Chapter 318 Clock Tower Instructor Who Works Overtime
Compared with the space rift that Morgan tore open using unconventional means, the channel between the two worlds maintained by the goblins is obviously much more stable.
When entering the passage, Lu Xiao lost contact with Scathach and Arturia as expected.
In the gravity-free dark environment where he couldn't even see his fingers, only a glimmer of light at the end could be seen in the distance. As if he were moving in a vacuum environment, Lu Xiao approached the exit of the passage by swimming.
Leaving the passage connecting the two worlds through the radiant exit, Lu Xiao first heard the noisy discussion coming from the surroundings.
"Who is this person?"
"Invaders of the valley? What a strange thing."
"Who are you! Why do you appear in my classroom?"
The pretended majestic scolding made Lu Xiao feel an inexplicable sense of familiarity. Looking around, Lu Xiao found that he had appeared in a small lecture theater for some reason.
The students, ranging in age from 14 to 20, looked at him with surprise. The long-haired lecturer on the podium had a face full of impatience, but there was a hint of vigilance and doubt in his eyes.
The lecturer in the red coat always felt like he had seen this mysterious hooded man somewhere.
"ah……"
The lecturer's eyes suddenly widened as he retrieved relevant pictures from his long-standing memory.
"Ahem!"
After deliberately coughing twice, the lecturer controlled his emotions and announced to the students in the audience in a calm tone: "Due to the unexpected visit of an old friend, today's class is over."
"Eh?!"
This unclear explanation naturally caused dissatisfaction among students.
"Quiet! Please leave the classroom in an orderly manner."
"Huh~"
Taking out a cigar and lighting it, the lecturer ignored the noise of the students and calmly said to one of the girls who was still wearing a gray hood during class: "Gray, take them away, I have important things to do."
The petite girl nodded knowingly: "Yes, master."
At this time, Lu Xiao had roughly understood the time and space he was in. He casually found a table and sat down, and watched with interest as the unwilling students left one after another under the leadership of Gray.
"Da~"
The moment the classroom door closed, the lecturer who had been pretending to be calm breathed a huge sigh of relief.
"Why do you still stay in this world?assassin!"
Under the excitement, the lecturer unconsciously revealed his hidden true tone, and Lu Xiao couldn't help but lower his head and chuckle.
"Webber, it's been a long time since I last saw you. I thought you had become mature and steady, but it seems that your nature has not changed much."
…
This serious-looking lecturer is none other than Waver Velvet, the current head of the Clock Tower's Modern Magic Department "Norigi" and a first-class lecturer, one of the Masters who survived the Fourth Holy Grail War.
The exit of the passage between the Fairy Lake and the real world is completely random and cannot be controlled by humans. People who leave the Inner Sea of Stars are likely to appear in the parallel world with which they have the deepest bond.
Lu Xiao returned to the world where he had participated in the Fourth Holy Grail War. Judging from Weber's height of over 1.8 meters and his mature face that looked like he was overworked, it should be several years after the Holy Grail War.
Since Kenneth El-Melloi Archipelud was still alive, the El-Melloi school did not decline as it had in its original history, and Weber was naturally not forced to become the acting monarch El-Melloi II.
However, Weber is a talented person after all. Even without the blessing of a monarch, he still showed his talent with the support of the El-Melloi School.
This modern magic classroom is the result of his ten years of hard work. He himself was awarded the post of Minister of Modern Magic Science by the Clock Tower because he taught several outstanding students in succession.
Lu Xiao crossed his arms and asked thoughtfully: "So, it is now ten years after the victory of the Holy Grail?"
Weber, who was holding a cigar in his hand, had a look of astonishment on his face: "You don't know? Then how did you spend these ten years?"
Lu Xiao shrugged: "I went to a parallel world with huge differences from this world, and fought to save humanity."
Weber slapped his forehead in confusion: "What a mess..."
"In other words, you did not stay in Fuyuki during these ten years, but traveled through time and space to other parallel worlds?"
