Surviving the Fourth Calamity

Chapter 2323 Russell of Resentment
Hill stretched out his hand and touched the small bag. The magic book that was still sleeping inside seemed to sense his mood and trembled slightly... The crystal flower petals protected everything related to Hill.

He has conducted many experiments. If there is no Hill's mark in it, the energy of the crystal flower will cleanse any existence it encounters over and over again.

Until it's empty inside.

This is why the crystal flower seeds can easily control those puppets and directly replace the puppets' will with their own.

Those who are not marked by Uniflora will be cleansed...and how can a blank soul know that its life is being controlled by someone?

Naturally, there will be no resistance.

This is also the reason why Hill is very careful and never uses crystal flower petals in public.

Uniflora's power is too special and too strong.

This ability is definitely the favorite of the evil camp.

Think about what happened in this world...With the petals of Uniflora, there was no way Gracia's sliced ​​soul would fail.

Even dual-core mages who devoured their other half's soul could make themselves more like a human being... Relative devouring was an absolutely evil act, but devouring only a pure white soul could make this act be judged as a slightly weaker evil in the law.

That could definitely give these mages with frozen souls a little buffer, and possibly help them find their own way out over a long period of time.

It is conceivable that if outsiders knew about Uniflora's talent, she would be met with crazy covetousness.

This was enough to make the evil camps ignore the threat of the World Tree and attack Trahil.

Fortunately, this terrifying purifying ability is only possessed by the petals on her main branch.

Fortunately, Uniflora has lived for so many years and has only looked at Hill differently.

Although Trasil was not without her main branch flowers, Uniflora cherished herself very much, so she would only take out those petals that were about 100,000 years old and were very effective in purifying negative energy... those petals that fell during one of her maturity periods.

Uniflora carefully collected petals like those that had matured at least twice.

For Uniflora, Hill was her unexpected child, so she didn't care that her own child touched the sign of her maturity.

But outsiders can't do that.

Therefore, they could only touch the petals that had not been caressed by the seductive scent she exuded when she was mature.

When she gave these petals to Hill, she also repeatedly reminded him...what kind of petals can be used by outsiders in making finished products.

Moreover, Uniflora has a completely new setting for this ‘outsider’: Fran and Hill’s earth bear relative.

As for distant relationships, in the eyes of Crystal Flower, they may not be human.

I have a deep memory of Hill's earnest advice to Uniflora... Crystal Flower always feels that Hill is too kind and is nice to everyone, which is not good.

Although she liked the love and kindness of the Earth Goddess, Uniflora did not want her children to become like that.

It’s better to let others do such hard work!
Uniflora hopes that Hill can think more about himself. It’s okay for outsiders to take a few glances at him, but it’s best not to even look at others.

Sometimes, Hill is also very tired.

Really, he has too many ancestors above him, and they all have their own ideas.

In other words, everyone hopes that Hill will be better and happy, and every time after giving instructions, they will add a "but... if you are happy...", so that he can cope with this heavy love.

But it was precisely because Hill never broke his promises that he was able to clean up the dirt on his magic book and reassemble it perfectly.

Moreover, the purification power is only a hidden ability of the crystal flower. Her petals are unparalleled in restoring magic power and mental strength.

It was an effect that even the top-grade potion made by Hill could not achieve... although this might be because Hill's drug alchemy skills were at best first-rate.

However, no matter how perfect the medicine is, it is difficult to complete the repair like the crystal flower without leaving any trace.

Of course, if he wants to restore his magic book to its original state, the energy provided by a few petals is not enough.

What's more, once the crystal flower starts releasing energy, it will explode instantly and then turn directly into water.

Hill spent a lot of time and effort before he found a feasible solution: he used the overlapping crystal flower petals and the thinnest threads extracted from the crystal flower vines to sew a thick small schoolbag.

These petals must be sewn with the same silk thread, and the needle holes on the previous petal must not overlap with those on the next petal. Then, on the outside, a whole thousand-year crystal flower that has not yet been unsealed is used to wrap it up.

Then, outside of this, you have to use crystal flower vines to weave a small transparent bag that can just hold the crystal flower inside, and it has to fit perfectly.

Although Hill's weaving could almost be said to be directly weaving the flower, no matter how strong and meticulous his mental power was, it would be difficult to do such delicate work perfectly.

