Chapter 1 The Clock Tower

Next Chapter

It wasn't the first time Luo Wei had stepped into this classroom, but because of today's special day, he was nervous when he first entered the door, and he didn't notice that the steps at the door were tripped and fell to the ground. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Half of the semicircular classroom was divided into seven levels, each with four desks, each of which was now seated, and the only space left was the one farthest from the door.

The students in the classroom cast curious glances, and more than half of them were whispering to their tablemates, and the smiles on their faces were probably laughing at the man who couldn't even walk well.

"Rovi, sit in your place. ”

The direction corresponding to the seat was extremely empty, and there was only a huge blackboard and the long table about two meters in front of the blackboard. It was the other half of the classroom, where Ermelo II, the aristocratic lecturer of the Hour Tower, was sitting. As a famous lecturer in the watch tower, he had long black hair, draped over his shoulders, a very formal black suit, and usually wore glasses when he lectured, and he gave the impression that he was full of knowledge, which was actually the case.

"I'm sorry, Lecturer Ermeiro. Rowe got up from the ground, bowed deeply, and before he even had time to pat the dirt, hurried to his seat, probably from the tension, and nearly tripped on the floor, causing a noticeable laugh in the classroom.

"Quiet. As soon as Lecturer Ermelo spoke, the whole classroom fell silent, and everyone knew that Lecturer Ermero's favorite thing was the intelligent and understanding students, and the quiet classroom.

Once Rowe was seated, Lecturer Ermeiro glanced at the students with a sharp gaze and began the day's topic.

"As I said yesterday, today is your graduation ceremony, and I have selected seven people from among you who have reached a considerable level of magic knowledge, and these seven people will be awarded the seventh rank by the Clock Tower, which is the title of Frame, which means that you have graduated from a student and officially become a magician. At this point, he paused, and then asked, "Are you ready?"

The quiet classroom and the quiet air were all expected by the lecturer to say his name. Everyone is confident that their studies are sufficient, that they have a sufficient knowledge of magic and the history of the world at large, which is the conceit of those who were born into aristocratic families and have a good education from an early age.

Except for one man, Rowe Sidley.

Compared with other people, although Luo Wei was also born into a noble, he is just a down-and-out aristocratic family, needless to say that only Luo Wei and his uncle in the United States are living in this world now, and more importantly, the most powerful magician in their family, has only won the fifth rank, that is, the title of Cause, compared with other people in this classroom, it is no different from ordinary people's families.

Luo Wei's hands were crossed and clenched, his overly nervous hands already sweating, dripping on the desk. This is his fourth year of studying at the Tower, and the first three years have survived on the supply of the Tower, but if he has not received the official title of magician this year, the Tower's assistance to a family, in fact, his personal assistance, will stop, let alone the career of a magician, and even survival will be a problem.

Lecturer Ermelo took out a few pieces of paper from his purse, which were filled with dense words, presumably the list and the reasons for being chosen. The lecturer sorted out the materials a little, then took out his glasses from the inside pocket of his suit and put them on.

There were some slight screams, or exclamations of excitement from the quiet classroom. Most of the girls began to discuss the appearance of the current lecturer in Ermeiro. Some say they are handsome, some say they are wise, but in any case, they can only reflect the masculine charm that Lecturer Ermelo exudes for women, which is incomparably powerful.

There are many identities as a lecturer at Ermelo. The famous lecturer of the Clock Tower, the great magician who inherited the Ermelo School, is privately even recognized by the girls of the Clock Tower as the most Ooxx man. However, these are not the main ones, because Lecturer Ermelo is a man who participated in the "Fourth Holy Grail War in the Far East" and survived.

The so-called Holy Grail War, originally originated in a place called Fuyuki City in the Far East, where the leylines will continue to accumulate spiritual power, about every sixty years, the accumulated powerful spiritual power will form a thing called the Holy Grail, its powerful power is said to be enough to fulfill any wish, and because of this, the magicians collectively known as the Master will summon their own servants (Servent) to fight against others to compete for the Holy Grail to fulfill their wishes, so it is called the Holy Grail War.

Originally, before this information spread, there were three main families vying for the Holy Grail: Einzberen, Tosaka, and Machiri. However, in the later time, the news of the Holy Grail spread, and at the same time, the system known as the Great Holy Grail collapsed due to the strength consumed by the three Holy Grail wars, and spread to the whole world through the hands of unknown magicians.

The Holy Grail Wars are beginning to become commonplace, but no matter what, every Holy Grail War is full of blood and struggle, and those who can survive that crazy battle are all the best of the best.

But for Rowe, that kind of thing doesn't have much to do with him, and all he thinks about now is how to get the title of magician.

"Atlas Animsfia. ”

Lecturer Ermelo began to read out the first name, and not many people were surprised, because the man who stood up and wore the uniform of the Clock Tower was one of the best students among them.

The silver-haired boy of the Animsfia family strode confidently to the other half of the classroom, in front of Lecturer Ermeiro, across a table, and took the paper from the lecturer's hand, on which clearly stated the reason why he had been given the title.

"Thanks to the lecturers. After bowing, the white-haired boy stepped back and stood aside, he could not return to his seat, because he had to wait for the rest of the people to come up, and then stand in a row to receive the blessings of the other students, which was a tradition.

"Etneya Animsfia. ”

Another girl of the Animsfia family, with the same silver-colored hair as her brother, got up from her seat and walked quickly to the lecturer, the excitement on her face was clearly visible, maybe she was happy to be a magician, or maybe it was the same Ermelo II who handed her the certificate.

