Surviving The Fourth Calamity

”What you said is meaningless.” Nicholson immediately understood, ”Do you think Kamente Tower is like you?

With his petty mind, it’s clear for everyone to see.

Clicking his tongue~”

If Kamente Tower really had some selfish thoughts, would he and Ruth really go against him over a Seventh Circle Mage, especially one who is Kamente Tower’s own student?

It’s not about sending Rommel to his death, just preventing him from having a place to exchange resources.

Having so many good things but unable to use them for himself... Even if Rommel has a steadfast mind, logically speaking, he would be somewhat shaken.

It’s not about him sacrificing himself for these resources, just showing Glaysia a better attitude, Rommel wouldn’t be unwilling even for that small matter.

But for whatever reason, once he starts getting involved with Glaysia, he would naturally make step after step backwards.

With Glaysia’s famous romantic tendencies, she wouldn’t exchange resources with Rommel according to a normal proportion.

Receiving makes a hand short, eating makes a mouth short.

Once Rommel can no longer refuse Glaysia’s enthusiasm, he will sooner or later willingly enter that White Tower.

The Archmages of Sia Tower are each more insidious and venomous than the last.

If they really succeed in their plan... then Rommel, who originally came from the Tower of Dark Enigma, would ironically be turned into their enemy.

Furthermore, using Rommel to deal with them could bypass some obvious restrictions.

Not to mention that they were the ones who first offended Rommel, even without counting that, it’s an internal conflict within the Tower of Dark Enigma, what does it have to do with the Sia Tower?

Ruth isn’t unaware of this; this guy’s mind surely works faster than Nicholson’s, but Ruth definitely wouldn’t make things so clear.

Does Nicholson still need to show leniency to Kamente Tower?

The harsher the words, the clearer his mood becomes!

Kamente Tower helplessly shook his head: ”It’s come to this, and you’re still... that’s all in the past, why torture yourself like this?”

Nicholson’s initially joyful face quickly fell: ”Do you think everyone is as heartless as you are?”

Ruth quickly stepped between the two: ”Don’t be like this, so many people are watching!”

Even if people of the Tower of Dark Enigma are long accustomed to how they get along, it’s not worth putting on a show for Sia Tower, right?

Of course, it’s not that they don’t need to act anymore, it’s just that there’s no need to put on such a big act.

Just a few hints would suffice.

Making too much of a commotion actually tends to attract suspicion... If it’s a real enemy, they wouldn’t even engage in verbal sparring.

Who would waste words on a real enemy!

With that time, it’s better to think of ways to harm them.

Mages that have reached the Ninth Ring are realistic creatures; generally speaking, those who act exaggeratedly are looking to express a certain attitude.

Nicholson should avoid voluntarily standing out with his acting.

Fortunately, due to the matter with Glaysia, Nicholson was emotionally charged from the start... Given his usual style, it’s normal that his excitement hasn’t calmed down yet.

But maintaining this state for too long isn’t right.

Rommel, who had been standing behind Kamente Tower, softly spoke to mediate: ”Archmage Ruth, you see, if we want to build a territory... can we invite one of your students to talk to us about things we should be mindful of?”

With a bitter smile on his face: ”Although several Archmages at Sia Tower are very willing to help, but... for some matters, it’s better that we handle them ourselves.”

Quickly raising his hand to stop Nicholson from starting to accuse Rommel of not asking him for someone, Ruth decided to end this meeting as soon as possible.

Nicholson seemed to be overly excited; if this continues, it’s almost like they’re cooperating with Sia Tower in tormenting poor Rommel.

Besides, even if Kamente Tower dared to use Nicholson’s people, would Nicholson really dare to send his beloved student over to keep them company?

His students’ minds probably couldn’t handle Rommel for even half an hour.

But in this situation, they can’t refuse to help either, after all, even if everyone knows Kamente Tower’s true nature, he’s still the Tower Master of the Tower of Dark Enigma.

Those following him are still wearing the purple robes of the Tower of Dark Enigma.

Purple so dark it’s almost black, black so deep it’s still purple.

Ruth glanced back... Oliva, never mind.

Aislin, Aislin is even more out of the question... It wouldn’t take long for Rommel and Kamente Tower to figure out the connection between her and Glaysia.

Even if he went mad, Ruth wouldn’t place Aislin by Rommel’s side.

Rojas and Koyl, even if Kamente Tower knows their names and current status, he’s not too familiar with them.

Moreover, Koyl’s strength is a bit lacking.

And Rojas, Ruth would have to be insane to let a pretty female student accompany Rommel.

