Chapter 178: Mysterious Girl
(Ask for a recommendation ticket!) )
There is an 'outside' in this world. Legend has it that on the 'outside' there is an all-powerful power and an all-knowing truth. In other words, it is the existence of what is known as the 'Vortex of Roots'. All magicians aim for this, but almost all of them fall behind halfway through.
The reason is simple - one person's years are not enough to offset the time to achieve miracles.
Even if you put your hopes in the future generations, as a magician, the first thing you have to learn is to give up. Yes, it's a goal that's so difficult to the point of despair.
Speaking of which, according to the descriptions in some relevant books, there is still an 'inside' in the world. The magic circle in the West is called the 'Fairy Realm', which is similar to the land of the elves recorded in ancient Irish mythology, and there are countless legends derived from it, but the most famous is probably the holy sword that King Arthur received from the fairy of the lake.
There is also a theory that the fantasy species that have disappeared from this world have migrated there.
Regarding these deeds sealed in history, Ling Yi said that he didn't care that it was a lie. Although things that are too mysterious will give people an illusory feeling of 'not existing', what if you have witnessed or touched a trace of mystery? At that time, mystery was no longer an unattainable fantasy, but the ultimate goal of existing as an established fact.
It may take a lifetime. But once you have this idea, you are not far from failure.
Ling Yi still remembered that indescribable existence.
and the sight of encountering it.
Truth be told, it's not visually presented. However, its presence, and the terrifying notions of united regions, unity, and infinity, brought Ling Yi a terrifying horror that he had never thought could exist at any time or place in the timeline.
There was no doubt that it was impossible to recognize, but that almost forced encounter allowed Ling Yi to see the other end of the world.
In short, the outer side of the world.
Of course, it can't be the root cause. It can only be said that its essence is on the outer side of the worldly realm, and all the information that makes up it is composed. It is very likely to hide somewhere in the inner side of the World Realm (Fairy Realm).
After all, it is a 'taboo'. Ling Yi would think so. And rightfully so.
The path to the outer reaches of the world has been proven to be an established fact that it is not a miracle and cannot be achieved. So, lower your eyes and start with the 'Fairy Realm' first. You may be able to get something unexpected.
That's why. Ling Yi returned alone to the world realm where he had fought alongside Karna.
Lily has an investigative mission on her part. C.C. as a support person. It's the perfect match of force and intelligence, and the only thing that's worrying is whether the two of them will get along
☆
This is the headquarters of the Magicians' Guild. London, the highest institution of learning for young magicians struggling with their ambitions? Clock Tower.
As the leader of the Ermelo School, that man has been hiding behind the scenes to research and organize the work, not only is it as simple as not seeing a figure for a day, except for the inheritance of Kenneth. Ermello. Aqipolud's 'legacy' appeared at times, and then disappeared completely, although it was claimed that in the work, everything has its agent, a blonde girl with a beautiful face but an indifferent attitude is in charge of handling, but it has disappeared for nearly ten years in one breath, and the instructors and students of the clock tower have become accustomed to it from the beginning of the discomfort.
With a cold temperament, a beauty like an Eastern European goblin, and a strict and cold educational style, many factors come together, and this agent girl is unexpectedly welcomed by a large number of students, and has been the most popular among tutors for several years, and even many tutors can't help but breed admiration. Although she is not a magician, let alone good at magic, she knows the knowledge and theory of magic well, just like those old antiques that have lived for decades.
At first, many students despised her because of her appearance of sixteen or seventeen years old, and even some of her mentors challenged her. This was obviously an unequal and time-wasting move, but the girl solemnly agreed.
No matter what the challenge, she accepts it.
Then, with an invisible sword, they were taught how to respect.
Although some people keep saying that this is not what a regular magician should do, and that magic should be used to decide the winner.
However, she graciously admits that she is not a magician, but a knight. This remark caused a storm at the time, but it couldn't shake her status as a mentor for only one reason - the man's agent.
A student who was once just an unknown student, and later in the cruel war that replicated the scenery of the gods, defeated many powerful opponents and ascended to the throne of the victor. Kenneth who died in that war. Ermello. Aqipolud was the leader of the Ermelo school at the time, and his death almost brought down the two first-class magicians of the Aqipolud family and Ermello.
