Surviving the Fourth Calamity

Hilbert didn't feel any resentment for Root's decision.

He is actually a very sober person, but occasionally he likes to lie to himself.

Therefore, he knew that he was not qualified to complain for Gilbert that others did not take Gilbert too seriously.

To put it worse, Gilbert himself couldn't even complain about it.

In this world, if someone is willing to save his life while doing various calculations, Gilbert can't blame anyone other than accepting his fate.

No, he can only complain that he is not strong enough, so that he can only become the pawn crossing the river on the chessboard... Although these pawns have been cast with protection spells and will not break if eaten, they can only wait In the base camp, I stared blankly at the scenery of others.

Anyway, Gilbert can see these things now in the Styx, and he himself will weigh how to deal with the future relationship with the Tower of the Black Misty, especially Root.

Root and the others did this, but it was good for Hilbert, no, it should be said, it was very good for Russell in the future.

Harmony and warmth based on interests are easier to deal with than genuine affection and righteousness.

If most of the good intentions of the Tower of Black Mystery towards the Hynarson family are based on the word 'use', Russell's independent life in the future will be much easier.

There is a huge gap between limited help and having to do everything possible.

As for Hilbert himself, there was no need to react to this matter... He had always had the feeling that Root was a very contradictory person.

Root, his feelings for Oliva, Aislin, and even Gilbert are true, as long as it doesn't have anything to do with his so-called 'big plan', he is really tender and willing to tolerate all the little things of students like them fault.

But when he needs to put the life and death of these lovers in his plan, he will definitely not be unable to do so.

However, Root is obviously someone who even counts his own life and death.

He didn't want to die, but he wasn't afraid of death either. As a last resort, he would even bring most of the people to die together like the group in the Tower of Defense.

The mages in this world are probably because their souls have been calculated to the point where they have nowhere to go, so they do things in a way, which makes Hill unable to understand the all-in-one gamble.

Of course, it may also be because they know that it is also impossible to escape from this world.

Between being completely depraved or losing their souls... it is not too difficult to understand why these fierce-tempered archmages choose to die together with their enemies.

Hilbert sometimes thinks about it from heart to heart, and if it were him, he would probably do the same.

Of course he still has to live if he can live, but if it really comes to the moment when he has to choose, he would rather die than turn himself into a devil.

So even if he found out that Root and the others used Gilbert Heinelsen as a pawn as a tentative communication with Drifus, he just smiled noncommittally.

But this also confirmed Hill's suspicion: Nicholson was hiding very deep.

Yes, between them, it is Lute who decides, but it is very likely that this looks like but very unqualified prophecy mage is the one who points the way.

He should be one of the people Aislin mentioned occasionally who shouldn't be trusted.

Hilbert actually knows a little bit about the method used by the prophecy mage to distinguish the difference between the reality and the peeped future...that is, to cut out part of his soul and put it in a powerful strange place that is enough for him to maintain a calm mind. In the things.

Moreover, when he may wander in the long river of fate and cannot find his way home, this strange object can also guide him back to his homeland.

The prophecy mage is also the one who likes to leave descendants the most... The blood connection allows their souls who always run away from home to find their own home.

Nicholson is probably the type who does both, and Hill, I originally thought he was just the second type.

If you are separated from your own soul for a long time, it will also turn the prophecy mage into a real lunatic.

But just keeping this powerful strange object with a part of his soul around him, the prophecy mage will only become more and more indifferent... They like this, after all, only when they are indifferent to the outside world can they see more clearly Fate will not make wrong judgments because of being misled by those emotions.

So in many fairy tales in the fantasy world, if there is an old wizard who looks crazy but is actually indifferent and seems to know everything, someone will steal his crystal ball.

Once this thing is lost, he or she will become crazy, even crazy to self-destruct.

These kinds of stories are basically born out of divination mages... losing the strange thing that hides their souls, they will self-destruct sooner or later.

The reason why Nicholson didn't look so obvious was that he didn't attract the attention of the Tower of Seattle, so even if he cut off part of his soul, the strange thing that hid this part of the soul should also be hidden in his body. spiritual sea.

It is estimated that Nicholson will use this strange object as a compass in an absolutely safe environment only if he needs to make some important predictions.

The devils can't understand the practice of the prophetic mage.

It's not like Hill, whose inheritance can span almost the entire history of the multiverse... He can't even figure out whether the knowledge related to the prophecy mage came from Corellon or the other side.

Most people only know that in order to make their predictions more accurate, the prophecy mage will store up part of his soul.

As for why, few will know.

Devils are very sensitive to souls, but they don't know the reason that only prophetic mages know.

Therefore, at best, they can feel that divination mages are basically a bit soul-defective... This is also one of the most basic methods for judging specialized divination mages.

Even if they didn't cut their souls, the result of communicating with the river of fate for a long time will also cause the loss of their souls.

On the contrary, after a part of the soul is cut off, there will be a certain traction on the main plane, and the phenomenon of their soul loss will disappear.

Destiny is never something that mortals can easily pry into, and a sufficient price must be paid.

The ending of the prophecy mage basically goes crazy.

The longer you live, the more crazy you become.

Hill really didn't expect Nicholson to be so cruel to him... After all, he really doesn't know the specific prophecy spells that communicate with the river of fate.

There is no way to hide this.

People who are entangled with the long river of fate will have the so-called mysterious light lingering on their bodies.

Every time he figured out a little bit of the inside story of this world, Hill couldn't help but feel a little rejoicing.

A mage lives a hard life, that may be his character and destiny.

All mages are struggling so much, even if they are already the top figures in this world, it only proves that this world is inherently cruel.

Although Trasil had been miserable in the past, at least he had not reached the point where even struggling was like a silkworm chrysalis... The result of not struggling would be to be scalded to death, but the result of struggling would be to glow and be hot all day long. , and then die in an instant.

Therefore, even if Hill discovered those secrets, he chose to immerse them in his heart.

He didn't feel qualified to condemn anyone for anyone who was kept in the dark.

At least, it is their struggle from ancient times to the present that makes the world wait for this hopeful day.

Being able to hide what he did so deeply as the owner of a magic tower... Hill can imagine how many people would lose their lives because they couldn't hide before this.

They stepped on the blood of their predecessors step by step and accompanied their own tears to get to where they are today.

Hill may not like it, but he is not qualified to make irresponsible remarks about it.

Compared with those heavy pasts, he is more willing to choose the stories he wants to see.

For example, let these tiny mosquitoes land on the bottom of the robe of some little mage who went to communicate with the correspondent of the Nicholson family.

His mosquitoes don't have any attack power, and there are only two magic circles on his small body... the smallest one is the environmental adaptation circle, which can make these insects integrate with the outside environment.

This refers not only to the color background and the like, but also to the spell aura.

Another slightly larger circle is for spying and collecting information.

Hill made this thing look a bit like Bluetooth.

Therefore, although the mosquitoes following this mage were relatively small, there were also some relatively large flies following him.

The information collected by the mosquito will be directly transmitted to the fly 3 kilometers away.

The fly's head is the memory and retractor, and its body is the transfer station.

Hill thought about it for a while, and the mosquitoes and flies in his hands add up to several thousand.

There is also a part of the signal transmission that can maintain large insects at 10 kilometers.

In addition, the flock of birds who are far away from the group of people and are responsible for leading these bugs to follow the flight... Although the defense tower is far away, it should be enough for him to see this big show in the tower of Xiya.

He didn't do it before, of course out of fear of being exposed.

But what does Hill have to fear now?
Even if Asmodeus saw him, at this juncture, he would act as if he hadn't.
