A middle-aged man picked up the red wine, shook it, and asked, "Has Li Xiang arrived at the clock tower?"
"Arrived in the morning."
The person who answered was a young man with blond hair and blue eyes and a high nose, "But Astarte has always been by his side, and we can't find a chance."
"Astarte..."
The middle-aged man's eyes flashed with fear, he took a sip of wine, put the glass on the table, and said, "With her here, failure is normal. With her ability, she might have found the head of our Qishen Society.
superior."
"Then what should we do?"
The young man was obviously a little panicked.
"No rush, what was the result of the last test? How strong is Li Xiang?"
The middle-aged man waved his hand and asked.
"Generally, I haven't seen him use magic, but he has strong movements and knows some swordsmanship."
The young man recalled the scene he saw while controlling the water monkey, and thought of a word, "It's like knowing Chinese Kungfu!"
The popularity of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" in the past two years has pushed Kung Fu's reputation to new heights.
Moreover, the Clock Tower itself offers Bajiquan classes.
"That's okay."
The middle-aged man knocked on the wine glass and said, "If he returns to the Clock Tower now, if he uses violent methods, he will be targeted by the crazy people in the Legal Affairs Section, so he needs to change his approach."
The Law and Politics Department is the thirteenth subject hidden in the Clock Tower, also known as the First Principle Enforcement Bureau.
As the name suggests, they represent the magician's legal and political, operational, and administrative institutions that govern the Clock Tower.
Wherever there are interests, disputes, and battles, they exist.
Any magician who wants to cause trouble will choose to bypass them.
After pondering for a moment, the middle-aged man smiled and said: "It is best for the political and legal affairs department to handle the internal affairs of the clock tower. I remember that there is a captain of the legal and political law enforcement team in the academy, who may be able to solve our troubles in a reasonable and legal manner."
"Wonderful."
The young man also laughed and said, "Li Xiang has just joined the Clock Tower and does not even have the rank of a magician. He will not attract the attention of the top management of the Legal Affairs Department. And even Astarte cannot openly hinder the Legal Affairs Department."
A woman in red walked into the bar and quickly came to them.
"Lucia, I always thought you would bring bad news."
The middle-aged man rubbed his eyebrows and said.
"Your astrology has improved a lot."
Lucia smiled back.
Just a little reluctantly.
"This is not astrology, this is psychology. I can see that you are not in a good mood. Tell me, what is it?"
"The blood-stained bodhi leaves were targeted by Aozaki Orange, and we had to give up."
"The top puppet master."
The middle-aged man nodded with understanding and said, "Giving up is a wise choice."
Crown rank is the top level of magician rank.
Even the Twelve Monarchs have not reached this level.
Not to mention that there is a sister who can use magic behind Aozaki Orange.
"So we are looking for another way to obtain the dragon's blood. Otherwise, we will not be able to activate the ritual."
Lucia looked at the middle-aged man expectantly and asked, "Can you use astrology?"
The blood-stained Bodhi leaf comes from the records in the "Nibelungenlied".
After the hero Siegfried killed the evil dragon Fafnir with the holy sword, he bathed in the dragon's blood and gained a nearly immortal body.
But because the back was blocked by a Bodhi leaf, the only flaw was left.
The Qishen Society is not interested in Siegfried's holy relics, they are interested in the dragon's blood on the Bodhi leaves.
"Astrology is not a panacea."
The middle-aged man fell into silence after speaking.
He looked at the palm of his right hand and saw that it was full of foul-smelling abscesses.
Because of the divination about Li Xiang, he suffered backlash.
The Qishen Society has been established for more than a hundred years.
There are many celestial magicians like him who use astrology to perform secret voyeuristic rituals when they have nothing to do.
But the ones involving the gods never got a response.
Until a few months ago, the middle-aged man obtained Li Xiang's information from the ceremony.
"If you want to get dragon blood in a short time, there is only one way."
The middle-aged man looked down at the ground and said, "Secret Anatomy Bureau."
On the other side, Li Xiang also made the same move.
Because his attempt at immortal mode failed.
Although the magic concentration of Astarte's castle is very high, it is far from the level of true ether.
In the modern era of mysterious decline, it is almost impossible for magicians to find the true ether.
Unless you know the moon very well.
Li Xiang happened to know that there was a relic of the Age of Gods underground under the Clock Tower.
Perhaps it is the largest ruins in the entire world.
The tomb of a dragon over 2,000 meters tall.
Tomb of Albion.
Managed by the Bureau of Anatomy of the Clock Tower.
That ruins are filled with a large amount of true ether, and there are even many fantasy species still surviving.
However, only persons with special permission and members of the Secret Anatomy Bureau can enter and exit freely.
Once the rest of the people enter, they can never return.
But he was just lingering at the door, not wanting to take anything inside.
In terms of difficulty, it seems feasible.
Li Xiang no longer experiments with immortal mode.
Early the next morning.
He was awakened by Astarte.
After the two of them had breakfast, they arrived at Academy City where the Ore Division was located.
Because Li Xiang's basic skills were so poor, he was not in the same classroom as Astarte.
"Teacher Ka Xiu."
Li Xiang met the teacher in charge of his classroom in the office, which is equivalent to the head teacher.
The clock tower is not divided into grades, but is divided into classrooms.
For example, the famous El-Melloi Classroom.
It is particularly popular because the person in charge is Lord El-Melloi II.
Because under normal circumstances, the monarch will not teach.
"I didn't expect you to choose my classroom, but I believe you won't be disappointed."
After reading his information, Ka Xiu smiled warmly.
Special enrollment usually means that Li Xiang has a good family background or excellent talent.
No matter which one it is, it is not a loss for him.
Ka Xiu led him to the classroom.
After briefly introducing himself, Li Xiang walked toward the back of the lecture theater.
"Hi! Come sit down!"
A young man wearing a blue suit and vest waved to him.
And he spoke Chinese.
Although it was not fluent, it still caught Li Xiang's attention.
"My name is Louis."
The young man said enthusiastically, "The flower gardener and magician in the Clock Tower is as rare as a panda. Do you know pandas?"
"Know."
Li Xiang smiled and said, "In our Shu region, we all ride pandas to school."
"Cool! So cool!"
Louis leaned forward excitedly, "Oh my god, you don't know how much I love pandas!"
"Is that why you want to learn Chinese?"
"No, because I was a student of archeology before."
Louis said bitterly, "You don't know that the discipline of archeology requires us to be proficient in at least five international languages. For me, it is as painful as asking a cat to learn dog language. I couldn't stand it, so I applied to transfer to minerals.
division."
Li Xiang twitched the corner of his mouth and said in agreement: "It is indeed painful."
He thought of his miserable experience learning English.
If he hadn't acquired the gift of photographic memory later on, he might have been unable to make a living in London.
