Chapter Thirty-Six: An Unexpected Visitor
The arrangement in the guest room is naturally one room for two people, as a matter of course, for safety reasons, it is natural that Flatt and Sphine live together, as a matter of course, the two ladies Lenys and Gray live, and as a matter of course, Shenji and Webber live together.
And rightfully — uh, not this time.
Originally, Webber and Shinji were going to play games online until late at night, but after a dinner party that seemed to be calm but actually had turbulent undercurrents, neither of them was in the mood.
Webb stood by the windowsill and smoked one cigar after another.
Shinji leaned back on the sofa with his eyes closed, and the magic fluctuations on his body never broke from beginning to end.
This state lasted for about half an hour before Webb threw the cigarette butt high out of the window and turned his head to ask.
"What do you think?"
"What do you think?"
Shinji opened his eyes, and the originally steady magic suddenly turned sharply into a gust of air, sweeping the smell of smoke out of the window.
"An invitation from Baru Yereta. Webb closed the window and closed the curtains.
"What can you think? Promise, there is a cheap and don't take advantage of the bastard. ”
Hearing such a straightforward answer, Webb couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.
"It's not easy to take advantage of this cheapness, and you won't be able to vomit it when you eat it. ”
"If you can't spit it out, you won't spit it out, and you don't know the attitude of the eldest lady and your teacher. You don't need to worry about them, as long as you don't forget your heart, it's your freedom to do anything, including joining rival factions. ”
That's why I'm worried. Webber sighed, "Lord Baruyereta is right, the concept of the Elmeloi Classroom is the closest to the Creation Department, and once they are branded, it will be difficult to wash them off. ”
"Beauty-tsk, the little fresh meat ten years ago was okay, but now the old bacon is still forgotten, I really want to be beautiful, take a vacation for half a year first, recuperate well, and don't look at how bad my face is. ”
Shinji cocked Jiro's legs and squinted at Weber, whose face was hard to hide.
"you, you know I'm not talking about this, it's a political risk. ”
"Come on, you guys are good at teaching and eyesight, you are a rookie in politics, instead of thinking about it here, it is better to refer to the opinions of experts. ”
"Expert?" Webb nodded thoughtfully, "Lenys?"
He also said that he hated her, and the first thing that came to his mind was her - although Miss Rhaenys was very good, she was too young and inexperienced after all, and she was too tender to wrestle with the lord of Baru Yereta, and it would be about the same in ten or twenty years. ”
"And who do you mean?" Webber decisively ignored Shinji's complaint.
"Your wife, Lady Sola. Just as Rhaenys supports you, Lady Sola has been supporting your teacher for years. Thanks to her support, your teacher was able to concentrate on his academics, and he was eventually given the title of 'the modern Hohenheim'. Although there is an element of boasting, if you continue to maintain it, you may not be able to reach the height of that person. ”
Who is Hohenheim? He is the most important founder of modern magic, whether it is the rediscovery of the four elements or the definition of the three primordial essences, which are the core foundation of modern magic. Converted to the technology side, it is equivalent to Tesla's alternating current system or even Einstein's relativity system.
And unlike Orange's secrecy, which kept the results of his work strictly secret, many of Kenneth's papers were published and countless magicians benefited from them, which led to Almeroy's success.
The outside world attributes the glory to Kenneth himself, but forgets that human time is limited, twenty-four hours a day, and distraction politics is bound to be divided into magic research. Kenneth has come to this point in ten years, and his wife Sora has contributed a lot.
"Mrs. Sola...... It's a good fit, but how to get in touch is a problem, and I'm afraid there will be more people staring at me from today. ”
Weber's judgment was very correct, from the moment Baruyereta stretched out an olive branch openly, countless eyes would be staring at him and the El Meloi classroom, and his every move must be more careful, otherwise it would destroy this hard-won pure land.
Yes, the Pure Land.
This is what people who know the details of the El Meloy classroom call this place. It is beyond factional struggles and has a thin political color, and students of any faction will be well taught here. Loreley and Kenneth, who had already focused on the future, did not want this peace to be broken, so that although they could temporarily increase the power of aristocracy, it would do more harm than good to the development of the clock tower and the entire magic world.
Weber knew their painstaking efforts, so he had to be cautious, cautious, and cautious.
In this regard, Shinji has long been confident: "I have a way, use this." ”
"Cell phone?" Webb stared.
"That's right, I just checked. Like many traditional magicians who are resistant to technology, Ezema has a perfect defense against mysteries, but nothing at the means of technology, which is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. ”
How could Weber not understand what Shinji meant. As a veteran otaku with a full set of gaming equipment, I'm afraid that there are not many people in the entire clock tower who know the difference between technology and mystery better than him. Failure to do the right technology means that modern means of communication are unimpeded and there is no need to worry about being monitored. What's more, who would have thought that Webber would liaise with the rival stalwart Al Meloy in the heart of Balujeretta?
"Without further ado, I'm just-"
Before he could take the phone, Shinji's face suddenly changed.
"No, wait. Someone in the hallway is approaching. ”
Webber immediately dismissed his original plan and walked over to Shinji and sat down.
Soon, a voice came from outside the door.
"Can you excuse me? ”
"Please come in, the door is unlocked. ”
In the realm of a magician, living in a house provided by someone else, a door lock is meaningless. Instead of trusting this, trust the weapons and dress in the bag.
Webber sat upright, and Shinji lowered his crossed legs.
The door was opened, revealing the hallway outside.
Standing there was the maid who was with Golden Ji and Silver Ji when they appeared.
"My name is Karina. ”
Carrying a lantern in one hand, she could only salute briefly, and then introduced herself.
"It's really bothering. I'm Webb Velvett, what's the point?"
The maid did not answer, and beckoned to the other side.
"Please go this way. ”
There, there's another.
The moment this person walked into view, the world was turned upside down.
Human cognition is subverting the laws of physics, and it is not magic, let alone magic, that causes all this, but pure "beauty".
Weber's serious and serious image was instantly broken, and a few syllables came out intermittently from his unclosed mouth.
"Yellow... Gold... Ji?"
