Survive the Fourth Natural Disaster

Hill certainly knew that the reason why Russell was confused about Ulrich's behavior was because the kid knew that he was not the real Gilbert.

Russell has a very sincere side in his nature, so he always felt that even after being in contact with him for such a short time, he could see clearly the authenticity of Gilbert, so shouldn't Ulrich be able to see it even more? ?

That was Ulrich, who grew up under Gilbert's protection and was loyal to Gilbert. Therefore, some of Ulrich's actions that were somewhat inconsistent with reality would make him wary.

However, this approach is what Ulrich is doing.

That child's biggest wish from beginning to end was to let Gilbert live his own life... He had always been very kind to the family's apprentices, and was even very fair in not giving any special treatment to his own children. , because he hopes that there will be some people in the family who can help Gilbert share the burden.

Even if Gilbert is always the strongest among these people...but when it comes to small things that are not related to life and death, human beings' inertia is to find the person who has a closer relationship with them.

Ulrich's thinking pattern can be seen in many of Gilbert's memories.

Russell couldn't see this before, just because Gilbert was still seriously injured at that time. Although Ulrich was dissatisfied with those in the family, he still had a glimmer of hope... If Gilbert still needed it in the end If the Heinalson family helps, then the relationship between Gilbert and the family cannot be too distant.

It is useless for those old guys to be grateful, but these people who are about the same age as Gilbert, or even older, are gradually reaching the end of their lives.

The remaining people, those who are qualified to take over the family power, are those who have lived in the apprentice dormitory controlled by Ulrich.

Just like Russell and Carpenter, and even Feliz...their life in the apprentice dormitory left a mark in their hearts: Ulrich was a just elder, and they could live... That freedom depends entirely on Gilbert's support.

Of course, Gilbert could see what Ulrich was doing, but there was no way he could reject such a sincere heart...a sincerity that could leave the last trace of warmth in his instantly frozen emotional world.

But he also felt a little sorry for Ulrich's children, and left a lot of things specifically for those children in his small warehouse... that is, a prepared inheritance distribution.

Of course he is the one who understands his injuries best, otherwise how could he remain a skeleton and not take the mental soothing potion?

He has been exaggerating the effect of that potion both publicly and privately, not because the potion is really useful, but because what he wants to deceive most is himself... Tell himself that if he really can't go on by himself one day , that medicine can at least keep him alive.

But, the last thing he wants is to live.

Gilbert is a very sober child, so when he wants to lie to himself, it is a bit difficult... Therefore, his suffering is really painful to the bone.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have given up so simply after discovering Hill.

The last thread he used to pull himself, which had long been shaky in the wind, at that moment, lost the glue watered with life and broke directly.

However, when Hill occasionally looked through his memories, he felt from the bottom of his heart that after suffering so many blows, he could still think of Ulrich's child Gilbert, who had to sacrifice part of his own interests... To put it in the cheesiest terms, truly has a heart of gold.

But this is also the reason why Hill had so much goodwill towards the Heinalson family from the beginning. Otherwise, he wouldn't have thought so carefully about their future... Just go to the Tower of Theia if you want!

If they want to stay, Hill will help.

Everything will only depend on their own choices, rather than Hill taking the initiative to propose solutions to them.

Gilbert's kindness and Ulrich's sincerity helped their family in the end.

But, how can I put it... A family that can raise such a child also has this value.

Just like Russell in front of him, Carpenter who was busy in the living room, and even Felice who was hesitating in the underground secret passage... This child always wanted to see the family's situation, and finally Use reason to force yourself to look back. They all have their own shortcomings, but they are all good children.

They are very alive... Even if they grow up like this because the living environment in the apprentice dormitory is relatively mild, the entire Heinalson family does not really put all the pressure of survival on these children.

Of course they are not good people, scheming and scheming, but no one thinks that those talented children should shoulder the family's future.

Expecting them to be capable... but not thinking that it's the children's fault that they can't. At some point, Hill also saw the value of this family.

He didn't feel this way at first because he didn't see other families in this world... Only after entering the Tower of Black Mystery did Hill see the reality.

Now, he actually has a curiosity about the defense tower: the Heinalson family may have good nature, but to be able to develop such a style must be because the surrounding environment has not forced them to do so in the past years. To a dead end.

It would be difficult for Black Mystery Tower to raise such a family.

I can't say that the people here are not good, but their most accustomed style of doing things is always to be wise and protect themselves.

"Ulrich is already a mage. Although he respects my uncle very much, he is more rational and thinks more.

Moreover, he has always tried not to make the Heinalson family a burden to me. Hill thought for a while and summed up the words slowly, "Anyway, as long as I live, Ulrich will not be in any danger."

So, he can try.

Just let him be...don't worry about him, he'll figure it out.

It doesn't matter if he doesn't understand, time will always teach him. "

Russell blinked and thought carefully about his teacher's words... Then he recalled a conversation he had in the side tower: a sign of too much respect, but in essence, unfamiliarity.

Even Carpenter, as time passed and communication increased, her attitude towards 'Gilbert' was respectful but affectionate.

Definitely not going to be so reserved all the time.

This is not just because 'Gilbert' is a friendly person, but also because a connection has been formed between them...a connection that makes people relax.

Ulrich, on the other hand, has always shown too much respect for Gilbert.

This is not because he doesn't love Gilbert, but because... like his father, he has always been because Gilbert sacrificed a lot for the family, but they were unable to suppress the strange voices of the family and fully supported such Gilbert. And feel guilty.

Just like Ulrich's father, he was still resentful of his family's practices before he passed away.

Even though Gilbert had always been kind to him and always stood behind him to support him... the more he behaved like this, the more conscience-stricken Ulrich seemed to be, the more he couldn't face it.

Russell felt that he could also feel a little bit of Ulrich's thoughts: only when he could finally get the whole family to stand behind Gilbert honestly could he face his uncle calmly.

At that time, it was impossible for him to know that his uncle would one day recover, but Ulrich just couldn't bear that tone.

Unfortunately, the day he was finally able to do it, his dear uncle no longer needed this support.

But that doesn't mean that Ulrich did something wrong... It's just that he didn't dare to look up at his most cherished uncle because of guilt. In fact, he was really helpless and speechless.

However, Russell also understood the other meaning of 'Gilbert''s words... Gilbert was the only one in the Heinelson family who could teach Ulrich like this.

The real Gilbert.

So, that person is still alive?

impossible.

Although he didn't know how the man in front of him pretended to be Gilbert, Russell was very sure that no matter how powerful his ability was, he couldn't allow two identical soul marks to exist in this world...unless they were the same person.

Moreover, this guy seems to rarely lie. Gilbert must be...wait, was he just talking about me, my uncle?

That means that he feels that Gilbert is qualified to be compared with the real him, is that what he means?

Is the Heinalson family going to have a big shot?
