Chapter 40: The Second Legend

…… Who's you?

Richard just watched the other man quietly, but did not mean to respond. He still understands the simple truth of "saying too much and making more mistakes".

The man who descended from the sky was dressed in a gown and had thick blonde hair that glistened in the falling skylight, apparently well-maintained on weekdays. Beneath the blonde hair is a marble sculptural face and a pair of azure eyes. The male is tall and fit, and is undoubtedly a rare beautiful man.

He has a cheerful smile on his face, and at first glance he is the kind of person who is very easy to get along with. However, since Rasputin is called "my friend", it means that the status of the two should be equal, and ordinary wizards do not have the courage to call a legendary wizard brothers. In other words, the other party is a member of Steppenwolf, one of the five leaders in the magic tower, just like himself.

No wonder the people at the banquet reacted this way, thinking that they knew each other's identities very well.

But Richard still had some doubts. Because he looks too young, no matter how you look at it, he will not be more than thirty years old......

Unlike this "freak" himself, there is no shortcut to becoming a legend, and every wizard who has reached the top of the ladder is a natural chosen person with talent, opportunity, and hard work. Even a genius beyond imagination takes time. Is there really a legendary wizard in this world who is less than thirty years old? Or is it artificially "young" due to some special force?

This is not uncommon in the Mayan world, with "immortality" and "eternal youth" rumors of secret technology, precious treasures and mysterious races, and news about them has been circulating in the shadows, causing large-scale commotion and chaos every time they appear in history. And Richard believes that none of this is groundless.

On the basis of technology that is ahead of its time, the fact that aging is delayed is not uncommon.

Speaking of which, I have been in the hibernation machine for thousands of years, and in a sense, I am also an old monster whose age has broken through the sky, right? Richard found the idea a bit of a bittersweet taste.

"Haha, you're still as cold as ever, my friend."

The young man didn't care about the masked man's silent indifference, and the smile on his face was still hearty. In his opinion, Rasputin Nowich should be such a person.

The other party's familiar tone made Richard more sure of his identity. I saw the blonde young man pull the window open and jump in from mid-air.

"Let's go over there and rest for a while, would you like to hear what I've seen on this trip?"

The other man patted him warmly on the shoulder and walked away from the window on his own. Richard did not object, he saw the blonde young man sitting on the sofa with his hands on the back of the chair, and his posture was so big that he could not see the majesty of a leader at all.

"Oh, this trip back from the 'Underground Sea' was really busy, and I accidentally got into a fight with one of the new leaders of the 'Tower of Babel', but because of the conflict that took place near the Emerald Jade, I was targeted by the people of the Pope's Hall on the way, and was beaten up by several cardinals, and then I heard the news that the 'Glen Train' was about to depart, so I hurried back. Of course, the most important thing at the moment is to deal with the 'fireside meeting' first......"

The blonde young man seemed to be a bit talkative, and he babbled a lot. Although he complained and had a relaxed smile on his face, he clearly didn't take the thrilling adventures of the journey to heart. This is due to personality and self-confidence in one's own strength.

"Underground sea"? "Tower of Babel"? "Glen Train"? "Papal Chamber" and "Cardinal"? Richard searched the above terms in Raspuchin's knowledge base, and when he realized the great meaning behind these names, he quickly became interested in what the young man said, but at this time, in order to maintain his personality, he did not take the initiative to speak......

Fortunately, the blonde young man didn't care, he didn't mean to hang people's appetites, because he thought he knew Raspuchin's character very well. For people like Raspuchin, the act of "selling off the guanzi" is as meaningless as "flattering the blind."

"Most things are boring, and I think you don't like to hear them. After all, the people in the Tower of Babel and the Pope's Hall are old rivals, and if they don't tear their faces and kill people, everyone won't care. If anything......" the blonde young man paused, "did you see that bird?" ”

Richard bowed slightly. In fact, he is very interested in the conflict between the blonde youth and other members of the forces, such as the Tower of Babel, which is one of the "Three Towers of the Stars" along with the Magic Tower, the largest wizarding tower on the continent, and is also the sacred place in the hearts of most wizards; As for the Papal Chamber, it is the supreme authority of the Holy Alliance, the largest Orthodox Church organization to date, and the cardinals, or cardinals, are the second most powerful in the Holy See after the Pope himself...... But it seems that the other party will not mention it again.

