Chapter 374: The "Dean" of the Clock Tower
"Young man, don't be so angry. Sit down and say. ”
The old man smiled bitterly, poured a cup of black tea and sent it to the table in front of Zhou Yao.
"No need, I'm used to drinking tea made by Sakiya." Zhou Yao refused without giving face.
"Hehe, okay." The wry smile on the old man's face was even stronger.
His wry smile didn't bring any change to Zhou Yao, but Erquit on the side let down his guard, sat down next to Hulian Bei and curiously picked up the cookie and tasted it. It's not just her, even Sakiya is involved.
"After living for a long time, there is only such a hobby left, if you like it, I will write down the recipe for you later." The old man said.
"No, I don't." Zhou Yao directly refused.
The more he looked at the old man, the more he felt that it was not the first time they had met, but he just couldn't remember where they had met.
"No, I don't."
Immediately after his words, Sakiya also refused.
"I already know the specific material, and I just need to try it out and make it."
Sakiya took out a notepad, wrote down the materials he felt on it, and handed it to the old man.
"Haha, that's amazing." The old man looked at it twice, and immediately laughed cheerfully.
Then the two exchanged views on the making of dim sum, and the people present were in a fog.
"Master, I'm sorry. It's all because of my lack of strength. ”
Icarus came to Zhou Yao's side with the globe ball in his arms.
"Hey, it's not because of ...... Ahem, it's not your fault. ”
Zhou Yao swallowed his true thoughts and touched Icarus's head.
He had thought that Icarus and Hulianbei had stayed here because they had been "tricked".
A snack, a globe...... deceived the two of them into hand, and Zhou Yao was speechless enough.
But listening to the meaning of Icarus's words, the two were really "forced" to stay as hostages because they were not enemies of each other.
Why put quotation marks around the word forced? That's a weird question......
Zhou Yao was surprised by the facts, and at the same time became a little curious about the identity of the old man.
Since the other party has the strength to suppress Icarus and Hulianbei but did not hurt the two, then at least it is not an enemy?
Even Icarus and Hulian Beijia together are no rivals, but not just anyone can do it. Zhou Yao went through the memories in his mind, but he couldn't guess who the old man was.
And also. The familiarity that had been haunting him since they met just now has never come to a conclusion.
"You can get into the topic, who are you? What's the matter with me? Zhou Yao got straight to the point.
The other party brought him over, there must be something.
"Okay. Then I'll get straight to the point. It's been a long time since I was called 'Dean'. ”
The old man didn't hesitate and replied.
"And for what purpose? Don't tell me it's a magic weapon. ”
When Zhou Yao heard the title of "dean", he suddenly remembered that this was the clock tower. I've long heard that since the creation of the Clock Tower Academy,The dean has always been the same person.。
I didn't expect this to be true. Even if the world changes. The Tower was moved from London to the current Central Province, and the "Dean" is still the Rector of the Tower.
However, the other party is the director of the clock tower, what can he do to find himself?
Zhou Yao's first thought was the battle that had just ended. The director of the clock tower and the association were closely related, most likely for the same thing.
"Yes, it's not right. Half right, to be exact. "Dean," said mysteriously.
"I don't have time to take time with you, if I don't want to say it, I'll leave and take someone away." Zhou Yao said, and he was about to get up.
"Hey! Wait a minute! I'll just say it! ”
The expression of the "dean" immediately collapsed, and he immediately kept saying without caring about his temperament.
What he was most afraid of was this, and Zhou Yao didn't give him any room for negotiation. Take Icarus and Hulian Bei as "hostages". In order to ensure that Zhou Yao can listen to him well. After all, Zhou Yao only had a fight with the Magic Association on the front foot. I don't have a good impression of someone like him.
The most important thing is that he has a request from Zhou Yao, and there is something that only Zhou Yao can do......
"Then let's talk about it." Zhou Yao was impatient.
"Okay. Before I say that, I want to ask you one thing, did you go to London in the Old World some time ago, and settle your grudges there......"
As soon as the words of "Dean" were finished, Zhou Yao's eyes immediately widened.
"You were the magician at that time?!" He finally remembered where he had seen the other man, the same magician he had met on the stage created by Jack the Ripper's resentment.
"That's right, that's me." "Dean" admitted.
"What the hell is going on?" Zhou Yao frowned.
So, Jack the Ripper was killed by the other party? The resentment of staying in the Old World London also has something to do with the other party? Why? Has something to do with Sakiya?
A series of greetings poured into his heart, causing Zhou Yao's brows to furrow deeper and deeper.
"Seeing that you have a lot of doubts, I can answer you when you say it." "Dean," he said with a smile.
"Jack the Ripper was killed by you?" Zhou Yao is also not polite. Immediately asked.
"It's not. The reason you saw me at that time was because I temporarily replaced the magician who killed Jack the Ripper. ”
"Why replace?"
"Because I sensed you getting into the grudge of Jack the Ripper."
"Jack the Ripper's grudge will return to Old World London, and it's because of you?"
"That's right."
"Why are you doing this, is it related to Sakiya?"
"Nope. I didn't know the maid existed until then. I placed my grudge there to act as a seal. ”
"Seal?!"
Zhou Yao was taken aback, and immediately felt that if he continued to go deeper, he would definitely get into trouble.
"What, it's getting late today, or we'll go back first, and we'll talk about it another day." Zhou Yao wanted to leave.
After the matter of the magic weapon is settled, he will go to the University of Britain. But there is no effort to get involved in the trouble, and it is also a trouble related to the Magic Association.
Unexpectedly, just as he was about to get up, Hu Lianbei grabbed the corner of his clothes again, and looked at him pitifully.
"Help, uncle! Otherwise, there is danger! Hu Lianbei pleaded in an unfamiliar language.
It seemed like the first time she had spoken formally, and it had been a "um" or something at most.
"Who's in danger?" Zhou Yao was very surprised, Hu Lianbei would open her mouth to help the "dean" speak.
"In the past, when the timing had not changed, I met Hu Lianbei. What she meant by danger was that if it continued like this, the University of Britain would be in danger. ”
"Dean" first explained the relationship between the two, and then said solemnly.
