an hour later.

Three in the morning.

Yilin sat at the top of the clock tower, yawning and overlooking the city.

"City".

you 're right.

Compared with "colleges" and "associations", Yilin felt that it was more appropriate to use "city" to refer to the buildings built with the clock tower as the core.

Magicians Association, surrounded by mountains.

The rolling mountains provide a natural barrier for this mysterious place.

When he came, Yilin felt strange.

There seems to be some cover around the magician Association.

From a distance, it is clearly a mountain.

But when seberas came out, Erin looked up and saw the bell tower.

"This is also magic?"

It took an hour for Yilin to walk around the whole magician Association.

In the dead of night, except for several staff members who were patrolling back and forth in the corridor wearing black dresses and carrying a lamp, Yilin didn't see anyone else.

Night is the best protective color of Yilin.

Even, Yilin doubts whether the magician association is intentional. In many traffic arteries, Yilin has set up the structural map of the whole magician Association, so that Yilin can explore without pressure, just like wandering in the back garden of his own residence.

The area of the magician association is much larger than Yilin imagined.

The location of the clock tower, as indicated on the roadside map, is only "one of the twelve disciplines of the magician Association".

These twelve disciplines are all basic disciplines, individual basic disciplines, spiritualism, minerals, animals, inheritance, plants, celestial bodies, creation, curse, archaeology and modern magic.

Other disciplines, in various forms, are hidden in the city of London, underground or in architecture, in the form of "cities in the city".

In the dark, there are many hidden channels connecting these 12 disciplines and connecting the whole magician Association.

Strangely, many channels are marked on them“ ×”, It doesn't seem to be in use.

In other words, the territory of the magician association is the whole city of London.

As milline mentioned before, her Knights' League residence is also on the outskirts of London. But it's a distance from the clock tower.

The base of the Knights' Union is the ancestral house of pandragon, which is also the place where their ancestors died. That hill, in their ancestral motto of pandragon family, is called "the hill of King meteorite". This is also the information that Yilin uses the ultimate means - food temptation to get out of the mouth of dumao.

In just one day, Yilin has found the fatal weakness of the knight King: her IQ will drop slightly lower than that of ordinary people in front of irresistible food.

"The magician Association really needs to exist like a 'Big Mac' on the surface. This is the second guild in the world, and there is no Knight League. It seems that my speculation is not wrong."

Yilin took out a piece of soul food [flower seaweed cookie] and ate it on the clock tower. It was very happy if no one else ate it.

Yilin didn't eat the snack just now. He was worried about what was hidden in it.

I'm a little hungry now.

Other disciplines will not be mentioned for the time being.

This is the "classroom" of the magician Association, the first discipline and all basic disciplines.

Buildings are scattered.

Intricate corridors connect these classrooms.

Between the buildings, there are tree lined paths and skillfully carved human relief fountain, which looks like an elaborate park.

Street lamps are dotted with stars in the night.

At a glance, it was difficult for Yilin to figure out where these cloisters led. The route is too complicated.

The locations marked on the map are also limited. Yilin found that some of the secret structures found during Yilin's exploration were not marked on the map.

When taking a bath, Yilin sent three little mother spirits to explore through the wall.

He found that there were many places that seemed to have set up invisible barriers, which were clearly visible in the vision of the spirit. It is covered with lines that Yilin can't understand.

Those invisible barriers, without understanding, Yilin didn't rush in.

In this clock tower, "magic" is everywhere and constructs everything here.

"Magic" is like gears that run unimpeded in the whole clock tower.

Yilin only got a glimpse of this new system and couldn't help indulging in it. Otherwise, Yilin just explored and couldn't spend an hour so long. Yilin spent a lot of time studying the structure of magic. Speaking of it, some lines that Yilin accidentally saw are somewhat similar to the ancient alchemy books that Yilin borrowed from Xing Fei.

According to Xing Fei, Europe is also the birthplace of ancient alchemy.

"Without 'alerting' them, we can only explore here at present." Yilin said, glancing at a slightly old building and whispering a smile in the dark. The next second, he moved, turned into a shadow and disappeared in place.

I was speechless all night.

Nothing exciting happened in the strange environment.

The next day.

Branches on the sun.

Yilin woke up naturally after sleeping.

Outside the window came the voice of yingyingyanyan.

