Chapter 529: Our allies are not our own

Hilbert said casually: "If you want to get more, you have to give up some unnecessary things.

Are you still short of money now?"

Coyle's problem is that he may have had too little in the past, so he couldn't easily give up what he already had in his hands.

Regardless of whether it is good or bad, it is always something that belongs to him.

The most difficult thing when a poor person suddenly becomes rich is that he is too greedy and cannot let go... He wants everything, wants to keep everything, and in the end he will only be dragged away by the past.

Not everyone in the past will be willing to watch you soar into the sky... There are shadows everywhere, and they are still entangled.

Of course, Hill had read a lot of these things in books, but could never understand them.

Until he became Hill himself.

Everything he encountered before becoming an adult at the age of 16 left him with little real sense of the wealth he possessed, and life in a noble castle was a kind of torture for him who had a good background in the past.

No matter how many servants he had, even if he, the second young master of the Earl's family, did not have to work hard, his life would not be as comfortable as the one he used to wallow in the construction site.

And when he started to enjoy his great wealth, there was a loud noise in the sky, and the undead were coming.

Where does Hill have time to think about enjoyment? The only way is to seize the time and advance quickly.

When he was finally able to enjoy life, Hill, who could already be called a strong man, no longer felt the importance of those so-called wealth.

Therefore, he himself has never experienced a dilemma like Coyle...what choice should he make, whether to give up the money that he could have continuously obtained.

Even if Coyle knows which choice is more beneficial to his future, he will always be reluctant to part with it.

Otherwise, he shouldn't have asked Hilbert at all.

As for the other temptations that Coyle didn't dare to say, Hilbert had no intention of paying any attention to them.

——

Coyle sighed slightly.

Although Gilbert didn't explain it too clearly, he actually pointed out the only way for him.

He was just a little regretful. It seemed that Gilbert still had no intention of letting the Heinalson family appear in the public eye.

Although he didn't say it explicitly, he was actually hinting to Gilbert that he had a trade route in his hands, and it was between the Tower of Black Mystery and other magic towers.

Otherwise, how could those greedy guys from the Nicholson family accept his investment... Besides, if he had so much capital, he wouldn't have to plan so hard for himself.

He had indeed made plans to divest from the Nicholson family caravan, but Coyle was really reluctant to completely abandon the established trade route.

But, how can I put it, with the Nicholson family all coming to the Tower of Seiya, it is no problem to reject the reason that the trade route must be very difficult... After all, it is not just Root's team that has been attacked.

.

I don’t know if it’s because there are many undead creatures buried on that road. Even though all those things were burned, sporadic undead creatures still appeared.

Therefore, Coyle used this reason to quit. As everyone said, even if the collaborator of the Nicholson family knew the real reason why he did so, he would not be too angry.

Then Coyle must not make any noise at the Tower of Thea.

Although the relationship between Archmage Root and Archmage Nicholson is a bit confusing, it is obvious that he still regards himself as a member of the Tower of Black Mystery... He is not a lunatic like Aisling, and he will definitely not offend anyone openly.

other side.

Coyle was still a little reluctant to let go, so he thought of the only way: to stay in the Black Mystery Tower and the Heinalson family, which had at least two serious mages.

Unfortunately, Gilbert didn't respond at all.

Coyle couldn't help but feel a little melancholy... Do these great nobles really have such deep backgrounds?

They don’t even consider how the family will continue in the future!

A mage, and so many mage apprentices, cannot be afforded by large fields of black taro.

——

Coyle's idea is actually not wrong.

If it were the real Gilbert sitting here, maybe he would have accepted this thrown hydrangea.

But Hilbert, who had fulfilled his agreement with Gilbert and even exceeded it by a large margin, how could he care about Heinalson's future?

It would be great if he could save the Heinalson family from this mess.

As for whether Russell will turn around and help his family in the future, that is his choice and has nothing to do with Hill.

Coyle sighed again before standing up: "Then I'll take my leave first.

I will ask Steen Laurie...you remember him, right? He is the apprentice I asked you to take care of, and he is also an official mage."

Looking at Gilbert's expressionless face, Coyle shook his head helplessly: "Forget it, although Steen's qualifications are good, they are just good.

It's normal if you don't remember.

Anyway, I will let him trade with Russell and give him a token of approval!"

