Facts have proved that looking for a lake and a small town in the vast history is undoubtedly like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Li Xiang spent a whole weekend but did not get the answer he wanted.
But he's not in a hurry either.
Anyway, it's impossible for his flower to grow legs and run around.
"Today I made the appointment myself."
Astati placed a bowl of noodles in front of Li Xiang.
It's not Japanese ramen, but the kind of beef noodles that are very common in florists' homes.
"Thanks."
Li Xiang picked up the chopsticks and asked again, "Senior Sister Tohsaka, are you out for something?"
"Um."
Astarte nodded, sat opposite him, and glanced at him from the corner of his eye.
“It tastes pretty good.”
Li Xiang took a bite and commented.
It's not particularly delicious, but it's not bad either.
He's not very particular.
Astati secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said calmly: "Well, junior brother, you just need to get used to it."
Li Xiang glanced at her, and for some reason he felt that she looked like a cat at this time.
I must be hallucinating.
After he finished a bowl of noodles, he took her car and came to the Botanical Branch.
Compared with the one we just met, Astarte drives very smoothly now.
It was as if I had escaped from the excitement of racing and returned to a peaceful life.
Well, that's a welcome change.
When I first asked him to ride in the car, he refused. You can't just let me sit in the car, and the car is speeding.
Fortunately, his worries did not come true.
Li Xiang received a text message from Akechiko yesterday.
Let him arrive at the Botanical Department at seven o'clock tonight on time.
"Your paper has passed the Clock Tower review."
Kazuko looked at the small book in her hand and said casually, "Congratulations, you will be the last son from today on."
"Thank you, teacher."
Li Xiang didn't expect the clock tower to be quite efficient.
"In the information registered in the Clock Tower, your rank has been certified. If someone asks you about your rank in the future, you can say that you are the last son."
Kazuko took out a document similar to an ID card, threw it in front of him, and said, "Keep it yourself."
Li Xiang scanned it quickly and found nothing special.
Just two lines of words were marked.
The last son of the magician, Li Xiang.
Prepared by the Magic Association.
Li Xiang had a sense of déjà vu as a civil servant.
Now he can be considered an official.
According to the energy of the clock tower, there is no problem at all in guesting as a police officer or an agent.
Li Xiang thought of the elixir he saw at the auction yesterday and asked, "Teacher, are there any elixirs that can increase magic power?"
The magician of the plant family is good at making medicines.
Kazuko probably can do it too.
"have."
Kazuko raised her head and said, "But medicine is one-third poisonous. You are extremely talented, so there is no need to pursue quick success."
It seems that the elixir is not as wonderful as he imagined.
Li Xiang was thoughtful.
In this case, he should remain a melee magician for the time being.
According to the simulator's standards, one attribute point is equivalent to an ordinary human being.
His muscle strength is twenty-one, which means that his strength exceeds that of twenty ordinary humans.
It's really a pity not to play melee combat.
"If you want to increase your magic power, you might as well try Gemstone Man's Gemstone Sword."
Kazuko seemed to have remembered something and said, "You are a student in the mineralogy department, and you happen to be able to study the subject of gem swords."
"I remember that my senior sister was also studying gem swords. She didn't succeed, and it was even impossible for me."
Li Xiang shook his head and said.
The gem sword can indeed solve his magic problem.
Because it is based on the second magic, it can call upon the magic of parallel worlds.
But it is almost impossible to make it.
In the original work, Tohsaka Rin was the only one who succeeded.
And one of the most important reasons for her success is that the Heroic Spirit Emiya, her servant Red A, projected the gem sword for her.
Although it is an inferior product, the structure and other aspects are close to the prototype.
In other words, Tohsaka Rin saw the original gem sword, and later used the resources of the Magic Association to create a replica gem sword.
"You are different from her."
The corners of Kazuiko's lips curled up slightly and she said, "Astarte is less lucky than you. Problems always occur at critical moments."
Li Xiang was slightly startled.
This sentence is really strangely familiar.
But when Akuko said this, he was somewhat interested.
If he really gets the gem sword out, he will be carrying a huge power source with him, comparable to the Nine-Tails Power Bank.
Maybe he can master his immortal mode without entering the spiritual tomb Albion.
Li Xiang left the Botany Department and returned to the Ore Department to take classes.
In the afternoon, he contacted Astarte and asked about the gem sword.
"Where are you?"
"In front of the Minerals Department, I have no classes in the afternoon, so I plan to go to the Legal Affairs Department."
After Li Xiang finished speaking, he saw Astarte appearing in front of him.
"Here you are, the blueprint of the gem sword."
Astati reminded, "The production of magic gifts requires the foundation of alchemy. If you don't know how to do it, you can ask someone for help."
She blinked.
She dared to try the gem sword before, naturally because her alchemy skills were pretty good.
