"Look, isn't the pointer moving now?" said Mage A.

He seemed to have seen the minute hand move a square, but he was far away and he wasn't concentrating, so he wasn't sure for it. He waited for dozens of seconds, during which he only stared at the clock face, and just now, he did see the minute hand of the clock face move. He immediately shook Mage B and told him all about what had just happened.

"Is there one?" Mage B didn't pay attention, couldn't be sure.

Master A said, "Yes, it was 16 points just now, and now it is 18 points, you wait and see." ”

When Mage B heard this, he also stared at the clock tower together, and at the same time used magic to stimulate the area around his eyeballs so that he could see more clearly. Sure enough, after a few tens of seconds, the minute hand jumped above 19 minutes.

Mage B said, "They must be debugging the operation of the clock tower, you said that the people on the clock tower will not be staring at us from such a distance." ”

A didn't know what he meant, so he agreed, "Yes." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Mage B unleash an eagle eye spell on himself, staring at the clock tower.

Mage A looked at him speechlessly, and said angrily: "You just persuaded me, but now you yourself are looking at the clock tower with a spell." There's a teacher in there, and you're staring at it so hard to be aware of them. ”

Mage B didn't speak, stared at the clock for dozens of seconds, and then withdrew the spell. Mage A hurriedly asked, "What do you see?"

B said: "Although the second hand has been removed, the second hand has been moving, and if you look at the middle of the clock face, the innermost circle moves every second, but there is no reference, and it does not look obvious." ”

"Well, the clock tower looks like it's going to be ready. ”

"It should be. Now that the main body of the clock tower has been built, as long as the bell is debugged, it should be good. We'll wait and see what the clock can be adjusted to today. ”

Unbeknownst to them, this was the last commissioning, and if nothing went wrong, the bell would ring at noon and the tower would be finished.

At the same time, it was not only the two of them who noticed the abnormality of the clock tower, because the appearance of the sea dragon instantly stimulated the gossip of the mages here, and everyone had no intention of studying and working, so they gave most of their attention to the progress of the clock tower. In fact, as long as they don't go to the lake, theoretically the danger in the lake has nothing to do with them, but this can't stop people's curiosity.

During the commissioning of the clock tower, many people noticed anomalies, and rumors of the tower's recent completion have spread. Fortunately, the second hand was removed, otherwise they would have thought that the clock tower itself had been officially activated secretly.

It was soon approaching noon, and Wizards A and B had stopped drinking tea and started lunch. It's still in the original position, and I sit in one position all morning and drink water and eat melons, and I don't know if the boss will have an opinion. But fortunately, I had lunch here, and the mage's consumption is actually not low, especially the plate of melons and fruits, which are also melons and fruits in winter.

Mage A said while eating, "Why is this second hand back installed, no need to debug it? The clock is no longer moving, so there won't be any problems." ”

Mage A doesn't know if it's more pessimistic, or if it's a bit of schadenfreude in itself, but the words in his mouth aren't very beautiful anyway.

"Probably like us, it's time for lunch. Master B replied.

"We've been sitting here for so long, have you seen anyone come out? And why do you want to put the second hand back for lunch, it's not because the tower can't fit it. ”

"Perhaps, you can go and ask, and I know. Mage B was a little helpless, "Eat first, anyway, this clock tower will only have one result, if it is not built in the next few days, if there is no real problem, it will be built in a few days, in short, it will be built in the end." ”

Mage B cut a piece of smoked venison steak, gestured to A, and put it in his mouth: "The smoked venison here tastes very good, although it is smoked, but it doesn't look very woody, it has such a full juice, I don't know how to do it." ”

"If only there was sea dragon meat. Mage B took a bite of venison, and suddenly felt not very satisfied, "You didn't see that sea dragon last time, it occupied the whole square, and all the meat was removed, and it was almost enough for the whole town to eat, and I don't know where it ended up." It would be nice to have a chance to taste it, although it is not real dragon meat, but at least it has a touch with the dragon. ”

His words are a bit exaggerated, now, later people almost can't know how big the sea dragon is, in the legend, the sea dragon is getting bigger and bigger, there was only half of the square, and now the square can no longer fit, and as he talked, even the people who had seen the sea dragon began to blur the specific size of the sea dragon, and they thought that they had to at least occupy the entire square.

