Russell had no choice.
Even if he still has doubts, this is his best chance.
Moreover, instead of entering the Tower of Black Mystery and being tortured to the point of madness, it is better to take a risk here.
Russell knew very well that if he wanted to find an opportunity to be promoted to a mage before entering the Tower of Theia, he would definitely encounter life-threatening situations in the Tower of Black Mystery.
He knows himself very well, and he also knows his sister Carpenter... If he really has to get in, Carpenter will give him this opportunity.
Even if it meant he might die, Carpenter might be married off to another family for his failure.
Because this means that Russell is convinced that this is their only chance of survival.
As long as Russell persists, as the being who can best restrain him... his family will disappear due to the passage of time, but at least Carpenter, a mage's apprentice, can live to be at least 100 years old.
If Russell had a chance to send her some magic potion, Carpenter might be able to live longer.
Although the alchemy potions in their world are very prone to problems, they are quite easy to extend life span.
I just can't stay young.
Russell believes that his sister will never stop living just because she is getting old.
Life is the most important thing in life. Beauty and youth are just embellishments of life. Some people may be willing to sacrifice their lives for those external things, but he and Carpenter are both rational and smart people, and it is absolutely impossible to commit such a crime.
stupid.
In other words, living in a world where death can occur at any time, who would not value life?
But sometimes, life is not so important.
Russell knew that he was carrying the lives of two people, the futures of his and Carpenter's families, and part of the family's hopes.
Therefore, although he has always taken his own life very seriously, when he is placed on the left side of the scale and everything he cherishes is placed on the right side, the scale at this moment seems to be balanced.
As long as he doesn't die immediately, Russell is willing to put himself on the scale.
Of course Hill could see his determination after thinking about it carefully and desperately calculating the gains and losses.
This is why he suddenly became interested in being a grandfather... Hill has always liked smart people with bottom lines and abilities.
It is not an impulsive act without considering the consequences, but a careful consideration after careful consideration.
Hill prefers to deal with such people.
After all, he doesn't like to think deeply, and he doesn't do things so thoughtfully. No matter how much he considers before, in the end he just lets his instinct drive him.
Hill is really unwilling to help others without having to analyze the causes and consequences with them and explain why he wants to give him a benefit and what the benefit means to him.
Really, for a guy like Oasis, it's enough to meet this one in his life.
He felt familiar as soon as he saw Russell... Although Russell was obviously much heavier due to the different identities and completely different pressures he faced, Hill really seemed to see a little bit of Lynn.
shadow.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be so interested in actually helping him create a conversion spell.
Although this kind of spell does exist, it is not easy for an apprentice who can only cast 0-level spells to use it.
Hill walked slowly to Russell holding a thin book: "Memorize it yourself! You should know that the books here cannot be taken outside.
Also, since the ring has been opened, the small storage space on the peridot stone can be used."
Russell took it respectfully, his hands raised high trembling a little.
He was even more certain that this was the Archmage of the Defense Tower... People from the Hesenal family were generally not very tall, or in other words, it was difficult for people in this world to grow too tall.
After all, food is expensive and there is no meat. Even if there are some nutritional supplements sold at the Magic Tower, even for noble families like them, it would be good if they can give their children some food before they are 8 years old.
Of course, as a mage apprentice, he and Carpenter still have their share, so he is still considered tall in the family, only a little over 1.7 meters.
But the person in front of him is definitely a head taller than him, no, even more.
And although maybe because he was a mage, the opponent's body was relatively slender, but for some reason, Russell could feel a sense of oppression.
It was obvious that the other party did not release any mage pressure.
In Russell's memories, this was what his grandfather had been nagging about... Archmage Johnston suddenly grew a lot taller after entering the defense tower. Although he was still very gentle, it seemed that
It makes people feel majestic.
Although he couldn't see the archmage's face clearly when he just took a peek, Russell could feel that the other person was a gentle person.
Russell used to think that his grandfather was Lao Hutu. How could there be such a gentle archmage?
Master Gilbert is very kind to family members, but he is also cold when looking at people.
Moreover, how can a gentle person be dignified?
But this time he finally felt what it meant.
