Unlike when Richard and Evelyn appeared, when people subconsciously stopped talking because of their awe of the legendary wizard, the silence at this time was achieved by personal skill, and only the host of the party could do this.

This host needs to have a wide range of popularity in the tower, a suitable status, and the ability to be recognized by the vast majority of people to be able to take on such a responsibility.

As mentioned more than once before, the internal power struggle above the magic tower has intensified and has entered a white-hot stage, in this case, it can also suppress people who do not belong to the same camp, so that everyone at the banquet can listen to their words, which requires not only talent, but also a brilliant mind, and needs to establish their excellent image in a few years, win the courtesy and respect of whether it is the same camp, the hostile camp or even neutral people, and become a young genius who has gone through countless tests, The new generation of leaders of the magic tower who can also stand out -

The reason for this is because the host is now a young girl under twenty years old in the prime of her cardamom years, the chief student of the Longman Hall School, and Richard Miller, who had a brief exchange with Richard not long ago.

At this moment, everyone's eyes are focused on Poetry's body, and her face is a very indifferent expression, obviously used to this kind of occasion, even if she is noticed by everyone, she can still handle everything with ease, which requires self-confidence, but also needs outstanding talent to support self-confidence.

"My teacher, Lord Longman Hall, has just arrived, and the fireside meeting of the leaders is about to begin......

She began to speak calmly. The crisp and melodious voice echoed above the heads of the wizards.

……

Richard, who was watching all of this, couldn't help but blink.

There was a brief encounter between him and Sycodi. But at the time, apart from his amazement at the witch's appearance, he didn't feel any astonishing qualities in her.

Truth be told, although Poeti had been trying to appear calm in front of him, that overly nervous state of mind could not be faked. The people of the Tower were all in awe of their leader, which in itself was not something to be surprised about; But on the other hand, because of this natural sense of awe, it is difficult for people who lose their bearings to achieve anything.

However, it seems that Miss Scotti herself is not a timid and cowardly incompetent; If this is the case, there must be some other reason for the uneasiness and nervousness she exudes when facing herself, which is caused by some special reason.

…… Is that against the "legendary wizard", or rather, against the "Raspuchin" himself?

"This girl is really amazing."

The blonde young man on the side sighed sincerely.

"At least it's much smarter than Percy's kid."

Percy ...... Richard thought to himself that he knew the name, Percy Martz, the leading student of the Evelyn School. Richard already knew from the recent deal that Mr. Evelyn valued his student, and since the other party would say so, Poetic Miller's talent should not be disguised.

He then learns from the blonde youth that Sykodi is considered to be the best wizard of the younger generation in the tower. Not long ago, she was successfully promoted to level 5 wizard, and she is the first chief student to be judged by the "High Wizard" rank so far. Moreover, Sykodi not only excels in learning magic, but is also the right-hand man of her teacher Longman Hall, and currently serves as the leader of the most powerful magic association on the magic tower: the "Black Blood Society", and is worthy of the name of the second person in the Longman School.

In the past few years, Longman Hall's power has grown in the tower, and even the Black Blood Society has ascended to the throne of the strongest association in one fell swoop, which is inseparable from the ability of Shikodi himself.

This is indeed a rare thing for a young wizard, because even the chief student of the best representatives of the various schools of thought only grows up under the protection of the teacher more often than not. They can share part of the work for the teacher, but like Shi Kodi, the chief student who can be in charge at the age of a teenager is rare in the history of the magic tower. At least not the other two current top students, Reed Joyce and Percy Martz, can't do that.

Not to mention that she is now. Seriously, Scotti began to participate in the power struggle of the Magic Tower a few years ago, when the witch was only twelve or thirteen years old. This is no longer something that can be described by ordinary "genius".

Richard and Evelyn returned to the room with the burning fireplace.

Needless to say, the two legendary wizards at the top of the stairs noticed that there were new visitors to the room. And it's not just his teacher that Sykodi mentioned...... In fact, all the members of the "Steppenwolf" council have already arrived.

"Oh, it looks like everyone is here."

The blonde youth smiled, put his hand on the door, and gently pushed it open.

Richard, who was following behind, began to pound almost uncontrollably. But he was mentally prepared for a long time, so he was able to adjust quickly.

Now he is calm enough to deal with accidents and challenges. At least Richard wanted to believe that.

……

The glow of the fireplace reflected on the walls, accompanied by the sound of crackling firewood burning, and the vibrant shadows fell vibrantly. The décor in the room is not extravagant, with a white skull of a beast hanging from the side wall and a blanket embroidered with exotic patterns on the other. On a gloomy wooden floor, there are five armchairs that form an irregular oval around the central fireplace.

The glow of the stove divides the room into a vast expanse of darkness and a rare light. On three of the chairs, there were already people. Their faces are all submerged in shadows, revealing only their outlines, making it difficult to see clearly.

The eyes of the three in the shadows all fell on him and Mr. Evelyn.

"The atmosphere was really serious. Did anything good happen? ”

The blonde youth was unimpressed and walked towards one of the seats.

"You're late."

Raspuchin's voice was slightly hoarse.

"I'm sorry, Rasputin, Lorel and I are both old people, and our legs are not very convenient." The man who spoke was the elder of the three, his beard and hair were all white, but his pupils were still as clear and bright as those of a young man. At this time, he was facing the masked man with a kind smile, "I hope you can understand." ”

Rasputin did not answer, and sat down in the chair that belonged to him.

With him taking his seat, the fireside meeting of the new year in the magic tower officially began.
