Start a core cabin

The figure flashed past.

The slender figure rushed across the wall quickly, flying over the wall like a master of Qinggong, rushing towards Duanmu Huai, and at the same time punched Duanmu Huai in the back of the heart. However, Duanmu Huai roared angrily, and then stepped hard on the ground with his right foot. Violent shock waves suddenly erupted with him as the center. Then, amid the wails, several figures flew out and fell heavily to the ground. .

"Okay, that's it."

Duanmuhuai stood up and spoke, but in front of him, dozens of young men and women were lying on the ground, moaning incessantly. However, they still stood up despite the pain and bowed respectfully to Duanmuhuai.

"If you have nothing to do, get out of class and remember the key points I taught you."

Duanmu Huai moved his body and spoke, and the young magicians in front of him also lowered their heads again.

"is teacher."

Then they turned and left.

"Huh... I didn't expect it to be quite interesting."

Duanmuhuai moved his body and looked out the window. It was already early spring, and the branches outside had grown new leaves.

Almost a year had passed since they arrived at the Clock Tower.

It has been a turbulent year for both Duanmuhuai and Clock Tower.

First of all, there was Medea's teaching in the Clock Tower, which not only attracted the attention of the families in the Clock Tower, but even those magic families who were not interested in the Clock Tower were eager to join. Although the Clock Tower was not without magicians such as Demon Marshal Zelrich and Mihara Seqing in the past, these people were all divine dragons who never came to an end, and it was more difficult for ordinary magicians to get their guidance than to climb to the sky.

But Medea showed up in the classroom on time every day to teach. To put it simply, as long as you work hard, you can listen to the teachings of the magician of the Gods.

What could be more impressive to a magician than this?

Because of this, the power of the Clock Tower has also greatly expanded, and the Clock Tower, which has benefited, naturally turns a blind eye to what El-Melloi, Duanmuhuai and his group are doing. ——It can even be said that even if Duanmu Huai wants to dig up the clock tower, as long as he gives a reasonable explanation, they will not be unable to agree.

So you see, the bustling world is all for profit, isn’t that the truth?

Medea's teaching also profoundly changed the magic environment of the Clock Tower.

The most obvious point is the magician's attitude towards pursuing the source of the vortex.

As we all know, Medea was a magician from the age of the gods. The mystery at that time was not as barren as it is now. If Medea wanted to enter the Vortex of Roots, all she had to do was go through the door. But even so, most magicians in the Age of Gods actually didn't care much about this kind of thing, so why do modern magicians desperately search for the root cause?

Yes, this is also Medea's question. She can't understand the meaning of modern magicians searching for the roots. In fact, the magicians of the Age of Gods did not learn magic for the purpose of the root vortex, but for use. The reason why Medea learns magic is very simple. She is the princess of Korsky and she wants to protect the country. It happens that Medea has a very rare magic talent. It happens that she also has an aunt who is a magician. It’s really nothing if you don’t learn, isn’t it?

As for the root vortex and the truth of the world, Medea has never thought about it. To think about these, she might as well hope for a prince charming to marry her.

This kind of thing is actually very common in Faerun. If we use Faerun as an example, almost every magician in this world dreams of becoming the second godly Karsus——In Faerun People like this are considered mentally ill in the world.

After all, no one who entered the Vortex of Roots came back alive. Whether it was Zelrich or Aozaki Aoko, they just wandered around the door and decided not to go in because they felt it was too dangerous... Well, that's when It's what normal people think. Only crazy people want to take the initiative to enter the subspace and send it.

So it was very embarrassing.

Because the Clock Tower has always nicknamed those magicians who do not study magic and do not pursue the Vortex of Roots as magicians. This is a contemptuous term, mocking them for not knowing how to use magic to study the world, but only knowing how to use magic. to achieve the purpose.

Well, the result is good. According to Medea, all magicians in the Age of Gods are equal to magicians.

Because of this, after learning from Medea about the situation of magicians in the Age of Gods, some magician families began to consider whether they should continue to pursue the source of the vortex. After all, simply studying magic and going deep into the vortex of its roots are two different directions. Opening the door to the source is certainly a good goal, but many magician families cannot do this...

