"Just using the amulet ......?"

The preacher muttered to himself, looking a little confused, but he quickly replied with a chuckle.

"Oops, that's amazing. Sure enough, every legendary wizard should not be underestimated. ”

"Not bad. Each of them possessed legendary spells that threatened any existence, even the gods on the high, needed to face up to the crystallization of human wisdom. ”

"So, Mr. Hangman." The preacher said, "It seems that you have another strong enemy who does not know the details." There's been so much going on since you left the Tower, am I right? ”

The hanged man was silent for a moment before replying in a hoarse voice.

"Yes. It's been since I was driven out of the magic tower...... That was more than 100 years ago. During this century, the Holy See was divided, and the Tower of Babel and the Anglican Church joined forces to establish the state...... None of this I knew until I woke up. Raspuchin only later joined the Steppenwolf Council. Coupled with the fact that his own style is too mysterious, I really don't know much about this man. ”

"In that case, do you need my help?"

The preacher's voice rose up, sounding in high spirits.

"I've said a long time ago that I'm interested in the 'Tower Fall Project' that Mr. Hanged Man said, can you let me be involved in it?"

"Lord Preacher, do you have any other 'latent spell marks' that you can use for others?"

"Unfortunately, no. One was used to cast a spell on a queen, and the other was used to invade a wizard's tower, and the accumulation of more than ten years had been exhausted during this time, and there was nothing left. ”

The man on the apostle's seat shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands.

"I'm empty right now. Well, I can do it myself, though. So you can rest assured, right? ”

"No, then it doesn't have to be."

The hangman replied quickly.

"It's a waste to spend your strength on such small things. And I can't afford it. ”

"Haha, this is not a trivial matter, it is not for anyone, it is the Three Towers of the Stars that exist as a sacred place in the hearts of all wizards, if I can really collapse one, it will be a 'achievement' worthy of my pride."

The preacher said with a smile.

"As for the pay......"

He paused for a moment before speaking.

"Let's use [the Starfire Furnace] instead. If your plan succeeds, the rest of the loot, including the legacy of the Steppenwolves, and the disposition of all the wizards and property on the tower, will be transferred to you and your companions, and I will not take a penny. What about this condition? ”

……

Richard listened intently.

After all, it is a legendary evil organization, and when he was waiting for the two to speak, he felt that something would definitely break out, but the result was unexpected, and it was closely related to himself.

The words "Magic Tower Fall Project" that came out of the preacher's mouth surprised him just by hearing the name.

Both Mr. Evelyn and Mr. Hall believed that the Wizard Tower was in a dangerous situation, like a man standing on the edge of a cliff that could fall into the abyss at any moment. But even the two of them who were far-sighted probably didn't expect this crisis to come so quickly and so close to them.

And the "Hanged Man" - from his short words, very important information has been revealed.

For example, this person was once a member of the Magic Tower, and was probably a legendary wizard among the "Steppenwolf", but was later banished by the remaining wizard leaders for unknown reasons. Novich Rasputin joined later, in a sense to fill his vacancy.

This is a fact that Richard, and indeed most of the current inhabitants of the Magic Tower, are not known anywhere, and are only confined to the hidden history of the upper echelons of the Wizarding Tower.

In addition, since the mention of "awakening" means that he was once in a deep sleep, if it is due to the heavy blow, then continue to speculate, it is likely that the other members of the "Steppenwolf" can hurt him. Extrapolating from time, Marion Green, Rorel Garcia, and Longman Hall, these three were among them at the time. Mr. Evelyn, on the other hand, is relatively young, and I don't know if he also played an important role.

Since the purpose of the upside-down hanged man is to make the magic tower "fall", could this be out of revenge for being driven away and injured?

What he didn't expect was that the culprit who secretly planned the attack on the magic tower and cast a curse on Queen Mary would appear in front of him so frankly. Fortunately, judging by the preacher's reaction, it is not clear that he is the "Raspuchin" mentioned by the Hanged Man. Otherwise, it will inevitably be targeted by the other party who stimulates curiosity and will cause trouble......

- But what is [Spark Furnace]?

