Infinity Throne

With a "bang" behind him, the door was locked.

Yi Lin simply twisted it but did not unscrew it.

He gave up.

If you don’t have to refuse, just accept it!

Inside the room is a luxurious bathroom with an area of ​​approximately 30 square meters.

At the end of the spotless mahogany floor is a large solid gold bathtub that can accommodate five or six people.

The golden light made Yi Lin squint her eyes.

On the stone walls with clear lines, lifelike animal reliefs spit out steaming water from their mouths. Although Yi Lin felt quite uncomfortable, she had to say that the decoration here was really luxurious.

There is a European classical luxury atmosphere everywhere.

In the corner of the room, there is a thread-carved wardrobe. Yi Lin opened it and saw many new sets of clothes inside. The clothes come in a variety of styles, including modern formal suits, tuxedos, Victorian aristocratic attire, and even lace princess dresses.

"By the way, why do you even have skirts? Is it to satisfy the weird hobbies of special people?"

Yi Lin randomly picked a casual suit and hung it on the shelf next to the bathtub.

While taking off her clothes, Yi Lin lowered her head, thoughtfully.

He opened his palm, and in his palm was a crumpled note.

This is the note that the tuxedo butler, Cerberus, quietly stuffed into Yi Lin's palm when he grabbed Yi Lin.

Yi Lin silently spread out his senses, and after confirming that there were no shameless prying eyes around him, he carefully unfolded the paper ball.

Three letters were written on it in scrawled ink.

——"RUN".

The translation of this word is very subtle.

roll?

Walk?

Uh... move?

This word seems to have different meanings in different contexts.

Yi Lin flicked her wrist and put the strange note into the storage space.

"Oh~"

After Yi Lin stripped naked, she lay comfortably in the bath water with a suitable temperature, washing away the dust and fatigue along the way.

While taking a bath, Yi Lin was distracted, thinking about the meaning of the note.

He crushed a card, and a glass of ice drink appeared out of thin air, floating next to Yi Lin.

After a while, Yi Lin felt that it was not satisfying enough, so she took out a fruit plate that had been prepared in advance, floated on the water, and drifted with the current in the bathtub.

"Master, do you want a back rub?"

Gayageumimi ran out at some point, covering her eyes shyly with her hands, but her bright eyes were accidentally exposed between her fingers.

"Let's wait until you can rub it."

Yi Lin soaked in hot bath water, drank iced drinks, and ate fresh fruits, enjoying herself inexplicably. In addition to Gayageumimi, Yi Lin called out Bai Xiaoyi and Nie Hongxiu at the same time. Obviously, except for Gayageumimi, Bai Xiaoyi and Nie Hongxiu seemed to be a little reluctant. After all, it was Yi Lin's bathing time. They both turned their heads, looking very embarrassed.

Yi Lin did not intend to let the three mother spirits misunderstand, and immediately expressed her thoughts.

"That's it!"

Bai Xiaoyi and Nie Hongxiu breathed a sigh of relief after Yi Lin explained. It turns out that Yi Lin did not intend to do anything evil on such a delicate occasion.

So the three mother spirits nodded at the same time and agreed. One of them faced up, one faced down, and the other moved horizontally. They penetrated the wall from different directions and left the room as quickly as possible.

"Oh~"

"Yeah~"

"Hiss~"

Yi Lin quickly switched the angle of view, one was Xiaomei, the other was Xiaohong, and the other was Xiaobai, and she was very happy to watch.

Twenty minutes later.

Yi Lin opened her eyes, and saw the three little female spirits returning safely with resentful faces. Yi Lin cleaned the fruit cores and peels in the bathtub, put on a handsome suit, and arranged her makeup in front of the full-length mirror in the bathroom. Top it with an elegant bow and it’s perfect.

When the fragrant Yilin stepped out of the bathroom, Cerberus was still waiting quietly outside the door. It seemed like she had always been here and never left.

Cerberus said that Gu Tianqing and Miriam seemed to have finished their work long ago and moved to the VIP room. I don't know if it was Yi Lin's misunderstanding, but he always felt that Cerberus was complaining that he took a bath for too long.

“The environment here is nice.”

Yi Lin smiled.

Cerberus was silent.

She walked in front to lead the way for Yi Lin. Yi Lin didn't get a reply and didn't say anything more. He didn't mention the little note again, as if it had become a little secret between him and Cerberus. Yi Lin looked at Cerberus's back and thought secretly.

