Moreover, not only Ms. Garcia, but several other wizarding leaders apparently knew the news as well.

Thankfully, they didn't get too deep into it. After all, this involves the research and secrets of a legendary wizard, and Rasputin will never be honest with them.

Leaders are well aware of this, because they don't give any clear answer. The members of Steppenwolf are allies of the same faction, but they are far from being friends, and it is not uncommon for them to have disagreements and fights with each other.

Of course, although we will not inquire openly, it is inevitable to gather intelligence and change tactics in secret. Novi Hraspuchin's power has increased even further, and not to the extent that the way they get along with him will change whether they see him as a potential threat or a target to be wooed.

Richard has now found some way to play Rasputchin. Without knowing how to answer, he just had to "snort coldly". Anyway, this is very much in line with his personality, so let them make up for the rest by themselves.

……

In a quirky atmosphere, the fireside meeting came to an end.

For the rest of the year, Richard remained silent, not questioning or expressing any support for the various policies proposed by the leaders, but only cautiously observed.

The attack at the behest of a legendary dark wizard, while not having any real effect on them, did alter something hidden within Steppenwolf:

Mr. Hall, Ms. Garcia, and Mr. Green no longer appear as aggressive as they were before the attack, but that doesn't mean their relationship has eased; On the contrary, in Richard's view, this apparent calm between the representatives of the two forces shows that one or both of them have made up their minds.

Beneath the seemingly rational and harmonious dialogue, there is an astonishing undercurrent surging. "The mountain rain is about to come and the wind is full of buildings", which is probably the description of this situation.

By the time the meeting was over, a real storm was about to come up and down the Tower—Richard thought.

......

"Boom."

Above the tower, the sound of bells ringing. This symbolizes the most important gathering of the year on the magic tower, and the day that will determine the future fate of this wizard tower has finally come to an end.

After Richard had completely resolved the curse, the atmosphere at the banquet had returned to its original state. However, in addition to a few unlucky people who were injured, there were also some wizards who also chose to leave early.

Among them were the Black Blood Society, who dragged the half-dead assailant down and left. What followed was naturally a brutal "inquiry" to him. In this regard, wizards are eternally lacking in compassion, and no one will have sympathy for their enemies.

In addition, although the wizards are not professional interrogators, their skills in this area are unique and famous on the mainland, which is naturally due to their deep accumulation of knowledge in the "field of life". This constitutes a key element of their horrific image in the minds of the general population. In some places, adults will even scare their children like this: "If you don't obey, a bad wizard will arrest you for experiments!" ”

However, Richard did hear rumors of mad wizards experimenting on babies and children. Even if most wizards are morally "normal", who doesn't have blood on their hands? In their eyes, there is not much difference between living people and animals.

That's why Richard was so panicked when he found out that Rasputchin was dead in front of him.

To be honest, while the people on the ground tend to be prejudiced against the inhabitants of the Magic Tower on the Wizard's Tower, most of them are really not groundless.

For wizard leaders, the interrogation is left to their subordinates. Of course, if you are interested in the mastermind behind the scenes, you can also choose to meet the attacker.

That's what Richard intended. He didn't have much idea of provoking the dark wizard, but when he noticed that the attacker was a knight of a high rank, he began to think about it.

Don't forget, one of his two goals is to find a way to become a knight and improve his magic in a different way. Getting the relevant knowledge, of course, is not difficult for a legendary wizard, but this guy is really suitable, after all, the captives will definitely be killed after being squeezed out of the information. Richard could have waited until the end to go, and then asked someone to dispose of it directly.

Since there was a way to avoid suspicion completely, he didn't mind adopting it. Richard decided to borrow the mental realm spell on his snake staff to obtain the knight's cultivation method and the necessary common sense from the other party.

......

Ms. Garcia and Mr. Green were the first to leave the room. Mr. Evelyn did not stay long, either, and went to his students after Richard's farewell.

Richard was the last to leave. But he didn't rush back to his own great temple to study Raspuchin's legendary spells and the prismatic thorn that contained the legendary curse.

"It's been a fruitful day. In this world, risk and benefit are always linked. ”

Richard, who had already found a way to control his own destiny, was no longer looking ahead and backwards, full of anxiety. He has more far-reaching plans for the future. For example......

He looked at the magic key in his hand that had been in his hand from a few minutes ago. There is only one sentence in it.

"Is there something you want to discuss with me?"

The person who sent the message was none other than Longman Hall. It seems that the first person who intended to win over Novich Raspuchin was him.

This is not unexpected. In Richard's view, in the struggle between the radicals and conservatives in the tower, Longman Hall was undoubtedly at a disadvantage. Although the Black Blood Society, as the number one magic association, can call for wind and rain in the tower, the key to the future of the magic tower is still among the five "Steppenwolf".

Mr. Green and Ms. Garcia are in one faction, while Raspuchin and Evelyn remain neutral, and Mr. Hall has to find a way to win over the remaining two.

Richard left the tower and decided to meet him.

I don't know if it's a coincidence, but on the way to the agreed place, he met the silver-haired girl again.

Longman Hall's student, Poety Miller.

After the other party noticed him, a look of joy suddenly appeared on his face. The girl lifted the hem of her skirt, stepped on her high heels, and trotted towards her.