The reason why it is said to be almost because the man sent back the magic mark and inherited the leader of the Ermelo school, which can be described as a moment of glory
"So, after all this time, what are you doing when you come back?"
It was a delicate girl who spoke. It gives people a sense of weakness and an ethereal feeling far away from the fireworks of the world.
Light, soft, and charming blonde hair rests on her head in a dignified manner, and her slender body wears an antique dress, although it is a complete match for the grooming of a deep daughter, but the aura she exudes is as if the air in the whole room is tense just by staying in place, and it looks solemn and awe-inspiring.
In this icy atmosphere that was enough to scare off any student, there was one person who sat leisurely on the soft sofa with a cup of hot black tea on the table. This is a young man, who makes people assert that he will not be more than twenty years old, with detailed facial features that do not make people feel feminine, and when paired with soft black hair, it is a perfect work of art. The aristocratic interior combined with the laid-back atmosphere creates an elegance that even the most famous painters cannot depict.
"Don't say that, Arthur. Anyway, I'm also the boss of the Ermelo school, so come back and take a look, won't you be able to relax a little more? Ling Yi said while tasting the top black tea sent by the European royal family, pretending to be an innocent.
"You must have forgotten who threw me a mountain of troubles and disappeared without a trace."
Artoria is in the same state she was in a few years ago when she faced those rare heroes.
The cold gaze of the people, the voice that was several times lower than the impression was several times lower, everything showed that she wanted to summon the love sword to slash the man in front of her.
"Isn't that how it should be as a secretary? Besides, the mentorship in the past few years has also been very helpful to you. ”
"My knighthood will not be shaken by the devil's way."
The girl's sonorous assertions.
"That's a shame."
"It's a pity that you are a human being! First, I got into a bunch of magic experiments by myself, and just cleaned up the scene, do you know how much thought I put into it? And then somehow dropped the sentence 'the rest of the matter is up to you', and then disappeared without a trace, and the new leader of Ermelo is studying magic in a waste of time except me, I'm afraid that the new leader of Ermelo is studying magic without sleep or food, it is really respectable perseverance or something, it is even more ridiculous than the voluntary surrender of the enemy I encountered! ”
Listening to the girl's endless complaints, as if to vent the anger that had been accumulated over the past few years, Ling Yi only shrugged his shoulders and wordlessly admitted what he had done.
After a long time, Artoria, who was panting rapidly, glared at Ling Yi again.
"Putting that aside, are you coming back this time to fulfill your obligations? If you can really reflect on it, I promise as a knight that I will never leak half a word of information that is not good for you. ”
"Huh? I remember, isn't it also the duty of a knight to maintain the dignity of his master? ”
"Well, it looks like it's going to take a little time to correct your bandit noa."
The girl sighed. The dull hair on his head also hung down weakly.
That's it for the opening remarks. I came back this time mainly because I had a few things to do, and for this I had to rely on all aspects of the clock tower's resources. I'll leave it to you for the rest of the negotiations, I'll go to the lab first. ”
Ling Yi put down the empty teacup and said casually.
"Huh?"
The girl's face was shocked—
The moment the fists clenched, the air suddenly froze.
Turbulent magic burst out from her slender body, but fortunately she could still restrain herself, otherwise this room would definitely have to be renovated.
"Calm down, my capable and elegant secretary, you must know that the world is still very beautiful, and it is not a big deal to have a lazy and troublesome master."
Ling Yi slowly retreated while persuading.
He knew very well that moving a few meters would be the gate, and it would be better to retreat first anyway. Anyway, this guy's temper seems to be worse than before, although the angry lion cub has a different style, but it is based on the premise of not being angry with himself.
That's when —
The door suddenly opened, and there would not be even the most basic knock.
"Wow."
The person who opened the door had apparently not expected a tragedy to take place in the room.
Ling Yi felt that someone had bumped into him from behind, and he didn't feel pain, but the person who hit him let out a mixed scream of surprise, and then- I'm afraid he fell.
Artoria was stunned when such an unexpected thing happened, and the huge pressure that filled the room was suddenly empty.
Ling Yi looked back and saw a girl about fifteen years old covering her nose and sitting on the ground without a ladylike image. She has porcelain-white skin and long, stranded hair. And a pair of fiery red eyes that were enough to completely overturn the above illusory impression were glaring at Ling Yi with a resentful gaze. (To be continued......)
