Chapter 50: Radical and conservative

　　 turns out to be such a thing.
　　 This is probably the direct and external cause of the contradiction on the tower. There are fights where there are people, not to mention the "steppe wolves" with power divided into five, but this kind of internal struggle for power is a key factor, and the sense of oppression from the outside cannot be ignored. And this is a topic that Mr. Evelyn also mentioned before, which shows that everyone's eyes are focused on this...at least in name.
　　Mr. Hall’s words are indeed very provocative. Richard was a little thoughtful.
　　 He felt that if this exchange was heard by the wizards below, especially young people, even if they didn't say anything, most of them would probably stand by Mr. Hall's side.
One is the conservative who upholds the tradition unswervingly and holds the time-honored agreement to demand strict restraint on himself; the other is the propaganda of abandoning tradition, actively participating in secular activities, and also taking the mainland environment that will become more sinister and tense in the future. The answer is self-evident for the reformists who emphasized the necessity of power development, and which ambitious young wizards would choose.
According to his observations over the course of a year, the wizards on the top floor are living far away from the ground. This life of looking down on the ground all the time, and the "magic tower" they are attached to are themselves recognized as powerful forces, plus The outstanding talents that he possesses that stand out from the vast majority of people make almost everyone of them inevitably bring a sense of arrogance. In Richard's view, these young people are the seeds of radicalism. No wonder the Black Blood Society under Mr. Hall's name has developed rapidly in the past few years...
Richard agrees with Mr. Hall’s vision of the possible threats to the magic tower in the future. It is very important to be prepared for danger in times of peace. Moreover, Mr. Evelyn had made the same judgment before that. He felt that several wizard leaders were in this regard. There should be consensus. But this does not mean that he will rashly agree with Mr. Hall's views.
When a country, an organization, or a force needs to usher in change under the leadership of a leader with vision to survive, the person who first stood up under the banner of "change" may not be the one who can truly guide People who are moving towards a brighter future may be just warmongers, political speculators or careerists, and those who choose to oppose him are not necessarily "stubborn conservatives" in the usual sense.
In Richard’s eyes, Longman Hall is like such a dangerous man. Compared to someone who can lead the magic tower out of trouble, he is more likely to choose to use the magic tower as a bargaining chip and bet into the Maya continent. In disputes, people who seek profit from this. Even if the tower itself fell into the abyss and was crushed to pieces, he wouldn't care about it.
　　 Of course, this is just a kind of Richard's intuition. And in the final analysis, apart from Mr. Evelyn, the other wizard leaders, including the former Rasputin, have actually never cared about the magic tower itself. Even after leaving the tower, they are still legendary wizards aloft.
　　 But for today's Richard, the meaning of the magic tower is very different, it must exist.
Maintaining its current state, the magic tower may not be able to avoid the tendency of one day to weaken, but as long as the magic tower is still ruled by the "stepper wolves" composed of five legendary wizards, it can maintain a total of nearly 3,000 official wizards. , It is a powerful force that everyone on the entire Mayan continent cannot ignore.
No one will easily provoke a

first-class power that can be regarded as

. As long as they can continue to maintain a relatively neutral position between the major kingdoms and the church, there will be no fools who are willing to balance the number and The magic tower wizards who are quite capable are pushed to the enemy.
　　 If the huge risks inside the magic tower are put aside for the time being, Richard will be able to live a stable life for more than ten years or even decades under the guise of "Rasputin"...
　　From this perspective, Richard is more biased towards the conservative forces of Mr. Green and Ms. Garcia.
　　 just...
　　 He sighed secretly.
　　 There are always unsatisfactory things in the world, and the stable life in Richard's dream may not last long. Judging from the tough attitude displayed by Longman Hall, it is absolutely impossible for him to have the patience to wait for more than ten years.
　　 In fact, Richard was not without psychological preparation, but he had never expected that the contradiction between the two major forces in the tower would come so fast and so intense, leaving no room for relaxation. Judging from Mr. Evelyn’s expression, this kind of gunpowder-scented scene is not common in fireside meetings over the years.
　　...How could it be such a coincidence that I let myself run into it?
　　 The voice of wizard leaders in their respective forces is absolute. Since both Mr. Hall and Ms. Garcia are going to tear their faces at the meeting, they must wait for them to go back, and the men on both sides will definitely fight more intensely. UU reading www.uukanshu. com
　　 "The preparation you mentioned is to put our young people in danger?"
　　 Mr. Green's expression became serious. This time, he clearly stood on Ms. Garcia's side.
　　 "If this is the case, it's better to give up getting involved in the muddy mud on the ground from the beginning."
　　 Longman Hall looked at the old man in front of him with deep eyes. Compared to when he was tit-for-tat against Ms. Garcia, his expression is now more serious and oppressive... and it also shows the jealousy in his heart.
"Of course you don't care about the affairs of the Holy See, Mr. Green." He said slowly, word by word, "After all, you are not the same as us. You are a'crowned one', as long as you are willing to crawl under the feet of God. Able to be transcendental, maybe you can inherit the next pope and become the master of the world, right?"
　　 In the huge room, no one spoke for a while. Only the matches in the fireplace crackled. But Richard could feel an invisible sense of oppression, like being at the bottom of the deep ocean, and the air was filled with almost unbreathable pressure. The eyebrows under his mask were beating constantly, like a disturbing omen.

　　 Just then, there was a commotion from below.
　　 The noisy and chaotic voice didn't mean to stop, but it became more and more exciting. It seemed that there was an accident at the banquet.
"what happened?"
　　Mr. Hall frowned. It was only then that Richard realized that the host of the banquet, Poetry Miller, was his chief student.
　　 The next moment, accompanied by a sharp whistling sound, a wave of invisible and intangible energy rushed up and slammed into the floor-to-ceiling window. The waves were blocked by the suddenly lit barrier, exploding colorful "fireworks" in the air.
