Chapter 138: Decision
Richard could not have imagined how heavily the witch had to come to make this decision.
He believes that his relationship with Villerett is far from reaching the point where she is willing to do it for herself: although the two are teachers and students, they have not met a few times in total, and from the perspective of modern people, they can only be said to be barely acquaintances.
Moreover, Richard did not fulfill his responsibilities as a teacher, never instructed and helped her, but only instructed her to act as an assistant to help him with his experiments, and ordered her to deal with troublesome matters.
Although he had saved her life from the Dark Wizard, he had another purpose - and before that, Villelet had reached out to herself, who was a complete stranger at the time, and Richard himself thought it was a matter of evening
But now, Willett gave him a great gift, a treasure that no ambitious extraordinaire could refuse—a heavy affection that he had to accept, whatever the outcome.
……
The hall was quiet, so quiet that you could hear a pin dropping. The only thing left was the sound of the wizard leader's fingers tapping on the armrests of the seats, echoing in the huge space of marble floors and relief walls tens of meters high, indicating that Rasputin was thinking.
The "former Demon King", who has shrunk down into a doll, is under the eaves and has to bow his head, while Wellett stands with her head slightly bowed, waiting for her teacher's answer, an answer that will probably decide her fate.
The legendary wizard who has this right has never spoken.
The masked man rested his chin with one hand on the armrest, and looked down on the witch and her companion from the throne, his pupils showing a calm gaze.
He looked like he was considering a difficult choice; But judging from the attitude he showed, it seemed to be very relaxed.
No one could see Raspuchin's expression, so, naturally, no one knew what was in his heart.
What kind of person is Novich Raspuchin? A ruthless leader? A reclusive wizard? Or...... A teacher who is indifferent on the outside, but has a lot of humanity on the inside?
The witch's opinion of him was probably different from that of almost everyone on the tower, but at this time, she was still feeling uneasy.
- She doesn't know if the teacher will "deal with" herself like the Demon King Solo said.
If you abandon emotions and think from a rational point of view; If Willlight chooses the side with a better chance between "will" and "won't", the witch herself will feel that "yes" is more likely.
It sounded like some kind of risky gamble: after Willett gambled that she had offered the contract, and that she had offered a huge treasure closely related to the "power of the gods", Rasputin would not abandon her.
But the truth is clearly far from the truth.
The purpose of gambling is to "make a big deal out of the small", and although the probability of success is extremely small, it exists in theory. Because of this, countless people who are carried away by greed and lose their minds are addicted to it.
But that was clearly not the case with Willett's decision.
In fact, she gave up the most precious thing from the beginning; Moreover, the witch will not benefit from this, but will incur the danger of murder for herself.
There is only one reason why witches do this:
She only does what she wants to do, and always has been.
This is of course a stupid and unreasonable move in the eyes of others, just like the Demon King Solo cursed; But this is due to the character of Willett Edward.
......
After a long time, the witch felt that the smile on her face was about to become stiff and difficult to maintain, and the villain in her hand had a dejected expression, muttering, "If you want to kill or chop as you like, you should give a letter quickly."
She thought that the teacher hesitated for so long, probably thinking about how to "deal with the aftermath".
The only consolation is that Raspuchin has at least thought about it for a long time. This shows that he is closer to his own imagination, and is not as ruthless as others say
....... If this thought can really be considered comforting.
At this time, the man sitting on the throne slowly spoke.
"Good. That's good news for you, Edward. ”
“......?”
The witch looked up in confusion.
What does that mean?
"After you signed the contract, can you use the power of the 'Demon King' rank now?"
"Uh...... No, because I'm having trouble casting spells right now. ”
In fact, about this matter, Solo mentioned it to her before going to sleep last night, saying that there is a way to make her body recover, but she just needs to use the "knowledge" of the previous era. All she needs to do is find some kind of inheritor of god-generation magic (if it exists) and then be able to truly inherit the legacy that once belonged to a powerful god.
Of course, Villelet didn't care too much. In her opinion, the secret of the ancient sun god of the previous era was already something that belonged to the teacher, and it didn't matter what she would do.
"Now that the spirit sealed in the Starfire Furnace has been summoned by you, it doesn't take much effort."
The wizard leader finally stood up from his seat.
"I'll prepare a corresponding ritual for you—"
"For me?"
The blonde girl's expression looked even more confused.
"Of course. The 'séance ritual' you experienced in the Edward family failed, didn't it? But it's not your fault, it's that they're too incompetent. ”
When talking about others, the wizarding leader's tone is as arrogant as ever. It's only when it comes to his own students that he softens a bit.
"Willett, you undoubtedly have this gift, far better than any psychic wizard. All you need is a little bit of 'excitement'. ”
"After the ritual, even if you still can't connect to the magic net, you can still have the power to manipulate the contract spirit. Of course, it may still be limited by the magic affinity constitution..... But that's no longer a big deal. ”
"My ceremony for you will begin in a day's time. You can come here again according to the appointed time. ”
"I—I know ......"
Villerett still looked confused. She subconsciously glanced at the villain in her hand and found that the other party was as confused as herself.
However, now that she had been told, she nodded her head in agreement.
When she looked up again, the witch seemed to remember something, and pleaded with Richard.
"Teacher, if you want, you can just call me 'Willy'."
Willett's expression was serious, as if in her eyes, compared to this sentence, the secret she had said before that was enough to alarm the entire wizarding world was nothing.
The man standing on the edge of the throne looked down at her, and after a moment bowed slightly, and replied briefly:
"Okay."
