Oliva didn't care about Gilbert's attitude, since he didn't roll his eyes at him anyway.
But at this moment, he understood why Aisling always regarded Gilbert as an imaginary enemy.
He and Aislin, as the two most powerful disciples under Root, actually had a division of labor in certain matters.
On the apprentice's side, because of Aislin's old problems, he is basically in charge...and then the low-level resources related to the apprentice, as well as the connection with the outer ring mage of the magic tower, are all directly under his name.
Already.
Although he also leaves these matters to his students to manage, for him who is more inclined to go further on the road of mage, these are enough.
Anyway, these tasks are enough to ensure that he can see Teacher Root every once in a while... Root is a rare kind of archmage who must know the follow-up power of his faction.
The importance he attaches to his apprentices is the reason why the Root faction has never had any obvious disputes.
After all, in the magic tower, fair resource distribution is enough for most mages to live quite comfortably.
In fact, Oliva is quite satisfied with the scope of his power, but Aislin is not willing to believe it... If the woman's persecution fantasy can be used to look at the face of the young guy, how could so many bad things happen!
It was used in the most useless place. If he really wanted to compete with her... Hehe~ With that woman offending most of his junior brothers and sisters, Oliva would definitely be able to seize the right to allocate high-level resources.
.
But for Oliva, apart from the good name, this job has no other benefits at all...I can't say there are none at all~ I can still get rid of some leftovers.
But if something like that is of some value to an intermediate mage, what does it mean to him?
But if something goes wrong because of this... the students of Master Lute rarely see their teacher, but that doesn't mean they can't be found when something happens.
Aisling has done so many things, apart from getting a nice name and a sense of awe from ordinary mages, what other benefits does it have?
If it were him, he would have already pushed these messy tasks to his junior brothers and sisters who were willing to take a hand, so why be so defensive?
But Oliva actually doesn't understand Aisling's choice at all...because of her emotional mess, Aisling is a little insecure.
Therefore, she sought a sense of existence from the person she respected and trusted the most.
This was the reason why she made such a big mistake regarding her apprentices, and why Archmage Lute only gave those apprentices to others to teach, instead of depriving her of other rights.
Then, as Aisling failed to fall in love again and again... The weird thing is that she can even raise pretty boys with the most crooked ambitions... Her reliance on power and desire for control became more and more important.
powerful.
So strong that Aisling can even rely on this unparalleled willpower and her decent talent to achieve a promotion speed similar to Oliva's.
Oliva watched Aislin reach the eighth ring relying on this inexplicable will... Such things can happen, and it is even less possible for Root to take action against her strange desire for power.
Although among the eight-ring mages, Aisling may be the most useless, because she can't figure out which law she resonates with so much... Therefore, she can't even be expected to participate in such serious matters as summoning meteorites.
.
But it’s still an eighth ring anyway.
Root still cherishes it.
Besides, no matter how much he likes strong people and smart students, it is impossible for Root not to like students like Aislin who almost put his future on his hands.
At most, it's just a little helpless sometimes.
On the other hand, Oliva, who has summoned meteorites several times, is more concerned about his own future... He is the kind of student that Root naturally likes. Unfortunately, he is more self-centered.
If the teacher gives orders, he will do it, but other times, Oliva pays more attention to himself.
But it was also because of Oliva's indifferent attitude that he could instantly understand why Aisling was hostile to Gilbert... Gilbert, who grew up in a noble world, had no problem dealing with others or dealing with complex matters.
Everything is done very well.
He doesn't even need to do anything on his own, as there are also low-level mages and apprentices from the Heinalson family who are very good at internal affairs!
Their abilities are much better than Aislin's grassroots team who can't even understand trash like Pruitt and Rolando.
And Gilbert is very likely to get involved in the distribution of power in the Root camp for the sake of the future of the Heinalson family.
With his temper, he would speak directly if he wanted to...and with Teacher Root's preference for Gilbert, it was entirely possible for him to hand over matters such as internal and external intelligence analysis and contact negotiations to him.
So, what else can Aisling do?
Are those high-level resources allocated carefully?
Although Oliva didn't think Archmage Root would do this, after all, they all understood that this was the foundation of Aislin's identity... But Aislin, she actually didn't know anything.
Otherwise, she would not be able to understand her eighth-ring spell even now.
She didn't even think about which one she should learn... Anyway, she didn't learn any shaping spells.
Others cannot help with matters related to the law, even if Root has touched the Nine Rings.
------------------
Of course Aisling didn't understand what Oliva meant when he looked at her with complicated eyes, she was just furious.
Even though she had known that Gilbert would never let this matter go easily after he came out, she still felt that she had been offended beyond tolerance.
How to put it... With her superficial grasp of people's hearts, she felt that Gilbert would only say some cruel words to her, and give some warnings not to attack anyone related to Heinalson again in the future.
But it's definitely not this kind of insinuation in front of the teacher... No, it's almost a direct mockery of her lack of brains, and he even dares to roll his eyes at her!
She is the eighth ring!
It is the eighth ring that can double the power of seven-ring spells!
But Aisling also understands that more importantly than her anger, what is more important now is the answer Root wants from Gilbert.
This was the reason why Gilbert dared to openly provoke a mage who was stronger than him.
As long as Aisling still understands the importance, she will not be able to find trouble with Gilbert at this time.
And when Gilbert finished speaking, Root, who understood how big of a mistake Aisling had made... would naturally take her back and teach her a lesson.
After everything calmed down, it was impossible for her to trouble Gilbert again without having an attack on the spot.
Unless she wants to be given up by Root... Actually, Aislin quite understands their teacher's bottom line.
The reason why she dared to act recklessly in the past was naturally because Root only cared about the faction and the rising stars, not the life of any apprentice.
Aislin's expression was unkind, but she still remained surprisingly silent.
Then it was replaced by Gilbert's clearer sneer.
"So, Gilbert, can you talk to me first?" Root sat down helplessly and said softly, "Aisling, you did something wrong again.
Seeing that she...is really a bit stupid and has almost become a recognized joke inside and outside the Magic Tower, you can let this matter go for now..."
"Teacher!" Aislin shouted dissatisfied.
"What are you shouting for...why do you think I came late even though I had something to do?" Root said angrily, "You made a mistake in your judgment and even Kamanteta had the honor to write me a sincere letter.
Letter of explanation.
Although he was scolding Pruitt for his stupidity and betrayal in the letter, you should understand what he really meant between the lines, right?
He was asking me, how should I treat you, this time you have done everything, but you have accomplished nothing!"
Aislin's face instantly turned pale.
Hilbert couldn't help but laugh: "That's not the case, we got nothing, there are so many test subjects!"
