Surviving The Fourth Calamity

Kamente Tower secretly glanced at Rommel.

To speak such profound words in such a plain tone... This formidable person, one can only wonder what they’ve been through.

However, from his cautious yet unafraid attitude towards the Sia Tower, Kamente Tower felt he needn’t worry about being casually thrown out to draw enemy attention.

Not having to betray his heart, and not having to struggle between life and death, Kamente Tower actually lived quite freely.

He stood up and looked at the scenery outside: "Nicholson and the others have really cleared this road too clean.

I still have some things unresolved!"

"That Prutt?" Rommel, deep in thought, raised his head in surprise, "Why haven’t you dealt with him yet?"

"Didn’t you always say, to be thorough when doing things." Kamente Tower replied with a grin, "If you can complete two tasks at once, just have a little patience.

The group I brought along, not all of them really want to enter the Sia Tower."

He spread his hands, looking innocent: "If the intelligence from Ruth isn’t comprehensive... After all, that guy manages his domain very tightly, it’s hard for unexpected people to appear.

Then the intelligence from Nicholson is very clear... Among his large team, there are quite a few unusual people mixed in.

Tsk tsk, the Sia Tower really has skills, to be able to point out each of these individuals!

That, here with me, there’s even less to mention."

His expression was somewhat complex: If at first, Kamente Tower let those individuals into his territory to give trouble to the Tower of Dark Enigma,

then later, it was to avoid making Rommel’s presence too conspicuous.

If people noticed he only took in a foreign noble descendant, Rommel would draw attention, then... admitting potentially unidentified bandit origin folks he dragged in just proved Kamente Tower as a troublemaker.

Clearly, it was a ploy against the Tower of Dark Enigma.

His identity naturally allowed him to do such things.

Especially as every time he schemed, it was after open and secret conflicts with Ruth and the others... Of course, this also proved that he had always been losing.

Except for that incident with the Stellar Realm visitor, he unexpectedly won once... But now, Kamente Tower couldn’t even be sure if he won because Ruth originally intended to lose.

In any case, from between Rommel’s lines, he understood one thing: Ruth absolutely had a plan regarding entering the Sia Tower.

But what could Kamente Tower do?

Other than playing dumb.

The one time he played dumb, he won.

When he was clear-headed, all he did was lose again and again, losing endlessly.

Might as well let the issue pass... In that case, he felt rather good instead, at least he got Rommel and regained his sanity and soul.

So, in Kamente Tower’s group, at least one-fifth of them dared not step into the Sia Tower.

They simply couldn’t pass the identity verification phase.

Rommel’s identity was planned by Kamente Tower himself, so he knew for sure there would be no problem.

This was also one of the benefits given by Sia Tower... In order to infiltrate their direct subordinates into the Tower of Dark Enigma, Sia Tower provided numerous special identities.

The major Magic Towers aren’t fools, they conduct very thorough investigations into such direct apprentice identities.

To pass their checks, not only must these identities be real and valid, but the pasts of those children must also be entirely erased.

And those pretending children, the majority were raised by the mages of Sia Tower from a young age, though a few were insiders of these puppet mages.

For example, when Kamente Tower brought a few students into the Tower of Dark Enigma back in the day, he surely kept part of them outside to work and relay information.

If in those people’s descendants, there were children with exceptional magical talents, they would be assigned an identity and sent to Kamente Tower’s side.

Sia Tower had always shown great trust in people like them... definitely wouldn’t ask them to send these children to the Sia Tower as hostages.

Before realizing they were controlled and turned into puppets, Kamente Tower, like the other fools, felt a great trust and gratitude towards Sia Tower.

Whenever Kamente Tower thought of these matters, it made him furious.

Really, what lacking of virtue beings... Doing evil he could understand, but being insidiously evil to this extent is just disgusting.

However, for the Kamente Tower who found himself again, this matter was actually quite good.

Although Kamente Tower didn’t dare to make too many moves, arranging for a Rommel wasn’t a problem.

From any angle, Rommel was a real existing identity.

Not to mention, he’s now a Seventh Circle Mage, a powerful one able to battle an Eighth Ring Mage, a stronger soul power is normal.

Kamente Tower somewhat understood that identity detection array... It could only judge the soul wave, but couldn’t detect the soul strength.

Of course, there must be better, stronger methods, but... not at the entrance, and not for a general search within the Tower of Dark Enigma.

