Surviving the Fourth Calamity

Chapter 1785 The Tower of Xiya is approaching every step of the way
Even though all the tasks were completed according to the requirements of 'Gilbert', Russell and Carpenter still didn't understand why the time suddenly became so rushed.

They didn't even have time to go home.

Even though there are many unavoidable things and many precautions, the family of Russell and Carpenter is considered perfect in this world... In addition to satisfying their own interests, they can also spend part of their energy and affection on their children Parents, only a family like Heinelsen can exist.

It wasn't that Russell and Carpenter didn't want to go back to meet their families after becoming official mages, but who made the Tower of Black Mistake so chaotic during that time!

When even Gilbert avoided it, it was even more impossible for the two of them to take the initiative to contact the family.

This world is so cruel. When you can't decide the situation, the more you care, the more harm you will bring.

Human beings always know how to harm their own kind best.

Felice was a lesson for them... They didn't want to be like Felice's mother, who had to give up her son in order to protect herself, without even the slightest effort.

Although if they really fought with those people, they might not be powerless... Especially Gilbert who stood behind them, whose position in the Tower of Black Mystery did not depend entirely on Lute's care.

But, there is no need for that.

Neither Carpenter nor Russell is the kind of person who would get carried away just because they got a little power. Even if this is not comfortable, but... being able to recognize reality is also an advantage.

Even if they can win in the end, then... the things that will be lost in the middle, even the lives of people they care about, aren't they sacrifices?

Although the two of them were young and energetic, it was not without impulsive desires in their hearts, but what happened to Felice who grew up together made them make a conscious choice.

After that, it was the shock that Russell's unlucky uncles brought to them... Really, even Carpenter couldn't understand what kind of self-aggrandizement made those people in Russell... Such a stupid decision without showing your face.

Although Ulrich did spare the lives of those people for Russell's sake, but... what about Russell's face?
Moreover, if the first time is let go, the second time may not be fine.

But, unfortunately, the person who was let go the first time always wants to try the second time.

Even Carpenter can think of this, how could Russell not know?

Therefore, even though Gilbert had officially come forward and even brought Ulrich to choose a satisfactory family residence, Russell didn't go back to take a look.

Carpenter was even more afraid to go back... She didn't want to lie to her family, but she also didn't want to answer the questions they would inevitably ask about Felice.

It's not that she has never told a lie, but if she speaks, it can only be a lie, so why bother to speak.

Of course, Carpenter also felt that his behavior was a bit weak. If it was Russell, his family would not dare to ask if he didn't want to say it... Although he dared to do harm behind his back, he was quite honest in person of.

However, Carpenter is very clear that he and Russell are different.

Even if she is already a mage, the deep impression brought about by pretending to be cute in those years is hard to change.

Even the parents who knew her so well probably couldn't change their attitude towards her in a short time.

No way, Russell's talent has always been very good. Everyone knows that his worst result is to become the strongest mage apprentice just like Ulrich.

That is to say, the kind of person who can use some other means to have the same lethality as a junior mage in a short period of time.

Therefore, when the members of the Hynarson family looked at Russell, they always looked at the future elders of the family.

And she, Carpenter, had to do her best not to be easily sent out for marriage... Even if she had to marry, she had to be a normal person anyway.

Her acting skills are indeed very good, and most people think that marrying her may cause trouble... But correspondingly, many people think that even if she has become a mage now, she is still easy to fool Carpenter.

As long as she speaks a little obediently and compliments well, she will naturally say what she shouldn't say.

Thinking of the various characters that would inevitably come like a wave, Carpenter felt that he could still wait.

They both had their own reasons, but they really didn't expect that they would not be able to go back.

Yes, both Russell and Carpenter understood that now, it was even more impossible for them to return to the family.

In their absence, Ulrich can arrange the living distribution of the future mansion according to his rules.

