Chapter 159: Visitors from the Observatory

"Three people...?"
Willett froze for a moment.
"Yes. After we set off, the three of us can act together. Don't separate in the middle. There are very few people from the Rasputin School to participate in the spring hunt, and the center of my team has the largest number of people. After the two sides get together, It’s not easy to be noticed by others."
Shikoudi was explaining to herself, but Willett only felt puzzled: she...why did she care so much about the stranger who appeared in front of her for the first time?
Could it be said that Shi has seen through the disguise and noticed the identity of the teacher?
No, this is impossible.
Without prior explanation, Virlet thought it was difficult for even herself to perceive the truth.
Moreover, if Shikodi really guessed that Ricardo Isaac was Rasputin Novich, she should quickly understand that the current situation was caused by the willful decision of a wizard leader.
It is impossible to come to disturb Master Rasputin with his friend's daily behavior and mature and rational personality.
In other words, she really wanted to protect Ricardo, the person who met for the first time.
Willett found that her friend's expression was serious, not as if she said casually. She realized that there might be reasons she didn't understand...
"What the happened?"
On the surface, the two girls are talking and laughing with Richard, but in fact they are having more important conversations in private communications-this kind of occasions where "one mind and two uses" are necessary is commonplace for wizards.
"Why do you care about him so much?"
"Master Rasputin took care of me before. Although he probably doesn't care about such trivial matters, I still want to reciprocate."
As Shi Koudi spoke, she glanced at Richard beside her.
"I don't care about this person, but I hope to meet the requirements of Master Rasputin. Since that person sent this person to the wasteland, I naturally want to help him complete this task. Vili, your thoughts are the same as mine. Right?"
"...It is true."
But this is not what she wants to confirm.
"Poetry, are you worrying about anything? You think that in this spring hunt, there is a possibility that you will encounter some kind of threat. I can't deal with it alone. I need to work together with you to protect it. Mr. Ricardo fighting, does that mean?"
Willett recalled what the teacher said to her on that day:
This journey is extraordinary, and it is likely to be extremely dangerous. There are even the rulers of the Holy League—the shadow of the Holy See is hanging over them...
"You are really sharp, Vili. It's really hard to hide this kind of thing from you, look over there."
Shikodi calmly guided his friend with his eyes.
"see it?"
The blonde witch saw that the mountain people who had danced mysterious dances in the square disappeared, replaced by a group of people wearing white hoods.
They were wrapped in loose robes from head to toe, and their faces were covered by a drape. The above is an abstract eye-like pattern with golden lines.
Because of this outfit, others can't tell the gender and age of this group of people.
They lined up neatly and said nothing. Compared with the noisy magic tower wizards, the white-robed people are like a group of silent ghosts.
"They are the stargazers of Greenwich..."
Willett heard Richard's voice. She looked at her friend questioningly.
"Greenich?"
"The mysterious country on the other side of the sea, the city of fog-they came from the observatory in the center of that city, and they are members of the Royal Astronomical Society."
The silver-haired girl has drooping eyelids.
"I heard that they are also related to the Shipton family.... You know, it is the wizard family that has the blood of the old nun called the "Prophecy Witch" by the Holy See hundreds of years ago."
"Do you think they are dangerous?"
"Not necessarily. But this group of people must have another attempt."
The witch remembered that this group of people had been invited by Longman Hall; including the goal of the spring hunt, this person took the initiative to propose. The teacher also reminded her to pay attention to Mr. Hall's purpose.
...Does the poem hear something from your teacher?
"Okay, I promise you."
Willett no longer hesitated and nodded in agreement.
She has no reason to refuse, especially if she cannot reveal the identity of the teacher.
"But before that, I must get the consent of Mr. Ricardo..."
After hearing the words, Shi Koudi asked in surprise
"Is that necessary? Can he still reject a proposal from a chief student?"
"Uh..." Willett said awkwardly, "I just forgot, maybe I haven't adapted to this status."
"So, maybe this is a good opportunity. How about learning from him how to train his henchmen, how about?" Shikoudi blinked at her and said half-jokingly, "If you don't understand, I can help educate him. "
Willett suddenly had a bad feeling.
"Don't mess around, Shi! The teacher takes him seriously, even if it's me..."
"How come? I didn't say to protect Mr. Ricardo, did I?"
Willett certainly wasn't afraid of such things. Even regardless of the difference in strength, Shikoudi can't hurt others at will. What she worries about is that her friend angers the teacher because she doesn’t have enough awe and acts rudely...
......With yourself by your side, there shouldn't be too intense conflicts, right?
Willett thought ~EbookFREE.me~ just for this matter, it still has to be reported to the teacher.

In the VIP room above the auditorium, there are also two figures standing side by side, overlooking the group of people in white robes in the square below.
One of them is a middle-aged man with a beard on his lips and a red wine glass in his hand, and the other is a young man with black hair.
He was wearing a white robe of the same standard as the stargazers, but he didn't wear a face towel covering his face. The young man’s hair was longer than the average girl’s, and it fell from behind and fastened it with a short wooden hairpin.
"The hunting team you sent here is really full of young people... I heard from others that the magic tower has been standing on its own feet for thousands of years because of its strict rules. Now it is a place where the sunset is west and the sun is down. The facts seem That’s not the case. The really old people are those of us who have been obsessed with looking up at the stars year after year, but have forgotten that thousands of years have passed in the world. It is enviable."
"...Aren't you a young man, your excellency?"
The man called the "library owner" chuckled, neither sure nor denying it.
Longman Hall put down the wine glass and scanned the man with his sharp eyes like a falcon.
"Your Excellency, what is the purpose of coming in person this time?"
"First of all, I would like to express my sincere gratitude. Thank you for your help, Your Excellency Hall, so that we can have the opportunity to come to this wilderness and participate in the magic tower's annual spring hunt..."
"According to our'observations' of the past, you and Your Excellency Howard were unending enemies a hundred years ago. So, when he said that he would help us contact you, one of the steppenwolves, I was quite surprised. what."
