Pruitt said goodbye with an indifferent expression, his eyes that were trying to lower his head were filled with embarrassment and unwillingness to give up his ambition.
Hilbert didn't even plan to get up to see him off... This guy was a bit thick-skinned, and he would definitely shine if given some sunshine.
Speaking of which, he and West are indeed from the same school.
I don’t know how Cartmanta, who has always behaved coldly and seriously, cultivated such a student?
Normally, don’t all students have to learn the style of their own teachers?
For example, the students of Root are all domineering but protective. When they need help, they seek help from their own people first... and they know very well what exchange of interests means. Of course, they won't be completely scheming, but they won't let anyone do it basically.
The other party loses money.
How should I put it... They are more in line with the concept of traditional mages. Of course, the value that the other party does not know will not be included in the calculation, but they will never do business that the other party knows will lose money.
Picking up leaks and accepting gifts from others are two different things... No one will give something away for free unless he thinks he can get something bigger out of you.
Moreover, magic is their biggest pursuit in life, and they will not tie their hands and feet because of some interests of little value.
Even if such mages are not kind-hearted, they understand that everything has a price, so they actually have a bottom line.
Pruitt and West are different... and Pruitt is even worse. With his little depth of thought, it's no wonder he can't be promoted to an eighth-level mage.
So, maybe, maybe, even if it is not visible on the surface, the evil inside can still be smelled by people who have been in contact with it for a long time?
West is more normal. Although he has no future, he at least knows how to read people's eyes.
Of course, Hilbert knew the purpose of Pruitt coming to him, but he didn't even know what Gilbert needed, or the special effects of the mental recovery potion, so he dared to take one that looked valuable but had absolutely no value.
Something meaningful comes to him.
Ha~
The most important thing is that he has never thought about why Gilbert doesn't care about the news at all?
Hill felt that Pruitt was a little overly anxious because he didn't want to be sent to hunt down the Iron Dragon... Tsk~ Pruitt has been following Cartman Tower. Did he discover something?
For example, the relationship between Thea Tower and his teacher is a bit too close, and there are even direct students of Cartman Tower in Thea Tower?
Otherwise, why would he have the idea of creating a secret book that, although it is of some benefit to mages, is mainly useful in the apprenticeship stage?
Hill knew how the news got out.
Judging from the time, there should be some progress on the Heinalson family's side...and this family, although seemingly airtight, is actually full of loopholes.
Gilbert didn't intend to care so much. Rather than making the family look invulnerable, it would be better to let these people who knew nothing about it live a more upright life.
When the Heinalson family was placed in that position, Gilbert knew exactly what kind of danger the family would face.
[A novel app that has been running stably for many years, comparable to the old book-chasing tool, a source-changing app used by old bookworms, huanyuanapp.org]
When he later went to help Ulrich's people renovate the magic circle in their residence, and also strengthen the defense of the family library, Heinelson's people, in addition to the contents of the rare treasures,
Basically, there is nothing that the great mages outside don't know.
And everyone knows that these storage tools have been inspected by the Tower of Xiya. The resources are indeed there, but they are not worth enough to make an archmage tempted.
While Gilbert, under the protection of Root, was still alive, no one would use their brains... This refers to those high-level mages who had the ability to secretly spy on the Heinalson family.
Even if low-level mages have the heart, they don't have the ability.
Hilbert knew very well that Ulrich, who had always paid close attention to the two apprentices, had not done anything during this period. He probably went back to change his standard runes.
Gilbert, the nephew, really hoped to help his uncle who was under great pressure back then. Although he still failed to become a mage due to his limited talent, his foundation was actually very good.
In other words, the rune memories he needs to replace in the spiritual sea are not too many.
And for so many years, he has never given up his daily meditation time, so the spiritual sea has not completely solidified... An ordinary apprentice can maintain his spiritual sea from becoming sluggish as long as he meditates for a period of time.
There is no hope of advancement anyway, and meditation is sometimes a form of torture for these apprentices.
Faced with futility, no matter how determined a person is, he may choose to give up. Therefore, Ulrich's behavior is really rare among mage apprentices who are several decades old.
But maybe it was because Ulrich felt pain from his heart every time he saw Gilbert's struggle, that he really persisted until now.
Therefore, it can be regarded as finding a glimmer of hope for myself... Originally, a mage apprentice in the normal world could become a low-cost mage by being in contact with spell energy for a long time. However, the elemental energy in this world is relatively dead. If it were not for becoming a mage
It is everyone's dream, every child has the opportunity to learn magic... The Magic Tower attaches great importance to children, how could there be so many mages.
But it also makes people believe that those with insufficient qualifications have no chance of becoming a mage, so mage apprentices really live a depraved life...leaving more descendants is basically their daily life.
That is to say, the number of women in this world is actually relatively small, and women with mage qualifications are even more precious, so the relationship between men and women is quite equal on the surface.
As for the truth... Pruitt dared to come here with a bottle of potion that Gilbert would be able to use in who knows how many years, and Carpenter's name was not even qualified to come out of his mouth.
You can see it below.
When food is scarce and food is scarce, the gap in physical strength will be magnified due to congenital conditions.
The world can still maintain a superficial balance now because the Magic Tower is actually supporting ordinary people to the maximum extent possible, even if the prerequisite is to give mages an extremely noble status.
Although the reality is cruel, no one can blame it.
But once the balance line is exceeded, such as the current situation in the Black Mystery Tower, the mages will definitely choose to protect themselves first.
Hill always felt that the Tower of Black Mystery would end up like this because the Tower of Thea was testing the bottom line of the world.
It’s not just whether the mages still have the will to be independent and not want to rely on others for survival... When human beings are forced to the bottom line and are about to be kicked out, if they choose to fight with their backs, the chance of death and the chance of completely becoming someone else’s puppet, in the end
Which one is more, even the well-informed devils cannot calculate.
Another question is whether the will of this world has really completely dissipated.
The unexpected incident in the Defense Tower and the existence behind the Tower of Theia cannot fail to see the vague presence of the hand, but they can also see the weakness of the hand and the future that is about to turn into nothingness.
The devil is really good at eroding a world step by step.
But from the day when Hill entered this world and began to cultivate Russell, and from the day when Gilbert's soul was taken away by the River Styx, the remaining will in this world is probably starting to slowly gather again.
It's just that it can no longer exist independently.
After all, it is impossible for Hill to compete with Styx for this world that favors the law of destruction, so this place will inevitably be kept captive by Styx.
As for what will happen to Russell in the future...at least so far, this kid is just good in Hill's heart.
Hill is very good at finding the advantages of others and showing appreciation, but it does not mean that these advantages can touch his heart and make him willing to regard Russell as his real student.
Over the years, there are not many people who can really get into his heart.