"Carpenter." Hilbert said calmly, "Did you hear what Master Coyle said?

Go and explain to Russell."

The little girl ran out from the side of the high platform with a clear voice: "Yes, teacher!"

Master Coyle, which of your students is this?

Just ask him to come with me, Russell is waiting at the entrance of the Magic Tower!"

Coyle frowned slightly: What happened to the Heinalson family?

This Carpenter seems to be a little stronger than Steen.

Coyle was not too surprised to say that Steen was not as good as Russell... The resources that Gilbert could provide to his students were definitely much richer than him.

Even though Coyle didn't accept many students, and there were even fewer talented ones, what Steen could get from him was only a few tenths more.

The talent is slightly higher, but the resources of the other party are several times greater, not to mention that Gilbert is obviously good at teaching people... Coyle will never compare the two.

But what's going on with this Carpenter?

Obviously the last time I saw him at the entrance to the Tower of Seiya, he was not as strong as he is now!

At that time, this girl still had a sense of youth that she had just been promoted to an official mage, which was obviously later than Steen's promotion!

How long has it been?

Just when Coyle was about to turn around and ask Gilbert, his eyes froze on Carpenter's left hand... It was a brilliant steel ring with purple diamonds, very delicate and complicated.

Of course Coyle knew the origin of that thing, but he couldn't understand at all how someone could give such a precious ring to a junior mage!

But he could understand why this girl grew up so fast... He was even given a ring that only an eighth-ring mage could have, so why were there not enough resources?

"Gilbert, is this okay?" he asked hesitantly, "Aisling will be unhappy...right?"

"How weird? Why should I care whether she is happy or not?" Hilbert raised his eyebrows slightly, "I always thought you were the really weird ones.

You want to snatch the bread from her hand, but you are also afraid that she will see that you want it.

So how do you plan to rob it? Don’t even dare to look at it? Are you going to make a blind guess?

Waiting for someone to knock her palm over and then grab a random piece from the ground?

I really don’t understand.”

His cold eyes were filled with: Why would anyone want to eat such dirty food?

Coyle could only smile helplessly: "Gilbert, not everyone can live as proudly as you.

For us, living itself requires all our efforts.”

‘Haha~’ Hilbert laughed coldly, “It’s okay to lie to others~ Don’t even lie to yourself.”

Coyle suddenly laughed gently: "Thank you for the reminder, Gilbert.

I will try my best to get rid of those old habits and set myself higher."

Although Gilbert has a venomous mouth, his content always gets to the point... He doesn't lie, and what he criticizes is the most shameful part of people's hearts.

Of course, whether the listeners can bear their own darkness being brought out in public and criticized by others is another matter.

It's not like Coyle didn't know that Gilbert's magic tower hall may not be very safe... This guy didn't activate the full defense circle.

But those who can hear their conversation will not care about the content of their conversation.

When he really needed to keep something secret, Gilbert would go to the study.

And he doesn't have that qualification yet.

However, as long as you can accept Gilbert's speaking style, you can understand the deep meaning of his words.

Indeed, he, Coyle, must now change his behavior pattern in order to keep up with Archmage Lute.

To become the manager of the auxiliary tower, Root was just willing to give him a chance.

Just like Gilbert said, if he didn't even dare to look at the pile of bread in Aisling's hand, which he didn't hold the most firmly, what else could he do?

Master Lute will definitely not look down on those who pick up the bread that has fallen on the ground. This is how power is gradually delegated to the people.

But he will never take a fancy to it.

Coyle has done so many things, of course not, allowing himself to continue to be at the feet of others.

He thanked Gilbert again before Shi Shiran left.

——

"Teacher." After Carpenter brought the student designated by Coyle to Russell, he returned to the hall.

She has always had a question she wanted to ask.

"Um?"

"Why does Mr. Coyle have to draw a clear line between himself and the Nicholson family?" She asked very sincerely, "Arch Mage Nicholson is originally from the Tower of Black Mystery, but he is not Carman.

A being with a rather extreme personality like Archmage Teta... He also has a good relationship with Archmage Lute!"

Hill glanced at her. This girl must have been thinking of the Heinalson family.

"The place where he lives now is the auxiliary tower of Archmage Lute. It is an important stronghold that can directly enter the main tower." Hilbert smiled, "The allies are not our own."
