Surviving the Fourth Calamity

Chapter 2377: Hill is timid about his hometown
Ta Ling noticed that Hill's expression was not right, and reacted quickly: their little bear, who had always been kind-hearted and slim, actually fully understood his sarcasm.

It seems that Hill is actually very clear that most of the troubles he encounters outside are caused by his own curiosity.

Moreover, I deeply understand why Liszt blurted out such words... He was afraid that the little bear would learn from Dayu.

But he couldn't let these words fall on the ground... Otherwise, if Hill's typical naughty kid's rebellious psychology was really aroused, he would really be asking for trouble!

So, Lister quickly and impassionedly changed the subject to someone else: "The one with the problem is just someone trying to take advantage of your curiosity!"

Hill blinked calmly: "William? No, it's not worth it for him at all. There is no such value in this world."

Hill was a little stunned by what he blurted out, and then he shook his head and smiled helplessly... Even though it seemed no different from the past, there was still a distance between his words.

After all, Hill knew very well that the only person who could really use him was William.

As for the others, including big guys like Minghe, they all carefully weighed the pros and cons and exchanged interests with Hill.

As for the relationship between Hill and his family, there is no need to weigh it up.

Since they are family, there is no need to measure gains and losses. Everyone has the lowest and even flexible bottom line for his or her family.

How could you give up easily unless you are hurt completely?

Although Hill knew that not everyone was as loyal and righteous as he was, at least, in his life, those family members he truly recognized did not make him feel that his ideas were wrong and that only a heartless and ruthless life was the way to live.

It’s just that his heart is big, but also small. There are not many family members who can enter his heart and be recognized by him.

As for friends, Hill was actually prepared to be with them for the rest of his life, but most of them could only wave goodbye halfway.

It would be best if they could stay together, but if they really had to say goodbye, Hill would not be reluctant to leave as long as he had a clear conscience.

Perhaps because he received the most love and care from his family since he was a child and never suffered any emotional deprivation, even if Hill occasionally feels low, he will not be overly sad because of the loss, nor will he have any lingering feelings.

In this regard, Hill knows himself well.

But he really didn't expect that when he was thinking about the problem, he would always consider William's mood and thoughts, but when he didn't need to think about it at all, he had already excluded this former friend from the scope of close friends.

Otherwise, all he would say would be 'How could William plot against me'.

However, William's position in his heart is not lower than Lansendal.

Hill silently rearranged the relationship map in his mind... He certainly didn't think William was untrustworthy from now on. Certain marks on William still existed. Hill even believed that he would not let himself lose those noble bottom lines in the future... But blindly trusting him was enough once.

Liszt himself did not expect the topic to take such a sudden turn. He actually just wanted to change the subject.

Taring didn't expect that Hill would be so sensitive.

Then Liszt realized that this was probably also a manifestation of "fear of being close to home".

For those who have been away from home for a long time, the moment they decide to go home, they are absolutely happy and don’t think about anything else.

But when I was almost home, as the memories of the past, especially the stories before I left home, gradually came to my mind, I was bound to have a lot of thoughts.

Hill started to have wild thoughts after he was sure that what happened afterwards would not have any impact on him!
Lister calculated silently and finally understood what Hill had been thinking about recently... revenge on the nobles of Trahill, the god of royal power, and the goddess of love.

Maybe he thought too much and prepared several plans. Hill was a little unsure about how far he could go, so he would think of William over trivial matters.

Lister did not intend to expose Hill's own confused mood.

To be frank, whether in Toril or in this world, Hill temporarily put aside the regrets in his heart about having reached this point with William.

The more sincere William was in his apology, the more regretful Hill felt.

Why did William have to use the lessons he learned from Hill to regain his rationality and mentality?
Although it was not clear why Hill's warlock level suddenly jumped, Lister, who was very closely bound to Hill, vaguely felt that his abilities had improved significantly... In the past, he relied on the extremely powerful computing power of the intelligent core to think about some things.

But now, Lister can actually judge the result directly when he sees certain things... The ability of humans to get the answer at a glance without thinking at all is impossible for Tower Spirit to possess.

