Chapter 206: Ten Years Later (1)
Chapter 206: Ten Years Later (1)
Weber Velvet, no, it should be said that Ermelo II took off his glasses, stretched out his right hand to pinch the bridge of his nose, which had become uncomfortable from reading for a long time, and exhaled.
Winter in London is still very difficult, of course, the fireplace in his room has long been burned red, and the whole room is warm, as if you can't help but want to sleep.
But Ermelo II not only did not feel a little sleepy, but the chill in his heart was colder than the weather outside.
Twenty years have passed since he last fought in the Holy Grail War.
The teenager is now an uncle in his thirties and forties.
His forehead and cheeks could not withstand the torment of time, and the signs of middle age appeared, his skin was no longer firm and began to become saggy, and his physical strength was already far from what he wanted twenty years ago.
If he is a powerful magician, the thirty or forty-year-old grade is the peak period for him, but although he is a [color magician] recognized by the clock tower, his magic attainments can reach the color level in teaching, and it is not certain whether he has the magic level of the sacrifice seat.
If he had to say it, he was not wrong to often mock himself as a crappy third-rate magician.
But this crappy magician actually has a much more sensitive understanding of the world than the old fools of the clock tower.
When facing Ermelo I, he dared to say that talent does not mean anything, and hard work is the most important thing, and now he has reached the color position of magician with hard work, which proves his words back then.
What's more, he is a magician who really goes out and sees the world, and many magicians will never step out of the clock tower half a step in their lifetime, and their lives are calculated in hundred years.
Because of this, magicians are much slower than ordinary people in changing the world.
On the contrary, the new generation of magicians is extremely sensitive to the changes in the world.
Like the magicians of the "new generation" in their thirties and forties, such as Ermelo II.
In fact, he did not understand the international situation in the past few years.
In the past ten years, all the magicians have known that a huge and epic battle directly destroyed the spiritual veins of Japan, which led to the loss of grain, fruits, and other crops in Japan for the next few years.
Since then, the number of Japanese immigrants has increased year by year.
United States, China, Europe, South America......
It seems that the Japanese and the Japanese government understand this matter, and they have spent a lot of money to buy an archipelago in Southeast Asia, and as for the people in Japan itself, there are only a pitiful 30 million people left.
The rest of the Japanese are scattered in various countries.
However, these so-called scattered are just for the 130 million Japanese people in those years, but for a country with only a few million people, there are hundreds of thousands of Japanese with black hair, black eyes and yellow skin at once, and these Japanese people are still extremely grouped, and their cultural habits are completely different from the local ones.
It was as if the Caucasian countries of the world had been invaded by the Mongols again.
This makes many Caucasian people extremely uncomfortable.
But this is just a "small thing" in the eyes of magicians.
The real big thing is that the Japanese Magic Association seems to have opened an educational institution similar to a clock tower, and then as a mutually friendly educational institution, exchange students are almost a natural thing.
But soon the clock tower found out that something was wrong, there seemed to be an endless number of students who wanted to come to the clock tower to study, at first the business-to-business exchange students between the two schools, then the self-funded students who slowly poured in, and in the end, the self-funded students were almost impossible to hide, and the surge made the clock tower seem to have been invaded by Southeast Asians.
This allocation of educational resources has rightly been hit by those who have lost profits.
But behind this blow is the fear of these Southeast Asian students.
These students are talented and hardworking, and the devil knows how Japan's small country could have sprung up so much in ten years at once.
By now, the Southeast Asian students and local students in the clock tower are almost four or six.
Southeast Asia makes up a full 60 percent of students.
If that's just the clock tower, then the next question is the whole magician world.
A new punitive force has emerged in the island country of the Far East in recent years, and its biggest feature is that they are not necessarily limited to magicians, but as long as they have superpowers with power (there are them in the Moon World), or even if they are Dead Apostles, as long as they believe that they are human beings in their hearts, and are willing to fight and fight to maintain the peace of the human world, they will recruit them.
The enemies of this punitive force are the Dead Apostles who flood the human world, and their direct competitors are the Templar Church, the nemesis of the Magician Society.
It is precisely because of this that the Magicians' Association is in favor of their appearance, and even secretly happy, because the Templar Church has begun to have a lot of friction with the Punisher forces in the Far East after several twists and turns.
For example, what Ermelo II is worried about now is whether the two sides will directly trigger a fuse because of something, and turn it into a full-scale war between the two magician organizations that are completely opposed.
If that's the case, not to mention that the clock tower can be left alone, and even the entire magician guild will be involved.
"Teacher, teacher!" a blonde boy slammed the large wooden door open in a reckless manner, and stumbled into the office of Ermelo II.
Ermelo II was furious: "How many times have I taught you to knock on the door before you come in!"
"Teacher, that's all right!The Punishers, they're fighting with the Fifth Ancestor of the Dead Apostles in South America!!" The boy screamed in panic at this event that would have caused the whole world to shake, and El Mello II shook himself from his chair.
"What!!" He jumped up like a spring under his buttocks, and the whole person exclaimed, "Are they going to go to war directly with the Twenty-Seven Ancestors of the Dead Apostles!!"
"Oops! The Templar Church should not meddle in at this time!!"
