Surviving the Fourth Calamity

Chapter 2399 Liszt’s Example
There is nothing wrong with Hill's character of being a little protective of his friends and people he cares about.

Moreover, he did accomplish these miracles within the rules...but that was because Hill was very cautious about everything in Toril, and he made every decision after careful consideration for a long time.

At that time, Hill could see the fate cards locked in the lantern ball when he looked up, and he was naturally very alert.

But this world is different... Even though Hill is still very cautious, he is actually a little relaxed about this world where there is no real god, only the future god of death and the current Styx dead holding up the scene.

There are some things that would never be said or done in the Hill of Toril.

So, Lister was actually a little worried that Hill would do something that went against his principles because he cared too much about Russell and Carpenter.

After all, these two are different from the chosen ones like Lin who are tied to Toril. Although they owe the world a lot of luck, there is a solution.

Not to mention the resources in Hill's hands, what's more important is that as the son of the earth, he can use the method of transforming the damaged earth of this world in exchange for recognition from the world's will.

And this recognition was enough for Hill to take Russell away.

He did have luck, but that was only the most basic... Before the world should have continued to bet on him, the contract between Hill and Gilbert caused the world's will to change direction and choose Gilbert, who was more suitable for this world.

But this also means that Hill will be entangled with the fate of this world for a long, long time.

Normally, this is not a big price to pay for Hill, who has great luck and is highly valued by the World Tree, not to mention that he is likely to not let anyone touch the thread of his fate because of the watchful eyes of fate.

But Lister felt that things that shouldn't happen should not even begin.

Once it is determined that certain things can be done, and that if done in small amounts the impact will not be significant... then it will inevitably become a joke of drinking poison to quench thirst.

It’s not that he doesn’t believe in Hill’s self-control, but... on what basis?

Just to make some sacrifices for your own future, you will have to put in a lot of effort to make up for it!

Besides, minors shouldn’t steal the business from the elderly!

Even though Hill is over a hundred years old, it’s hard to say who is more mature between him and Russell.

The little bear cub probably had no idea how long Russell and Carpenter tossed and turned in the room when they first saw their teacher’s true face!

If they hadn't read those biographies and knew that their teacher was a pure immortal and much older than them, at least a little older than Gilbert, these two kids would have been so confused that they would have killed themselves.

Although the wise are the teachers, even the most rational person would probably be a little overwhelmed when he finds that his teacher has changed from an elder to a peer.

Hill always feels that his temperament is much more mature... I don’t know if he is comparing it to Leonard or Orianna... It’s all bullshit.

How many people would consider his temperament when seeing his small face?

Even if the Earth Bear is small, it still has some size! What does he have?
If a round cat's eye is elongated a little, it will no longer be a cat's eye?
It's still a cat!

Just looking at his appearance, who would think that this is a bear?

And always want to be the boss.

Lister knew that he might be worrying too much, and even in his calculations, the probability that Hill would do such an unwise thing was only a few in ten thousand... But, what if this word was invented and often used, wouldn't it really have happened!

When in Oises, Liszt observed the communication between the Grand Steward and Ambor out of curiosity, and gained some unique insights of his own.

So, when Hill started thinking about how to ensure that the two children could spend the rest of their lives safely and happily, he added a little fuel and exaggeration.

It was very successful in getting Hill's attention focused on the concept of "books"... As for the fact that Hill would later awaken some memories of "children being naughty means they don't have enough homework", that had nothing to do with Liszt.

Hill has never been a good person since he was young.

Because he was considered one of the "other people's kids" among his parents' colleagues, siblings, relatives and friends, Hill had few friends since he was a child.

No matter how ordinary Hill describes himself, it cannot be denied that he not only got into a university that others dream of, or even dare not dream of, but also got into a bachelor's and master's degree program.

Any decent person would understand that if they don’t have that talent but there is such a person around them, their parents would become very annoying.

There is only one way to vent this problem that has no solution in ancient and modern times, both in China and abroad: let that "other people's child" suffer a little.

After all, it’s not that your parents don’t want you anymore, they just nag a little... Most importantly, they will never admit that they don’t have that genetic gene.

You can only blame yourself for not being diligent enough.

Moreover, Hill was indeed a child who studied very hard, including the so-called quality education: painting and musical instruments, in which he did very well.

