Surviving the Fourth Calamity

Chapter 1685 Don't get too close to the family
Heinelsen's patriarch was actually not too surprised by Russell's promotion... After all, this kid didn't stay in his meditation room all the time.

The first time he ran out to find Carpenter, he was spotted by a senior apprentice-level family elder guarding there.

After all, people with a certain status in the family paid close attention to the siblings because of recent events. The elder knew what happened when he realized that he couldn't see Russell's situation clearly.

Also, it's no secret that Carpenter and Russell have been a little secretive about their newfound little cheats lately.

Patriarch Heinelson also plans to find a suitable opportunity to have a good chat with Russell, to see if the family can exchange this secret with Russell with the resources that were originally planned to send him into the Tower of Black Enthusiasm.

The family never asks members to donate their ingenuity for free... Only a fool would think that the ability of a smart person can only be used once.

One time free, life in vain is the reality.

And it will make more people no longer trust the family, and only want to keep everything secret.

Of course, Patriarch Heinelson does not deny that there will always be some interests that can surpass the bottom line of people's hearts, and he himself can't guarantee that he will do some excessive things... But an apprentice is not so capable.

So they've been waiting for Carpenter to show up.

If Carpenter's aptitude can be advanced, then this matter is a bit difficult to say... The family can only provide that little resource, but this discovery is enough to shock the entire magical world.

At that time, Russell could only be wronged.

But they will also give compensation from Russell's family... There is no way, the family's mage resources are not too many, so we have to think about it for the future!
I believe Russell will understand.

Even if they don't understand, they have no other way... At most, they don't expect to get closer to Russell in the future!
Anyway, there will be new official mages in the family in the future.

The most important thing is, even for the future consideration of his family, Russell will not deal with the family he was born in because of this matter, if the relationship is cold, there is no way.

But Patriarch Heinelson still didn't want this matter to go to such a cruel step.

So when he saw Russell and Carpenter walking into the conference hall together, his attention was directly attracted by Carpenter.

It is true that this girl did not become a high-level apprentice, but it is obvious that her strength has improved a lot.

Although you still have to spend money to get in, this is different from the situation where you can never become a formal mage!
In other words, Russell's method is meaningless to those with poor talent, but it is not too difficult for those who are slightly less talented... The Heinelsen family is not only the two brothers and sisters who have the qualifications of mages, But these two are the only ones who can become intermediate apprentices before the age of 10.

The remaining people are not hopeless, but their future is destined to be only a high-level apprentice.

Even the town government can't enter... Only those who have become intermediate apprentices before the age of 16 can enter. It seems that they want to learn some special spells, and there are certain requirements for qualifications.

So these people who take a long time to advance can only manage some chores in the family, especially in terms of external communication... People with mage qualifications always have a higher status in this world than ordinary people.

When they do things outside, they will definitely not be discriminated against, and it's not too bad.

But if it could be better, who wouldn't?

If more members of their family entered the town government, why can they only count on two apprentices now?
Patriarch Hynarson quickly thought about how to talk to Russell, and finally made up his mind when the two children walked in front of him.

"Congratulations on becoming a senior apprentice at the last moment." He said with a smile, his tone proud and proud, "Your family must be very proud of you!

Of course, the family is also very happy with your performance. Having a formal apprentice means something completely different to us! "

Russell narrowed his eyes, and pulled Carpenter hard, who was about to speak with his lips pursed: "Yeah, my sweat and tears are not in vain!"

"This is a reward from the family to formal apprentices." Patriarch Heinelsen smiled gently, "You accept it first! After all, you have saved a lot of money for the family!"

There was also a hint of pride on Russell's face: "Thank you patriarch, thank you family."

Then he took the thing and closed his mouth, without even opening the small box to look... This thing has been placed in the conference hall for everyone to see all year round, and everyone knows what's inside.

Since Patriarch Heinelson emphasized that it is a reward for formal apprentices, it means that there is nothing special in it.

Russell touched the brass ring on his hand, smiled and said nothing.