He was able to do this because Hill had acquired some talent for causal magic.

Those who can spy on destiny, even the so-called astrologers, are purely gifted, and it is something that cannot be achieved through hard work.

No matter how much you study, the twinkling stars will not suddenly turn into movie scenes.

It is impossible for Lister to have this ability out of nowhere.

Although he already had some guesses about what Hill had gained during this period, the fact that even a tower spirit like him was affected... Lister was really worried that his master could advance just by relying on his wild imagination.

After all, he knew too much about the history of the multiverse and its possible fate.

With a little comparison, you can get feedback from the long river of destiny.

Lister once believed that there was a limit to levels... For example, at this moment, the levels of Hill, the mage, and the warlock combined would probably reach the upper limit of the multiverse.

But it seems not as simple as he thought.

Only after seeing Hill calculating some weird coefficient with his own eyes did Lister realize that the second career actually had to be discounted. If there was a third or fourth one, the discount would be even higher.

Hill still has a lot of room for improvement.

However, if the main profession that Hilla was always reluctant to admit was too high, it would affect the upper limit of his mage profession.

This is what Hill is really worried about.

Originally, he was thinking that being fat first doesn't count, only being fat later can overwhelm the opponent...suppress the development of the warlock profession, and let the mage be the profession that reaches the critical coefficient point first. Then, no matter how fast his warlock progresses later, he will not be forced to embark on the path of becoming a god because of his bloodline.

It’s a good idea, but it’s really hard to do.

In the past, the nature that had been so kind to Hill was enough to make him suffer, and now, there was also the issue of "fate".

The key point is that Hill might actually understand some causes and effects more detailed than I do.

Liszt couldn't help but feel a little pity for his master who was full of bitter words... although if these words were heard by outsiders, it might seem a bit annoying.

You know, Hill is still treated as a child by many people!

When Minghe and Hill communicated, it was a bit like coaxing a child.

Hill was used to being coaxed, so he didn't feel anything at all... Normally, how could a boss of that level be so polite when looking for someone to do a job?
Letting you do things is a blessing to you.

Of course, these big guys will not give benefits to those who work for them. The benefits may even be huge...but it is up to them to decide what to give.

How could it be possible to be like Hill and first determine what you want?

Hill had been coaxed so much over the years that he had almost forgotten all the complaints and condemnations he had made when he was receiving the company benefits!

But Hill was already thinking about how to deal with the possibility that his level might reach a ceiling that was difficult to break through and stagnate.

To put it bluntly, even the son of the Abyss Will couldn't be so fast.

However, Lister also understood a reality because of Hill's calculations: the so-called upper limit of the multiverse level is not something that no one can get around.

This is like a kind of tribulation.

Just like a newborn universe needs to survive some disasters before it can truly gain a foothold in the fantasy world, the existence that has reached that ceiling must also survive certain calamities before it can go its own way.

The reason why no one dares to mess with big guys like the World Tree and the Styx is because they have already surpassed that ceiling.

The Abyss, the Nine Layers of Hell, and Mount Heaven are the ones that are currently being crossed.

Obviously, they are the kind that have failed several times.

The reason why Hill is not worried that he will reach the so-called ceiling soon is because he knows very well that he is still far from that stage.

But he was already qualified to consider these things.

I'm afraid even Shar and Selûne don't have this qualification. AO is the one who already knows the direction.

But in terms of combat power, Hill is still some distance away from Shar... Fate is indeed the most terrifying existence.
-
Hill didn't know that his own tower spirit had almost figured out his secret.

He was watching with concern the movements of some of the undead who had taken on his mission.

Just as he thought, these undead who had no interest in joining a big family and preferred to form small gangs with relatives and friends or simply act alone, had no intention of cooperating with any family when they were sure that the Tower of Despair was mainly attacked by big families.

Even though General Lu, who came after hearing the news, was so nice that they felt like spring breeze, no one was planning to cooperate with the end of the world.

At this stage, those who have not joined any big family have absolutely firm willpower... It is no longer a question of whether to stick together or not, but the blessing of the gods enjoyed by those families is too tempting.
