Chapter 471 The Tower of Theia is approaching step by step
Even though they completed all the tasks as required by 'Gilbert', Russell and Carpenter still didn't understand why time suddenly became so rushed.
It was even too late for them to return home.
Even though there are many last resorts and many precautions, Russell and Carpenter's family is already considered perfect in this world... In addition to satisfying their own interests, they can also spend part of their energy and affection on their children.
Parents, only families like Heinalson can exist.
It’s not that Russell and Carpenter don’t want to go back to see their families after becoming official mages, but who made the Black Mystery Tower so chaotic during that time!
With Gilbert avoiding them, it was even less likely that the two of them would take the initiative to contact the family.
This world is so cruel. When you can't decide the situation in one round, the more care you give, the greater the harm will be.
Human beings always know how to harm their own kind best.
Feliz is a lesson for them... They don't want to be like Feliz's mother, who has to give up her son to protect herself, without even making a weak effort.
Although if they really fight with those people, they may not be able to fight... Especially Gilbert, who is standing behind them, does not rely entirely on Root's care for his position in the Tower of Black Mystery.
But, that's not necessary.
Neither Carpenter nor Russell are the kind of people who forget about things just because they have gained a little power. Even if this is uncomfortable,... being able to recognize reality is also an advantage.
Even if they were able to win in the end, wouldn't it mean that those things that would be lost in the process, even the lives of the people they care about, were not sacrificed?
Although they were young and vigorous, they had some impulsive desires in their hearts, but the experiences of Felice, who had grown up together, made them make a sober decision.
After that, it was Russell's unlucky uncles who shocked them both...Really, even Carpenter couldn't understand what kind of self-aggrandizement made those people in Russell
He made such a stupid decision without even showing his face.
Although Ulrich did spare the lives of those people for Russell's sake, but... where was Russell's face?
Moreover, if someone is let off the first time, it may not be enough for the second time.
But, unfortunately, those who were spared the first time always want to try the second time.
Even Carpenter could think of this, how could Russell not know?
Therefore, even though Gilbert had officially come forward and even took Ulrich to choose a satisfactory place for the family to live, Russell did not go back to take a look.
Carpenter didn't even dare to go back... She didn't want to lie to her family, but she also didn't want to answer the questions they would inevitably ask about Felice.
It wasn't like she had never lied before, but why would she tell a lie if it would only be a lie once she spoke it.
Of course, Carpenter also felt that his behavior was a bit weak. If it were Russell, if he didn't want to say it, his family would not dare to ask... Although he dared to do harmful things behind his back, he was still quite honest in person.
of.
However, Carpenter knew very well that he and Russell were different.
Even if she is already a mage, it will be difficult to change the deep impression caused by those years of pretending to be nice on the outside.
Even her parents, who knew her a little bit, probably wouldn't be able to change their attitude towards her in a short time.
There is no way, Russell's talent has always been very good, and everyone knows that the worst outcome for him is to become the strongest mage apprentice like Ulrich.
That is to say, the kind of person who can use some other means to have the same lethality as a junior mage in a short period of time.
Therefore, when the Heinalson family members looked at Russell, they looked at the future family elder.
And she, Carpenter, had to work hard to prevent herself from being easily given away for marriage... Even if she had to get married, she still had to be a normal person.
Her acting skills are indeed very good, and most people think that if she gets married, she is likely to get into trouble... But in turn, many people feel that even if she becomes a mage now, she is still easy to fool around with.
Carpenter.
As long as you say something nice and compliment her well, she will naturally say what she shouldn't say.
When he thought of the various characters that would inevitably come like a wave, Carpenter felt that he could still wait.
They both had their own reasons, but they really didn't expect that they would not be able to go back.
Yes, Russell and Carpenter both understand that now, it is even more impossible for them to return to the family.
Without them, Ulrich can arrange the living distribution of the future mansion according to his rules.
But if they go back... Russell's uncle who made a mistake and Carpenter's complicated family members will all flock to them.