Although there was a lot in his mind, Russell answered very quickly: "Thank you very much for your help, I will definitely repay you!
I will also use the storage ring cautiously and carefully, and will never expose your existence!"
Russell seemed to hear the Archmage's soft laughter, and then the black robe was gently swung back behind the stacked bookshelves.
After the initial shock passed, Russell finally realized... so many books!
Are they all magic books?
There probably aren't that many books in the Tower of Black Mystery, right?
Is this a collection of defense towers?
No wonder even the Tower of Sea had to seek help from other magic towers to kill them.
Russell couldn't help but move his feet, but he still controlled his impulse and sat down at the desk obediently... This is the spiritual sea space. No matter how many books there are, if the other party doesn't want him to read them, they probably won't.
It’s all blank paper, he’d better be honest first!
But after observing him for such a long time, he has obviously relaxed a lot.
At least when he couldn't understand, he would draw out his voice and ask loudly: "Dear Archmage~ I don't understand here, why are you describing yourself?"
"Only when you clearly describe yourself, can you put a layer of fitting film on the outside of yourself. A little bit of unsuitability will cause wrinkles in that layer of film, and it will naturally be discovered by the outside world."
"Okay, I understand. Thank you for your guidance."
Although this is a spell that can be used by an apprentice, Russell feels that only mental power is consumed at level 0.
It's more complicated than the 1st ring magic circle he completed last time.
Fortunately, he still has enough brains.
Russell narrowed his eyes a little proudly... He learned such a complicated spell in three days, so he is really talented.
However, his pride was quickly shattered by the words of the Archmage who came to check his homework: "It took three days to learn it~ Then I have to slightly reduce the intensity of your homework.
Hmm... let's try using level 0 spell conversion first... I thought we could start from level 1."
Then the other party seemed to see Russell's eyes on the verge of collapse, and actually comforted him: "Don't be sad, I haven't been in contact with ordinary... ah, apprentice-level mage for a long time, so I thought a little too simple.
By the way, what level 0 spells do you know now?"
The corner of Russell's mouth twitched slightly... He was hurt even more by these words of comfort, okay?
Don't think he didn't hear it!
He heard the word the other person took back!
Therefore, his qualification is just that the protection system is stronger than other talents, but it does not mean that his qualification is really very good, right?
Russell's little pride that had just risen disappeared in an instant.
He was a little downcast, but he still reported the 0-ring magic he knew.
"Ah, are there only general systems, protection systems and reading magic?" Hill glanced at him and said, "You can advance to the intermediate apprentice level with just these few spells. Your qualifications are really good."
Russell felt that the Archmage was really not good at comforting people... No wonder the original owner of this notebook didn't hate him, but kept complaining that he was annoying.
If any scumbag in school heard such words of comfort from the top student next door, he would probably want to punch him twice.
"If you enter the magic tower, the most important thing to learn now is detecting magic and detecting poison." Hill said slowly, "Let's start with these two.
Moreover, prophecy magic does not actually require high qualifications, so I am a little surprised why you only learned reading magic."
"Probably, the people in our family are not very good at it." Russell's mouth twitched. "Our teachers are just former high-level apprentices. What they can't learn, when we learn it, it's a bit..."
Hill shook his head helplessly.
In his mind, this kind of magic can be used by himself after reading the runes a few times... Although it sounds complicated, the runes are actually very simple, with only a dozen or so.
If you can't learn it, you probably don't understand the runes accurately enough.
But now he actually knows that people with ordinary qualifications cannot clearly understand the meaning of a rune as soon as they see it.
So he didn't say much, just said gently: "In this case, let's start with the most basic runes!"
Russell was struck by lightning.
Of course he understood what the Archmage meant.
Does this mean that he has not laid a good foundation as a mage at all, and has not even learned individual runes?
His mind quickly flashed back to the pain he suffered before he was eight years old in order to memorize those terrible magic runes.
Those days that passed with tears on the pillow seemed to have all turned into ashes at this moment... It turns out that he didn't learn well at all, right?
Although he suffered such a terrible blow, Russell still sorted out his emotions: Opportunities are always more important than face.