This trip to the Clock Tower seemed not as simple as Mirien imagined.

What does that note from Cerberus mean?

Is it a reminder?

Or simply for some reason, let them get out of the clock tower?

And for some reason, she couldn't express her disgust so obviously?

While Yi Lin was thinking, the two walked through the luxurious corridor and came to an empty room.

The room still adheres to the classic European style of decoration. The dimly lit room, the fancy colored glass chandelier, the burning fireplace on the wall, and the soft pure fur carpet all exuded the sour smell of money. In the center of the room is a long dining table common in wealthy European families.

Along the way, Yi Lin had no idea whether the Magicians Association was awesome or not. The intuitive understanding is that the Magicians Association should have been very rich.

The dining table is approximately ten meters long and three meters wide, and Gu Tianqing and Miriam have already dressed up and are waiting quietly for the table.

Gu Tianqing was wearing a dark tuxedo, which was somewhat similar to Cerberus's style. He even pretended to be wearing a black top hat, and his white-gloved right hand was unconsciously playing with a gold-encrusted cane, which was extremely luxurious.

"Pretending."

Yi Lin sat down next to Gu Tianqing speechlessly, thinking that if she could wear a skeleton gentleman's suit, she would look so handsome on you.

"hehe."

Gu Tianqing smiled and heard Yi Lin's whisper.

Miriam took off her armor and put on a white pleated princess dress, with lace gauze gloves on her slender but powerful arms. She truly deserves to be a descendant of the aristocracy. Putting on the princess dress, she looks as if she really is the daughter of an ancient European family. She is full of pride and nobility. If it weren't for the faint murderous look on her face, people would have mistaken Miriam for a frail noble lady.

Both of them seemed to be waiting for Yi Rin.

The three of them finally took their seats.

Cerberus bowed and said, "Please wait patiently for the three distinguished guests." After saying that, Cerberus silently walked out of the VIP room through another door.

In the empty room, only Mirien, Yi Lin, and Gu Tianqing were left.

The three of them exchanged quick glances. They did not communicate verbally, and in the brief eye contact, they all seemed to express that they did not understand the purpose of the Magician Association's torment.

But Mirien was asking for help after all, so she could only grit her teeth and endure everything.

Cerberus didn't keep the three of them waiting too long.

After about a few minutes.

There was movement from the door Cerberus left.

The sound of wheels grinding on the wooden floor echoed in the empty corridor and entered the VIP room.

Cerberus pushed a wheelchair steadily and slowly entered.

Sitting in the wheelchair was a pale-faced blond boy who looked to be only fifteen or sixteen years old. The young man's facial features are very delicate. He wears a pair of black-rimmed glasses, and his eyes are as green as gems. Behind the lenses, the green light shines, which is particularly eye-catching. Although the boy looked very young, when the boy's face appeared in front of Yi Lin's eyes, Yi Lin couldn't help but frown slightly.

I don't know why, but the first impression the boy gave to Yi Lin was not that of a young boy's vigor, but rather the vicissitudes and morbidity of an old man.

"The descendant of the ancient knight king, Miriam Artoria X Pendragon,"

"A stranger from the east, Mr. Yi Lin,"

"The wise Mr. Gu Tianqing,"

"Clock Tower, you are welcome."

Cerberus pushed the blond boy in the wheelchair and sat down opposite Yi Lin and the others. The young man's green eyes swept across the faces of the three of them. With a smile on his face, he said their names.

After pushing the young man to the dining table, Cerberus silently left behind him, as if he was not worried at all that the three visitors outside the clock tower would have any evil intentions towards the young man.

"Oh, sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. I am Bartholomew Dylan. I am one of the existing monarchs in the clock tower."

"monarch?"

Yi Lin asked in a low voice.

Miriam frowned slightly and explained in a low voice: "The Magicians Association is an orthodox magician academy. Since ancient times, they have been committed to passing on the 'occult science' and cultivating generations of magicians. It is said that magicians There are a total of twelve disciplines in the association, and the leaders of each discipline are the twelve 'monarchs' who serve as the ruling class and stand at the top of the Magicians Association."

"Oh? You know?"

"I am a descendant of the Pendragon family, and some of the legends and information about the Magicians Association are circulated in my family. Today is also my first meeting with the 'Monarch'."

Bartholomew Dylan gently pushed the frame on the bridge of his nose and stared at Miriam a few meters away. In his green eyes, there was an inexplicable look, and he smiled slightly and said: "Milian Arturia is ten meters away." Shi Pendragon, we finally meet."

