Surviving The Fourth Natural Disaster

0005: ADRIAN'S ARRIVAL

Hill decided to sweep the entire valley tomorrow, drive out the threatening monsters, and then block the valley with a stone wall to seal the entire valley.

Liszt appeared and stood at the entrance of the tower and said to him: "Master, the elevator has been built. The kitchen and warehouse on the first floor have also been built. Please put the alchemy room on the fifth floor. In addition, please put some materials and magic stones. Well, I need to use them to make some utensils."

Hill walked in, and Bonn was arranging in the warehouse: "Lord Baron, I have arranged the kitchen. Mom has already brought someone to cook."

 Hill asked hesitantly: "I just bring it out?"

Bonn gave him a funny look: "I will discuss with Liszt how to put it away, and Puppet will not let me waste my strength."

Hill touched his nose and brought everything away to the 5th floor. Liszt made two elevators, and Hill pressed number 5 happily. Although he knew Liszt was in control of everything, he was still very happy.

Liszt was already waiting there with a few alchemy puppets walking out of the elevator. The whole floor was divided into two parts: one was several alchemy laboratories, and the other was an alchemy workshop. Hill took out all his mother's alchemy tools and materials and handed them to Liszt.

 In fact, science and magic were the same in the end, and it was the pursuit of high-ranking people to save worry and effort. Assembly-line factories used alchemy golems as widespread workers in the world of high mages.

The mage was also a lonely profession. In addition to the low-level wizards who want to save money, they will recruit many cheap wizard apprentices. The real Archmage will only accept a few apprentices with high qualifications. In the mage world, the simplest problem could be solved with money. After all, people with brains and abilities would not be poor wherever they go. But before the Legendary level, it was normal to make money by taking apprentices. So although a mage was a lucrative profession, you had to burn money if you wanted to be stronger.

Hill always felt that his life was still very good, and the shortness of kinship was not a pain for a transmigrator. In this medieval fantasy world of slavery, it was enough for him to live so happily.

 Hill turned to the top floor to look at the scenery. According to Hill's thoughts, three floor-to-ceiling windows with a length of 10 meters were set aside on this floor. Hill stood before the window, looked at the scenery outside, and his heart gradually settled down.

 From now on, this was his home.

From autumn to spring, Hill's magic tower had been built.

 Hill's territory had also taken shape. The earth elements separated the three mountains' outer sides into smooth cliffs and built three city gates at the mouth of the valley. There were more than 20 water elements in the river, rushing back and forth along the river every day. Although most of the wood elements would only stay in the forest, few of them still responded to Hill's call and had turned the few thousand-year-old giant trees in the valley into Treemen.

A large botanical garden of several thousand square meters had been built around the magic tower, and wood elements lived in it. With the help of Treeman and alchemy puppets, Locke ordered some male servants farms several hundred acres of wheat seedlings outside the botanical garden. As for the rest,  Bonn led people to catch pheasants, ducks, and a flock of sheep to domesticated. The six male servants lived on the farms. Lina specially selected these servants. They were honest and hardworking, obedient and brainless. Fortunately, a mage master was enough to deter them, and Hill provided them with tall houses built of stone, and he also allowed them to ask for maids.

This was a dream life for them. They work hard every day for fear of being sold by their masters again. Two of the six maids were stupid and were sent out to cook and clean the farm. The remaining two were cooks, and the others cleaned and washed clothes.

Hill handed over most of the chores around to Liszt. Bonn's aptitude was very ordinary. To become a mage, he had to work hard. He copied spellbooks every day.

Bonn's younger siblings, unlike Bonn, were utterly unqualified to become apprentice mages. Hill also had the knight's training method in his hand, so he gave it to Lina. Their future can only be determined by themselves. If they couldn't become professionals, they could only succeed their parents as a butler and a maid.

Long after, Hill was immersed in cultivation every day and hardly ever left the magic tower. Now that spring was blooming, and it was a new year, Hill thought that Frank should already know where he was going. So he planned to fly directly to the border city to see if anyone was coming. By the way, he had to see if the Salar empire recently had some significant events.

A distance of 500 kilometres could be reached in 4 hours with flying spells. Hill felt that flying was wonderful, and the speed was fast enough, but unfortunately, the skill was too difficult and could only be used by himself. The space in this world was very stable. There were no such things as portals and teleportation circles. The alchemy circle can be used to transmit some messages. However, it was the limit, and it could only be point-to-point. If you wanted to connect with each other, you had to rely on people to pass it on.

Hill didn't know how huge the world was, not even whether the planet was round or not. The starry sky was beautiful, but the brightest stars here were the reflections of the gods. The unstable elements in the air made it impossible for the world to have a telegraph and television. Everything could only be solved by magic and divine power. As a result, ordinary people might not know the outside world all their lives, and their lives were handed over to lords and gods.

