UK, London Airport.
Zhenyu supported Patchouli and slowly walked to the rest area.
Patchouli actually got airsick! Mayu was really speechless. Patchouli's body was really weaker than ordinary people. Because she insisted on not using magic to regulate her body, Patchouli frowned along the way and looked uncomfortable.
"Paqi, are you okay? Come on, have a drink of water first." Zhenyu asked worriedly.
"Well, it's okay. Although my physical fitness is not good, my recovery is still good." Patchouli waved her hand and said.
"Why not use magic? A simple treatment or conditioning magic will suffice." Zhen Yu asked strangely.
"Because I want to experience the feeling of 'airsickness', but what I said in the book is always not as deep as what I experienced in person. Huh, it is indeed quite uncomfortable." It seems that she has almost recovered, Patchouli said with a smile, "
It’s a rare experience. Sometimes I want to have sex.”
"Do you want to be willful once in a while..." Zhenyu murmured. Ever since he came to the Xingyue world, he had never been so willful. After all, he was originally an adult soul with a sound personality.
Zhen Yu has no so-called happy childhood experience. It feels like skipping childhood and adolescence and jumping directly to youth. The more you know, the more you understand, the more you understand the world of Xingyue. If you want to gain a foothold,
Strength is essential.
[My parents may feel regretful that even though I am considered a genius, I never seem to act coquettishly to them.]
Shaking his head to stop distracting thoughts, now is not the time to think about these things. There is still a trip to the Clock Tower next.
The two walked to the exit empty-handed. As for the luggage? The family members were responsible for it, not to mention that most of it was just for show, and the important ones were stored in the storage space of the Book of Wisdom.
Arriving at the exit, Zhenyu unexpectedly found the person picking up the plane. If he was not a member of the family, then the remaining people were either from the Clock Tower or from the Magic Family. The attitude of the lords of the Clock Tower is still ambiguous. These
Magic families are very cunning and won't show kindness so quickly, so it's the people from the Clock Tower.
To be honest, Zhenyu is still a little surprised. In Zhenyu's impression, the current person in charge of the Clock Tower should be in decline. He gave up his magic practice and turned to seeking ways to extend his life and engaging in intrigues. Why did he suddenly take care of him?
Is he, a "little guy", on board?
Probably seeing the two of them, Maya, the waiting person came forward, bowed respectfully, and asked, "Are you Mr. Asagami? The adults from the Magic Association asked me to pick you up."
There is no magic fluctuation in his body, he is an ordinary person. Even the Clock Tower, which is the headquarters of the Magicians Association, still needs ordinary people to take care of daily things.
"Well, I am Asagami Maya. Then I'll trouble you." Maya said politely. Although he is just an ordinary person, there is no need to act arrogant.
"Next, I will take you two to the clock tower. Do you have any questions?"
"Okay." Zhenyu replied.
The means of transportation is of course a car. The distance between the airport and the clock tower is quite long.
However, when we arrived about a thousand meters away from the clock tower, the car stopped.
The facilitator was full of apologies: "Sorry, the clock tower clearly stipulates that no cars can enter the distance ahead. If necessary, you can apply to change to a horse-drawn carriage."
The corners of Zhenyu's mouth twitched. Although he knew that those old guys were very conservative, he didn't expect that they would ban cars from driving at the door and even take carriages. Should it be said that they are conservative in a bad way or want to show off the heritage of a famous family? In addition to those and
Who else would get a carriage here outside of the famous magic family with close ties to the Clock Tower?
"Forget it, since it is a rule, then just abide by it. As for the carriage, forget it, we can just walk in and lead the way." Zhenyu said to the receptionist.
"Okay. Please follow me." After saying that, he led the two of them towards the clock tower. Zhenyu and Patchouli followed him.
Although there was only a distance of more than a thousand meters, Patchouli directly used floating magic to move, and explained to Zhenyu: "I am used to moving like this. But we are not in Gensokyo. Floating like this really consumes magic power, Mq."
Zhenyu didn't say anything. Although it was a bit high-profile, he had to be a little intimidated when he came here, otherwise he might be treated as plasticine and anyone could pinch it.
Levitation is not a profound magic, and there are not a few magicians who can use it. However, this magic is usually used when falling from a high altitude. Like Patchouli, it is used directly for transportation. There is basically no magical power, apart from other things.
Fine control is a big problem, as is the consumption of magic power.
Arriving at the entrance, Zhenyu looked up at the clock tower. The majestic building, coupled with the huge scale, and the hidden magic fluctuations really made people feel solemn. Of course, that is for ordinary people, coming here
How many ordinary people are there?
After walking in, I realized that the interior of the clock tower was so wide. The second method should have been used to a certain extent. Such a large location did not allow a car to appear in this school. They stubbornly used horse-drawn carriages from the old era.
There are only a few ordinary magicians who are qualified to own carriages, and this move is simply a deliberate attempt to show off their status.
"I'm extremely sorry. There is no place inside that I can go in. Someone will come to receive you two soon. I'll leave now."
"It doesn't matter." Zhenyu frowned, are you so harsh on ordinary people? Sure enough, the clock tower lords are really arrogant now.
After waiting for about half an hour, no one came. It was probably a show of intimidation. Zhenyu didn't say anything, but kept the account in mind. As for Patchouli, she took out the book and read it.
Since Patchouli was more interested in the magic system of the Xingyue world, Zhenyu gave her his book of knowledge. After all, in terms of quality and quantity, the content in the book of knowledge was more than that in the study, which was somewhat taboo.
It is impossible to put the content in the study room. By the way, I asked her to help improve the book of knowledge. After all, the props that can be used to refine the Philosopher's Stone (fake) are much better than those that Ma Yu has been studying for several years.
After another ten minutes or so, a man finally came, with his head held back and a smile on his face. Of course, it would be better if he didn't point his nostrils at the person.
"I'm really sorry. I've been delayed. Please forgive me." He apologized, but the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, which seemed more like a mockery. "Please allow me to introduce myself. I am Auston Archibald.
Comes from the famous Archibald family, which has been passed down for nine generations."
"Um, hello." Zhenyu greeted lightly. Although he is from the Archibald family, the family of Director Ken, Zhenyu has nothing to care about. Anyway, Archibald
The family's initial favorability towards him is negative, so there is no need to get close to him.
A trace of sullenness flashed in Auston's eyes, probably because he felt that the country bumpkin Zhen Yu didn't understand the rules and looked down upon the Archibald family.
"Next, I will lead you two on a tour of the Clock Tower. There are some places where I need to guide you, otherwise you will be stopped."
"Then it will be hard work."
ps1: Thank you Zhaiyue for the three five-star evaluation votes.
ps2: I accidentally discovered that I have collected 3,000 items, which seems to be a big achievement? Thank you everyone for your strong support.
ps3: The headquarters of the Magic Association is sometimes translated as Clock Tower, and some are translated as Clock Tower. They all have similar meanings, but because of the big clock, I chose the Clock Tower.
Chapter completed!
