The female apprentice named Carpenter who was hiding behind Russell in panic suddenly reacted: "Patriarch? Are you saying that we still have a chance?
Is the Tower of Black Mystery planning to release the restrictions on mid-level apprentices?"
"You have to pay." Patriarch Heisennar interrupted her.
The two apprentices' eyes widened together, but after looking at each other, they immediately turned their heads and continued to look at their clan leader.
Patriarch Heisennar nodded with satisfaction.
Unlike other noble families, the Heisennar family's backer fell too quickly and terrifyingly, so all the branches in the past fled quickly, and no one planned to flee with the main branch.
Otherwise, they would not have been unable to find a few good apprentices in the entire family for so many years... The nobles can support themselves for so many years in such a harsh environment because they can recruit children with outstanding qualifications in their territory in advance.
In the bag.
Of course, because the mage's status is too high and the Tower of Sea's eyes are too sensitive, no one dares to use strong methods, but how many methods can the poor have to support the nobles?
Besides, it’s a win-win situation.
Otherwise, even if those young apprentices receive some support from the Mage Tower, their families will not be able to enjoy the blessings.
But the side branch that enters the Heisenar family in this way will definitely not share much of the benefits of the main branch, so no one can complain if they just fly away when the disaster comes.
However, although this ending did make life a bit difficult for their family after escaping, the family is still very united because of the deep blood ties.
Just like Gilbert's father, who obviously could replace their clan as the patriarch after Gilbert entered the Tower of Black Mystery, after careful consideration, he chose to take a step back.
The reason why their family can remain so stable even though Gilbert's state has always been a little uneasy is because everyone takes a step back between the interests of the entire family and their own... as long as it's not too big.
Just hurt your own interests.
For the nobles, this was simply a miracle.
This is really the result of sharing weal and woe back then.
Therefore, Patriarch Hesenal really hopes that the new generation can also unite, especially when the family is in such a crisis.
Although the two children in front of them only share the same great-grandfather, they can still remain calm under such a strong temptation and wait for him to explain his words. This is already good.
"So, Ulrich will take you to see Master Gilbert once." The patriarch looked at the two children whose eyes were full of longing and said seriously, "As long as you behave well, Gilbert is sure that you can cultivate them."
If there is hope, the family will spend money.
Both are fine, just send both in.
Therefore, you must sort out everything and don't hide anything in front of Gilbert, especially you, Carpenter!
I know you are worried that your family will send you out for marriage, so you keep pretending to be stupid, but I can guarantee that even if you fail, you will still stay in the family!
You don’t have to worry about the town government. Those great mages in the Tower of Black Mystery have been in a very unstable mood recently. They would never dare to come out and force an 11th-level mage’s family papers for such a trivial matter."
Carpenter was stunned for a moment, couldn't help but pursed his lips, and nodded with difficulty.
She didn't expect that these elders already knew why she kept hiding behind Russell and pretending to be shy.
But what can she do?
When the family now needs her to enter the Tower of Black Mystery for the family, she naturally speaks very nicely, but... if it weren't for this critical moment, would the family have the ability to block her from those prying eyes?
Two mage apprentices are more likely to give birth to children with good qualifications. Who doesn’t know that?
Especially because her family has some money, she is much healthier and prettier than other girls of the same age, and she may even be attracted by the wizards passing by in the town... Although Wizard Gilbert is also level 11,
Before the spiritual sea has completely recovered, the Hesenal family will never pull the mage out to protect her.
Doesn't Russell understand this in his heart, so he is the first to speak up when something happens, so that she can hide her presence!
Carpenter looked back at his cousin, who was closer than his biological brother, and then turned to look at Chief Heinalson seriously: "Chief, I understand what you mean.
But what if neither of us behaves well?"
"Then choose a slightly better one and send it in." Chief Heinalson said decisively, "But you have to understand that if you can't even pass Gilbert's test, then our family is sending it in for self-protection.
