Survive the Fourth Natural Disaster

While Hill was fighting for how much fun he could get in the future, the alchemists who were digging the golden cloud orchid pond had to pause.

Although they brought enough equipment to isolate the air, for these alchemists who had been pampered for a long time, the workload was really too much.

However, in order to avoid causing the soil to mutate again due to the release of magic, Finch did not allow anyone to use magic to move the soil that had been dug for five meters without seeing the end.

When Earl Stehr and Finch were chatting back and forth, they could still divert their attention... As a member of the Alchemy Association of Basia City, the relationship with the Stehr family has always been bad. It can be seen that The enemy's fun is quite happy for them.

However, the spiritual happiness cannot offset the pain of bending down and digging... They have not done this kind of hard work all year round, and they don't know how to use their skills, so they really put all their strength into every shovel and persisted all day and night. , when they saw the scorching sun the next day, most people couldn't hold on any longer.

After all, there are only a dozen of them.

Count Stehr actually noticed the alchemists' slower and slower movements in the morning. However, at that time, Ellie was running between the castle and the Archmage Belfran's residence, and she also wanted to help Alexei. The prince communicated back and forth to deliver the goods... He didn't want Finch to cause trouble in the middle.

Count Stehr also doesn't want the Alchemy Association to take the opportunity to have a good relationship with the Great Sage Belfland... The Stehr family can't control their dealings, but at least Finch can't be allowed to side with Ellie. Before.

If in the past, the Great Sage Belfran was only the backup escape route chosen by their family, at the moment when the Silk Incident was exposed, it was their only choice.

He even wrote a letter to Dieter as soon as the incident happened... Although he would not withdraw from the border guard immediately, Dieter must always be prepared for this.

First, Dieter must prepare a certificate for returning to Basia City to garrison... Young people who want to inherit the military noble title must have military service experience. Otherwise, if they want the heirs of the Steer family to enter the army in the future, then You have to start all over again.

Friendship must exist in every generation, no one cares how other people's children live.

If it weren't for such strict requirements, Damboro's army wouldn't be so powerful.

Fortunately, Dieter had been with him since he was a child. Time and experience were enough to prove his ability. Young people from other families also recognized his identity, so the harm of coming back early was not too great.

After all, because of Earl Steer's original decision, Dieter was no longer qualified to compete for the leadership position of the next senior military officer.

Therefore, although Dieter's return will still hurt his future to a certain extent, it is not serious enough to completely cut off the Stehr family's prospects in the military.

As long as the successor is not the second prince.

Earl Ster found this ridiculous when he thought about it... After the Spider Silk incident was exposed, the most difficult thing was not the harming party, but the victims.

He even had to exaggerate the harm to the family in his letter, telling his eldest son to run away as soon as he noticed any trouble... lest Dieter, who loved military life and fought bravely in blood and fire, gave up the idea of ​​returning home due to a moment of luck. .

The earl knows very well about narrow-minded superiors like the second prince... When everyone knows that he has assassinated the Stel family because of a trivial matter, he will only choose to eradicate the problem and get rid of it once and for all.

In this way, he won't have to worry about a big family plotting against him at any time.

Typical villain mentality of 'I can plot against you, but you can't resist, even knowing the truth is your fault'.

When the Ster family was not caught in the plot and found out who was plotting it, the second prince would fight them to the death.

And Dieter, who has combat missions in the army at any time, is the best target... Linde is already dead, and the future of the Stehr family is only Dieter and Ellie.

Fortunately, there is Ellie, so that the Stell family will not lose everything.

Earl Ster stood outside the hole that was getting bigger and bigger, and even spread to the hyacinth flower pond on the other side. He calmly asked Finch, who looked evil, and asked the alchemists to show their strength: "These isolation breaths Can the alchemy equipment be used only by yourselves?

If magic support is needed, the Ster family also has a team of magic swordsmen that can be used.

This thing doesn’t need to be kept secret, right? "

Finch looked at him with a confused look on his face, and then suddenly took a few steps back quickly: "Damn it, weren't all the flowers dug up?

Is this soil... a bigger problem? "

Earl Steer glanced at him curiously: "Are you affected again?"

Finch frowned, took out a small bottle from the storage ring and sprayed himself with ice water.

Then he looked at the Earl who was looking at him eagerly and said: "This is pure water, which can immediately relieve all kinds of toxins. Breaths like this that only affect emotions have almost immediate effects.

