Section 454 The X Nature of Ascending X (19)
Shards snorted. "What do you know? He promised me...."
"He'll forget about it then." Hughes said. "Wasn't that how it used to be? No matter what Professor Hallwick says, when the actual rewards are actually distributed, they are always only based on contributions, the so-called 'rewards for meritorious deeds'. ”
"Even if that were the case, should I go to him?" Scharz snorted again. "What if I go and help those nobles?"
"You and I both know that it can't be." Hughes said. "Because they're going to lose."
"You're pretty sure." Schalz looked at Hughes.
"You should also know how strong Professor Hallwick really is." Hughes said. "He studied it for so long and succeeded for so long before he launched this challenge. It seemed to me that he had not taken the nobles seriously at all, and that the battle was nothing more than an ordinary experiment in his eyes. ”
"Really? How did I hear that his students were suffering heavy casualties? Shards asked.
"Yes." Hughes said. "Several assistants who were with him from time to time had problems. Toby defected, Harrison died, Joey should have died too, and Tristan went into a panic...."
"Yes." Schalz said. "That's it, you still think he's going to win?"
"Of course." Hughes said. "Because he doesn't care about these losses at all."
"Christian, who is in charge of the warehouse, and Marcus, who is in charge of the archives, were immediately appointed to lead the team. With enough materials, they can also cast powerful magic and defeat the noble team in front of them. ”
"What I want to say to you is this: now is the best time for you to contribute to the mage group. If you make a move to defeat the Lucilles' forces, no one will be able to deny your merit when the battle is over. ”
"It seems to make some sense." Schalz thought about it for a moment and said. "But what if the nobles win?"
"There's no way they're going to win." Hughes repeats this point again. "Did you find out when the magic bomb was activated?"
"Magic bomb?" Scharz wondered. "How don't you know?"
"Did you notice?" Hughes said. "At the beginning of the battle, Halwick had no intention of activating the magic bomb at all--- even mentioning it. On the front, after Joey's team was defeated, almost instantly, magic bombs were activated in countless places. ”
"The Lucille family is not afraid of this kind of prop." Schalz said. "At best, it's just a deal with other nobles."
"It could be so." Hughes said. "But if he was activated in the first place, do you think the nobles would still be able to inflict such casualties on his men?"
Hearing Hughes's statement, Scharz paused slightly. "What do you want to say?"
"In my opinion, he did it on purpose." Hughes said. "For him, the attacks of the nobles are a means of screening his subordinates for the new era."
"It's... It can't be. Shards and Hughes were amazed.
"Professor Halwick is still in the lab." Hughes said. "You know what? When did he do this when he did it before? ”
"Even if you're there, you can't change anything." The mage beside Hughes said. "However, this experiment..."
"The 'delayed damage' he has prepared will protect the mages on his side to the greatest extent." Hughes said. "Magic bombs are infinitely powerful when they are properly used. But he didn't come up with it in the first place..."
Moreover, he did not participate in the war himself, and stayed in the laboratory in the rear. When did he do this other than experiments with complete certainty? ”
"I think it just says one thing: he thinks he's in control of everything and he's thinking about the future."
"I don't believe it, is he so cruel?" Schalz was surprised.
"He's been saying things like 'unity,' 'taking care of the overall situation,' 'saving everyone,' and things like that." Hughes said. "But would a man who really believes in these things ignore the rulings of the law and treat the nobles as experiments?"
"You... Then is he going to be tied up and let the nobles catch him? The mage next to Hughes said with some dissatisfaction.
"Of course." Hughes said. "I have no problem with his rebellion against the nobles. However, Mr. Harwick's temperament is therefore also obvious. ”
He was by no means a man of generosity and kindness, as he usually suggested. Behind that magnanimity, there is a shadow, something very terrible. ”
"Is that going to be the case?" Shards muttered to himself. "He...."
"In this experiment, on the one hand, he used the students to defeat the nobles, and on the other hand, he also used the nobles to eliminate his unqualified students." Hughes said.
"After doing a good job of prevention, the ---- who are stupid enough to be killed in this conflict are the ones who are not good enough to occupy high positions in the future. Even if he died, he wouldn't have heartache and wouldn't care.... In addition to these two spells, it is likely that he had something else prepared. ”
"What do you think it will be?" Schalz asked.
"I don't know." Hughes said. "But, no doubt, there will be. This conflict is a war for the nobles, an experiment for some mages, but for Professor Harwick, it is more like a promotion exam, and those who are still killed after so many guarantees are not eligible to continue to stay in the mage group. ”
The mage beside him took a deep breath, then shook his head in disbelief. Then, Schalz looked at Hughes.
"It's just your guess." He said.
"There is no other reason why Mr. Halwick still hasn't moved on to this matter." Hughes said. "If he strikes in time, how can Joey be defeated by the Lucilles?"
This time, Scharz lowered his head and groaned, not making a sound.
"I'm afraid, this is also an assessment of bystanders." Hughes continued. "If you think you're evenly matched and want to demand favors from him, he has a good reason to squeeze you out after the fight."
"Let me think about it," said Schalz. Maybe...."
"Mr. Harwick is a mage. What's the big deal for a mage to lose some material in an experiment? ”
Hughes didn't stop and continued.
"Why did he consider this operation an experiment? In normal times, he values all his students and subordinates, and tries his best to protect everyone's safety and avoid any sacrifices. But in the process of conducting the experiment, his emphasis became to ensure the success of the experiment. ”
