Chapter 710 Invasion of the Clock Tower!
The Clock Tower Magic Association is only one of the three major magic associations, but it is far ahead in terms of popularity, sphere of influence, and research on modern magic.
They are very interested in the "origin" of the Holy Grail in Fuyuki City, but they do not particularly believe in and attach importance to it. They only coordinate with the church to send supervisors in each war, and will send a magician who is mostly a fighting faction to participate.
For example, the one who participated this time was Kenneth, and in the eyes of most people who are familiar with Kenneth, victory is a fact that cannot be doubted.
So not many people care.
In the Clock Tower, under the highest person in charge, the dean, the highest position is the three nobles who made great contributions to the establishment of the Clock Tower, and the twelve monarch families headed by the three nobles.
The 12 monarchs serve as the ministers of 11 of the 12 disciplines in the Clock Tower, such as the minister of the mineral discipline is Kenneth, Director Ken.
There is a ranking among the 12 disciplines. Because of Kenneth's talent and accumulated family background, the El-Melloi family ranks fourth.
And the eighth place is the Animus Fia family of the Astronomical Science Department.
Their current monarch, Marisbilly Animusfia, is the youngest of the 12 monarchs, a few years younger than Kenneth.
His half-long white hair is slightly curled, and there is a decorative braid on the left side, but he does not look effeminate. His handsome face is mostly confident and bookish. Marisbilly is usually a taciturn magician who concentrates on research, but he seems to be more sociable recently.
He is in a good mood when he is happy. He just solved a magic problem, and his daughter Olga Marie was born not long ago.
That is a child who inherited his magic talent. Although it is not time to use magic such as astrology to calculate her future, Marisbilly thinks that will definitely be a good ending.
"Teacher Marisbilly."
Facing the greetings of the students, he nodded with a faint smile and walked towards his classroom with a book in his hand. Nowadays, there are not many young magicians interested in astronomy, so he is quite approachable to most students.
Just as he was preparing to start today's class, a thunderous roar suddenly sounded in his ears! Not only the movement, but also the roar that tore the world apart also brought a huge burden to the magic circuit in his body, and the resulting dizziness even made him 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 face changed in the next second.
"Is it... the sound of the magic barrier being broken?! Someone is attacking the clock tower?!"
It's not his fault that he reacted slowly, because this was really a fairy tale, and what was even more fairy tale was that the magic barrier carefully arranged and constructed by magicians of all generations... was broken? !
It was broken almost instantly!
The next moment, a warning sounded in his heart, and along with the warning came a sense of emptiness when the magic book in his hand disappeared.
When he looked up again, he was faced with an endless malice, and he saw Ji Xing, who was holding his magic book and flipping through it, with a black aura wrapped around his body!
Dare not move, can't move.
Cold sweat oozed from his forehead, and Marisbilly's breathing almost stagnated. As the monarch of the clock tower and a magician of the color position, he could not think of using magic to resist for a moment.
Dead Apostle? No, not like that!
What kind of monster is this? !
"Sorry, I'm offended."
Unexpectedly, the first sentence he heard from the 'monster' in front of him was a peaceful apology... and it was quite polite?
Then he saw that the magic book and magic textbook he was going to talk about in class were quickly flipped through, and it took only half a minute to flip from beginning to end.
"Excuse me, I want to take another look at the magic mark on your body. Where is it engraved?" Then he heard the other party say.
The magic mark passed down from generation to generation is the most important thing for the magic family. It records all the efforts of the ancestors to reach the root. It doesn't matter if you just look at it, because this thing is like a QR code. You can't see anything just by looking at it. You have to use your mobile phone to scan it to know the content inside.
But Marisbili didn't dare. This thick and deep darkness was too ominous. If the magic mark was contaminated, the Animusfia family...
"It's on the back."
Marisbili was picked up.
Damn, not polite at all!
The clothes on his back were lifted up, and the magic mark was praised by the opponent. Marisbili's muscles were tensed to the utmost, ready to fight for his life.
