Surviving the Fourth Calamity

Chapter 1697 Am I old?

Carpenter couldn't understand Russell's melancholy. Her spell attainment was not enough for her to understand how much it would take to exhaust the two of them who obviously had a big difference in strength at the same time, and even had the same rest time. The amount of calculations and how deep the understanding of the two of them is.

Russell certainly didn't think it was because his teacher paid great attention to them.

Gilbert can be regarded as a conscientious teacher, but definitely not so dedicated.

This can only prove that the apprentice can see everything in front of the mage, and there is no room to hide himself.

Now Russell, as long as he thinks of his plan for what he should do after entering the Magic Tower before being taught by that family elder, he shudders a little.

Even if he found something wrong with him, based on his observation of Gilbert during this period, that teacher probably wouldn't do anything to him, but he would definitely not teach him as seriously as he is now.

He will only be the same as those apprentices who run around in the magic tower every day, and can only struggle on his own... Don't those people's teachers have the same status as Gilbert?

There must be, and there are many.

Russell could tell from the completely different mage robes of those people, and not all apprentices in the Tower of Black Misty had cotton robes.

There is also a type that is a blend of cotton cloth and black taro linen.

He estimated that these were ordinary apprentices who had met the standard but had not been accepted by a capable mage.

There are also a few who seem to have just entered the magic tower, and even wear apprentice robes made of pure black taro linen. Russell guesses that these are the ones sent in by the family with money.

Probably because they haven't been assigned to a certain mage yet, these people are still wearing the ordinary robes that the Tower of Black Mistakes sells.

Russell looked down at his sister who was leaning against the soft sofa cushions and looking out curiously.

During this period of time, he really figured out why Gilbert became a little more careful about Carpenter: Carpenter, who is not talented enough, is not smart enough to get into the eyes of their teacher at all, but his warm personality meeting.

In the world of mages, IQ and ability are indeed the bottom line, and those who can enter the magic tower, no matter how bad they are, will be near this bottom line... So the teachers consider whether the students' personality is in line with their own wishes.

"Carpenter." He tapped the head of the girl who was in a daze lightly, "How have you learned these days? Have you memorized all the books?"

"Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm!" Carpenter replied a little not firmly enough.

"Is there something you don't understand?" Russell's tone became a little more serious, "If you have any questions, you must ask them in time."

"No..." Carpenter said hesitantly, "Brother Russell, why am I better at the most troublesome one than the two simplest illusions that the teacher said?"

"Huh?" Russell was surprised.

Carpenter lightly stretched out his fingers to point at himself, and chanted the curse softly... Then Russell couldn't help but twitched the corners of his mouth: Damn it, it really looks like his own mother.

"What were you thinking when you cast the spell?
Have you chosen a particular person in your mind? "Although he was taken aback, Russell still thought of the most important question.

The main purpose of this spell is to make the enemy lose their fighting spirit, so the effect of the spell is to let the opponent see the person he loves most on his face.

Although Russell did love his mother, he couldn't be sure if the one he loved the most was his real mother... He was found to be a mage at the age of three, and then he was sent directly to live in the apprentice building next to the library. Feelings with family are a bit complicated.

After all, after that, the family's love for him, no matter how hot it is, will be mixed with some uncontrollable 'desires'.

As mage apprentices with relatively strong spiritual power, unless they deceived themselves, they would be able to read the desire from the eyes that could not be concealed.

However, it's not that parents don't love them, which always makes people a little tangled... If it was Carpenter, Russell probably wouldn't have asked such a question.

Russell was really not sure if what he saw was the real magic effect.

"Something's wrong, isn't it?" Carpenter said a little gloomily. "I use it for myself, mostly you, but I see my mother a few times, and even my father once, really. Almost scared to death.

I always feel that this is not normal.

It's a favorite, isn't it?
I clearly feel that I...may love my innocent little sister more than my parents. "

"Ask the teacher next time?" Russell seemed to agree with her words, "I finally discovered my talent, and there must be no strange mistakes."

"Yeah!" Carpenter nodded emphatically.

-

Of course Hill overheard this conversation in the public hall.

Therefore, he couldn't help but widen his eyes slightly: Could it be that besides teaching spells, he also has to teach children how to look at their own lives?
How can a child not love his parents?
Even if you will be entangled in your heart about who loves whom more, and who do you love more besides me, teenage children must very much want to ask for love from their parents.

But because of the rebellious heart of adolescence, they will pay special attention to the gap between gains and losses... Even if they enjoy a lot of love from their parents, it is very strange for a teenage child to suddenly be unable to say that he loves his parents the most. normal.

Hill still knows this: in his real teens, although he was too straight to be immersed in the beautiful image like his classmates, he was still very willing to devote himself to the sports he loved. Emotional.

Although the favorite is to change every day, it is also available every day.

It wasn't until after that period of adolescence that he turned his head and started talking sweetly to his parents again... But it's not uncommon for Hill to have seen friends who couldn't admit that he loved his biological parents the most after the age of 30.

Hill pondered for a while, but couldn't think of how to tell the two 16-year-old children that the effect of the spell was not wrong, but the two felt that their favorite had no parents.

How much trouble does an adolescent child have, don't you know it by yourself?

However, until the two children appeared in front of him, Hill did not figure out how to solve this problem.

Therefore, when Carpenter hesitated and hesitated to ask the question, Hill could only make a quick decision: "There is nothing wrong with the effect of the spell.

You don't need to consider whose face the enemy sees, as long as the result is correct. "

Carpenter still seemed a little unwilling to give up, but when she quietly raised her head, she saw Hilbert's expressionless face that seemed a little impatient, so she chose to keep her mouth shut.

"Teacher..." Russell said quickly, "A lot of apprentices have disappeared recently, and I saw a few apprentices who were not registered... Is there something wrong with the Tower of Black Mischief?"

After thinking about it, Hill still told them the news about Tielong...Of course, only on the bright side.

"So, teacher, this has nothing to do with us, does it?" Russell asked seriously, "Even if someone really catches the iron dragon, it won't affect our future."

At the end of his words, he couldn't help but take on a slightly rising tone.

Obviously it is a declarative language, but it can also be regarded as a question mark.

Kind of like, if Hill doesn't want to answer, the question mark doesn't have to exist.

The kid is really funny.

Hill suddenly had a feeling that he was a bit old... The him before, would only find these children's temptations a little annoying.

"It really doesn't matter." And it's easy to soften your heart, even replying to such words.

Hill slightly leaned back in his chair, and said softly: "In 20 years, this is not something that needs to be considered by you, just study spells seriously."

"Yes, teacher!" Russell and Carpenter replied solemnly at the same time, "We will study hard."
