Coyle tried his best to lower his head lower, not even daring to take a breath.
Roxas behind him never raised his head from the beginning.
Logically speaking, Coyle and Rojas not only accepted a fatal mission, but escaped with luck and Russell's help, and then honestly established their front line before Root arrived. The information was prepared perfectly, and they shouldn't behave like this.
However, the two people who had personally collected all the information in this notebook did not want to show their presence at all.
In fact, it can be seen from some of the performances of Aisling and Oliva that although Root is very good to his students, he is also very traditional.
Root has really insisted on some master-disciple etiquette that other mages don't care much about...maybe because he hopes to use these to commemorate the good things in the past.
Like today, he didn't say anything, and he didn't wait for Oliva to help him deliver the news like in the past. This only proves that Root's emotions are completely out of control.
Even when he was in the Tower of Thea, watching Aisling turn from his disciple to a time bomb, his performance was still very stable... Even though he had been trying to find a way to help Aisling find a chance of survival, Root was still able to maintain his stability. Keep that calm and composed look.
Coyle already knew his teacher a little bit, so he knew even more that the current Root would definitely explode.
Even if Root later figures out that Coyle and Rojas did nothing wrong, so what?
Coyle knew that Root would definitely provide a lot of good resources as compensation, and would even sincerely apologize.
But he still didn't want to suffer that crime.
Even Oliva, who was the most arrogant, walked back without saying a word!
I don’t know if he misses Aisling very much.
Usually at this time, the only person who can break this terrible atmosphere is the lady.
As for Gilbert, who has a more special status, the relationship between him and Root is actually more complicated.
In fact, Coyle would not regard that as Root's closest and most trusted student.
He always felt that the reason why Root was so kind to Gilbert after his mental state was damaged was because he had a compensatory mentality.
Especially after getting more information recently, Coyle feels this way even more... It is inevitable that the Heinalson family will be assigned to the Black Mystery Tower. What happened to Gilbert? Isn’t sin in vain?
With his qualifications, it is entirely possible to complete the advancement of a high-level apprentice before arriving at the Tower of Black Mystery.
However, if you want the Heinalson family to be taken away by the Black Mystery Tower to seem natural enough, then you must create a situation where they have no choice but to risk their lives but miss a move.
At that time, Gilbert was actually quite certain that he could succeed in taking the risk... He was not really a fool.
It is normal to fight for the family, but when the family still has a chance of survival, he will definitely not take 50% risk.
Therefore, Gilbert's failure was so tragic at that time.
Many people think that he lost control of the vortex of the spiritual sea because he was too nervous and under too much pressure.
Many people behind the Black Mystery Tower felt that Root had too high a view of Gilbert. Isn't it because they felt that this guy was too reckless and didn't have enough control over himself? In fact, he didn't have much of a future in the first place!
It was because Root's senior brothers and sisters were people like Oliva and Aisling that everyone felt that Root's cherishment of Gilbert was understandable.
Although that guy has a bad temper and is stubborn to the point of being reckless, he is much better than those two people in his conduct and work.
I don’t know how many people think that if the first disciple is Gilbert, the forces under Root will definitely be stronger!
But in the past few days following the undead, Coyle saw many secrets that he could not see in the past.
He found that Root was really a very strange person.
Root felt truly guilty towards the people who suffered misfortune because of some of his actions... of course, only the people he liked.
I will definitely give some compensation within my ability.
Moreover, this kind of compensation is not to appease the other party, he just gives it to himself and that's it.
Moreover, he will not feel that he does not owe the other party just because he gives this compensation.
Whenever possible, he will definitely treat the other person well.
For example, Gilbert’s particularity in the division.
But even if he felt guilty and needed to do something to Gilbert, Root would never fail to do it... At most, he would give some compensation later.
Coyle now really understands why Gilbert has clearly become that powerful being and has no idea of dealing with the teacher who was good to him in the past.
Although he has more contact with Hilbert, Coyle is still quite confident in his own eyesight... With a being like Archmage Hill, he will never get along with someone he doesn't like. There is some intersection, let alone pretending to be the other person's identity.
