Survive the Fourth Natural Disaster

Russell already understood why the mage asked him to take a nap before finding him again, when he really got up after a nap.

Although he did not advance, his spiritual sea seemed to have been cleaned up again.

After silently looking inside, Russell felt that this was the real sea...clear and bright.

It's not like in the past, although there are storms and clouds, but you can't always see clearly in the distance.

Russell really had some real insights this time... He could become a high-level apprentice before he turned 16 with only two months left.

Although the patriarch said it very simply, did his family really think of so many things?

Of course it’s because there’s no other way.

If they don't send another one in, their family will really be doomed.

However, everyone knows that the apprentice sent in like that will never do anything for the family again... The inevitable sacrifice has made up for everything in the past.

But if Russell can enter normally, and a Carpenter is included, it will be completely different.

Because a formal apprentice can completely protect a self-funded student.

This will instead give the family a lot of room to operate.

Russell touched his hand... The thin copper ring on it now was a gift from the family to apprentices like them. Anyone who could become a mid-level apprentice would have it.

The defense tower back then was very good at making such low-level wonders, although it could only hold a small schoolbag that was 20 centimeters high and 5 centimeters wide and long.

But it is enough for young apprentices, what else can they have?

I don't know if the clan leader will give him a bigger one when he becomes a high-level apprentice. He really needs it.

After looking around his bedroom and putting all the important things into the storage ring in the spiritual sea, Russell felt that he could actually sleep in the meditation room in the future, and he would probably never go back to the bedroom again.

Moreover, he has to act a little crazy, otherwise how can he convince others that he can become a high-level apprentice just by changing the accuracy of the runes?

I just hope Carpenter can understand what he means. Even if he can't become a high-level player, he still needs to make considerable progress.

Russell would never tell others the secrets of his spiritual world.

Everything related to the defense tower was dangerous, and he couldn't even tell Carpenter.

Although the Archmage didn't say anything, Russell knew very well that the other party must be very sure that even if the Tower of Black Mystery had any means for the soul, it would not be able to detect his existence, so he was so unconcerned about whether Russell would Will enter the magic tower.

Russell suspected that the defense tower had also captured the astral visitor, but he did not hand it over at all, but divided it up himself.

Although the things Archmage Johnston received were not powerful, they were very suitable for keeping secrets.

How else could that magic tower know the means of contacting the outside world? This was the first reaction of Archmage Johnston.

He must have known a little bit of similar information and felt that the future of the defense tower was not good, so he stored part of his true soul in the ring and sealed it in an apprentice's notebook that no one cared about.

Then he waited for a long time for someone who knew his identity to look at this note out of curiosity.

After Russell used his own speculation to describe Hill's appearance with a perfect logic, he walked to his meditation room with satisfaction. Well, as long as you can convince yourself, everything will be perfect.

With this mentality, Russell was in a high mood for learning.

This made Hill a little puzzled.

After all, when he had controlled the spiritual sea space to the limit of Russell's endurance, he could only learn a slightly difficult 0-level spell in three days.

Even a simple spell like Dancing Lights took him a full day!

Even Bonn only studied for one hour.

But Russell was very satisfied and even jumped up and spun around a few times. After that, the flash and light spells lasted three days.

Hill was a little confused...or was it because the elements in this world reacted too sluggishly?

In any case, after Hill taught him this complete set of shaping spells, Russell was naturally promoted to a high-level apprentice.

The child was spinning around happily, but he kept mumbling: "It can't be so fast, we have to wait a few more days, and a few more days."

Hill decided to lower his judgment on the abilities of mages in this world a little lower.

Although this was just the reaction of the apprentice, but... Ever since he discovered that this child made him feel strangely familiar, Hill felt that he should be quite capable.

And he still likes surprises more than disappointments.

Many of the plans in his mind still need to consider the qualifications of the mages.

Hill glanced at Russell, who was still dancing and celebrating his success: "Since you think there is no need to go out now, let's learn other spells!

Although Dancing Lights is very simple, it may not be suitable for use in the Tower of Black Mystery.

But this series is very useful for the expansion of the spiritual sea, so I let you learn it first.

You are already a high-level apprentice, so you should have no problem learning other things, right?

Let's try the illusion system... No, let's look at the enchantment and conjuration systems first!

