Surviving the Fourth Calamity

Chapter 1692 You Can Try It Yourself
Hill doesn't plan to have too much contact with Russell in the near future.

Although the child would certainly recognize him later, there was no need to be so quick.

Seven days was enough to make the kid's memory a little fuzzy.

As for the old man in the ring, he has already left a message from Russell... There is something he wants in the magic tower, and the side tower where Gilbert is is not suitable for souls to live in, he will leave temporarily.

As for the magic book, Hill only needs to show the same content according to Gilbert's book.

In this world, although the magic book of the apprenticeship period is slightly different from the orthodox spells, it is because of the difference in the world, and it is not a mistake.

Even if Hill could change it, some things couldn't be changed... After all, they lacked too many positive spells.

Of course, spells related to positive energy cannot be used here.

But if they all use pure negative energy spells, these mages will become uncontrollable in the future.

Evil can erode people's hearts. A world full of evil mages is definitely not as easy to manage as it is now.

So the world is obviously using neutral spells to balance the mages' inner world.

However, if the spell types of the neutral camp are used too much, the mage's thinking will be too rational, and he will only consider his own gains and losses.

Otherwise, the world would not have become like this... To be honest, Hill felt shuddering when he thought that most of the high-ranking mages were people like De La Cruz.

It's better to be evil, let's go to war directly.

Before raising his fists, he fought hundreds of rounds of psychological warfare. Hill really didn't like this kind of bullshit trouble.

Fortunately, Hill's spells during the apprenticeship period were quite easy to sort out, even if it had to be combined with the slightly biased elemental environment of this world.

Otherwise, he wouldn't really be so relieved to let Russell learn by himself... He has learned the standard runes, and he has learned almost all the 0-level spells, which is equivalent to learning the Arabic numerals and the nine-nine multiplication table plus four Operational rules.

It's just a basic math problem, and there is no need for Hill to teach it a little bit.

After all, Russell's IQ is still sufficient.

As for Carpenter, who is slightly insufficient, that is Russell's responsibility.

Hill knew very well that he would definitely not be able to teach it.

Because he doesn't understand at all, since everyone knows that multiplication and division come first, then addition and subtraction, and parentheses take precedence, why would anyone do the opposite.

This kind of thing is too embarrassing for him, he is not a good teacher.

Another thing is more troublesome, he has to deduce the appropriate protection spell according to the laws and logic of this world.

Fortunately, Russell is a child who grew up according to the routine. Although luck and talent are good, they are just good, and Hill still has plenty of time.

Although this may be because the will of the world has lost the ability to add special buffs to Russell, but in a certain way, it also hides him perfectly.

Even the well-informed Asmodeus probably wouldn't think that such a useless child of destiny exists in the multiverse.

Therefore, if that hell cannot be revived after a long time, Russell may not be able to make a comeback... Even if Hill does not come, this child will definitely enter the Tower of Black Misty, and he will know from Gilbert A lot of secrets related to the world.

Although the archmage monitored his students, he didn't always monitor them, especially when he was in a state of desperation and had to be sent to others soon, he must pay more attention to other things. Besides, with Russell's luck, he didn't would be so unlucky.

But Hill also understands that if it weren't for the things he did after he arrived in Toril, with Asmodeus' mobility, it is more likely that he would have attacked Heaven Mountain faster.

As long as he thinks of this, Hill's mood will instantly improve.

Especially when he feels that his situation is not particularly dangerous... World Tree may not have noticed Hill's inexplicable disappearance before, but after Hill and Styx came into contact, he will definitely know.

Styx, although I don't know when it started, but as the first and most intermediate birth of the fantasy world, everything else was born near the world tree.

Otherwise, there would be no claim that this ancestor knew all the secrets of the multiverse... The elemental world plus the Styx would be enough for him to know all the secrets.

It's just that he certainly won't pay attention to every little thing.

But he will definitely pay attention to the contact between Styx and his descendants, even if there is a red dragon as an intermediary, as long as the power of nature and the power of death meet, they will feel the root of each other.

After all, the ancestor of World Tree is actually very defensive, and he will never tolerate Styx touching his family members at will.

