It's not because there are few, but because this is the only time he has to go all out to condense the crystals.
After all, the world now only needs him as a marker for a short period of time.
When the number of dead people increases in the future, as the Lord of Death, he will inevitably start to absorb and decompose the energy of death. Even if he still sits in the Bone Tower and does not go out, he will have a lot more work.
As for the Nether Crystal, all it requires is concentrated time, and it won't be possible to refine it faster just because Gilbert becomes stronger.
After all, it is the water of the Styx.
The God of Death can only use the relationship established between himself and Styx's will to refine the materials that are part of Styx's body, and it has nothing to do with their own strength.
The Nether Crystal is actually one of the proofs of whether the Death God in this world is orthodox... Gray Eagle simply can't do it.
However, Naraku doesn't even have his own city of death, he still lives in a moving castle, not to mention the Netherworld Crystal.
It's actually quite remarkable to be able to make a god of death do nothing for 50 years and just refine the Nether Crystal for him.
Moreover, Gilbert's request was not to ask Hill to take care of Root at all times, but to prevent him from really risking his life in this battle of revenge.
Obviously, what Gilbert is afraid of is not that Root will inevitably enter the River Styx in the future, but that he is worried that Root will become his direct subordinate.
If you just take a job in the City of Death, it won't actually have any impact.
The City of Death is a conceptual existence.
Once the undead exceeds the capacity limit, an attached city will be immediately copied for diversion.
If they were not judged as souls that needed to be punished, they would definitely have to stay in the City of Death until the power of their souls was completely eliminated.
Other worlds just lack one trial stage.
But they will also be able to, no, I should say can separate out the annexed city to accommodate the undead waiting for the last moment.
It's just that most Shinigami won't do that.
After all, the appearance of each annexed city not only requires them to pay more attention, but also divides a large part of their divine power.
Otherwise, how could a place like Toril only have a city of death?
The River Styx has been blocked several times!
How many worlds are like this one, where even the God of Death himself feels that he will be very idle in the future?
If you want to increase the number of undead souls to the point where they can appear in the attached city, Gilbert must have great power!
Therefore, as long as Root does not die in this battle of revenge, things will be easier to handle in the future.
After all, Lute is also a nine-ring mage.
Without losing his mind, how could he fight with anyone in the future?
Although this world will become very dangerous in the future, no matter how many people die, it actually has nothing to do with the people in this world... It is estimated that most people will die.
Hill actually wants this Netherworld Crystal.
It's not because he still has any illusions, but... he doesn't know if this thing is useful to Crystal Flower and Aglaia.
If no one mentioned this, Hill himself would definitely not be able to remember it.
He actually understands the horror of water, even if it is not ice, and there is no need to rely on the Netherworld Crystal to experience the silent and cold cruelty.
But now that he was reminded that there is such a thing in the multiverse, Hill still wanted it.
Although he has already prepared gifts for his relatives and friends, wouldn't it be better to have more special ones?
But Hill also felt that these things were not too important to him and had no value for him to waste his time.
Hill thought for a while and gave Gilbert a semi-affirmative answer: If Root found the real murderer in the Tower of Despair before Russell and Carpenter completed the construction of the Magic Tower, then Hill would
He will take action himself when Root is in danger.
However, if this happens too late, Hill will not pay more attention to it.
Although Hill didn't know why Gilbert was unwilling to entrust these matters to William and his undead, it was actually just those reasons.
The most likely thing is that Gilbert is worried that what William and the undead are interested in is not the Nether Crystal, but the City of Death.
The name Undead is actually an irritation to the Death God series.
Hill initially thought William would change it after leaving Trahill.
After all, those who generally like to describe themselves as immortal are undead creatures.
In the past, there was no Styx in Trasil that could accommodate the temporary existence of undead, and because of the special properties of the world, the birth of undead was suppressed... A world with strong vitality and excessive elemental energy would be the first place where undead appear.
Breaking it down... So, the understanding of immortality must be different from other worlds.
However, even after arriving in Toril, William did not change.
Hill thought that this should be related to the past encounters of the God of Time and Space.
According to the current level of activity of the undead, if their time and space game can really persist for several generations, then the mortal concept of "immortality" is likely to undergo a huge change.
This almost forces some guys who call themselves the 'Immortal King' to change their names.
