Chapter 43: The Notorious Leaders
Whether it is a knight or a wizard, the essence of the various incredible powers they possess is to mobilize magic elements through the spirit world to achieve their purposes, in other words, "magic power", but there are differences in the way they use it.
If so, if he can become a knight of a higher rank, will he be able to provide himself with enough magic power? For example, can you make your body bear more "real name"?
In addition, Richard did not need to delve into magic and memory spells like other wizards, because his knowledge and authority had reached its peak, and all he lacked was the magic power in his body. Even if he can't progress for the rest of his life, as long as he can master the full power of Rasputin, he will be able to sit back and relax as a true "legendary wizard", not to mention that he has the power to take the real name of others.
"It's just speculation at the moment. I need to verify ...... Anyway, I really don't have much future in my path as a wizard, and I won't lose if I try. The Awakening Elixir is already in hand, but if you want to officially change from a wizard to a knight, you will need a special training method. ”
He no longer hesitated, and hid the Awakening Elixir again.
"First of all, what I want to do is to grasp the knowledge left behind by Rasputin, find a way to make the magic power lodged in the Demon Dao Book, and find a way to complete Mr. Evelyn's commission, and at the same time, try to transfer the power of the legendary rank to a terminal such as the Demon Dao Book, which can theoretically replace the human body;"
"Second, find a way to get your hands on the knight's training method, and work hard to become a true knight after taking the awakening potion. This is not difficult in my current status, the only problem is how not to arouse suspicion. ”
After confirming his next two goals, Richard felt a little relaxed.
He was able to find his purpose thanks to Mr. Evelyn. Although the other party does not know this...... In just one conversation, Richard has benefited a lot.
He realized that communicating with other wizarding leaders was a risky thing, but on the other hand, there might be information that was very important to him right now, and he couldn't afford to miss this precious opportunity.
Thinking about it this way, Richard felt as if he was no longer so afraid. Without a real threat to his life, he felt he could have been more proactive. In order to prevent this "tiger skin" on his body from being exposed, he has to master more genuine and reliable strength. Therefore, he needs to be calm, but more importantly, he needs courage at critical moments, both of which are indispensable.
"Taking a little risk is within the limits of tolerance......"
Standing on the window overlooking the banquet, Richard saw the figure of the blond young man, who was standing with the group of foreign guests on the magic tower, accompanied by several retinues and students, apparently actively contacting the representatives of the nobility of the Rhine Kingdom. The other guests around have kept a certain distance from this side, and the distance between the near and far relatives is clearly layered, and it looks like a big circle surrounds a small circle.
He had made up his mind.
Richard straightened his robes and mask to make sure that first of all, there were no mistakes in his appearance; He could not have any weakness of heart, so he began to repeat in his heart, "I am Raspuchin, I am Raspuchin"; He gripped the snake staff and strode out of the room.
*
Illiktra Evelyn looked at the scene of her student negotiating with the other party with a smile on her face, and the pot-bellied leader of the crowd was already sweating profusely, her face was pale, and the fat on her face was trembling, while she kept wiping the sweat from her forehead with a handkerchief.
Evelyn, of course, knew why the other party had such an expression. In his life, he has seen countless people with the same expression.
Even for the powerful nobles, the threat posed by a wizard leader was staggering, and even if he did nothing but stand there quietly, they would be terrified from the bottom of their hearts and dare not look at them.
In the face of a powerful wizard or knight, even if they are not strong enough, their power and wealth allow them to hire loyal guards and gather powerful armed forces, so as to gain a sense of superiority on both a physical and psychological level. But none of this means anything to the legendary wizard.
In a sense, the nobles feared the transcendents at the pinnacle even more than they feared the king. Although the king has the highest status and the greatest power among mortals, and can make the blood of the living people in a fit of anger, the so-called "royal family" is still essentially a member of the nobility, but with the most noble blood...... And this kind of "nobility" is by no means eternal.
