Chapter 151: The Face Under the Mask

Like a clay statue, Villerett stayed there.

And the little red man who had been floating beside her showed an interested expression at this time.

"Hey, you know this guy's face under the mask? I thought he was going to keep pretending to be a ghost. What does he look like? It stands to reason that he must be a bad old man, but judging by the way you are fascinated by him, you can't be a handsome guy, right? ”

The witch ignored him completely. The girl's appearance was like an animal being targeted by natural enemies, not only her facial expression, but also her whole body stiffened.

Seeing this obvious reaction from the other party, he knew he was right.

Richard couldn't help but sigh.

He knew it was his problem. After Willett passed him the magic key that contained the secret of the Starfire Furnace, he didn't even think about it, and rushed directly into that consciousness space.

After being reminded by Miss Real Name, he realized that in that situation, Richard's self-perception of himself would be projected into an image, in other words, his original self without a mask.

Of course, Richard didn't really care about his appearance leaking out. After all, he had passed the time when he would be afraid of being revealed.

As for why he looked so young, and the difference between his facial features and those of the people in the Holy Alliance, it was not difficult to explain.

After all, he is a legendary wizard, and there will always be all kinds of strange methods. It's normal to remodel your body and appearance, or to prolong your life through potions. Even if you are not a wizard in the field of life, it is not difficult to be a permanent youth.

In fact, according to the statistics of the Council of the Sages, excluding the case of being killed, the average lifespan of wizards who have reached this stage in history is three hundred years old.

Take Richard's own experience, which is not very rich, there are vivid examples of hanging people who can crawl out of a coffin after a hundred years of death in the eyes of people; and monsters like the Preacher who are able to transfer consciousness to his body and actively control it, meaning that he can replace his own body at will.

At this time, the demon king Solo was even clamoring on the side:

"Witch, don't be deceived by this guy's appearance, even if he becomes a young man on the outside, he is still a bad old man on the inside, and maybe there is an old man who stinks"

This guy's mouth is too poisonous, right?! The corners of Richard's mouth twitched, and he resisted the urge to slap the other party.

"Yes, I'm sorry, teacher! I didn't mean to see it! ”

Eventually, Violet recovered from her shock, and she took Solo's words as a deaf ear, apologizing to her teacher and bowing her head in panic.

"I do...... Accept any punishment you have. ”

Willet's reaction seemed to be bigger than she had imagined.

Richard thought about it and immediately understood.

She probably felt that she was wearing a mask with a camouflage effect, and that she never showed her true face, there must be some very important reason, and she broke the secret.

According to common sense, it is possible for you to suddenly turn your face and kill someone.

"Punishment? What do you think? ”

Richard had a mischievous thought in his heart, so he deliberately followed her words.

The girl's face grew pale. She was silent for a moment before she spoke softly.

"I, I think I'm still useful to the teacher, so please keep my body in shape. Other than that......"

As Violet spoke, Miss Real Name's eyes were falling from the side.

Although she looked expressionless, Richard felt a burst of heat on her face, and even a slight tingling sensation......

It seems that the inferiority complex of this girl has not been completely eliminated.

He shook his head slightly and said softly.

"Willy, I told you were underestimating yourself. Don't take it personally, my looks are not a secret to my students. You don't have to reveal it to anyone else. ”

"I know, I'm not going to tell anyone."

Violet nodded earnestly.

"The Demon King over there didn't see my face, did he?"

"Nope."

She replied immediately.

"The space of consciousness attached to the Tree of Faith is subordinate to the Covenant Keeper, and His Excellency Solo is completely under my control."

Solo reacted by snorting, but did not say anything against it.

……

And so, the matter came to an end.

Speaking of which, since Richard came to this world, this is the first time that people of this era know what they look like......

When you think about it, this should be a very big change; But in reality, it doesn't seem to have changed much.

"By the way, Willy, there's one more thing."

Richard said in a casual tone.

"I'll be on a spring hunt with you. Not in the capacity of Raspuchin, of course. ”

But judging by the witch's expression, you knew that she was once again in shock.

“...... Teacher, can you ask why? ”

"I have something to deal with. Just on the same road as you. Also, the opponent is a fog demon, right? This was brought up by the guy from Longman Hall, who probably had ulterior motives and caused unforeseen danger. And ......"

Richard emphasized.

"In this spring hunt, it is very likely that there are other forces hidden in the shadows. That's an opponent you can't possibly handle. ”

"I see."

Seeing her teacher say this, the witch naturally had to carefully record it.

"Hmph, that's interesting, it seems that the peaceful days of this tower won't last long."

"You're laughing, Lord Solo."

Richard replied with a smile.

"In all times, where is there a true place of peace? If I have to talk about it, I'm afraid it's only the legendary kingdom of God. ”

It is precisely because he can't find a place where he can feel at ease everywhere that he keeps chasing power and status like this.

"Kingdom of God ......"

Solo repeated the word, not knowing what came to mind, and there was a rare silence.

After the witch left, Richard knew that his adventure would soon start again.

In fact, it was a temporary decision to set off with Villeret, but he did not regret it.

Since the purpose of the other party is not clear for the time being, and the only "spy" cannot be contacted, then the only way to snatch the initiative is to his side.

Just like when trading with the Hanged Man's subordinate, the Dark Wizard, for the magic key that unlocks the Starfire Furnace, the exchange of oaths cannot be left to anyone else, but can only be done by yourself.

And it was impossible for him to go as a wizard leader, so Richard had planned to participate in the spring hunt in a different capacity from the beginning.

The problem was that he had never been involved in a hunting moment before, and the only people who could qualify for it were the elite of young wizards. As a new face, how do you blend in?

As Richard, trying to get someone into the team is just a matter of words, and the problem is how to avoid arousing suspicion.

Now that Villette knows what she looks like, this is the perfect place to take advantage of it

He will use this obedient student as a cover for his identity.
