Surviving the Fourth Calamity

Chapter 2348 Johnston's Confusion

"I have imagined many endings, but this is definitely not one of them." Johnston Heinelson sighed, "Little Heinelson down there, which team are you from?"

Felice hesitated.

Johnston noticed his hesitation and couldn't help asking with a melancholy look on his face: "Isn't he a descendant of Pierre?"

"That's not the case." Felice sighed, "If I were the descendant of Master Pierre, I might be happier!

My name is Felice Heinelson.

My branch, um, is from the same period as yours. If we follow the genealogy of your time, we should be called Nigel."

"Who is that?" Johnston asked decisively.

He knew it.

Even when there were very few mage apprentices like Felice, there were not many brothers and sisters of the same race that Russell could remember.

Just because Felice can argue with Russell and Carpenter, it doesn't mean that it's okay between wizards and apprentices.

No matter what he said, his qualifications were not outstanding, but they were still acceptable.

There are also some people who can barely become apprentices and only learn the art of light in a few years.

This kind of apprentice, even if he is Russell's peer, would not appear in front of him often.

How could Russell, who was immersed in learning magic, remember a silent person passing by him?

On the contrary, it is someone like Felice who is neither good nor bad who has some understanding of the people around him, behind him, and around him.

After all, they will spend more time together in the family in the future.

Someone like Russell, even if he didn't leave the family, would not fall to the point of competing with them for work.

At least there is definitely a place for him in the library.

The mage is the one who understands best what the gap between people is, which is sometimes even greater than that between humans and dogs.

People with a better mentality can still struggle to find their own way.

Those who can't get over it are just like the children of his nominal father's great-grandfather Nigel, who have been told since childhood that they must give birth to a formal wizard. When they grow up, they will only harm their own children.

After all, it is easiest to push the blame onto others, especially onto one's own children.

He can even push the blame on the woman he married, thinking that he is the one who is owed by God and will be compensated sooner or later.

This went on from generation to generation, and naturally it produced a creature as stupid as Felice's fake father.

To be honest, those guys ended up in bad luck, which was one of the reasons why Felice willingly chose Heinarson.

Otherwise, once his reputation spreads, that group of people will definitely come back... Although Felix was sent away by them, as long as he is still in the Heinelson family, he will be inseparable from that group of idiots.

Not to mention, his mother might be selfish, but she might not necessarily make a wise choice between him and his half-brothers.

Who makes Felice strong?
There are always people who think that he can feed others by making a few concessions, so why bother so much.

But why shouldn't he care?

Felice barely suppressed his sneer and pulled the corner of his mouth with all his strength: "I am not qualified to interrupt you when you are arguing with Master Pierre. If it weren't for the exchange of power between the patriarchs, I can't even touch the edge of the direct lineage.

You don’t have to care. After all, you have already chosen to leave the clan.”

Johnston couldn't control his emotions. The big face on the ceiling suddenly changed shape, and even the voice changed direction again: "They left the tribe and left you behind... What are they doing?"

The undead who had been listening to their conversation quietly couldn't help but whisper among themselves, but soon returned to silence at the gesture of the 'Old Sanda King'.

"My mother and the mother of my direct mage are sisters." Feristan answered frankly, "Compared to that annoying husband, she felt that sisters were more trustworthy."

Of course Johnston understood what Felice meant... As a wizard seed born with external help, it was natural for Felice to choose to stay with his mother.

Of course, there are definitely a lot of bad things in it, but as long as the result is good, it's fine.

After all, if Felice had gone that way, he certainly wouldn't have been able to wake up at such an opportune time.

Although after the world gets back on track, the Heinarson family will definitely try to regain control of the mine as long as they are alive, and maybe they can even wake him up.

But that was definitely not as good as the opportunity now.

Although he has not recovered enough strength, now he only needs to activate the magic circle to close all the passages and caves in the mine except the old mining area controlled by him. Obviously, there is no need for him to fight desperately.

Furthermore, he could also use the bright lamp to absorb the idle magic power that was overflowing and echoing in the cave to strengthen himself.

There are really a lot!
These strange races who came from nowhere have a kind of unbridled beauty.