The gift box in the Tower of Black Mystery, after the items are taken away, what happens to the box depends on your own fate.
Even if Gilbert can bring you to him, but... it is estimated that life will not be easy.
In the magic tower, it is not impossible for the weak to survive, but there will always be people who want to make your life more uncomfortable."
"We understand." Russell grabbed Carpenter who was still about to speak, pressed her head and bowed, "Thank you, patriarch, for reminding us. We will do our best to express ourselves."
Chief Heinalson nodded to him with satisfaction: "Carpenter has almost turned herself into a fool by pretending to be stupid. You need to remind her more.
In front of Gilbert, pretending to be yourself is the stupidest thing."
"yes!"
After Patriarch Heinalson left for a minute, Russell let go of his hand on his stupid sister's head: "Are you carried away?
The patriarch is not your father, so he can still listen to your farts?"
Hill, who was squatting underground and listening to the whole process, couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. He thought Russell was the kind of tolerant and good brother.
But it doesn’t sound like that!
I still care about my sister, but it doesn't seem to be the kind of care that requires my full protection from my sister.
Carpenter was quite used to Russell's way of speaking. He just pursed his lips and said unhappily: "He wants us to unite and choose among us. Why should we give him a good face?"
"The elders always like to see the juniors unite, so they like to play little tricks like that." Russell, who had already closed the door and opened a small 1-ring isolation circle without hesitation, knocked on her helplessly.
In the head, "Isn't it like this since childhood?
Why bother, we understand it ourselves anyway.
Our interests are the same.
It's a pity that none of us have that qualification, otherwise, even if one of us is in the tower and the other is outside, we can live a good life."
He looked at the isolation circle that could barely wrap up the two of them: "Obviously I have such good qualifications in making defensive circles, why can't my spells work?
Alas~
It’s a pity that we have dreamed of it since childhood.”
"Don't think about it." Carpenter patted his arm comfortingly, "Now, isn't there a chance?
Let’s go together.”
"No, unless our qualifications are recognized, I will be the only one to go in." Russell said decisively, "You are stupid and stupid, and your brain is slow. If you can't advance to the mage level, you will probably be deceived and killed in a few days.
!
Let’s stay with the town government outside!
Just like what the family said, they will never send you out for marriage as long as I am still alive."
He raised his hand to stop the agitated Carpenter: "I won't die.
How could I lose to those idiots?
I have always felt that my qualifications are definitely not that bad."
"I know." Carpenter didn't care at all about his brother's slander, but was a little unwilling to be left out, "But in that case, wouldn't you need my cover even more?
Why does Master Gilbert cherish his family so much and not leave the spells of the defense tower in the family for us to learn? Isn't it because we are safe only in that tower!
But you know, you will never be as cautious as that mage.
As long as you can become a mage... But even if this approach does not attract the attention of those over there, there will be people in the Tower of Black Mystery who think you are difficult to control and may even cause trouble and attack you.
Russell, let me follow you!"
"It's meaningless to say this now." Russell said expressionlessly, "It's useless what you say.
Everything depends on Master Gilbert’s judgment that day.
If you behave well enough, everything you say now will be nonsense."
Carpenter suddenly opened his mouth at him and made a "Prrrrr~~" sound: "You're the one who keeps farting!
Wait!
When the time comes, maybe I can get in and you will be sent to the town government!"
In fact, both children seem to have a good understanding of their own abilities and understand who is stronger.
Hill blinked. He never knew how to enter the Tower of Darkness quietly, so maybe he could pretend to be an old man?
Or Nazgul?
Hill looked through his storage tools... He remembered that there were several relatively simple storage rings woven from fine iron and silver.
After selecting a small flat iron ring inlaid with small pieces of dark green peridot, Hill began the distressing project.
------------------
In order to prepare for the meeting with Master Gilbert, Russell and Carpenter began to live in the library.
When Russell was flipping through a thick family notebook, he suddenly felt something was wrong in the cover.
