"Of course, I can't guarantee that you will become a great leader, because no one can guarantee the future, not even the rumored 'Prophecy Witch'. But unlike others, at the very least, I can see hope in you. ”

Richard quietly glanced at Ms. Garcia and Mr. Evelyn beside him.

Despite what Mr. Hall said that sounded rude to them, the two men did not seem to be angry......

Of course, because of the other party's disrespectful words, it is not impossible for them to suddenly turn their faces and make a move, but even so, Richard still understands that they are not really angry.

Even if you want to fight, it's not because you're insulted and angry.

From this, he learned one thing: Longman Hall was right, no one among the Steppenwolf members was a good leader, and they themselves knew it—even Evelyn, who was known for his leniency towards his subordinates. Otherwise, he would not have behaved so indifferently to Mr. Hall's words.

On the plus side, it's because wizards have higher goals and are less likely to become enemies of others in the struggle for power. Even if one day the magic tower falls, they won't take it to heart.

But this path did not suit Richard.

He wasn't going to give up the Magic Tower. Whether it's for the people on the tower, or for the tower itself, this place carries almost all of his memories since he crossed over.

"After I leave, I will take away those who are willing to follow me in the Black Blood Society, but the rest of those who are unwilling to leave, as well as all the property left within the school, will be handed over to you. Mr. Rasputchin, I have paid you in advance, and I hope you will treat it well in the future. ”

"The Magic Tower doesn't belong to you in the first place, it's meaningless."

"Hahaha! That's right. ”

Longman Hall's laughter was hearty, a far cry from the gloomy impression he had in the past.

"I lost my words. In my eyes, whether you can become a qualified leader or not, if I really can't beat you, I will definitely not be willing to give up...... We are adversaries, we have been, and we may continue to be. So, you really don't need to take my words to heart. ”

"Then don't take what I left behind as a reward, but as a gift, a gift from my undefeated competitor to the winner."

……

Richard offered to throw a banquet or ceremony to bid farewell to Longman Hall. Of course, he was rejected by the other party.

Mr. Hall had already made up his mind to leave, and there was no way he could force him to stay.

The other two didn't matter, after all, they had come with Richard, and their goal was only to stabilize the internal situation in the Tower and to promote Rasputin Nowvih as the leader of Steppenwolf.

Richard felt regretful: it meant the loss of one more member of Steppenwolf, and the loss of each legendary wizard was an irreparable loss for the Tower; What's more, it would be more reassuring to have someone like Longman Hall willing to be his companion, just like the two made a temporary alliance in this civil war.

But? The departure of a strong contender in the base camp? It's a good thing after all. Without the obstruction of the Hall School and the Black Blood Society? Will the centripetal force around Rasputin himself become more solid and perfect? He was able to quickly unite the Tower into a single whole.

Even if a finger is missing? As long as he can squeeze it into a fist, he can still exert far more powerful power than in the past, he has always felt so.

……

Hall moved even faster than he expected. When the wizards were done talking, he left his room? Flying to the White Tower, it seems that he has no attachment to his school.

Ms. Garcia took the lead and left? She had something to say to Mr. Douglas from the White Tower.

"It seems? Mr. Hall still felt a little unwilling to be defeated without a fight. What did you just say? It doesn't sound like he used to be. ”

Mr. Evelyn said with a smile.

"Maybe it's because you never knew the real him in the past."

"Is it possible? But it doesn't matter to me. The blonde youth shrugged, "It's you, should you be careful when you meet him in the future?" My esteemed leader. As he said, you still have the potential to be adversaries in the future. Because? With his ability and ambition, I'm afraid he won't be satisfied just because he is a member of the White Tower Alliance. ”

The black-robed wizard bowed slightly, expressing his approval. Later, he said:

"That's for later. Now, let's get together and disperse. ”

Longman Hall will follow through with a style that never drags its feet and does things with vigor and vigor. After he made up his mind to leave, the Hall School's aftermath was dealt with more quickly than expected.

One thing I don't know if it was expected: as a result, nearly a tenth of the entire tower left with him.

That's a staggering number. Although Mr. Hall is one of the five at the top of the Tower, no matter how many people have supported him in the past, the determination to leave the Tower with him now is not as simple as a verbal commitment or joining an organization on the Tower.

As for the composition of this part of the population, it is not so much that the entire Hall School has migrated en masse, but rather that almost the entire Black Blood Society has chosen to continue to follow the leader, regardless of which school this group of members originally came from.

It can be seen that Longman Hall made the right decision, and in terms of organization, the association that rally around the supreme leader is more reliable than the loose school.

The road ahead was already in front of him, and that was what Richard was about to do.

……

A week later, the day of farewell finally came.

Those who left voluntarily have been relocated.

Longman Hall and his team are patiently doing this: moving a group of people from their accustomed living environment to another place, even if he is the leader of the same language, requires careful attention to the perception of his subordinates.

Richard was equally patient.

In a sense, what he wants to do will be more radical than Longman Hall, and his methods will be more drastic in order to bring about a radical change in the Magic Tower. It's not a bad thing to swing and someone else leaves.

The black-robed wizard stood at the top of the tower, holding a red wine glass, quietly overlooking the wide square below.

A large number of wizards gathered around the fence, and even the scholars who usually soaked in the laboratory and library came out.

Everyone looked up at the rumbling white tower not far away. After a week of hovering, it was about to take off again and leave the wasteland.

The departure of Longman Hall and the Black Blood Society was the biggest news since the end of the Civil War, and no one was not shocked by it.

Some people are frustrated by it, while others are excited; Some people are worried that after two "setbacks" of civil war and division, the magic tower. It seems that it is inevitably declining, and some people are secretly glad that after the loss of a large number of people, the remaining wizards will undoubtedly have more opportunities to make their way on the tower, and the resources they can allocate will be more abundant......

Others are already vaguely aware of the change of power and the turn of decision-making in the upper echelons, and are feeling uneasy about the arrival of unknown changes.

Only one thing is clear to all: after today, the tower will say goodbye to the past.

Richard took a sip of red wine and narrowed his eyes slightly.

At the end of the endless sky, a faint and warm light emerges, as if to indicate that a new era is coming, with far-reaching implications; The magic tower will also usher in a new future and sail in a more magnificent world.

Maya, New World, Underground Sea...... Under the vast world and above the earth, the forces are vertical and horizontal, like a hundred ships competing for the current, and the newborn magic tower is destined to compete for the position of the head ship.

And he will be at the helm of this huge ship.

Suddenly, Richard seemed to sense something. The masked black-robed wizard looked up at the top of the White Tower. There was also a man with a drink, looking down on him.

Richard raised his glass and gestured at him.

The middle-aged man smiled slightly, drank all the wine in the cup, and turned to leave.

……

The White Tower has finally taken off.

With thunderous vibrations and sounds, it pierced through the clouds and flew high into the air, eventually disappearing from view, leaving only a faint bruise in the clouds.
