Chapter 785 Time Flies

As the saying goes, a man should be looked at with new eyes after three days of absence.

But Duanmu Huai really looked at him with new eyes.

He remembered that Weber was a young man who was less than 20 years old at the time, and now he looked like a social animal...

"What did you ask him to do?"

Duanmu Huai looked at the man in front of him carefully. To be honest, no matter how he looked at him, he didn't match the one in his memory at all.

"I remember this guy was a dwarf at the time. Now he is so tall? Did he take hormones or have plastic surgery?"

"I didn't have plastic surgery, Judge..."

Hearing Duanmu Huai's ridicule, Weber also stood up and looked at him with a helpless expression.

"I just...ah, after all these years, I have become like this."

"Tsk tsk tsk, look at the life you live. If you shave your head and go out on the street, people will feel like you have just been released from prison. Isn't it hard to be a monarch?"

"Ah..."

Hearing Duanmu Huai's question, Waver really sighed... Life was really hard. Although the El-Melloi family had the support of the Inquisition, they did not owe any money, and they also supported other magicians everywhere. In addition, the classroom opened by Medea brought a lot of connections to the El-Melloi family. In addition, the strength of Lanis, Sakura and Fiore has blossomed, which can be regarded as a considerable support for the El-Melloi family.

But at the same time, delicious food will attract flies. In fact, there are many people in the clock tower who covet the wealth and power of the El-Melloi family. In the past, when Duanmu Huai was there, these people could only shrink. But after the Inquisition left, these people began to do things secretly. Transferring the El-Melloi family from the archaeology department to the modern magic department was part of their test.

In addition, many families also proposed marriages with Lanis, Sakura, and Fiore. After all, Sakura has a very rare imaginary attribute, and she is also the disciple of Medea. Most magician families naturally hope to allow this bloodline to join their families. And Fiore's ability in necromancy and ergonomics is comparable to that of a first-level lecturer, which also makes many families jealous.

If Duanmu Huai was here, he could just say "get out" to solve the problem, but Weber, El-Melloi II, didn't have this ability, not to mention that the families eyeing El-Melloi were not those middle and lower-level families, but the families of the twelve monarchs, which would be a bigger problem.

So he had to deal with those old foxes, and the wrinkles between his eyebrows became more and more.

Not only that, there was actually a force within the El-Melloi faction that opposed him.

When the Tribunal arrived, Medea once gave public lectures, and because of this, there has always been a voice within the El-Melloi faction that believes that the magic of the Age of Gods is the most awesome. After El-Melloi II took over, he was driven to the Modern Magic Department, which made them think it was a shame.

Originally, magicians were a kind of existence that pursued the past. At the beginning, because of the existence of Medea, many people in the El-Melloi family felt that this made the El-Melloi family more noble. Although there is no actual benefit, at least it can be said to be proud. Just like the title of honor bestowed by the queen, even if it is a viscount, it is not separated from the status of ordinary people?

After being driven to the Modern Magic Department, for this group of people, it was a sudden change from a high noble to a lowly groom, so they vented their anger on El-Melloi II, thinking that it was his lack of effort that led to this result.

Although with the support of Lanis and the consent of Duanmu Huai, they could not drive El-Melloi II off the stage, but causing him some trouble was enough to make the unlucky guy more stressed.

Another point is that, under Duanmu Huai's suggestion, the El-Melloi family sponsored the research of many magicians, some of whom achieved results, while others simply failed and could not come to El-Melloi for help. As a monarch, El-Melloi II could only bite the bullet.

Although he himself was not strong, he was quite talented in this aspect. After several times, the Clock Tower also knew that El-Melloi II was a person who was good at solving problems in magic, so they would come to him for any trouble.

This unlucky guy certainly didn't want to go, but he had to go anyway. Duanmu Huai brought Medea and made contributions to the Clock Tower, which confirmed his status as a monarch. El-Melloi II did not have the strength of Duanmu Huai, and could only help by solving such problems to improve the status of the El-Melloi family.

Fortunately, there were Lanis, Sakura and Fiore, who helped him a lot - after all, he was really bad in terms of combat effectiveness.

Take this Holy Grail War for example, he originally wanted to participate, but because of some personal matters, he had to give up in the end.

Now that Duanmu Huai is back, El-Melloi II can be considered relieved. This way, the burden on him can be lifted…

“But it seems that since you have done a good job, then keep working hard.”

However, Duanmu Huai’s next sentence directly sent El-Melloi II from the paradise of liberation to hell. He stared at Duanmu Huai with wide eyes, just like an office worker who can go home and enjoy the holiday immediately after overtime work, and suddenly heard his boss say that the vacation was cancelled.

Oh, and there is no overtime pay.

