Rommel looked at the so-called trading goods from Gilbert in surprise.
After sending away the little mage who was looking around, he weighed the heavy silver box, closed the door and went upstairs with a trace of doubt.
Rommel had no followers or students.
Not only does he live alone in this magic tower, but even the puppets are spider-shaped primary types. They can only clean and organize simple housework, but cannot do more complicated things.
Such as receiving gifts.
These little spiders are not big, so they cannot open the door of the tall magic tower.
Of course Kamanteta mentioned asking his loyal subordinates to come and work for him, but... Rommel could swear that as long as he had an outsider here, when he refused to accept the mountains of gifts from outside, these people's
The end is only death.
As followers, their biggest mistake is not taking care of their master's daily chores.
Even if this is the master's signal.
The people who want to find reasons to warn Rommel are not just Gracia, nor are they only her male favorites.
Rommel couldn't move, so the people around him were naturally the best targets.
Demonstrations... No matter what the world is, this has always been the case.
Although Rommel did not need the gratitude of Camante's men, he was not interested in using other people's lives to increase the bloodshed of Gracia.
If you need to judge who the other person is, how far he can achieve it, and whether there are loopholes to be found, he certainly doesn't care about sacrificing other people's lives.
But since he already knew what Gracia was, he might as well accept the grateful gratitude from others.
However, there was one thing that was quite strange about Rommel.
Hill seemed a little too nice to Russell.
Of course he knew that the little bear could impersonate Gilbert, and it must have reached some agreement with the other party... Based on the story of Gilbert's past, Rommel could guess what kind of request Gilbert would make without much thought.
Therefore, he has never reacted to the presence of Russell and Carpenter.
After all, if it were him, he would also feel that cultivating a new future for the Heinalson family is the best solution.
The importance of that family has faded away after the Tower of Black Mystery fully entered the Tower of Thea.
As long as there is a mid-level mage, they can live a good life in the Tower of Black Mystery.
Rommel had no doubts about Hill's ability to train a serious five-ring mage.
However, after he formally met the child today, he discovered how much Hill really valued him.
That little bear really treated him as his disciple.
Some traces cannot be seen by outsiders, but to De La Cruz, who has trained a large number of mages and witnessed the growth of countless mages, those traces are extremely clear.
Hill definitely used the most stringent teaching method of Russell...that guy Frank taught this Russell the same educational policy for his direct disciples.
Instead, it was the Carpenter he saw last time, who looked a bit like a student at the Magic Tower.
According to Rommel's initial thoughts...Carpenter's position is where Russell should be.
He didn't feel anything when he saw the girl, because Hill's usual style of doing things was actually quite casual.
For him, no matter how good Russell's talent is, and no matter how poor Carpenter's talent is, what's the difference?
De La Cruz understands the same mentality: after all, he was the same way back then.
How much difference can there be between the legend of the first law and the legend of the second law?
They are all people who cannot even see with the eye of the universe.
When teaching them, there is no need to treat them differently just because of this difference.
Anyway, the results are pretty much the same.
But Hill's cultivation of Russell is at least equivalent to the legend of the Three Rules... just like Fran's treatment of Adrian.
Rommel frowned in confusion.
He felt that there must be something wrong with his judgment of Russell.
Although it can be said that Hill has a special affection for this child, so he plans to use his own methods to help him, so that he can at least stand in the starry sky.
However, Rommel still believed in his impression of Hill: Unless the relationship was deep enough, Hill would never interfere with the fate of others.
Hill can still distinguish between giving good things and almost cultivating a person who has nothing to the point where he can do anything.
If that kid didn't have that foundation, Hill would never do such a thing.
But, why?
Rommel once again recalled his observations of Russell, and he still couldn't see what the child's talent was.
I can only say it's okay.
He silently sat down at his desk and opened Hill's return gift.
It was an extremely delicate metal landscape painting.
It is finely woven with various metal wires that are only one-tenth of the thickness of a hair, and is dotted with various crystal gems.
Although the gems are not big, their purity is very high.
Especially the winding river, with the white crystals and diamonds shining brightly in the waves and whirlpools in the depths of the river.