But after finding Li Xiangxiang, the production was stopped.
Li Xiang looked at the design drawings over and over.
The gem sword is called a gem sword because its blade looks like a polygonal gemstone.
It also has another name called Wanhua Mirror, which is kaleidoscope.
"I will think about it."
Li Xiang replied casually.
Isn't this a coincidence? His alchemy is pretty good too.
Astati bit her lip lightly and said, "Junior brother, I wish you good luck."
"Thanks."
After Li Xiang said goodbye to her, he returned to the Legal Affairs Department.
After reading the design drawings, he could understand why a large amount of money was needed.
Because the materials involved are all very expensive.
"I should ask Senior Sister if there are any remaining materials."
Li Xiang changed his mind and shook his head again, and said with emotion, "Eating soft rice is indeed addictive."
But how to make money is really difficult.
Even King El-Melloi II is still running around with huge debts.
Li Xiang knocked on the table.
It stands to reason that in 2003, you could make money by doing anything like copywriting.
But after all, he is a magician.
Li Xiang suddenly thought of his innovative magic system.
He can definitely cheat money.
Magic chanting has been changed to magic seals. With such a bold and promising design, aren’t there any magicians who would be attracted by it?
This is a disruptive business.
However, for the magic subject, Li Xiang was also a grown-up girl who was riding in a sedan chair for the first time. He had to ask his senior sister for the specific process.
He put down the blueprint of the gem sword and turned on the computer to write his second paper.
"Feasibility analysis of magic circuit operation based on magic seal method".
Compared with the first article, this one is undoubtedly the core.
All magic performed by modern magicians are inseparable from magic circuits.
It can be said that the magic circuit is the core of this process.
Once you can use magic seals to drive magic circuits, it means a whole new kind of magic.
It took Li Xiang two afternoons to finish writing it.
In the evening, he handed the paper to Astarte.
In the research group he envisioned, senior sister was undoubtedly the best candidate.
"Is it about the gem sword?"
Astarte's lips curled up slightly as he took the information, but then asked in surprise, "Magic seal?"
She had read the first paper before, but it was almost out of reach.
If you are an ordinary magician, you may spend your whole life without success.
"Senior sister, you can talk about it after reading it."
"You are very confident."
Astarte smiled, stopped talking, and looked down quietly.
Her expression showed a little surprise from time to time.
After half an hour, she put down the paper, thought for a moment, and then praised her: "Junior brother, your intelligence is amazing."
Li Xiang glanced at her, but he always felt that she was calm.
There is a well-informed atmosphere.
"I would like to apply for a project from the Clock Tower to solve the problem of funding for the gem sword."
Li Xiang did not hide anything and said, "Sister, what procedure should I follow to get the most funds."
"The new form of magic may have an immeasurable impact on the power of the Clock Tower."
Astarte pondered and said, "You know, there are three major factions in the Clock Tower."
The Clock Tower is divided into three major factions: aristocracy, democracy, and neutrality.
The noble faction follows the old tradition and believes that only the chosen ones can learn magic.
The so-called chosen ones are the heirs from famous magic families.
The democratic faction advocates opening the door wider and giving corresponding status to outstanding magicians, whether they are nobles or commoners.
The neutral faction has no internal unity, they just don't want to participate in the gathering place of magic families between aristocracy and democracy.
"The Edelfeldt family is a democratic party. As for the new magic, if it can create value, Edelfeldt will never miss it."
Astarte smiled and asked, "You should have heard of Luvia's name. If you are interested, I will help you contact her."
"no problem."
Li Xiang nodded.
Luvia's character, just like her actions, is quite straightforward, revealing a noble and righteous magician.
At least you don't have to worry about her backstabbing.
But the next day, Astati told him that Luvia was temporarily busy and would have to wait a few days before coming over.
Li Xiang was not in a hurry.
In addition to classes, I spent time in the library.
But unfortunately there are still no useful clues.
On Friday, Li Xiang came to the Legal Affairs Department.
"There is one thing."
Alan stopped him and said, "Yesterday a Dead Apostle entered London, and his trace is currently unknown, so the Legal Affairs Department asked our law enforcement team and the Chorus Team to cooperate in a large-scale search."
"What should I do?"
"Why don't you look scared?"
Alan noticed his calm expression and couldn't help but ask, "Those are Dead Apostles. You should have understood how difficult they are when you were in class, right?"
"Fear cannot solve the problem, we have to face our fear."
“Good attitude.”
Alan patted him on the shoulder and said, "If you arrive at Portobello Street on time at three o'clock in the afternoon, a member of the choir will contact you."
"Isn't there any secret code for contact? What if we recognize the wrong person?"
"Don't worry. She has your portrait and won't admit it."
Alan reminded, "Although the Chorus Team is on the same level as our law enforcement team, they are stronger, so we still have to be careful."