Although they only have one level 0 spell, they are very suitable for helping stabilize the spiritual sea. "

Russell put down the hand that was still on his head and looked at the archmage with a confused expression... Was he talking in human language?

It's a pity that no matter how many complaints Russell had in mind, he was still caught in learning a new type of spell... In fact, he really wanted to say that in the eyes of people with average talent, it was not necessary to learn all the spells.

As long as you master shaping and protection that can affect each other, and learn some prophecies and spells, you'll be good.

Unfortunately, it seems that the Archmage doesn't find 0-level spells difficult, and anyone can learn them all.

Even after it took Russell three days to learn the stun spell of the enchantment system, he thought silently for a while and whispered in a slow voice: "It doesn't seem to be feasible to learn a level 1 spell in advance."

He is not an official mage yet!

All formal mages must be at level 2 before they can start learning some complex first-level spells, okay?

Russell just felt like he was being attacked.

Fortunately, his willpower was strong enough... He had already enjoyed enough disappointment when he knew that he would not be able to become a high-level apprentice before the age of 16.

Because he had ever felt the worst mood, Russell could face this blow tenaciously now.

Tsk~ fart!

Damn top student.

The unevenness of life is really the most painful when you discover your talents, such as IQ and qualifications, and are really compared to the bottom by others.

After all, whether it is the environment or the family, they are all things that you can get rid of or overcome by yourself, but there is really no way to deal with it, and the difference is just a difference.

Russell, who had always felt that his qualifications were just a bit biased, but his IQ was definitely in the upper range, decided to go find Carpenter after leaving.

His cute but silly little sister will definitely make him feel much better.

……………………

Carpenter tilted his head and looked at his brother Russell.

Russell, who was explaining 'Detection Magic' to her, tapped her little head with his index finger: "Why are you dazed? Listen carefully to the lecture!"

"I always feel that there's something wrong with your current tone." The little girl put her index finger on her chin and tilted her head, "I said, brother Russell, why are you talking to me like a grandpa?

Life is so beautiful, and there are still so many things that we haven’t enjoyed yet. Becoming a father too early is a waste, but you already want to be a grandfather? "

Russell looked up at the sky...ah, his sister is not so cute sometimes.

Then he smiled helplessly: "I just hope that I can get you closer to a high level before the time comes.

You should understand how big the gap is.

It makes people think that you are just not used to the thin magic elements outside, and that your qualifications are just not good enough. Those are two different things.

Be honest and diligent, understand?

At least you have to learn this spell..."

Carpenter certainly understood why Russell bypassed the protection spells he was better at to teach her this, but she was really not used to Russell's way of speaking.

Could it be that the man who secretly taught Russell magic was a white-haired old man who lived a thousand years old?

………………

A month flies by.

Carpenter, who was indeed not very qualified, had a hard time learning, but Russell was even more painful... After the archmage determined that he would definitely not be able to learn any 1-level spells, he began to infinitely superimpose 0-level spells.

Even though Russell relied on his strong will and unwillingness to be outdone, he finally learned all the 0-level spells except necromancy... Speaking of which, why are there so many 0-level spells in the transformation spell?

But Russell also felt his rapid progress.

And the ability to really compete with some level 1 mages who were promoted through similar spells.

Then there is the wariness of the Tower of Seiya.

Johnston like this is not even ranked in the top 100 in that defensive tower. The strength of that magic tower can be imagined.

In fact, nobles like them who have been in contact with many magic towers can still guess a little about the strength of the Black Mystery Tower.

There is no way to discuss it together with defense towers.

That can only prove that the highest combat power of the defense tower was all suppressed by the Tower of Theia... This is terrible!

He must be very careful and not reveal anything amiss!

"Brother Russell!" Carpenter called him dissatisfied, "What are you thinking? The patriarch asked us to come over!"

"Today it is estimated that the time to go to the Tower of Black Mystery will be determined. Have you touched the edge of a higher level?" Russell asked her.

"No, it will probably take another half a year." Carpenter shook his head, "It's still too late to be promoted before the age of 16."

"That's good." Russell smiled, "Let's go!"

The two looked at each other, and Carpenter put his hand in Russell's arm: "Let's go~ Give them a surprise first, and then they can spend money more comfortably."

Russell couldn't help but laugh.
