"Ah... no wonder you trust Gilbert so much." Nicholson laughed.
If Gilbert is just too good at standard runes, then based on Root's character, even if the soul mark is okay, he will repeatedly confirm it... and always doubt Gilbert.
However, what the child obviously has a deeper grasp of is the original runes of their world!
After all, if Gilbert is really replaced, it will only be in the past few years...especially since he suddenly completed the most difficult thing with the lowest probability: repairing the spiritual sea.
Although Gilbert, the kid, has always lived in seclusion and rarely had contact with outsiders, Root would actually ask him and some people who were more familiar with mental spells to check on Gilbert every once in a while.
In fact, it's not like they really didn't help, otherwise Gilbert wouldn't be promoted to the fifth level... But the method of giving pain relief wherever it hurts became more and more useless as time went by.
.
Root had no choice but to give up in the end.
If it were...heh...a normal world, then unlucky guys like Gilbert would actually have a way out: becoming a necromancer.
Although the necromancer also relies heavily on the spiritual sea, it requires a transformation from the living to the immortal.
When this kind of transformation occurs, the energy of the spiritual sea can almost be regarded as a complete transformation...it needs to be connected to the Styx River, and the power of the Styx River is naturally not something that can be affected by small vibrations.
However, in the era when Gilbert lived, the most unlucky people were the necromancers.
Lute would rather let him take the risk and take that ghost potion than hope that his student would end up with the only option of soul self-destruction.
Of course, if at that time, he knew that there was still a black dragon that he didn't know whether it was a real black dragon, he might have allowed Gilbert to choose a safer path.
Although they don't really care about their students as much as they appear on the surface, they are still willing to give their care to these children before they make mistakes.
Especially a child like Gilbert, who although has a bad temper, is very kind-hearted.
If it weren't for the fact that Gilbert was only suitable for guys like Root, Nicholson actually thought about taking him into his hands... After all, Gilbert should have something in common with him in terms of family values.
Although he did not dare to say out loud the thought that Root would laugh loudly if he heard it, Nicholson could not hide his envy: "Gilbert, you are such a talented child.
It's such a pity...if..."
Of course Root understood the meaning of his words: The only reason why Gilbert had to take risks at a young age despite having outstanding talent was that his real talent lay in the defensive system.
Just like that Feliz, if he had been exposed to the soul-based meditation method of the Tower of Black Mystery at the beginning, there was no way he would not have been able to advance to a high-level apprentice before the age of 16.
Gilbert was much better than Felice... He was definitely a high-level apprentice at that time, but the requirements of the Tower of Despair were too high.
But everyone also understands the reason why the Heinalson family went straight to the Tower of Despair...the only ones they can reach safely are the Tower of Despair and the Tower of Black Mystery.
However, the decline of the Black Mystery Tower was already obvious at that time, and people with any sense would not drag their families and families to come to them.
Not to mention, the future of Black Mystery Tower is obviously Thea Tower.
How could the Heinalson family be willing to go to the Tower of Siya to be their grandson?
They were once a dominant aristocratic force!
In the end, it could only be reduced to this point.
To be honest, Nicholson never thought that this family would one day stand up.
The Tower of Seiya did let them go on the surface, but with so many members of their family having mage talents, Gilbert was the only one with such a hope...or it could be simply called the fish that didn't fall into the fishing net...
You can understand how clean they are.
Therefore, it doesn’t actually matter whether there are many people alive or not. What matters is what kind of people survived.
Such a Heinalson family, even if it has been replaced by a new generation, they must still hate it in their hearts.
Nobles are inherently creatures that hold grudges about the past.
Therefore, no one will be surprised that Gilbert chose to keep his family in the Tower of Black Mystery this time.
Those who leave their families and give up the Heinalson surname just to go to the Tower of Siya are really heartless... But thinking about his own Nicholson family, the Archmage is not incapable of understanding.
Surnames and bloodlines can sometimes be parallel lines.
It's just that it would be easier for people who are not related by blood to give up their surname.
The Heinalson family will let him do whatever he wants, probably because Gilbert doesn't want to shoulder so many useless responsibilities.
"Gilbert, you really care more about your family than I do!" He couldn't help but sigh.
Lute suddenly turned his head.
"What's that expression on your face?"
"Although Gilbert is not that mature yet, you also... don't look down on him so much, okay?" Root summarized the words with difficulty.
"What are you talking about?" Nicholson was a little angry... It was okay for Kamanteta to cause trouble for him, but why did Root do this too!
"Huh?" Root observed his expression, "Who else told you this?
Camante tower?
Ah... Although that guy is not a good character, he has really good eyesight!
Fortunately, he returned to normal when he saw your true nature, otherwise, you would have raised so many people in vain."
Nicholson said angrily: "I am still very good to obedient children!"
Root didn't bother to argue with him: no one fell instantly, they all made mistakes step by step.
If someone is willing to stop him before he makes a mistake for the first time and carefully leads him to the right path, Root believes that most people will recover from their mistakes.
As for those who don’t want to look back at all, then it’s normal to give up.
But Nicholson didn't care about anything and just let those people go... Of course, this approach was indeed in line with his style of a prophetic mage.
After losing his main inheritance, Nicholson could only choose students in this way: people with the gift of prophecy will inevitably be good at avoiding the worst results.
However, when the children are not yet mature, they are allowed to make choices according to their own hearts... Even Root, who always felt that he was ruthless, felt that Nicholson had no heart at all.
In this way, he actually compared himself with Gilbert, who was willing to sacrifice his future for the sake of his family... Even though his abilities were different, it was too insulting to Gilbert.
"It seems that you and Camanteta have really reconciled temporarily this time?" Root asked the question that he was more concerned about.
"What can I do?" Nicholson sneered, "The students can still be found in the future, but if I die... nothing will be left."
"The Tower of Sea, before the dragon was pinned to death, must have been very good to us." Root said slowly, "You can tell a little bit about it during this period, right?"
"So, what happened to Aisling?"
"You can actually see that?"
"Lute, I'm not stupid!
Moreover, my intuition will tell me the closest answer."
"The intuition of a prophecy mage... How many things have you predicted accurately so far?"
"The existence of the Heinalson family will give us hope. Am I wrong? Look, your magic circle... Hehe, even the Tower of Despair will envy you!"
"Don't forget, you also said that the Heinalson family can indeed bring some hope, but it also brings more despair!
Over at the Tower of Despair, the decision to give up on Gilbert in the end has something to do with your outrageous prophecy?"
"Am I wrong? Hope and despair... originally come at the same time.
Otherwise, why are you looking so lifeless?
Don't change the subject, what's going on with Aisling?"
