Early the next morning, the witch arrived as promised.

Richard got up early in the morning. He had been busy preparing since last night, and once again forced Master Peter as the leader, so that he once again scavenged the materials in the entire Rasputin School warehouse, and finally managed to piece together a third set of magic materials that could maintain the highest standard of summoning rituals in a short period of time.

He saw that the chubby alchemist looked grief-stricken, and he was not even in the mood to do superficial work, and it seemed that he would not be able to squeeze out a drop of material next time.

…… Sometimes, Richard was glad he lived in such a wizarding world that didn't pay attention to fairness and democracy. The superior has unshakable authority, otherwise according to his current practice, if he manages a modern company or organization, the people below would have rebelled long ago.

……

"It's ......"

As soon as the blonde witch entered the hall, she saw a magic circle on the ground covered in flowing mystical mercury, and her azure pupils shone brightly.

"It's the Star of David!"

Richard, who was standing on the sidelines, nodded.

"On top of the magic tower, this is the highest standard magic array. Are you interested, Willie? ”

Since there is no such thing as a community organization that spans the whole world in the wizards' world, their way of imparting knowledge is still at the point of oral transmission between master and apprentice and closed communication within the school.

Because of this, each different wizarding group can collect different magical knowledge that belongs to the public domain - the so-called "public domain" refers to the magical techniques and knowledge that wizards in any field will learn and use, such as magic circles, such as communication magic.

For example, the highest-level magic array on the Black Tower is called the "Star of David", which is based on the ordinary six-pointed star array; In the vault of the Tower of Babel, the old rival of the Black Tower, the name of the top-level magic array is "King Solomon's Ring", which is based on the pentagram.

Both of these magic circles have a great reputation in the occult world, but the specific content is only circulated in the upper echelons of the two wizarding towers. Outsiders have only heard of the name, and they have not even had the opportunity to see it with their own eyes.

"Yes, teacher...... It's the first time I've seen it with my own eyes, and I've only seen it in books before. ”

Villelet answered the question as she approached Richard with a light step.

When the girl spoke, there was always a soft smile in her delicate eyebrows, and her whole face became vivid, so that Richard couldn't help but be stunned.

Compared with the previous days, although the witch's attitude was still respectful, it was a little less restrained, and there was a hint of intimacy in her tone.

And...... Richard shook his head.

"I'll teach you afterward."

He felt that he should be right, that Willett Edward's demeanor was completely different from what he had done before. And it's not just about losing their magic powers—witches are a little more alive now than they were when Willett was still highly regarded and noticed within the Grimm School.

Her skin is fairer than snow, and her face is even more ruddy, and she can't see the haze of the past.

Richard had seen Villeette a few times before, and she had always looked like she was frowning, as if something heavy was pressing on her.

Perhaps, this is a kind of "pressure" that everyone in the Magic Tower residents has. Only now, it is no longer visible from the witch, and the oppression that once made the witch breathless is gone.

"Thank you very much...... Is this for me? ”

"Yes."

"I'm sorry to bother, teacher."

She bowed, her long, fringed hair scattered across the brim of her black hood under the force of gravity.

"Don't take it personally. Be patient and wait for the ceremony to begin. ”

Anyway, the materials for making the magic array were not collected and purchased by me, I just used my mouth, and I didn't spend any effort at all. Richard thought to himself.

"Hmph, people in this era really don't have much knowledge."

The self-proclaimed demon king has a very remarkable appearance, holding his hands in front of his chest.

"It's just the 'Star of David', in the era of the Divine War, this is the basic magic array that every pious priest and even some believers will master."

"Regardless of the wandering gods who are only believed in by a few thousand or tens of thousands of people, and the unlucky ones who have been beaten to half-death and can't even maintain the tree of faith, if you pray to those powerful gods with great influence, if the magic array set up is below this level, they won't even bother to look at it."

"That's why it is said that the 'Star of David' is the foundation of the Church's sacrificial rituals. Look at you now, you are actually enshrined as a treasure, tsk......"

"Let's not talk about that, Lord Zoro."

The wizard leader seemed to use an honorific title—after all, he had been a demon king of a higher rank than the legendary, but there was a hint of sarcasm in his tone, and he interrupted him without politeness.

"You deceived my students when describing the contents of the contract, and there was an element of exaggeration in your words, right?"

“…… What are you talking about? ”

"Even if Willy really has the ability to inherit all the inheritance in the Spark Furnace, she will never have the opportunity to touch the 'divine power' in her lifetime."

Richard said categorically.

"The Starfire Furnace doesn't make people go to the altar. The power contained in it, the highest rank is the Demon King. ”

When Villelet heard this, she immediately turned her face sideways and looked at the villain beside her with a sharp gaze

"Why are you looking at me like that? Don't you know the contents of the contract very well? I'm not lying to you at all......"

Solo originally wanted to deny it, but in the face of the sharp eyes of the covenant keeper, he finally gave up his resistance and said as if he had given up on himself.

"Okay, okay, I'll admit it! I'm exaggerating a little, just a little bit! ”

Lord Solo, who stood on the witch's shoulder, spread two small fingers, revealing the gaps in them, and showed them that what he said was only a little different from the truth.

"It's just an artistic exaggeration, just like the artists and thinkers of the Renaissance did, you know? Moreover, the Demon King and the Sage were the rulers of the Black Iron Age, and what was the difference between the two in the era when the gods had not returned to the earth? ”

"Lord Solo, that's not what you said when you lured me into signing the contract before. You say I can inherit the ...... of the ancient sun god."

"This king never lies."

The villain said seriously.

"Don't get me wrong, Novich Raspuchin."

He turned his head again and said to the masked man.

"I'm not lying when I say that your student can inherit the old guy's entire legacy. Merely...... He had fallen completely, had been beaten to the ground before he died, and had less than one percent of his power left in his heyday, nothing more. ”

Richard was silent for a moment. He looked at Villerett beside him, and the blonde witch shook her head slightly at her teacher, so he didn't pursue it further.

"Let's get started."

After receiving the signal from Miss Real Name, he raised his hand, and the power of the legendary magic "Psychic Creation" began to sweep and shake the temple like a tsunami.
