Lord Bartholomew, also known as Lorelai, asked expressionlessly.
She didn't notice Li Xiang's presence at all.
Or rather, I don't care.
"My junior brother, Li Xiang."
Astati knew her character, pointed at Li Xiang and said, "You can tell just by looking at her."
Lorelai finally raised her head.
"monarch."
Li Xiang said hello and immediately formed a seal in front of her.
The moment the magic circuit opened, Lorelai raised her eyebrows.
Because in the office, Li Xiang controlled his power and spit out a small fireball.
"How about it?"
Astarte chuckled and said, "In addition to this, there are many new magics. Changing chanting to sealing will definitely have an impact on the existing system."
"good."
Lorelai's eyes changed, and she was no longer so indifferent towards Li Xiang.
Astarte also talked about their plan, cooperation with the Baluereta family, etc.
"It's up to you to take care of this matter."
After Lorelei heard this, she handed the matter over to Astarte without hesitation.
It's not that she doesn't know the value of new magic, but apart from the Dead Apostles, she doesn't really want to care about other things.
"Um."
Astarte was used to her style and did not refuse.
All she had to do was listen to Lorelai's orders.
No matter how you do the rest, you will get support.
Such is the conduct of Lord Bartholomew.
I like being a hands-off shopkeeper.
"Concerning the Death Apostles in Norway, contact me after you find out more about it. If there is really any True Ancestor involved, I will arrive in time."
Lorelai quickly changed the subject.
"I know."
Astarte paused for a moment and said, "If I can solve it, I will."
Lorelei understood her strength, nodded and asked: "Is there anything else?"
"Nope."
Astarte became a little lighter and said, "Lorelei, don't stay in the cold castle all day, go out and walk more."
"..."
Lorelai didn't answer and watched the two of them leave.
After going downstairs, Li Xiang remembered that there were no classes this morning.
Just when he was thinking about whether to return to the law enforcement team, Astarte said: "Didn't Luvia say that she was going to take classes in the modern magic department? Let's go too."
Li Xiang was slightly startled.
Good guy, why are we all going to El-Melloi's classroom?
Weber was afraid of liver pain.
Originally he had two problem children, and now he has three more.
It's fatal.
But the protagonist.
Li Xiang is also very interested in Weber, after all, he has worked overtime at Chaldea for several years.
The two people left the Legal Affairs Department and came to the street where the Modern Magic Department was located.
Silla Street.
Follow the rising ramp to the intersection and the building you see when you look up is the main teaching building of the Modern Magic Department.
Although Gray is Weber's apprentice, her reputation is not well known.
The most famous among the new generation of Clock Tower are his two other apprentices.
Known as the Twin Jewels of El-Melloi.
Flat Escaldes.
He has unparalleled talent, but lacks the mentality of a magician. As a result, he becomes a problem child.
After being rejected by many instructors, I joined the El-Melloi Classroom and my talent was revealed.
He doesn't have any magic system and is always a random guy.
In "fate/strange fake", he once participated in the Holy Grail War as the master of Jack the Ripper.
Sven Gulashette.
He is good at animalistic magic, the kind of magic that can transform him into a werewolf.
He is a rare melee magician.
Brave and upright, with good etiquette, but sometimes his behavior is very strange.
"It's not time for class yet."
Astarte looked at the wall clock in the teaching building and said, "Let's go see the Lord El-Melloi II first."
"I remember joining other disciplines, don't I have to write an application?"
Li Xiang was a little confused, "If we go directly, is there something wrong?"
"fine."
Astarte said nonchalantly, "Just make up for it later, no one dares to accuse me anyway."
Li Xiang didn't know what to say.
What the senior sister said always gave him the feeling that returning to the Clock Tower was like returning home.
The two men arrived at Weber's office.
Astarte knocked on the door.
"Please come in."
Weber put down the pen in his hand, raised his head, and was slightly startled when he saw the two people coming in.
"Miss Astarte."
He stood up and said solemnly, "Thank you for helping your adopted sister in the Twin Towers."
What happened not long ago really frightened him for a while.
For this reason, he rarely said a few harsh words to Lenis.
"Please take a seat, both of you."
Weber picked up the teapot, poured two cups of tea, and said.
Li Xiang looked him over.
The clothes are quite familiar.
