Chapter 115: Webb Velvet
No one has ever understood Weber-Velvett's talent.
As a magician, he was neither born in a famous family, nor was he lucky enough to meet a famous teacher. Half of the teenager was self-taught, and he was eventually admitted to the headquarters of the Magic Society, which commands magicians around the world, commonly known as the "Clock Tower", the highest university in London. Weber has always believed that this great work is an honor that no one can match, and he is very proud of this talent. "I'm the only one who's been the most powerful student in the Clock Tower's history, and anyone should be impressed," at least that's what Webb himself thought.
The mystery of magic is not something that can be completed in one generation, and the results of a lifetime of research by parents are inherited by their children, and through this means, it is expected that magic will become more and more exquisite, and the more the magic family passed down from generation to generation, the stronger the magic will be.
Unfortunately, the Velvette family's lineage as magicians has only lasted for three generations, and it is in the eyes of magicians who use magic marks and family history as their standard of viewing. Of course, in addition to the magic mark, if a lucky person accidentally possesses another thing that is important to the magician, the magic circuit, and has a talent far beyond that of the magician, that individual can also be seen by other magicians as something to look forward to, as an individual rather than as a family.
Webb's family was ordinary, not worth mentioning to the old aristocracy, and his talent was only slightly better than that of the average wild magician, so life in the clock tower could be said to be unsatisfactory.
Webb doesn't have much talent for practicing magic on his own, but it's not for nothing that the Clock Tower would admit Webb. Weber's talent for the theory of magic is why the eldest son of the Archipolud family, a nine-generation wizard and a lecturer in the Clock Tower Séance, named Kenneth Ermelo Archpolud, did not like him, but still accepted him as a disciple.
As an apprentice, all the results are the master's, this is the rule, the rule that has existed since the birth of the profession of magician. Maybe Webber will continue to live in obscurity, like his countless predecessors, or maybe his children and descendants will finally be able to add some glory to the Velvet family after they have a magic mark that has been passed down for generations, but this has nothing to do with Weber.
On this day, Weber was unfortunate and equally fortunate to be caught as a leader of a new student when he passed through the principal's office, and he literally just led the way for a young freshman. However, the identity of this freshman is not simple, this is not the time when the clock tower starts, to be precise, it has been a long time since the school started, such transfer students are either amazingly talented, or have a terrifying background, of course, it is more likely to take both, especially in this magician world where identity background is one of the talents.
The man named Sorenville-Black is very kind, different from the average nobleman, this identity was learned by Weber during the conversation, perhaps this has something to do with the fact that he is an "old nobleman in the country", although he has a long history, but has never made magic engravings, such a family is a little better in the eyes of the nobles of the clock tower than a commoner like Webb who is "from a humble background".
Sauron is very good, as a nobleman, he is qualified to consult all kinds of materials in the library at any time, but when an "ordinary person" like Weber goes to borrow a book, the administrator always looks at him with a "really wasteful" look, and Sauron always allows Weber to rub books around him to read, such a kind magician is rare, in return, Weber will also exchange some of their own small magic tricks with Sauron, which is not very useful for fighting, but it will be very useful when dealing with life problems.
Sauron's laboratory was arranged according to the aristocratic specifications of the clock tower, so Webb would always come here to borrow instruments that were usually difficult to access when Sauron allowed it, and Sauron never kept Webb's research a secret, so Webb couldn't believe it when he knew that Sauron was actually trying to make a simplified version of the magic mark!
Although the magic marks are all man-made, and the manufacturing is not very difficult, but it is a normal way to make the magic mark, and it is not that no one has studied the magic pattern array that is engraved directly on the living body, but ordinary creatures are difficult to withstand the pressure of the magic pattern, and the humans who can withstand the magic pattern are all magicians, who will use the abbreviated version in the case of the magic mark? And the magicians who need such pseudo-magic engraving are not in a position to study it, so it has created a situation where there are no relevant results in the magic world.
Webber took Sauron's results to show Director Kenneth, although he knew that this achievement was only an alternative for the side children of the magic family or wild magicians who did not have magic marks, but being able to see the uncomfortable face of the perfect Akipolud might be Webb's greatest wish at the moment.
However, the result was beyond Webber's expectations, and the lecturer of the séance department was noncommittal about this achievement, but still took the opportunity to humiliate Weber again, in fact, it was just a look of "this kind of thing was actually shown to me", but it was already an unbearable humiliation for Weber.
It just so happened that Director Kenneth had something to leave, and Weber, who was reluctant to go with the mentor, was a step too slow, so the employee who was assigned the package saw that he handed over the package that needed to be handed over to Director Kenneth to the disciple of the lecturer of the séance, Weber, who was the opposite of the word "superior".
Webber sorted the packages as usual, which of course required them to be opened, and when he handled one of the items, Webb noticed the difference, a fragment of a cloak that looked old, in connection with a recent rumor that had been circulating in the underground circles of the clock tower: "The prestigious Kenneth Ermelo Achipouud decided to take part in a magic competition in the nearby Far East in order to add to his vain resume." ”
Webber has also heard of the battle around a third law prop held in the land lock of the Far East, although it is a little barbaric, but this is exactly what Webber needs, only to win with real strength, all the background can not change the final result, this is Webber's chance to prove himself!
Lying on the bed, Webber wrapped in the quilt couldn't help but snicker, and the ticket to participate in the Holy Grail War called the Spell in his hand told him that none of this was a dream. With a holy relic in his hand, and being in the winter wood, and having enough magician qualities, how could such a person look away from the Holy Grail. Sure enough, since last night, Webb's right hand has clearly appeared with the pattern of three spells, which are the proof of the Master who summoned the Servant.
The excitement was such that Webb didn't even notice the crow of the rooster that had been crowing in the courtyard since dawn. The first thing he had to do when he won the Holy Grail was to smash it in Kenneth's face! - The premise is that Sauron, who has also received the curse, will abide by the agreement and will not duel with him until he has dealt with the other contestants.
(Whatever!) Webb thought that even a victory for Sauron would be much better than for a mediocre like Kenneth.) )
"Webb, it's time for breakfast."
The voice of the old woman calling at the top of the staircase sounded different from usual this morning, and it didn't seem to be so annoying.
"Here we go!"
