287: Chapter 90: Hill Can Only Attend the Funeral Being One Step Too Late 287: Chapter 90: Hill Can Only Attend the Funeral Being One Step Too Late Hill did not believe that this lady could cause William any significant trouble.
The various sches and machinations laid out by the Noble Church wouldn’t co to light while William was still in this world.
Of course, it might not be the Noble Church.
But no matter who was behind it, they couldn’t confront William directly.
In this world, all the strategic planning and cunning ploys could only play a role when the powers involved were sowhat equal.
Overwhelming force was the most important bargaining chip.
Whether for mortals or deities.
Just like the Goddess of the Hunt, if She had not wanted to die, even the God of Ti and Space couldn’t have prevented Her from leaving.
And why did the Goddess of the Spring fall so easily?
Because She abandoned Her foundation, transforming from an embodint of a Law into a parasite that eked out an existence based on faith.
She beca so weak that a little turbulence could drown Her.
She was a True God, yet She allowed the newly ascended God of Ti and Space to seal Her Divine Kingdom, giving Her no chance to escape.
Unless a few more deities from the Dwarves and Elves were to fall, there was simply no one on this continent who could take down William.
Hill felt that, at a ti when the World Will was still quite favorable to the Undead Tribe, plotting conspiracies was just like sending them large-scale missions.
It was practically helping William out, saving him the trouble of coming up with things for this bunch to do.
Hill always felt as if he was assisting William, so he didn’t plan to explain this matter too clearly.
If the Undead Tribe discovered it, it would just be like Hill had once again led a storyline task.
If the Undead Tribe didn’t find out, then they would wait and see if they could cause so trouble for William in the future.
But Hill thought the chances of that happening were slim.
Maybe Hill’s schadenfreude was a bit too obvious, for the next day he received so bad news.
His biological father, Count Pelast, had finally ended his life.
Even if Hill didn’t want to leave the house, he had no choice but to leave his warm holand and travel to the distant northwest to attend the Earl’s funeral.
The Countess was quick to act, wasn’t she?
Hill languidly instructed List to help him prepare for the trip, as he still had a lot to deal with here!
With a worried frown, Hill went to check on Alice.
What was to be done with the little kitten?
Fortunately, rkel solved this problem for him.
Hill watched the swiftly changing sky and gently flew down to the base of the mountain.
It was just the ti when the Undead Tribe ca to lure the Magical Beasts, and they quickly rushed over as well.
Behind them followed a line of Magical Beasts.
To the Magical Beasts of Hill Valley, it was rkel who was the awe-inspiring figure.
Hill was rely the landlord.
However, Hill did get the rare chance to see so many feline creatures all at once.
The Undead Tribe mbers gazed at the various big and small cats in the trees, all of them growing restless.
Many girls’ eyes seed to well up with water as they stood under the trees and owed.
But isn’t it a bit too much to ow at a leopard?
That leopard was almost unable to resist swatting you with its paw, my lady!
Hill used the tension of the Undead Tribe to distract from his own worries.
In so ways, rkel was similar to him.
If his ntal Sea had been overwheld by ancestral inheritance during his advancent, the result, even if successful, would be a drastic change in his personality, no longer the sa individual as before.
If it really was, as rkel thought, the mories and experiences of that Demigod being passed down, Hill didn’t even want to consider how terrifying that stream of consciousness would be, requiring how strong a will from rkel.
But Hill sincerely hoped that rkel would succeed perfectly.
In the sky, there was no tall mountain peak that signified the advancent of an Elent Lord.
Instead, there were steep cliffs with various colored boulders suspended, and uneven Earth Spikes that had appeared on the ground.
This signified that a legend of the agile Earth System was advancing.
Hill didn’t drive away the spectating Undead Tribe; he needed their chaotic noises to stabilize his emotions.
Hill keenly felt a small figure swiftly rushing over.
Alice had actually interrupted her sleep and dashed over in the middle of her advancent.
He caught Alice as she rushed towards the cave and held her tightly, “Don’t worry, rkel is strong.
Charging over will only disturb him.”
Alice owed a few tis, eventually collapsing despondently into Hill’s arms, “Why did he have to advance while I was asleep!
I almost missed it.”
“I don’t think rkel will be pleased when he cos out and finds that you interrupted his deep sleep for advancent,” Hill didn’t respond to her unreasonable complaints.
Advancent wasn’t sothing rkel could control himself.
Moreover, when Alice wakes up, she will be a legend, and rkel certainly wouldn’t want his rank to be lower than hers.
Alice lazily pressed her head against Hill’s arm, “It’s okay, just a bit of scolding.
How could I possibly fall asleep, ow~”
Ti passed, and the strange sights in the sky gradually faded away.
Hill carried Alice and slowly walked toward the entrance of the cave.
Then, the black leopard erged from the cave, brushing past the entrance.
It had grown more than twice its original size.
Alice stared in astonishnt, “Isn’t he a leopard?
Why is he growing taller?”
rkel, with sharp ears, heard her and leapt in front of Hill in one stride, “I’m very well, extrely well.
