Surviving the Fourth Calamity

Chapter 2398 Hill is never someone who lets go easily
Lister had no intention of looking at Russell, who had a face full of remorse and eyes full of shock. He just turned his body and directed a few puppets to pick up books from the library and send them over.

The books here now are basically photocopies of Hill's manuscript, so it doesn't matter how many you take.

However, Hill had not originally thought of giving them all the magic books, especially the advanced and specialized books related to alchemy and enchantment, so early.

Of course I would give it to them. I just plan to give it to them after some time, when the two children advance to the eighth ring and have a better understanding of the laws.

Not to mention magical planting... From the very beginning, Hill's definition of their magical botanical garden was to allow them to eat and drink well.

After all, even Hill couldn't help but feel dizzy when he first saw so many things he needed to learn.

But what can I say, there are some things that make you angrier the more you think about them... Hill could still hold it back when he didn't see Russell.

However, this is also good. At least Hill will feel less reluctant.

In fact, every time he leaves a world, it is a test for Hill.

From the fact that he always thinks clearly about his friends' lives hundreds of years later, it is clear how reluctant and worried Hill is.

Especially those from Toril, Hill almost packed them up and took them away.

However, how could it be possible that someone who was worthy of Hill's attention would not be noticed by the gods?
Even Lin En, who looks the weakest among them, is actually quite strong.

It’s just that when Hill met him, Lin En was still in his growth period… The singer actually thought highly of him.

Sometimes Liszt wanted to ask Hill, do you know that you are the special one?
Lin En's path is the normal path for a true follower of God. He experiences all kinds of things in the world, understands the true meaning of God's laws, and finally becomes God's spokesperson in the world.

But Lynn's future has actually been completely changed because of Hill's interference.

Liszt didn't believe that Hill couldn't see that the Singer was actually planning to train Lynn to become a senior member of the Harpists.

The kind of dissolute bard who runs a tavern, plays the piano and sings in public, but secretly, ah, no, as a voter, he should be an open intelligence transit station and task issuer for the Harpist.

But because of Hill's existence and the strange developments in Mistra's fateful journey... the God of Knowledge, who was forced to lose the foundation of Sword Coast and the ownership of the library, was shocked to find that the only thing they could do was to let Lin live freely.

Their policy of non-intervention allows the glory of the God of Knowledge to continue to exist in the North.

Because of Lynn's existence, Edna's large library also had a little bit of the God of Knowledge's side... At least, the managers of these two places can be considered colleagues.

According to Toril's rules, whether they exist or not, as long as Lynn maintains his current position, the God of Knowledge standing behind the singer will still be the orthodox church in the North.

That is, those atlases, when introducing each country and each city, will introduce the local beliefs... When it comes to Aglaia, even if the God of Knowledge does not have many priests here, he will be listed in the front row together with powerful gods such as Edna.

The God of Knowledge doesn't care much about his own beliefs, but he cares a lot about whether someone will continue to give him books... So, as long as the name is there, he will be satisfied.

But this created a very embarrassing situation. Although the singer was very kind and caring to Lin En and got along with him like a friend, he must have been looking for the voters for some purpose!

There is no way his divine power would go to waste.

However, the singer finally accepted his fate... Although he had many flaws, he was actually a very loyal person.

He is very loyal to his friends. For example, in Gaines' world, he sacrificed his incarnation for the former Lady Black Eyes.

And there is Lila. Even though he has always disapproved of Lila's inability to be cruel to Woking and her wasted efforts to make her return to the way she was in the past, he has never given up on helping Lila.

Of course, this is also the reason why he watched Lynn slip out of his pocket without saying a word... Mirli accompanied Lila to rescue Woking from Hill with a smile more than once.

Before the Road of Destiny happened, Miriel was always sneaky when she went to see Lynn, for fear of being "noticed" by Hill.

However, Hill's lack of attention made Miriel feel that she owed him something, in a sense.

So, even though this singer was wild and uninhibited, and was involved in countless bloody incidents...in matters between men and women, Hill had a really good impression of him.

Everyone knows how rare it is to find a god in Toril who is grateful, understands relationships, and has a bottom line.

Such a singer must be loyal to his boss, the God of Knowledge.

So, after hesitating for a while, he finally chose someone else to be the transit station.