In other words, Hill's parents were very tactful and never boasted about Hill in public or used him to suppress other children, which was why Hill didn't get beaten every other day.

But being excluded was also his fate.

Hill was able to entertain himself so well later on, and even after being reincarnated as the current Hill, he could endure the unspeakable loneliness so naturally, without feeling unbearable at all. This was all thanks to the experience gained over the years.

But he was not completely without resistance.

Hill is the kind of 'most annoying brother' who would give his younger brothers and sisters things like Wu San as birthday gifts or New Year's red envelopes just because they bared their teeth at him.

As for people of the same age, Nahhill's revenge is even more subtle... He doesn't even have to spend his own money to buy the gifts. As long as he gives some people's parents a little clue, the other person will be ecstatic.

After all, Hill has done the whole set, so why can't you just do one?

But for many children, any extra word outside of their serious studies would be regarded as resentment.

So, even though Hill has never raised a child, he has definitely suffered enough resentment from children.

That is to say, his family background is not ordinary, so no matter how much you hate him, you can't put him in a sack... Besides, although he is not very strong, he is still quite tall. He has been superior to others since he was a child, so it is not easy to put him in a sack.

But! These were Hill's own thoughts, and had nothing to do with Lister. He hadn't even led in this direction!
It's just that Hill is too self-conscious.

Looking at everything in front of him, especially Russell's lifeless eyes, Lister seriously recorded the super secrets he learned from Mr. Lu Huayu in his core.

It’s so useful!

Obviously, he wasn't spreading rumors! He didn't even say much, but simply nodded a few words at certain moments of thinking, and he was able to accomplish his goal so well.

Tsk… Lister would never again think that Amberley might really be crazy.

The service that could make General Lu give full play to his power was definitely a scene that the goddess of the sea had never enjoyed in her life.
-
Russell didn't know that his fate was due to the tower spirit's understanding of his master, who wanted to be absolutely safe.

Although the young wizard felt the invisible weight on his shoulders growing heavier, he was not that panicked in his heart.

How to say it... Regardless of whether the teacher increased their academic workload because of his and Carpenter's curiosity, it is obvious that there is a cause and effect, and the homework is full of systematization, which shows that the teacher has considered it for a long time.

In other words, the teacher never thought of letting them do what they want.

Now it’s just possible to concentrate two hundred years’ worth of work into one hundred years. It’s not completely impossible... just try your best!
Anyway, there was nothing in this world that required him and Carpenter to pay too much attention.

Therefore, Russell was able to calm down and listen to the teacher's suggestions for the transformation of their magic tower... Hill would not do it himself, so it depended on Russell to modify it himself.

At this point, Carpenter was no longer of any use. Although her alchemy skills were good, for some reason, they were mainly focused on the puppets.

Large magic arrays are always a bit confusing.

Aren’t they all lines?

But Russell was smart enough not to say such words... After all, he was occasionally irritated by the teacher's blurt-out "It's all this and that".

As a fairly competent brother, Russell did not intend to let Carpenter get soaked in the rain that he himself had been soaked in.

He lowered his head and carefully drew on his drawing. Finally, he raised his head and said confidently, "Teacher, at dawn three days later, Carpenter and I will complete our magic tower on time."

Hill nodded and looked at his student with a smile...the way he taught his students was actually a bit similar to Fran's.

Although it will be hard for students, they will never doubt their abilities.

Of course, if one's mental quality is not very good, it is easy to think too highly of oneself.

Therefore, Fran always emphasized to Adrian and him that they must pay attention to the talents and qualities of students.

At least, he can intuitively feel the difference between himself and you when he sees you working.

People who have less than half a bottle of water themselves but think that people who have more than half a bottle of water are no different from themselves should never be accepted.

It is not suitable for their school of thought which does not like to use words to undermine students' confidence.

Of course, Adrian and Hill both understood who he was talking about...Sarral's former apprentices had not actually been with Fran for a long time, and their talents were not enough to allow them to see things that only mages could understand.

Fran's biggest pitfall is his daughter who seems to be very smart.

Hill was actually quite afraid that he would teach another Melanie, but fortunately... Russell and Carpenter were both the type who knew him very well.

Hill smiled gently: "Very good."
