Chapter 757: Crown Decision (Part 1)

Returning to his room, Duanmu Huai sighed and sat down on the sofa. The sofa, which was overwhelmed, groaned miserably, but Duanmu Huai didn't care about it. He just turned his head and looked at Medea who was sitting quietly next to him.

"I'm sorry, Medea, I used you as a bargaining chip again."

"No, Master, it's nothing."

Facing Duanmu Huai's apology, Medea smiled and shook her head.

"I know what Master thinks, and Master doesn't treat me as a prop, right? Otherwise, there's no need to discuss it with me."

"After all, I have to get her consent."

That's right, although Duanmu Huai used Medea as the last trump card, it was not his idea alone, but he asked Medea and asked for her consent before playing it. Although according to reason, the servant is just a familiar, if it is some ordinary magician, they may treat Medea as their own familiar, but for Duanmu Huai, since it is a cooperation, it is natural to make communication between the two parties more convenient.

"But then again, I don't know much about this, so it should be okay, right?"

"Yes, no problem!"

Faced with Duanmu Huai's curious question, Medea nodded vigorously.

The so-called teaching of magic does not mean teaching the magic of Medea's Age of Gods to the current magicians. The reason is very simple. The mystery of modern times has gradually faded. In Medea's time, fairies, dragons and other things were everywhere. But now, such things are already considered as Arabian Nights and rumors even for magicians.

So, it is naturally not feasible for Medea to make a contract with the gods and learn magic of the Age of Gods.

But the problem is not here.

Take Aozaki Orange for example. She is a crown magician, but one of the reasons why she was designated as a crown magician is that Aozaki Orange rebuilt the rune magic whose magic base has declined. Not only did she magically regenerate the rune text that had been lost a long time ago, but she also analyzed the original rune runes that had disappeared in the Age of Gods.

For a modern magician like Aozaki Touko, this is undoubtedly equivalent to an archaeological excavation, and it must have taken a lot of effort to get it done.

But for Medea, a magician from the Age of Gods, is this a big deal?

That's what she learned, okay!

That's right, in addition to the decline and weakening of mystery, the biggest problem with the decline of modern magic is the interruption of inheritance. Many things that were commonplace in the Medea period, modern magicians can only guess and guess at the remains. It's like you unearthed a bronze artifact from a site, and you still have to guess what it is used for and how to use it, and you may not be able to guess it right. But if you let people who lived in that era take a look, won't they tell you directly?

So letting Medea teach magic to magicians is actually more like letting the ancients give modern people a history lesson. For modern magicians, being able to find those interrupted inheritances is already a pleasant surprise, and they can forget about learning ancient magic.

Medea herself was also quite excited about this. She certainly knew that modern mysteries had declined, but because of this, studying how to create new magic in a world where mysteries declined seemed to be a very interesting thing for Medea.

By the way, although Medea said that she was not good at fighting, that was from the perspective of a historical hero. Modern magicians who wanted to deal with her would be taught a lesson by Medea in a few minutes.

"Then I'll leave it to you."

"Okay."

After saying this, Medea disappeared into the air, and Duanmu Huai stretched his back.

What a trouble...

To be honest, Duanmu Huai always hated this kind of boring political deal. He preferred to fight directly, simple and direct. In the final analysis, in this world, whoever has the bigger fist is the boss. The so-called political deal is only useful when both parties are equal in strength, but for Duanmu Huai, who can be equal to him in strength as a magician in this world?

Let alone the twelve monarchs, he would fight even the heroes.

However, it is a good thing to see how big the difference between the past and the future is.

After all, the reason why Duanmu Huai took on this task was to see how much difference and impact saving humanity from past history would have on the future. Now it seems that this is just right.

The next thing is naturally much simpler.

Duanmu Huai is not short of money. The property of the Tribunal is almost the entire universe. The gems he carries with him are enough to pay off the debts of the El-Melloi family. And Lenis also showed an ability beyond Duanmu Huai's expectations. She looks about the same age as Sakura on the surface, but she is very comfortable in such political disputes.

In the end, this lady also successfully obtained the inheritance of the El-Melloi family as Aozaki Orange said.

And after that, it was the most critical moment of life and death for the El-Melloi family.

Crown Resolution.

This is a resolution attended by the twelve monarchs of the Clock Tower, a meeting that determines the future fate and direction of the Clock Tower. And this time, the Crown Resolution was held for only one thing.

That is the issue of whether the El-Melloi family should stay or go.

Of course, although it was a meeting, the location for the Grand Decision was not some glamorous conference room, nor was it in the clock tower.

It is underground.

"I have heard of it before, but this is my first time here."

Led by the staff of the Magic Association, Lanis and Duanmu Huai came to a special building near the clock tower. According to Lanis, this department is called the Secret Corpse Anatomy Bureau, which is responsible for managing a huge corpse located underground in London.

