Chapter 130: Dangerous News
...... That's right.
Only then did Richard realize that the other party was now the chief student, so there was really no need for Sykody Miller, who was only temporarily taking over this position and not really his student, to continue to serve.
After seeing the teacher's slight bow, Villette Edward smiled, realizing that she had been recognized, and then she continued.
"Teacher, don't worry, I'll let her know later. Miss Miller and I are very good friends and have always had a close relationship. I am confident that this connection will not be affected. ”
Then came the usual debriefing time, just as Poety and Mr. Peter had done.
Truth be told, Richard didn't know how the other wizarding leaders got along with their students. It seems that he should be more intimate, but how?
Richard intended to wait. He tried to find the answer in the other person.
He believed that the girl would take the initiative to seek this from himself, and her character was destined to be so.
Sure enough, after the routine debriefing, Richard did not respond to the other party's request for today's schedule. If it had been Sycodi, it would have been time to turn away, but Violet stood still, waiting for a moment before speaking again.
"Teacher, I have a question about the last invasion."
The girl's expression was more serious than before, and it was clear that this was the real goal of her trip.
"Look."
Willett handed herself a newspaper. Richard glanced down at the newspaper masthead of an owl about to flutter its wings in the twilight.
"This is the daily newspaper Owl, published in the Albion region, dedicated to wizards and the extraordinary. The release date is a week ago. ”
On the front page, it reads "Golden Dawn Supreme Mentor Defeated at the Hands of the Wizard of the Black Tower", which is the title; At the bottom, the names of Novich Raspuchin and McCain Mathers are prominently listed.
As for the style of the whole report, except for the correct title, the rest is to add fuel and vinegar, and describe the battle that should have ended briefly to the ground.
In the article, the conflict that broke out between the two legendary wizards was no less than the high-level war between the Ancient Serpent Order and the Holy Episcopal Church that took place on the border of the Ten Thousand Empires ten years ago, and the entire magic tower almost fell because of it, and the mountain range within a radius of hundreds of miles was almost razed to the ground.
If you look at it from the point of view of the writer of this report, McQueen Mathers's status is well known, so this person blows without psychological pressure, and the way of writing is traceable. Although this person should have not witnessed the scene at all, he still writes in a good way, and it can be seen that there are references to past cases;
But it's not so easy to describe the magic used by the well-known "Novich Raspuchin", who is barely known to outsiders and knows even if he knows his name.
However, because a lot of space was spent on McQueen Mathers's exploits earlier in the report, then in terms of results, the power of Richard, who was able to defeat him, would naturally be infinitely raised, and what kind of ancient magic such as "soul annihilation" and "doomsday storm" would come out of his mouth - of course, this is only the writer's speculation in name.
Richard was stunned for a moment.
What was written on it was a shame even for the touted ones, who were now barely half a legend, while the newspapers had compared Rasputin and those who had been crowned for a long time with the saints, and even compared him to the pope as a great threat to his rising prominence within the Holy League.
To be honest, it was only after reading this newspaper that Richard realized that the "preacher" had such an amazing reputation......
Because his vision has always been limited to this tower, and the previous Rasputin was the type who was single-minded in pursuing his goals and had no distractions, he did not realize this in time.
In this way, isn't he stepping on the other party's upper position? Regardless of the mood of McQueen Mathers, who has become a victim, he will receive a lot of attention from the outside world.
...... Why is that?
Is it someone who revealed this and secretly preached for himself?
If it was just a big reputation, Richard didn't care, he didn't have the inclination to be mysterious, like the original Rasputchin.
But here's the problem......
"Coming to dominate the Magic Tower? The next goal is to attack Yorkshire on the eastern side of the Rhine Kingdom? Ambitions to get involved in secular regimes? Attempting to emulate the Anglican Church and the Council of the Magi to establish an earthly kingdom? The greatest enemy that the Holy See is about to face? What the hell are these? ”
Further down, Richard's mood gradually changed from shock to horror.
Are you going to roast yourself on the fire?
The guy who wrote the newspaper was obviously uneasy, he lived on an island across the sea from the main continent, and Greenwich had always been at odds with the three Holy Alliances - because the kingdom of Albion was prevalent in the occult, all sorts of wizarding schools and associations of the extraordinary, and there were a large number of cults that believed in all kinds of wandering gods, demigods, subgods, and even evil gods and evil gods, so the latter, who had a unified faith, disparaged the former as "witchcraft liars", while the former regarded the latter as "brainless fanatics"— The Daily Owl could naturally ignore the attitude of the Holy See.
But I'm different.
As a powerful force that has never belonged to the Holy Alliance, it is a taboo thing for the Magic Tower to always circulate in the sky above the territory, not only the kings and nobles, but also the radicals in the Holy See forces do not regard them as thorns in the flesh.
Now, attempts to push Novich Rasputin to the forefront of the storm are certainly reminiscent of certain sensitive issues, and the effect is tantamount to reviving the "magic tower threat theory" that was once popular in the upper echelons of the Rhine Kingdom......
"Teacher, is the dark wizard who fought you the last to be this person?"
"Yes. McQueen Mathers himself was an apostle of the 'Reverse Cross', and he was the mastermind behind the last fireside attack. ”
Richard came back to his senses and replied casually.
“...... I see. The witch nodded, "It seems that he is indeed planning to make an enemy of the magic tower, or is there something coveted in this tower?" Moreover, I know that there is an exchange between that Dark Wizard's subordinate and Duncan Davy, which means that he has a connection with Mr. Green, right? ”
"Yes."
"It seems that this wizarding tower has become more than just 'tense', and has even become no longer safe, not sheltering the people on the tower, but dragging people into dangerous whirlpools and quagmires. When will this end......
The girl muttered to herself.
"Until the end of the struggle and one of us wins."
Violet was silent. Of course, she knew who the teacher meant by "we".
“...... Teacher, what are your plans for the next step? ”
She raised her green eyes and looked at her teacher, with a hint of hope in her eyes.
"Preparing for victory, of course."
And Richard naturally did not disappoint her.
