Chapter 30: Travel

"Real name, shall we get out of here?"

Richard glanced at the long, straight-haired black girl beside him. The other party didn't answer anything, just nodded silently.

"By the way, can people see you?"

He hesitated. If it were an ordinary spirit, wizards could see it as long as they turned on their vision. It is undoubtedly a risky thing to let your real name as a "demon god" follow you. If there were other people who knew about the existence of the Demon God, especially those who were powerful and ambitious, they would inevitably cause trouble for Richard. And even if no one knows, Miss Real Name's appearance is unusual at a glance, and it will definitely be eye-catching.

But Richard wasn't sure. Of course, he himself could clearly see her appearance and figure, but with his level of spiritual vision at this time, he could vaguely see that the real name was surrounded by some kind of barrier, and even with his keen perception of magic elements that had reached the legendary level, it was insurmountable. Could this be some kind of "constant spell"? Or is it "firewall" in old-age terms? Richard didn't dare to make rash judgments, which is why he had this problem.

"Invisible."

The other party replied briefly.

"People or AI who don't have the right permissions can't get in touch with me."

"I see."

Richard no longer doubted.

"Let's go, let's get out of here together."

He stepped down from his throne and subconsciously reached out to Miss Real Name, who was standing on the steps. It wasn't until Richard made this gesture that he realized that the other party was not really a young girl with the same appearance, and he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. But the girl didn't let the embarrassment last long, she took the initiative to stretch out her palm, and the gesture lightly covered Richard's palm.

Although the palms of the two could not really touch, there was a distance of a world between the hand of a young man from the real world and the hand of a girl from the virtual world. But no matter who they were, their demeanor at this moment seemed very serious, and they carefully made their palms fit each other, as if they were really holding each other's hands at a certain moment.

"Real name, do you know what the ritual of shaking hands between humans symbolizes?"

Richard smiled.

"Hmm."

The dark-haired girl walked down the steps and came to him. She looked up at Richard's face and whispered.

- "The contract is established. ”

*

Peter Campbell stood motionless outside the door until the bronze door was opened again, and the figure in the silver-white mask stepped out of the darkness.

"Your Excellency."

"Let's go."

The old wizard nodded, and said no more. The two walked side by side on the mirrored promenade.

Compared with the apprentice who was scared when he saw the mirror and didn't dare to look at it more when he first came, Richard's mentality at this time was naturally completely different. He observed his surroundings with a relaxed attitude, even looking at the interior of the temple with an appreciative eye for art. From today on, every grass and tree in this building belongs to him. The previous confusion and incomprehension have all vanished: why does a fantasy civilization that looks like a medieval period have the same products of industrial civilization as modern times? The reasons for this are self-explanatory.

Ms. Leslie left first. She needs to be ready for your trip. ”

Leslie? Who's that.

Richard thought quietly as he replied in a cold tone.

Judging by the rhetoric Peter used, this lady Leslie must have been a member of the Novich school of similar stature to him...... By the way, he knew that Peter was the director of the Great Temple, but there should be more than one director, and "Lady Leslie" was probably another master in the school.

Theoretically, a fireside meeting is a gathering that only wizard leaders can attend, and even masters may not have the opportunity to attend. The hierarchy on the magic tower is strict, and the crowd is clearly divided, and it is generally only possible for wizards of the same rank to get together.

Although the modern society where Richard once lived is also classified, for example, the employees of a large company will definitely not see a big leader on weekdays, but every year and a half, there is still a general meeting and the like that can be seen from a distance. In the wizarding world, even this part is abandoned, and the orders of the legendary wizards who are high up will only be conveyed through the mouths of their subordinates, and the rest only need to do it.

Richard believed that if he went to another level now, most of the members of the school might not recognize him. In other words, even Mr. Peter's guidance didn't make much sense, and it was impossible for him to accompany him into the meeting. Of course, this was a good thing for Richard, who didn't know where the fireside meeting was taking place.

He had no idea what the meetings were about or what they were to take. Richard inherited Rasputchin's knowledge, but it did not include experience or memory. Just now, while still meditating, he searched through the spiritual database, but he didn't find anything. Apparently, Rasputin himself never took the fireside meeting to heart.

……

Shortly after leaving the temple, they came to the center of the huge pentagram formed by five magnificent buildings and the middle road, a wide square that did not resemble the style of wizarding architecture, and could accommodate at least a thousand people at a glance.

The ground beneath Richard's feet was a huge pattern of bright red lines. At first, he thought it was some kind of magic circle, but it didn't look like it from the pattern. He opened his "psionic vision" and confirmed that it was just a mere decoration - his current eyesight was "legendary", and anything with the possibility of triggering a magical effect could not escape his eyes.

Master Peter still did not leave.

In fact, according to Richard's past observations, it is often his or her chief student who usually accompanies the wizarding leader. Since Rasputin had never taken in an apprentice, this responsibility could only be performed by a supervisor who was seen as relatively distant by others.

Although the members of the Rasputin School, including the former Richard, were nominally students of Raspuchin, this was not the same as the teacher-student relationship in the wizarding world in the strict sense of the word, and they were very close, let alone the chief of the school, because it meant the lineage of a school.

There may be wizards in the school who are stronger and older than the chief student, but they only use the name of the leader as a refuge, although they also need to obey orders unconditionally, but they are essentially an employment relationship, while the students recognized by the leader are different, and they have a "one loses and one wins" connection with their teacher.