This is not an ordinary corpse, but a dragon's corpse.

Although it is unknown how this corpse appeared, there are some legends about it in the clock tower. It is said that when the mystery is about to decline, the mysterious species at that time chose to return to the other side of the world. But this dragon did not choose to return. Instead, it hid itself in the earth, waiting for the day of return.

However, the decline of mystery exceeded the dragon's expectations. When it wanted to go back, the barrier between this world and the subspace had prevented it from returning to the other side. So the dragon had to choose another way, that is, to move forward to the underground where the mystery still remained.

As a result, digging and digging... digging and digging... just died.

The huge corpse of the dragon, which was as big as a mountain, was buried here and was later discovered by the magicians of the Clock Tower. In fact, there are rumors that the reason why the Clock Tower was built in London instead of being far away from the world like the Wandering Sea or Atlas Court is because of this dragon corpse. Yes, although it is a dead dragon corpse, the mystery and magic concentration inside it are still far beyond the modern times. It can even be said that the Clock Tower relied on the materials excavated from this dragon corpse to revitalize and become an organization that stands shoulder to shoulder with the Magic Association, Atlas Court and the Wandering Sea.

As the twelve monarchs of the Clock Tower, the place where they hold the crown resolution is in the heart of this dragon.

Duanmu Huai only wants to say... It's really idle and looking for trouble.

Dancing on other people's graves, right? Don't worry about anything going wrong.

According to Lanis, the Clock Tower is divided into three major factions.

Aristocratism headed by the current leader of the Clock Tower, the Bartmero family.

Democracy centered on the Tranberio family.

Neutralism represented by Mel Astia.

The distinction between these two factions comes from the problem of modern magic resources.

As we all know, with the advent of modern times, mystery has become increasingly declining, and magic resources have become increasingly scarce. Therefore, magicians have a dispute over how to move forward under such circumstances.

Aristocraticism believes that since resources are scarce, they should be given priority to families with a long history and tradition. As for those modern magicians, they should just die. They are not needed at all.

Democratism believes that because of the increase in magicians, many talented people have also joined. Therefore, those talented magicians should be assisted as much as possible so that they can contribute to the great cause of magicians.

Neutralism is basically a fence-sitter, watching the fight between the aristocracy and the democracy from the side. For neutralism, as long as research can be done, nothing else matters.

In fact, to put it bluntly, this is a problem of resource allocation.

To give an example, it is like a space battleship that has lost its way for some reason, and the resources inside are limited, so everyone starts to discuss whether to leave the resources to the captain and other senior members of the fleet who are in a high position but quite old. Or should we leave resources to the young and strong, but humble ordinary crew members?

Both sides have their own reasons.

The captain can command the warship forward and make decisions, but he is old. The young people still have a future. Although they are not prominent now, they may make different decisions.

No one knows whether the result is good or bad.

It is also possible that the captain is too stubborn about his own experience, causing a ship full of people to starve to death. It is also possible that the captain relies on his rich experience to find a planet suitable for survival.

By the same token, it is also possible that the young people are too naive, leading to the destruction of the warship. It is also possible that the young people rely on their youthful momentum to break through many obstacles and finally reach their destination.

So——the result determines the choice.

The same choice, if you make a good result, there will be a good explanation.

And a bad result, naturally, there is only a bad explanation.

It is understandable that both sides hold their own opinions, so humans will face choices, and the results of the choice are not something they can control.

By the way, Duanmu Huai wants to find the Animusphia family that created Chaldea, which belongs to the aristocratic faction.

By the way, El-Melloi also belongs to the aristocracy.

The scene flashed, and the next moment, Lanis and Duanmu Huai came to the depths of the ground. Looking down, they could see a building similar to an underground city, with people coming and going from time to time, and even many fantasy beasts that could not be seen on the ground could be seen walking around. To be honest, compared to the ground, this place is more like a place where magicians should be.

"Humph, there is nothing better to learn. Learning from the Gis people to make money from the dead will not end well."

It only took a moment to cross the gap and reach the ancient heart.

It was pitch black all around, and the walls looked like they were made of metal of unknown material.

"Woo... ..."

Lianis, who was walking in front, groaned, and then reached out to cover her eyes.

"What's wrong?"

Looking at the little girl beside him, Duanmu Huai asked.

"The concentration of magic here is too high, which is a burden on my eyes..."

As she spoke, Lenis took out eyedrops and dropped them into her eyes. Only then did Duanmuhuai realize that her eyes were not blue as usual, but sparkling red.

"Okay, sorry for keeping you waiting."

"It's okay, let's go."

Duanmuhuai and Lenis moved forward again, following the biomass passage in front of them that looked like an alien spacecraft corridor to the room at the end.

And there, the participants were already gathered together.