"you know me?"

Miriam's hair trembled.

The blond boy, Bartholomew Dylan, shook his head slightly: "No, but you may not know that your Pendragon family has a deep connection with the Magicians Association."

During a brief conversation between a few people.

Cerberus seemed like a real housekeeper. She gracefully pushed a dining cart and re-entered the VIP room.

After opening the semicircular stainless steel cover, steaming black tea and exquisitely shaped snacks were served separately.

"You're welcome!"

Miriam said you were welcome, but she moved her hands faster than anyone else. Her hair twitched, as if she recognized the delicious food in front of her, and she ate it immediately.

Cerberus stood next to Bartholomew Dylan again, like an unknown shadow.

"Artoria...the tenth life." Bartholomew Dylan smiled and said, "I already know your request from your letter."

Miriam, who had snow-white cream on her lips, raised her head, with a determined face, and said as she ate: "I beg Lord Bartholomew to take out the glory of the Pendragon family from his body. For this, the Pendragon family is willing to Pay any price.”

As she spoke, Mirien pointed her finger at Yi Lin beside her.

When Gu Tianqing saw this scene, she covered her mouth and laughed secretly.

"The 'Avalon' that was lost again fell on the people of the East again. Ha, what a wonderful coincidence." Bartholomew Dylan whispered to himself. He closed his eyes and seemed to be thinking about whether to answer or not. About ten seconds later, Miriam had finished eating the exquisite snacks in front of her. Bartholomew Dylan opened her eyes again and said the answer: "Unfortunately, you are late."

"What!"

Miriam's face became a little more excited, and she didn't care about snacks. She came here with high hopes, just to find a way to remove the "Avalon" from Yi Lin's body. She even sent a letter in advance, and the Magician Association also received a reply saying that it was agreed.

But she didn't expect that when she worked so hard to bring Yi Lin here, Bartholomew Dylan would give this kind of reply.

Yi Lin, who was firmly seated in his seat, silently put on the hanging ring under the table - he was worried that Miriam would turn her back and deny anyone else. Yi Lin would not be arrogant enough to think that the favorability he gained from Miriam was enough to exceed the level of "King's Glory".

Yi Lin was mentally prepared instantly.

Although Miriam is now wearing a princess dress, Yi Lin estimates that this will not affect her speed of drawing the sword at all.

But if we really fight, who is afraid of whom?

This is not his territory, Yi Lin will not restrain himself.

Even if this place is blown up, Yi Lin won't feel any pain at all.

"But," Bartholomew Dylan changed his tone and smiled: "It's not completely impossible."

Miriam calmed down. She also felt that she had reacted a little too fiercely. She whispered an apology and sat down again.

At this moment, Cerberus, who was standing next to Bartholomew Dylan, leaned over and whispered something in the boy's ear.

The young man nodded: "It's getting late, and the reasons are too complicated. I will explain it to you personally tomorrow."

After Bartholomew Dylan finished speaking, he yawned and looked exhausted.

The hour and minute hands of the clock coincide exactly and are fixed at midnight.

"Please wait a moment, I will arrange a place for the three of you to rest."

Cerberus left these words and pushed Bartholomew Dylan to leave.

before leaving.

Bartholomew Dylan suddenly seemed to remember something and reminded: "There are many hidden magic mechanisms in the clock tower. If an uninformed person runs around in the clock tower, it is very likely that the magic mechanism will be triggered and be in danger. I hope the three distinguished guests will pay attention."

Yi Lin patted Gu Tianqing next to her on the shoulder expressionlessly and tried to persuade her: "Did you hear me? I'm talking to you. Be honest and stop running around."

Gu Tianqing: "..."

It can be said that Miriam's mood was ups and downs, a little bad, and her hair was hanging down.

After sending away Lord Bartholomew, Cerberus arranged residences for the three of them. They still walked to the seemingly endless corridor, knocked on the wall, and each placed a room. Yi Lin discovered that there were indeed many rooms hidden on both sides of the corridor, but on the surface, the location of the door could not be seen, which was very strange. Yi Lin secretly speculated that this might be the secret of "magic", and he became more and more interested in this "technology".

The room decoration was very high-end, and Yi Lin lay alone on the soft bed, lost in thought.

Time passed minute by minute.

At two o'clock in the morning.

Yi Lin suddenly opened her eyes.

"You should have guessed that I won't be so honest, right? Bartholomew Dylan."