"That bird was an 'artificial demon' that I created with my new knowledge from some wilderness ruin. Don't look at the fact that this little guy is still very weak, because this is just a primitive breed. But just let me spend half a year...... No, it only takes four months to create a mature breed that is enough to independently destroy a city with a garrison of less than three thousand men. ”

The blonde youth said lightly.

…… I see.

The other party's attitude of not caring about human life at all is expected. For Richard, the answer he was most interested in was knowing the realm of magic that the blonde youth had mastered.

At times like this, Richard felt that Rasputchin, the former leader of wizards, was too much of a blind eye.

Rasputin has a database in his authority system, and that's where his current knowledge comes from. These include a wealth of magical knowledge and spell archetypes, as well as information on major forces and organizations, the current location of some powerful alchemy items and magic books, the location of dozens of ancient ruins, and so on...... A treasure for any wizard. But the biggest problem is that there is no knowledge about "people" in it, and there is no one in it.

So much so that although Richard knew about the Tower of Babel, the Papal Chamber, all kinds of sects and nine streams, and the secret organizations and secret societies that ordinary people could hardly imagine, he didn't know anything about the composition of the personnel inside, which would undoubtedly lead to a decrease in the value of the information held by Rasputin by half, and he didn't even know the name of the ruler of the Rhine Kingdom, where the Magic Tower was located today.

But the most excessive thing is that even Raspuchin's colleagues, the names and information of the rest of the Steppenwolf members, are not mentioned in his knowledge base! Not to mention other minor characters, such as members of the Novich school, which is evident in Rasputin's indifference to human relationships.

Richard's over-cautious attitude was partly due to the lack of information. He had to brace himself and be careful with anyone he met, for fear of being exposed.

And now, combined with what he had seen as an apprentice in the past, Richard finally knew the name of the blonde young man in front of him: his name was Illiktra Evelyn, a legendary wizard in the realm of life.

The reason is very simple, the other party mentions the term "artificial demon". Spells that can create artificial demons belong to the category of the "Life Domain" among the nine realms.

……

In the Mayan world, in addition to humans and other intelligent creatures that have developed civilization, the remaining ordinary animals and plants are similar to those on the earth in the past, with fierce beasts and special plants, but they are all to the extent that ordinary people can deal with them with tools.

However, the Mayan world is now a "fantasy world" covered by a magic web, and just as humans have developed multiple career paths using magic in the long process of evolution, primitive creatures with lower intelligence are also likely to mutate under this influence. Especially in the dark wilderness like the one in front of you, there are indeed more dangerous species lurking - they have no stellar sense, they cannot communicate, and only their murderous and bloodthirsty nature drives them to hunt other creatures. This is the "demon".

There are animal forms and plant types, but more of them are terrifying forms that cannot be identified at all...... In short, demons are terrifying beings that ordinary people cannot deal with, and the only people who can fight against them are humans with extraordinary powers. The most powerful of them is said to have a body as large as a mountain range and a power that can destroy the country. The demons are the greatest enemies of the intelligent races on the Mayan continent.

The above is a general statement, after meeting Miss Real Name, Richard has doubts about the origin and existence of the demon itself. Regardless, the people of this world have already studied this group of monsters in depth, and this group of researchers is a wizard from the realm of life.

Of course, wizards in the field of life are not only good at manipulating and studying animals, plants, and even demons, but also at refining potions and so on.

At the same time, Richard felt that he could not remain silent. He finally spoke for the first time.

"Did you come to me just to show off your new toy with me?"

Hearing Raspuchin's calm questioning, Mr. Evelyn smiled pleasantly.

"No, no, there is naturally something else to do when I come back this time, I originally planned to skip the fireside meeting."

…… Can it be warped?!

"Well, after all, there's my stupid student on the tower who worries, and I can't really leave it alone. I'm here to ask you for one thing. ”

Richard narrowed his eyes and did not answer.

As expected, trouble came to the door.
