Surviving The Fourth Natural Disaster

0006: BATTLE ROYAL

After quietness, Hill cheered up and said, “Uncle Adrian must have brought me a lot of news, right?”

Adrian shook his head and said, “It's lucky you didn't go to the capital.
At first, I disagree with the teacher about allowing you moving on your own.
The teacher was an Archmage, and I'm also a Mage, so why couldn't we keep a child? Fortunately, the teacher didn't listen to me.”

Hill couldn't help asking: “Is the capital in chaos now? “

“The king is going to die!” Adrian said: “The eldest prince was just an ordinary knight, and the second prince was a heavenly knight! Although he was a fool! Even the little prince and the two princesses were also great knights.”

Hill confusedly asked, “Does the eldest prince have many supporters?” The Salar Kingdom had only changed three kings.
They all were Celestial knights who could live for 400 or 500 years.
The eldest prince was almost 80 years old.
How could anyone support him? The old king survived the long-lived predecessor just because he was a celestial knight.

“No one thought the king would become old so early, and they all thought the eldest prince would go to see the previous king first.
Everyone was waiting for him to die, and no one wanted to fight with the eldest prince.
But now, the eldest prince would definitely fight for this opportunity in this situation.
After 10 years, he is still alive.
Don't forget that he also has a son who became a great knight at 20.
It is said that he was about to be in sky knight level.” 

Adrian sneered: “Not to mention that this one is still married to the eldest daughter of the Grand Duke of Moran! The capital is now in a mess.
Most Mages in the Magic Tower have closed their doors to thank that.”

“Most? And the Archmages?”

“There will always be people who think they are pursuing the world.
Power is easier than magic.” Adrian said indifferently: “The teacher also has a few disciples who have left.”

Hill understood: “Does anyone still think that grandfather will be dragged into the water by these disciples who have been expelled from the door?”

“No, some people will think the teacher wants to take revenge on them!”

“Is the Earl going to be unlucky?”

Adrian suddenly laughed: “I thought you didn't care.”

Hill said calmly: “I don't care.
But it doesn't mean I don't want to see him unlucky.”

“Then you can see it.
Not so many people would help him.
Don't try to hide if you owe favors.
Wait for him to be unlucky!” Adrian said, “The teacher asked me to stay with you for a while.”

Adrian's father was a Marquis, and his mother also had a trace of royal blood.
No one knows if all the great nobles would have to choose a side in the end.
After Frank sent him out, he would probably lock himself up until it was over.

Hill nodded in agreement: “It happens that there are still many things in my Magic Tower that have not been arranged, and the magic circle on the outer wall of the territory also needs to be carved.”

Adrian rolled his eyes at him: “Am I here to be a coolie?!

Hill smiled bitterly: “When I arrive at the Archmage level, I don't need to meditate daily.
But, now I have to work harder.” 

When the Mana had accumulated a lot in the body, it naturally entered the Archmage stage.
When the Mage profession had reached the stage of the Archmage, the soul and body could communicate with the Mana from time to time, no longer needing to meditate for a long time only to obtain Mana.

When the Mana inside the body had reached the limit, and when the soul could resonate with the mana, it would enter the Legendary.
Therefore, most Mages needed the help of the Magic Tower to absorb the Mana.
and the one who stayed in the Magic Tower most often.

Adrian said regretfully: “I can't help you.
I will give you a copy of my spellbook.
Don't rely on the spells awakened by the Warlock bloodline to live, you must study and read more books.
Become a Warlock.
You can't be misled by your own bloodline, you have to know the reason why Legendary Warlock are rare, because most Warlock only rely on spells from their awakening!”

Hill understood that Warlock was indeed powerful at low levels.
You didn't need to work hard to learn spells, the spell was engraved as soon as you awakened your bloodline, and the spells were instant cast.
If you just want to live a good life, Warlock was a great profession.

But pursuing a higher path and eliminating the temptation of bloodlines was very difficult.
The ease of the Warlock in the early stage had been turned around when your level reached the legendary.
Suppose they couldn't resist the bloodline temptation.
Then, the Warlocks would gradually lose their human nature, and finally, they would be completely reduced to a creature according to their bloodline.

Therefore, Hill must read more, lay a solid foundation at each stage, and couldn't let himself sink into the bloodline's power.

