Russell was confused with a hint of panic... Teacher Gilbert, what does this mean?
Hilbert looked at him: "Don't think so much. When it comes to learning spells, your own mastery is the most important.
What I can teach you is that after you have carefully studied it on your own, I can explain to you the areas that are really unclear to you.
But if you can rely on your own inference to figure these things out, then your understanding of the rules will always be more relevant to you than what I teach.
Therefore, why after a mage is led into the door of magic, even if he studies from the same teacher, the spells he uses are very different, it is because their understanding is very different.
But... once your rules are dyed with my color, you may have to make a big detour if you want to find your own path in the future.
If you don’t want to regret it in the future when you think about it now, you must put in your best efforts, do you understand?”
Russell pursed his lips and nodded seriously.
"So, don't teach Carpenter's illusion skills." Hill told him again, "In other departments, it is indeed a bit difficult for her to rely on herself. You can give her some guidance, but for illusion skills, she must be taught
Do it with her own understanding.
You'd better just explain to her where her magic seems to be false, and don't teach her how to avoid this falseness."
Russell nodded quickly: "I will tell Carpenter. Although she is a little dependent on me, she still knows how to work hard on matters related to life and the future."
Hilbert waved to him: "Come here."
Russell was a little surprised, but he slowly walked up to the high platform next to the floor-to-ceiling window and got closer to Gilbert.
"This is the center of our side tower, and all the magic circles here can be activated with it.
There are also little puppets and intelligent assistants that serve you every day, and they are also used for command.
Every 15 days, a round of work schedule must be set for them, otherwise, the seemingly smart puppets will go on strike directly.
Except for those who are only responsible for cleaning.
Here is the kitchen puppet... Although we don’t have many kinds of food here, if you don’t want to eat bread and light water every day, you have to make your own schedule.”
"Teacher?" Russell was a little panicked.
"Don't worry, I just give you management authority." Hilbert smiled slightly, "Originally, such small daily tasks should not be my job. Unfortunately, I didn't have any suitable students before.
As my first official mage student, Russell, you deserve this.
From now on, I don’t need to arrange these tasks.
Currently, I open the isolation and defense arrays at the intermediate level... After all, the Black Mystery Tower is still safe.
If there is an emergency, you only need to pull up the semicircular ring at the innermost part of the drawer to switch the upper hub to advanced mode.
This will cause great harm to people outside, so don’t open it unless necessary.”
Russell bent down and stared at the semicircular metal ring leaning against the drawer board at the back, which looked like a bottom decoration... There were also some carefully carved patterns on it: "I will be careful."
"Put your hand up." Hill pushed down the side panel of the second drawer: "Only I can push this side panel open. Even if you are qualified to use it, if you want to move here, you will be directly punished.
If the formation determines that you are an intruder, all your qualifications will be immediately cancelled. Do you understand?"
Russell nodded cautiously and carefully placed his right hand on the metal plate covered with dazzling patterns.
"Although you use your hands, the magic circle records your breath and mental power. Your hands are just a medium that agrees to access." Hilbert explained softly, "Just like you and Carpenter, you only need to make contact.
It's like crossing the crystal ball outside to get the right to live in the side tower."
Then he put away the second layer of drawers and opened the first layer: "I have turned on the retreat mode. Generally speaking, no one will disturb you.
[In view of the general environment, this site may be closed at any time. Please move to the permanently operating source-changing App, huanyuanapp.org as soon as possible]
Don't worry, as long as I'm alive, no one will openly attack the Heinalson family, let alone Ulrich's place with sufficient defense means.
So, in the Tower of Black Mystery...well...you two just stay there.
It won't be long before those big shots come back, but that dragon is having fun!"
Although he was a little confused by Gilbert's vague remarks, Russell still nodded solemnly: "I will definitely take care of Carpenter and I during the teacher's break."
Hilbert couldn't help laughing: This kid is really impeccable. Even at this moment, he still refuses to say that he can manage the side tower that belongs to Gilbert.
Although a little too stable, in this world, people with this kind of personality will live longer...even if the master of the world changes to another in the future.
After all, the nature of the world has become such that even if you can survive Asmodeus's calculations, this world will inevitably have the fate of being with the devil for the rest of your life.
A person like Hill who has gone through a rough and tumble life really can't teach Russell anything about how human beings can protect themselves from being hurt in a cruel world. It's best if he can understand everything on his own.
In fact, Hill's work is not precise. He only relied on his strength and more knowledge than others to be stable until now... Compared to Oasis, this world that made him feel a sense of crisis made him deeper.
Got this.
Moreover, although he always says that he is more careful and careful, Hill actually understands that his attributes are quite like an earth bear.
Although adult giant bears in the forest will be careful to guard against some jackals, tigers and leopards that may cause harm to them, what is their usual walking posture... Anyone who has seen the animal world knows.
"It doesn't matter what the side tower is like. It's not as important as your and Carpenter's lives." Hilbert thought for a while, but was still a little worried that the child would choose to resist when encountering an emergency. "The future of the Black Mystery Tower
You know what will happen, this place will always have to be given up.
If you really need to activate the highest protection, remember to take Carpenter into the safe house according to the instructions of the magic circle, I will wait for you there."
Russell suddenly raised his head: "But in that case, the teacher's spiritual sea..."
Sure enough, Hilbert shook his head: "The mental sea is damaged, and it only takes a moment to recover. When you drink the potion, you will know the result.
The reason why it takes so long is just to upgrade the mage level.
It will be even more chaotic in the future. An 11th level mage, to be honest, is still a 5th level mage and cannot handle some troubles at all.
If you can reach level 7 before entering the Tower of Thea, even if you just barely reach it, many things will become much easier.
Do you understand why I am telling you this?"
Russell pursed his lips before answering seriously: "I know, as soon as I find trouble, I will activate the magic circle, and I will never try to see if I can hold on.
Even if someone from the family comes to see me, I will never leave the side tower for them."
Hilbert glanced at him with satisfaction: "I told Ulrich about my plan. He will not allow anyone to cross him and disturb me. So, you should understand that you can still enter the Magic Tower."
What could the person looking for you be?"
"Do you want to... take action?" Russell suddenly gritted his teeth, "Teacher, is it really okay to keep them...?"
"Don't worry about it," Hilbert said coldly, "Their fate was already determined the moment they left the family."
Russell lowered his head and looked at the ground, his eyes still a little fierce.
This kid is actually quite annoyed by this inevitable betrayal.
In other words, even though he knew that those people would definitely be stupid, Russell still hoped that they would be smarter... In this regard, he was a bit like Gilbert. Although he could give up, he still hoped that those people would not do anything that would force him to give up.
matter.
Watching Russell leave, Hill stepped lightly on the high platform a few times. A round hole suddenly appeared where his recliner was... Hill, who was half lying down, quickly slid down.
Of course, Hill was not idle during this time.
Although Gilbert is a good formation mage, his understanding of various mechanisms and traps is still relatively rough... This world has really been cleaned up by Asmodeus.
During this period of time, he also studied it carefully. Although there are many ancient magic books, and no one even dares to say that his magic tower has a long history... there are basically no people who have actually seen the history of thousands of years ago.
