Surviving the Fourth Calamity

Chapter 632 The Warlock Who Advances in Unpredictable People

This autumn, a plague emerged from the northern continent of Faerun and swept across the entire Faerun.

Silvermoon City and Baldur's Gate are naturally impossible to avoid.

Although many people understand why there is such a rapid rate of infection, no one tells the common people that as long as they don't touch money, they may be safe.

On the contrary, many nobles began to buy large quantities of food and materials at high prices, so that farmers and fishermen who knew nothing would offer their property and lives together.

On the contrary, Neverwinter, which had made a deal with Hill, made enough reserves because of the war with Luskan, and saved most of its population during the great plague that swept across the entire Northland.

The royal family of Neverwinter City indeed lived up to their reputation of being kind and capable. Although some gold, silver and jewels still fell into the hands of the residents, a large amount of property they brought back was put into sealed warehouses.

The leading princess even brought her team members directly into the magic tower of the Chief Mage of Neverwinter City, hoping to find a way to save the people from herself and her companions.

Professionals who are physically strong enough will not be knocked down by this plague, but they carry the source of the plague on them.

Neverwinter was also the only city that said that the treasure of Baal might be the source of the great plague, but Hill got the news from the Harpers, and the other cities not only chose to cover up the news, but even figured it out All kinds of rumors are used to suppress the real reason coming from Neverwinter.

Especially Luskan, who was not affected much, and Bane, who is also the three gods of death, helped Baal share the cauldron. Zhentarim became the main messenger of the plague, and Luskan's Arcane Brotherhood would naturally not be less , Plague is their forte.

Obviously everyone saw it, and the group of pirates in Luskan also left with a lot of gold, silver and jewels, and even robbed some people along the way.

They don't care that they can no longer enter the town of Aglaia to drink. If they have money, someone will deliver them for them.

Many cities came forward to accuse Luskan's evil forces of creating the plague, and even used the epidemic in Neverwinter two years ago as evidence.

It completely ignores that Luskan is a city where ordinary people can't survive at all. Even if they don't reach the level of formal professionals, Luskan's people are strong enough.

On the contrary, in Neverwinter, no one said that at all. They felt that it was the greatest humiliation to themselves who bravely resisted Luskan's invasion.

Because of this, Hill has a better attitude towards Neverwinter. At least the inexplicable arrival of Prince Bane gave him a warning.

Judging from the performance of Silver Shield, they didn't think it was any surprise that Hill had taken precautions in advance.

Some things, although can not be said, but the results can always be seen.

Although Hill couldn't be sure if they did it on purpose, he felt that if something happened, he might choose to give them a hand. After all, it also showed him a little bit of the beauty of human nature.

Otherwise, Hill would really be completely disappointed in this world.

But now, he no longer thinks how great the gods of Toril are. Even the noble gods of Trasil are better than them in some aspects.

Including those silent good-aligned gods.

Some gods are indeed blocked, such as Tire, although he doesn't know who the enemy he is facing, but he can't even use God's Descend.

However, he still issued an order to confiscate Baal's hidden treasure, and gods like Miril also issued similar orders.

Lansander even asked his followers to completely burn those things.

In fact, it also told those ordinary people the source of the plague.

But even a powerful god cannot force everyone to hand over these expensive things. There will always be people who feel that their lives are not as important as money.

Most people have a fluke mentality, not to mention, this plague can't cause any harm to healthy professionals, at most it can make them weak for a few days.

There are also some gods who didn't do anything, but only spoke to hope that their believers would not be greedy, and then closed their doors at home.

Although these things had nothing to do with their clergy, Hill was surprised that thousands of priests didn't move at all.

Toril's kindness seems to be different from what Hill thought.

To a certain extent, the church that Toril worked the hardest on this matter turned out to be that of Su Lun and Ransander.

Hill really didn't expect that the Slate of Destiny had such a strong control over these gods.

Toril is really a terrifying world. The more Hill understands it, the more Hill feels that this place is really only suitable for traveling.

Fortunately, after he came here, the first friend he met was an elf, and the second was a dragon, and they didn't have so many constraints.

This allowed Hill to maintain enough sanity.

Although other cities also tried to come to Hill to buy pearls that can make pure water, many people were stopped from the shops because of the black aura they carried on their bodies.

Those who can get in occasionally have to compete with groups of merchants for quotas.

Hill has refused to see any outsiders.

