Chapter 35: The Silver Witch (Part I)
A girl in a blue dress with a long silver-white ponytail walks in front, showing the way for the masked man behind her. They walked down the cloister to the entrance to a spiral staircase.
Although the legendary wizard didn't even say a word to them, and left with no one in mind, the guests still didn't dare to talk casually, and the hall remained quiet with the sound of pins dropping. It wasn't until the wizarding leader's back completely disappeared from view that the atmosphere of the banquet returned to its heat.
"Who's that?"
"It's Lord Rasputin, a legendary wizard in the psychic realm."
"I heard that he is the most mysterious of the five leaders, but I didn't expect to have the honor to meet ...... today"
It was only at this time that Reid Joyce, who had been listening to the talk of the people around him, but could not speak, finally came back to his senses, and his stiff body was able to move.
"It's scary!"
The young man's eyes widened and he tried to take several deep breaths before his trembling hands and feet gradually calmed down.
"Just one look at me...... How the hell did he do it? It's really a big man at the same level as the old woman......"
Those who know him well know that the "old woman" in his mouth refers to the legendary wizard of the spelling school on the magic tower: Lorel Garcia. In the wizarding world with an extremely strict hierarchy, even if the relationship between teachers and students is close, this kind of title can also be called "great disrespect". But he and the rest of the Garcia school were accustomed to it.
On the one hand, it is because Reed Joyce is the chief student of the school, and he is also related to Rorel himself, and the relationship between the two is more like that of grandchildren; On the other hand, because of his own bold and reckless character, he is famous among the younger generation at the top. Perennial confrontation with the teacher, mocking peers, dueling with those who are enraged, and causing trouble everywhere, so that everyone thinks that this guy is normal to do something out of the ordinary, rather than Reed Joyce's style
Of course, what the real situation is is another matter. Reid Joyce thought that he was not very good-tempered, and that he was sometimes overly arrogant, but this was actually allowed and even secretly encouraged by his teachers. If you want to keep climbing up, you must eliminate those peers and even incompetent predecessors. He is self-aware and respectful in the face of invincible enemies or opponents who are evenly matched.
Not to mention the five members of the "Steppenwolf". He, like the other young wizards on the tower, was full of reverence and fear for the wizarding leaders. It is precisely because the chief students stand closest to the legendary wizard that they will feel the horror of this group of people standing at the top more clearly.
Reed stroked his chest, the fabric on his back soaked with sweat, his heart pounding. He was well aware that this was a sequelae of excessive fear. But even the time he was nearly eaten by a powerful demon in the wilderness during a hunting moment, Reed's heart never beat that fast.
"I'm almost scared to pee this time...... But Lord Rasputin probably won't bother with a small character like me. No, you have to ask the old woman for compensation for mental damage. ”
He grunted, smiled again, and walked towards the guests in the hall.

Poetic ascended the spiral staircase, her pace at the same pace as the footsteps behind her, as she looked behind her silently.
The mask obscured all the expression on the wizard's face, and the girl could only see the deep pupils.
Sykodi wanted to thank the other party, but she didn't know how to say it. As a subordinate, she knew that she only had to silently complete the tasks assigned to her.
Just now, Lord Rasputchin's actions were completely unexpected by her. Although he only picked one of them at random, it was indeed a relief for Shikoudi. She didn't know if the wizarding leader did it intentionally, or if it was casual. Judging from what we know about this adult in the past, it should be that the latter is more likely.
Shi Kodi and the other party have never met, and even most of the people on the top floor have never seen his appearance, so there is no connection. Why would Lord Rasputin help him?
Sycody's first thought was about Reed Joyce. Of course, although the guy is the chief, he is not qualified enough to contradict a leader, and her guess is that there is a contradiction between Lord Rasputin and Lord Lorel behind Reed. If that's the case, it's even better, the enemy of her enemy is her friend, and she may be able to complete the task assigned to her by the teacher very smoothly.
However, before this, Silky had not received any information related to this content. Even her teacher hadn't heard of it. Isn't that because of Reed, but because of himself?
Sycody doesn't think there's anything about herself that deserves a different look from a legendary wizard. Of course, her talent is very good, otherwise she would not have become the head of the school. But this obviously didn't make sense to Rasputin, who didn't even have the idea of taking in disciples. Unless......
The girl stretched out her lace-gloved palm and touched her cheek. Could it be because of my own face? As soon as this thought came to her mind, Shi Kodi suddenly felt laughed. Ordinary people may be infatuated with themselves because of their beautiful face that has inherited the "witch blood", but it is a legendary wizard who is at the forefront of the path of truth! How could she have such a strange thought?
Of course, it's not uncommon for legendary wizards to have all sorts of quirks, and there are indeed female-loving genres. But as far as Skodi knew, Lord Rasputin was anything but such a man.
However, after such a chaotic period of thinking, Shi Kodi's mood relaxed. When the two of them left the hall and reached the second floor of the spiral staircase, she plucked up her courage and spoke to Lord Rasputin behind her.
"Thank you for ......"
The wizard with the snake staff spoke at this moment, interrupting her.
"How much longer?"
"It's coming soon."
The courage in Sycodi's heart flew away at once, and she felt a little lost, but she didn't show it.
"The room is just in front of the hallway......"
"I mean, how long will it take for the others to arrive? Let's say your teacher. ”
Rasputin's voice was deep.
Sycodi's expression stiffened. How could she possibly know the whereabouts of the wizarding leaders. Even if she is her teacher, she will not explain everything to her students. But was this reaction of Lord Rasputin because of dissatisfaction? She couldn't help but start feeling uneasy.
