Surviving the Fourth Calamity

Chapter 2373 Uniflora's Battle
Hill did feel something was wrong at the time, but he really thought it was because the whole world was too poor.

Although the explanations given by the Tower of Despair are a little inadequate, but... from Hill's point of view, there is nothing wrong with these words.

He certainly wasn't using himself as a comparison. At this point in time, even if he wasn't very clear about his own wealth, he was not completely clueless.

Therefore, he calculated based on the strength of the general magic tower.

According to Hill's estimation, in this world that seems powerful but is actually short of resources, even if the major magic towers, especially the famous ten magic towers, have intercepted more than 50% of the world's wealth... the rest is of course in the hands of the devil... it is difficult for them to maintain enough resources for high-level wizards.

The resources they can provide to apprentices can basically only guarantee their living and basic spell research.

For example, the resources provided to apprentices in the Black Mystery Tower.

It was when Hill saw them that he felt that the apprentices were really pitiful, so he let Russell and Carpenter send those things back to the Heinelson family.

Although he didn't say it, the supplies he stuffed into the two children's bedrooms and study proved how much he despised them.

However, Hill would also admit that these were indeed the most basic supplies, which could at least allow an apprentice to embark on the path of becoming a mage, but it would be impossible for him to have a side job.

Not to mention the expensive alchemy and magic circle research, he couldn't even do the simplest single rune enchantment.

In his opinion, this was already the poorest apprentice in the Magic Tower... If he was even poorer, why would he enter the Magic Tower and be bullied?
Especially when basic magic spells are actually quite widely spread in this world.

After all, no matter how dictatorial the world is, as long as the upper class does not want to fall into stagnation and watch the end of the world come, they will definitely leave some hope for the powerless to survive, and let them feel that they may have the fantasy of entering the upper class they have always dreamed of.

The more class-closed a society is, the more it will sing praises of heroism and leave aside some channels for upward mobility that appear glamorous but in fact have no influence on any mainstream power.

However, they will also wisely leave a special passage for those who are smart and capable enough to break through all the ceilings... Those who can take this path should never wait to see him smashing down the wall under the watchful eyes of the public, as that will definitely completely reshuffle the so-called upper class.

Therefore, every time the whole world is in turmoil, either the lower class really can't survive and the ceiling is not broken but the four walls are directly demolished; or there are too many people crowding on that special path and their patience in queuing has been exhausted, so they join forces to break the airtight board above their heads.

After all, mages are creatures with added intelligence. Even if there are some among them whose greed has blinded their reason, since they can reach a consensus, they will not collectively lose their minds.

Therefore, Hill really didn't think that the Nine-Ring Mage apprentice in the Tower of Despair was even poorer than the ordinary elite apprentice in the Tower of Darkness.

In fact, he quite understood why those apprentices cried poor.

To be frank, the selection of apprentices for the Tower of Despair is very strict! Think about Gilbert, and then think about those who are at least as strong as him... How could someone with this ability be willing to only learn the most basic things?
Forget about alchemy, which will make you bankrupt! Magic circle research and enchantment research are both very expensive!

Forget it...Hill stopped his self-comfort.

His mind was full of Asmodeus at the time, and he didn't think highly of the Nine-Ring Wizards in the Tower of Despair who even used ridiculous methods to summon meteorites. Therefore, he didn't take the obviously problematic conversations between those apprentices to heart!
His memory was good enough that he could restore the conversation between the apprentices exactly to the same tone... and then, he finally felt a little bit of sourness.

Yes, Gilbert was obviously the unlucky one who was defeated and fled to a foreign land, but these winners were sincerely jealous of Gilbert who must have been highly valued in the Black Mystery Tower.

Some even said sourly that Gilbert might have died with only traces left!
But based on the information Hill received later, the connection between the Tower of Darkness and the Tower of Despair has never stopped!
As a disciple that Tower Master Lute values ​​so much, how could it be possible that the Tower of Despair has no news about Gilbert?

That guy is not in good condition, but he is not dead yet.

Although there were indeed two peripheral apprentices among them, who were real apprentices accompanying a Nine-ring Mage on patrol and might not be well-informed, the one who was accompanying them definitely knew what was going on.

If Hill had thought a little more, he probably would have gone straight to the finish line.