So Hill just wanted to live in seclusion. No normal modern person could live peacefully in a medieval fantasy society. Here, ordinary people without power could only be real lambs. If you didn't want to break through your moral bottom line and didn't want to enter the temple, all you could do was have less contact with people.

As expected, Frank sent someone to wait for him, and as soon as Hill landed, he was stopped by Frank's disciple Adrian. Nevertheless, Hill was very happy to see him: "Uncle Adrian, long time no see!"

Adrian was the fifth disciple of Frank, who used to be responsible for helping Melanie and Frank to deliver items. When Melanie died, Frank also let him deal with the funeral. Unfortunately, several of Frank's other disciples had already left, and he kept Adrian by his side, which meant that Frank would no longer accept disciples, and only Adrian would be his heir.

Adrian was grateful for the Teacher and was nice to Melanie and Hill. He was a man with brilliant tactics and a calm personality, and Hill had a good relationship with him. Adrian was also the second son of a noble family. Every time he came to see Hill, he would teach him and bring him some of the latest knowledge books in the capital.

Melanie was addicted to alchemy, so he persuaded her to care about her children. It was a pity that it was useless. If Melanie had been obedient, Frank wouldn't have lost the heir, and it would be cheaper for Adrian.

Melanie's attitude towards Adrian was not very good. After the count tempted her to give up following her father's footsteps, Frank accepted Adrian as a close disciple.

She knew that it was the result of her condition and that Frank suddenly drove out several other disciples and took in Adrian, representing her stupidity. But she still disliked Adrian.

 Even so, Adrian taught Hill responsibly and never thought of something terrible about Hill. In any case, he was considered a good person.

 "Long time no see, little Hill!" Adrian said with a smile: "Take me to your magic tower!"

 Hill was stunned for a moment. Are there some things that could only be said in the magic tower? : "Of course, Uncle Adrian. It's not very far."

 "Let's hurry up! It's getting late!" Adrian grabbed Hill and flew directly.

 Hill was amazed! He could only be curious and then guide the way.

Adrian was already an archmage, and his speed was much faster than Hill's. He arrived at Hill's territory in 2 hours. He was also happy when he flew high in the sky and looked at this triangular valley. If a magic circle was carved on this straight cliff, it might be more reliable than the Great Wall.

When he landed in the garden next to the magic tower and saw the wood elements flying around a few treeman hanging around, Adrian was even happier: "Teacher's magic tower doesn't have wood element spirits! Don't worry about yours now. The territory is being watched by the beast tide!"

Hill looked at Adrian with a headache and quickly pulled him into the tower and returned to the top floor. Bonn was ready with dinner and waiting here.

Adrian looked at Hill and said, "It seems that it's not just me who has a lot of things to talk about!"

 Hill said slowly, "Let's have a good meal first! There are many things, but not in a hurry.

 "Well, little Hill, you can organize your language slowly."

After dinner, the two came to Hill's small study, and Bonn poured tea for them. Adrian pulled out the appearance of a long talk and sat on the sofa with a relaxed smile.

 "Uncle Adrian, I'm a warlock!"

 "Huh?" Adrian almost jumped up.

 "Yes, with the bloodlines of earth bear. Also, I have an earth, water, and wood system!"

After a while of silence, Adrian was speechless and said: "There has always been a rumour that the earth bear likes Druids very much. Teacher Frank's family has always been of human blood and has never been a warlock. But your grandmother's family seems to have elf blood."

Frank was born into a small noble family, but his talent was very good. He became a mage at a very young age. To avoid trouble, he travelled around for a while. An extra Melanie resulted from a romantic encounter with a woman who threw the baby at him, patted her ass, and walked away.

Frank had no choice but to return to Salar and become a court mage. Many people think that he would become an archmage, legendary was also possible. The court mages must train some noble apprentice mages for the royal family, and Frank also accepted a few arranged disciples.

Although there were occasional fights between these disciples, Frank didn't care. After all, a mage can live for 300 years, and an archmage can live for 800 years. These disciples were just transitional items, and he could wait until a satisfied disciple. But Melanie grew up with good aptitude, intelligent and beautiful, and became the centre of the disciples' struggle.

This battle involved a lot of court nobles, and the final result was that the Earl of Perast, who was in a row, was cheap. After discovering that his negligence had turned Melanie into a silly woman who yearned for love, Frank drove all the disciples away and no longer accepted disciples after accepting Adrian.

Hill quickly closed the little wings of imagination: "Forget it, that's it! We'll talk about the future!"

Adrian also didn't want to speak anymore, and Bonn quickly left the room.
