Chapter 36: The Daily Life of the Clock Tower
()[[[ers20136132776595635067530294982087887055.jpg]]]
Under the leadership of Auston Archibald, the two of them took a tour of the Clock Tower - the Gem Department, the Magic Costume Department, the Academic Department, and the library that Mayu and Patchouli were most looking forward to.
From time to time, he tells the history of each department, as well as the glory and glorious deeds achieved by the Archibald family and the El-Melloi school in it.
In Zhenyu's view, he was like a ostentatious upstart, showing off his family's glory to Zhenyu.
Magicians such as Alston who have gained powerful power through family inheritance have accumulated their magic circuits from generation to generation. Although they do not have magic imprints, their power is unquestionable. For ordinary magicians, they have unlimited power.
Comparable advantages - the family provides sufficient resources, magic suitable for one's own characteristics, and dedicated teaching.
People who come from a family of magicians with a long history are often able to inherit powerful magic achievements. On this basis, their magic can often become more and more sophisticated. Therefore, the more a family of magicians is passed down from generation to generation, the more magical power they have.
The stronger it is.
In the eyes of Zhen Yu, Auston's behavior is that of a nouveau riche. Perhaps in the eyes of these clock tower lord families who value blood, Zhen Yu, as the first generation magician, is the nouveau riche - just a guy who got lucky and got a genius.
A magician with great talent may be lucky enough to be accepted as a disciple by a magician, but if he is adopted, the next generation may not have any magic circuits.
——This kind of thing has happened before. Usually it is a wild mage who enters the world of magic by accident. However, without a long-lasting and stable magic inheritance and a unique magic imprint, the magic lineage will be cut off within two or three generations.
Well. After all, they are just a nouveau riche family.
Influenced by the ruling class of the Clock Tower, the students and lecturers in the Clock Tower paid more attention to bloodline than Zhen Yu, a magician from the "Far East Countryside" could understand.
Since it was still the first day, the manager of the clock tower did not summon Zhenyu. Therefore, Zhenyu did not go to them on this day and went directly back to his residence.
Although it is called training in the Clock Tower, the teachings in the Clock Tower are actually very loose. It is okay not to attend the class. Moreover, Zhen Yu is a specially invited student, so naturally it is impossible for him to be like ordinary magicians or children of ordinary families.
The apprentice began to study - as for the children of the great nobles, they are usually educated within the family. The magic family that has been followed for nearly a thousand years has a complete magic inheritance.
As for Patchouli, her current status in the Clock Tower is only a nominal student. Neither Zhenyu nor Patchouli care about this. What they value is just the books collected in the Clock Tower.
The next day, the management of the Clock Tower summoned Zhen Yu. There was no such thing as a storm as he imagined. A group of bearded old men just asked Zhen Yu some questions and then let him go. Jean made a lot of plans in his mind.
Zhen Yu felt that her efforts were in vain.
It seems that he is still wary of Maya's mysterious teacher, especially now that he has a sister who is a great magician.
Zhen Yu answered truthfully to those questions. He didn't believe that these old guys would not use lie detection magic. Although ordinary magic was ineffective against Zhen Yu, using ceremonial magic or combined spells was not something Zhen Yu could block now.
.
Of course, there are also skills in answering. For example, if the teacher is Orinika - Zhenyu's magic knowledge is indeed taught by Orinika; whether the teacher is a magician - Orinika does have the level of a magician
Abilities (but most of them cannot be used); where is she now - estimated to be repairing her magic costume, etc.
"Can I ask about the origin of the sister next to you?" one of the middle-aged magicians asked.
A person of the level of a great magician appeared without warning, and in terms of age, it was too exaggerated—a sixteen-year-old great magician! (Patchouli filled in the information as sixteen years old)—
Even the heir to the Bartholomew family is only at this level.
"Of course. She is my sister. We have the same magic heritage and the same interests." She had known that the Clock Tower would ask this question, so Zhenyu avoided the important and took the easy.
As for the loopholes in the explanation, everyone can just understand it tacitly. There is no need to make it unhappy with the two magic geniuses because of this trivial matter. If the Clock Tower does not want people, Atlas Academy and Wandering Sea will be happy to have two more people.
A magician with a bright future. What's more, there may be a magician behind these two magicians.
Near the end, Zhenyu said lightly: "Oston Archibald, who received us yesterday, I am personally very grateful for his hospitality. I think he has talents in this area. I would like to recommend him personally."
He went to work in the reception room. Of course, this is just my opinion as a newcomer. I have no intention of interfering with the actual operations of the clock tower."
He didn’t go into details, but everyone understood what he meant. After Zhenyu expressed what he meant, how the clock tower reacted was another matter - I heard that the Archibald family has been going downhill in recent years, I believe some people don’t.
I will give up this opportunity.
Although he didn't meet Zhenyu's mysterious teacher, he and Patchouli were still given all the treatment as invited students - this identity is quite interesting to Zhenyu, at least he can watch the lecturer's first-level talents in the library
Read the books. It seems that the Clock Tower recognized the talents of the two of them.
There is no announcement about the fourth magic user. After all, he has not shown his face, and there is no guarantee from other magic users. Although the aura of "dharma" on Zhen Yu's body is genuine, there is no doubt about it, but with the
The birth of the fourth magician is still not certain at all.
Regarding these, Zhenyu is noncommittal. All he needs is a good practice environment, and everything else can be postponed or ignored. As for the matter of Auston, it is just a matter of taking advantage of the situation. If it is stronger, it can be reduced
A lot of trouble - he didn't want to be disturbed all day, especially by a group of blood-first guys.
Now that the so-called "inspection" has been passed, it is time to practice. It is simply unbearable for Zhenyu to leave so many books in the library without reading them. As for Patchouli, a big
She had already run to the library. If it hadn't been for Maya's insistence yesterday, she would have stayed up all night in the library just like before at the Scarlet Devil Mansion.
The library of the Clock Tower does live up to its reputation. The various information recorded in it is very detailed. For example, the Holy Grail War in Fuyuki City, from the beginning of the Holy Grail War to the last war, has complete records. It seems that the Magic Association
The name of this department is indeed worthy of its name.
Both Zhenyu and Patchouli have the right to enter the lecturer-level book collection. The apprentice-level and lecturer-level book collections are completely different concepts. The theoretical difference is like the difference between junior high school students and college students. Of course, this does not mean that basic books are not good.
But now what Zhenyu and Patchouli need are higher-level theories to improve their understanding of the world.
When I came to the library, I probably received the news yesterday. The lecturers and students in the Clock Tower were very curious about Zhenyu, a new student. In the past few years, the Clock Tower has sent out three invitations.
Yu is one of them, and everyone wants to see what kind of genius receives the invitation letter from the Clock Tower.
Ordinary, this is the first impression. Although he has extraordinary beauty (?), appearance is not important to magicians, magic is. Since Maha's magic power is usually restrained, he does not have that kind of intuition.
The magic power fluctuates.
This is also the reason why Auston Archibald dared to be rude to Zhen Yu, the rumored magician disciple - a person without magic talent, even a magician disciple, is not to be feared.
Zhen Yu touched her nose. Did her disguise ability go too far?
ps1: The second update... to me, it seems that the second update is amazing?
ps2: Thanks to the book friend "Disaster Ah Ah" for the five five-star evaluation votes.