Even the nobles, no matter how loyal and close to the king, may not be without the idea that "we can replace them". Kings have all sorts of concerns, and even if their subordinates make mistakes, they may not act, or even punish; But they knew that if someone like Evelyn saw someone who was unhappy, a single thought would break them to pieces.
However, although Evelyn knows this, it does not mean that he will understand.
"What a coward...... Is the new nobility of the Rhine Kingdom such a bunch? ”
He felt a little dissatisfied.
There may be a lack of strength, but in terms of simple negotiations, we must not weaken our spirits.
Although most of the nobles on the continent are raccoon dogs, as an elite class educated since childhood, there is no shortage of excellent individuals among them. There are not a few who have the courage to negotiate with wizards without humility or arrogance, or who are powerful professionals themselves.
During her travels, Evelyn heard about the new nobility of the Rhine Kingdom. In fact, similar emerging forces and groups exist among the major powers on the continent. With the advent of the Age of Sail, some nations began to have colonies overseas, opening factories, organizing fleets, recruiting workers, and reaping huge profits from new sources of raw materials and new markets, and grabbing the vast wealth that the old aristocracy had been able to accumulate over several lifetimes.
In the case of the Rhine Kingdom, for example, these people have accumulated a force to be reckoned with in just a few decades, and they have considerable influence in the new army, which can compete with the power of the ancient nobles and even the royal family that have accumulated great power for hundreds of years.
However, the new nobles and their descendants are known for their enterprising and adventurous spirit, and the performance of the big fat man in front of him is so disappointing that Mr. Evelyn only wants to frown.
Could it be that this group of people has another purpose? For example, the guy in front of him is not really a representative, and the leader of the team is someone else? This can't be, I've already come forward, as long as they're not stupid, they won't be arrogant enough to play with this in front of a wizarding leader...... By the way, I heard that the person who contacted the Rhine Kingdom was Longman Hall, what did he want to do? It may have something to do with him, but if so, you can't be too careless.
Mr. Evelyn was thinking when suddenly his ears moved, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Oh, you see, my best friend is here."
After he broke the silence and spoke, the wizards and nobles on the tower, no matter which side they were, did not dare to continue to speak, and could only turn their gaze not far away.
A man in a silver-white mask is walking this way.
It is impossible for everyone present to be unaware of his identity, and even if there are exceptions, hearing Evelyn refer to him as a "friend" should understand the meaning behind it.
At the side of Mr. Evelyn, a young man with a delicate face and a stern expression, who was now silent and ready to salute; The fat man on the other side became even paler, the fat shook more violently, and he had to let the others behind him support him, so that his knees did not fall weakly.
"What, are you interested in this group of guests from the earth?"
When Rasputin came to them, Mr. Evelyn chuckled.
"That's rare."
The other replied in a low voice, "I'm more interested in why several of my friends haven't shown up yet. ”
"I have very few friends, most of whom I only see a few times a year, or never see the next one in my life. I've always missed them. ”
"I see."
The smile on Mr. Evelyn's lips did not change, but his heart was slightly awe-inspiring.
Is the implicit meaning of Raspuchin's words really reminding himself? Of course, this group of nobles is not a great figure, but their appearance on the magic tower in a grand manner itself represents the release of some kind of signal, whether it is from inside the magic tower or from the mainland......
……
Unbeknownst to Richard, Mr. Evelyn had done so much for him, and he had worked hard to learn the way of speaking from his week's experience with Rasputin, while keeping his eyes on the visitors from the ground.
Although he was not as experienced as Evelyn, even so, Richard could still see that there was no one worth caring about in front of him. In addition to the nobles who had cloudy eyes and didn't even dare to look at him, there were only the guards, but even these people who seemed to be loyal and strong didn't dare to look at themselves. This is not to say that they are cowardly, but in the face of what "legend" represents, it is too heavy for this group of people.
Ever since Richard came to the Mayan world, he had been with the people on the Magic Tower, and it was only at this time that he saw the performance of the representatives of the Rhine Kingdom that he realized that the prestige of the wizarding leader had not diminished with the change of region, and perhaps even exceeded it.
