He is quite embarrassed now... If he goes out before Pruitt is killed, it would be a bit like he came out specially to share the spoils.
But if he didn't show up, it wouldn't be in line with Gilbert's vengeful personality.
With all the bad things Pruitt has done, it's understandable that he can endure a moment of anger for his own future, but in the final stage of the recovery period, he still doesn't come out to add insult to injury and give that fool a ride... Gilbert just recovered.
, it’s not that he has changed as a person.
But Hill is a person who hates fools the most and is very reluctant to be associated with fools.
After being in a dilemma for a while, he suddenly remembered something... Gilbert seemed to have a teacher.
He also plans to let the Heinalson family move into the outer area of the Black Mystery Tower. Although he has a tacit understanding with Root on this matter, and has initially completed negotiations with Aisling... But according to normal etiquette
, he also had to talk to Gilbert’s teacher first.
Although the process is boring and trivial to everyone, and seems to be just something that causes trouble for oneself... But as long as you are in the order camp, following the process is the most correct choice.
Hill does love freedom, but that doesn't mean he doesn't respect the order that others have worked so hard to achieve.
The more world he travels, the more he understands that for ordinary people, he can only have his own deck if he stays on a big ship that has its own chain of order and is always moving forward.
Although the feeling of stagnation when the ship cannot move is also very painful, as long as the chain is still there, they can always turn to a direction that can move forward.
Just like the world right now.
It looks lifeless, but it's not completely hopeless.
But absolute freedom, just like the kind of anarchy advocated by the toads that is more terrifying than the bottomless abyss... is the end of ordinary people.
Without power and without a chain to live in, how can ordinary people find their own way?
Those who can go out actually have something extraordinary about them.
If Hill's compliance with the rules and orders set by others in the past was more due to his upbringing and natural cultivation in his previous life, then now he truly respects the order itself.
This may be a bit strange, but they are indeed two different feelings.
Of course, Hill himself still cannot be classified as the order camp... because although he respects the order of others, he is not willing to let himself be bound, and has no interest in establishing his own order.
Listen to what you want to hear, see what you want to see, do what you want to do... in the end you can only stand neutral.
Indeed, no part of his travels was in vain.
------------------
Russell didn't know what to do with the letter in his hand.
Aislin, no, this should be a meeting invitation she sent out on the order of Archmage Luter to all direct disciples who are qualified to enter Archmage Luter's study.
Russell didn't understand why he sent it to Gilbert who clearly claimed to be in retreat.
He was really worried that his teacher's identity was suspected... The other party needed confirmation before sending such a thing.
However, this matter is not something he can decide.
Touching the desk in front of him, Russell fell into deep thought on the chair.
"Why are you in a daze there?"
A gentle voice interrupted his thoughts.
"Teacher?" Russell raised his head suddenly.
Mage 'Gilbert' was floating gently in front of him, his light brown robe moving automatically without any wind.
"Why did you come out?" Russell asked with a surprised smile, "So early...you have already..."
"Ah, with good luck, it can be regarded as a seventh-level spell, but I still need to study the seventh-level spell for a while.
It's not as easy as I thought." Even though he was satisfied with Russell's sensitivity, Hill was not prepared to admit it directly.
There are some things that are said publicly and known to each other, which are not the same thing after all.
Of course Russell couldn't imagine the real reason why Hill chose to continue to conceal his identity... In his heart, his teacher was the one in front of him. Since the other party didn't want to explain clearly, he just had to wait.
Russell believes that one day it will happen.
His teacher's patience is actually not very good. Otherwise, how could he have come out nearly three months in advance?
However, is there something wrong with the seventh-level spell?
Does that mean that all middle and low-level spells have been studied and understood?
Russell's biggest worry during this period was this: Was his talent as a teacher the highest standard in the world outside the multiverse, or an excellent example?
At the very least, he can still count on his talent to be not too bad.
But if he is excellent...then is he not qualified to be his teacher's outer circle disciple?
Russell, as a standard magic tower mage, wholeheartedly agrees with the traditional concepts of 'teacher and student are a two-way choice' and 'standards are the biggest difficulty'.
A mage who is willing to accept favors will inevitably have mixed students. No matter how good he is, students with outstanding talents may not be able to learn from him... However, only this kind of mage can learn from students who do not meet the standards.
Hope.
A mage who follows the standards completely is the most helpless existence.
No matter how much he appreciates your character and your conduct, he will never break his own standards for you.
Although he had not been in contact with his teacher for a long time, Russell always had a feeling...this 'Gilbert' was a person who had his own pace and was difficult to impress.
He may appreciate Russell and even be willing to teach him...but more depends on Russell's own abilities.
Russell always felt that he did not meet the standard, but it was still possible to strive for the qualification of an outer ring mage... He really wanted to be a student with the true identity of 'Gilbert', even if he was just a nominal outsider.
It’s also okay for students.
He suddenly remembered the letter he had just received, and immediately picked it up and presented it with both hands: "Teacher, this is the invitation letter for the meeting sent by Archmage Aislin.
I'm hesitating whether to alarm you or not."
Hill waved, and the letter fell lightly into Russell's hand with envy in his eyes... In the process, he also removed the outer metal envelope and automatically unfolded the letter paper.
"Don't be so envious." Hill glanced at him with a smile: "If you use the hands of a mage to the point of understanding it, you will naturally be able to do this.
It's not enough to have strong mental power alone, it must also be refined enough.
You can practice more usually and pay attention to keep your mental strength, toughness, sensitivity and flexibility in a balanced state."
Russell nodded seriously: "Yes, teacher."
Although he has spent most of his energy on learning all the magic during this period, he does still have a little bit of energy left to use during his break... For example, like a teacher, he can get used to using the hands of a mage to pick up books instead of labor.
My own feet and hands.
He also understood why the teacher didn't say this to him before.
As a teacher, although he was very serious when teaching, he occasionally neglected some principles that he thought people should understand.
However, he seemed to understand a little bit about his characteristics in this area, so he kept telling Russell to ask him if he had any questions.
However, Russell felt that he was quite able to accept this teaching method.
After all, his teacher was really knowledgeable and would never just answer a single question to any of his questions.
He will dig out the root cause of why Russell is confused about this issue, and start from the rules... Although Russell is very tired from listening, and can't even think about it, he will wait until he goes back to review it.
It's really cool when I do it.
Every word can make his mental energy beat.
While Russell lowered his head to think about it, Hill couldn't help but sneered after reading the letter: "This doesn't seem to be what the teacher meant!
