Richard agreed to his terms.

The blonde youth bowed to him sincerely and thanked him, and left the roof with Alice.

"It seems that this Mr. Evelyn is really not human."

Richard was looking at her back, and the red-haired girl quietly appeared, wrapped her arms around his neck from behind, and put her lips to the man's ear affectionately, and whispered.

"He just found out about my presence. I've said before that his body is likely to have undergone some kind of modification, and I'm not mistaken, after all, his current appearance is a pure human in terms of physical appearance. ”

And his real race, if not the elves, must be closely related to the elves, and if not, he would not be eager to liberate the elves from the hands of humans.

"Nothing to do with me."

Richard said.

"It's just a deal."

"It could be dangerous, huh? After all, with his strength, he still has to pretend to be so mysterious, and he is only afraid that the news will leak out, if it is not a last resort, he probably won't ask his master for help. ”

"At the moment, it seems that the greatest danger lies in the control of a certain Cross Apostle of the Elves."

The black-robed wizard replied in a calm tone.

"And I've already killed one."

"That's right."

Joan couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"You don't have to pay attention to what others will be afraid of."

He let go of his arm and walked over to Richard's side, joining him in the distant view of the Magic Tower as dusk fell.

The spire of the tower floated with a pale golden light, and a breeze blew, and she gazed at the sunset sky, reached out and gathered the bright hair that had been blown away from her ears, and whispered:

"Then, before the master masters the entire magic tower, there is only one obstacle left. Should I congratulate you in advance? ”

"It's not just my wish."

"Of course, I'm looking forward to it too."

The female knight's gaze was filled with longing.

"I really want to drive this magic tower out into a fight. If such a behemoth appeared on the battlefield, it would definitely scare the people on the ground. As long as the relevant shock and impact protection measures are taken, it can be used as a weapon, and there are such a huge number of wizards on it, which is enough to make the magic tower an indestructible heavenly turret, invincible on any continental battlefield. However, there is still a weakness in the current magic tower, in order to prevent someone from invading by logging in - the so-called 'gang jumping', it is necessary to hire a group of guards who are good at physical combat, after all, the low-level wizards at the bottom do not have too good protection measures, and it is easy to be slaughtered in melee combat. That's a waste......"

Seeing that the more the other party said, the more outrageous it became, Richard couldn't help but sigh.

"Not going to do it. There are only a few flying towers with the highest specifications in the world. In the hearts of scholars and wizards, it is an important sacred place of inheritance, a treasure trove of knowledge, not a weapon used to kill. ”

The girl didn't say anything, but her brow suddenly drooped.

“…… Of course, if you really want to, I can entrust you with the task of organizing the defense line. ”

Miss Borgia seems to have a war maniac side in her, so she has always been eyeing the magic tower itself. Richard won't accept it because the other party is good-looking, but what she just said is not completely unreasonable.

Richard, of course, did not want the entire tower to be a mere fortress of war; However, if security measures are not in place, turning it into a simple library or a school for wizards to learn and grow can easily be destroyed in the flames of war.

Similar examples are not uncommon in history: a region with an ancient civilization and a prosperous history has fallen, the universities and libraries on the territory have been looted and burned by the army, and countless precious spiritual wealth of human civilization has been burned - that is the greatest loss.

There is no contradiction between the enhancement of force and the development of knowledge and scholarship, at least for the wizards of the Magic Tower, because knowledge is power.

In the few events Richard has experienced, he has discovered that the holes in the tower's internal defenses are very large, which is why Steppenwolf did not pay attention to them in the past. If you want to use this as a base for the future, you should really think about it.

However, if it is really necessary to hire elite knights to go to the tower, as Miss Borgia proposed, they are likely to have conflicts with the original wizarding group, and they need to be planned. The best way, of course, is for Miss Joan, a legendary knight, to lead the team......

This required her to stay on the tower for a long time.

As if sensing Richard's thoughts, Joan smiled mysteriously.

"I'm not going to turn the other cheek with the Holy See right now. But if my father had found out that I had become someone else's servant, he would have banished me without saying a word, and sent for me to be slaughtered...... When the time comes, I really need the master to accept me. Is that okay? ”

"Stupid question. Can I still be loyal to my knights and turned away? ”

"Huh."

Joan smiled, not further on the subject.

"So, the master's next target is that Longman Hall, right? Do you want to do it all at once today? I see that the people on the magic tower are waiting for you to decide the winner and loser, until the real leader is chosen. ”

"It's not that simple."

The black-robed wizard shook his head.

"The man was very stubborn, he had the same ambitions as me, so it was difficult to use the same persuasion as everyone else. I need to have a strong enough hand to make him succumb. ”

"It's a nuisance. Or I'm going to assassinate him. ”

"Are you sure?"

"If you don't care about the big movement I make, master......"

Richard was silent for a moment.

He's really thinking about it.

But after a while, he shook his head.

"I want to meet him first and talk about the future."

"As you wish."

The female knight smiled.

*

The opportunity to speak with Mr. Hall soon came, just three days later.

This time, it wasn't Richard who sent out the invitation, but the other two wizarding leaders who came to visit the house together.

As he said, ruling the Demon Tower is by no means just his business, and some people will be more anxious than him.

So, Rasputin Nowikh, Evelyn Iraktra, and Lorel Garcia, the three wizarding leaders, on this day, joined forces to go to the last remaining Steppenwolf member, the school headquarters of Longman Hall.

Instead of maintaining confidential and swift contact as in the past, they went on a fanfare and rarely put on a leader's pomp.

As a result, the news spread throughout the entire magic tower almost instantaneously.

All the people who survived the war focused their eyes on this place, knowing that everything would come to an end today.
