Surviving the Fourth Calamity

Chapter 2311 Gilbert is implicated
The two people from Trahill are doing their own things, each with their own thoughts... No matter what, they are both heading in a better direction, and the future is not without hope.

Gilbert, who was captured by Hill as a medium of communication, really felt a black screen before his eyes.

He actually respected this great wizard from another world who helped him a lot and allowed him to be seen by the Styx, so as soon as the other party opened his mouth, Gilbert consciously acted as a transit point without even asking the other party's purpose.

Of course, this was also because Minghe had already made it clear to him, telling him that Archmage Hill was qualified.

Gilbert needed to consider carefully whether to report his own affairs to Styx, but he didn't need to think too much about matters related to Hill.

Whether it is suitable or not is Minghe's own business, and he doesn't need Gilbert to help him think about it.

That's why Gilbert was so straightforward.

But now he really regretted his straightforwardness.

He should have asked first.

Of course, this doesn't mean that he would stop Hill from having this conversation, but at least it would allow him to be mentally prepared so that he wouldn't tremble while listening.

After such a long time, Gilbert actually has some understanding of the River Styx.

This man is really afraid of trouble, and he hates it most when irrelevant people ask him to do things for no reason...and among them, the God of Death, who he has arranged as the manager of the Styx, is also considered irrelevant by the Styx.

Generally speaking, unless the messenger of the Styx arranged by him dies, the Styx will not care about whether the tributaries of the Styx in the world through which it has already flowed will explode.

Therefore, although the gods of death in each world nominally have the backing of the Styx, they actually still have to rely on themselves.

Of course, this is not without its advantages. At least it is very independent.

But in return, they have to face those powerful enemies and snoopers on their own.

It is because the world they live in is still under repair that the Styx left an ear here... but the other party is actually very impatient.

Anything that hinders its free flow is the enemy of the Styx!

And the plan that Hill handed over... Gilbert was sure that Styx would be very interested.

The old man has never been afraid of expending too much energy... For him, how much is too much?

What annoys him is that he always has to go back and fix it.

But no one knows whether this god of death whom he promoted on a whim, or the natural god of death who directly merged with the law of death because of resonance with the Styx, can withstand the resistance and spying of death from the outside world.

There are more than one or two Grim Reapers who have failed.

Moreover, now that the God of Death is dead, it is really difficult to resurrect him... The so-called resurrected God of Death can only prove that he had fallen into a deep sleep before.

After all, the law of death will not deceive itself.

In a world without the god of death, the City of Death that houses the undead will definitely be closed... and the River Styx will inevitably be blocked.

Even if the Styx reacts slowly, it can only last a few thousand years at most. He will be annoyed enough to go back and repair these worlds, and then find another god of death that he likes.

However, William's design fits the character of the Styx very well... it's done once and for all, and there's no need to look back for thousands of years.

Especially in a world like Gilbert's world where there are very few people and even no animals, once it is successfully built, it is estimated that it will be fine for hundreds of thousands of years.

Even if Gilbert, the messenger of death, encounters some accident, it can still last for a long time, including the City of Death, and it will not be passively closed due to the lack of a manager.

But this is not a good thing for the God of Death itself.

Gilbert certainly wasn't considering issues like divine power and authority, which were currently far away from him.

On the contrary, after this semi-automatic city of death was built, he could even skip the initial internship stage and directly become the God of Death.

After all, although most areas do not require manpower, transfer and monitoring do require a lot of manpower.

For Gilbert, manpower is not a problem.

Although the Heinarson family does not have any great abilities, their soul power is condensed enough, and they have dozens of descendants who can materialize into physical bodies after entering the City of Death.

With the current number of undead in their world, having ten subordinates at the beginning would be enough.

But on the other hand, this also requires the Grim Reaper, who normally doesn't need any subordinates, to study the complex subject of personnel management.

The most troublesome thing is that the God of Death must be completely tied to the City of Death in order to maintain the operation of these institutions.

Who said that the buildings built by the Styx can only be driven by orthodox death messengers!

Of course, when he becomes strong enough, Gilbert can also create an avatar to take charge of the situation on his behalf.

But... in the initial stage, he had no other way to go!
When Gilbert thought that no matter how turbulent the outside world was, he, the God of Death, could only sit in the center of the city as a power source, unable to participate in anything and could only watch such things...he felt a black screen in front of his eyes.