It is another matter for a child to seek death by himself, and it will definitely not work if others dare to touch it.

Although Hill had hoped for this at the beginning, he really didn't expect it to go so smoothly.

In fact, he was just thinking that if he was really discovered and Asmodeus chased him to the point of nowhere to retreat, he would go straight to hell...the uppermost layer of the nine hells has the River Styx flowing through it.

As long as he jumped into the Styx, the roots of his ancestors might stick in.

In that case, he would be easier to slip than the elemental world.

It's just that this kind of thing is easy to do or not, and Hill is too embarrassed to talk to his own Taling.

Normally, his chances of being fished out should be the greatest, but... Hill can pretend that he doesn't know there is such a way.

Otherwise, knocking on the head by the roots of the ancestors would not be painless.

So he rushed into this world with a fluke mentality that he could escape.

........................

Russell didn't know what his teacher who had changed his name to Hilbert was thinking about. He only knew that this new teacher was more ruthless than the old ancestor who didn't know why.

I don't know if the Hainarsen family has any special educational heritage. Why do all the official mages like to squeeze the limits of students?
If it weren't for the magic analysis book that was suspected to be left by the ancestor, Russell felt that it would be absolutely impossible for him to finish reading this so-called "Apprentice's Notebook" within seven days just relying on those vague booklets on the bookshelf, and It also allowed Carpenter to make some progress.

The most troublesome thing is that their little light ball reminds them to meditate, eat and rest every day... At such a stressful time, both of them have to sleep for 4 hours a day.

Because the mage has a very strong spiritual power, 4 hours is a very sufficient sleep time!

Even when there is nothing to do, Russell sleeps at most 6 hours.

He really didn't understand Teacher Gilbert's thoughts, but as an apprentice, Russell could only do it honestly.

Russell had a very fulfilling seven days.

Even Carpenter, who has always been a bit lazy due to lack of talent, was taken by him on a fast track with continuous rotation.

Therefore, when the time came and they walked towards the passage that had been hidden from them for seven days, even Carpenter, who had been overly nervous when facing the strong, couldn't help but relax for a few seconds.

Russell glanced at his younger sister who was in relaxation mode even with her shoulders. For a moment, she really suspected that her teacher did this just to let them understand that there is nothing worthy of awe except knowledge.

But looking at the heavy notes in his hand, and the last five questions left by the above deletions and deletions, he felt that he was thinking too much.

Then, he walked towards Gilbert who had turned his head to look at them with firm steps.

…………

"Good day, teacher." The two apprentices saluted the mage respectfully.

"Is there any problem?" Hill tilted his head slightly, "It seems that you have had a fulfilling seven days, which is good."

"Yes, teacher." Russell replied neatly, "It feels good not to waste a little time.

Still, I have five questions that I haven't found an answer to. "

"Oh~" Hill smiled interestedly, "Tell me."

He was actually very happy that Russell dared to ask questions after the first study... After all, what he said at the beginning was easy to make people afraid to ask.

When he knew that he might make a mistake and was punished by the teacher, he still insisted on asking questions. Russell did not mention anything else. His willpower was really strong, and he was also full of enthusiasm and desire for knowledge.

This is really a very good quality for a kid who is barely 16 years old.

Talent is indeed very useful in the very beginning stage, of course, it will not be useless in the later stage, but willpower can determine how far a mage can go in the future.

But understanding the weight of knowledge can allow a mage to go high above the sky.

Then Hill quickly discovered Russell's weakness: this kid is really a little confused about the principle of transformation spells.

Three of the five questions are actually related to the relationship of change.

The child seems to think that they are all transformation spells, and there must be some connection between them, but he is a bit unclear about the connection between the 'Switching' and 'Forbidden Light' spells, but he always feels that they are related.

Although the question is a bit strange, this kind of inference about the principle of the law is something that ordinary children will not have.

As long as most people can learn it by themselves, they won't think about so many reasons... They all put this time in the future when they are stronger.

Hill thought for a while, then smiled and said, "I can't answer this question for you yet, but you can try it yourself."
