Surviving the Fourth Calamity

Chapter 2328 Hill is not you

Hill knew why Gilbert proposed the 50-year limit.

It's not because the time is short, but because this is the only time he has to devote all his energy to condensing the crystal.

After all, in this world, he is only needed as a marker for a short period of time.

When the number of deaths increases in the future, he, as the Lord of Death, will have to start absorbing and decomposing the energy of death. Even if he still sits in the tower of bones and does not go out, he will have a lot more work to do.

As for the Nether Crystal, all it requires is time and full concentration. It is not the case that the refining speed will be increased just because Gilbert becomes stronger.

After all, it was the water of the Styx.

The God of Death only uses the relationship between himself and the will of the Styx to extract materials that are part of the Styx's body. It has nothing to do with their own strength.

The Nether Crystal is actually one of the proofs of whether the god of death in this world is authentic... Grey Eagle can't do it at all.

However, Naraku doesn’t even have his own City of Death and lives in a mobile castle, not to mention the Nether Crystal.

Being able to make a god of death do nothing for 50 years just to refine Nether Crystal for him is actually quite amazing.

Moreover, Gilbert's request was not for Hill to take care of Root all the time, but just to ask him not to really risk his life in this battle of revenge.

Obviously, Gilbert was not afraid that Root would inevitably enter the Styx in the future, but that he was worried that Root would become his direct subordinate.

If you just work in the City of Death, it won't really have any impact.

The City of Death is a conceptual existence.

Once the number of undead exceeds the capacity limit, an additional city will be immediately replicated to divert them.

If they were not judged to be souls that needed to be punished, they would definitely have to stay in the City of Death until their soul power was completely eliminated.

The other worlds simply lack a trial stage.

But they will, no, it should be said that they can, set up an additional city to accommodate the undead who are waiting for the last moment.

It's just that most reapers wouldn't do that.

After all, the emergence of each additional city would not only require them to pay more attention, but would also divide a large part of their divine power.

Otherwise, how could a place like Toril have only one City of the Dead?
The River Styx has been blocked several times!

How many worlds are there like this one, where even the god of death himself thinks he will have a lot of free time in the future?
In order to have so many undead spirits appear in the adjacent city, Gilbert would have to have great divine power!
So, as long as Rutt doesn't die in this battle of revenge, things will be easy in the future.

After all, Ruth is also a nine-ring wizard.

How could he possibly fight with anyone in the future if he hadn't lost his mind?
Although this world will become very dangerous in the future, no matter how many people die, it actually has nothing to do with the people of this world... It is estimated that most people will die of old age.

Hill actually wanted this Nether Crystal a little bit.

It’s not because he has any fantasies, but... he doesn’t know whether this thing will be useful to Crystal Flower and Aglaia.

If no one mentioned this, Hill himself would definitely not have remembered it.

He actually understood water very well, even the scary part of water that wasn't cold. He didn't need to rely on any Nether Crystal to experience its silent and cold cruelty.

But now that he was reminded that there was such a thing as the multiverse, Hill still wanted it a little.

Although he has already prepared gifts for his relatives and friends, wouldn't it be better to have one more special one!

But Hill felt that these things were not very important to him and were not worth wasting his time on.

Hill thought about it for a while and gave Gilbert a semi-affirmative answer: If Root found the real culprit in the Tower of Despair before Russell and Carpenter completed the construction of the Magic Tower, Hill would take action himself when Root was in danger.

But if it happens too late, Hill won't bother.

Although Hill didn't know why Gilbert was unwilling to entrust these matters to William and his undead, there were actually only a few reasons.

The most likely possibility is that Gilbert is worried that William and the undead are not interested in the Nether Crystal, but the City of Death.

The name of the Undead is actually a stimulus to the Death God series.

Hill initially thought William would change it after leaving Trahill.

After all, those who like to describe themselves as immortal are generally undead creatures.

In the past, Trahil did not have the Styx that could temporarily house the undead, and the special properties of the world suppressed the birth of the undead... A world with strong vitality and excessive elemental energy will decompose the undead as soon as they appear... Therefore, the understanding of immortality must be different from that of other worlds.

But even in Toril, William did not change.

Hill thought that this might be related to the past experiences of the God of Time and Space.

Judging from the current level of activity of the undead, if their time-space game can really be passed down for several generations, then the mortals' concept of "immortality" is likely to undergo a huge change.

