Inside the room is a luxurious bathroom with an area of approximately 30 square meters.
At the end of the spotless mahogany floor is a large solid gold bathtub that can accommodate five or six people.
The golden light made Yi Lin squint her eyes.
On the stone walls with clear textures, lifelike animal reliefs spit out steaming water from their mouths. Although Yi Lin felt quite uncomfortable, she had to say that the decoration here was really luxurious.
The atmosphere of European classical luxury is everywhere.
In the corner of the room, there was a wardrobe with carved threads. Yilin opened it and saw that there were many sets of brand-new clothes. These clothes were of different styles, including modern formal suits, tuxedos, Victorian aristocratic attire, and even
Princess dress with lace.
"By the way, why do you even have skirts? Is it to satisfy the weird hobbies of special people?"
Yi Lin randomly selected a casual suit and hung it on the shelf next to the bathtub.
While taking off her clothes, Yi Lin lowered her head, thoughtfully.
He opened his palm, and there was a crumpled piece of paper in his palm.
This is the note that the tuxedo butler, Cerberus, quietly thrust into Yi Lin's palm when he grabbed her hold just now.
Yi Lin silently spread out his senses, and after confirming that there were no shameless prying eyes around him, he carefully unfolded the paper ball.
Three letters were written on it in scrawled ink.
——"RUN".
The translation of this word is very subtle.
roll?
Walk?
Uh... move?
This word seems to have different understandings in different contexts.
Yi Lin flicked her wrist and put the strange note into the storage space.
"Oh~"
After Yi Lin stripped naked, she lay comfortably in the bath water with a suitable temperature, washing away the dust and fatigue from the journey.
While taking a bath, Yi Lin was distracted, thinking about the meaning of the note.
He crushed a card, and a glass of ice drink appeared out of thin air, floating next to Yi Lin.
After a while, Yi Lin felt that it was not satisfying enough, so she took out a fruit plate that had been prepared in advance, floated it on the water, and drifted with the current in the bathtub.
"Master, do you want a back rub?"
Gayageumimi ran out at some point, shyly covering her eyes with her hands, but her bright eyes were accidentally exposed between her fingers.
"Let's wait until you can rub it."
Yi Lin soaked in hot bath water, drank iced drinks, and ate fresh fruits, enjoying herself inexplicably. In addition to Gayageum Mei, Yi Lin called out Bai Xiaoyi and Nie Hongxiu at the same time. Obviously, except for
In addition to Gayageum, Bai Xiaoyi and Nie Hongxiu seemed a little reluctant. After all, it was Yi Lin's bathing time. They both turned their heads, looking very embarrassed.
Yi Lin did not intend to let the three mother spirits misunderstand, and immediately expressed her thoughts.
"That's it!"
Bai Xiaoyi and Nie Hongxiu breathed a sigh of relief after Yi Lin explained. It turned out that Yi Lin did not intend to do anything evil on such a delicate occasion.
So the three mother spirits nodded at the same time and agreed. One of them faced up, one faced down, and the other moved horizontally. They penetrated the wall from different directions and left the room as quickly as possible.
"Oh~"
"Yeah~"
"Hiss~"
Yi Lin quickly switched the angle of view, one was Xiaomei, the other was Xiaohong, and the other was Xiaobai. It was a pleasure to watch.
Twenty minutes later.
Yi Lin opened her eyes, and saw that the three little female spirits had returned safely with resentful faces. Yi Lin cleaned the fruit cores and peels in the bathtub, put on a handsome suit, and arranged her makeup in front of the full-length mirror in the bathroom.
.Tie it with an elegant bow, perfect.
When the fragrant Yilin stepped out of the bathroom, Cerberus was still waiting quietly outside the door. It seemed that she had always been here and never left.
Cerberus said that Gu Tianqing and Miriam seemed to have finished their work a long time ago and moved to the VIP room. I don’t know if it was Yi Lin’s misunderstanding, but he always felt that Cerberus’s words were complaining. He took a shower.
It takes a little too long.
“The environment here is good.”
Yi Lin smiled.
Cerberus remained silent.
She walked ahead to guide Yi Lin. Yi Lin didn't receive a reply, and didn't say anything more. She didn't mention the little note again, as if it had become an issue between him and Cerberus.
Little secret. Yi Lin looked at Cerberus's back and thought secretly.
This trip to the Clock Tower seemed not as simple as Miriam imagined.
What does that note from Cerberus mean?
