Chapter 36: The Silver Witch (Part II)

As the chief student, Poeti met the directors of the Novich school more than once. According to the other party, this adult has a moody side. Their leaders, though rarely interfere in their affairs, do not mean that they are easy to deal with. On the contrary, it requires more superior ability and absolute loyalty on the part of subordinates, who can be "eliminated" if they are not careful.

When confronted with the wizard leader's question, he can only answer it instantly. Poetry's mind flashed with all sorts of answers, but she ultimately decided to choose honesty. Fortunately, the other party did not embarrass himself, and even though Sycody replied "I don't know", Lord Rasputin did not seem to take it to heart.

"I'm sorry, Lord Raspuchin, but this is my lack of ability......"

Rasputin rubbed the tip of the serpent's staff, and there was no emotion in his tone.

"That's true. At least not stupid enough to lie in front of me, though. ”

"Thank you for your magnanimity."

"The other wizard leaders haven't come yet......"

Looking at the back of the silver-haired girl, Richard's mood relaxed a little.

He felt that his actions in the past half day could be called "frightening step by step". He had to desperately turn his brain all the time, squeezing his thoughts. This is the first time I have experienced such a stressful and exciting experience, so that I will inevitably feel tired mentally. It is the most dangerous situation to have a position that can theoretically be unscrupulous, but not to have the power to match.

In fact, the group of people who served the wizard leader were full of awe of Raspuchin. Richard seized the rank of Rasputchin, and no one could see through the disguise on the surface. As long as he doesn't make a move, the possibility of being exposed is not very great, and now this cautious state may be that he is making a little fuss, but he can't feel at ease anyway.

Now he is still in the stage of "imitation". In this process, as long as one person has doubts about Richard, this doubt is likely to be amplified in the following days, and eventually swallow himself completely. He must not arouse anyone's suspicion until he has a chance to leave the Magic Tower.

The reason why I chose to help Silky just now is precisely for this reason.

If it weren't his business, Richard would naturally choose to sit on the sidelines; But obviously, if he didn't do anything at that time, the two would probably have a conflict next. At that point, as the leader of the wizards, he must be punished, even if Richard himself does not have the frivolous idea that "his dignity is being challenged", but he must do so in order to avoid arousing suspicion.

But how is punishment to be applied? He has no memory of Rasputin and does not know how "Rasputchin" would act in the face of such a situation; What's more, he doesn't have any normal spellcasting abilities, which can be a very tricky problem. The best way to deal with it is to let it not happen in the first place.

Richard made a decision, and with an understatement, he overshadowed the matter. In terms of results, he did succeed, which is a relief.

As for why he chose the side of Scotti...... On the one hand, there is a man who has had a conflict with him, although one side does not know, but it is a young and beautiful girl, isn't it natural to choose which side?

……

The two came to the side of the hallway. Silky grabbed the brass handle and pulled a red wooden door open.

In the center is a fireplace, which burns with fire, and the wood crackles, leaving a faint fragrance in the room. Five wide seats, similar in style to a sofa, sit just near the fireplace.

"Please wait here for a moment, Lord Rasputchin."

The girl asked in a whisper as she bowed to him.

"Do you have any other orders?"

By this time, Richard had already had some recollection. He knew that Reed Joyce was the spokesperson for a wizarding leader, and that the silver-haired girl in front of him would be at odds with Reed, meaning that she was likely to be the same chief student, but it was not clear which one her teacher was.

The two represent the power of the different factions on the Magic Tower. Their relationship is not good, and it can even be called "-for-tat", which shows that Reed Joyce and the silver-haired girl belong to each other's opposing schools. Richard could now guess the reason behind the scene that had taken place on the periphery of the hall: the two chief students had probably been ordered by their teachers to talk to him.

As mentioned before, the power within the Magic Tower is not monolithic, there are fierce contradictions between leaders and leaders, and the forces of internal schools and associations are intricate. Richard felt his head start to hurt again, because he was in the center of a whirlpool of power, as if he were standing in the center of a storm. The surroundings seem to be calm, but if you take a wrong step, you may be crushed.

He had to gather intelligence and prepare in advance. Of course, this can't happen anytime soon. He couldn't ask the girl in front of him, let alone say anything superfluous, and he couldn't listen to it, after all, his primary goal was to play the role of Raspuchin, and he must not be exposed.

Richard didn't answer, instead looking at the floor-to-ceiling window on one side of the room. The dull gray color of the glass told him that it was a window that could only be seen from the inside out.

Richard walked past Sycody and came to the floor-to-ceiling window, overlooking the banquet on the ground. There were men and women who came and went, all dressed in ornate gowns, and none wore wizards' robes, but Richard could still see something out of the ordinary.

The crowd is clearly divided into two categories. On one side is a group of people with very different temperaments from ordinary people, that is, the wizard on the tower; And the other side is closer to the average person. However, this group of people is often accompanied by tall and strong people, all of whom seem to be full of guards, and they should be bodyguards and other roles.

To accurately determine their rank, one needs the spells of the Prophecy School. Of course, the level of mana can indeed be judged to a certain extent by the amount of magic gathered when casting a spell, but this can only be seen when the wizards are in action.

"This banquet, not only the people on the tower participated?"

"Yes. For this banquet, we invited the 'earthlings', a group of nobles from the southern region of the Rhine Kingdom. ”

Poetic, who came behind him, replied.

“…… Kingdom of the Rhine? ”

Richard blinked.
