Chapter 279: Epilogue (I) The King of the Demon Tower
This day has finally come.
Richard stood in front of a huge mirror that reflected the dark dome and the dark ground, and a silent man.
Pale mask, black robe without any ornamentation, holding a gem-encrusted cane in his hand.
Violet stood a few paces behind him, her head bowed slightly in a respectful manner.
"Willy, are you ready?"
After a moment, the man spoke in a deep voice.
"Of course, dear teacher."
The blonde witch looked up with a pleasant, soft smile on her face.
Unlike Richard, who was as simple as ever, the young witch was no longer dressed as plainly as usual. Instead of wearing the oversized black scholar's gown, she changed into a tunic that more closely followed the curves of her body.
The color of the skirt is still black as the main color, this is a conservative style of long skirt, it does not look fancy, only a few inches of calf, arms and neck skin, velvety soft fabric inlaid with sparkling diamonds, like a starry night, noble and elegant, at a glance you know that it is from the hands of famous artists; The girl's cheeks were painted with light makeup, and there were crystal jewelry on her neck and hands, which set off her fair skin.
He had the impression that Villerlet had never dressed up like this, even in the years when he had not yet become "Raspuchin".
The witch's friend, Sycodi, is also not a showy person, and usually wears school robes, rather than focusing on other pampered young witches. But when presiding over various meetings, Silky still changes into beautiful clothes.
Only Willett is different. She hardly participates in the wizarding gatherings on the tower, and when she has to appear, she is always dressed in a black robe. Although it does not make Villelet unobtrusive in the eyes of everyone, it can be seen that she is the kind of woman who does not care about the eyes of others.
Therefore, today is the first time that Richard has seen a witch willing to take the initiative to dress herself, which can't help but light up in his eyes. This may be because today is the biggest "ball" for Villerett.
Willett was the leading student of the Rasputin School, a status that once symbolized her as the top talent of the younger generation on the tower, but after today, this rare glory will go even further.
The Tower is ruled by Rasputin Nowikh, and the school he leads will become the absolute and unshakable core of the Tower; Or rather. All the inhabitants of the Tower are equal to members of the School.
In this way, his only student, Willett, can even be regarded as the future successor of the entire magic tower.
Richard believes that as the master of the artifact "Spark Furnace", this role is perfect for her.
"Hey, aren't you two leaving?"
The figure of the female knight appeared at the end of the mirrored corridor, greeting them from afar.
"Miss Borgia, are you going to show up today? Aren't you afraid of news leaks? ”
The one who spoke was Villeret. Richard no longer hid the identity of the knight from her.
"For the master, today is probably the most important day after his return to the world. How could I, as a subordinate, not participate? ”
Miss Joan replied with a smile.
…… Is it the most important?
Richard thought for a moment and shook his head unconsciously.
If we start counting from the day of the crossing, the day of Rasputin's death, the day he met his real name, is the real most important day.
He looked to his side, and the only person who could stand side by side with him at this time was quietly watching him with those dark jade pupils.
For Richard, it seems that as long as she is still here, no matter what situation she finds herself in the future, she can face it calmly.
"Looks like you'll need to stay sooner or later, Borgia." "Because in the future, this level of 'big day' is only going to increase, and you can't just run around all the time." ”
The female knight burst out laughing.
"As you wish."
*
Hours later.
Richard stood on the edge of the tower, motionless, his robe fluttering in the wind. Two other legendary wizards stood behind him, with the black-robed wizard in the center and the most conspicuous.
Below the tower, a member of the Life Management Committee was reading aloud the Steppenwolf Council's resolution to the people in the plaza.
The wind was blowing, and the audience was silent.
Even if someone had already received the news in advance, they would still be shocked by the decision.
As a group of people at the pinnacle of the mysterious world, Steppenwolf is loosely organized, but it is the most common sense; Because it is very difficult to choose a long-term leader from a group of legendary wizards—if not impossible
If you change to a knight, even if you reach the legendary rank, you may still remain loyal to the person you once were loyal to; But wizards are different, and those who can get to this point are all extremely arrogant and cannot easily obey others.
Some believe that Raspuchin, who can be publicly elected as a leader, has long surpassed his original rank.
However, even Mr. Marion Green, who was the most powerful in terms of strength and school power in the past, failed to do so, and instead ended up losing the civil war...... And how exactly did Rasputin do it?
It's a mystery to the inhabitants of the Tower.
Richard knew that he would not have been able to sit in this position so easily without Mr. Evelyn's unspeakable secrets, and without the whims of a knightess. From the victor of the civil war to the king of the magic tower, I am afraid it will be a long time to waste.
If anyone knows the truth, they may think "it's just so" -
However, that's just "for now". Soon, no one will care about such a trivial matter anymore; Or maybe more people will be willing to take the initiative to fill up the whole backstory for him.
Richard was confident.
“…… Now, then, I would like to ask our great leader, the current ruler of the Magic Tower, Lord Raspuchin Nowikh, to announce a few things to you. ”
The host's voice floated into the sky.
The black-robed wizard took a step forward.
He looked down at the dense crowd in the square and quietly clenched his cane.
At that moment, everyone's eyes were on themselves.
Richard never had the experience of being the center of attention for tens of thousands. At this moment, he is at the peak of a huge force that can subvert a country, but his mood is not as nervous as he imagined.
Tens of thousands of extraordinary beings, but none of them could see it, a black-haired girl floating in the air, quietly holding the leader's hand.
The two of them held the cane, which was no more than half a man tall, as if they were holding power and power tightly in the palm of their hands.
Share the glory together, bear the heavy responsibility together, and look forward to the future together.
Behind him, Villette Edward, Joan Bolgia, Evelyn Illiktra, Rorel Garcia...... His loyal subordinates, friends and associates all watched his back.
Richard took a deep, deep breath.
