Chapter 29: I am "Legend" (after)

　　"My lord, the fireside meeting is about to begin, I'll show you the way."
　　 The old wizard who walked into the hall tremblingly, said to him respectfully. Although it seems that he is working normally to his superiors, the other party always maintains a posture of bending over and bowing. This kind of visceral fear and awe, even if Richard, who is not familiar with him, sits on top of it. It can be felt at a distance. Master Peter dared not raise his head at all, as if the person on the throne was not a human at all, but some kind of terrible monster.
　　... It seems that Rasputin's image among his subordinates is not very good. Considering that he upholds secrecy and rarely appears in front of the inhabitants of the magic tower and even members of the Rasputin School, it will cause Master Peter to have such a quiet reaction. Rasputin must have done something in the past. Terrible things that Richard didn't know.
　　 But to say "fear", Richard actually had a feeling similar to that of the old man below. What he is afraid of is naturally the exposure of his identity, so far, he has not dared to make too casual actions. Perhaps with Rasputin’s past behavior, and there is no close person around him, even if there are some differences in his daily behavior, others will not be suspicious, but Richard himself is a bit unable to pass this way. The psychological threshold may take some time to get used to it.
　　 According to Richard’s observation, the dead wizard leader had a gloomy and indifferent character. However, Rasputin's attitude towards him is rather mild, and he has never deliberately made things difficult. More importantly, he is still his benefactor, so Richard has a good impression of him. Perhaps it was because Richard, who was an apprentice, was too weak and didn't have the slightest threat in Rasputin's eyes, so there was no need to show majesty in front of him.
In any case, the relationship that Rasputin has built with others in the past and his own image are no longer important-thanks to the eccentric character and style of this legendary wizard-and then a cautious person is needed. It's myself. And right now, there is a new test waiting for him.
　　 Fireside meeting...
　　 Richard turned his attention away from the corpse. He saw Peter's eyes also fall on it, and his heart tightened. He quickly reacted, the other party should have been wrong about this, he was taking this corpse as himself who entered the hall.
　　 What should I do next?
　　 Richard felt that he was starting to have a headache again. It can be said that "waves of injustice are rising again." Because that was a gathering where wizard leaders of the same status and power as Rasputin participated.
Unlike the vast majority of wizards who are lower than themselves and dare not even face them, the leaders have rich knowledge and experience of magical ways. They have been at the pinnacle of human society for a long time and are regarded as the "uncrowned kings of the wizarding world". "For yourself, a person who was only an apprentice a half a day ago, had to pretend to be a legendary wizard of the same level as them, without showing off his feet-the risks can be imagined.
　　If he can plunder all the power of Rasputin, he doesn't have to think about looking forward and backward, even if Richard's identity is exposed, he will have the confidence to face it. Only power is the truth in the pyramids of the wizarding world. But now, he just has the appearance of a "shell".
　　 "What are you still doing here?"
　　 Richard said in a low voice.
　　 After hearing the words, the old wizard seemed to tremble, and immediately retreated after convicting him.
　　……
　　 After Peter left, Richard sighed long and supported his forehead with his hands.
　　 He didn't have the slightest joy of being able to fool Peter's eyes, even though it was his most worried thing half an hour ago.
　　The test has already followed, and he doesn't even have a chance to relax for a while and take a breath. The timing was so unfortunate that Richard had to bite the bullet and prepare. This uneasy feeling that keeps the nerves in a tight state at all times, as if some kind of ominous omen, casts a shadow over Richard's future.
　　...Can I really stay on this tower for a long time?
　　
　　 This thought just appeared in his mind, and even Richard himself felt a little surprised. Because he was actually prepared to leave the magic tower before his real name was ready to help him.
Richard is not a very adventurous person. Summoning the devil and even later experiments were forced to make choices when desperately desperate, but it happened to fit the truth hidden behind the history of the Mayan world, making everything seem to be going well. . But success once or twice does not mean that the risk has completely disappeared.
　　 He doesn't think he can continue to be lucky. Not to mention anything else, when he inherited the authority of Rasputin, he had already suffered a test that would burn his brain and become a fool when he was not careful. UU Reading www. Although uukanshu.com can get through the difficult situation easily with the help of the real name, what about next time?
　　 In short, a weak person who lacks power cannot grasp the direction of his own destiny. Of course, Richard's vision is broader than that of ordinary wizards. Magic is power, knowledge is power, status and wealth, etc. are power. He signed a contract with the "Devil God", which means that he already has a platform that surpasses most people, so he doesn't need to rush for a while.
　　 Richard’s idea is that his life as "Rasputin" only takes a very short period of time. After he is guaranteed that no one suspects, he will immediately leave the magic tower and go to the kingdom on the ground. Wizard leaders are highly powerful, but because of the existence of schools and subordinates, they are very free. They can be described as representatives of "non-fulfilment of obligations and only enjoying rights". If it is in a society composed of ordinary people, such people will naturally be easily replaced by subordinates; but the wizarding world is different, as long as the leader can guarantee the absolute advantage of rank, no one dares to betray.
　　 Therefore, it is normal for Richard, who is now a leader, even if he does not come back outside the tower for a long time. In fact, Rasputin, who rescued him from the ruins, had been traveling outside for more than a year. Richard's plan is to wait to accumulate strength, and when he is no longer afraid of his identity, he will come back to the magic tower.
　　 But now, it seems that deep in his heart, he doesn't seem to want to leave. Is it because you have nostalgia for the power and status of "Rasputin"? Although it took less than ten minutes to replace the other party.
　　 This feeling of being above 10,000 people is really pleasant... "Power is poison", this sentence cannot be more correct.
　　 Richard shook his head and stopped thinking about it.
　　 Whether to leave or stay, it depends on the development of the situation afterwards.