If you accidentally touch it a few more times, this stitch will be completely ruined... The impact when removing stitches is always greater than when weaving.

Fortunately, he didn't have to start from scratch.

With Hill's patience, he almost got angry after resuming work dozens of times.

But as long as you get impatient, you will inevitably make more mistakes.

Hill really worked hard to weave it, but fortunately, he finished it.

Otherwise he wouldn't have the heart to take this bath.

Feeling the increasingly stronger aura of the magic book, Hill used his mental power to calm the book spirit which was a little uneasy because of leaving him, and then he entered his big pool with satisfaction.

In short, before going home, he found a solution to the thing that was most on his mind.

Of course Hill knew that it was okay to deal with these things after returning.

But he didn't want to go home with his scars.

A child who returns from a long journey always hopes that his family will see his joy and happiness... He only has to bear the wind and sand on the road himself.

Even though his family knew that he had experienced a lot of wind, frost, snow and rain along the way, the feeling between hearing and seeing was completely different.

Hill smiled, closed his eyes, and sank into the warm water.

"Carpenter, what are you doing?" Russell walked out of the magic tower that had been built to the fifth floor with a dusty face, but saw his sister who said she wanted to help him draw magic patterns squatting on a big rock and peeking out.

"Ah~ Coyle and Rojas, went to the camp below." Carpenter said without turning his head.

Russell couldn't help but shook his head.

Of course, he and Carpenter already knew about the Black Mystery Tower.

The reason why Carpenter was so concerned about the movements of Coyle and the others was because they all knew that among the survivors of the defense towers below, there should be many accomplices of the Tower of Despair.

In the past, in the minds of these low- and middle-level mages, although the major magic towers had their own little thoughts, they were actually on the same side.

After all, there is a powerful enemy like the Tower of Xiya.

Things like internal fighting need to be considered only when you have spare energy!
While they are still fighting for power here, they are wiped out by a powerful enemy over there, leaving nothing behind... How stupid must one be to do such a thing!

However, the nature of human beings is indeed a mess and a slap in the face.

Russell, who has been in contact with the undead for some time, already knows what it means to complain about himself and leave others speechless.

But it’s not incomprehensible.

Russell, who was still studying frantically and had even learned part of the history of this world that his teacher had copied from the Styx at some point in time, couldn't help but think... After all, this world had been pretty crazy since it appeared.

In the normal world, even if there is such a crazy Silver Moon Goddess, there probably wouldn't be so many great wizards who follow her in her craziness.

That cannot be explained by mere selfishness.

This only makes sense if humans are born with a crazy gene.

Like him, no, even a guy like Rutte who can be considered a normal person, is a sudden benign mutation.

However, people with bottom lines...Russell shuddered when he thought that if it weren't for his teacher, his fate might not be much better than Root's.

He didn't know how happy he was that his potential identity as the son of destiny was taken away by Master Gilbert!

What Russell wants to be is a proper wizard, and being like Teacher Hill is his dream... Who wants to be entangled with this ghost world forever!
Even though he was born here, he knew in his heart that without the world there would be no him. But the more Russell learned and the more he knew, the more he couldn't help but feel resentful.

He sighed softly, "Master Root will probably be here soon."

"Hmm?" Carpenter stood up and asked curiously, "Won't he blow up the Tower of Despair first?"

"This shows that Master Root is still rational." Russell smiled slightly, "He also knows to find an ally who will definitely not cause any problems first.

Otherwise, who knows if there are other magic towers that have backup plans for the Tower of Despair?"

The Tower of Despair, as the force that has always been in communication, often sends archmages to lead large caravans to visit other magic towers.

Just like the Heinarson family was pushed to the Tower of Darkness by the Tower of Despair because of their special status... The reason why no one found it strange was naturally because such things had happened before.

As a positive character that directly faces the Tower of Thea, secretly fights against it, and will lend a helping hand to those who cannot get enough meteorite materials, the Tower of Despair has really brought a huge surprise to the whole world this time.

Not all the forces they sent over had problems, there must be quite a few like this in the Heinarson family.

But there must be some things mixed in that shouldn't exist.

Rutt himself could not fight against the Tower of Despair, and he could not wait until these magic towers voluntarily or were forced to clean up these things before finding others to cooperate with him.

So, who else can I turn to?
