Of course Gilbert understood the true meaning of the words of the archmage opposite.
Moreover, he also discovered an interesting thing about the Archmage... He did not tell lies or even exaggerate the facts.
If you don't want to say anything, just avoid it. Directly explain the process and results, but never say why.
Obviously, in the other party's heart, there are many reasons that cannot be explained to him, so the other party only makes requests and hides some deep meanings in his words for Gilbert to think about... As long as he can figure it out, it's fine if he can't.
I don't intend to force it.
Although the Archmage did intend to impersonate Gilbert and enter the Tower of Thea ten years later when the Tower of Darkness would inevitably fail, he did not act too tough.
The tone of speaking was very calm.
Although Gilbert's life has not been in many dangers in the past few decades, he has encountered countless communication crises, which makes him very sensitive to the tone of voice of others and can easily judge the other person's emotions.
The archmage opposite, who has been refusing to tell his name, does not have to start with him... That is, even if he has put a little effort into the younger generation of the Heinalson family, he has been defeated by him.
If you refuse, it will be completely indifferent.
Although Gilbert doesn't quite understand the other party's style of doing things, after all, in their world, it may not be said that there is only cruelty and ruthlessness, but kindness rarely appears except for people who have interests connected.
There is a tacit understanding between the family, the Magic Tower, and even various government agencies... But outside their respective small groups, there is absolutely no so-called kindness.
It is the principle they pursue to deal with outsiders who affect their own interests.
So Gilbert really spent a lot of effort to turn this corner: the Archmage really didn't intend to do anything to him or the Heinalson family.
The other party didn't even plan to take back the price he paid first... Gilbert, who saw Hill, immediately realized why Russell was able to advance before the deadline, and how those standard runes had never stopped.
Where did you learn it?
Gilbert clenched his fist and then revealed a wry smile.
With the bones on the back of his hand poking with just a gentle squeeze, and the obvious future, what is he still struggling with?
Looking at the Archmage who was floating around the room, leaving him enough time to think about it, Gilbert said decisively: "I am willing, of course I am willing.
Anyway, even if my soul will not be swallowed up, it will dissipate. If I can do something for the family I have fought for at the last moment, it can be regarded as a good start and a good end."
Hill blinked and tilted his head slightly: "You don't need to test them. I really like these two children in your family and will train them well.
Moreover, Russell, his future, probably, will not be too ordinary to begin with."
Gilbert couldn't help but fell into confusion: "Russell?"
"His talent, probably, was inherited from that unlucky defense tower." Hill's tone was a little ethereal, "It's really good~
I heard that the elder of your family does not have a high status in the defense tower, right?"
"That's because he's not old." Gilbert indeed knew better, "In terms of talent, he's actually pretty good.
He was the first to enter the Apprentice Ranking of the Defense Tower.
However, it doesn't have much to do with our family, it should be the only variation.
Our family’s mage talents are basically average and poor.”
Hill smiled: "But at least you have had a good time."
Gilbert turned to look at the figure floating in the window and frowned: he really didn't understand what the other party meant this time.
In a world controlled by the devil, it is actually very difficult for something like the Child of Destiny to grow enough to compete with the strong.
Therefore, ordinary people really don’t understand that there are always some people who will be affected by the world without doing anything.
Hill can understand why the remaining will in this world can be a source of trouble for a family.
He should no longer have the ability to choose again.
After the defensive tower was completely overturned and eliminated.
As for the Tower of Theia controlled by the devil, although the Son of the World was eradicated that time, he actually didn't know who it was, he just knew where it was.
That's why they didn't choose to eradicate the problem.
Instead, these families related to the Defense Tower were sent to various magic towers for monitoring... The boss at the Tower of Despair should have guessed that these were fish released for fishing, but he didn't want to challenge them.
.
Maybe, this is why the Tower of Despair has been moving so steadily, right?
There are some things where it is more beneficial not to get involved than to participate.
