Surviving the Fourth Calamity

Chapter 1709 Russell's Anxiety
Russell was in a lot of pain.

His teacher, character is really, unpredictable.

Originally, he always thought that Gilbert was a bit extreme because of his past experience, but how could an extreme person think of asking apprentices to copy life mottos as a means of punishment!
However, this also made him feel relieved.

Even if Gilbert really planned to take risks after he became an official mage, he seemed to be quite sure of getting through that difficulty.

How should I put it... If death was inevitable before, now, according to Russell's own judgment, it has become that even if the risk fails, it will not cause life-threatening.

That's good, at least after entering the Tower of Sia, he and Carpenter still have someone they can rely on behind them.

If we say that before, Russell thought that as long as he became an official mage, after entering the Tower of Black Misty, especially after seeing West's performance, the little boy really understood that the mage world is crueler than he imagined. much.

Gilbert really had a chance, even if Carpenter became an official mage, the two of them wanted to protect the family, and even let the family have a chance to move to the Tower of Seattle in the future, there is absolutely no hope.

Russell turned his head and looked at Carpenter, who was lying in the lounge and buried in copying.

The time between the two of them is actually very tight. If they want to transcribe more standardized, they can only use the intermission time.

In the past two days, Russell has been able to see the anxious expressions of those desperate guys in the opposite tower... Carpenter wrote very slowly, and she didn't even have a chance to raise her head during this time.

After pondering for a while, he called his sister softly: "Carpenter, you are already a high-level apprentice, so, have you learned the third illusion?"

It's a pity that his younger sister still failed to advance before he was 16 years old, and it happened that he was only a few days away.

Otherwise, Carpenter could directly change his status from apprentice to official.

Now, she can only change the identity plate on the day she becomes an official mage... Fortunately, when the magic tower distributes resources, it only depends on the level, not whether it is paid for.

Of course, among the people who came in with money, it seems that only their Carpenter has advanced.

"I've learned it. In the past two days, according to the teacher's words, I used general-purpose spells and illusion spells together. It seems that it is indeed a little different.

Hmm... Especially magic tricks, the more familiar you are with it, the better your understanding of phantom sound.

I feel that my mental strength has also increased a lot.

In the past two days, I have been watching the stun technique of the enchantment department.

What the teacher said, although the spells are different, the connection between them is inextricably linked... In that case, I seem to understand a little bit!
Brother Russell, if it wasn't for the teacher's high requirements on the purity of our spiritual power, we should have been able to advance by now. "

Russell shook his head: "Don't be impulsive because of those things outside, you know?
Think about the Master West who came two days ago, his identity is actually similar to ours, and he is a little better than us.

Although there is no family behind him, there is no pressure.

But you see... his reverence for his teacher is not because of Archmage Root. "

"After entering the Tower of Black Misty, I didn't know who our teacher is." Carpenter suddenly rolled his eyes, "If it was 20, no, even 10 years ago, there were a few talented people in our family, The Heinelson family will not be in this situation.

In fact, the longer I get along with the teacher, the more I can understand Ulrich's feelings of always confronting the elders of the family. "

Back then, when Ulrich's father was still there, the elder brother who had seen his own brother suffer was unable to determine the talents of his children, and there were not many capable people in his family. In the future, it is actually suggested that the family spend money to raise a few outsiders... It is not necessary for them to be kind to the family, but as long as they have a gifted child with the family's apprentices, it is enough.

They can completely send those people away, and they don't need to raise the children... The best result is that the other party doesn't care.

And although the Heinelson family will pay some resources for this, even including the favor from Gilbert... The Heinelson family may not be able to deal with the kind of people who are talented enough to have the ability to enter the magic tower. You can only choose the kind of guy who is a little bit close.

Generally speaking, this kind of children are those who are talented enough, but because of the living environment and poor physical foundation, they cannot withstand the rapid improvement of mental strength... All they need is a bottle of standard physical medicine.

Especially some female apprentices.

Although this is not pleasant to say, for a female apprentice from a poor family, physical fitness is really a difficulty.

The environment in this world is a bit too harsh for girls... No matter how poor a family is, they will not give up a qualified child, regardless of male or female, but they cannot provide enough nourishment for these children.

Girls who are born with poor physiques need to pay more to reach the same level as men in terms of physical attributes.

Mental strength can indeed supplement physical needs to a certain extent, but this means that if they want to become high-level apprentices, they have to be stronger than men.

Therefore, most of the female apprentices in the magic tower have good backgrounds.

And those female apprentices who are not bad in aptitude but cannot enter the magic tower due to various reasons can only choose to marry early.

Although this is a good ending for those female apprentices who were born in poverty, at least she and her future children will no longer have to live that miserable life, but...if there is a chance, who really can only accept this kind of life? Helpless fate?
Therefore, if the Hynarson family is really willing to offer such a condition, there must be many similar apprentices who are willing to accept it, especially decades ago, the Tower of the Black Misty was a little downturned but not decadent yet.

Although magic towers generally don't like people who have taken medicine before becoming high-level apprentices, the situation in the Tower of Black Misty makes the constitution potion a bit ambiguous... Otherwise, those mage families will not always have suitable medicines. The standard mage appears.

During the aptitude test, whether the constitution potion can pass is a question that can be discussed.

But this negotiation depends on who is going to say it.

Gilbert at that time did have the ability and the will.

It's a pity that the members of the Heinelson family are still a little short-sighted... They think that there will always be children with outstanding qualifications in their family.

Gilbert's talent is actually not bad, it's impossible for their family to have only one of them, right?

Didn't the heavenly wizard in the Tower of Defense also come from their Heinelsen family?
Unfortunately, for decades, there was only one Gilbert.

In the end, only one Russell was waiting.

If luck hadn't hit the ground, their Heinelson family would really be waiting to be wiped out.

The fact that Ulrich's father left so early was actually related to this matter... Seeing his younger brother suffer so hard in the Magic Tower, the members of the family only think about themselves and don't want to think about Gilbert's pain at all , that old gentleman is really exhausted.

The members of the family actually regretted it later, but 10 years ago in the Tower of Black Misery, even the apprentices with decent qualifications were directly recruited by the mages in the tower, and it was not their turn to intervene.

And Gilbert obviously had a estrangement with the family because of those messy things, and Ulrich didn't know how to help the family pass on everything... The only good thing about this matter is that Russell and Carpenter have some qualifications The child grows up in the palm of his hand.

Russell looked outside hesitantly, and said softly: "We need to listen to what the teacher says, but we have to hurry up.

The recent atmosphere in the Tower of the Black Misty is very uncomfortable. It would be best if we could all become full-fledged mages as soon as possible. "

"I don't want to?" Carpenter rolled his eyes, "Stop thinking about it, let's go through the test of endorsement first!"
