Of course, the result was not as critical as Richard had imagined, but it was even more incredible to him.

Alice didn't dare to hide anything in front of him, and directly told the other party's origin, purpose, and identity.

Evelyn Illiktra...... He turned out to be a member of the Reverse Cross? Except for the old lady, all the rest of the original Steppenwolf are related to the Reverse Cross......

He thought about it for a moment, and quickly thought of the reason.

"He contacted me as the 'hanged man,' which originally belonged to Howard Nuron, Mr. Evelyn's teacher. In other words, I can assume that he is not only victorious now, Howard is more likely to have died at his hands and was also seized by him by some means......"

However, the fact that he would wait so quickly to find his door, and the first thing he couldn't wait to do after the victory was this, meant that Evelyn had already planned for it, and even ...... One of the reasons why he is hostile to the teacher is probably to hunt for the identity of the Reverse Cross Priest. ”

"What the hell did he have in mind? Is it friend or foe? ”

Richard's expression was serious, and the thoughts in his heart turned a thousand times.

If you want to truly rule the Demon Tower, it is not enough for him alone

At the moment of Mr. Green's defeat in the Civil War, of course, this is for outsiders, in fact, he has been missing for nearly a hundred years, Steppenwolf's strength has undoubtedly been greatly weakened, and even if Borgia's power is counted on the surface, it will not be enough to fully compensate. After all, she is a knight, not a legendary wizard who can lead an entire school, and after Green's "death", his school is destined to fall apart.

What's more, the female knight also has the status of a cardinal, with a high position and authority, and it is impossible to stay by his side for a long time. Before the master and servant were ready to completely tear their faces with the Holy See, sooner or later she would need to return to the Holy City to restore her life.

In this way, the unifying force is especially central; Of the remaining three legendary wizards, Longman Hall is hardly his trusted ally, and Lady Garcia needs to fight for it, with only Evelyn being Richard's most valued ally, as the two do have the best relationship.

Although the title of "best friend" is mostly called by the other party, at least he has not mentioned it to others.

Evelyn has never shown hostility or competitive intent in front of her, which is why she is considered the most suitable person to woo her, and I am afraid that Mr. Hall thinks the same way.

The only problem was that Richard could tell that the man had been hiding something. If you don't figure it out, this is likely to be an obstacle......

"Oh, you said that Mr. Evelyn."

Miss Borgia blinked.

"It seems to me that there is something unnatural about him, and there is more than one place."

"Can you tell me about it?"

"Hmmm......"

She thought about it very seriously before replying.

"You know, it's the same observation, and a person like me will definitely be more accustomed to paying attention to other people's bodies, for example, the way he walks, the swing of his limbs, the curves of his muscles, etc., whether he has undergone training, whether he has practiced breathing, you can see it at a glance. For example, you, the master, are now a rookie knight who has just entered the threshold. ”

"And in my eyes, Evelyn Illiktra doesn't look like a wizard at all...... It's not even like the average human being. ”

"What does that mean?"

"On the one hand, he has a very strong body, and since I haven't played against him officially, I can't figure out the specific strength of this man, but at least ...... His physical strength should be in the position of a great knight. ”

Richard took a deep breath.

The news was enough to shock him.

Because it is well known that knights and wizards have conflicts in the adaptation of magic to the physique, and they are two extraordinary systems that cannot coexist at the same time.

Even if it was Richard, who signed a contract with the Demon God, the reason why he could focus on the knight cultivation method was actually because he did not officially become a wizard, but accepted the permission of others, and his physique was completely different from that of ordinary legendary wizards.

But Evelyn Irakatra is a legendary wizard who has been famous for more than a hundred years...... 7 Q

"I believe in my own vision."

Said the knightess.

"It's just that that person's body has undergone special treatment, so I can't see the details clearly."

“…… Is it. ”

"Maybe that guy turned out to be a woman, and then changed his body to a man."

Qiong An suddenly thought of something and said half-jokingly.

"It's not a difficult thing for a legendary wizard in the realm of life to perform an operation of this magnitude, right? Even I can disguise myself as a man and make sure that I won't be seen through by others. ”

Thinking of the enthusiastic face of the blond young man, Richard couldn't help but shudder.

No way......?

*

Whatever the facts, he had to meet the other side, both as the one who had killed the Apostle of the Cross and as the wizarding leader destined to rule the Tower in the future.

The Botanical Pavilion, home to the Evelyn School, was destroyed by the aftermath of the Great War and is now in ruins. The ruins are entwined with green vines, flowers and plants are splashed into mud, and tree trunks are broken and fall to the ground, which is quite a bit of post-apocalyptic desolation, and from time to time you can see frightened beasts and demons running around.

Less than half an hour had passed since the war had ceased, but the people of the Evelyn school had not been idle. They began to organize their men under the leadership of the higher-ups, and people returned from outside the towers or out of underground shelters, and together with their companions, they reincarcerated the escaped "test subjects" into the captivity facility; As for the dead creatures, they need to be gathered and placed in the temporary corpse storage area to avoid contamination and prepare for the future restoration.

When Richard saw this busy scene, the big stone in his heart fell a little.

In the light of the fierce infighting that had only recently taken place, the rest of the Evelyn school would not have dared to take the liberty of initiating the renovation work, and it was only Mr. Evelyn himself who gave the order.

And since he gave such an order, to a certain extent, it implied that he would continue to maintain the identity of Steppenwolf in the future, and had no intention of leaving the magic tower or clashing head-on with others.

Without attracting the attention of others, Richard made a few circles and came to the front of the waterfall.

It was here that Richard conferred with Evelyn before the Civil War began.

Realizing that the feud between master and apprentice would be irreparable, Richard persuaded Longman Hall to abandon his cooperation with Howard Newlen and win over this ally.

"Long time no see, my dear friend!"

The blond young man was standing at the bottom of the waterfall, and when he noticed his approach, he looked up and greeted him with a smile on his face.

“…… We've met in less than a day. ”

"Haha, this is called 'one day is like three autumns'."

Evelyn walked up to him, the smile on her face narrowing slightly.

"Mr. Rasputin, since you are here, it means that the main priest of the Cross, the 'Wheel of Fortune' lurking on the magic tower—is that you?"

His question was straight to the point and very straightforward, and Richard did not mean to hide it, and replied lightly:

"It's too much of an exaggeration to say 'latent', it's just that with a little more identity, it will be easier to do certain things. For me, what is more important is the affairs on the magic tower. ”

He made his position straightforward.

Evelyn looked at the black-robed wizard in silence for a moment, then laughed again.

"That'll be easy, Mr. Rasputchin. Let's make a deal. ”