Waist-length black hair, red and black windbreaker.
We used to see him almost every day.
Although he was in the game, at that time he inherited Kong Ming's power and was not as fragile as he is now. He would get stomachaches at every turn.
"The two of us want to join the Modern Magic Department."
Astarte took a sip from the tea cup.
"...?"
Weber's head was filled with questions, "Why?"
"The monarch's teachings are well known to everyone in the Clock Tower. I have admired you for a long time. In addition, my sister-in-law Luvia admires you, so I plan to take lessons under you."
Astarte said with a smile on his face.
Weber just felt his head was big.
Can you stop coming these days?
Luvia has already made him extremely troublesome, and here comes the even more terrifying Astarte.
"Miss Astarte, with your level, you can graduate. There is no need to come to attend classes again."
Weber declined politely.
He really doesn't like geniuses.
The reason is that he can't help but be jealous.
Putting aside his teaching talent, as a magician he is actually quite mediocre.
When I see a genius, I always think of the Fourth Holy Grail War.
If I were stronger, maybe the outcome would be completely different.
His followers, the Conqueror, Alexander the Great, and Iskandar were also able to realize his wish.
"There is an old saying, live until you are old and learn until you are old. I just need to listen to the lectures."
Astarte changed the subject and said, "My junior brother Li Xiang joined the Clock Tower not long ago. He is a newbie magician. I would like to ask for more advice from the monarch."
Weber pinched his forehead with his fingers.
Now that the words have come to this, it's hard for him to refuse.
Astarte's strength is well known.
But Li Xiang can indeed teach him a lesson to repay the favor.
He heard Lenis talk about the whole story. Li Xiang had the potential to be a detective and was somewhat similar to himself.
As for the strength, I have only joined a few months ago, so it is mostly average.
If he remembered correctly, Li Xiang seemed to be just the youngest son.
"Welcome both of you to join us."
Weber smiled, and then he stood up and picked up a book on his desk.
"Let's go, let's go to class now."
He closed the door and quickly came to the noisy classroom.
However, the students immediately became quiet after noticing his presence.
Although Weber was very good and might not be able to beat his own students, his prestige was quite high.
"Frant."
Weber frowned slightly and said, "Don't make such a noise every time."
"It's the teacher!"
In the first row of seats, a young man with short blond hair and blue eyes shouted excitedly.
"..."
Weber sighed, walked up to the podium, and said, "There are two new classmates today, Astati and Li Xiang."
"Miss Astarte!"
Flatt became excited again, "Wow wow wow!"
"How could you be so rude?"
A handsome young man with curly blond hair stood next to Frat. His nose twitched and he looked intoxicated and said, "Miss Astarte, what a wonderful smell, like the melancholy grape blossoms blooming under the quiet starry sky."
One is mindless and the other is a pervert.
"Shut up!"
Weber glared at them both.
It's okay to be indifferent at ordinary times, but if you anger Astarte, it will be troublesome.
Flat and Sven shrank their heads and sat down again.
But the two of them greeted Astarte and Li Xiang in the blink of an eye.
They have a very kind attitude towards them who saved Lenise and Gray.
Gray, who was wearing a gray hood in the corner, hesitated and said nothing.
But Astarte ran directly to her side and sat down.
"Today's course is "Modern Magic Practice Based on Electricity and Magic Circuits."
Weber began his lecture.
Li Xiang was thoughtful.
It's about electric current magic.
Chaldea's supply of magic power comes from nuclear power plants.
Same as the theory of electric current magic.
Convert electricity into magic.
It is precisely because of this that Chaldea can summon hundreds of followers.
After class, Li Xiang glanced at Astarte's position.
She was happily playing with Gray.
Well, Gray's soft and weak character can indeed easily arouse people's protective desire and hands-on behavior.
Astarte noticed his behavior and said to Gray: "I'm leaving now. I'll play with you next time."
Gray breathed a sigh of relief as if he had survived the disaster.
But soon they were surrounded by Flatt and Sphinx.
The two of them wanted to chat with Astarte, but she disappeared with Li Xiang in the blink of an eye.
"I have already booked a flight. The two of us will go to Norway tomorrow."
Astarte walked down the spiral staircase.
When I was at the door, I saw Aozaki Orange.
