Richard listened to these words and turned to Eva, speaking in a gentle voice, "Master Eva, it's alright, I am willing to make the appropriate sacrifices for the assembly. If there really is no Wizard Organization willing to take on this route, I will carry it out myself, without wasting any additional power of the Gathering Place."
"This..." Eva was momentarily at a loss for words, as she had no authority to command Richard.
At this point, the brown-haired wizard who had spoken earlier chimed in, fearing Richard might change his mind, "Since that's the case, have you really decided to undertake this route, with no regrets?"
"There's no rush," Richard stated. "I still need to wait for the replies from everyone present. Only if everyone here agrees with my proposal, and all are unwilling to substitute me to carry out the plan I proposed, will I do so."