What are Vecna ​​and Talona?

Hill would probably be happy to see them.

After all, if the two of them were created, Asmodeus would not do anything to Hill even if he rushed over... He didn't have the ability to kill these two guys without leaving any trace.

As long as there was any chance that the news would get out, Asmodeus would not harm the bear cubs of the World Tree family.

Mainly, the bear cub's goal is not to find out what the Lord of Hell is planning, but to prevent him from involving Trahil.

For the Lord of Hell who has countless backup plans, it is just giving up a world that is still relatively useful... It is a bit of a pity, but not to the point of regret.

What’s more, if the war breaks out, Jos who is hiding over there will definitely rush out... What he is afraid of is that he will die in a place where no one knows. No matter how anxious Lansendel is, he won’t know who killed him!

If that were the case, Hill would have gone home long ago, instead of being like he is now, exposing the world to the elements without hiding any filth.

But, was Hill here to do a thorough cleaning for his neighbors?

Hill really couldn't hold it anymore.

If he had rushed forward directly, the two most troublesome dangers for Trahil: the covetousness of the Lord of Hell and the mushrooms of Lady Fungus, could have been resolved at the beginning.

Then Hill could go home in style instead of getting involved with the Styx and Lansendal again.

Even Amaunator came over for a visit!

It seemed that the only benefit was that a bridge was built between the Styx and William, allowing Trahill's Styx to have a decent and warm start.

But, that, we can also do it if we return to Trahill!
However, he also established a deeper friendship with Lansendall because of this, and witnessed the changes and constants in the Paradise Mountain incident with his own eyes... It doesn't seem so bad?

It’s not that he really doesn’t have time, he was just a little frightened and he’s also learned a little more…not to mention that he has Russell, a student who satisfies him!
Um...hmm?

"Sir?" Liszt looked at Hill, whose facial expression changed drastically in the middle of his words, and asked cautiously, "Just arrange these tasks, right?

Do you need to say hello to the Lord of Justice?"

"No need." Hill came back to his senses and looked at his tower spirit steadily... He was a little confused about whether he had gained or lost money because of his momentary negligence, so he was still a little confused. "This time, issue the task in our own name, and specify that the potion comes from the crystal flower."

Ever since Trahil returned to normal and the sea, under the auspices of Aglaia, has been alternating between disaster and peace in an orderly manner, the Undead have of course finally reached the sea trench near the Crystal Flower.

Of course, they went fast and died fast.

Crystal Flower doesn't need to play any war games with them. Her purifying power can be considered a poison to some extent.

What about the elemental bodies of the undead?

Any existence that is not recognized by the crystal flower is to be eliminated.

Up to now, the undead have not found a way to survive in there for more than 1 minute...but this one minute was enough for this group of undead who were looking for excitement on their own to see several branches of crystal flowers floating outside the cave.

Of course, Uniflora is not exactly the same as an ordinary crystal flower, but the undead who have both time and manpower can still figure out Uniflora's true identity from its appearance.

Hill could even see explorations related to Uniflora on the forums of some undead who liked to study these things on their tablets... The undead had been able to determine that the abilities used by Uniflora were benefits rather than negative effects, so their expulsion and purification spells were basically useless.

These guys are already considering using various poisons or negative potions to test what the positive benefits of the crystal flower are, and have begun collecting potions from Toril.

At this point, Uniflora's purification could be easily detected, so there was no need for Hill to keep it secret.

Instead, we should announce the results before those guys get crazy enough.

What drove those guys crazy wasn't an unbeatable BOSS... The Undead knew that as long as the planner didn't give them the right to fire, they wouldn't be able to hit a single 1 even if they faced the BOSS, but the secret.

As long as this secret is revealed, the group of bored guys who have gathered together will naturally disperse.

Hill sometimes felt embarrassed. After all, there was something overly persistent about Uniflora's character, and it was difficult for her to understand how bored the undead could be.

So, she didn't understand why as soon as she told them what kind of poison it was, those guys hanging around in her trench would scatter... So what were they here for?
So, no matter how many times Hill talked to her about it, Uniflora was determined not to do it, and her desire to fight was rising!
However, Hill felt that she might still not know how the undead planned to fight her.
