Next, Shen Er, what's your business?

Chapter 211 London, Clock Tower
London, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is the capital of the United Kingdom, the largest city in Europe and the largest economic and financial center.

In 50 AD, the Romans established the predecessor of the city, Londinium.In the following 1000 years, the city was ups and downs in the tide of the times, destroyed several times and rebuilt several times, and finally there is today's London.

The core of the city has maintained the boundaries that have been divided since the Middle Ages. There are countless historical places of interest, such as the Tower of London, Towell Castle, St. Paul's Church, Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey, etc. Some buildings have a history of more than a thousand years .However, compared with the building to be mentioned next, all the places of interest and historical sites in London are just "younger generations". It is the core and headquarters of the Magic Association - the clock tower.

There are two major forces in the mysterious world, namely, as a secret organization of Christianity, a large-scale armed organization "Holy Church" established for the purpose of managing mystery and hunting heresies, and a self-defense group formed by people who study magic regardless of nationality or genre "Magic Society".

The Magic Society's role is to manage (nominally), conceal magic, and make its development a mission.To protect oneself from things that threaten oneself (the church, the strange existence that punishes the magic group other than oneself, and the person who violates the taboo) to protect oneself, and to hold a research institution for the further development of magic (or to prevent its decline). , enacted laws to suppress magic crimes.

The Magic Association is composed of three major departments, namely the Clock Tower in London, the Wandering Sea in the North Atlantic (Moving Stone Coffin), and the Atlas Court in Egypt (Giant Crypt).

Among them, the clock tower as the headquarters is the youngest, and its founders include many heretical magicians who were driven away by Atlas and Wandering Sea. There are two versions of the establishment time, one is BC, and the other is the second century AD. Either way is older than the name "London".Today, the clock tower has become the highest school in the magic world, gathering a large number of magicians.

When it was established, the headquarters was located in the basement of the British Museum, which is the oldest building in London. Later, due to the development of the organization and the city, it moved to a small town outside London.The town consists of more than 40 student dormitories and more than 100 teaching buildings.In the center of town stands the Clock Tower's original schoolhouse, which is also the symbol of the Clock Tower, a literal clock tower.

Now Shinji dragged his suitcase and stood in front of this tower, in the name of paying homage to the holy place as the heir of a small magician family in a remote area.He took out his camera and took a few pictures of his appearance, and then used his magic to control the camera to take a few selfies. Shen Er thought that this was a good time.

This scene fell in the eyes of the passing magician, and it became a symbol of not seeing the world, adding a bit of disdain to the sight. "

Little did he know that Shen Er also despised them:
"A group of people who haven't experienced wind and rain, who think they are academics—as expected, I don't get along with the mainstream of the magic world. Let's go to Weber's place as soon as possible, at least there won't be such an unpleasant atmosphere there."

Although the Clock Tower has the function of the power center of the Magic Association, its foundation is a huge magic academy.The dean has been the same person since the clock tower was built, but this person has long since left the world, so let's not talk about it for now.

Since the formation of the lordship system in the twelfth century, the clock tower has been composed of thirteen departments (divisions), which are overall foundation (Ⅰ), individual foundation (II), spirit (Ⅲ), ore (IV), animal ( Ⅴ), inheritance (Ⅵ), plant (Ⅶ), celestial body (Ⅷ), creation (Ⅸ), curse (Ⅹ), archaeology (Ⅺ), modern magic theory (Ⅻ) and the No.13 law and politics of management magician division.

There are various classrooms under the department, and the El Meloy classroom that Weber inherited is one of them.It originally belonged to the ore department under the leadership of Kenneth, and was taught by Kenneth himself, which is the signature of the department.But after Kenneth "disappeared", the ore department fell into the turmoil of power disputes without a leader, and the long-established El Meloy classroom was precarious and gradually declined. Two years after Kenneth "disappeared", it was abandoned by the ore department.

At this time, Weber, who returned to the clock tower, just completed enough credits and became a third-level lecturer, inheriting this classroom.The reason why a third-rate magician can inherit the classroom is because many families who are at odds with the El-Melloi faction think this is the biggest irony to Kenneth.

The classroom that was once most valued has declined, and it has fallen into the hands of "mediocre" disciples. I don't know how you, a "genius", feel.

However, no one expected that this "mediocre" could make the classroom look good in a short period of time.In the beginning, even the official department was not decided, and the lectures with few students were barely continued, but the extremely simple and easy-to-understand practical lectures became the new age (New Age) that cannot be accommodated in the clock tower. topics between.He even persuaded several lecturers who had failed in the power struggle to take the podium, realizing an unprecedented multi-faceted education system.

Although the current Elmeloy classroom is not very prosperous, it has gained a lot of fame and is unique in the modern magic department.

Shen Er found a female magician at random, called her sister a couple of times because of her age, acted cute, and asked the way to Elmeloy's classroom.

The block "Sla" of the modern magic department is a road that feels like it is patched.Although the streetscape on the west side looks a bit historical, modern buildings can be glimpsed from time to time on the east side close to London.The landscape is not so much without a sense of unity as it is to hide the wounds with bandages after major surgery.

There is a great relationship between the environment and magic, which can be seen from the classical style of the entire town where the clock tower is located.However, the Department of Modern Magic is the least valued department among the thirteen departments of the Clock Tower, and it is not as rich financially as the other departments.

Although I can't say all of them, the seven CDs in this world are determined by the budget, and the same is true in the world of magic.After all, the concept of money, which converts the value of the world into numerical values, is also mysterious and therefore helpless.The ever-inflating assets of the planet are a fantasy created by the collective unconsciousness of the concept itself.

"It's still the same sentence, money is not everything, but without money, nothing is impossible."

Shen Er, who had done his homework before coming here, sighed, while swaying around the ivy-covered brick wall, walked through the ramp, and walked towards the intersection.

Soon, the destination appeared in front of my eyes - the smallest teaching building in the headquarters of the thirteenth department of the clock tower.

It is said here that it is an affiliated facility of a certain university.By the way, some large departments, such as the teaching buildings of all basic courses, are directly disguised as universities, and the gap between departments can be seen.

The entrance hall of the teaching building is properly arranged, with the stability and taste valued by the British aristocrats, and there is no lack of embellishment with modern elements, giving people a sense of comfort in appropriate shades.

However, after less than a minute, this comfort was broken by a sudden scream.

PS: The position of the clock tower is rounded by the traitor himself. Mushroom gave two explanations directly, one is the underground of the British Museum, which is Chapter 4 of "Fate grand order", and the other is "The Clock Tower in 2015" " and "Second World Incident Book" said in the suburbs.