"Carpenter's words..." Patriarch Heinelson turned his eyes to the little girl, "Although it must be too late.

But this time, it is also a good thing to be able to enter the Tower of Black Misty together with Russell in advance. Maybe we can get enough elemental responses in the magic tower's environment that is more suitable for the life of a mage.

If they can become high-level apprentices within half a year, the family will not be at a loss. "

Carpenter blinked: "Ah~ thank you for the family's cultivation, I will work hard."

Looking at the little fox with the little meerkat, Patriarch Heinelson decided not to go around in circles... After all, he and his family would not be able to afford to send them to the Tower of Black Misty tomorrow.

It's impossible for him to use his own clansmen to threaten his juniors. Does that make sense for the Heinelson family to exist?

"The family is very interested in your method." He said directly, "But, Russell, you should also know that the family's resources are not abundant.

I can only guarantee that I will give you the resources you originally planned to send to the Tower of the Black Misty, and then give Carpenter a reward as a formal apprentice.

Plus guaranteed treatment for both of your families.

In the end, I will give each of you a level 1 storage ring... Although it is not a good item in the magic tower, if you are an ordinary apprentice, you have to become a mage to get it. "

Three cubic meter storage ring.

Russell blinked, and then used his strength to suppress Carpenter who wanted to object, and nodded briskly: If he came up with this method himself, of course he would not be able to accept the method proposed by the family... ...Isn't this just taking advantage of the relationship between him and Carpenter to share his reward?
After all, giving him two level 1 storage rings is a bit ugly to say, but giving it to his cherished sister seems to make sense, not to mention Carpenter's parents and brothers are also considered by the way.

Russell understood what Carpenter was agitating for. If it was him, he would not accept this practice of depriving Carpenter of his best interests by taking advantage of his small favors.

But this is the way of the elders from the Hynelson family.

The other party didn't ask him to keep it secret, so Russell also planned to accept it as soon as it was good.

Moreover, the most important thing now is to pack up and prepare for tomorrow's itinerary... There is no point in tossing about for this immediate benefit.

His future is far away.

The family even helped him a lot by doing this... Now, even Carpenter, the family wouldn't have much face to come to find trouble when nothing happened.

The unlucky ones will only be those little brothers and sisters in the future, isn't that just right?
In such a complex environment as the Tower of the Black Mystery, it would be very difficult for him and Carpenter to keep themselves, and then go to do things for the family... Life and death are at stake, and they will definitely not ignore it, but it is good to avoid participating in such shitty things as fighting for power and profit.

The most important thing is that Russell knows that the family can indeed provide him with more resources, but...he is not against the family, so why is he willing to hurt the family for such a thing?

Carpenter glanced at Russell, roughly figured out his thoughts, and didn't say anything more.

Patriarch Heinelson really didn't expect that the two children didn't choose to bargain... He almost choked to death with the theory he had prepared.

But when the benefits are obtained, he will not ask why.

Anyway, it would be better to give preferential treatment to the families of these two children in the future.

-

Russell took Carpenter and followed Elder Ulrich, who had not spoken much since yesterday, and walked slowly towards the Tower of Black Misty.

"Russell." Before reaching the entrance, Ulrich suddenly said, "The one you mentioned..."

"Everyone in the family can know, of course Mage Gilbert is more qualified." Russell said decisively.

Carpenter hid behind him and rolled his eyes irritably... Ulrich is actually a good person, but his personality is always so... Can this be said in public?
Is it to let someone know that their Heinelson family has a good inheritance, which can even affect the official mages of the Tower of Black Misty?
No wonder the patriarch always only respected his opinions, but he basically didn't listen to them.

"That's good, that's good." Ulrich muttered a few words, and then he couldn't help but say, "But in the future, when you get to the Magic Tower, you must keep some of it!

Russell, you don't need to tell your family everything. "

Russell smiled helplessly: "I see, don't worry!"

Then he quickly understood why Ulrich had that kind of attitude... The Gilbert they saw was so weak that only a layer of skin remained.
