Chapter 758: Clock Tower
The figure flashed.
The slender and thin figure rushed quickly from the wall, flying up the wall like a master of light skills, rushing towards Duanmu Huai, and at the same time punching out, blasting into Duanmu Huai's back heart. However, Duanmu Huai roared angrily, and then stepped on the ground with his right foot, and the violent shock wave suddenly scattered around him, and then in the wail, several figures flew out upside down and fell heavily to the ground.
"Okay, that's it."
Duanmu Huai stood up and spoke, and in front of him, dozens of young men and women were lying on the ground, crying bitterly. However, they still stood up in pain and respectfully saluted Duanmu Huai.
"Just get out of class if it's okay, remember the point I taught you."
Duanmu Huai moved his body and spoke, and the young magicians in front of him also bowed their heads again.
"Yes, Teacher."
Then they turned away.
"Whew......... I didn't expect it to be really interesting. β
Duanmu Locust moved his body and looked out the window, it was already early spring at this moment, and the branches outside had grown new young leaves.
It's been almost a year since they came to the clock tower.
It's been a tumultuous year for both Duanmu Huai and the Clock Tower.
First of all, it is Medea's teaching in the clock tower, which not only makes the families in the clock tower fall in love with it, but even those magic families who are not interested in the clock tower are eager to join it. Although it is said that in the past, the Clock Tower was not without magicians like Demon Marshal Zelrich and Sanzheng Seqing, but this kind of person belongs to the Divine Dragon, and it is more difficult for ordinary magicians to get their guidance than to ascend to the sky.
But Medea shows up in the classroom on time every day to teach, simply put, as long as you are willing to work hard, you can listen to the lectures of the magicians of the gods.
What could impress a magician more than that?
Because of this, the power of the clock tower has also swelled greatly, and the clock tower that has benefited from it is naturally even more blind to what Ermelo and Duanmu Huai and his party didββββ and it can even be said that even if Duanmu Huai wants to dig up the clock tower, as long as a reasonable explanation is given, they are not unable to agree.
So you see, the hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit, isn't that the truth?
Medea's teaching also profoundly changed the magic environment of the clock tower.
One of the most obvious is βββ magician's attitude towards the search for the root vortex.
As we all know, Medea was a magician of the gods, and the mystery at that time was not as barren as it is now, and if Medea wanted to enter the vortex of the roots, she just had to rub the door. But even so, most magicians in the god generation actually don't care much about this kind of thing, so why do modern magicians desperately pursue the roots?
Yes, this was also Medea's question, and she couldn't understand the point of modern magicians going after their roots. In fact, the magicians of the god generation did not learn magic for the vortex of the roots, but for the purpose of using it. The reason why Medea learns magic is very simple, she is the princess of Corsky, and she wants to protect the country, and it just so happens that Medea has a very rare talent for magic, and it just so happens that she also has an aunt who is a magician, this is really not learning in vain, isn't it?
As for the vortex of roots, the truth of the world, Medea has never thought about it, and it is better to look forward to a prince charming to marry her.
This kind of thing is actually very common in the Faren Continent, if you use the Feren Continent as an analogy, that is, the magicians in this world, almost everyone is delusional about becoming the second Karthas to ascend to the godsβββ in the Faren World, such people are regarded as mentally ill.
After all, none of the people who entered the Root Vortex came back alive, whether it was Zelrich or Aoko Aosaki, they just walked around the door, thinking that it was too dangerous inside and still didn't go in......... Well, that's what normal people think. Neuropathy wants to take the initiative to enter the subspace to send it.
So it's awkward.
Because for a long time, the clock tower has jokingly called those magicians who do not study magic and do not pursue the vortex of the root as magicians, which is a contemptuous term, mocking them for not knowing how to use magic to study the world, but only how to use magic to achieve their goals.
It turned out well, according to Medea, the magicians in the period of the gods were equivalent to magicians.
Because of this, after learning about the situation of magicians in the previous god era from Medea, some magician families began to consider whether to continue to pursue the vortex of the roots. After all, simply studying magic and going deep into the root vortex are two directions. Opening the door to the roots is a good goal, but many magician families can't do it.........