It is pure unpaid overtime.

“Is there a problem?”

Duanmu Huai glanced at El-Melloi II, who was silent for a moment.

"Aren't you going to come back and inherit the throne?"

"Currently, I haven't finished what I should do, but I brought the manpower of the Tribunal this time."

As Duanmuhuai spoke, he looked at An, Gu Leiya and others beside him.

"They will stay here temporarily, and An will make the next decision on my behalf. An, you understand what I mean. The El-Melloi family has joined the Tribunal, and you need to ensure who can participate."

"Understood, Mr. Knight, leave this to me."

An nodded and looked confidently at Lenis and others in front of her. Although she would face the monarch of the Clock Tower next, to An, who was the princess of Manalia, she was nothing more than a noble. It's just a level. Of course, the reason why Duanmuhuai did this was because this timeline was getting closer and closer to Chaldea's timeline.

The current Chaldea is out of the original timeline, so it has escaped the incineration of humanity. This also means that Chaldea can also change in the future. It can even be said that what Duanmu Huai needs to do next is to complete the construction work of Chaldea as soon as possible, recruit staff, and then let Olga Marie be the director. ————As long as these conditions are met, then the next moment under Caleb will be like a fish being hung up, "colluding" with the past, and then forming a new and complete timeline.

In other words, when Chaldea can return to the normal timeline depends entirely on when this past Chaldea is completed.

Once Chaldea is completed at this point in time and Olga Marie becomes the director, then the timeline will immediately shift to——recruiting experimenters——the start of the spirit son shuttle experiment——the explosion of the experiment leads to the death of Chaldea The bottom was destroyed, Duanmu Huai and others went to the singular point F——and became isolated from the world after returning.

In this way, cause and effect are all connected. If it's fast, it shouldn't take more than 1 year.

But there's still a problem.

That's the man behind it.

Only by solving it can future Chaldea avoid the burning of humanity and the destruction of the world.

"Remember, the Clock Tower is just like that. Those monarchs will not be your opponents. With the help of Gulea and Feline, the El-Melloi family's strength in the Clock Tower is absolute. You can fight for the rest. Let’s discuss it with Lenis, but as for the specific method, you must follow my requirements. Regarding Chaldea’s issue, you can talk to Mashu..."

An is a magic genius after all, so Duanmu Huai gave her instructions before, requiring her to build the entire Chaldea exactly like the future. This is like building blocks. Every part must fit before it can be inserted and connected. together. Once something is wrong, the past and future will no longer be connected.

"I understand, Mr. Knight, just leave it to me."

"Then leave it to you."

Faced with An's confident answer, Duanmu Huai only nodded. After all... An was the only one who was good at magic and understood politics, and understood the style of the Tribunal.

As for Duanmu Huai... After saying goodbye to An and others, he got in touch with Dr. Luo Man again through Ma Xiu.

However, the situation at the last singular point was really beyond Duanmu Huai's expectation.

"You mean... the future?"

"That's right."

Dr. Roman's expression was very solemn and he nodded vigorously.

"This time, the singularity detected by Chaldea is not in the past, but in the future, and it is a future that is almost isolated from magic."

"What does it mean to be almost isolated from magic?"

"To put it simply, there seems to be no magic at all in that world. Our Chaldean soul transfer has always required magic to obtain data for location transmission. But that future seems to have no enough souls to supply us... To put it simply, we cannot reach that future through spiritual transfer. Judging from current observations, it seems to be closer to a technologically advanced world. "

"So what you mean is..."

Hearing this, Duanmuhuai frowned, and Roman nodded.

"Yes, the other party has obviously noticed what we are doing. From the current point of view, he seems to have judged that magic alone can no longer stop us, so he chose the future - the past is fixed, while the future is vague It’s uncertain, but judging from what the other party does, it seems that he intends to affect the past by fixing one of the futures!”

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, this timeline is really messed up."

Duanmuhuai also shook his head helplessly. Doctor Roman's meaning was very clear. When the other party found that they could not defeat them in the past, they ran to the future and tried to create a fixed future where magic could not be used. Once such a future was determined, then what would happen? The biggest crisis.

"Spirit transfer cannot be realized, which means that the future magician is almost useless, right?"

"...Yes, I'm sorry, we can't find a way to get to that singularity at the moment."

"It doesn't matter, let me figure it out."

Duanmuhuai thought for a moment and nodded. Then he closed his eyes and quickly connected to Audrey in the trial court through telepathic communication.

"Audrey, are you there?"

"Here, Master, what are your orders?"

Even separated by time and space, the connection between the soul card and the holder will not be cut off.

"Go find Lumière."

Duanmuhuai silently gave orders to Audrey.

"I need her help with something."
