When Poetic pushed the door on the top floor of the school station, the scene in front of her was as expected, her teacher, Longman Hall, was holding a wine glass, standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and looking down at the scene below, not knowing whether she was contemplative or in a daze.

He heard the door be pushed open, and turned around, the wine in his glass staining the middle-aged wizard's beard red.

"You're here."

There was no trace of surprise in Longman Hall's tone, he was very calm, probably prepared for the two visitors who would arrive today.

"How, are you going to say goodbye to me?"

The witch bowed slightly.

"It seems that this is all in your expectation, teacher."

"If you want to say, 'Anticipate the world', there is no one on this tower now who can catch up with you. Miss Miller, congratulations. ”

Mr. Hall stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows and raised his glass to Scotty Miller as a salute.

It's not a polite gesture, but for a legendary wizard, it's the equivalent of respect—a recognition based on an equal relationship.

At the very least, when the silver-haired witch was just a high wizard and only his student, no matter how hard she worked, showed her ability and loyalty, she couldn't have this kind of treatment.

Silky did not respond.

It seems that Longman Hall does know about her. Including where she came from, her pedigree, and what she could achieve in the future.

It was a matter of course, since the stargazer had been with him, and Mr. Hall knew the ins and outs of this series of events.

"Well, Miss Miller, I won't say much nonsense. Before leaving, I want to ask you to do one thing. ”

Longman Hall's daily life can be described as extravagant and wasteful, and the things he uses are completely on par with the corrupt aristocrats of the upper class of the Three Kingdoms - including all kinds of cumbersome hospitality etiquette, and the habit of drinking red wine by the window

Poetic had been speculating maliciously about this, perhaps because her teacher had been a destitute apprentice at the bottom of the Tower.

Because I have had a hard time in the past, once I gain power, I hope that the world and people around me will give back to me doubly.

In any case, Longman Hall was a powerful wizard who could not be corrupted by the temptations of the pleasures of aristocratic life, and he still possessed sober willpower and a resolute approach to things, which was not at all the same as the sluggish and incompetent aristocratic bureaucrats of the secular realm—for example, when it came to making demands.

"What's the matter? If there is still any work between us, I am willing to do it for you, or find another right-hand man. ”

The girl's tone was quite calm, but the meaning of rejection in her words was obvious.

Poeti never felt like she owed anything to the other person.

In the past few years, the relationship between teachers and students has not been friendly. Although Longman Hall's name did protect him, the other party only paid the name of a "chief student", and then unceremoniously used the witch as a tool; And she also worked for the other party without touching her own bottom line, doing her best, and never said anything.

Moreover, the two actually had a tacit understanding at the very beginning, and there was a relationship between teachers and students who used each other, and there was no meaning that anyone owed anyone.

"No, Miss Miller, you're mistaken, and it's not just me that I want to ask for."

The wizard leader took another sip of red wine, then placed the glass on the table, and the falcon-like pupils looked at her, radiating a sharp light.

"Now you already know what Rasputin Nowikh did to you, right?"

…………

The atmosphere in the room dropped to freezing in an instant.

The silver-haired girl couldn't help but squint her eyes.

“…… Teacher, you are curious, when did you start to know about me? ”

"I'm an intermediary."

Longman Hall shrugged his shoulders, his expression not looking very serious, even smiling—but the words he uttered in his understatement were cruel, especially to the young girl in front of him.

"I am the intermediary between the Rasputchins and the Shipton family, and between Raspuchin and the Vice-President of the Royal Astronomical Society. You're my student, and you know about my connections with the wizards on the Greenwich side, as the old man who has lived on the tower for a few years knows it............ In short, Steppenwolf members will come to me for help once they have a Fog Capital Association that they want to trade. Overall, I had a good time working with that person and has continued the relationship to this day. ”

Seeing the silver-haired girl's increasingly gloomy face, Longman Hall did not try to continue to provoke her, but quickly got to the point.

"Yes, I did clean up all the people in your family, and I know that you have always held a grudge against me for it. But, what about now? Do you still blame me after you know the whole truth? ”

With a relaxed attitude, he sat down at the back of the table.

"In that situation, I had to. And, most importantly, what I have done has done you no harm; It's not me who you should blame—"

"No more."

Sycody interrupted him.

"In any case, they do have the grace to nurture me, and your actions are indiscriminately killing innocents."

“………… Innocent? ”

Longman Hall laughed for a moment.

"It seems that you are a little out of words, Miss Miller, we are wizards, not knights who abide by the code of morality."

"Also, those people were never innocent, just a bunch of opportunistic stupid liars. Sure, they may not be guilty of death, but it's not a wizard's job to give someone a notarized trial, is it? They're in my way, and the right thing to do is to kick them out of the way. ”

Before she could reply, another man's voice came from behind the girl.

"From the point of view of the group, they naturally did nothing wrong: the orders of the Shiptons were not something they could resist; But Mr. Hall was not wrong, he was just helping his colleagues and closing a deal. Holy Maiden, you need to admit that you were once a member of your family...... It's a bit unlucky, but this misfortune is inevitable, and it's the so-called 'guilty of it'. By the way, have you ever heard of that term? I heard that it was a ...... from the other side of the cliff."

"You're here, Mr. Luo Xue."

For the third person, both the teacher and the student were silent.

"Yes, my friend!"

The stargazer who came in through the door laughed, stepped forward and gave the middle-aged wizard a warm hug.

Longman Hall frowned slightly, not looking used to this way of greeting, but he didn't say anything, and the man's gaze still fell on his student, to be exact, the former student.

"Miss Miller, what I want to confirm with you is that there is someone who has really hurt you in the process and has an enmity with you."

"Mr. Raspuchin............"

"Not bad. He's taking advantage of the news, he's taking advantage of you. In other words, it is Rasputin Novich who really brings misfortune and bad luck to your life; ”

- "And you, know that. ”