Therefore, many magician families have begun to think about whether their ideas are correct and whether there is value in continuing to persist.

After all, even the magicians of the Age of Gods said that they had never considered entering the Vortex of Roots. Even they did not dare to enter. Wouldn't it be a gift to go in by yourself?

What's more, it's not the age of the gods where mysterious species are crawling all over the earth.

In fact, this can be regarded as some small changes that Duanmu Huai instructed Medea to make. After all, there are so many magician families, and he doesn't want any idiot blind cat to open the subspace gate to death, which will be really difficult to deal with. Using this method to reduce the number of magician families pursuing the source of the vortex can be regarded as a way to defeat others without fighting.

If other magicians dare to say that there is nothing to enter the Vortex of Roots, you might as well consider something more practical, and you would have been kicked out by the famous family of the Clock Tower. But of course they didn't dare to do this to Medea. On the one hand, the world of magicians has always been proud of its antiquity, and Medea's existence was older than all these famous magic families combined. In addition, she herself With the strength of a divine magician and the benefits she brought to the Clock Tower, only a fool would be stupid enough to find trouble in front of Medea.

On the other hand, this is also a good idea for those families whose sunk costs are too high to give up. If a magician family gives up on pursuing the root cause, it means they have one less competitor, right?

By the way, Duanmu Huai really wanted to cause trouble for the Bartholomew family to scare the monkeys, but the other party was just like a tortoise with its head shrinking and would not show up. According to Lenis, the Bartholomew family did this to ensure their family's dignity in the clock tower. As long as they don't come forward, there will be no possibility of failure, and they will not lose face as nobles.

I have to say, this turtle is really speechless.

Of course, Duanmuhuai is not idle. He does not have a deep understanding of magic like Medea. However, after looking at the clock tower's class schedule, Duanmuhuai discovered that--hey, these magicians actually still Teach close combat!

Well, that's not bad.

Seeing this, Duanmu Huai immediately praised these magicians. Loyal close combat is the best way to fight against the enemy. The close combat skills learned by modern magicians are also a type of self-protection skills. Although these magicians are thin, when they open their magic circuits and strengthen their bodies, these magicians' physical fitness is much stronger than ordinary people.

Of course, they are still incomparable with heroic spirits, but in terms of pure numerical values, they are already at the level of mid-level adventurers in Faerûn, that is, they can compete with mountain giants in close combat.

That would be easy. Duanmu Huai decisively found the clock tower and expressed that he wanted to teach melee combat courses. Clock Tower naturally did not dare to neglect this monarch, not to mention that this subject itself was only an auxiliary and not exclusive to any family, so Duanmu Huai easily got the teaching position of this subject.

This shows that no matter where in the world, physical education teachers are not taken seriously.

Professor Duanmuhuai's close combat courses were also very popular among students. At the beginning, many students were persuaded to withdraw, but those who were able to stay were considered to be perseverant. And to be honest, learning close combat skills for magicians in this world is really not just about physical exercise. In the clock tower and even in the circle of magicians, assassinations, conspiracies, and betrayals are everywhere. If you can be awesome in close combat, you can If you strike first before the other party launches magic, you will definitely have more chance of winning and more vitality.

Not to mention that there are some magicians whose magic is animalistic magic that turns themselves into beasts. They themselves pay great attention to practical combat, so naturally they need more training and learning.

After more than a year of teaching, Medea and Duanmu Huai have become well-known in the Clock Tower. Needless to say, Medea and Duanmu Huai are not easy to deal with... I want to find him this year. The troublesome one was directly pressed to the ground and rubbed by Duanmu Huai, so that everyone knew that neither of the El-Melloi family was easy to get along with.

But Duanmuhuai is still quite popular...well, although not as popular as Medea.

Back in his office, Duanmuhuai sat down on the chair, and Matthew hurriedly handed over a cup of tea.

"Tea please, MASTER."

"Well, thank you, Matthew."

Duanmuhuai nodded to Ma Xiu. Ma Xiu has also begun to adapt to this era. She is now accompanying Duanmu Huai as a disciple. By the way, Xiaoying is also getting along well with Lenis. They feel like biological sisters. Under the guidance of Lenis, Sakura, who was originally a little gloomy, gradually became much more lively.

