The Clock Tower Magic Association is only one of the three major magic associations, but it is far ahead in terms of popularity, scope of influence, and research on modern magic.
They are very interested in the "reaching the root" aspect of the Great Holy Grail in Fuyuki City, but they don't particularly believe in or value it. They only coordinate with the church to send out supervisors in every war, and will send a magician who is mostly a martial artist to participate. .
For example, it was Kenneth who participated this time, and in the eyes of most people who are familiar with Kenneth, victory is an undoubted fact.
So not many people care.
In the clock tower, under the highest person in charge, the dean, the highest positions are the three nobles who made great contributions when building the clock tower, and the twelve monarch families headed by the three nobles.
Twelve monarchs serve as ministers of 11 of the 12 subjects in the Clock Tower. For example, the minister of the ore subject is Kenneth, Director Ken.
There is another ranking among the 12 subjects. Because of Kenneth’s talent and accumulated wealth, El-Melloi is ranked fourth.
The eighth one is the Animusfiya family from the Astronomical Science Department.
Their current monarch, Marisbili Animsfiya, is the junior among the 12 monarchs, and is several years younger than Kenneth.
Her half-long white hair is slightly curly, with a braid on the left side, but it doesn't look girly. Her handsome face mostly has a confident and bookish air. Marisbili was usually a taciturn magician who concentrated on research, but recently he seemed to be more social.
People are in high spirits during happy events. He has just solved a magic problem, and his daughter Olga Marie also came to the world not long ago.
That was a child who inherited his magic talent. Although it was not yet time to use astrology and other magic to calculate her future, Marisbili felt that it would definitely be a good ending.
“Teacher Maris Billy.”
Facing the students' greetings, he nodded in response with a slight smile, and walked to his classroom holding a book. There are not many young magicians interested in astronomy nowadays, so he is pretty good to most students. Be approachable.
Just as he was preparing to start today's class, a thunderous roar suddenly sounded in his ears! Not only was there movement, but the roar that tore apart the heaven and earth also put a huge burden on the magic circuit in his body, and the resulting dizziness made him even shake!
"…What's wrong?"
Looking around with some confusion and vigilance, he heard screams from the quiet clock tower, proving that the roar was not just echoing in his ears, and his expression suddenly changed in the next second.
"Is it... the sound of the magic barrier being broken through?! Someone is attacking the clock tower?!"
Don't blame him for his slow reaction, because this is really a fantasy, and what's even more bizarre is that the magic barrier carefully arranged and constructed by magicians of all ages... actually broke? !
It was broken almost instantly!
The next moment, a warning sign sounded in his heart, and along with that warning sign came a feeling of emptiness as the magic book in his hand was missing.
Looking up again, he was faced with boundless malice. What he saw was Ji Xing, who was flipping through his magic book and was covered in black energy!
Don't dare to move, can't move.
Cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and Marisbili's breathing almost stopped. As the Lord of the Clock Tower and a color magician, he couldn't even think of using magic to resist.
Dead Apostles? No, it's not like that!
What kind of monster or monster is this? !
“Sorry, I’m offended.”
Contrary to his expectations, the first words he heard from the 'monster' in front of him were a peaceful apology... How can it be considered polite?
Then he saw that the magic book he was going to talk about in class was quickly flipped through, from beginning to end in half a minute.
"Excuse me, I need to take another look at the magic mark on your body. Where is it?" Then he heard the other person say again.
The magic seal passed down from generation to generation is the most important thing in the magic family. It records all the efforts of the ancestors to reach their roots. It doesn't matter if you just look at it, because this thing is like a QR code. You can't tell anything by just looking at it. , you have to scan it with your phone to know what’s inside.
But Marisbili didn't dare. This rich and deep darkness was too ominous. If it polluted the magic mark, the Animusfiya family...
“On the back.”
Marisbili was picked up.
Damn it, not polite at all!
The clothes on his back were lifted up, and the magic mark was praised by the other party. The muscles in Marisbili's body were stretched to the tightest, and he was ready to fight for his life.
But in just two seconds, he was put back on the ground. The other party even considerately smoothed his wrinkled clothes and said, "I'm offended."
Really just a glance?
“What on earth are you…”
“Lord Animusfiya?!”
“Monster, get away from the teacher!”
After the reinforcements were ready, the magician from the Legal Affairs Department and several of his students rushed here and immediately started chanting incantations, causing fluctuations in magic power.
Missiles, flames, thunder and lightning, restraints…
Various attack magics interacted with each other, and after Marisbili saw the opportunity to withdraw, they enveloped Ji Xing's location, causing an explosion!