Therefore, many magician families have begun to think about whether their ideas are correct and whether there is still value in continuing to persevere.
After all, even the magicians of the god generation said that they had never considered entering the vortex of the roots, and even they didn't dare to go in.
What's more, it's not a mysterious god generation crawling all over the ground now.
This is actually a small change that Duanmu Huai instructed Medea to make, after all, there are so many magician families, he doesn't want any idiot blind cat to touch the dead mouse to open the door of the subspace, that is really difficult to clean up. Using this method to reduce the magician family who pursue the vortex of the root can also be regarded as a means of surrendering without a fight.
If other magicians dare to say that the Vortex of Roots is nothing to enter, you might as well think about something more practical, you have already been kicked out by the famous door of the Clock Tower. But of course they didn't dare to do this to Medea, on the one hand, the world of magicians has always been proud of its antiquity, and Medea existed for a longer time than these magic masters combined, plus she herself has the strength of a god-generation magician, and the benefits she brings to the clock tower, so a fool would be stupid enough to look for trouble in front of Medea.
On the other hand, it is also a good way for those families whose sunk costs are too high to give up, if there is a magician family that has given up on pursuing the roots, it means that they have one less competitor, right?
By the way, Duanmu Huai really wanted to find trouble with the Barsermelo family to make an example of the monkey, but the other party really died like a shrunken turtle and never appeared. According to Leenys, the Barthomero family did this to ensure their dignity in the clock tower. As long as they don't show up, there will be no possibility of failure, and they will not lose face as nobles.
I have to say that this shrunken turtle is really speechless.
Of course, Duanmu Huai is not idle and has nothing to do, he will not have a deep understanding of magic like Medea, but Duanmu Huai found after looking at the class schedule of the clock towerβββHey, this group of magicians actually teaches hand-to-hand combat!"
Well, that's good.
Seeing this, Duanmu Huai immediately praised these magicians, loyal melee combat is the best way to fight the enemy. And modern magicians learn hand-to-hand combat skills is also a kind of talisman technique, don't look at these magicians are thin, but when they open the magic circuit and strengthen their bodies, the physical fitness of these magicians is much stronger than ordinary people.
Of course, they still can't be compared with the Heroic Spirits, but in terms of pure numbers, they are already at the level of middle-level adventurers in the Faeron Continent, that is, the kind that can wrestle with mountain giants in close combat.
That's easy to do, Duanmu Huai decisively found the clock tower, saying that he wanted to teach melee lessons. For this monarch, the clock tower naturally did not dare to slack off, not to mention that this subject itself was only an auxiliary, not exclusive to any family, so Duanmu Huai easily got the teaching position of this subject.
It can be seen that no matter what world they are in, physical education teachers are not taken seriously.
Professor Duanmu Huai's melee combat course was also quite popular among students, and many students were dissuaded at the beginning, but those who were able to stay were considered to be determined and resolute. And to be honest, the magicians in this world are really not just exercising their bodies to learn melee combat skills, in the clock tower and even in the magician circle, assassinations, conspiracies, and betrayals abound.
Not to mention that there are some magicians whose magic is the beast magic that turns themselves into beasts, which itself pays attention to actual combat, so it naturally needs to be exercised and learned more.
After more than a year of teaching, Medea and Duanmu Huai are completely famous in the clock tower, not to mention Medea, Duanmu Huai is not good at stubble......... In the past year, those who wanted to trouble him were directly pressed and rubbed on the ground by Duanmu Huai, so that everyone knew that the two of the Ermelo family were not good partners.
However, Duanmu is still quite popular......... Well, although not as popular as Medea is.
Back in his office, Duanmu Huai sat on a chair, and Matthew hurriedly handed over a cup of tea.
"TEA, MASTER, PLEASE."
"Well, thank you, Matthew."
Duanmu Huai nodded at Matthew, Matthew has also begun to adapt to this era, she is now serving as a disciple of Duanmu Huai, by the way, Sakura and Lyenys are also in a good relationship now, and the two feel like sisters. And under the drive of Lenies, Sakura, who was still a little gloomy, gradually became much more lively.