But if they go back...Russell's uncle who made a mistake, and Carpenter's family with complicated relationships, they will all be swarming.

However, Carpenter and Russell knew very well that Ulrich had asked Gilbert for instructions on this matter and obtained permission... Their teacher had prepared the magic circle map of the mansion.

But the matter of the magic circle is even more troublesome if you talk about it.

Others... In the eyes of many people, as Gilbert's students, their status in Gilbert's eyes must be better than Ulrich, who is just a nephew and a junior mage all his life.

If time permits, it's not impossible for them to solve these things... However, the time given by the Tower of Xiya is so little.

The mages of the outer ring were afraid that the tower of black fans would abandon them and go on their own, and even riots had already occurred.

Moreover, there are also some rumors outside: the potion bought from the Tower of Sia is too effective, and will create a large number of pseudo-high-level mages in a short period of time, and the Tower of Sia is not willing to accept that these abilities are not enough. The sorcerers who relied on medicine suddenly called for the tower of black fans ahead of schedule.

As soon as this rumor came out, the three tower masters of the Tower of Black Misty directly stood up and expressed their denial, and directly stated that the soul potion would change people's personality... This is not just about becoming cruel and ruthless. It is clear that it is to deny all of the past self... Everyone is a mage, and what they have learned since childhood makes it impossible for them not to understand the danger of this kind.

Even if the question of the soul is not mentioned, if you become no longer your original self, then you are still not your true self. Of course, mages will discuss this kind of philosophical issue from the bottom of their hearts.

But the ambiguous attitude of the Tower of Sia makes it impossible for the Tower of Black Misty to promise these outer ring mages anything related to the future... If the Tower of Sia does not allow mages above the middle level to enter the inner ring, They learned the unique spells of the Tower of Sia, and the three tower owners of the Tower of Black Misty had no solution.

Therefore, no matter what decisions the outer ring mages make, the tower owners can only watch.

Before, the little time and leeway that Felice bought for the Tower of the Black Obsession collapsed instantly under such circumstances.

Especially among the members of the two factions of Nicholson and Kamanteta, many people started to play the game of planning for a rainy day.

In case the Tower of Sia also has requirements for their level and ability, then they are not unable to take a risk.

Although they understand the danger of this matter better than the outer ring mages... people are inherently selfish.

What if he was just a little bit worse?
It's not that everyone can't resist the damage of this soul potion... just take a little less, isn't it all right?

Who can become an intermediate mage without confidence in the strength of his soul?

Hilbert looked at the chaotic scene outside a little confused: "What Felice won was only his own time.

Not from the Tower of the Black Mystery. "

"teacher?"

"The Tower of Black Misty has been infiltrated too much." Hilbert shook his head, "That thing that was discovered in advance is nothing in the face of the tightened time!"

"Then, what do we do?"

"Mages always take care of each other. Knowing this in advance is enough for those who are truly sober." Hilbert patted the crystal window in front of him, "As for those who can't figure it out …Sooner or later, he will die of luck.

We just have to mind our own business.

Have you packed your things? "

"Yes, teacher, everything is packed."

Carpenter hesitated for a few minutes before asking: "Teacher, the standard rune magic books I copied from the big library, can they stay on the shelf?"

Did she want to keep it for Felice?
This is nothing, it was corrected by herself according to the standard rune, and it has nothing to do with Hill herself.

Hilbert said indifferently: "You sorted it out yourself, of course you can dispose of it casually."

Carpenter nodded: "I will check it carefully, thank you teacher."

Of course Carpenter knew that Gilbert probably wouldn't care about these little things, and wouldn't even care if she left some marginal magic books on purpose...but she couldn't break the rules.

During this time, she thought a lot.

The style of stepping on the bottom line that she used to rely on for survival has become a taboo in the magic tower.

From now on, she must strictly demand herself and restrain herself, so that she can go smoothly in the future... instead of trying to rely on cleverness to get around when encountering a problem.