Johnston had never seen such a great wizard who dared to cast spells without any purpose before.

In just a short while, the energy he had accumulated was stronger than the energy he had accumulated over the past few hundred years!
However, Johnston, who was used to living a frugal life and had to work in a small space, felt an indescribable envy in his heart at that moment.

What alchemist wouldn't want to squander money and use as many experimental materials as he wants?
Of course, the most important thing is that he can participate in this war to drive out foreign evil, even if it is just a little bit.

Although Johnston did not feel too much resentment when he was dying, after all, fate had brought him to the end, and he had done the best he could.

But, to say that he was really willing is nonsense.

Johnston must have been so upset at that time that he was sentenced to death. Why wasn't it the people from the Tower of Despair?
It's obvious that their strength is much stronger than the defense tower!

That place is much closer to the Xia Tower than the Defense Tower... But Johnston also understands that the closer the enemy is, the easier it will be to control as long as the difference in strength is big enough.

But this could not control the resentment in Johnston's heart.

Until his broken soul heard some trivial whispers from his enemies.

It was then that Johnston realized that, except for their Defense Tower, which was a truly foolish force, everyone else had their own capital.

Even the pitiful Black Mystery Tower, which relies entirely on other magic towers for help, is more confident than their defense tower.

They...even the people they send out as hope for the future are full of problematic people, what else is there to say?

Fortunately, Johnston was sober at the time and had no intention of letting the Heinelson family, who already had a good chance of survival, follow this group of conspiring guys into a dead end.

Otherwise, there is no way the Heinarson family could survive in the claws of such a group of jackals, tigers and leopards!

Of course, this was all information Johnston collected after he was awakened by Felice's mental power.

Once he was sure that his family was not only doing well but also on the side of the winner, Johnston began to consider his own future.

Even if everything returns to normal, he can only exist in this condition. He is neither a dead soul nor a living being.

But Johnston was not without any opportunities.

Compared to other forces, the most unruly defense tower actually stores the most ancient information... Sometimes, Johnston also thinks it is normal for them to be taken out by the Xia Tower to warn others.

After all, who would brazenly put books in their secret library that despised Bisozea for pretending to be the real goddess of creation?
Even Johnston, who is not a true direct descendant but only a recognized deputy tower master, can watch it at will.

Johnston didn't know how the spies sent by the Tower of Sea felt when they saw those things. Anyway, if he were in his place, he would definitely want to kill this troublemaker.

However, he also knew that it was precisely because of the rebellious and persistent spirit of the real masters of the defense tower that they attracted Lord Joss, who gave them a glimmer of hope.

But... forget it, ifs and such are the most useless words.

Anyway, at least Johnston was certain of one thing from the information: as long as enough people knew his name and praised his achievements, his broken soul would become more and more stable.

As for becoming a god, he still doesn't have that idea.

But there are many wizards and priests around Bisozea who are immortal because they are praised and remembered. They are his targets, so he has to be careful not to be controlled by any external forces.

After reading the information, Johnston knew very well that many of those so-called mages were completely different from their original selves.

The reason why he used the small fluorescent lamp to create his current self was that he hoped that the soul fragments could influence each other until a unified soul emerged, and that if someone tried to control his soul, he could directly discard the affected part of the soul fragment.

There are so many small fluorescent lights! Breaking a few of them won't have any impact at all.

Listening to Felice's detailed introduction of the situation...it seems that this kid knows a lot about it and has told him almost everything about the Heinelson family.

Including Gilbert, the messenger from the underworld.

Wait, the flow of Johnston's soul power suddenly stagnated... The special material, Hadesite, that he used to allow his soul power to move freely in the mine, seemed to be, said to be, a material from the River Styx?

The reason why Johnston used it is because apart from the soul fluctuations, its other defensive powers are very strong, and also because this material can slightly curb the speed at which the earth recombines.

But this thing can only be used underground. The deeper you go, the better it works. It is said that it will be even more powerful if you can get close to the River Styx.

For a moment, Johnston really didn't know if there was anything wrong with his original decision.

Is it possible that he...will enter the River Styx in the future?