The people in Alastriol are not good, and Hill and she don't have such a good friendship.

Sometimes, Alustri's kindness is very erratic, she thinks too much, and when encountering something related to the Silver Moon Alliance, she will always withdraw the hand she has extended.

Therefore, it is difficult for a person like Hill to establish any friendship with her.

Lady, as long as it's business.

The Silver Moon Dragon Queen and her husband will only work for Alaszhuo personally, and it is impossible to sacrifice the interests of their own country for Silver Moon City.

The two of them also only bought enough water purification pearls for their own country through Taili, and then went straight back to Fukong Mountain, without saying anything good about Silvermoon City at Hill.

These giant dragons actually know very well what they can say and do, and what they can't.

The friendship between individuals cannot be confused with the power they belong to.

What Hill is doing now is just that he doesn't want Taili to lose his parents at such a young age, but it doesn't mean that he will care about the territory and alliance relationship of the Silver Moon Dragon Queen.

But all of this is like flowing water under the ice, and people standing on the shore can't see the undercurrent surging below at all.

No one wants to disturb the owner of the floating castle for these trivial matters.

After killing Barr head-on, Hill already has the right to reject all so-called goodwill.

In Toril, Hill finally learned one thing, even if he has good intentions in the world, he will never have the power to shock people.

In Trasil, he was well protected. There might be calculations around him, but there was absolutely no bullying.

Toril is completely different. The hostility and murderous intent he felt in the past two years is probably more than what he felt in the past few years of living.

Moreover, for the first time, he understood what inexplicable hostility is. People who have nothing to do with him will hate him from the bottom of their hearts to the point of killing him just because they look up at his floating castle.

The small town of Hill is still doing things as in the past, only the puppets and Tyr's paladins appear to patrol the streets, but few people dare to make loud noises anymore.

Including the family members of Silver Shield, they finally understood that even though these paladins behaved like the masters of the town, they were actually just guards.

Now these people not only obeyed all Lynn's instructions honestly, but also started to get along with the big residential area next door.

Although they would not disobey Lynn's government orders in the past, they always murmured behind their backs for a while, and they looked down on those who came later, completely treating them as nothing, and didn't say a word to them.

But after Hill killed Barr, their attitude changed immediately.

Although it was only a few short months, Hill's research on human nature during this period made him a rare and steady step forward on the road of warlock.

Hill always thought that his warlock career had reached its peak!It turns out that if we continue to dig out the blood and spirit, is there still room for improvement?
Sitting next to the oil painting of the artifact, he silently recalled the various forms of life he had seen recently:
Humanity and animality, longing and fear, hope and despair.

Sometimes they agree, sometimes they don't.

Sometimes, the front is still in fierce conflict, but the back suddenly merges together.

The faint moonlight at midnight shone on Hill's body, reflecting the silver light on the oil painting, and Hill's spiritual sea was shrouded in thin moonlight.

He could feel that the silver moon in his spiritual sea was much stronger. Illusion, charm type magic, charm field spells, and enchantment/charm spells, even if used by gods, would hardly affect him anymore.

Hill opened his eyes at dawn, and reached out to catch the first snowflake that fell, and winter came.

The weather is getting colder and colder, and the whole Northland has become silent.

However, the plague has not been resolved, and the Northlanders can only hide in the room and wait for the result.

It was a curse brought by the divine power of death, but it wasn't actually a disease, and Hill couldn't solve it.

Trassil is a newborn world, and the realm of death has not yet appeared.

Even after reading a lot of related books, Hill could only helplessly wait with the Toril people and continue to block his town

Probably can only wait until that or a few epic heroes appear.

Wait until he or they find the hidden Baal, fight bravely to the death, and rescue Toril from the crisis of the end of the world again in the hands of evil gods, and then return to their ordinary and extraordinary days, waiting for the next fate day.

Hill just doesn't understand why everyone is delaying time?
Whether it's the good faction who couldn't find Baal, or the evil faction who didn't make any more moves at all, it seemed that they all planned to hide in their nests. No one pursued the victory, and no one resisted bravely.

But this winter, the town of Aglaia is a bit more lively. There is no threat of plague from outsiders, and the whole town is very active. People in the Northland actually want to see the snow scene in extreme winter, but before that, there was only Silvermoon City. People, can be so lucky.

Hill quietly spent the winter of 1374, full of question marks and expectations.