However, Carpenter and Russell knew very well that Ulrich had consulted with Gilbert about this matter and received permission...their teachers had prepared the magic array diagram for the mansion.
But talking about the magic circle would be even more troublesome.
Others... In the eyes of many people, as Gilbert's students, their status in Gilbert's eyes must be higher than that of Ulrich, who has been a junior mage all his life and is just a nephew.
If time permits, it is not impossible for them to solve these things... However, the time given by the Tower of Siya is only so little.
The outer circle mages were afraid that the Tower of Black Mystery would abandon them and leave on their own, and there had even been riots.
Moreover, there are also some rumors outside: The potions bought from the Tower of West Asia are too effective and will create a large number of pseudo-high-level mages in a short period of time. However, the Tower of West Asia is not willing to accept that these are not capable enough.
The mages who relied on Yao Minato suddenly summoned the Black Mystery Tower in advance.
As soon as this rumor came out, the three tower owners of the Black Mystery Tower directly stood up and expressed their denial, and directly stated that the soul potion would change a person's personality... This is not just about becoming cruel and ruthless.
To be clear, that is to deny all the past selves... We are all magicians, and what they have learned since childhood makes it impossible for them to understand the dangers of this.
Even if we don't mention the issue of the soul, if we are no longer the original self, we are still not the true self. Of course, mages will discuss this kind of philosophical issue from the bottom of their hearts.
But the ambiguous attitude of the Tower of Thea prevents the Tower of Black Mystery from promising anything related to the future to these outer ring mages... If the Tower of Thea does not allow mid-level mages and above to enter the inner ring, it will not allow them to enter the inner ring.
They learned the special spells of the Tower of Sea, and the three tower owners of the Black Mystery Tower had no solution.
Therefore, no matter what decision the outer ring mages make, the tower owners can only watch.
Previously, the little time and margin that was bought for the Tower of Darkness because of Felice, in this case, collapsed instantly.
Especially among the members of the two factions, Nicholson and Camanteta, many people began to play the game of planning for a rainy day.
If the Tower of Siya also has requirements for their level and ability, then they can't take a risk.
Although they understand the danger of this matter better than the outer circle mages... but people are inherently selfish.
What if he is just a little bit worse?
It's not like everyone can't resist the damage of this soul potion... As long as they take a little bit, it'll be fine, right?
Who can become an intermediate mage without confidence in the strength of his soul?
Hilbert looked at the chaotic scene outside with a bit of confusion: "What Feliz fought for was his own time.
Not from the Tower of Darkness."
"teacher?"
"The Tower of Black Mystery has been penetrated too much." Hilbert shook his head, "The little things discovered in advance are nothing in the face of the compressed time!"
"Then, what should we do?"
"Mages are supposed to look out for each other. Knowing this in advance is enough for those who are truly awake." Hilbert patted the crystal window in front of him, "As for those who can't figure it out.
...Sooner or later, you will die due to luck.
We just need to mind our own business.
Have you packed your things?"
"Yes, teacher, everything is packed."
Carpenter hesitated for a few minutes, then asked: "Teacher, can the standard rune magic books I copied from the big library be left on the bookshelf?"
Did she want to keep it for Felice to see?
This is nothing, she corrected it herself according to the standard runes, and it has nothing to do with Hill herself.
Hilbert said nonchalantly: "You sorted it out yourself, of course you can do whatever you want with it."
Capente nodded: "I will check it carefully, thank you teacher."
Of course, Carpenter knew that Gilbert wouldn't care about these little things, and wouldn't even care if she deliberately kept some marginal magic books...but she couldn't break the rules.
During this time, she thought a lot.
The style of doing things that she liked to step on the bottom line, which she once relied on for survival, has become a taboo in the magic tower.
From now on, she must strictly demand herself and restrain herself so that she can go smoothly in the future... instead of trying to get around things with cleverness whenever she encounters them.