Rommel calmly glanced at the small river filled with thousands of crystals and hundreds of small diamonds, and then glanced at the white clouds and blue sky... The silver moon above seemed to be made of crystals with a little translucent caromo gold.
Forming.
Kalomokine is controlled so that it will not solidify too much water, but will form a little bit of water mist... This is the nature of this ore.
The most interesting thing about this mineral is that it emits a faint light under light.
Rommel thought for a moment and turned on the overhead lights.
Unfortunately, apart from seeing a dimly glowing full moon, nothing else was discovered.
The stars near the silver moon have all kinds of gems. Of course, they are all gems that can shine with a faint purple brilliance when the bright moon emits light.
This painting is truly heartfelt and beautifully made.
There was a wry smile on Rommel's lips.
He knew that the little bear would not give him the news in vain.
Since there is no trace in the sky, the mountain in the background made of glazed iron wire and fine iron wire only flashes a green color at a certain angle and remains an indifferent blue-black color.
Well, the news Hill gave him could only be found in that small river.
It is not surprising that Hill can draw a naturally formed existence like glazed iron into silk.
Although it is very troublesome, if an archmage of level seven or above is willing to sacrifice a month to draw a few meters of crystal wire, it is not impossible.
If it were Delacruz, this time could even be shortened to half.
Hill's painting was obviously made from various scrap materials, so even if there is a little bit of crystalline wire, it is considered normal.
Although this kind of precious material that can be found on foreign meteorites is valuable, it is not surprising that Gilbert, Root's favorite disciple who has received several copies of the Nine-ring Archmage's storage ring, can take it out.
Rommel was even more surprised that Hill was able to hide the crystal, which must have some secret, in this small river without covering up any trace.
Although white crystal has many functions, because this material is too pure, when they are brought together, any inconsistency in the middle will be very obvious.
Normally, you can spot something wrong just by looking at it.
Rommel originally thought that the message Hill gave him was a one-time thing, but now he is in a trance... Does a one-time message need to be delivered so harshly?
Although he had such doubts, Rommel actually knew that Hill wanted to torment him.
After all, the existence of this painting cannot be a secret... Gracia will definitely be able to enter his tower next time, and she will definitely ask to see this painting.
Although the hell princess looked nothing like her father and mother, the common trait of suspicion was still passed down to her.
It's a pity that the most useless features are given to the people who have the least use.
Taking a deep breath, Rommel began to touch up the river little by little... He knew that this was a psychological test.
If he chooses the wrong direction, wavers in the middle, and switches to another direction, then it is likely that the crystal is in the middle.
But if he touches in the middle, if he makes the wrong choice, he will miss the crystal that he could have touched.
That little bear cub has much more contact with the undead than he does, so he must be very easy to play this kind of game.
Anyway, as long as Rommel is not in a hurry, it will only waste a little more time... Thinking about how Gracia's next visit will only be three days later, he can afford it.
But he finally understood why Frank nodded and smiled in confusion when others praised Hill for being steady and reliable.
A bear is a bear.
No matter how good-tempered he is, he is still a bear.
When it comes to skin, it really makes people laugh or cry.
How could anyone think of making a river out of thousands of crystals just to cover up one of the image crystals?
If Rommel was not experienced, his first reaction would definitely be to run for the full moon!
There are quite a few crystals on the full moon!
Fortunately, he still knows a little bit about the properties of the video crystal and Kalomokin... The hazy water will reveal the existence of the video crystal.
Rommel could only touch it little by little, while rejoicing that he was not a quick-tempered person.
After an afternoon of careful exploration, Rommel finally couldn't hold on to his calm expression.
What's the meaning?
what happened?
Why isn't that crystal in the river?
Where did he make a mistake?
Rommel would not doubt that Hill's painting was just sent to him to torment him, and no message was conveyed at all.
That little bear is just a little wicked, not heartless.
He took another deep breath and finally made up his mind to touch it from beginning to end.
Whether it's those stars or that mountain.
At this moment, Rommel had no other thoughts at all. He just wanted to find out the secret hidden by that damn bear... But he still had some thoughts in his mind: Hill's alchemy technique was obviously not the inheritance of the elves.