The wall is crumbling, and the scattered smoke and dust are swirling, but there is no need to wait for the smoke and dust to dissipate, and the magicians can see that the figure in the center of the smoke and dust has not wavered, standing upright!
"ah…"
“Is it invalid...”
To magic? How come he looks like a heroic spirit? Could it be related to the Holy Grail War that Kenneth participated in? Only then did Marisbili have a vague recognition, and immediately shouted: "Get out of here! This guy is not at the level that he can fight in a hurry!"
Among modern magicians, there are only a handful of existences that can reach the Servant level of combat power, let alone Ji Xing who came as a heroic spirit! Although Ji Xing was slightly weakened by three points because this place was far away from Fuyuki and the magic power supply from the Great Holy Grail was not very continuous, this kind of attack that was not even scratching could break through the defense.
He looked around at the escaping magicians and picked a moment to seize: "You seem to have a magic mark too. Show me where it is."
…
Half an hour later.
In the open space outside the clock tower, magicians were standing there in a messy manner. Discussions and shouts of fear and anger broke out one after another. Many aristocratic boys and girls in slightly disheveled clothes were even blushing.
Being grabbed on the hand to check the magic mark feels a bit like a finger test. Although I know it will have no impact, I can't help but feel ashamed. I am frightened by the strong malice and scream, and I will add a little more to my subsequent memories. Share the shame.
What does that monster do? !
"It's a heroic spirit, and it should be a heroic spirit summoned from the Holy Grail War in the far east. Yes, it looks like Lancer."
“Lancer? That’s not Rhodes…”
“I don’t know the reason, and you need to understand the point of what I’m saying, it’s a heroic spirit, not a servant.”
On the other side, a woman wearing a white robe, a red bow tie, and a single ponytail with a queenly look on her face explained this in cold words. The four people around her, including Maris Billy, changed their expressions slightly.
They are the five monarchs currently in the clock tower, and the woman who spoke is the current monarch of Barthemero, the head of the three nobles, the dean and assistant of the clock tower, and is known as the highest magician in modern times. Semero Lorelei!
Her judgment is convincing, but the words she speaks are so contrary to common sense.
It is true that not only the Holy Grail War can summon heroic spirits, but no matter what the conditions, the summoned heroic spirits are actually servants.
If the heroic spirit is compared to a water tank, then the servant is a basin, and a basin of water is scooped out from the water tank, which is also called a "spirit base".
Under different conditions and at different levels of the summoner, the spiritual base of the servant is different. Theoretically, there can be a servant whose spiritual base is infinitely close to the original body, that is, a basin as big as a water tank, but it is impossible to directly pour water. The cylinder is summoned.
That one was welded to the ground!
"how so?"
“It seems that a huge change has occurred in the Holy Grail War in the Far East. I don’t know what the malice entangled in the heroic spirit is for the time being, but it is most likely the cause of today’s incident.”
"Malicious..." Marisbili looked back at the noisy magicians: "Fortunately among the misfortunes, he did not carry out the massacre... If it is a heroic spirit, we can only trouble the dean, right?"
“…not here?”
The director of the Clock Tower is one of the disciples of the Magic King Solomon who created magic. He has been nesting in the center of the Clock Tower for more than 2000 years since the establishment of the Clock Tower. He is considered an inhuman existence and rarely shows up. Even the monarchs mostly It only takes a few years to see each other like that.
Why is he not here?
"I don't know, I can't get in touch." Lorelei hummed, "The old guy probably decided that he couldn't defeat the heroic spirits and hid." The four monarchs were silent.
A sixty-year-old woman with silver hair as noble as a wolf and a splendid look in a green robe. She is the monarch of Baru Yerreta among the three nobles. Inolai sighed and said: "It is in line with his character.
So what should we do now? Although the heroic spirit infused with malice has just taken off some noble clothes to check the magic seals as a prank, and now weirdly goes to the library to read magic books, but we have no way of judging what actions he will take next. "
“It’s better... to send him back.”
“It’s too slow to go to Fuyuki City to investigate.”
"We can only cut off the spell that summoned him through fighting." Lorelai looked at Lord Enola and said: "We may be able to do it with King Solomon's magic circle, but our combat power is somewhat insufficient, and our attributes are currently difficult to match. .”
"Hmm, old disciple? Chengzi does have a doll with me, but the price for asking her to help is not low. The first thing is that the seal must be lifted." Inolai nodded.
"Can."
“We have no objection either.” The other three monarchs looked at each other and nodded in agreement.