But in just two seconds, he was put back on the ground. The opponent even smoothed his wrinkled clothes considerately and said, "I'm sorry."
Really just a glance?
"Who are you..."
"Lord Animusfia?!"
"Monster, leave the teacher!"
Reinforcements are always after the matter is over. The magician of the Law and Politics Department and several of his students rushed here and immediately began to chant spells, and magic fluctuations rose.
Missiles, flames, lightning, restraints...
Various attack magics complemented each other, and after Marisbili saw the opportunity to withdraw, they enveloped Ji Xing's location, rumbling and causing an explosion!
The wall was crumbling and the smoke was swirling, but the magicians didn't need to wait for the smoke to dissipate. They could see that the figure at the center of the smoke was standing straight and unmoved!
"Ah..."
"Is it ineffective..."
Magic power? Why does it look like a Heroic Spirit? Is it related to the Holy Grail War that Kenneth participated in? Marisbilly could only vaguely recognize it and immediately shouted: "Leave here! This guy is not at the level that can be fought in a hurry!"
Among modern magicians, there are only a handful of people who can reach the level of Servant, let alone Ji Xing who descended as a Heroic Spirit! Although Ji Xing was slightly weakened by three points because this place is far from Fuyuki and the supply of magic power from the Holy Grail is not very continuous, it is not possible for such an attack that can't even be considered a tickle to break through the defense.
He looked around at the fleeing magicians and picked a moment to grab: "You seem to have a magic seal, where is it, show me."
...
Half an hour later.
In the open space outside the clock tower, magicians stood there in a mess, and discussions and panic shouts came one after another. Many noble boys and girls with slightly messy clothes were blushing.
Being held on the hand and checked for magic marks feels a bit like finger examination. Although I know it won't have any effect, I can't help but feel ashamed. Being scared and screaming by the strong malice will add more shame in the subsequent memories.
What exactly does that monster do? !
"It's a Heroic Spirit, and it should be a Heroic Spirit summoned in the Holy Grail War in the Far East. It looks like Lancer."
"Lancer? That's not Rhode..."
"I don't know the reason, and you have to listen to the point 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 queen-like face, explained these in a cold voice, and the four people around her, including Marisbilly, changed their expressions slightly.
They are the five monarchs currently in the clock tower, and the woman who spoke is the current monarch of Barthamero, the head of the three nobles, and the assistant of the dean of the clock tower. She is known as the highest magician in modern times, Barthamero Lorelei!
Her judgment is convincing, but the words she said are so contrary to common sense.
It is true that Heroic Spirits can be summoned not only in the Holy Grail War, but no matter what the conditions are, the summoned Heroic Spirits are actually Servants.
If a Heroic Spirit is compared to a water tank, then a Servant is a basin. A basin of water scooped out from the water tank is also called a 'spiritual base'.
Under different conditions and at different summoner levels, the spiritual base of a Servant is different. In theory, 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 summon a water tank directly.
It is welded to the ground!
"How could this happen?"
"It seems that a huge change has occurred in the Holy Grail War in the Far East. I don't know what the malice wrapped around the Heroic Spirit is for the time being, but it is likely to be the cause of today's incident."
"Malice..." Marisbilly looked back at the noisy magicians: "Fortunately, he did not carry out the massacre... If it was a Heroic Spirit, I can only trouble the Dean, right?"
"He's not here." Lorelai said.
"......Not here?"
The dean of the clock tower is one of the disciples of the magic king Solomon who created magic. He has been hiding in the center of the clock tower for more than 2000 years since the clock tower was built. He is considered to be an inhuman existence and rarely shows up. Even most monarchs only see him once every few years.
How could he be gone?
"I don't know. I can't contact him." Lorelai snorted: "The old guy probably judged that he couldn't beat the heroic spirit and hid himself."
The four monarchs were silent.