"Thanks to the lecturers. ”

The girl saluted and stood with her brother, and the two whispered joy in their hearts.

Although the Animsfia family is not as big as Ermelo and Barsermelo, it is also a fairly powerful aristocratic family, and its parents now have a magician of the third rank (Pride), and there has even been a magician of the second rank (Brand) in history. And the two of them have only been studying in the clock tower for only a year, and they have been awarded the title of magician early, so it can be said that they are worthy of their family's name.

"Milia Ermero. ”

The sparse voices in the classroom disappeared instantly, because the person whose name was read was only a newcomer who had just arrived at the Tower half a year ago.

The third daughter of the Ermelo family, Milia Ermero.

Her expression did not change as usual, and the girl rose from her seat, stepped forward unhurriedly, and took the certificate from the lecturer who was also from the Ermelo family.

"Your father must be pleased. Not only her father, but the lecturer also looked very happy, and even had a smile on his face.

"Thank you, lecturer. ”

If everyone else knew what kind of terrifying strength this girl nicknamed Monster had, they would definitely wonder if the Ermelo family was secretly doing something.

But the truth is not, Luo Wei looked at the girl who walked aside without emotion after getting the certificate, and his heart was full of envy.

Milia Ermelo, who came in as a transfer student half a year ago, made the whole class realize the strength of the Ermelo family on the first day. She relied on the magic she had learned to beat the young man of the Animsfia family to no avail, and although she was finally punished because the tower was forbidden to fight, it was an opportunity for her classmates to realize how powerful the Ermeiro family really was.

"Messeri Eddard. ”

This is an unexpected guy, the situation of the Ed family is probably better than that of Rowe, she herself has studied in the Clock Tower for three years, generally speaking, people who study for three years can obtain the title of magician, which is also normal.

However, she herself cried with joy, and ran to the lectern to thank the lecturer with tears, and tears even stuck to her long brown hair.

Time flew by, and Rowe stared at Lecturer Ermelo as he said seven names in turn, but in the midst of that, there was no oneself.

"Above, congratulations to them. ”

There was a round of applause in the classroom, but Rowe's mood sank to the bottom, clapping his hands mechanically like a zombie, he didn't quite understand what he had done in the past four years, maybe it was just a waste of time.

Gradually, the applause subsided, and the students began to leave the classroom, either to share the joyful moments with the successful ones, or to go home and continue their studies, and in a few breaths, the classroom was empty, and all that was left was Rowe, who slowly walked down the stairs, and Lecturer Ermeiro, who walked towards him.

"Rowe Sidley, follow me. ”

Rowe followed Lecturer Ermelo through the promenade of the Clock Tower, next to the British Museum's huge glass screen, and outside the green grass, where some students were playing happily.

Climbing up the third floor from the stairs, Rowe followed Ermelo II to the lecturer's personal room.

After entering the door, Rowe saw shelves of books on both sides and a work desk, and a bed in the dark shadow on his left hand, and the whole room looked very small, just Rowe and Ermelo II, two very thin looking people, standing here, would feel that the room was very crowded.

"Rowe, I think you know what's going on. ”

Luo Wei gritted his teeth and tried to keep himself calm.

"Yes, lecturer. ”

"Now you have a few options, one is to stay and study, but you have to figure out the cost of living. The other is to be sent where you are needed, and of course it will be where I have already told you. Lecturer Ermelo stared at Rowe, waiting for his reply.

There was such a conversation a year ago, but at that time the tower would still be responsible for his cost of living, but not this year, as for the dispatch, it was probably to go to the Middle East or Egypt and be an ordinary brick movers. After all, a person who has not even earned the title of magician will not be sent to work related to magic.

Luo Wei was confused and didn't know which direction to go in the future.

Lecturer Ermelo also saw this, and sighed, not knowing whether he felt sorry for Rovi or thought that this student was too stupid.

"You will reply to me tomorrow at ten o'clock in the morning, and now I have something to do. With that, Lecturer Ermelo began his work, and Rowe bowed respectfully and exited the room.

Now Rowe has a choice, which is to go home, walk out of the Clock Tower from Lecturer Ermeiro's room, walk out of the British Museum, and go to the streets of London, where the flow of people is very fast, and it is the end of the day when he walks by, and all kinds of ordinary people walk by, for Rovi, he is very envious.

He took out his wallet from the pocket of his uniform, and there was about a month's worth of bread money left in it, all from the Clock Tower, but from this day on, he could no longer receive a penny from the Clock Tower.

Sometimes Luo Wei also thinks about whether to be an ordinary person, leave the world of magic, and live a peaceful life. However, Luo Wei could feel that once he entered this magic world, it was almost impossible to get out of it.

On the way home, Rowe bought a bag of bread, which was nothing unusual in the form of ordinary baguettes, because it was the cheapest and most hunger-quenching food.

Sidley's home is in the suburbs of London, half a city away from the British Museum, where the Clock Tower is located, quite far away, and after four years of study, Rowe has grown the fastest only because he will not feel tired of his feet.

Rowe's house is also a very dilapidated place, a four-story apartment in the suburbs of London, although the landlord was kind enough to waive some of the repair costs for Rowe, so that his life will not be too bad, at least the house will not leak and the electricity will not be lost. But in addition to the bed, table, and chair, all that remained in the room were a few bookcases full of old books, which were the few possessions left by Rowe's poor ancestors.

Luo Wei ate his bread and thought, he might need to look for it tomorrow, what can support himself and not affect his daily work of learning magic.