Seal designation refers to the detention and capture of magicians with rare talents or who violate taboos in the name of "protection". It is similar to a living collection soaked in formalin.
This kind of behavior that violates human ethics is common among magicians. They are people who do whatever it takes to reach the source. Tokiomi Tosaka sent Sakura to the Matou family because Sakura barely met the designated standard for the seal. .
The person currently designated by the seal of the clock tower is the magician Aozaki Yuko who has reached the title of "on the run"!
…
In the clock tower, in the library, Ji Xing sat on a chair, flipping through books one by one.
He will accept all the basic subjects, spiritual subjects, animals and plants, and imprint them in his mind in the shortest possible time.
“Modern magic has kept pace with the times and is closely integrated with scientific development, which to me... is a good thing.”
"There are many more ways to reach the root than expected. Even if you make a sculpture that is 'extremely beautiful', it is possible to reach it. In layman's terms, is it a level higher than the Tao? Well, these are just conjectures. That’s all.”
"These magicians still avoid taboos. All 'roots' are written as [], harmony?"
Ji Xing quickly absorbed all the magic knowledge. Another half hour passed quickly. Ji Xing put the magic book in his hand back on the bookshelf and looked at his feet.
The bright magic circle rises from the ground.
“It’s coming.”
He glanced out the window, towards the east, and his figure disappeared in place as the magic circle teleported.
"Hey, it's such a guy? He looks very difficult to deal with. The price of lifting my seal designation is to fight this kind of guy? It's a waste of my puppet, why not add me back to the list, I will continue to play hide and seek with you. .”
When his vision became clear again, Ji Xing heard a complaining female voice and saw a woman with light red hair and wearing intellectual glasses.
Aozaki orange?
Looking around again, on the magic soil, there are six other magicians with strong magic waves exuding from their bodies, surrounding Ji Xing at fixed angles in the center.
"Stop talking nonsense, everything else you want will be delivered to you. The transmission is smoother than expected. Purify this heroic spirit and send it back as soon as possible!" Lorelei shouted in a deep voice.
Soon, the magic power of seven people burst out at the same time.
“King Solomon’s seven-pointed star!”*7
In the dazzling magic light, a large seven-pointed star formation suddenly unfolded, with magic of various attributes intertwined, giving the Ji Star in the center a strong binding force!
‘A modern peak magician with seven followers and close to the combat power of a servant, plus the famous magic circle of Magic King Solomon? ’
That’s right, you can learn from it.
Ji Xing smiled, holding a gun in his hand amidst the howling wind.
“Come! Purify me!”
–
The boundless impact roared away!
…
Distance, the East.
Wearing a dark robe, with white hair and a white beard, the old man is strong and strong, and looks like he is strong and old. He is looking at the direction of the clock tower.
“Did you find me? Something strange happened...”
Jishua Zelrich Shobain Ogu, this name may not be familiar to magicians, but if you mention the 'Gem Man' or the 'Mirror of Ten Thousand Flowers', it will ring a bell.
He is the user of the second magic among the five major magics, the second magician. He is a magic marshal who can observe multiple parallel worlds and maintain his identity in the parallel worlds!
There is very little that he does not understand.
It’s available now.
“That heroic spirit...what is it?”
In all the parallel worlds, nothing like what happened before us happened, and there was not even a servant named Tong Yuan who came to participate in the Holy Grail War!
The battle that took place underground in the clock tower could not be hidden from his observation. He stood here curiously for a long time, until the building similar to Big Ben began to shake and then collapsed!
The magicians surrounding the open space screamed and fled away in panic, forming a mess. He chuckled: "It seems like it won't work."
So he waved his sleeves and walked away.
"Huh...huh..." In the ruins of the clock tower, Lorelai gasped quickly and looked at Ji Xing opposite with an ugly face: "He is not just a simple heroic spirit, this guy... Dean, you old bastard, why don't you come out and help?" ?!”
At this moment, she suddenly saw Ji Xing opposite her raising a hand in her direction, as if to say hello.
She sensed something, suddenly looked back, and breathed a sigh of relief with a bad look on her face. An old **** is hiding, and this old **** comes out... It should be enough to send this heroic spirit back!
…
The next day.
The black car was parked in the suburbs, and the tired Kenneth finally returned with Sola.
“Ah, speaking of which, the air here in London is worse than in Japan.” Kenneth waved his arms and frowned after getting off the car: “Why does it feel like the dust is extra heavy after being away for half a month?”
He looked at the clock tower in the distance.
"…ah???"
…
…
