"Cooperation?"

"Not bad."

Mr. Evelyn sighed.

"As you should tell, I have little interest in the ownership of the tower itself......"

"Because you've always had other plans."

Richard was unceremonious.

"Rest assured, this thought won't endanger you and your tower."

"It's not mine yet."

"Soon it will be." The blonde youth smiled, "As long as I'm on your side." ”

“…… I see. ”

The black-robed wizard nodded.

"What do you ask for?"

"As you say, I have other plans. I only hope that in this regard, I will be able to use the power of the Magic Tower, as well as your power, whenever necessary. ”

"As long as I agree to this, the wizard leader Evelyn Illiktra will become my companion and fully support me to become the leader of Steppenwolf, that's the terms of cooperation, right?"

"No, no, no, not a companion, but ......"

With a smile on his face, he pointed at Richard.

"Your subordinates. Let the originally loose Steppenwolf become a whole tight group; Having the whole magic tower revolve around you alone is what the ambitious Mr. Rasputin wants, isn't it? ”

Richard did not refute.

That's really his goal. And to do this, not only for him, but also for the entire magic tower, is very important.

At a time when the tower's internal strength has been greatly weakened, if there is no reform, even if it can escape the catastrophe like today, it will only survive in the wasteland in the future.

Richard came up with two initial ideas:

On the one hand, in the replenishment and cultivation of fresh blood, it is necessary to cancel the cruel internal elimination, and prohibit the internal fighting within and between schools; On the other hand, it is to gather scattered high-level power and form a centralized system centered on the leader of the Supreme Wizarding Council.

The purpose of the two is the same, that is, to unite their own forces to the greatest extent to defend against foreign enemies.

Having said that, he was a little surprised by Mr. Evelyn's frankness. Even if the other party can see their intentions, whether they will agree with it is another matter.

The legend at the top of the mysterious world, what a proud person, willing to agree with someone's opinion, to be someone's partner, is already a good thing, let alone willing to become a subordinate, even if only in name.

Richard didn't intend to ask someone directly, "You should be my subordinate", that would be a fool's words.

Once you hear this kind of condescending words, no matter how good the relationship between the two is, the other party may turn their faces directly. The higher the status, the more concerned about their own dignity.

His real goal is to forge the Magic Tower into an organization like the Church.

Joan Borgia's relationship with the Pope was extraordinary, with the exception. In fact, it is difficult to punish even a saint who is favored by God, or even a pope who has been honored by one person, for the mistakes made by extraordinary people who have reached the rank of legend.

But the ability of the Pope, who is skilled enough, to rely on the strength of himself and the institution, and the internal struggle of ruling such a large interest group, to make those who are arrogant feel that it is no longer difficult to accept that they are subservient to themselves.

Although the pope cannot directly issue punishments or orders, as long as a sufficient number of cardinals are co-opted, and by controlling the Council of Cardinals, he can also achieve a clear distinction between rewards and punishments for individuals.

It can be said that it is the system of the Holy See and the ability of the Pope himself that determines the supreme ruler of the strongest church in the mainland, who can truly control the unruly and powerful extraordinary.

And for Richard, who can directly guarantee the absolute loyalty of some core members of the organization with the help of the power of the demon god, it is easier to do this.

Of course, it would be great if you could directly show your submission as Mr. Evelyn did...... But Richard was not carried away by the surprise.

No matter how delicious the cake is, it depends on whether you have the appetite to eat it.

"Let's be more specific."

He asked, for a moment. Now it seems that it is not himself who should really be anxious, but Evelyn.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Rasputchin, the stakes are so high that I won't reveal any information unless you agree to my terms and make a contract."

"Can't just say it?" The black-robed wizard disagreed, "What is there that even the conversation between the two legendary wizards needs to be avoided?" ”

"It's not that I don't trust you, it's just that just saying certain words and a few words can reveal the ...... of heaven"31

Evelyn glanced at the sky silently, pointing.

"Unless, you don't want to take my word for it."

"How can I trust you?"

Richard asked rhetorically.

The blonde young man looked down in contemplation for a moment, and when he looked up again, he smiled as if he remembered something.

"So, Mr. Rasputchin. Come with me. ”

*

The two of them came to a room located on a tall tower in the forest.

It is one of the few remaining intact buildings within the Evelyn School, and it is the most heavily fortified interior dedicated to entertaining dignitaries of high status.

There was more than one person in front of the door, and in addition to the guards of the Evelyn School, there were several wizards in red robes, all of them full of anxiety.

"It turns out that Ms. Garcia is recuperating here."

When the people in the magic tower saw the color of their clothes, Bai Nen knew where this group of people came from.

"Yes, it was that lady's loyal subordinates who sent her to me in the first place."

Seeing Rasputin and Evelyn coming together, everyone hurriedly saluted. The people from the Garcia school seemed to want to say something, but in front of the two wizarding leaders, they didn't dare to say anything.

Evelyn walked to the door, not squinting, and whispered to the subordinate next to him.

"Bring the Sage Potion in the first slot of the Heart of the Tree. I've let go of the permissions. ”

The man looked stunned, but bowed down in response and retreated.

Sage Potions......

Naturally, Richard had heard of the name.

The crowning achievement in the field of alchemy, the Stone of the Philosopher. The fanatical seeker calls it the limit and purpose of all things in the world, the final and inconceivable result of all engineering experiments. It is the perfect essence of all elements, indestructible objects that cannot be damaged or destroyed by any element.

The Philosopher's Stone has an extremely wide range of effects, or more accurately, "omnipotent"; And when it is used as the main ingredient to refine the medicine, it is a genuine "panacea" - that is, the "sage potion".

Any stubborn disease, any serious injury, is meaningless in front of it, and the power of the potion is enough to make the patient recover in an instant, and it is said that the sage potion can even bring the dead back to life.

The method of its manufacture is now lost. Even as a legendary wizard, not everyone is lucky enough to own it, let alone share it easily.

Evelyn's gaze turned back to the red-robed wizards who had stayed there, and her tone was understated.

"Don't worry, ladies and gentlemen. I have examined Ms. Garcia's body, and it is true that the injuries are serious, and even if they can be cured by ordinary methods, they will still be physically disabled, and more importantly, the strength of being a wizard will not be one in ten...... But now that the Philosopher's Stone is used, none of this is a problem anymore. ”

As long as you know something about the mysterious world, it is impossible not to have heard of the name "Philosopher's Stone".

The only reason why they sent Mrs. Garcia, who was seriously wounded, was here because the owner of this place was a legend in the realm of life, and was the only person on this tower who could potentially heal him...... But even so, they never dared to expect such treatment.

As a leader of wizards of equal status, Mr. Evelyn had no need to curry favor with their master. What's more, the Philosopher's Stone is never something that can be easily used in order to have a good relationship with someone.

They looked at each other, and the shock and joy in their hearts were beyond words.

"No, thank you very much for your help......"

The group was so excited that they couldn't even finish their words.

"Don't thank me, if you want to thank me, thank the person next to me. If it weren't for Mr. Raspuchin's request, I wouldn't have taken it out for anyone else. ”

Evelyn shrugged, then looked at the black-robed wizard beside her, and gestured.

"Ms. Garcia."

"Please come in."

An old and frail response came from inside the door.

"Then, Mr. Rasputin, please first."

The smile on the blonde youth's face was full of enthusiasm and respect, as if he had assumed the identity of a subordinate.

Richard already understood what he meant. It's abrupt, and he doesn't know how it will develop next, but for him, it's impossible to refuse the benefits that come to his door.

The two of them stepped into the room together.