Richard quickly remembered the huge blast furnace he had seen while attending a fireside meeting. The thick steel and magic array could not isolate the hot heat coming from inside, as if there was a living species living in it, and the hot temperature contained incredible energy.

That's the power that can support the flight energy of the entire wizard tower, and in terms of magic power alone, it is even higher than that of a legendary wizard......

Richard suddenly realized that the power furnace of the magic tower was likely to hold this secret that was even greater than he had imagined.

First of all, the establishment of the magic tower is inseparable from the existence of the power furnace. This suggests that it has been around for a long time, and that its power has probably not disappeared for thousands of years since the tower was built. The form of operation of its energy is worth studying;

Secondly, it allows the tower to fly high in the air and resist turbulence and storms at the same time, indicating that the energy contained in the dew is at least equivalent to the magic of multiple legendary wizards. This in itself is not something that ordinary objects can do.

And what proves this is the statement of the "preacher" who was an apostle just now, and—

"No need."

The hangman's tone became serious.

"You don't need your help in this matter, Lord Preacher. I am confident that I will be able to complete my plan. ”

Richard could hear that although the tone of the other party was still respectful, the attitude hidden inside was completely different from before. It seems that this is where the hanged man cannot give in.

As mentioned before, the reverse cross does not have a very tight organizational relationship, and perhaps because of this, the hanged man can behave so strongly.

If the hanged man, who had been a member of the Magic Tower, was a former wizard leader of the same rank as Rasputin as he had guessed, he did show the capital of such an attitude.

Sure enough, instead of getting angry, the preacher laughed again.

"Don't be so nervous, Mr. Hanged Man, this is a private deal that doesn't involve the goals of the organization, so let's do as you say. You're the one who came up with the plan, and rightfully in the driver's seat, and you're ready to get me out of the way. ”

"If you don't want to, no one can persecute you; In fact, who can let a legendary wizard do what they don't want to? I think your companion must have the same opinion as I do. ”

The preacher's companion seems to mean Richard. And judging by the pattern that appears on the back of the chair, his code name should be the "Wheel of Fortune" in the tarot.

"Thank you for your understanding."

The upside-down hanged man bowed slightly.

"Let's change the subject, Mr. Hangman, how are my students doing with you?"

The silhouette of the preacher seems to have changed into a leisurely posture on the chair with Erlang's legs crossed.

"He ......"

The hanged man's tone was slightly hesitant, as if he was hesitating about how to answer.

"He's very good. One of the best young people I've ever met. Be your student. ”

"False praise, Mr. Hangman. Don't mention it in front of him, I'm afraid he'll be too proud. ”

The preacher laughed.

"But in that case, you should think he's easy to use, right?"

"Yes. That ability of his...... Is that the power of some ancient goddess? It fits perfectly with what I'm good at. The Hanged Man was not shy about appreciating this, "The ability to manipulate auxin and emotional secretions in living organisms is really remarkable." I believe that one day, if your students can use it to the fullest, they may even be able to influence the 'natural disaster'. ”

"Haha, it's not that exaggerated."

The preacher waved his hand.

"But since you think my students are useful, I'm relieved. Our cooperation will continue, Mr. Hangman, and remember that my support for you will not change. ”

"I can't thank you enough."

The old man bowed upward.

"So, Lord Preacher, do you want me to convey the words on your behalf?"

"I don't have anything to say, just let him be trained a little more with Mr. Hangman."

At the end of the day, it seems that the preacher has already planned to leave. He turned his gaze to himself—just a glance over his body, and didn't seem to take Richard to heart.

"If you need to, you can let me know through my students."

"I will."

"Mr. Hanged Man, I will watch it in secret, and the repertoire you promised must let me see more interesting developments."

As he spoke, the figure of the apostle disappeared from the golden seat. Like foam on the water, it is gently blown away without leaving a trace.

As a result, in the staircase sequence on the top floor, only Richard and the hanging man opposite were left for a while, and the two faced each other across the deep and dark void.

The old man behind the virtual silhouette was looking at him with a meaningful gaze.

Richard didn't know what to say, just tried to stay calm.

It was a long time before he spoke.

- "Mr. Rasputchin, if the preacher had known your true colors, his expression would have been amused. ”