"Snort!" Mage A sneered, "This has something to do with a dragon, although it is called a sea dragon, but it is actually a snake, and it has no dragon blood. ”

"At least they're all called dragons, and it's not easy to see such a powerful demonic beast, let alone eat it. It's strange that such a big sea dragon didn't flow out of a little sea dragon meat this time. ”

"I guess it's all divided by the college's own teachers. Master A swallowed the meat in his mouth, picked up the glass, and was about to drink.

Suddenly, there was a loud bang of "Duang !!".

It was like a muffled thunder exploding in his ears, and with a shake of Mage A's hand, the water in the water cup immediately spilled out and splashed on the crotch of his pants.

"What's going on?" Mage A waved the water off his crotch as he looked at the source of the bell.

I saw that the source of the bell was the direction of the bell tower, and the hands on the clock tower had already begun to run, step by step, but they were firm and fearless, and I don't know how they could see from a mechanical structure to firmly feel this subjective feeling. The bell never stopped, and the "Duang!Duang!Duang!" rang non-stop.

The sound of the bell floated over the town, reaching the ears of the townspeople, and reverberated in the valley and forest, so that the rabbits on the mountain were startled, and immediately ran away, and after running a few steps, they found that there was no danger, and stopped and raised their ears to listen, but those large monsters felt that the bell was very irritable, and a black tiger roared in the direction of the academy, bent down slightly, and seemed to want to rush out, but in the end it didn't, turned around, and ran towards the depths of the mountain forest.

On the other side, the bell spread to the surface of the lake, spreading along the surface of the lake, it seems that even the water vapor on the surface of the lake is much fresher, the lake surface is flatter, the bell spreads farther, and one reaches a far, far away island, especially aftertaste. After the sound of the bell reached the bottom of the lake through the lake, the lake became uncalm, and a huge black shadow seemed to pass in the distance. However, the sound of the bell from the air into the lake lost a lot of energy, the sound was not so shocking, the lake was just a little restless, and immediately calmed down, as if nothing had happened, and no one had seen it.

Except for a mage flying in mid-air with a broken beard, he kept staring at the lake, but didn't say anything, and seemed to be confident that everything was under control.

Except for the first sound of being unprepared and being taken aback, the mood of the two of them has stabilized a lot, and listening to this bell again, it seems much more pleasant. The bell is very crisp and loud, listening to the ears, it seems that even the magic in the spiritual sea is a little eager to try, and it is much more lively.

"Is this already built? I thought it would be two days. Mage A sighed as he spoke.

However, in fact, not everyone is as peaceful as they are, many of the nine who stay in the academy, the grumpy, and the students of the academy are not so in awe of the people of the academy, and there is no notice when the bell rings for the first time.

Not the slightest bit of defense

There was not a single qualms either

That's how you appear

...

Many people were taken aback, and the grumpy ones began to scold, "If you are sick, you will ring the bell so abruptly and without notice, which will scare me a lot." ”

"That's it, what's going on, it's still knocking, knocking, is it broken. ”

Even for the good-natured, there were a few complaints, and on the other hand, it made the bad taste of the teachers who were still on the bell tower very satisfied.

However, Mages A and B were a little surprised, these people complained and even abused the teachers of the academy like this, aren't they afraid of retaliation?

Of course, the academy could not be so stingy. But now, all the students at the top of the tower are looking at McRae with some dissatisfaction, if it weren't for the fact that they couldn't beat them, it is estimated that they would have done it by now.