This is a very expensive material. Only the Great Sage can bypass the blockade set by Triton and open a gap to the elemental sea. Each time it lasts only half an hour.

If it's for Linde, you don't have to spend that money.

After he leaves the spider silk and this ghost place, he will slowly recover on his own.

And, I think, within three years at most, we should be able to find a way to undo this effect.

Of course, if you insist on going bankrupt, then I don’t have to worry about it... My house is not for sale anyway.

I don’t have enough! "

Earl Ster hesitated for a moment, then turned to look at the mistress's bedroom on the upper floor of the castle, then looked back and asked: "So... how much is it?

I tried to ask the Great Sage Belveland... Although he was aloof, he was not cold-blooded. If he wanted to save people, he would probably help a little bit. "

Finch was a little surprised: "I thought you would give up on Linde... After all, your father has done everything he can to be benevolent and righteous!"

Which nobleman would do this for his second son?

Your Dieter can become the most wanted brother of all the noble children in Danboro who cannot inherit the family business!

Does the Stehr family still have money?

No, can your eldest son still tolerate it? You don’t want such a good eldest son? "

Count Stehr shook his head: "Dieter will understand me... If Lind still does this after his mind is clear, then it is natural to give up on him.

But... there's still a half chance that he will turn back to the same person he once was, right?

After all, we can’t let all the efforts we made in the past go to waste! "

Finch looked at him as if he were a madman: "Pure water is priced drop by drop, and the market price is 500 gold per drop.

You have to buy at least 100 drops to have any effect.

But people with pure water will basically not accept gold coins. "

Then his expression suddenly turned serious, and he said in a cold tone: "Where is your team of magic swordsmen?

Why are you still procrastinating?

Are we doing the work only for ourselves? "

Earl Stehr knew that Finch had completely recovered from the ups and downs of emotions he was affected by, and he was once again the Finch branch president who was hostile to the Stehr family.

"Joshua!" Count Ster turned around and shouted loudly... The window of his study was pushed open, and a messy head poked out.

"I'm here! What do you want me to do?"

"Bring a team of magic swordsmen to help the mages!"

"yes!"

Joshua quickly ran over with twelve fully armed magic swordsmen, and quickly replaced the alchemists who were too tired to move.

"Where is your butler Ted?" Finch looked at Joshua who was directing his men to work and asked calmly.

"The castle needs someone to clean it up." Count Ster's tone was equally calm.

However, hidden under this calmness are countless bloody storms.

"There seems to be a connection between Prince Alexei and the respected Great Sage." Finch turned to look at him, "You seem to have a very good attitude towards him, so good that I almost thought you chose a side. ”

"He is only twenty years old, and no one in his mother's family can teach him." Count Steer said softly, "However, he... ha~ I don't believe you can't see his role in this matter.

A better attitude will never go wrong. "

"The Danboro royal family will always have such characters." Finch looked forward with a solemn expression, "On the contrary, the current king is a bit mutated."

"The second prince's familiarity with crystal fruits and silk spiders made me think that he was the one who discovered this thing." Earl Steer sneered.

"My father already knows about this." Finch said very solemnly, "He directly found the Great Sage Ismail."

"Um?"

“If there is anyone who doesn’t want to see the Danboro royal family become what it is now…of course it’s only Ismail.

The one in the palace would only believe Ismail. "

Earl Ster looked at him in surprise: "What?

Are you planning to search the palace directly? "

"The existence of the Damboro royal family is still necessary." Finch said without changing his expression, "We are just competing, not trying to trap them.

At least there is no reason that cannot be related to our Alchemy Association.

The development of Spider Silk comes from us, and naturally we can only finish it.

At least the nobles must know that the Silk Spider is in danger and needs to be sealed first.

However, which noble would cut off his financial lifeline before seeing the truth with his own eyes?

Only the fact that the king was killed can make them wary. "

"Where's the Spider Master?"

"That is a powerful man who is about to become a great sage. The Alchemy Association can only take back his words."

"Huh?" Count Steer reacted suddenly, "So...at most the king declares that he is an unwelcome guest in Damborough, and everything else remains as usual?"

"That's not necessarily true. Doesn't the Danboro royal family also have its own great sage?"

"This world... is really crazy."

“That’s good, at least the king dares to expel him.

Although crystal energy weapons cannot be used easily, they are not impossible to use. "

"So... what a disgusting world you want to go back to?"

"The mage doesn't think so."