How much evil did the God of Death, Trashir, commit in the past to make these Trashir gods come up with such an interesting way of going to jail?

The more Gilbert thought about it, the sadder he became... As for the idea that the Styx would bypass their world and ignore such things, he definitely would not have such a beautiful imagination.

Gilbert believed that in the future, Styx would do the same in any new world like theirs where there were no gods or strong people.

As the future god of death who is currently building his own city of death, Gilbert is well aware that this plan will benefit both the Styx and himself.

The benefits are even greater for the undead.

How many believers can enter the kingdom of the gods they believe in after death?
Haha~Except for Lansendel who just left, Gilbert had never heard of a second god who could do such a thing as protecting his believers.

Of course, his followers are indeed very devout.

But are those neglected believers not pious? They are just not strong enough to convey their love and loyalty to their gods.

Therefore, death is another adventure for many humans, and this time, the chance of failure is very high and the consequences of failure are even more terrible.

At least during the time Gilbert was studying, he could see that many worlds could not guarantee the safety of these souls even within the City of Death.

At this time, even if you give up your faith in life and follow the god of death, it will be useless... the undead cannot provide the power of faith.

However, even if people know that they may encounter these dangers after death, how many people are willing to give up their interests in life and choose to believe in and follow the god of death who will never respond to them?
Unless there are evil God of Death who wants to make the whole world filled with only dead people, there will be villains and lunatics following closely behind them.

Gilbert read a lot of information and found that the god of death in Toril, whose name was "Justice of Death", was the only person that a normal person could follow.

But that was also because the previous rulers of Kelemvor had left him a huge mess. The entire world of Toril was full of existences that violated the law of death... He had to make tremendous efforts for this, but the lost land he recovered was still pitifully small.

In other worlds, liches are insignificant and necromancers are even more shameful.

What about Toril... Not only can everything become a lich, but necromancers have even founded a country!

When Gilbert was accepting the common sense transmission of the Styx, he didn't know how grateful he was to live and die in this world!

If the Hynarson family were in Toril, they would have died long ago.

And if he were to become the god of death in Toril, it would be better for him to just die.

To be honest, Gilbert really felt that Styx's training for him was really useless.

You can learn it once you learn it, but it’s all useless once you do it.

Instead, he was quite happy that there was a dragon cub and her evil dragon father squatting in the outer area of ​​his City of Death.

Now Gilbert understood why Styx thought that giving them this territory was enough to compensate the red dragon for all the work they had done during this period.

The newly born City of Death on the River Styx has a strong attraction for some evil creatures.

They are coming for the large number of undead that will appear in the future...that will be food for them.

There was nothing to be afraid of for them as long as they didn't go to the City of Death.

Without the assistance of the power of law, the God of Death is just a weak god... When his strength increases greatly and he has the ability to kill these powerful soul-eaters, those who dare to stay here will not be weak.

The weak naturally know that when it is time to move, there is always a new place waiting for them.

However, the soul-eater who moved to this world with his family came face to face with a powerful ancient red dragon.

If the little dragon likes one, he can still keep his life. Of course, this also depends on whether they have enough money to buy back the life.

However, the ancient red dragon that Xiaolong didn't like didn't care at all whether he had to search slowly on his own.

He was very good at exploring things like dimensional space keys, and it was obvious that he was a veteran.

Gilbert's life is much better than that of other new dead gods.

Of course, the red dragon was also very satisfied... the enemies were rich and easy to fight, and they brought many minions and food with them.

His daughter's small kingdom was old enough to start building a palace.

There's no way. Generally speaking, the most commonly controlled creatures by creatures like Soul Eaters are dwarves.

Even if they lose their minds, their instinct to dig holes will always remain.

There are also many dwarfs, who make suitable servants and are very useful in building houses and doing household chores.

Gilbert once thought about whether he should borrow a few people from the red dragon to help with the construction... He had a lot of skeletons and undead working, but not many of them had the brains to know how to build a house, let alone build it well.

But Gilbert had no choice, because all the stronger souls in this world had been snatched away by those devils!
But he was short of money and couldn't come up with enough money to impress the red dragon, so Gilbert planned to take it slow and let the skeleton dig out the foundation first.
