Chapter 242: True enemy

Latest website: When Shikodi opened the top door of the school residence, the scene in front of her was unsurprisingly. Her teacher, Longman Hall, was holding a wine glass in hand, standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and looking down at the scene leisurely. I don't know if it is in meditation or in a daze.
He heard the sound of the door being pushed open, and turned around, the wine in the glass dyed the middle-aged wizard's beard red.
"You came."
Longman Hall's tone was not surprised at all, he was very calm, probably because he had been prepared for the two visitors who would come today.
"How, are you going to say goodbye to me?"
The witch nodded slightly.
"It seems that all this is in your expectation, teacher."
"To say'anticipate the world', no one on this tower can catch up with you now. Congratulations, Miss Miller."
Mr. Hall stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows with a bright sky and raised his wine glass to Seccodi Miller as a salute.
Although it is not a polite move, for a legendary wizard, it is equivalent to a kind of respect-a recognition based on an equal relationship.
At the very least, when the silver-haired witch was just a high-level wizard and only his student, no matter how hard she tried, she showed her ability and loyalty, she couldn't have this kind of treatment.
Shikodi did not respond.
It seems that Longman Hall does know about her. Including her origin, her pedigree, and possible future achievements.
This is a matter of course. After all, the stargazer was on the line with him. Mr. Hall wanted to know the ins and outs of this series of events.
"Then, Miss Miller, I won't say more nonsense. Before I leave, I want to ask you to do one thing."
Longman Hall can be described as extravagant and wasteful in his daily life. The extravagance and luxury he uses are completely in line with the corrupt aristocrats of the upper-class society of the three kingdoms-including all kinds of tedious hospitality etiquette, and like standing Living habits like drinking wine by the window
Shikoudi has always had malicious speculations about this: this may be because her teacher was a poor apprentice at the bottom of the magic tower.
Precisely because I have had a hard time before, I hope that the world and people around me can double back to myself once I have gained power.
But in any case, Longman Hall is a powerful wizard, who cannot be corrupted by the temptation brought by the enjoyment of the life of the aristocracy. He still has the sober willpower to do things vigorously and vigorously. The incompetent aristocratic bureaucracy is not the same thing at all-for example, when making demands.
"What's the matter? If there is still work that has not been handed over between us, I am willing to complete it for you, or find another right-hand man."
The girl's tone is fairly calm, but the meaning of rejection in the words is obvious.
Shikodi never felt that she owed the other person anything.
Over the past few years, the relationship between the teacher and the student is really not friendly. Although Longman Hall’s name is indeed protecting him, the other party paid only the name of a "chief student", and then unceremoniously used the witch as a tool; and she also did not touch herself Work for the other party under the bottom line, do your best, and make no difference.
Moreover, the two actually had a tacit understanding at the very beginning. There was a relationship of mutual use between teachers and students.
"No, Miss Miller, you have misunderstood, I want to ask, it's not just mine."
The wizard leader took another sip of red wine, and then placed the glass on the table. The falcon-like pupils looked at her, and they radiated sharp light.
"You now know what Rasputin Novich once did to you, right?"
…………
The atmosphere in the room dropped to freezing in an instant.
The silver-haired girl couldn't help squinting her eyes.
"...Teacher, you are curious, since when did you know about me?"
"I'm an intermediary."
Longman Hall shrugged, his expression looked not too serious, even smiling-but what he said in his understatement was cruel, especially for the girl in front of him.
"I am an intermediary between Rasputin and the Shipton family, and an intermediary between Rasputin and the vice-president of the Royal Astronomical Society. You are my student and understand the connection between me and the wizards in Greenwich. , The old people who have lived on the tower for a few years know this... In short, once the Steppenwolves have formed associations with the Wudu who want to trade, they will come to me for help. Generally speaking, the relationship between me and that person The cooperation is fairly pleasant and will continue this relationship to the present."
Seeing the silver-haired girl's increasingly gloomy face, Longman Hall did not try to continue to irritate her, but quickly turned to the subject.
"Yes, I did clean up all the people in your family. I know that you in the past have always held a grudge against me for this. But now? After you know the whole truth, are you still blaming me?"
He took a leisurely attitude and sat down behind the table.
"In that situation, I had to do this. And, most importantly, what I did was not harmful to you; the person you should blame is not me—"
"No more."
Shikodi interrupted him.
"In any case, they do nurture me, and your behavior is killing innocent people."
"…………innocent?"
Longman Hall laughed momentarily.
"It seems that you are a little bit reluctant, Miss Miller, we are wizards, not knights who abide by the moral code."
"In addition, those people were never innocent, but just a group of speculative fools. Of course, they may not die, but giving others a notarized trial is not the job of a wizard, is it? They blocked my way. The most correct way is to kick them away."
Shi Koudi hadn't answered yet, another man's voice came from behind the girl.
"From the perspective of that group of people, they naturally did nothing wrong: the Shipton family’s orders were not something they could contend with; but Mr. Hall was not wrong. He just helped his colleagues to complete a transaction. Saintess, you need to admit one thing. Your former family... is indeed a bit unlucky, but this kind of misfortune is inevitable, as the so-called "carrying a crime". By the way, have you heard this term? From the other side..."
"You are here~EbookFREE.me~Mr. Luo Xue."
Regarding the third person's bringing, both the teacher and the student were silent.
"Yes, my friend!"
The stargazer who came in from the door laughed and walked forward and gave the middle-aged wizard a warm hug.
Longman Hall frowned slightly and looked uncomfortable with this way of greeting, but he didn't say anything. The man's eyes were still on his student, to be precise, his former student.
"Miss Miller, what I want to confirm with you is the person who really hurt you in the process and has enemies with you."
"Mr. Rasputin..."
"Yes. He took advantage of this news and used you. In other words, it is Rasputin Novich that really brought misfortune and bad luck to your life;"
"And you know this."
