As everyone had eaten and drunk to their heart's content, finally, the pudding was gone, and Char stood up again.

"Well, now everyone is well fed and drunk.

Let's go and rest first, the class won't start immediately.

You'll have a full day tomorrow to familiarize yourself with the school and make the wand purchase. ”

The door on one side was pushed open, and out came a few goblins with gas lamps, where they each called out to the students of their respective houses.

The parents don't live in the student dormitory, and they are guided by another elf alone.

The first-year freshmen of Merlin College followed the leprechaun out of the auditorium through the noisy crowd and up the marble staircase.

Ebth felt like his legs were filled with lead, but it wasn't that he was too tired, but that he was too full to eat, so he couldn't sleep.

The portraits in the hallways also seem to have some magic, whispering and pointing as they pass by.

There were also many hidden mechanisms inside the castle, and he was not at all surprised when the leprechaun led them through the door hidden behind sliding baffles and hanging draperies.

They yawned and shuffled up many stairs with heavy steps, and soon they came to a corridor at the end of which hung a portrait of an old wizard in a hat, a portrait of Merlin painted by humans of this era.

"Password." The wizard in the portrait spoke.

"Merlin's beard." The goblin said.

Part of the castle's mechanism was designed by Tony, so obviously, it was Tony's handiwork.

The painting slowly moved forward, revealing a circular hole in the wall, and they all crawled through it.

Then they found themselves in the common room, a circular room filled with soft armchairs with a short-haired carpet underneath and a fireplace on one side.

"On the left is the boys' dormitory, on the right is the girls' dormitory, and each door has your name on it, so you can go up and find it yourself."

People walked through the door, behind which was a spiral staircase, apparently they were in a tower, and through the staircase they found their room.

It was a simple five-person room, with dark planks on the floor and walls, five beds with four pillars, and crimson velvet draped from them.

Very cosy room, although there is no private bathroom, but there are many public bathroom spaces with partitions on the ground floor.

In Char's world, even Bai Zuo's cell is a 20-square-meter single room, with complete toilets and bathrooms, and all water, electricity, and heating networks.

But what about his dormitories?

None of this would have been a violation of the Geneva Treaty since World War II.

I've been in the rain myself, and I always have to cover others with an umbrella, so Char has also worked the accommodation.

Their luggage had been carried in by the goblins, and many of them didn't bother to care about these things, and they almost fell asleep when they were tired.

Helen, in particular, lives in a backward village somewhere in the Alps.

It was a very poor place, and the place where she slept was not really a bed.

Instead, in the attic, a straw-covered corner, a simple sheet was laid out.

At this moment, lying on the real bed, feeling the comfort of the delicate and soft home textiles, she even thought that she had come to heaven, as if lying in her mother's arms, and fell asleep deeply.

But there were some who were not asleep, and Abs sat at the window, looking through the window of the tower at the sea of clouds in the distance and the full moon hanging high in the sky.

He didn't actually inform his parents when he came to this school.

So in the case that most of the guardians came, he was one of the few people whose parents were there but the guardians did not come.

He used a confusion spell on his parents, making them think that he was attending a good college and that the university covered all his tuition.

One is that he doesn't want them to worry, and the other is because his parents are very loyal to the Panakya duke, and he can't figure out how to convince them to leave the Panakya family for a while.

So I don't want to expose the existence of the magic world, and wait until the day when he is really capable.

However, it is always a little uncomfortable to deceive his parents.

He came back to his senses and saw a familiar figure, on the roof of the corridor where the distant tower connected to the tower on the other side, where Gayward was sitting watching the moon in the sky.

One of the windows of the tower on one side was open, just over a meter from the roof, and he jumped down at the first jump, in fact, he could climb over it as well.

Abs thought for a moment, opened the window and climbed over to his side.

"Why don't you sleep?"

Gayward looked up at him, but then turned his head back and continued to look at the moon, without saying a word, looking deep.

Probably something tragic happened.

Abs thought to himself.

"You seem to have a lot of stories." "But I guess people always have to look forward, don't they?" ”

"Are you from the imperial capital?" Gay Ward asked.

Ebs nodded.

"Have you ever heard of the witches of the South?" Gayward continued.

"There is very little news from the south in the imperial capital."

Gaiward smiled disdainfully, "This group of politicians is really trying to cover up the news by all means. ”

"What's wrong with the South?" Abs asked.

"There, now it can only be described as purgatory." "Because of the war, many farmlands were barren, famine was everywhere, and plague was raging, and many people died of starvation or disease.

In order to cover up their mistakes, the politicians, together with the churches there, blame all their mistakes on an evil force, the witches.