People with bright eyes should be somewhat suspicious of the Tower of Siya and Bissozea, but the defensive tower is the chicken that scares the monkeys.
It's not that easy to get mages to fight for the benefit of others...especially these mages who have never been involved in the world, and they don't want to protect the world in return.
Gilbert lowered his head and thought for a while: "Will Russell and Carpenter become mages?"
Hill couldn't help but raise his eyebrows... This guy is quite thoughtful.
It's easy for Russell to become a mage, but it's a bit difficult for Carpenter.
Although it is not a big deal to him, he is not interested in making any guarantees: "If they study hard, I will teach them well. As for the future...as you said, the future is in your own hands."
I will give them what they deserve, and don’t expect me for anything else.”
Gilbert sighed regretfully: "They are all good kids."
"Hainelson's good boy." Hill added nonchalantly, "I have no interest in training other people's descendants. The only real thing is to work hard myself."
Gilbert was actually very satisfied.
At least it proves that this great mage will teach seriously.
The other party probably lives in a world with abundant magic resources. At least in terms of knowledge, there are no difficulties, so he didn't hear Gilbert's real thoughts at all.
What he wants is for someone to teach the two children seriously. Just a little bit will be enough for the two children to get enough nourishment and grow up to the point where the family can cling to them.
But if Russell and Carpenter don't cherish...they don't want to learn, no one can pull them away.
Even his biological father can't do it. He, an elder who doesn't have much emotion, doesn't have the need to care so much.
Tsk, and what he can do to say these words is already his limit.
It’s really enviable!
Gilbert looked at the Archmage... Why didn't he come when he was young?
Destiny, what on earth is it?
"When I die, will my soul disappear immediately?" Gilbert still couldn't hold it back and let out a frustrated sigh again.
"You can try." Hill turned his head, with a trace of curiosity written on his face, "I'd also like to know.
I have never understood much about this aspect.”
Gilbert raised his head in surprise: he had always felt that although the Archmage looked young, he should actually have lived for thousands of years, or even tens of thousands of years.
After all, their goddess Bissozeya has been around for a long time.
Not counting the Tower of Sea, there are at least ten magic towers that have lasted for more than ten thousand years, but they did not show any objection.
But the archmage's occasional remarks made people surprisingly feel... youthful?
Gilbert couldn't tell whether this person had lived too long and had seen too much, so his mind had become clear and transparent, or whether he was just too young to begin with.
But he quickly realized that no matter which one it was, it proved the strength of the other party.
If you are younger, it would be even more terrifying.
This is a strong man who deeply knows who Bissozeya is, and clearly understands the capabilities of his enemy, yet is fearless.
"That's it." Gilbert sighed deeply. Anyway, he didn't need to ask how this person could guarantee that he could pretend to be himself in front of so many pairs of eyes, "Do it sooner, sooner.
It can also prevent the two children from being at a loss because of the change of teachers."
Hill tilted his head: "Russell should be able to feel who I am and who you are."
Gilbert couldn't help but stretched out his bony fingers and touched his forehead: "Is this child very sensitive?"
"It's hard for people like him to be deceived." Hill smiled, "Even if he can't see clearly for a while, fate will give him the opportunity to understand."
"That's great...destiny!" Gilbert sighed softly, and strands of silver-blue light floated out from his forehead and flew towards Hill.
Hill stretched out his right hand, and the shadow of a diamond slowly appeared.
The silver-blue light was directly directed to the diamond, and slowly turned into reality.
"It's so beautiful." Gilbert, who had exhausted all his strength, looked at the silver-blue gem and admired weakly.
Hill turned to look at him: "I wish you good luck."
"Ha~" Gilbert smiled, "I also wish you good luck."
Sitting on his favorite lounge chair that had been carefully arranged, Gilbert, who didn't even need to worry about his inheritance, slowly closed his eyes.
Hill looked at him steadily.
He didn't lie, he really wanted to know how Styx planned to take away this person's soul.