In the wardrobe of the guest room, there are also various styles of European clothes.

Yilin chose a relatively low-key white shirt and untied the top two buttons at will. Yilin finished dressing and washing and walked out of the door.

Seberas had been waiting outside the door.

When Irene came out, seberas did not complain at all and said calmly, "your Lord has been waiting for three in the VIP room."

From the outside, the corridor is bent and twisted, but inside the corridor, it is a straight corridor with no end in sight. This kind of blindfold without any sense of disobedience surprised Yilin.

When he came to the VIP room, sure enough, the blonde boy was in a wheelchair.

The corresponding position of the dining table, high-grade silver tableware and fine-grained plates are placed neatly.

In the dinner plate, there are scrambled eggs, roasted tomatoes, sausages, bacon, tomato juice, soybeans, fried potatoes, butter toast and croissants, each of which is only a little. It has a wide variety without being bloated. It is put on a clean plate, and the thick mushroom juice is evenly sprinkled on the food.

The corresponding staple food is a bowl of delicious cereal porridge.

"The colors are well matched, the color, smell and taste are complete. You have a good cook."

Yilin doesn't hesitate to praise.

As the saying goes, do as the Romans do. Yilin didn't show affectation this time. He put on a white scarf, raised his knife and fork and prepared to eat.

Seberas's voice came from behind: "thank you for your praise, Mr. Yilin. Would you like milk, juice, coffee or breakfast tea?"

"Breakfast tea, thank you."

This is a traditional and classic English breakfast, very authentic. As a soul gourmet, Yilin saw at a glance that these ingredients had spent a lot of effort in processing, which was worth tasting carefully.

The proud and elegant Knight king, Miriam altoria x pandragon, had buried himself in eating and ate silently a few minutes ago. In the moment when seberas served tea, the food on Milian's plate disappeared half inexplicably, like a gust of wind.

"Cow, cow, cow force."

Yilin looked at mileen's elegant magic eating method, and couldn't help thumbing up.

Gu Tianqing was silent, like a little transparent.

After a big breakfast.

Seberas bowed to the crowd, then silently withdrew from the room and locked the door.

In the room,

Only bathermero Dylan, one of the twelve monarchs, and Irene.

Erin is curious.

Suppose at this time, he suddenly took out a gun, what would happen.

Of course, Irene just thought about it. It's not against the law.

Barthemero Dylan, closed his eyes and meditated for a moment, as if thinking about where to start.

Sitting in a wheelchair, the blonde boy fiddles with the golden bangs on his forehead from time to time. He always feels chilly at the forehead.

Silence for about half a minute.

Barthemero Dylan begins:

"The magician association existed two thousand years ago and has a long history. We magicians are mysterious researchers and inheritors. We devote our knowledge and life to knowledge all our life."

Yilin smiled: "I like knowledge."

Bathermero Dylan smiled and responded: "no one doesn't like knowledge. In fact, throughout history, human evolution lies in the inheritance and development of knowledge. The 'mystery' we study is also a kind of knowledge that is not recognized by most humans."

"In history, the magician association has successfully continued through world changes, scientific and technological shocks and wars. Even, once our magician association had hidden branches all over the world."

"Until, ten years ago."

The young man sighed, as if he remembered something, and his face became more pale. A bitter smile came up on his mouth: "when it appeared, the magician Association completely existed in name only. In fact, now, there is no magician Association in the world, only the clock tower."

"And you are the 'outsiders' who set foot in the clock tower for the first time in ten years."

Millian looked serious and said, "it's a great honor."

The young man waved his hand and motioned the knight king not to be polite. His cold eyes fell on Yilin: "guests from the East, do you know what the most precious treasure of the pandragon family, 'Avalon', also known as the 'distant ideal town', is?"

Mileen and Gu Tianqing's eyes turned to Yilin at the same time.

The knight's eyes are burning.

It's all tears.

"Props." Yilin said with a smile, "an accompanying prop that can't be taken off. By the way, it's epic."

With that, Yilin looked at the young monarch and observed each other's expression.

The young eyelids droop, and the mood and look in his eyes are completely hidden behind the lens.

Bathermero Dylan did not refute Irene's words, but continued to say, "it's a 'prototype treasure'."

Didn't wait for Yilin to ask questions.

The teenager did not continue to explain what was "prototype treasure".