Is it a reminder?
Or simply for some reason, let them get out of the clock tower?
And for some reason, she couldn't show these disgusting emotions so obviously?
While Yi Lin was thinking, the two of them walked through the luxurious corridor and came to an empty room.
The room still adheres to the classic European gold decoration style. The dimly lit room, the fancy glazed chandelier, the burning fireplace on the wall, and the soft pure fur carpet all ooze the sour smell of money.
Taste. In the center of the room is a long dining table common in wealthy European families.
Along the way, Yi Lin had no idea whether the Magicians Association was awesome or not. Her intuitive understanding was that the Magicians Association should have been very rich.
Visually, the dining table is about ten meters long and three meters wide, and Gu Tianqing and Miriam have already dressed up and are waiting quietly for the table.
Gu Tianqing was wearing a jet-black tuxedo, which was somewhat similar to Cerberus's style. He even wore a black top hat pretentiously, and his white-gloved right hand was unconsciously playing with a gold-encrusted cane, which was extremely luxurious.
.
"Pretending."
Yi Lin sat down next to Gu Tianqing speechlessly, thinking that if she could wear the skeleton gentleman suit, she would look so handsome on you.
"hehe."
Gu Tianqing smiled and heard Yi Lin's whisper.
Miriam took off her armor and put on a white pleated princess dress. Her slender but powerful arms were covered with lace gauze gloves. She was truly a descendant of a noble family. Putting on the princess dress, she looked like
She is really the rich daughter of an ancient European family, with an air of arrogance and luxury. If it weren't for the murderous look on her face, people would have mistaken Miriam for a frail noble lady.
Both of them seemed to be waiting for Yi Lin.
The three of them finally took their seats.
Cerberus bowed and said, "Please wait patiently, three distinguished guests." After saying that, Cerberus silently walked out of the VIP room through another door.
In the empty room, only Mirien, Yi Lin, and Gu Tianqing were left.
The three people exchanged a quick look. They did not communicate verbally. In the brief eye contact, they all seemed to express that they did not understand the purpose of the Magician Association's torment.
But Mirien had something to ask for after all, so she could only grit her teeth and endure everything.
Cerberus didn't keep the three of them waiting too long.
About a few minutes later.
There was movement from the door Cerberus left.
The sound of wheels grinding on the wooden floor echoed in the empty corridor and entered the VIP room.
Cerberus pushed a wheelchair steadily and slowly entered.
In the wheelchair, sat a pale-faced blond boy who looked to be only fifteen or sixteen years old. The boy's facial features were very delicate. He wore a pair of black-rimmed glasses and his eyes were as green as gems. Behind the lenses, there was a bright green glow.
The light on the ground was particularly eye-catching. Although the boy looked very young, when the boy's face appeared in front of Yi Lin's eyes, Yi Lin couldn't help but frown slightly.
I don’t know why, but Yi Lin’s first impression of the young man was not that of a young man’s youthful vigor, but rather the vicissitudes and morbidity of an old man.
"The descendant of the ancient knight king, Miriam Artoria X Pendragon,"
"The stranger from the east, Mr. Yi Lin,"
"The wise Mr. Gu Tianqing,"
"Clock Tower, you are welcome to visit."
Cerberus pushed the blond boy in the wheelchair and sat down across from Yi Lin and the others. The boy's green eyes swept over the faces of the three of them. He smiled and said the names of the three of them.
After pushing the young man to the dining table, Cerberus silently left behind him, as if he was not worried at all that the three visitors outside the clock tower would have any evil intentions towards the young man.
"Oh, sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. I am Bartholomew Dylan. I am one of the existing monarchs in the clock tower."
"monarch?"
Yi Lin asked in a low voice.
Miriam frowned slightly and explained in a low voice: "The Magicians Association is an orthodox magician academy. Since ancient times, they have been committed to passing on the 'occult science' and cultivating generations of magicians. It is said that magicians
There are twelve disciplines in the association, and the leaders of each discipline are the twelve 'monarchs' who stand at the top of the Magicians Association as the ruling class."
"Oh? You know again?"
"I am a descendant of the Pendragon family, and some of the legends and information about the Magicians Association are circulated in my family. Today is also my first meeting with the 'Monarch'."
Bartholomew Dylan gently pushed the frame on the bridge of his nose and stared at Miriam a few meters away. In his green eyes, there was an inexplicable look, and he smiled slightly and said: "Milian Arturia is ten meters away."
