Chapter 36: The Silver Witch (Back)

　　 As the chief student, Shikodi has met with the directors of the Novich School more than once. According to the other party, this adult has a moody side. Although their leaders rarely interfere with the affairs under their hands, it does not mean that they are easy to cope with. On the contrary, this requires the superior ability and absolute loyalty of subordinates, and they may be "eliminated" if they are not careful.
　　 Facing the wizard leader’s question, he can only answer immediately. All kinds of answers flashed in Shikodi's mind, but she finally decided to choose honesty. Fortunately, the other party did not embarrass himself, even though Shikoudi answered "I don't know", Master Rasputin didn't seem to take it seriously.
　　 "I'm sorry, Master Rasputin, this is my lack of ability..."
　　 Rasputin rubbed the top of the snake stick, no emotion could be heard in his tone.
　　 "It is true. But at least not stupid enough to lie in front of me."
　　 "Thank you for your generosity."
　　
　　 "Other wizard leaders haven't come yet..."
　　 Looking at the back of the silver-haired girl, Richard felt slightly relaxed.
　　 He felt that his actions in the past half-day can be called "step by step startling". He must desperately turn his mind and squeeze his mind all the time. This kind of intense and exciting experience is the first time, so that mentally unavoidable feeling of fatigue. Possessing the theoretically unscrupulous position, but not possessing the matching power, this is the most dangerous situation.
　　 In fact, the group of people serving the wizard leaders are full of awe of Rasputin. Richard has seized the rank of Rasputin, and no one can see through the disguise on the surface. As long as he doesn't make a move, the possibility of exposure is not very great. In this cautious state, perhaps he has made some fuss, but he can't feel at ease anyway.
　　 He is still in the stage of "imitation" now. In this process, as long as one person has doubts about Richard, this doubt is likely to be amplified in the following days and eventually swallow him completely. He must not arouse anyone's suspicion before he has the opportunity to leave the magic tower.
　　 just now chose to help Shikoudi for this reason.
　　If it's nothing to do with him, Richard would naturally choose to stand by; but obviously, if he did nothing at that time, the two might conflict next. At that time, he must be punished as a wizard leader, even if Richard himself does not have boring thoughts such as "his dignity is being challenged", but in order to avoid arousing suspicion, he must do so.
　　 But how to punish? He does not have the memory of Rasputin, and does not know how "Rasputin" will act in this situation; more importantly, he does not have any normal spellcasting ability, which will become a very difficult problem. The best way to deal with it is to prevent it from happening in the first place.
　　 Richard made a decision, and overthrew the matter with an understatement. As a result, he did succeed, which is a relief.
　　 As for why you chose Shikoudi...On the one hand, he is a man who has had conflicts with him. Although he does not know him, he is a young and beautiful girl. Isn’t it natural to choose which one?
　　……
　　 The two came to one side of the corridor. Shikoudi grasped the brass handle and opened a red wooden door.
　　 The most central part is a fireplace. The fire is burning in the furnace, and the firewood makes a "cracking" sound, making the room linger with a faint fragrance. Five wide seats similar to a sofa are located near the fireplace.
　　 "Please wait a moment here, Master Rasputin."
　　 The girl asked in a low voice while bowing to him.
　　 "Do you have any more orders?"
　　 At this time, Richard has already a little aftertaste. He knew that Reed Joyce was the spokesperson of a certain wizard leader, and the silver-haired girl in front of him would conflict with Reed, which meant that she was probably also a chief student, but it was not clear whether her teacher was. Who.
　　 The two represent the power of different factions on the magic tower. Their relationship is not good, and they can even be called "tit for tat", which shows that Reed Joyce and the silver-haired girl belong to a school of opposites. As for the scene on the periphery of the hall, Richard can now guess the reason behind it: The two chief students probably got the teacher's order to talk to themselves.
　　 As mentioned before, the power in the magic tower is not monolithic. There are fierce conflicts between leaders and leaders, and the internal schools and associations are complicated. Richard felt his head hurt again~EbookFREE.me~ because at this moment he was in the center of whirlpool power, as if standing in the center of a storm. The surroundings seem to be calm, but if you take a wrong step, you may be crushed.
　　 He must gather information and prepare in advance. Of course, this cannot be achieved quickly. He couldn't ask the girl in front of him, let alone say any extra words. He couldn't listen to it. After all, his primary goal was to play the role of Rasputin, and he would never be exposed.
　　 Richard did not answer, but instead cast his gaze to the floor-to-ceiling window on the side of the room. The dark gray of the glass tells him that this is a window that can only be seen from the inside to the outside and cannot be seen by the outside world.
　　 Richard walked by Shikoudi and came to the floor-to-ceiling windows, overlooking the banquet on the ground. Among them, the men and women who came and went, they were all dressed in gorgeous dresses, and no one wore wizard robes, but Richard could still see the extraordinary.
　　 The crowd is clearly divided into two categories. On one side is a crowd whose temperament is very different from ordinary people, that is the wizard on the tower; while the other is closer to ordinary people. However, these people are often accompanied by tall and strong people, all of whom seem to be full of guard, and they should be bodyguards and other roles.
　　 To accurately judge their rank, the magic of the school of prediction is needed. Of course, the level of magic power can be judged to a certain extent by the amount of magic elements gathered when casting a spell, but this must be seen when the wizards start their hands.
　　 "This banquet, more than the people on the tower participated?"
　　 "Yes. For this banquet, we invited ‘people on the ground’, a group of nobles from the southern region of the Rhine Kingdom."
　　 Shikoudi replied, who came behind him.
　　 "...Rhine Kingdom?"
　　 Richard blinked.
