Chapter 34: Anthony
As Adam walked down the road, he could feel someone watching him, and a carriage was already driving past him.
"The nobleman who also visited Alva. Adam jotted down the markings on the carriage and frowned, his instinct alerting him that the people in the carriage might be causing him some trouble.
Shaking his head, Adam took out the letter, hoping that Alva was not lying, and that it would really help him find someone to guide him in his mental strength.
Adam was prepared for the letter to be of no use, and judging by Alva's dislike of him, it was not impossible.
There were a few lines written on the envelope.
At noon, the central clock tower.
Twelve rings rang out in the underground.
Inform the inquirer that the visitor is a deceased person.
"Clock Tower at twelve?" said Adam, raising his hand to cover his eyes, and looked up at the sun, which was still some time before noon, and walked towards the so-called central clock tower.
Loa is divided into the South and North Districts, each with a cathedral and a number of chapels scattered throughout the corners.
Adam usually spends most of his activities in the South District, and is not very familiar with the North District, and the central clock tower is between the South and North Districts, not far from the aristocratic District.
Holding the letter, Adam's steps were a little brisker, and Kim's understanding of the profession of a sorcerer was limited to some basics and how to solve the sorcerer.
If you want to learn, it's best to find a sorcerer teacher.
Since Alva gave the letter with an address, it should have been useful, and although the man hated himself, he would not make fun of himself for it, and he would either give Adam a useless letter, or as he said, there was someone here who had developed Adam's mental powers.
Of course, you also need to be careful, this mentor is not necessarily a good person. "Adam likes good people because it's easier to get along with good people in any way you think about it.
When he came to the location of the clock tower, Adam did not see the guardian of the clock tower, which is usually guarded by garrisons or recruits.
A hand quietly pushed open the door of the clock tower, and after taking a look at the internal environment, Adam quietly walked inside.
Stepping on the planked floor, Adam didn't intend to make a big noise.
"Twelve rings in the ground?" Adam looked up, and there was a large bell at the top of the clock tower, and the bell was melodious.
"Isn't there a bell ringer?" said Adam as he walked up the stairs.
The staircase was made of wooden planks, and after stepping on the top floor, Adam found a solar timer similar to a sundial, a drip timer, an hourglass, and a mechanical timer similar to a pendulum clock.
This intrigued Adam.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Adam looked at the big bell and wondered whether to ring it, only to find that the bell suddenly moved on its own at this moment.
When the first sound sounded, the sound wave blew the dust in the air, and Adam suddenly reacted, turning and walking down.
The long wooden staircase, on which Adam stepped on it with one foot accompanied by the sound of the bells, coincided with the afterglow of the bells.
In the next eleven sounds, Adam went down eleven steps, and then the world turned upside down, and Adam, who was obviously walking down, suddenly found himself going upstairs.
And at the end of the staircase, no longer the top of the bell tower, but a vague door, in front of which stood a man shrouded in shadows.
"Please give the command. The man's voice was very young, and it was a female voice.
"The deceased. Adam replied that there is no such thing as reincarnation in this world, and to die is to return to the arms of God, so there is no intention of dying, otherwise Adam may not dare to come, and even wonder if Alva is afraid of Char's face and tricks him into coming here to die.
"Come on, no one has been here for a long time. The man pushed the door open, revealing the light and her youthful countenance.
The face is so delicate that it is not human, a sky blue hair is wrapped in a lace turban and tied behind the head, only a few strands are exposed, and a pair of eyes like jewels seem to reflect Adam's face.
On the body is a set of delicately embroidered black aristocratic outfits, worn on the girl's body, which sets off a bit of heroism and is extremely attractive to the eye.
"It's ......a little worse than me," Adam was a little stunned, but quickly relented and walked up quickly.
After closing the door, Adam realized that the space inside the door was far beyond the confines of the clock tower, with candles hanging everywhere without scales, providing light, and there were no doors or windows around.
"Please wait, the master will come out right away. The girl poured Adam a black drink without introducing herself, then turned and pushed open the door where she had entered.
The words did not have any ups and downs, and they revealed less emotion than Adam.
Adam took the letter and sat upright, looking at the house as best he could.
The walls, ceiling, and floor were all engraved with unknown spells, and the candle hanging on the side had been burning for a while, but Adam had not noticed any consumption of the candle.
The furniture is carved with some kind of pattern and is very old.
There are paintings on the walls, in a ...... style Alva's style?
"Crunch. When the door opened, a young man dressed in aristocratic attire walked in from outside the door, with some doubts in his mouth: "Is there a new guest?"
Adam immediately got up, and saw that the young man's face was very familiar, and he had seen it in the Thousand Paintings House not long ago.
Suspected to be the last person among the three heroes of Shengyin, his face is no different from the portrait, even the costume image is similar.
"Hello, I'm Adam Boku, introduced by Mr. Alva, and here's my letter of introduction. Adam was briefly startled and handed the letter of introduction to the other party.
"Alva's students, sit. The other man smiled happily and accepted the letter, and beckoned Adam to sit down.
Originally, the room was lit by candles, although it was bright, but it inevitably looked dark, but after the other party sat down, it seemed to illuminate the place, making everything seem warm and completely dispelling the darkness.
Adam sat down and stopped bothering the other man to read the letter.
Looking at the contents of the letter, he gradually reined in his original joy, revealing obvious loss and loneliness, and the hand holding the letter trembled slightly, but he also smiled with relief and put away the letter.
The corners of his mouth turned into a smile and looked at Adam, not implicating his previous emotions on Adam's body.
"Adam Cooper?" he smiled, confirming Adam's name, his white teeth making him look relatable, "I'm Anthony Latour Fernández." ”
"Alva recommends that you become a student of my profession as a sorcerer. Anthony looked into Adam's eyes, and one could feel his sincerity: "I can see that you are very talented, so would you like to be my student?"
"Naturally, I am willing, Mr. Anthony. It was impossible for Adam to refuse, although the contact time was not long, but Anthony in front of him made Adam feel very good.
"The charm is stronger than I can do it with all my might. Adam looked at his clothes and felt that he was missing the outfit.
"Good. Anthony was so happy that he quickly took out a gold coin wrapped in a thin chain from his clothes and placed it in Adam's hand.
"I can't leave the clock tower for some reason, you take this, and when you have time for the clock tower to show this, you can enter the interior space I have opened. ”
Anthony looked like he remembered something, turned his head and shouted outside, "Cyrin, go and get my spare spell book." ”
Then he turned to Adam and said, "Celine is my niece, she lives here with me, I asked her to go out for a walk more, she didn't want to, and she usually called me master, and I didn't listen to how many times I corrected her." ”
It turned out that in this short period of contact, Anthony completely trusted Adam.
Perhaps out of trust in Alva, or because of his long-term loneliness in the tower, Anthony has no hiding from Adam, as if he is a relative.
In this moment, Adam sensed a different kind of charm from his own charm, the charm that came from his personality.
"Is that what Alva introduced me to here?" Adam quickly recognized.