"If you want to strip the 'prototype treasure' from the host, there was a corresponding magic ceremony. However, when the 'it' appeared, the 'prototype treasure' was given new power, and the 'prototype treasure' became the 'mystery' itself."

"That is... Props."

"Mysterious, inseparable from the host, almost impossible to separate in any way."

Aside, millian smelled the speech and her expression was complex. His eyes were full of murderous intent. His hair fell and his facial features crowded together. He looked like he was about to cry. Of course, this is just Yilin's interpretation of mileen's wrung expression. Maybe she is resisting the impulse of drawing a sword to cut people now.

"Almost?"

Under the table, Erin slipped a card into millian's hand - it was a delicious food that millian praised so much.

After receiving the soul food, millian looked down and her eyes brightened. With the "almost" that Yilin deliberately asked, Milian was quiet again.

Hoo

A false alarm.

It's a shame to let Milian cut people in public now.

"Yes, almost." Bathermero Dylan, with an expressionless and tired face, continued: "it has given new power to the prototype treasure, making the prototype treasure in the world a 'mystery', including a 'thing' that has been hidden in the clock tower."

Yilin, Gu Tianqing and Milian listened quietly.

When bathermero Dylan said this, Irene had roughly guessed what he was going to say next.

Sure enough,

The teenager continued:

"That 'thing' has always been sealed in the clock tower as a 'research object'. Even when the world changed ten years ago, the 'mysterious' attribute of that' thing 'is still not enough to restore the ability consistent with the legend."

"Therefore, few people know the existence of that 'thing'."

Millian looked happy.

Here comes hope.

But this joy, just born, was splashed with a basin of cold water by Yilin.

Yilin changed a comfortable position and leaned against the back. The knuckles of the right hand gently knocked on the Sterling Silver handrail, making a crisp tapping sound. The other hand habitually pulled the cold and moist dead skin on the forehead. He chuckled and interrupted the prince's words: "that thing is gone."

Millian is stupid.

Gu Tianqing also smiled.

Bathermero Dylan raised his eyes again, and a faint surprise floated in his jade green eyes. He didn't expect that the guest from the East caught the key point and guessed the truth in a very short time during this conversation.

"Yes, it was stolen."

"Very good." Yilin stood up: "now things are clear. You, clock tower, should have had an accident ten years ago. In fact, it's not difficult to guess. I was thinking about one thing when Milian mentioned that you excluded people like 'US'."

"Who does' we 'mean?"

"If you think about it carefully, you can guess. The only thing we have in common. Then next, another problem arises."

"That is -- what impact has the arrival of the tower of war brought to 'you'."

"It's just that some people are called to become apostles. Yes, this should be a high probability event, because it used to be a magician Association specializing in 'mystery'. Then the problem comes, becoming apostles is undoubtedly contrary to the purpose of 'pursuing knowledge'. Because apostles are a kind of directly acquiring a certain ability without asking the reason The existence of various skills. The skills of the apostles are more like magic than the 'magic' you study. "

"Obviously, in the eyes of a group of 'scholars' who study mystery,' Apostles' are quite different. Yo, millian, don't look at me like this. I read the emotion of 'exclamation' on your stupid hair. I don't know what happened ten years ago, but I can see that there are only a group of 'non Apostles' left in the clock tower, or all of you It's the 'rejected person'. "

"Moreover, for some reason, you can't easily step out of the clock tower. Hehe, I found a lot of footprints around the fork in the road, but most of them walked inward without outward footprints. Moreover, the footprints have been erased. I speculate that it may be that during this period, the clock tower was invaded and blocked by you."

"It's very likely that this is left by your 'peers'. In other words, you don't dare to go out at all. You must guard the base camp of the clock tower. It's more likely that the site of your clock tower is only here. The masters and magicians of the clock tower are trapped here. Right?"

"I guessed all the above. If there is anything wrong, be sure to point out."

Yilin stood up and looked at the young monarch sitting in a wheelchair with a smile across the long table.

Yilin spoke eloquently.

Millian was stunned.

She... Didn't understand.

Yilin said it in one breath. He spoke a little fast.

Across the long table,

One of the twelve monarchs, bathermero Dylan, was silent.

"Pa, PA, Pa."

After a moment of silence, bathermero Dylan raised his head again and clapped his hands.

"Wonderful."