This is almost forcing some guys who call themselves the "Undying King" to change their names.

But before that, there is no way to avoid the situation where all the gods of death will be alert when they hear the word "undead".

Based on Hill's understanding of William, he has absolutely no interest in caring about the city of death in other worlds. At most, he is curious about what the city looks like.

So, he told Gilbert bluntly that if he was willing to accept the situation that after Hill left, William and the undead would take over the task of saving Root's life, then Hill would agree to his request.

It all depends on which side Gilbert chooses.

Should I continue to be vigilant against William, or...

But before Hill started, Gilbert said in a decisive tone: He was willing.

But Gilbert still believes in Hill more.

No, it should be said that Gilbert only wanted to trade the Nether Crystal to Hill, not William.

Hill saw through his little thoughts at a glance.

Within an hour of the Nether Crystal being sent from the hands of the Grim Reaper who condensed him, one can sense the level of the power origin of this Grim Reaper... after all, they are resonating with the Styx.

Gilbert didn't care whether Hill would give the crystals away in the future, but he didn't want William to feel his essence.

Just like the gods of death in Toril, some represent the 'cruelness of death' and some represent the 'fairness of death', when Gilbert first took over the position of the god of death, he must have only started from the part of death that he understood and accepted.

After all, he was not born the god of death, so it was difficult for him to understand and accept all the laws and attributes of death at the beginning.

Gilbert is truly a natural born wizard with a very meticulous mind.

However, Hill changed his mind and couldn't help laughing... But for Gilbert, he would rather expose his true nature to Hill than accept his former teacher as his follower.

Logically speaking, this was a recognition of Hill's character...but Hill had no time to think about whether he should be proud or not, he just wanted to laugh.

Moreover, Hill suddenly had a feeling that even if he didn't take action, Root would probably survive.

As Gilbert has gathered the last bit of luck in the world, his only wish from the heart is probably easy to achieve.

Hill, who felt he could win without much effort, was of course smiling happily.

At the rate Russell and Carpenter were building the magic tower, Hill would have at least another month and a half.

Don’t be fooled by the fact that they are working very quickly on the following floors, that’s because they haven’t reached the alchemy laboratory yet.

So, there is only one thing Hill needs to do now: issue tasks to the undead and ask them to assist Root in finding the real murderer and where the murderer behind the scenes has fled to.

Although the Undead had ambushed the Tower of Despair long before Vecna ​​took action, with their capabilities, they could never be foolproof.

As long as someone wants to run away, it is easy to do so.

Of course, that would require a sharp mind... that is, to escape when Vekna and Shar started fighting.

It definitely wouldn’t have worked before, because Vic is such a cruel and ruthless guy.

Not after that either.

The reason why Ruth didn't come here immediately was to ask the two factions of the Tower of Darkness to send people to help surround the perimeter of the Tower of Despair.

There is no need for them to start fighting. When they find someone escaping from the encirclement of the undead, they just need to set off a big firework to notify them.

The undead are just more lax and can't be alert to their surroundings all the time, but they are not so good at knowing where the enemy is and unable to kill them.

You have to know that there are tens of millions of high-level professionals squatting there in an encirclement. Even if there are a few pseudo-Nine Rings on the Tower of Despair, they can't withstand the mindless siege of so many people.

Otherwise, Black Rose wouldn't be the only main fighting force left outside the refugee camp of the Defense Tower.

The undead knew very well where there was more experience.

There are only a few construction missions in the Tower of Dawn and Russell, so you might as well wait in the Tower of Despair to block people.
-
"Hill has a mission." 'Old Sanda King' used a tablet to inform his companions who were in chaos.

"Eh?" 'An Idle Person' asked in confusion, "Why does Hill care about the Black Mystery Tower?
Could it be that an old lover is here?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" The 'Old Fighting King' jumped up and slapped him on the back of the head. "Don't get us involved if you want to die!"

"Ah~ Xianren had a chat with that Roxas." 'Magic Sword' interrupted with interest, "I heard that among Roxas' students, there is a little loli who admires Hill very much."

"What does that have to do with Hill?" Xiao Liuliu said speechlessly, "Don't fantasize about it. Hill is not like you who can't find a girlfriend.

To him, it was just an insignificant burden.”