Pendragon, we finally meet."
"you know me?"
Miriam's hair trembled.
The blond boy, Bartholomew Dylan, shook his head gently: "No, but you may not know that your Pendragon family has a deep connection with the Magicians Association."
During a brief conversation between a few people.
Cerberus seemed like a real housekeeper. She gracefully pushed a dining cart and re-entered the VIP room.
After opening the semicircular stainless steel cover, steaming black tea and exquisitely shaped snacks were served separately.
"You're welcome!"
Miriam said you were welcome, but she moved her hands faster than anyone else. Her hair twitched, as if she recognized the delicious food in front of her, and she ate it in one go.
Cerberus once again stood beside Bartholomew Dylan, like an unknown shadow.
"Artoria... the tenth life." Bartholomew Dylan smiled and said, "I already know your request from your letter."
Miriam, who had snow-white cream on her lips, raised her head, with a resolute face, and said as she ate: "I implore Lord Bartholomew to take out the glory of the Pendragon family from his body. To this end, the Pendragon family is willing to
Pay any price."
As she spoke, Mirien pointed her finger at Yilin beside her.
When Gu Tianqing saw this scene, she covered her mouth and laughed secretly.
"The 'Avalon' that was lost again fell on the people of the East again. Ha, what a wonderful coincidence." Bartholomew Dylan whispered to himself. He closed his eyes and seemed to be thinking about whether to answer or not. Approximately
Ten seconds later, Miriam had finished eating the exquisite snacks in front of her. Bartholomew Dylan opened her eyes again and said the answer: "Unfortunately, you are late."
"What!"
Miriam's face became a little more excited, and she didn't care about snacks. She came here with high hopes, just to find a way to take out the "Avalon" from Yilin's body. She even sent a letter in advance, and
The Magicians Association also reported that they agreed.
But she didn't expect that when she worked so hard to bring Yi Lin here, Bartholomew Dylan would give this kind of reply.
Yi Lin, who was firmly seated in his seat, silently put on the hanging ring under the table - he was worried that Miriam would turn her back on her. Yi Lin would not be arrogant about the favorability he gained from Miriam.
It is enough to surpass the "glory of the king".
Yi Lin was mentally prepared instantly.
Although Miriam is currently wearing a princess dress, Yi Lin estimates that this will not affect her speed in drawing the sword at all.
But if we really fight, who is afraid of whom?
This is not his own territory, Yi Lin will not restrain himself.
Even if this place is blown up, Yi Lin won't feel any pain at all.
"But," Bartholomew Dylan changed his tone and smiled: "It's not completely impossible."
Miriam calmed down. She also felt that she had reacted a little too fiercely. She softly said sorry and sat down again.
At this moment, Cerberus, who was standing next to Bartholomew Dylan, leaned over and whispered something into the boy's ear.
The young man nodded: "It's getting late, and the reasons are too complicated. I will explain it to you personally tomorrow."
After Bartholomew Dylan finished speaking, he yawned and looked exhausted.
The hour and minute hands of the clock coincide exactly and are fixed at midnight.
"Please wait a moment, I will arrange a place for the three of you to rest."
Cerberus left these words and pushed Bartholomew Dylan to leave.
before leaving.
Bartholomew Dylan suddenly seemed to remember something and reminded: "There are many hidden magic mechanisms in the clock tower. If an uninformed person runs around in the clock tower, it is very likely that the magic mechanism will be triggered and be in danger.
I hope the three distinguished guests will pay attention."
Yi Lin patted Gu Tianqing next to her on the shoulder expressionlessly and tried to persuade her: "Did you hear me? I'm telling you, be honest and stop running around."
Gu Tianqing: "..."
It can be said that Miriam's mood was ups and downs, a little bad, and her hair was hanging down.
After seeing off Lord Barthemero, Cerberus arranged residences for the three of them. They still walked to the seemingly endless corridor, knocked open the wall, and settled into a room each. Yilin discovered that,
There are indeed many rooms hidden on both sides of the corridor, but on the surface, the location of the door cannot be seen, which is very magical. Yi Lin secretly speculated that this might be the secret of "magic", and he became more and more interested in this "technology"
.
The room was decorated and decorated very high-end. Yi Lin lay alone on the soft bed, lost in thought.
Time passed minute by minute.
At two o'clock in the morning.
Yi Lin suddenly opened her eyes.
"You should have guessed that I won't be so honest, right? Bartholomew Dylan."
