Russell had no choice.
Even though he still harbored doubts, this was already his best opportunity.
Moreover, rather than entering the Tower of Dark Enigma and being tormented to madness, it was better to take a risk here once.
Russell knew very well that if he wanted to find an opportunity to advance as a mage before entering the Sia Tower, he would face life-threatening danger in the Tower of Dark Enigma quite often.
He knew himself well and also knew his sister, Carpenter... If he really had to go in, Carpenter would give this opportunity to him.
Even if it meant he might die, and Carpenter might be married off to another family because of his failure, she would still give it to him.
Because it meant that Russell was certain this was their only chance for survival.
As long as Russell persisted, being the one who could hold him back the most... Family would fade away with time, but at least Carpenter, as a mage apprentice, could live to be at least 100 years old.