Adrian brought Hill a message box to use to communicate with Frank.
It was expensive.
It can only be installed by a mage and could only be used in the magic tower, and it couldn't be moved after it was turned on.
It took much mana to use each time, and only the magic tower owner could read the content.

However, although it was expensive to use, it is best not to lack it when you need it.

Frank was not qualified to monopolize the court magic tower as a Mage.
After all, it was owned by the royal family.
And the Archmage could only own one of the seven 12-floor magic towers in the capital.

There were only 4 Archmages in the entire capital, so Frank quickly chose a tower and moved in after becoming an Archmage.
By the time he knew where Hill was going, it was already winter.
Salar's winter was still quite cold, and the road was problematic.
There was no need to go out at this time if there was nothing urgent.

Initially, I didn't intend to let Adrian come over, and Frank still wanted to teach him a few years before letting him go.
There were still a few attendants around Frank who used to pass messages.

Unexpectedly, the old king's health was even worse in the spring.
Frank felt that something big was going to happen, so he asked Adrian to come over and by the way, he brought the message box and packed it.

Frank and Adrian agreed that he would call him once every six months if there were no major events.
He would explain the situation in the capital in detail, and they were not allowed to enter the capital or country to inquire about the situation.
So don't send him a message if it's not a matter of life or death.
Then, when it's all over, Frank will notify them.

Adrian put the box on Hill's desk, and Hill called Liszt out to connect.
Adrian looked at Hill's puppet and said nothing.
He had long known that Hill would not use Melanie's image.
He'd told Frank once that he'd be content if Hill didn't end up using his mother's look as a puppet.
Fortunately, Hill still had the self-consciousness of a noble Mage, which was good.

Mage generally teaches knights even when they pamper their minions.
Hill's behavior of letting Bonn learn spells was very rebellious.
Although Adrian disagreed, Hill gave Bonn what he gave him to use, and Lina was very conscientious and didn't stop it firmly.
With Melanie's precedent, Hill's only occasional outrageous behavior didn't arouse Frank's distaste.

But Adrian was apprehensive about Hill's temperament that didn't care much about class.
Moreover, he would arouse Frank's dissatisfaction if he was too friendly to the Lina family and went beyond his master servants' limits.
Fortunately, Hill was still rational.

Hill ignored Adrian's eyes.
As soon as Liszt was connected, a lot of information was sent from the box opposite.
He looked at Liszt surrounded by light auras and was very curious about the principle of this thing.
He must study more magic alchemy.
It's really amazing!

Liszt used the magic resonance to release the message that Frank sent.
The image of Frank appeared in the air, and Adrian and Hill quickly sat down and listened.

In his usual indifferent tone, Frank told them to stay out of business and read more and don't even touch the border without him.
The eldest prince's movements were strange.
The second prince desperately sought ways and medicines to prolong his life and visited all of Magic Tower.
It was a pity that the old king doted on a seductive mistress for the past two years and did not repent even when he fell ill several times.

The little prince suddenly fell off his horse last week and had been bedridden.
The two princesses were afraid of accidents and returned to their husband's fief.

It insulted all knights for a great knight to fall and be injured, no matter who was behind the scenes.
But, even the little prince was used as a threat.
So it plays a role in killing the chicken and showing the monkey.

The eldest prince, Edward, has always been gloomy.
While the second prince, Charles, was arrogant.
But the little prince, William, who had always been practicing martial arts and did not communicate with the nobles, was also being clean up.
Nevertheless, it was estimated that everyone who did not want to participate in this matter shudders.

Hill looked at each other: “Uncle Adrian, the little prince, is only in his 20s, right?”

 “28 years old, the king's youngest child.
He is 12 years younger than the eldest prince's eldest son.”

 “Let's be honest and obedient!”

 “Okay! Okay! I'll carve a magic circle for you when I have time!” 

No one knew who would win the thrones, but the nobles of Salar must probably stand in line.
But Frank was not stupid enough to be threatened, and Frank was probably the one with the least weakness.
So the only two remaining important people to him were squatting abroad, and only enemies were at home.
I didn't know if the mastermind behind grandpa's problem regretted it.

Anyway, Hill was pleased.
If the trouble was like this, the person behind the scene might have to reveal his fault.
Frank's temper would kill him on the spot.
Hill wouldn't think about whether he had the chance to be reincarnated without this person.
The person behind the scene treated other people's lives as pawns of conspiracy and tricks.
This kind of person should not end well.

Mana ==> Magic Energy or something like that 😉
