The teacher-student relationship in the wizarding world is not only a constraint for the students, but also a protection in some cases - at least no teacher will kill their students openly. For Poetic Müller, who was in the midst of a broken family and a completely vulnerable party at that time, Raspuchin's words could indeed be called a life-saving grace.

But that's not necessarily wrong. After all, you've noticed that she's inherited the 'MONOCULUS' of the Shipton family. If it weren't for that, I wouldn't have taken her in as a student. If she is only used as a prophecy tool to squeeze, her talents will be completely wasted. ”

This has happened in the past...... Although the exact details are not yet known, Richard has already speculated about the reasons for Miss Scotty's attitude.

The wizard in front of him had killed the entire clan of the silver-haired witch in order to obtain the witch's prophetic ability and the bloodline of the crown family.

Longman Hall shouldn't have gotten to this point, after all, he still wanted to use Sycodi. But in the process, there may be some kind of accident, such as accidentally being noticed by someone from the Shipton family - think about it, if he is a member of the crown family, knowing that the clan with his own blood in his body is favored by a legendary wizard, he will definitely not just give up. Who knows if the other side will find out some secrets and thus hold the control of an entire family in their hands - so Longman Hall simply did not do anything, killing all the witnesses and witnesses, and carrying only the valuable Poet to the tower.

And the former Rasputin also played a disgraceful role in this process. Just as Richard had expected, the wizarding leader he had taken his real name from was anything but a good man, and like most of his countrymen, he had a murderous, ruthless, and egoistic character.

Every wizard leader stepped on the corpses of countless of his peers and ascended to the pinnacle of the mortal world, but even when they ascended to the throne, the sacrifice did not stop, but intensified.

In a way, the reputation of legendary wizards is not only in the mouths of enemies and outsiders, but also in the countless wizards who have become their nourishment for themselves. This plunder was brutal and brutal, leaving no room for resistance. The social structure of wizards can be said to be the most unhealthy, but it has the strongest foundation of the pyramid.

Richard carefully chose not to respond. Who knows if what the other person says is true or false? Although he didn't think that a wizard leader of his stature would test himself with such lame words, and that he should not arouse anyone's suspicion for the time being. However, care can sail the ship of ten thousand years.

"You don't think you've forgotten, do you? I got a student and assistant to look forward to, and you got paid for what I offered, a master in the field of alchemy, didn't you? ”

Was Peter Campbell all part of that past deal? Since this matter can be confirmed by asking Peter, Richard chooses to believe the other party's account. …… Of course, he still won't give any affirmative answer. After all, he really "doesn't remember".

"I forgot."

Richard replied lightly.

"I never force myself to remember the little things that are not worth remembering."

Longman Hall seemed to be choked and didn't speak for a while.

“...... Well, so be it. ”

Finally, the wizard leader shrugged and moved the conversation away from the past.

"Then let's get down to business."

*

"Presumably Mr. Rasputin knows what I mean. If we don't agree on cooperation, you won't respond to me, will you? ”

"Longman Hall, your enemies are two legendary wizards. If you want to pull me in, the price you pay will not be low. ”

"That's not accurate."

Mr. Hall smiled, and there was not the slightest hint of kindness in his smile.

"I just want to get the two seniors to change their minds. I didn't intend to drive them away from here. So we can't be called enemies between ourselves. ”

"Legendary wizards' heads are far stronger than granite."

"Then I have no choice but to find like-minded companions and share power with me."

This is the expected answer.

Richard stopped talking, but looked at the other calmly.

Longman Hall understood what the man in front of him meant, and he said confidently.

"Then as a sincere request for an alliance, Mr. Raspuchin, I will tell you good news."

The middle-aged man raised a finger from under his robe.

"The obelisk you've been looking for all over the continent, and one of them is in my possession."

...... "obelisk"? Richard frowned, he didn't know what it was.

But he soon found the answer in his head.

The Obelisk is a special type of magical structure that has been handed down from ancient times, and can only be found in the ruins of a large empire. Since similar ruins have been excavated thousands of years ago, the obelisk has naturally been lost in history. Occasionally it will appear in a corner, and it will attract a large number of people to fight, and after a bloody war, it will fall into the hands of a certain force...... Information and records such as this are abundant in Raspuchin's database. At the very least, this shows that he was really concerned about the whereabouts of the obelisk.

According to records, the number of obelisks that have appeared in history will not exceed 20 combined. At present, there are only single digits of clear whereabouts. The shape of the obelisk is close to that of a large stone monument, but no one knows the exact name. It greatly enhances the mana within a certain radius, which is somewhat similar to the effect of the magic circle, but far more powerful than any known ritual or magic circle.

The obelisk is not an alchemical object, but a magical item, and of course it may not be accurate to call it an "object" for its delicate structure and shape, and the method of its manufacture has been lost,

Sounds a lot like a magic book. It's better to say that it's simply a large magic book......

...... Wait, the Book of Demons?

A flash of inspiration flashed in the apprentice's mind, and the speculations of not long ago were all connected at this moment-

Richard seemed to have a vague idea that he knew why Rasputin wanted the obelisk.

His mood suddenly became excited. If he guessed correctly, the key to his mastery of power was likely to really fall on Raspuchin's "Legendary Spells......

"How?"

Mr. Hall's expression looked confident, believing that Rasputin would not be able to refuse the deal. If this were the case, even if Richard did not perceive the true effect of the obelisk, it would be difficult for him to open his mouth to refuse.

Richard was silent for a moment, then replied.

"What do I need to do if we form an alliance?"

"It's convenient, just wait until the time comes. Bear with me, Mr. Raspuchin, and you will soon know the answer. At that point, all you have to do is choose to be on my side. As for the contact ...... before that"

Mr. Hall thought for a moment and came up with a proposal that was somewhat unexpected by Richard.

"During this time, I plan to have Shikodi come to you as an assistant, what do you think?"
