Chapter 760 Clock Tower

The figure flashed past.

The slender figure rushed past 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 is over. Remember the key points I taught you."

Duanmu Huai moved his body and spoke, while 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’s been a rough 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 Age of 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, having benefited, naturally turned a blind eye to the actions of El-Melloi, Duanmuhuai and his group. ——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 hustle and bustle in the 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 one 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 their 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 this is very embarrassing.

Because the Clock Tower has always nicknamed those magicians who do not study magic and do not pursue the Vortex of Origin 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 previous 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 any 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 if they entered by themselves?

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 to blindly open the subspace gate. That would 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 dared to say that there was nothing good about the Origin Vortex, they might as well consider something more practical, and they would have been kicked out by the famous families 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 antiquity, and Medea's existence is older than those magic families combined. In addition, she herself has the strength of a magician of the Age of Gods, and the benefits she brought to the Clock Tower. Only a fool would be stupid enough to cause trouble in front of Medea.

On the other hand, for those families whose sunk costs are too high to give up, this is also a good way. If a magician family gives up the pursuit of the origin, it means that they have one less competitor, right?

By the way, Duanmu Huai really wanted to make trouble for the Bartmero family to kill the chicken to scare the monkey, but the other party really refused to show up like a turtle. According to Lanis, the Bartmero family did this to ensure the dignity of their family in the Clock Tower. As long as they don't show up, there will be no possibility of failure, and they won't lose face as nobles.

I have to say, this coward is really speechless.

Duanmu Huai is certainly not idle. He doesn't have a deep understanding of magic like Medea, but after looking through the clock tower's class schedule, Duanmu Huai found out that this group of magicians actually taught close combat!

Well, that's good.

Seeing this, Duanmu Huai immediately gave a thumbs up to these magicians. Loyal close combat is the best means of fighting the enemy. And modern magicians learning close combat skills is also a kind of self-defense. Don't look at these magicians' thin physique, but when they open the magic circuit and strengthen their bodies, these magicians' physical fitness is much stronger than ordinary people.

Of course, they can't compare with the heroic spirits, but in terms of pure values, they are already at the level of middle-level adventurers in the Faerun continent, that is, the kind that can compete with mountain giants in close combat.

That's easy. Duanmu Huai decisively found the clock tower and expressed his desire to teach close combat courses. The Clock Tower naturally dared not neglect this monarch, not to mention that this subject itself is only auxiliary and not exclusive to any family, so Duanmu Huai easily got the teaching position of this subject.

This shows that no matter what world it is, physical education teachers are not valued.

Professor Duanmu Huai's close combat course is also very popular among students. At the beginning, many students were persuaded to leave, but those who were able to stay were all determined. And to be honest, the magicians in this world learn close combat skills not just to exercise their bodies. In the Clock Tower and even in the magician circle, assassinations, conspiracies, and betrayals are everywhere. If you can be good at close combat and can take the initiative before the other party launches magic, then you will definitely have more chances of winning and survival.

Not to mention that some magicians' magic is animal magic that transforms themselves into beasts, which itself focuses on actual combat, so naturally they need more training and learning.

After more than a year of teaching, Medea and Duanmu Huai, one of them is good at literature and the other is good at martial arts, and they are completely famous in the clock tower. Medea is not to be mentioned, and Duanmu Huai is not a pushover either... Anyone who wanted to cause trouble for him this year was directly pressed to the ground by Duanmu Huai, so that everyone knows that these two people from the El-Melloi family are not easy to deal with.

However, Duanmu Huai is still quite popular... well, although not as popular as Medea.

Back to his office, Duanmu Huai sat down on a chair, and Mashu hurriedly handed him a cup of tea.

"Please have tea, MASTER."

"Well, thank you, Mashu."

Duanmu Huai nodded to Mashu, and Mashu has begun to adapt to this era. She is now accompanying Duanmu Huai as his disciple. By the way, Sakura and Lenis are also getting along well now, and the two feel like sisters. And under the leadership of Lenis, Sakura, who was originally a little gloomy, has gradually become much more lively.