Silver hair is as noble as a wolf, wearing a green robe and looking energetic in her sixties. The monarch of Baru Yereta among the three nobles, Inola sighed and said: "It fits his character.
What should we do now? Although the hero who was infused with malice just took off some nobles' clothes to check the magic seals as a prank, and now he ran to the library to read magic books strangely, but we have no way of judging what he will do next."
"Or... send him back."
"It's too slow to investigate in Fuyuki City."
"We can only cut off the spell to summon him through fighting." Lorelai looked at the monarch Inola and said: "It may be possible to use King Solomon's magic circle, but our combat power is a little insufficient, and the attributes are currently difficult to match."
"Well, my disciple? Orange does have a doll here, but the price of asking her to help is not low. First of all, the seal must be lifted." Inola nodded.
"Okay."
"We have no objection." The other three monarchs looked at each other and nodded in agreement.
Sealing designation means to detain and capture magicians with rare talents or who violate taboos in the name of "protection", which is similar to a living collection soaked in formalin.
This kind of behavior that violates human ethics is common among magicians. They are guys who will do anything to achieve their roots. Tosaka Tokiomi sent Sakura to the Matou family because Sakura barely met the standard for sealing designation.
And the one currently sealed by the clock tower is the magician Aozaki Touko who has reached the crown and has been "on the run"!
…
In the clock tower, in the library, Ji Xing sat on a chair and flipped through books one by one.
He accepted all the basic sciences, spirit summoning sciences, animal sciences, and plant sciences, and imprinted them in his mind in the shortest time.
"Modern magic is quite up to date and closely integrated with scientific development. This is a good thing for me...."
"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?"
After quickly absorbing 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.
A bright magic circle rose from the ground.
"Here he comes."
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 for lifting my seal designation is to fight this guy? It's a waste of my puppets. Why don't you add me back to the list, and 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, on the magic soil, there are six other magicians with strong magic waves exuding from their bodies, surrounding Ji Xing at a fixed angle 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 as soon as possible and send it back!" Lorelei shouted in a deep voice.
Immediately, 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 seven-pointed star array suddenly unfolded, and various attribute magics were intertwined, giving Ji Xing in the center a strong binding force!
‘A modern pinnacle magician with seven servants and close to the combat power of the servants, plus the famous magic circle of Magic King Solomon? ’
Yes, you can learn a lesson.
Ji Xing smiled, holding the gun in his hand as the wind roared.
"Come on! Purify me!"
Buzz——
The boundless impact roared away!
…
Far away, east.
Wearing a dark robe, with white hair and a white beard, an old man with a strong body who would be called old and strong by anyone is looking at the direction of the clock tower.
"Did you notice me? Something strange happened..."
Kishua Zerrich Shobain'ogu, this name may not be familiar to magicians, but if you mention the 'Gem Man' or the 'Ten Thousand Flowers Mirror', it will ring a bell.
He is the user of the second magic among the five major magics, the second magic user. He has the ability to observe multiple parallel worlds and maintain his identity in the parallel worlds!
There was little he didn't understand.
There it is now.
"That heroic spirit...what exactly is it?"
In all the parallel worlds, nothing like what happened before us happened, not even a servant named Tong Yuan 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 surrounding area screamed and fled away in panic, and became a mess. He chuckled: "It seems that it won't work."
So he waved his sleeves and left.
"Huh...huh..." Among the ruins of the clock tower, Lorelai gasped quickly and looked at Ji Xing opposite with an ugly face: "He's not just a simple heroic spirit, this guy... Dean, you old bastard, what's the matter?" 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 grim look on her face. An old bastard is hiding, and this old bastard comes out... It should be enough to send this heroic spirit back!
…
The next day.
The black car parked in the suburbs, and the tired Kenneth finally returned with Sora.
"Ah, speaking of which, the air here in London is worse than in Japan." Kenneth got off the car and waved his arms, frowning and said: "Why does it feel like the dust is extra heavy after half a month away?"
He looked out over the Clock Tower.
"……ah???"
…
