Survive the Fourth Natural Disaster

Carpenter stamped his feet and asked very anxiously: "You dare to come to me, and you are only looking for me by name... Is there any fool in my family who is really stupid?"

Russell rolled his eyes helplessly: They are not a family, and the people in Carpenter's family are very good at hiding themselves. They like to pretend to be crazy and act stupid, and their main focus is vanity.

Therefore, even if Carpenter becomes an apprentice, the worst way out is to enter a small town or marry into a certain mage family. The senior leaders of the Heinalson family will not dare to promote her family members easily.

Although the treatment is good, it is not overly flattering.

The people in his family are relatively thin-skinned. If they can't do anything similar, they can only behave indifferently and arrogantly.

But how can I put it, Russell's talent is much better than Carpenter's. He is the kind of person who, even if he cannot become a mage when he is young and promising, is not impossible... So when the family treats his family, Also very cautious.

With Ulrich standing in front of them, and obviously a little alienated from the family, the Heinalson patriarch and elders did not dare to create a force that could compete with Ulrich.

After all, Ulrich was really capable of taking his family and defecting directly to Gilbert and never looking back.

But also because of this vague connection, their two families did not attract much attention... The Heinalson family was the big one.

Russell shook his head and asked thoughtfully: "The sense of existence of our two families is actually not very high... Tell me, is it possible that someone in the family has turned against you, and then has something to do with your family? Do?

If he were really from your family, he wouldn't come to him so directly, would he?

Letting others find a way to talk things out and letting you run out in a hurry is... normal, right? "

Carpenter, who was a little irritated, reacted suddenly: "Tell me, is it my cousin's house?"

"Huh?" Russell didn't understand. "Who? Your cousin, isn't he also mine...?"

"Don't you remember? When we entered the apprentice dormitory, there were still a few people inside!" Carpenter frowned and said helplessly, "There was one person inside. Logically speaking, he was my mother's sister and Te Uncle Will... you remember, right? He and our parents should be the children of the same grandfather..., but, well, he is only related to me by blood.

So, he is my cousin and it has nothing to do with you, okay? "

"Oh? Oh..." Russell still didn't understand, "I remember that they should have been intermediate apprentices in that period, right?

As long as you are a mage apprentice, even if your blood relationship with the family is a bit awkward, as long as your surname is Heinalson, your treatment will not be much different. Why should he hate you?

Is it related to your aunt? "

"My aunt has always taken care of children but not the upbringing." Carpenter shook his head, "She is the one with the qualifications of a mage. But, you also know, although my mother and aunt can be said to be from a family of mage... But they are nothing more than that. There is a grandfather who is always a level 2 mage. The family can maintain a decent level of existence entirely because his descendants basically all have some mage qualifications.

Not every branch of the Heinalson family is like ours, which is always married to a family that has produced a mage.

After arriving at the Tower of Black Mystery, all the marriages started in order to stand firm here, especially the marriages with the apprentice families in the town hall, were actually based on those branches.

Being able to marry my mother and aunt with our family background is naturally because they both show some attributes of a mage.

Although they can only use magic tricks to release small balls of light, they do have them.

So it’s not surprising that both my sister and I are qualified as mages... What’s surprising is that my aunt has never had such a child. "

"Oh, by the way, I remembered. Your aunt seems to be more than 20 years older than your mother, right?" Russell suddenly remembered... Although their family didn't like to discuss such gossip, he I have heard that the Tver family is quite dissatisfied with the lady's bloodline because several of their children do not have the qualifications to be magicians.

Therefore, the fact that Carpenter's mother would marry in later may have something to do with this rumor... Her mother's family relied on marriage to support itself! Such words really hurt their family a lot.

Carpenter has two older brothers, although their qualifications are not that good... Generally speaking, this refers to magic trick contestants... but there are indeed, and this matter has not been further fermented.

Then, the Tver family seemed to have a boy with mage qualifications, and the matter disappeared completely, and no one talked about it again.

But similarly, Carpenter's mother's family was unwilling to send another daughter to the Heinalson family to be ruined.

This makes many people in the Heinalson family regretful. Really, there are not many mage families willing to marry their children with mage qualifications into small town families.

Even if the bride price is very expensive... the mage in the Tower of Black Mystery actually pays a higher price.

But girls like this who only have some blood but are not even able to become mage apprentices are basically used as mistresses.

I don’t know if Carpenter’s mother’s family still has some blood ties, or if the grandfather is unwilling to let his face fall completely to the ground. The girls in their family can only be married off, not sold.

After Carpenter appeared, many people in the Heinalson family seemed to be fed up with the Tver family, so even if it was later discovered that the boy was obviously not of the family's blood, no one made the decision: after all, their family was from outside. He has his own unique appearance, which is quite different from the locals of Black Mystery Tower.

There wasn't even a hair on that boy's face that looked like Heinalson, and only a fool couldn't tell that.

"Hmm..." Russell belatedly understood the meaning of Carpenter's words, "Is your aunt and mistress actually from the Tower of Darkness?"

"Can you not say it so harshly?" Carpenter muttered, "What should I do?

The fact that he was able to come in and get West to send a message must not be because of the Heinalson family's abilities! "

"West also has factions." Russell said softly, "He is willing to help spread the word, not necessarily because the other party's strength can suppress him."

"Huh?" Carpenter understood what he meant, "You mean, just ignore him?"

"West, you're quite flexible." Russell turned around and took Carpenter's arm and walked quickly to the hall, "Just cut off the contact."

"What if he contacts us again?" Carpenter said a little uneasily, "What if his father brings him to our door?

I heard my mother say that my auntie, my lover, has a very high status. "

"Why do you listen to what they say?" Russell, who was walking in front, couldn't help but sneer, "Of course your aunt would say that. She has been angry for so long, how can she be willing to do it without tormenting the Tver family to death?

No one in the family even cares about this kind of thing. Even Ulrich, who values ​​the family's reputation so much, doesn't say a word. You should know that everyone is understanding.

They asked for it themselves.

But you should understand that the person she is looking for is definitely not as high-status as our teacher...Strength is indeed very useful sometimes, but in the face of our teacher's status, strength can also be discounted.

Something that no one cares about means that it has no impact on the family, good or bad.

Are you frightened by your aunt's bragging?

Eh? By the way, you haven't said yet, why is your cousin causing trouble for you?

Your mother is very kind to her sisters! "

"Probably, unwilling to give in?" Carpenter said a little confused, "Not long after he left the apprentice dormitory, he became an intermediate apprentice.

Hmm...I guess I got a little help from that person, so he seems to think that the family didn't give him what he should have.

Especially when my side is getting better and better. "

"He doesn't think his qualifications are similar to yours, right?" Russell asked directly, "You can't become an intermediate apprentice on your own at the age of 16, so what qualifications do you need?"

"Who knows?" Carpenter shrugged, "My aunt is a person who is too lazy to care about those things, so I don't see him much.

I just feel that he hates me, and his attitude towards me was not very good during those years in the apprentice dormitory. But I have been following you, and he has never directly troubled me. "

Russell suddenly stopped: "Did he eat something to suddenly become an intermediate apprentice?

So, what now? Is he a mage? "

"Never heard of it!" Carpenter affirmed.