By the way, she still exercises with Lorena every day, and Duanmu Huai can often see the two of them running along the Thames... Well... Forget it, it's good this way.

It's always good to exercise more.

"Knock, knock."

Just then, there was a knock on the door. Duanmu Huai turned around, put down the teacup in his hand, nodded to Mashu, who walked to the door and opened it.

"Ah, Mashu, I'm sorry to bother you during your busy schedule. Is your Majesty here?"

"Yes, please come in, Miss Fiore."

As she spoke, Mashu opened the door, and then Duanmu Huai saw a girl sitting in a wheelchair with long brown hair, a pretty face, and a clear and soft voice appear in front of him.

"Fiore, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Looking at the girl in front of him, Duanmu Huai raised his eyebrows, and the latter lowered his head with a bit of apology.

"I'm very sorry, your Majesty... We... have some problems."

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Duanmu Huai narrowed his eyes.

During this year, Duanmu Huai and the Inquisition became very famous among the students of the Clock Tower. On the one hand, it was because of his own strength, and on the other hand, the El-Melloi family's approach had changed. They generously funded the research of many magicians, not to get to the root of the problem, but because they were regarded by Medea as interesting.

In simple terms, as long as a magician brings his family's secrets to Medea, if Medea thinks this secret is interesting, the El-Melloi family will provide a certain amount of funding. This is more or less a kind of favor---Of course, this is just to cover up Duanmu Huai's real purpose. After all, the "Chaldea" plan of the Animusphia family is one of them. If Duanmu Huai directly chooses the Chaldea plan, then those old foxes will definitely find it. If the Chaldea plan is one of the secret research invested by Duanmu Huai, it will not be very noticeable.

So you see, the tree still has to be hidden in the woods, right?

Of course, this is also because Duanmu Huai has enough money to spend, otherwise he can't play this strategy.

It's interesting to say that the Fulvegi family where Fiore is originally affiliated with the Thousand World Tree---the Eastern European magic organization that once visited the Einzbern family in the name of making dolls like Aozaki Orange. Originally, the Thousand World Tree tried to leave the Magic Association and work alone, but after the news of Medea came, the magician families in Eastern Europe were attracted by the news that the Clock Tower had a heroic spirit, and the Thousand World Tree died.

As the patriarch of the Fulvegi family, Fiore also came to the Clock Tower, hoping to get help from Medea.

Fiore's qualifications as a magician are first-class, but this has also become the source of her pain. Her magic circuits are located in her legs and have mutated, which makes Fiore unable to walk and can only rely on a wheelchair to move. In order to walk, Fiore must abandon her identity as a magician and become an ordinary person. This made her unacceptable in any way, so after learning about the existence of Medea, Fiore came to the Clock Tower, hoping that Medea could help her.

With Medea's method, it is not difficult to cure Fiore's legs, and Duanmu Huai also made a request, hoping that the Fulvegi family would become a vassal of El Mello, and Fiore nodded and agreed.

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

"What's the problem?"

Duanmu Huai remembered very clearly that when Medea's treatment was completed, she promised Duanmu Huai that she would immediately move the Fulvegi family here. Of course, that being said, there were actually not many people in the Fulvegi family. Does it seem that the situation has changed now?

"Yes, the spiritual vein we purchased...seems to have a problem."

If a magician wants to move, he naturally has to choose a spiritual vein as the location of the workshop. The same is true for the Fulvegi family. Fiore acquired a piece of inferior spiritual vein land through the clock tower, which was not very eye-catching, and then moved the family there.

After that, Fiore discovered that the land seemed a little abnormal.

After careful research, she found that she could not solve this problem, so she came to the clock tower to ask Duanmu Huai and Medea for advice.

"Oh? What is the specific situation?"

"This......"

Faced with Duanmu Huai's question, Fiore paused.

"The residents there...seem to be a little abnormal."
