Chapter 408 The target is Carpenter

 Hill was not too surprised after discovering that the mages in this world were not really ignorant, and that they all quietly resisted within their own limits.

Asmodeus's calculation is indeed correct: even if mages know that something is wrong with the world, they will give priority to protecting themselves... Even if a small number of people are willing to sacrifice themselves for ordinary people, this is not what heroes can do.

Save the world.

Heroes can appear among mortals because there is stronger support behind them... Whether it is gods or the public, in fact, heroes only represent the will to fight, and he is just the leader.

A hero with no one behind him will end up with the guillotine.

But in the same way, mages can also prevent a world from collapsing instantly... They will try their best to delay their escape until the last minute.

But when faced with such a terrifying enemy as the Lord of Hell, for such a new world, it’s not necessarily which one is better.

Hill couldn't judge, so he could only stay bored in the basement preparing steel plates: he would always have to go to the Tower of Sea in the future, and he had to prepare a suitable carriage first.

For him, the most troublesome thing is the fit.

Hilbert was very lucky that he didn't just grab materials from the warehouse. When he made Russell's ring, he also used materials from meteorites that he picked up when the meteor shower fell.

Moreover, in order to show that the thing is indeed old, he has not carefully sorted it out, and basically uses ore that has only been refined once.

It's really...fortunate that the time he casually refined it, it was almost equivalent to the world's top-level manufacturing, but it was still a little short of it.

Therefore, even if the ring is worn on Russell's hand, it is not too noticeable. After all, the ring is relatively thin. Even if you study it carefully, it is different from the storage rings from the defense tower collected by the Heinalson family.

It's not that big either.

Although the quality is not that good, the production is more exquisite and the value seems to be about the same.

Hill sat on a chair and looked at the iron ore piled on the ground, which was a little embarrassed.

It is really difficult to eliminate impurities in the steel here. Even high-level mages can only produce fine steel that ordinary dwarves can refine.

Hill must control his habits and not remove too many impurities at once.

He couldn't help but sigh, rolled up his sleeves twice more, and began to immerse himself in making... Damn it, why did he make too much of the first one?

Isn’t it difficult to rule it out?

------------------

Russell diligently slipped around the side tower.

Although it seemed like it was for daily patrol, it was actually just reading a book that made my scalp numb.

Although the rest time is the same as his, Carpenter has no interest in following his brother up and down the corridor... Walking a few times is a pleasure, but walking every day is a violation of the eldest lady's feet.

Although mages also exercise, there is still a big difference between using a stationary machine in the gym for an hour and running around for several hours.

Russell could only walk around alone, escorted by a team of animal puppets with different shapes and different production techniques... Although this world also has magic towers that specialize in creating various puppets and strange objects, it seems that

Gilbert chose to build his own.

Russell felt that he and the teacher should get along quite well in this regard: where he lives, he should try not to use finished products made by others, especially magical objects that are used every day.

Although the magic puppets in the alchemy tower had been inspected by the archmages and there had never been any quality problems, no one had ever complained about it, which made Russell worried.

How should I put it... Mages are very sensitive creatures, even those with eight rings are the same.

There has never been a complaint about this matter, which in turn also shows that people who may have opinions have already given up.

Russell is a very cautious person. If these puppets were not obviously made by Teacher Gilbert, he would definitely check every puppet every day.

However, it can also be seen from these puppets that Gilbert's refining techniques are getting better and better. Now it is only limited by his strength. After advanced, it is estimated that the puppets made can even be comparable to the most famous ones in the Alchemy Tower.

It’s similar to large machinery, right?

Russell felt happy just thinking about it.

After all, many things in the side tower are quite precious... Although I know that there are some large-scale storage tools in this world, they basically belong to the magic tower. Even the seventh-ring mages have few, Gilbert

It's even more impossible... So, if there are some large tools that can help with transportation, then you don't have to worry about many things.

Russell, who had already consciously assumed the position of senior brother and side tower steward, began to slowly think about the things he wanted to take away, and directed the puppets responsible for organizing the warehouse to move some items that looked very old and probably would not be used in the short term.

Things to pack.

Russell was a smart man, and he could see from Gilbert's reaction that he couldn't wait to recover that the Tower of Darkness was about to be unable to hold on.

No, nor is it.

The little boy slowly opened the doors in the corridor, inspected them one by one, and then closed them carefully. In his heart, he was thinking about the deep meaning of Teacher Gilbert's words that day: The Tower of Darkness is obviously still able to hold up.

stage, but Gilbert, who had clearly planned to teach them for a while to let himself get used to some of the newly modified magic runes, suddenly changed his attitude and accelerated the time to enter the meditation room.

No, it can almost be said that I can't wait.

What that means, Russell also figured it out during this time: The Tower of Sea can't wait any longer.

But it is obvious that the Tower of Black Mystery may only choose to be merged with the Tower of Theia... To be honest, for many nobles, even if the Tower of Black Mystery is as powerful as the Tower of Despair, they may not choose to come here.

After all, the former lords had more or less some background in their families. If the land had not been deserted too quickly in the past few hundred years, the nobles would not have reached the point where they could no longer survive.

This is actually a bit strange. Russell thought silently: It would be more interesting if it could be determined that the accelerated desolation of the earth was due to the astral visitors presented by the Tower of Black Mystery back then.

In fact, he had never thought about these things, but how could he not understand Teacher Gilbert's obvious defense against the Tower of Theia?

Also, why did Mr. Gilbert conclude that as long as the Tower of Theia wanted to, the Tower of Black Mystery would have no resistance at all?

This is not normal.

Let’s just talk about Archmage Lute who has never given up on transforming meteorite summoning spells. How could he be willing to give up decades of freedom and power to become a subordinate force for others?

It's not that Russell couldn't see his teacher's temper, but how could Archmage Root, who could make Teacher Gilbert live quite comfortably despite being in such poor health and prone to irritability, could be so easily betrayed?

The existence of repression?

He only loves freedom more than Mr. Gilbert, and his temperament is more wanton.

Gilbert definitely knew his teacher better than Russell, but he didn't hesitate at all.

Russell didn't know how many inside stories there were in the Tower of Black Mystery, but there must be something wrong with someone among the three tower owners, but he could imagine it... On the first day he thought of this, he cut off the apprentice's strip.

Contact channel.

Russell considered his promotion to a mage for several days and did not inform West, who managed the apprentices.

Although this would delay his access to mage resources for a few months... Russell never thought of hiding it completely.

As soon as the news about his teacher's seclusion spreads out, most people will probably guess that he has advanced.

But as long as he doesn't take the initiative to report it, then the matter is a matter of conflict. A mage always needs some time to verify uncertain things.

This time may not be long enough, but it is still enough for Gilbert to advance after he recovers his spiritual sea.

Russell could understand Gilbert's confidence...his teacher would definitely become a sixth-ring mage as quickly as possible.

The reason why it takes a year is just that Gilbert wants to advance to the seventh ring.

Russell gently closed the last door on the ground floor: even if it only had a small effect, he was willing to temporarily give up his own interests.

‘Peng! Peng! Peng!’ A burst of fast footsteps sounded above his head.

"Brother Russell!"

Why is Carpenter wearing her high heels again? Although the iron sheet is very thin, it is not weightless!

Who would wear that at home!

"What are you running for? You're about to catch up with the moving puppet!"

"Russell!"

"Huh? I'm here."

"Tsk~ What an annoying brother.

West sent a message saying that someone from the Heinalson family wants to see me."

"only you?"
