Surviving the Fourth Calamity

Chapter 1779 Layers of Fog in the Tower of Black Misty
Hilbert only gave Oliva a cold smile: "Are you... telling me? At this time, here?"

Although he didn't make it clear, everyone could understand what Gilbert was asking Oliva: Are you planning to use Root's face to suppress him in front of Archmage Root?

Root shook his head helplessly: Gilbert didn't understand what he said, just to give him the greatest face as a teacher.

And Oliva, who is at a loss when encountering troubles, really can't change it.

Of course he didn't really think that way, but because of his nature of not wanting to take responsibility, the things he did were no different.

The reason why Oliva's upper limit can only reach the current level is inseparable from his somewhat weak personality.

The outstanding talent can only get him to this point, the rest... the willpower and determination that even Kamanteta can't match, what hope is there?
Aislin's a bit wolf-hearted, cruel and ruthless nature, it would be great if Oliva could be given a little bit.

Of course, Root knows the flaws in Aislin's nature... Otherwise, look at those mages who are in love troubles, no matter men or women, how many of them will fight and lose repeatedly like Aislin?
One time is enough for them to be decadent for a long time.

Not to mention, those who betrayed Aislin will not end well... The final death may be a relief for them.

But Aislin pinned the only bit of kindness and humanity in her heart on him as a teacher.

This is a child who is sorry to the world and will not be sorry to Lute.

Therefore, no matter what happened to Root, he couldn't give up on this somewhat extreme apprentice who always caused trouble.

After all, he is not a good person, and he will not be swayed by whether others will suffer or not.

Of course, the most important thing is...

Root cut off his thoughts in an instant, and turned to look at Gilbert with a disdainful face: "Gilbert, are you going to help Oliva share some..."

"Ah~" Hilbert directly interrupted Root's threat, watching Oliva smile like a spring breeze: "The past is over, Mr. Oliva, just be careful in the future."

The people in the hall, regardless of their relationship with Gilbert, couldn't help laughing at this moment: the guy really hasn't changed at all.

His temper is indeed violent, but he really doesn't want to be nosy at all.

And in order not to be dragged into those troublesome things, Gilbert is always willing to take a step or two back...Of course, if it were someone else, he wouldn't take these two steps forward at all.

Oliva and Aislin faced Gilbert's helplessness and were at a loss, so they would not bring them in front of them.

Just like the same thing, Root will never say it to them so gently... It is a troublesome job for Gilbert, but a big piece of fat for them.

But at the same time, with Gilbert's strong control over the magic circle, there is really no need to waste time.

Selling two blueprints of the magic circle when resources are needed is the usual way this guy meets his daily needs.

For Gilbert, it was Root who wanted him to come out to do things, but he didn't want to... Isn't that the reason why that woman, Aislin, is always the most wary of Gilbert?
Although Lute's words, on the surface, he just hoped that Gilbert would give up the pursuit of Oliva... They actually knew the nature of their elder brother who said the wrong thing when he was in a hurry.

Therefore, Root's students are used to handling their own affairs. If they really had to, they went directly to Root instead of Oliva, who is supposed to be in charge of managing them.

Aislin never regarded him as a threat and it has something to do with his characteristic... It stands to reason that they should all have the best relationship with Oliva, the senior who managed them during the apprenticeship.

Oliva is really responsible for the younger brothers and sisters that Root entrusted to him to take care of: fair and just, resources will never be released one second later, let alone less.

However, for him like this, there are not many people who support him behind him... One can imagine how serious his indecision is.

All goodwill completely retreated in the matter of not counting on him at the most important moment.

-

After completing his social tasks, Hilbert fell silent again.

Of course, he doesn't really have that much dissatisfaction, but he must show his dissatisfaction and sense of existence, and, expressly hinting, he still doesn't intend to meddle in his own business in the future.

Root really wanted to drag him out to do something... Although that sentence looked like a threat, it was actually a thread that was thrown at him.

As long as he is willing to take over, he can instantly become the person in charge of the Root faction... Aislin will definitely be silent for a while.

Those jobs can indeed be done by people Aislin trusts, but they can be done by people trusted by Root.

Especially when Lute more or less understands the particularity of the Heinelsen family.

For a lucky person like Gilbert, once he fully integrates into his faction, it will definitely bring him a lot of benefits.

It's a pity that Hill doesn't intend to satisfy his little thoughts.

Fortunately, Root understands a little better... a person with strange luck like Gilbert cannot be forced.

Making him do things he doesn't want to do will only lead to the opposite of what Root wants to achieve.

Hill even suspected that the reason why Root allowed Aislin to offend him in practice and Oliva to stimulate him in words was because he wanted to arouse Gilbert's resistance.

As long as Gilbert can't tolerate those two guys standing on top of his head and acting wildly, then he will naturally accept the blue eyes that Root has been insisting on throwing down.

Heh~ Otherwise, Hill would never believe that a mage like Root would always be so gentle with a student with a strong personality and good temper.

Even for someone like Hill, he couldn't do it.

Although Hill's attitude is a bit unruly, but compared to the previous Gilbert, it can be described as gentle!
Gilbert, who has just become an official mage, because of the shock of the spiritual sea all the time, his temper, and his extreme personality...Look at the indifferent attitude of Oliva who was stunned by Hilbert, in fact, he can Got it, he didn't even feel too offended.

Hill hadn't intended to satirize Oliva.

But he suddenly felt something was wrong... He always felt that someone was watching him.

Not Root, then...Nicholson or Kamanteta?
Or even, the so-called Rommel?
Hilbert cheered up, used his brain, and outlined in his mind over and over again what Gilbert would look like when he recovered, and then he opened his mouth a few times suddenly when necessary.

Now, he's done his act.

Silently feeling the sight that had been removed from him, Hilbert forced himself to lean on the chair, crossed his legs, and seemed to be casually listening to what Lute told Oliva.

Except for him, who was being paid attention to because of the so-called spirit pacifier, all those attentions seemed to be focused on Aislin.

The woman was not very happy, listening to the task that Lute gave to Oliva, she sometimes gritted her teeth, and sometimes sneered with disdain... I guess she felt that Oliva would definitely not be able to do it, and she had to deal with it in the end .

Oliva is actually a bit inexplicable.

If you ask him to do serious things, he will do well, but if it is related to people, especially when the people inside have something to do with him, he will not know what to do.

It's not that Hill doesn't know that such people exist...but in the world of mages, such people are too rare.

Of course, it may also be that in the previous worlds, mages like this all ended up living in seclusion and had no contact with people at all.

What Hill is a little curious now is why Root's only two usable students have this personality.

This is not normal.

You know, Lute is the real main tower leader of the Tower of Black Misty. Even if his first apprentice is not the successor, he must be a person with brains and wrists, right?

Or Lute's real big disciple is not here... Although Hill thinks this is unlikely, the secrets that have been emerging in the Tower of Black Misty these days make him not so sure.

Or, there is something wrong with Root himself.

Or, Lute, was he the heir to the main tower of the Mist of Night from the very beginning?
From Lute's style of doing things, how does Hill feel that he is more in line with the dark mystery occupied by Kamante Tower?

It was Nicholson, whose bewildering demeanor suited Misty Moon quite well.