In other words, Gilbert can never be a person without a bottom line.
But Coyle only heard that he seemed to have given something to the Heinalson family, but he did not appear in front of the tower owners of the Black Mystery Tower.
Of course, Gilbert didn't show any mercy. On the surface, he still took care of the Black Mystery Tower.
That is, he didn’t express much towards his ‘mentor’.
At that time, Coyle just thought that Gilbert would be like this because he was given up by Root and the Black Mystery Tower... He must have been replaced by Archmage Hill because he couldn't last.
Coyle, a good communicator, has such a cold relationship with such an important being as Gilbert, isn't it because in his heart, Gilbert will be a dead man sooner or later!
The people in the Black Mystery Tower all have similar ideas to him.
Although Gilbert has obviously been abandoned by most of the family, it is different to be connected by blood, not to mention that his direct relatives are still in Heinelsen!
However, if all this is a trap from the beginning... it may not make any difference to the Heinalson family, but to Gilbert, then...
Coyle himself is also a person who pursues the path of mage very much, so even thinking about it makes him feel terrible.
Therefore, Coyle is really afraid of Root.
He is not afraid of bad people.
Someone wants to trick him or kill him, so what?
There are no people in this world who can live comfortably...including the children of big families and the direct descendants of the mage.
Everyone is struggling to live.
Life is important, but not that important.
It just depends on what kind of enemy and what kind of situation you are facing.
But Coyle, who like Root... knew the cause and effect, admired him very much, but he really felt that it was better to stay away.
If, before he knew everything, he was still thinking about how to use his experiences during this period to gain benefits from Root after returning, at this moment, Coyle just planned to live his ordinary life!
Upgrading a little slower, and the 9th level is far away, is better than following a teacher who puts revenge above all his emotions and reason.
Not to mention, the same Lute who has suffered an unimaginable blow and whose tens of thousands of years of life have been wasted.
Coyle lowered his head and glanced at Oliva with a determined expression on his face from the corner of his eye, and Roxas who was trembling slightly behind him... Anyway, it didn't matter if he took a step back, Root was always around. There are people who are willing to follow.
Coyle doesn't find Oliva's choice surprising.
Although their senior brother is a brainless thing, he absolutely and sincerely respects Root... Although he will not love what the teacher loves, he will definitely hate what the teacher hates.
Coyle didn't know what was going on with Roxas.
This female mage was obviously similar to him at the beginning, she only wanted to protect herself.
But after seeing that information, I don’t know why I can resonate with Root so much.
Coyle guessed that it was just those things... Roxas didn't seem to be from the Black Mystery Tower, but came from other realms.
That trap in the Tower of Despair might also be a trap in her hometown.
There must be a reason why she cherishes her female apprentices and doesn't have much contact with other mages of the same level.
On the contrary, Coyle can better understand those unscrupulous female mages who live... If Aisling had not played herself into it, her way of teasing pretty boys would be more in line with the behavior pattern of a powerful female mage.
Wait, who is that?
Coyle's eyes were fixed on a fifth-level mage behind Oliva.
Why did Felice Henarsson follow?
Root can't expect Russell and Carpenter to sacrifice their own interests to help Feliz, right?
Judging from Coyle's contact with the brother and sister during this period, they are indeed not that cruel, but they can firmly guard their bottom line.
Even if they know that Feliz is in danger, their more likely choice is to pay to hire the undead to save Feliz's life.
Moreover, it must be done under the condition that Felice is honest and obedient.
Coyle looked up in confusion and glanced at Root, who was turning over the book and his expression was getting worse and worse, almost the same color as the gray-black ground... Is there something that he didn't notice?
------------------
Root is actually much calmer than others think.
In the past, he always thought that he still had a future, always hoped that he could survive and lead the Black Mystery Tower further, so he always had to consider a lot when doing things.
He knew that he had harmed many people and saved many.
Although there are many things that we have no choice but to do... But Root has always known that evil is evil.
If he didn't have persistence and hope in his heart, he would have been unable to persist.
Root was selected in the first place just because he had a conscience... Otherwise, it would be of no use even if the teachers and commanders were nice to him.
