Infinity Throne

Inside the castle.

The city wall is cracked and the pavilions are mottled. Under the tree in front of the flowers, a short-haired blond girl is sweating. She is holding an unbladed knight's blunt sword and slashing in front of her meticulously.

Split, tease, chop, lift, cross, stab, block.

She practiced the most basic movements over and over again. The heavy sword made of pure iron seemed to be an unbearable burden for her at a young age. She had gauze wrapped around her fingers, and there was a lot of blood on the gauze. Her young and delicate skin could not withstand the severe friction when swinging the sword, so it was worn out. Moreover, her wrist holding the sword was red and swollen. Every time she swung the heavy sword, the girl's arms trembled slightly due to pain and exhaustion.

The girl didn't know that her every move was under the watchful eyes of "Uncle GM" and "Aunt War Knight", so she gritted her teeth and practiced for two hours with sweat dripping.

Yi Lin pops up the barrier, and in the eyes of outsiders, the two of them are almost "invisible".

"Have you always practiced like this before?" Yi Lin pointed at the silly girl in the castle courtyard strangely. It was obviously not possible to practice like this.

It would be good if you don’t destroy people through training.

"Is there a problem?" Miriam asked with a serious face, but after a moment, her face became a little more frustrated. Obviously now, she could see that there were big problems with the way she practiced swordsmanship when she was young, not only in terms of efficiency, but also in efficiency. It's low, and it's easy to get hurt all over. Miriam nodded helplessly: "Yes."

Yi Lin's lips twitched: "Quite honest."

Miriam: "Rin, I don't think you are complimenting me."

"You can think so."

Yi Lin smiled.

When the two men and women were bickering in the barrier, an old butler came from the corridor holding a delicate tray with clean handkerchiefs neatly folded and a glass in a goblet. of clear water.

"Master Pendragon, it's time to rest."

"OK."

The heavy sword was unable to escape and hit the courtyard, creating a thick cloud of dust. The girl picked up a clean handkerchief with her gauze-covered hand and wiped the sweat from her face: "I'll practice for a while longer."

"Okay, Master Pendragon."

"Let's talk about it after dinner."

"Okay, Master, I'll prepare dinner for you."

After the old housekeeper left respectfully, the girl picked up the heavy sword from the ground and began to swing the sword meticulously again.

…

"Why did he call you Master?"

Yi Lin asked curiously.

Miriam did not hide anything: "In the history of the Pendragon family, only men can inherit the title and family property. However, my parents died young and did not have time to give birth to a son for the Pendragon family. Therefore, I have been He was raised as Pendragon’s descendant.”

"Just to get back the 'lost ideal land'?"

"yes."

Yi Lin touched her chin: "Actually, I have an idea."

"?"

"Could it be that your parents left too early and didn't have time to tell you that in fact, there is more than this way to regain your family's lost treasures? For example... buying them with money? Oh, don't mind, I just think that in In a normal society, money-making ability is the most unpretentious skill." Yi Lin casually said an easier way.

Miriam was stunned, her brows were furrowed, her eyes were red and aggrieved, as if she was holding back tears.

After holding it in for a while, Mirien still didn't cry. She was strong and patient.

Fortunately you didn't cry, otherwise I should have wondered if there was something wrong with me.

Yi Lin thought in her mind and changed the subject: "Anyway, your family's glory is also found... ahem, and kept properly. Don't mention the past. But I am very curious. If you practice like this, can you really practice it for ten years? The next you?"

Miriam closed her eyes and recalled the past. After a while, she opened her eyes and nodded: "I remember when I was a child, a 'teacher' wearing a mask suddenly appeared and taught me how to swordsmanship. Since then, my Swordsmanship has improved by leaps and bounds..."

Halfway through, Miriam looked shocked. She subconsciously touched the "token" on her face and looked at the cook with incredible eyes: "Teacher, she has beautiful long golden hair and wears a pair of black... mask……"

Yi Lin suddenly realized: "It turns out that it was you who taught yourself."

Miriam shook her head vigorously. She still couldn't believe this terrible fact: "This is impossible!"

"Nothing is impossible." Yi Lin's eyes flickered and she pushed Mirien behind her: "Go, 'Teacher'."

Mirien was pushed out of the barrier.

She was helpless to face her former youthful self.

Little Mirion was wary of the sudden appearance of her big sister: "Who are you?"

Memories of her youth came to her mind, and Great Mirien sighed softly:

"Your sword is wrong."

When Xiao Mirian heard this, she was stunned for a moment, then stubbornly shook her head: "It's impossible."

Great Mirien easily snatched the blunt-edged heavy sword and stood in front of her with a heavy weight.

"Let me teach you...the way to victory."