But it was placed in the Harper's Building in the port of Aglaia, opposite the hotel.

However, by doing so, Miriel accomplished what he had always wanted to do...restore the Harpers to the purely neutral organization they once were.

Provide intelligence and support to resistance organizations, but do not organize various military organizations.

Originally, he, Dark-Eyed Mystra, and some neutral and good gods created the Harper just to fight against the psychopaths of the Three Gods of Death.

If they hadn't stolen the Tablet of Fate and brought about the demise of the Three Gods of Death, they would have actually lived very arrogantly in Toril.

To put it bluntly, if they were not so strong, they would not have the desire to control their own destiny.

However, Black Eyes' desire for control made the Harpist more and more like a so-called "resistance soldier" rather than the knight and hero that Miriel had imagined.

He was actually already very dissatisfied, but Hei Tong was his true friend... When Midnight, whose style of doing things was even more problematic, came to power, Miriel really wanted to cut ties with him.

He was even ready to split up the Harpers and allow the bards who were still willing to follow him to establish their own intelligence system.

In fact, at a certain period, he had already done it...Aglaia also felt the strange atmosphere at that time.

Although the beginning of the road of destiny was interrupted by the occurrence of the spell plague, Lin En still felt the turmoil caused by this great separation.

Then, Miriel welcomed the new magic goddess Edna... a goddess who left everything to the magic network to manage and didn't care what her believers wanted to do.

Not to mention the suddenly confused Harpist, all the gods who used to be allies of Mystra were shocked by his performance.

Although Edna inherited the position of the Goddess of Magic, she introduced herself to the outside world as 'Edna Mistra'.

In other words, she turned Mystra into an inherited surname, so that the goddess of magic, who had always been lonely and known for her priesthood, suddenly had a family.

But this also means that Edna does not admit that the magic goddess in front is her.

However, compared to Midnight's serious claim that she was Mystra and her sincere responsibility for taking on all of Hei Tong's sins...it can be said that there is basically no relationship between the two of them!
However, the relationship between Edna and Midnight is simply undeniable... This makes everyone who knows the truth have a deep understanding of the thickness of the skin of the new magic goddess.

And he knew clearly that the opportunities that had arisen in the past because of Midnight's overly frank and sincere attitude would never come again.

Although Midnight has many shortcomings, you can't deny that she is actually a good person.

However, after experiencing the very combative Black Eyes who always wanted to make the world a little kinder, the new Edna is really amazing.

She directly cut off all ties with the past, not only rejecting allies and enemies, but even her subordinates.

As for the voters, she did not take any action, but just declared that they were the voters of the Demon Network... All the rights of interpretation belonged to the Demon Network and had nothing to do with her as the housekeeper.

The mages of the Harper League fell into great chaos.

In the midst of chaos, Miriel discovered that... there was no need for him to divide the family, as he was the only one left at home.

After all, those gods were only willing to be the Harpist's backers because of Black Eyes, and he and Mistra were the only ones who really prepared the manpower seriously.

Edna's declaration caused those former allies to cut off their ties with the Harpers.

If things continue like this, the harpist will probably live up to its name... and become a synonym for bard.

Of course, the most important reason for the silence of those masters of the Harp who had the heart of a tiger was the existence of the undead.

They are just willing to sacrifice themselves for the good in their hearts, and they don't necessarily have to fight evil to the death.

In today's continent of Faerun, is there any room for them to fight for justice?
The master harpists who have worked hard for decades still want to live a good life for a few years.

And the longer the undead remain on Toril, the more time they have to rest.

But if they want to be someone who delivers messages, they are also willing to do so.

Then, Mirriel took over a large number of Harper strongholds...the one in Aglaia was the one he was most satisfied with.

In fact, the stronghold in Silvermoon City is also very good, but... Mirriel is not stupid, right?

So, he quickly opened a tavern here.

Although there is a tavern in the hotel opposite, but there... only those who are not brave enough dare to enter.

Even the Platinum Dragon people don't dare to enter easily without sufficient psychological preparation.

Lynn actually asked Hill about this matter seriously.

He knew very well that the Harpers had placed their main base here entirely because of him.

As long as Lynn is alderman of Aglaia, no dog here will piss in the Harper's Tavern.

But Lister knew very well how much effort Hill had put in to get things to this point.

His little bear was never the type to let go easily.