Strength in the face of gender isn’t an issue at all.

So it can only be Gilbert.

Ruth sighed in relief, fortunately Gilbert’s Magic Tower has been repaired, otherwise, he’d really struggle to speak up.

As for Delphus and the threat from the Neutral Faction... with Fengo just having spoken, no one here at Sia Tower would dare to challenge the authority of the ’Black Artist.’

Compared to Glaysia, that is the entity that truly makes the mages of Sia Tower tremble in fear.

Every purge has been driven by his will.

”Gilbert, could I trouble you for a while?” Ruth hesitantly spoke, ”Everyone else is quite busy, and only you...”

”Don’t worry, I’m more than happy to help, Master!” Hilbert squinted with a smile, happily placing his hands over his waist and abdomen, as the beautiful and dazzling Cat’s Eye Stone bracelet still shone brightly under the sunlight despite being obscured by his hands.

Ruth looked somewhat perplexed at the unusually enthusiastic Gilbert... then quickly realized, this kid probably wants to watch the drama unfold.

He knows that sometimes Gilbert and Aislin chat about boring trivialities.

Furthermore, back at the Tower of Dark Enigma, Gilbert was fond of hearing various underground messages.

While at that time he may have been merely preventing some troubles, Ruth knows well that once a habit is formed, one doesn’t need to care about human nature anymore.

Gilbert seems pretty interested in watching real-life romantic drama performances.

Anyway, with Rommel present, Gilbert doesn’t really face any danger... in various senses.

Ruth gently nodded: ”If you’re willing, that’s even better.

Get along well with Rommel, don’t...”

”Don’t be like how you treat me, cold and unfeeling.” Aislin suddenly interrupted.

Hilbert couldn’t help but tilt his head and look at her expression: ”You, finally gone mad?

Or, living too comfortably, want to spar with me?

I wouldn’t mind having a fight with you.

But what about you... have you learned any Eighth Ring Spells?”

”Hah~” Aislin rolled her eyes, ”Don’t worry, very soon I’ll come to find you.”

Hil was about to speak with sarcasm when he paused slightly... Aislin knows which Eighth Ring path belongs to her?

No, she found her true path to the Eighth Ring, right?

With Glaysia’s insight, the soul fragment used on one’s avatar is surely of high quality, it’s normal for Aislin to glean something from it.

But in just a few days, she has found her own understanding?

Feeling increasingly uneasy, Hill gently turned his head to glance at Rommel... indeed, that person has been watching him with peripheral vision.

Then Hilbert looked at Aislin: ”Congratulations to you then.

I’ll be ready whenever you want to come spar with me.

However, you need to wait until I finish my current assignment.”

Aislin nodded... she knew Gilbert could understand her hint.

After discarding some old thoughts from the past, Aislin truly realized how valuable it was to have someone who could understand what she wanted to say from a mere stray remark.

Of course, Master Ruth is capable of that too.

But she couldn’t always go to Master for everything, right?

Even if she sought out Ruth, in the end, he would just find a student who understood things a little.

However, Aislin knows well that given her past style, and Ruth’s leniency with his students... it would always end up being Oliva and Gilbert standing before her.

Others, including Koyl and Rojas, would only beg Ruth for leniency desperately.

Reasonably, she should go directly to Oliva... Aislin can now calmly admit, other than Master, Oliva was the most tolerant person towards her.

But, she knows better, to make Oliva understand what she said and intends to do, it’s easier for Ruth to pass it on.

However, she just doesn’t want to bother Master!

In the end, it has to be Gilbert.

Luckily, although he doesn’t really like her, he is willing to give her a hand for the sake of Master.

Aislin did find laws related to herself, but she needs to find related spells through combat with others.

Even though there are standard spells for Eighth Ring spells, imprinting these spells within the Mental Sea still requires communicating with the laws, only then can one use the model in the Mental Sea and the resonance of the spells to cast spells.

Aislin feels that her life is indeed a tangled mess.

-----------------

Rommel feels like his life suddenly at this moment turned into a ball of yarn.

The kind a bear would claw at.

Although he has locked all his shock within the depths of his heart, even managing a tacit collaboration with that damned bear cub allowing them a chance to meet normally, his soul feels as if it’s been split into two parts.

The outer part remains calm to smile and negotiate with people... after all, although some people from Kamente Tower fell off along the way, the number is still substantial.

With all three Tower Masters here, naturally, they would have to wait until everyone has disembarked before leaving together.

But another internal part is frantically pounding ground in silent screams.
