Felis could clearly understand Russell's words, although hesitant, were tinged with encouragement and support.
Russell knew well that if Felis chose to follow the people from Sia Tower, they would inevitably become opponents... Even if he chose not to be Russell's enemy, they could no longer continue to be friendly.
Yet he still brought it up.
Felis quickly judged one thing: His talent leaning towards the soul was not just a trait of the Tower of Dark Enigma; quite possibly, the mastermind behind Sia Tower might also be adept at soul spells.
Russell's teacher seemed to hint at something between the lines... That's why Russell gave him this suggestion.
Compared to solely relying on self-study... Ruth's help could only go so far, no matter how outstanding Felis performed, nothing would change until he became a Seventh Circle Mage.
However, if he really managed to become a Seventh Circle Mage on his own, then there would be no need for anyone to change their attitude.