By the way, she still exercises with Lorena every day, and Duanmu Huai can often see the two running along the Thames......... Well......... Forget it, that's fine.
There's always nothing wrong with exercising more.
"Knock knock."
At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and Duanmu Huai turned around, put down the teacup in his hand, and nodded to Matthew, who walked to the door and opened the door.
"Ah, Matthew, I'm sorry to bother you in your busy schedule, is the monarch here?"
"Here, please come in, Miss Fiore."
As he spoke, Matthew opened the door, and then Duanmu Huai saw a girl in a wheelchair, with long brown hair and a delicate face, with a clear and soft voice, appear in front of him.
"Fiore, what's the matter with me?"
Looking at the girl in front of him, Duanmu Huai raised his eyebrows, and the latter lowered his head with a little apology.
"I'm very sorry, Sovereign......... We......... Something went wrong. β
"Oh?"
Hearing this, Duanmu Huai's eyes narrowed.
During this year, Duanmu Huai and the Inquisition's reputation was very loud among the students of the Clock Tower, partly because of his own strength, and on the other hand, because of the change in the course of the Ermelo familyβββ they did not hesitate to fund the research of many magicians, not to reach the roots, but to be evaluated by Medea as interesting.
To put it simply, as long as a magician finds Medea with his family's secret technique, if Medea thinks the secret technique is interesting, the Ermelo family will give a certain amount of support. βββOf course, this is just to cover up the real purpose of Duanmu Huai, after all, the "Chaldean" plan of the Animsfia family belongs to one of them, if Duanmu Huai directly chooses the Chaldean plan, then those old foxes will definitely find out, and if the Chaldean plan is one of the secret studies invested by Duanmu Huai, it will not be very eye-catching.
So you see, the tree still has to hide in the woods, right?
Of course, this is also because Duanmu Huai has enough money and enough to squander, otherwise he won't be able to play this strategy.
Interestingly, Fiore's Fervegi family originally belonged to the Thousand Worlds Treeβββ which was an Eastern European magic organization that visited Einzbelen's house in the name of making dolls, just like Aozaki Orange. Originally, the Thousand Worlds Tree tried to break away from the Magic Association and go it alone, but after the news of Medea came, the magician families in Eastern Europe were attracted by the news that the clock tower had a heroic spirit, and the Thousand Worlds Tree died without a problem.
Fiore, as the patriarch of the Vervegie family, also came to the clock tower, hoping to get Medea's help.
Fiore's qualifications as a magician were top-notch, but it also became a source of her pain, as her magic circuits were located in her legs and had mutations, which also made Fiore unable to walk and had to rely on a wheelchair to move. In order to walk, Fiore must give up her identity as a magician and become an ordinary person. This made her unacceptable in any way, so after learning of Medea's existence, Fiore went to the clock tower, hoping that Medea would help her.
With Medea's methods, it was not difficult to heal Fiore's legs, and Duanmu Huai also made a request, hoping that the Vervegi family would become a vassal of Ermeiro, to which Fiore nodded and agreed.
She is now in a wheelchair simply because she is not fully accustomed to walking.
"What's wrong?"
Duanmu Huai remembers very well that after Medea's treatment was completed, she promised Duanmu Huai that Duanmu Huai would immediately move the Fervigi family here, of course, having said that, in fact, there were few people in the Ferviji family itself. Now it looks like things have changed?
"Yes, the spirit veins we bought......... There seems to be a problem. β
If the magician wants to move, he naturally chooses the spirit vein as the location of the workshop. The same is true of the Vervegie family, who acquired a low-class, not-so-eye-catching spiritual vein through the Clock Tower, and then moved the family there.
It was only after this that Fiore realized that something was not right about the land.
After careful research, she found that she could not solve this problem, so she came to the clock tower and asked Duanmu Huai and Medea for advice.
"Oh? What's going on? β
"This ..............."
Faced with Duanmu Huai's inquiry, Fiore paused.
"The inhabitants there......... Doesn't seem quite normal. β
