Chapter 278: Endgame (11) New Era

"The God of True Name (
"Of course I can't guarantee that you will become a great leader, because no one can guarantee the future, even the ‘prophetic witch’ in the rumors. But unlike others, at least, I can see hope in you."
Richard glanced calmly at Ms. Garcia and Mr. Evelyn next to him.
Although Mr. Hall said something that sounds very rude to them, the two of them didn't seem to be angry...
Of course, because the other party's words were rude, it was not impossible for them to turn their faces suddenly, but even so, Richard still understood that they were not really angry.
Even if there is a fight, it is not angry because of being insulted.
From this, he understood one thing: Longman Hall was correct in saying that no one among the members of Steppenwolves is a qualified leader, and they themselves know this too well—even if they are treated with generosity. The famous Evelyn. Otherwise, he could not be so indifferent to Mr. Hall's words.
On the bright side, it's because wizards have higher goals, and they are not easy to become enemies of others in order to fight for power. Even if the magic tower falls one day, they will not take it to heart.
But this road is not suitable for Richard.
He is not going to give up the magic tower. Whether it is for the people on the tower or the tower itself, this place bears almost all his memories after passing through.
"After I leave, I will take those in the Black Blood Society who are willing to follow me, but those who are unwilling to leave and all the property left in the school will be given to you. Mr. Rasputin, It is the payment I paid in advance, and I hope you can treat it well in the future."
"The magic tower originally didn't belong to you, this is meaningless."
"Hahaha! That's right."
Longman Hall's laughter was very hearty, completely different from the gloomy impression he had given in the past.
"It's me who made a mistake. No matter whether you can become a qualified leader in my eyes, if I really can't beat you, I will definitely not be willing to give up... We are opponents. We were in the past, and maybe we will be in the future. So , You really don’t need to take my words to heart."
"Then don't use what I left as a reward, but as a gift. It is a gift for the winner of my undefeated competitor."
...
Richard proposed to hold a banquet or a ceremony to send off Longman Hall. Of course, was declined by the other party.
Mr. Hall has made up his mind to leave, he can't have a way to keep him strong.
The other two are even more indifferent. After all, they are accompanied by Richard. The goal is only to stabilize the internal situation of the magic tower and promote Rasputin Novich to become the leader of Steppenwolves.
Although Richard feels quite regretful: This means that the member of Steppenwolf will lose another member, and the departure of every legendary wizard is an irreparable loss for the magic tower; not to mention, Lang Man Hall and such a person willing to be his companion would be more reassuring, just like the temporary alliance between the two in this civil war.
However, the departure of a strong competitor in the base camp is a good thing after all. Without the obstruction of the Hall School and the Black Blood Society, the centripetal force surrounding Rasputin himself will become more stable and perfect, and he can quickly condense the magic tower into a whole.
Even if he lacks a finger, as long as he can squeeze into a fist, he can still exert a much stronger force than before, he has always felt that way.
...
Longman Hall was moving faster than he expected. After the wizards had finished their conversation, he left his room and flew to the White Tower, seeming to have no nostalgia for his school.
Ms. Garcia took the first step to leave. She and Mr. Douglas from Baita had something to say.
"It seems that Mr. Hall is still a bit unwilling to lose without a fight. What he said just now doesn't sound like him in the past."
Mr. Evelyn said with a smile.
"That may be because you in the past have never known the real him."
"It's possible, but it doesn't matter to me." The blond young man shrugged, "It's you, you have to be careful when you meet him in the future, my respected leader. As he said, you may still become opponents in the future. Because, with his ability and ambition, I am afraid that he will not be satisfied just because he is a member of the White Tower Alliance."
The black robe wizard nodded slightly and agreed. Later, he said:
"That's the future too. Now, let us get together and relax."

Longman Hall will follow through to the end with his unswerving and vigorous style. After he made up his mind to leave, the afterthought of the Hall school was faster than expected.
There is one thing I don’t know if it can be said to be expected: in terms of the result, nearly one-tenth of the people on the entire tower left with him.
This is an amazing number. Although Mr. Hall is one of the five people at the top of the magic tower, no matter how many people have supported him in the past, he is willing to leave the tower with him now. The determination needed is not to rely on verbal promises or join someone on the tower. This organization is so simple.
As for the composition of this part of the staff, it is not so much the collective migration of the entire Hall School, as it is that almost the entire Black Blood Society chose to continue to follow the leader, regardless of which school the members originally came from.
It can be seen that the decision made by Longman Hall is completely correct. In terms of organizational form, associations united around the highest leader are more reliable than loose schools.
The road to the future was set before him, and this was what Richard was about to do.
...
A week later, the farewell day finally arrived.
The people who left voluntarily have been moved.
Longman Hall and his team are doing this with patience: to transfer a group of people from the living environment they have been accustomed to to another place, even if he is a unique leader, he needs to pay close attention to his subordinates. Look and feel.
Richard is also very patient.
In a sense, what he has to do will be more radical than Longman Hall. In order to bring a radical change to the magic tower, his methods will be more intense. It's not a bad thing to waver and someone else to leave.
The black robe wizard stood on the top of the tower, holding a red wine glass, quietly overlooking the wide square below.
A large number of wizards gathered around the fence, and even the scholars who usually soak in the laboratory and the library came out.
Everyone looked up at the white tower rumbling not far away. After a week of hovering, it is about to take off again and drive away from this wasteland~EbookFREE.me~The departure of Longman Hall and the Black Blood Society is the biggest news since the end of the Civil War. No one is not aware of it. Shock.
Some people feel frustrated by this, while others are excited; some people worry about the magic tower after the two "setbacks" of civil war and division. It seems that the decline is inevitable, and some people are secretly grateful that after a large number of people are lost, the remaining wizards will undoubtedly have more opportunities to make their heads on the tower, and the resources that can be allocated will also be richer... …
Others have vaguely sensed the changes in power and decision-making at the top, and are feeling anxious about the arrival of unknown changes.
Only one thing is clear to everyone: after today, this tower will bid farewell to the past.
Richard took a sip of the red wine and narrowed his eyes slightly.
At the end of the endless sky, a faint and moist glow appears, as if to indicate that a new era is coming, with far-reaching implications; and the magic tower will also usher in a new future, setting sail in a more magnificent world.
The Maya Continent, the New World, the Underground Sea...the vast sky and above the earth, the power is vertical and horizontal, like a hundred rivers, the new magic tower is destined to compete for the position of the head ship.
And he will be the helmsman of this huge ship.
Suddenly, Richard seemed to be aware of something. The black-robed wizard wearing a mask raised his head and looked at the top of the White Tower. There is also a man with wine standing there, looking down at himself.
Richard raised his glass and motioned to him.
The middle-aged man smiled slightly, drank the wine in his glass, and turned to leave.
...
The White Tower finally took off.
Accompanied by thunderous vibrations and sounds, it pierced through the clouds and flew high, and finally disappeared from people's vision, leaving only a faint blue mark in the clouds.