My mother, on the other hand, was slandered as a witch and sent to the execution ground.

As far as I know, there are quite a few people in Blake who have been through the same way as me. ”

He spoke in a deep voice and began to tell Ebs his story.

As he spoke, Abs's face became more and more solemn, and then turned to anger and incomprehension.

"When you have experienced a time when you want to keep someone, but you can't do anything about it, you will eventually get a glimpse of the true meaning of death.

No matter how much you love someone, one day, a cold, unsparing death will eventually separate you. ”

Gayward's voice was slightly hoarse, "I can't look forward, those memories are dragging me back all the time. ”

"Then get stronger."

Gayward looked up at Abs.

He didn't say anything nice to comfort him, he didn't make any comments about it, he just said it quietly.

"In this place, it has become unimaginably powerful, so powerful that there will never be anything powerless to do.

That's what I'm here for. ”

Gayward's eyes lit up as he turned his head to look at the moon, "It seems that although we have different experiences, we have the same purpose. ”

"I think we should get along."

Ebth looked up and said, "I think so too."

"Sir?"

On the other side of the same time, in the faculty dormitory building in the middle of the dormitory buildings of the four colleges, Catherine looked at Merlin in front of her with some confusion.

He was looking out the window at the moment, as if he was looking at something, but Catherine and Haron followed his gaze and there was nothing outside.

"What are you looking at?"

"I'm watching fate." He muttered softly.

He came back to his senses and asked instead of continuing the topic.

"How do you feel about the accommodation?"

Catherine came back to her senses and looked around, the general decoration here is similar to that of a dormitory building, all of which are made of dark wood, with some differences that this is a single room, without five beds, with desks, bookshelves and wardrobes.

In fact, Haron also has a room of his own.

The castle complex is large and there is plenty of space for accommodation.

"Perfect, so perfect." Catherine said excitedly, "I've never lived alone in such a big place. ”

Catherine's tavern in the past said that it was a tavern, but in fact it was converted into a private house, and it had to take into account both commercial and civil, so there was a lot less living space.

Their family is basically a chase shop, not to mention crowded, there are many inconveniences, and they have never lived in a single room.

Char smiled, "You can also familiarize yourself with the school like those students tomorrow, and every night at ten o'clock, you need to carry a gas lamp to the dormitory to patrol around."

The school has a curfew after 10 o'clock, and students are forbidden to run around, which can be dangerous.

You also need to deal with everything that happens within the students. ”

Catherine nodded, "No problem. ”

"And there's that." Char looked at Haron, "You can advance some salary, go to the Dwarf Copperbeard or Vice Chancellor Tony Stark to get a prosthetic leg, except that it is mechanical, everything is the same as a real arm." ”

Mechanical prosthetics also require the use of alchemy, after all, a delicate technique such as being able to connect nerves is something that cannot be achieved by dwarven forging techniques.

In fact, there are many people among the dwarves who can both alchemy and blacksmithing, and the original nuclear fusion device was not completed by the alchemist named Punk alone.

Catherine was stunned for a moment, but then, she said excitedly, "Really? ”

But then, she reacted to the fact that the being in front of her obviously had no reason to lie to herself, and she said apologetically.

"I'm sorry, I'm a little out of shape."

Char didn't mind, but smiled, "Then, I hope you can get used to life here." ”

Then, slowly retreating from here.

Catherine came back to her senses, and she looked at it all in distraction, "I feel like I'm living in a dream right now, and we live on an island in the sky, in a castle like a palace.

There is such a beautiful room. ”

"It's all real." Haron reminded.

"Nonsense, don't I know?" Catherine gave him a blank look.

Haron smiled, he took a deep breath, and looked at everything around him, he actually felt similar to Catherine.

After leaving here, Char went straight back to the principal's office, which was still a tower, seven or eight meters high.

In the circular space, there is a desk, a soft sofa and a carpet.

He sat down in the chair behind his desk, leaning back comfortably.

There was a glimmer of light in his eyes, and everything in the school was revealed to him, and as night fell, all the parents of the students fell asleep.

Destiny is made up of the constant numbers and variables of countless living beings.

It is presented as a huge, endless, tree-like structure.

There is a major general direction in the growth of giant trees.

It is driven by the interweaving of countless fates, unconsciously propelled.

That's exactly what Char said, the torrent of history

He had told Isabel and Arthur more than once that no one could change the direction of the river.

But this "no one" does not include him.

Char has this ability, and that's exactly what she's doing now.

But changing the direction of the torrent is not something that can be changed by weaving the fate of one or two people.

Rather, the fate of countless people......