Mages, which of them don’t have a trick or two hidden?

Some things can be done in the dark, but absolutely can’t be out in the open.

Kamente Tower believes in Rommel’s methods... For such formidable characters, secret spying is definitely useless.

But those who merely impersonate others will absolutely fail the soul detection of Sia Tower.

So, he has been waiting for those people to stir and flee.

Actually, at first, Kamente Tower thought these guys would all stay in the Tower of Dark Enigma.

But for some reason, they preferred to follow him to the vicinity of Sia Tower.

Do they want to become bandits here... Have they gone mad?

After all, Kamente Tower is a veteran, having experienced countless bloody battles, he is well aware that what these people desire most now is to reap a huge profit from his team.

Although Kamente Tower’s men have their own thoughts and trust in their capabilities, they nevertheless bring their families along.

Even when they are ruthless, they will not hesitate when the time comes to act viciously, despite the risk to their families in enemy hands, but... they can’t withstand those bandits who are gambling with their lives.

However, Kamente Tower couldn’t be bothered with these troubles; his subordinates would not lose their lives because of it, at most some basic materials would be lost, and if he could settle Prutt during the chaos, it would suffice.

That guy is sure to be the primary target of concentrated attacks.

Hehe~ Otherwise, why has he been patient until today? Just subtly hinting to others about how much Prutt has earned over the years.

Kamente Tower would absolutely not attack Prutt himself, after all, he couldn’t even confirm whether the numerous Soul Elixirs Prutt has obtained later on were given to him by the mastermind to sell after knowing Prutt had no way out.

Furthermore, if Prutt intends to free himself from Kamente Tower, he must present significant benefits to persuade the other party to suppress Kamente Tower.

Just like that Aislin... Does Ruth really want that woman to continue by his side?

Of course, the puppet master behind Prutt certainly does not hold a position as significant as Rosero... That person appearing almost represents the will of the Master of Sia Tower.

But, his position is undoubtedly not low either.

The Soul Elixir, if it can be produced, is definitely not one person’s will, it must be a decision of Sia Tower.

Moreover, the young mage who tempts Prutt, young and beautiful, likes wearing white, it’s obvious who she belongs to just by hearing.

Prutt’s life isn’t important, yet the treasures in his hands surely have a destination long decided.

Rommel glanced at Kamente Tower, whose expression was strange, not knowing what he was thinking: though he has sufficient confidence to hide himself even without the methods of Kamente Tower,

Kamente Tower willingly provides a better path, he is quite satisfied.

No wonder this guy was turned into a puppet, someone who keeps their promise and has high principles is very capable of seeing through the devil’s little tricks.

Rommel never thought that one day he would feel such people were quite decent.

Sigh~

Or perhaps, Kamente Tower reminded him of the past.

If those children, when they walked among the starry skies, encountered someone willing to extend a helping hand... How wonderful would that be!

Rommel doesn’t truly intend to do good; it’s just, after realizing what his once-proud disciple had gone through, he indeed felt a bit shaken.

Although Fran had a smooth journey and Teraxil had already completely recovered, catching the devils off guard, has some connection.

But, he has sailed too smoothly.

Rommel glanced out of the window: "If you’re waiting for the moment they will strike, I reckon it’s today or tomorrow.

Pay more attention when walking at night.

Look after your own people."

Kamente Tower slowly nodded: Although this powerful figure somewhat looks down on him, he still finds great reason to trust him because of his attentiveness to his own people.

Kamente Tower can clearly see and understand that as long as he stays honestly behind Rommel, he estimates he can make it to the end.

Unless Rommel loses.

If that happens, he originally wouldn’t have any path to survive anyway.

"Mage Gilbert, may I come to visit?

I have brought a message from Archmage Ruth."

Having finally repaired his Magic Tower, Hill unexpectedly welcomed his first visitor, a quite beautiful young lady.

The girl welcomed into the Magic Tower by Carpenter, despite wearing a simply styled pale-purple robe and no makeup on her face, does not seem inferior even when standing beside the meticulously dressed, jewel-adorned Carpenter.

She even possesses a natural grace and beauty... although she strives to appear capable, she still evokes a certain delicacy.

"Mage Gilbert, good day, thank you for receiving me," the girl elegantly saluted and spoke openly, "I am Laisa, a student of Mage Rohas.

Currently responsible for transmitting messages for Archmage Ruth."

Hill nodded: "Go ahead."