But until then, there is certainly no way to avoid the situation where anyone who is a god of death will become alert when hearing the words "undead".
Based on Hill's understanding of William, he has absolutely no interest in caring about the cities of death in other worlds. At most, he is curious about what the city looks like.
My dear, there will be more after this chapter, please click on the next page to continue, there will be more exciting things to come!
Therefore, he simply told Gilbert that if he was willing to accept that after Hill left, William and the undead would take over the matter of saving Root's life, then Hill would agree to his request.
It all depends on which side Gilbert chooses.
Should we insist on being vigilant against William, or...
But before Hill's talk even started, Gilbert came out with an unequivocal word: He is willing.
But Gilbert still believed in Hill more.
No, it should be said that Gilbert only wanted to trade the Nether Crystal to Hill, not William.
Hill could see his little thoughts at a glance.
Within one hour after the Nether Crystal is sent from the hand of the Death God that condenses him, people can sense the level of the Death God's power source... After all, they are resonating with the Styx.
Gilbert didn't care whether Hill would give these crystals away in the future, but he didn't want William to feel his true nature.
Just like those gods of death in Toril, some represent the 'cruelty of death' and some represent the 'fairness of death'. When Gilbert first took over the position of the god of death, he must have only understood and accepted the concept of death. Partial departure.
After all, he is not a born god of death, so it is difficult for him to understand and accept all the laws and attributes of death from the beginning.
Gilbert is really a very thoughtful natural mage.
However, Hill thought about it again and couldn't help laughing... But for this kind of Gilbert, he would rather expose his true nature to Hill than accept his past teacher as his follower.
Logically speaking, this is recognition of Hill's character... But Hill had no time to think about whether he was proud or not. He just wanted to laugh.
Moreover, Hill suddenly had a feeling that even if he didn't take action, Root would probably survive.
As Gilbert, who has collected the last bit of luck in the world, his only wish that comes from the heart is probably quite easy to come true.
Hill, who felt that he could win by lying down, would certainly smile happily.
At the rate Russell and Carpenter are building the Magic Tower, Hill still has at least a month and a half.
Don't look at the lower floors, they are doing it very quickly, but that's because they haven't reached the level of the alchemy laboratory yet.
Therefore, there is only one thing that Hill needs to do now: issue a mission to the undead and ask them to help Root find the real murderer and where the murderer behind the scenes has escaped.
Although the undead had already gone to the Tower of Despair to ambush before Vecna took action, but with their ability, they could never be foolproof.
As long as someone wants to run away, they can easily do so.
Of course, that would require a sharp mind... In other words, running away when Vecna and Shar start a war.
It definitely didn't work before, that guy Vic was very shady.
Not even after that.
The reason why Root didn't come here immediately was because he asked the two factions from the Tower of Black Mystery to help surround the outside of the Tower of Despair.
There is no need for them to start a fight, they just need to set off a big firework to notify someone when they find someone escaping from the undead encirclement.
The undead are just relatively unorganized and cannot always be alert to their surroundings, but they don't know where the enemy is yet can't kill them.
You know, those squatting there are surrounded by tens of millions of high-level professionals. Even if there are a few false nine rings on the Tower of Despair, they can't withstand the mindless encirclement of these many people.
Otherwise, the Black Rose would not be the only main combat force left outside the refugee camp of the Defense Tower.
The undead know very well which one has more experience.
There are only a few construction tasks in the Tower of Dawn and Russell, so it would be better to squat in the Tower of Despair and block people.

"There's a mission from Hill." The 'Old Sanda King' took a tablet and informed his companions who were in chaos around him.
“Eh?” ‘An idler’ asked a little puzzled, “Why does Hill care about the Black Mystery Tower?
Is it possible that an old lover is here?"
"What stupid things are you talking about?" The 'Old Sanda King' jumped up and slapped him on the back of the head, "Don't hurt us if you are seeking death!"
"Ah~ I have been chatting with that Roxas." 'Demon Sword' interrupted with interest, "I heard that one of Roxas's students has a little King Kong Lolita who admires Hill very much."
"What does that have to do with Hill?" 'Xiao Yoyo' said speechlessly, "Stop fantasizing about it, it's not like Hill can't find a girlfriend.