As an Earth System magical beast, to only grow this much after becoming legendary is already a matter related to the leopard bloodline.”
Hill looked at rkel carefully, the aura emanating from him, the aura shining around him, all told Hill that this was still rkel, unchanged.
“Congratulations!” Hill placed Alice on rkel’s back, “Would you like to stay in my tower for now?
It’s best for Alice to continue sleeping, and you can decide where to live after she wakes up, okay?”
After becoming a legend, rkel no longer needed to sleep on the ground to feel the Earth’s laws; he was already very closely connected to the laws he was part of.
The relationship between magical beasts and laws has always been very close.
Thus, they can easily beco demigods, or even deities.
This is an entirely different path than that of mages who analyze and utilize laws.
Hill, as a magician, actually has a path very similar to that of magical beasts.
So seeing rkel’s success, Hill truly felt happy and believed that his own advancent could be just as successful.
rkel nodded in agreent.
“I’ll be leaving in the next two days.
If sothing cos up, look for List.” As Hill led rkel toward the Magic Tower, he made a sign to List to postpone the appointnt with the Undead Tribe by another two hours, then asked them to leave.
“You are going out again?” rkel said curiously, “Aren’t you afraid of bumping into trouble again?
I think it’s better for you to go out after you’ve beco a legend.”
“I’ve co across sothing that I can’t avoid.” Hill said helplessly, “My father has passed away, and I need to leave imdiately.”
“Well, then it can’t be helped,” rkel said, “Just take care of yourself and don’t ddle in idle affairs.
I feel like whenever you get involved in anything, things tend to escalate.”
Hill remained silent.
He didn’t think he was soone who stirred up trouble everywhere, but trouble seed to have a way of finding him.
After rkel entered the Magic Tower, he keenly glanced downward, “Why is the Earth’s aura so strong after your Earth elent lord has advanced?”
Hill smiled, “I’ve obtained a Divine Artifact of the Earth System, likely a shield made by dwarves.
It is now with the Earth Elental, hoping to awaken the beast soul.”
“All dwarves should die!” rkel said harshly, “The first enemy of magical beasts is dwarves.
I can sense that the World Will has shifted more towards magical beasts, the wilderness demigods are likely to erge soon.”
“Why?” As Hill accompanied them onto the Floating Stairway, thankfully, having foreseen that the Earth elent might be curious to ride it, he made the stairway quite large.
“This world has suffered a great trauma in the past,” rkel said, “When you beco a legend, you will probably see it too.
The World Will slept for a very long ti.
It only awoke about a hundred thousand years ago, and by that ti, Its control over this world was already very weak.
Isn’t the Natural Consciousness also very foolish?
It woke up even later.
Otherwise, how could It not know that the Nature God was murdered?
Now, it seems like the World Will has slowly regained control over the World Rules.
Once It favors magical beasts, demigods won’t need to live off the chaos of the wilderness laws anymore.”
Hill felt that the Natural Consciousness was displeased but it did not deny rkel’s words.
After sending them to Alice’s guest room, rkel was quite satisfied with the room located below Hill’s study.
List had completely cleared out this floor, leaving only the botanical garden.
Their rooms were made with transparent crystal walls.
Lying on the thick carpet, one could see the scenery outside.
Alice, drowsy, was very pleased, “I really like it!”
rkel dropped her onto the beautiful little bed, “Go to sleep now!
I’ll stay beside you.”
Hill did not plan to disturb them and left imdiately after saying goodbye.
Hill looked up at the sky outside, the wilderness ntioned by rkel had piqued his interest.
List approached, “Srei is ready, currently in sailboat mode, and so from the Undead Tribe want to join you on the trip.”
Hill glanced at List, mbers of the Undead Tribe who had taken on the task of following up on the Earl’s news?
“I’ve changed the task to, the truth behind the Earl’s death,” List said honestly.
Hill sighed; once a task was issued, it could not be taken back, so he had to change it.
He was uncertain how much secret the Undead Tribe could dig up.
How could the Countess have acted so swiftly!
Did she start her move after hooking up with Duke Saral?
Where did she find the people to carry out the deed?
Despite Hill’s complaints, he couldn’t help but laugh, “This is the Countess who satisfied the Earl the most, what a perfect black lotus!”
“If that lady hasn’t contacted Edgar, don’t ddle,” Hill said to List as he flew toward the valley entrance, “I think if she truly loves her son, she wouldn’t let him know what she’s doing.”
“And if she wants Edgar to do sothing?” List asked, “He’s currently in Kexlote, and if he performs well, he might be able to join the City Defense Forces.”
“If she sends soone to contact Edgar, then be straightforward with him,” Hill said coldly, “I won’t allow soone holding my letter of introduction to the Knight School to get involved in this kind of trouble.
If he wishes to acknowledge his mother, then he should leave Kexlote.”
“Very well, sir,” List nodded, “I will ask Mr.
Snow Cloud Peak to have soone keep a close eye on him.”
