Richard collected combustibles from the room where he was resting, placed them on the corpse stripped of all his belongings, and then set Rasputchin's remains on fire in a lit trick. First of all, he had to start burning from the face, so he stood in front of the corpse, silently watching the other party's skin turn black, and his facial features melted and deformed in the scorching flames.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Rasputchin...... It's so that I can continue to live. ”

Looking at the wizard leader's face, he said to himself. Regardless of whether his plan succeeds or not, he is the only person in this world who can know the true face of "Novich Raspuchin".

For the sake of his own survival, Richard will force himself to stop hesitating and decisively make some choices that are morally predicatable, even if some are unscrupulous. But he believes that he must know what is right and what is not, and not make excuses for dishonorable actions, even if it is only a non-heinous act such as burning the corpses of others. There is no cure for those who are evil and do not know it.

After solving the current predicament, he also has to find a way to dispose of the charred corpse. Because ignition is only a trick, not a spell, and it cannot create a flame out of thin air, according to the classification of wizards, this trick can only attract a mortal fire like a burning fire, not a powerful magical flame.

But now Richard is no longer fooled, he thinks that the difference between mortal fire and magic flame is only the temperature of the flame. He remembers that flames of different energies are different in the color spectrum, infrared at low temperatures, so they appear red-orange, and then they rise to yellow-white, cyan and violet, and finally invisible ultraviolet rays, X-rays, and even gamma rays, and so on—of course, without taking into account the flame reaction.

Flames that change color can vary greatly in heat and power, so it's not surprising that they are considered "magic". This would not have happened in real antiquity, after all, there were technical limitations and insufficient conditions. But the Mayan world is different, it is in a civilization stage similar to Richard's understanding of antiquity, but the technological basis is the super-future scientific civilization of the previous generation.

He watched closely at the flames, which could consume the corpse's skin, fat, and some of its muscles and organs, but it was clear that it was unsustainable when it reached the bone area. This shows that the so-called "mortal fire" is indeed difficult to achieve the 800-900 °C required by modern cremation. If he wasn't an apprentice, but a higher-ranking wizard, there might be a better way.

But that's enough. As long as their identities were not revealed, no one would have realized that the charred corpse would be the original Rasputin - they wouldn't even dare to think about it. It's a limitation of thinking, and the quiet death of a legendary wizard is impossible for everyone.

……

Then, until not so long ago, the real name finally finished the job of seizing the identity. This was not easy for her, because when Richard made a request, the other party's data processing was a matter of moments, only this time, she remained silent for nearly half an hour.

Before that, Richard had already sat on the throne with his mask and clothes, desperately retrieving memories in his mind, while beginning to play the pensive Rasputin of his memory. He felt like a big demon king sitting in the middle of the palace in a video game, waiting for the brave to come to the door. And until the enemies arrived, he could only sit here and remain in the same position in a daze for no end.

Rasputin wears a face that makes it difficult to distinguish a specific body shape, which is achieved through a versatile camouflage technique. This mask was the very object that inspired him to have a bold idea in the first place. Thanks to his secretive style, otherwise it would not be easy to want Li Dai Taozhuang.

Although Richard had made his decision, he was in a state of uneasiness, and even for a moment he pessimistically thought that he was doomed.

Wizards of different ranks are determined by whether they can cast spells of that level, and on top of the tower, the chances of legendary wizards making a move are not high, and their subordinates are generally assigned to share their worries. But in fact, there are indeed spells in the wizarding world that can directly confirm each other's ranks, which will expose you in an instant. How can an apprentice hide his weakness and play the role of a legendary wizard? This is tantamount to a monkey crown.

Richard sat on the throne. After a few minutes, he felt like he was being surrounded by endless darkness and cold......

At this time, the voice of Miss Real Name sounded in his ears, and it sounded like heaven to him.

"Sir, do you feel it?"

She said.

"I have transplanted the identity of 'Novich Rasputin Joenko Lawson' to you."

- "Now you have all the rights that belong to him. ”

*

In fact, Richard felt nothing.

He didn't feel that a huge amount of magic or energy suddenly appeared in his body, and his body seemed to be bursting or something, he was still him. But there is one thing very, very strange, which is a feeling that cannot be expressed in words......

He looked up and looked around.

Beneath the huge dome, there were lights of different colors and strengths shining all around, with the one closest to him shining the brightest. This was something Richard had never seen before. Not only that, but he knew exactly what each light meant, and the moment he saw it, the "answer" came to his mind: it was a series of countless intricate symbols, thousands of times more complex than the apprentice-level spell prototype he had constructed earlier.

"Constant Spells......"

Richard muttered.

The so-called "constant" is a high-level use of spells. This application exists in all nine areas. Unlike normal spells, which end when the wizard casts them, it lasts in the void and is triggered by the outside world under certain conditions.

This kind of knowledge has never been exposed to at the bottom, let alone learned. But now it seems to be deeply imprinted in my mind, clear to the extent that I remember the purpose.

And that's not all.

Richard's fingers tapped lightly on the back of the throne.

- The invisible force that sits in the empty place is gone. Knock again, and the constant spell emerges again.

…… I see.

He was a little stunned.

As long as it is the "thing" set up by Rasputin in the past, can he control it?