By the way, she still exercises with Lorena every day. Duanmuhuai can often see the two of them running along the Thames River... Well... Forget it, that's fine.

It's always good to exercise more.

"Dong dong dong."

At this moment, there was a knock on the door. Duanmu Huai turned around, put down the tea cup in his hand, and nodded to Matthew, who walked to the door and opened the door.

"Ah, Matthew, I'm sorry for interrupting you during your busy schedule. Is your Majesty here?"

"Here, please come in, Miss Fiore."

As he spoke, Ma Xiu opened the door, and then Duanmuhuai saw a girl sitting in a wheelchair with long brown hair, a delicate face, and a clear and soft voice appearing in front of him.

"Fiore, what do you want from me?"

Looking at the girl in front of him, Duanmu Huai raised his eyebrows, while the latter lowered her head with some apology.

"I'm so sorry, Your Majesty...we...have had some problems."

"oh?"

Hearing this, Duanmu Huai narrowed his eyes.

During this year, the reputation of Duanmu Huai and the Tribunal was very loud among the students in the Clock Tower. On the one hand, it was due to his own strength, and on the other hand, the El-Melloi family's policy of action had changed. He generously funded the research of many magicians, not because he wanted to reach the source, but because Medea commented that it was interesting.

To put it simply, as long as a magician comes to Medea with his family's secret technique, if Medea thinks the secret technique is interesting, the El-Melloi family will provide a certain amount of funding. This can be regarded as a kind of buying and selling favors - of course, this is just to cover up Duanmuhuai's true purpose. After all, the Animusfia family's "Chaldea" plan is one of them. If Duanmuhuai directly If you choose the Chaldean Plan, then those old foxes will definitely find it out. If the Chaldean Plan is one of Duanmuhuai's investment in secret research, it will not be very eye-catching.

So you see, trees still have to hide in the woods, right?

Of course, this is also because Duanmu Huai has enough money and enough squandering, otherwise he would not be able to pull off this plan.

Interestingly enough, Fiore's Fulvig family was originally affiliated with Thousand World Tree - the Eastern European magic organization that, like Aozaki Yuko, once visited the Einzbern family in the name of making dolls. Originally, the Thousand World Tree tried to break away from the Magic Association and work alone, but after the news of Medea came, all the magician families in Eastern Europe were attracted by the news that the Clock Tower had a heroic spirit, and the Thousand World Tree also ended without any problems.

Fiore, as the patriarch of the Fulvig family, also came to the clock tower, hoping to get Medea's help.

Fiore's qualifications as a magician are first-rate, but this has also become the source of her pain. Her magic circuits are located in her legs and have mutated, which also makes Fiore unable to walk and can only rely on a wheelchair to move around. To walk, Fiore must give up her identity as a magician and become an ordinary person. This was unacceptable to her anyway, so after learning of Medea's existence, Fiore came to the clock tower, hoping that Medea could help her.

With Medea's method, it is not difficult to heal Fiore's legs, and Duanmuhuai also made a request, hoping that the Fulvig family would become a vassal of El-Melloi. In response to this, Fiore Lei also nodded in agreement.

The reason why she is now in a wheelchair is simply because she is not completely used to walking yet.

"What went wrong?"

Duanmuhuai remembers clearly that after Medea's treatment was completed, she promised Duanmuhuai that she would immediately move the Fulwigi family here. Of course, that said, in fact, the Fulwigi family itself did not Several people. Looks like things have changed now?

"Yes, there seems to be something wrong with the spiritual veins we purchased."

If a magician wants to move, he naturally has to choose the spiritual vein as the location of his workshop. The same goes for the Fulvig family. Fiore purchased a piece of spiritual land with low qualifications and not very eye-catching through the clock tower, and then moved the family there.

As a result, Fiore discovered that there seemed to be something unusual about that piece of land.

After careful study, she found that she could not solve the problem, so she came to the Clock Tower to ask Duanmuhuai and Medea for advice.

"Oh? What's the specific situation?"

"this……………"

Facing Duanmuhuai's inquiry, Fiore paused.

"The residents there... don't seem to be normal."