"Boy, have you decided who to make the doll for?"
Aozaki Orange adjusted his glasses and asked.
Her perfect doll is to be made based on the prototype.
It's not a blank doll that can be used by anyone.
And what’s even more bizarre is that the made doll is exactly the same as the prototype.
She won't become beautiful or ugly, and her magic aptitude won't change at all.
"Give it to her."
"Give it to him."
Astarte and Li Xiang said in unison.
Aozaki Orange's face showed helplessness.
Don't I want to lose face?
The other magicians all begged me, but you two were the only ones who resisted.
"Sister, I don't have any use for this doll."
Li Xiang said seriously, "I'm not kidding. Although I can't tell you the reason, it doesn't work for me."
Astarte glanced at him twice, nodded, and said: "It's of no use to me, and I can't tell you the reason."
"..."
If it weren't for her sincere eyes, Li Xiangzhen would have suspected that she was acting as a repeater.
"So be it."
Astarte thought of a way and said, "Leave me a contact information and let you know when we need it."
"Okay."
Aozaki Orange shrugged and said, "Anyway, I will do whatever you say."
"Your purse is at my house."
Astarti brought her car and the three of them quickly returned to the villa.
"I won't stay."
Aozaki Orange picked up her bag and said goodbye, "I just returned to the Clock Tower. I want to visit a friend of mine, Professor Leif."
Li Xiang's heart skipped a beat.
Leif.
Leif, nicknamed the championship bomber, is actually an important figure in the fgo line.
If he had not committed suicide in 2015, it would have meant the destruction of humanity.
Unless a master named Fujimaru Ritsuka comes out to save the world.
It shouldn't be that unlucky.
Li Xiang secretly said that since Lord Marisbili did not participate in the Holy Grail War, the chance of this is still quite small.
After all, he didn't have the money to build Chaldea.
I don't know if Matthew exists.
This was 2004, and she should have been only four years old.
During dinner in the evening, Luvia said that she had passed the exams for the modern magic department and the ore department, and could officially go to school tomorrow.
When she heard that Astarte had also joined the Modern Magic Department, Tohsaka Sakura immediately said that she would apply tomorrow.
Only Li Xiang silently prayed for Weber.
I hope he survives strong.
But this has nothing to do with Li Xiang for the time being, because he and Astarte are going to Norway.
Norway is not too far away, just across the sea from Britain.
The plane crossed the North Sea and docked at the airport near the town of Rollos.
Their target is located in the Hesdalen Valley in the north of this town.
Astarte rented an off-road vehicle and headed towards the valley.
"We have conducted some investigations before. Residents of the small town said that they occasionally saw unexplained light groups above the valley, moving randomly. They called it the Hessdalen phenomenon. After investigation, some experts believed that it was due to
The phenomenon of air refraction caused by different temperatures of the air."
"Is it related to the Dead Apostles?"
After listening, Li Xiang asked, "This Death of the Lake disciple is quite high-profile."
"Magic array."
Astarte explained, "He is not high-profile, but wants to attract humans to go there so that he can contribute to his cause."
"It's really not a pity to die."
Li Xiang frowned and said.
"Having said that, he is not a simple Dead Apostle. Any Dead Apostle who dares to covet the seat of the twenty-seventh Dead Apostle Ancestor is a powerful guy."
Astarte suddenly smiled and said, "It's actually quite sad. After all, the so-called Dead Apostles are just someone's food reserves."
The king of the moon, Zhu Yue.
Real aliens.
It is the source of all Dead Apostles and True Ancestors.
He wanted to truly master this planet, but was defeated by the Gem Man because he didn't understand magic.
The body was destroyed, but an inherent barrier was left behind.
She can use all the true ancestors as her containers so that she can be resurrected.
Astarte parked outside the valley.
Two people entered on foot.
The scenery in the valley is quite beautiful.
At least that's the case for ordinary humans.
But Li Xiang clearly smelled a strong smell of blood.
It's almost impossible to let go.
I'm afraid thousands of people would have to die to achieve this result.
Although there are some good vampires, most of them regard humans as food and naturally have no sympathy.
It can be said that Li Xiang has no burden at all when he kills.
"There are several layers of barriers, making it difficult to sneak into."
Astarte said expressionlessly, obviously she was also a little angry.