[See Chapter 741 for details: Lend me your Holy Grail. 】

…

Yi Lin witnessed the meeting of two Miriens from different time and space with her own eyes, and many thoughts flashed through her mind.

"Since the 'effect' already exists, there must be a 'cause' that leads to the birth of this 'effect'. Ha... After eliminating all 'impossibility', the remaining one, no matter how outrageous or incredible, it Will that be the correct answer..."

"No wonder the scene of little Mirien practicing her sword seems vaguely familiar to me."

"This is the biggest mystery left behind by Xiao Xi."

Yi Lin raised her head, looked at the sky, and murmured to herself: "This is a 'closed loop', right? My goddess."

…

Far away in Qingcheng.

Xiao Xi, who was drinking milk, smiled slightly.

She seemed to hear Yi Lin's questions and the helplessness in Yi Lin's words across thousands of mountains and rivers.

"Yeah, "10". "

Xiaoxi closed her eyes.

…

Miriam stayed in the castle.

No, to be precise, it should be a return.

This is both her home and not her home.

After secretly bidding farewell to Mirien, Yilin left here under the latter's reluctant eyes.

"Where should we go?"

After vaguely trying to figure out the truth about the "closed loop", Yi Lin didn't want to go back to see Xiao Xi. He needed some peace and quiet.

This is a closed loop.

The world is a closed loop.

Unknowingly, Yi Lin came to the outskirts of London.

At this time, London was still a prosperous city, with domed retro buildings and skyscrapers standing side by side. The sharp contrast between modern and retro styles gave people a strong visual impact. Yi Lin stood on the hands of Big Ben and looked down at the city, inexplicably feeling that this perspective looked familiar.

Looking back, Yi Lin burst into laughter. He had bombed similar buildings in Gotham City back then. No wonder he missed this place so much.

Under the seemingly peaceful modern city, there is an undercurrent.

In his field of vision, the apostles in the Tower of War server were like glowing dots on the map, bright and eye-catching.

"not enough."

Yi Lin shook his head. He had no nostalgia, let alone blew up Big Ben so frantically. He came to the outskirts of London.

This is one of the three holy places of the Magician Association, the headquarters of the Clock Tower.

Beside the turnoff into the Clock Tower, there is a rusty road sign with a sentence written on it - [Eternal Junction Line].

There is also a line of small words below that you need to get closer to see clearly: Inherit mystery as knowledge forever.

Returning to her old place made Yi Lin sigh with joy. He recalled his experience of further training in the Clock Tower and was ready to go in for a walk.

He had read a lot of magic books back then, and although he had already mastered them now, there might be some unique books that had not been lost in the clock tower ten years ago, so it would be a good idea to go in and take a look. Regarding unfamiliar "knowledge", Yi Lin has always maintained an attitude of "don't refuse anyone who comes."

After taking a few steps and preparing to skillfully sneak into the clock tower, he suddenly turned back and returned the way he came.

I saw Yi Lin gently rubbing the handwriting on the road sign with her fingers, saying to herself: "This seems to be the handwriting left by the founder of the Clock Tower, a disciple of King Solomon. King Solomon... Connor D. Solomon?" Rin thought for a moment, then moved her finger away and entered the clock tower.

Whether he is an administrator or a great magician, his various identities mean that his strength far exceeds that of any king in the tower. He quickly analyzed the hidden barrier of the clock tower and entered the library without alerting anyone.

Sure enough, there were many books inside that had been lost ten years later and were still kept in the clock tower. Yi Lin sat at the top of the spiral staircase, legs crossed, holding a stack of ancient books openly, absorbing knowledge with relish.

The magic system seems a bit backward to Yi Lin now, but some of the spells, the manufacturing methods of magic rituals, and some of the taboo rituals that can be recorded have brought some inspiration to Yi Lin. He took the essence and discarded the dross, and wrote part of the essence into "codes" to fill the void in the "Infinite Throne".

I stayed in the Clock Tower for half a year.

In the past six months, Yi Lin carefully sorted out the magic system of the Clock Tower. He even secretly learned how to create an "artificial magic eye". The novel knowledge brought Yi Lin long-lost happiness.

"Most of the books of the Magician's Association during this period are relatively well preserved. Among the three major associations, Clock Tower's philosophy is biased towards 'innovation', Hesitant Sea focuses on 'human body modification' and strives to restore 'magic of the gods'. As for Atlas, The academy is the gathering place for 'alchemists'."

Yi Lin closed a book called "Simple Application of Displacement Magic". The author is a descendant of the Darius family. He thought that he was a little tired of staying here and was going to change places to walk around and relax.

"Wandering Sea, Atlas Academy...well, let's just go and have a look."
