Surviving the Fourth Calamity

Chapter 1757 Sad Carpenter
Hill, who was crouching on the ground, was really satisfied.

Russell, except for his lack of aptitude, everything else is perfect.

But when he thought about it in reverse, in fact, with his luck, this kid would never be worse than Adrian!

That is, his birth embodies the preferences of this world... Although it may not seem like much to outsiders, it is already the last bit of toothpaste squeezed out by the will of the world.

Although poor, it is indeed rare.

In a way, Russell was really lucky and unlucky.

Fortunately, he does have luck, and it can even be said that if the world is freed from the hands of the devil under various factors, then he can even take the opportunity to become a god.

Unfortunately, although there may be presences from various forces here, this world must be occupied by Styx when no one else intends to fight for it.

Not to mention the position of the Lord of the World, even the position of his deputy has been finalized... The will of the world is always different.

Gilbert was the one older than Russell.

Once he came to the fore, the will of the world would quickly pin all his last bit of luck on him.

Russell, can only be the one who has good luck, but is never the best.

But if he doesn't intend to take the path of gods, but just wants to be a mage, he... is still lucky and unlucky.

Fortunately, as long as he is determined and Gilbert exists, he will not be forced by the world to change his position.

Unfortunately, he must repay all the benefits the world has given him before leaving the world to pursue his own path as a mage.

In fact, this difference can be seen from the great mages of Toril.

Elminster's talent is unbelievably good, even the goddess of magic is amazed... But he really participated in too much Toril's fate in the early stage, so, in the later stage, even though he always showed He has gray hair, is getting old, and just wants to live in seclusion, but fate still sends those messy plots to him.

He tossed and tossed carefully for so long, and it wasn't until after midnight that the goddess of magic was replaced that he had the opportunity to go to the star realm to build his Elminster planet.

This time around Edna's incident, the old Elminster who was squatting in the astral world was probably most worried that he would be dragged back to Toril by the magic net.

Although he is the first elector of the goddess of magic, he still has the coordinates of the magic net, and he also has the duty to help stabilize the magic net.

Hill was surprised at the time that he wasn't brought back... But obviously, although Midnight was very tired of Azuth's virtue of always wanting to be her father, she still put her trust in the mage god.

That's why Azus was able to directly take on the responsibility of suppressing the Demon Net riot when something happened to her.

And Midnight, who was more worried about the safety of the world, really threw out a lot of coordinates of the magic net to those loyal believers of the magic net. , If you have anything to do, you have to go to the major voters.

Therefore, this is also the reason why the Seven Northern Sisters didn't complain much even though they were left out by the goddess of magic.

It's true that their importance in the magic net system has decreased, but they don't need to bear the heavy responsibilities like when their mother was there, at least they won't have to work hard at every turn.

To be honest, Elminster has been able to live so comfortably in the past hundred years. It is really fortunate that Midnight is a good person with clear grievances, a stubborn personality, and a little bit of emotional cleanliness... If it were the predecessor, Mystra, the black pupil, How could it be possible to let him escape like that?

How many ways must be devised to drag Elminster into her enchanted web!

Russell's prospect is actually similar to that of Elminster.

It's not that he can't escape, but as long as he can keep repaying his debts and doesn't get involved in those fates because of selfish distractions later, he can become a mage with some freedom.

Anyway, no one can completely break away from their own world, as long as they maintain their connection with the world within an appropriate limit.

There is no way, if a mage wants to go further on the path of a mage, he must reduce the complicated threads of fate wrapped around his body.

So does Hill.

But his luck is that although he and Trasil are inseparable no matter where they go, Trasil's thread of fate will not take the initiative to entangle him.

Therefore, he doesn't need to think about the cause and effect with his own world at all... The better Trasil is, the better he is.

As he walks outside, every merit he contributes will be given back to his world.

Unless Hill suddenly chooses to become the god of a certain world one day, no existence can take away his luck and merit from Tra Hill.

However, it is also because of his clear understanding of this aspect that Hill has been reluctant to accept students.

There's no way, the people he can see are basically not ordinary people.

Talent is really a sudden kiss from the world. If you have a little bit of luck, then... the dense causal lines on your body are inevitable.

Hill very much disliked giving himself trouble.

Even if there are some people who can make him look at him with appreciation and nostalgia, but... these two glances are enough for him to turn around and leave with all his heart.

But Russell was different.

How should I put it... As long as he sticks to the mage's path, he can get out of this pile of troubles very easily.

Although it will take a lot of time for him to slowly unlock with this world, this world that is about to change masters will not continue to entangle with him at all.

Just like Elminster... If he lives in seclusion for a period of time and reduces his chances of contacting new humans, he will really be just Archmage Elminster.

Hill was really tempted this time.

He blinked his eyes and began to think seriously... He has helped Styx so much, and according to the usual style of these original will-like existences, Styx will definitely find a way to repay him.

Then, can he...

-

Russell sighed, looking at Carpenter's imposing back, he could only seriously ask: "Carpenter, don't overcorrect.

Illusion is still your basic, don't forget it. "

"Don't worry ~ Brother Russell." Carpenter raised his hand, "I will take it easy and watch Felice's promotion with you!"

This time, Carpenter did not boast.

She was actually ashamed.

Obviously Teacher Gilbert had warned her before, but she still made this mistake!
Carpenter knew in her heart that there was only one reason she had come this far: her vanity, which she couldn't let go.

For her, illusion is simply a life-saving straw.

Let Carpenter know that she also has good talents, not the unlucky ghost who can only be used for marriage.

The encounters in those years and the various emotions that have been suppressed made Carpenter full of grievances and dissatisfaction.

So, on the day she knew that she could become an official mage, she couldn't help but fell into ecstasy.

Even if she tried to control it, Carpenter couldn't suppress the urge to impress those who had looked down on her in the past.

She really couldn't be as calm as Russell.

Carpenter, who wanted to understand her own mental journey, felt ashamed in her heart... But after she understood this, she was finally able to stop taking illusions too seriously.

It's not that she can't learn other spells, but she is always distracted.

Otherwise, how could she have learned dancing lights so easily!

Teacher Gilbert actually reminded her several times.

It's a pity that she is, controlled by vanity.

No wonder, later the teacher just asked Russell to teach her, probably because she felt that she had fallen into a meaningless vortex, and it was not worth what he said at all.

Carpenter silently pushed open the door and walked into his room, tears suddenly appeared in his eyes: So, this time, did she lose the last chance because of her own stupidity?