Weber took a deep breath of his cigar and looked at Lu Xiao thoughtfully: "Isn't this the ability of the second method?"
"Haha~ I didn't rely on my own will to travel through time and space, so just use your restraint to help."
Just when Lu Xiao was about to further ask Weber about what happened in the past ten years, the big clock hanging in the clock tower suddenly made a clear and clear crashing sound.
"玎珰~玎珰~"
Weber's face suddenly tightened: "No, only in the most urgent moments, the clock tower will sound the big bell to warn you. You'd better leave as soon as possible, otherwise..."
"Don't worry."
An old voice seemed to come from a distant space, and the next second an old man with a white beard wearing a dignified magic robe appeared in the empty classroom.
"You...you are!"
Weber was so surprised that he couldn't speak when he saw the old man.
Although he had never seen it with his own eyes, portraits of this man were hung in many places in the clock tower. Weber recognized him immediately and hurriedly touched his chest and bowed respectfully.
"Dear Second Magician, welcome to the Modern Magic Department."
Gem Onzelrich waved his hand from the air and straightened Weber's body: "I just came to meet my new colleagues, but I didn't expect that the monarchs responded very quickly."
"Follow me."
Gemstone Weng opened a stable portal with a wave of his hand. He politely stood on the side of the door and extended his hand to signal to Lu Xiao.
'colleague?'
Weber's mind was spinning quickly, and his eyes gradually widened as he thought of the Third Method that was officially announced ten years ago.
Lu Xiao turned to look at Weber, with a joking smile on his face: "Mr. Gemstone, would you mind letting Weber listen in too?"
"It doesn't matter, if you like, just take him with you."
When the fastest-moving monarchs rushed to the scene vigilantly, the classroom of the Modern Magic Department was already empty.
"Tsk!"
Lorelei Barthemero, whose attribute is wind, smacked her lips in displeasure: "Split up and search! An intruder will appear inside the tightly defended clock tower. This is a great shame for the Magic Association!"
…
Zelrich's office is usually not disturbed by anyone, and is considered one of the most secure rooms in the Clock Tower.
It was the first time that Weber had the honor to come to Baoshi Weng's office. He suppressed his curiosity and briefly looked at Cheng She in the office. He turned his attention to Lu Xiao, who had taken off his hood.
'Could it be...'
Zelrich took the lead and sat down on the sofa, signaling Lu Xiao and Weber not to be formal and find their own seats to sit down and chat slowly.
"I wanted to talk to you ten years ago, but unfortunately you left too quickly and failed to find the right opportunity."
Gemstone Man has been alive for at least 1,000 years. His temperament is calm and gentle, and people will not feel uncomfortable getting along with him.
"Third Magician, I heard that you traveled through time and space to other parallel worlds. Do you also have research on the second method?"
After receiving Zelrich's official approval, Weber's eyes flashed with horror and understanding, 'It is indeed so.'
Lu Xiao laughed and cried, shaking his head and saying: "I have indeed done some research on space magic, but I am still far from reaching the point of magic."
"To explain it in a more layman's terms, I was captured by my inhibitions and forced to the timeline of human incineration to help Alaya kidnap people."
At the end of the Sixth Singularity, Lu Xiao has understood Alaya's true plan.
There have long been joking speculations that Arturia is the biological daughter of Inhibition... Of course, this is a joke.
But just from this, we can see how much Alaya values Arturia.
The Lion King is the ultimate evolved version of King Arthur with thousands of years of experience. Even if it is weakened after losing the divine blessing of the Holy Spear, today's Artoria is definitely the strongest among all the silly derivative versions, a proper gold medal.
thug.
And the most important thing is that Arturia is still alive. Being alive means having infinite possibilities, unlike the heroic spirits, which have a fixed upper limit.
As the holder of the Holy Sword of the Stars, Alaya hopes that Arturia can grow to the level of the first-generation Holy Sword user and become the backbone of the earth.
Depending on the situation, the two inhibitory powers may even give her the status of Ultimate One, becoming a veritable type-earth, the strongest guardian of the earth.
