Shape Moon, The Road to the Magician

The Magicians Association, as its name suggests, is a mysterious organization composed of a group of magicians who treat magic as a science, study magic, and explore the ways of magic.

The special departments that make up the Magic Association are divided into three organizations.

One is the Atlas Academy, which exists under the Atlas Mountains in Egypt. It is the temple of alchemists. Countless legendary magic rituals that go against the common sense of the times and transcend the common sense of magic are also created here. Even Wallachia Night, the former ancestor of the Dead Apostles, was an outstanding alchemist in the Atlas Academy when he was still a human.

The second is the huge mountain range wandering in the North Atlantic Ocean, the wandering Sea Podendes. That area exists in the otherworld of this world, and is mainly dedicated to the study of magic from the Age of Gods and deeper mysteries and taboos. Nero Kaos, the ancestor of the Dead Apostles, was also a magician from the"Wandering Sea", a primitive Nordic association.

The third place is where he wants to go, the Clock Tower, the highest school for magicians located in the London area.

The original intention of the establishment of the Magic Association was because magicians were afraid that the mystery would leak outside of themselves and gradually become popular and widely recognized common sense, so that the mystery they possessed would no longer be a mystery, and no trace would be left."strength".

That way they will also cut off any hope of reaching the source and retracing the path to the source.

Therefore, regardless of nationality or school, a special group of magicians who pursue their roots promotes cooperation, exchanges and mutual support (of course, in name only). Discrimination and disputes have never stopped.

The original intention of the Magic Association was to manage, conceal, and develop magic as its mission. To protect oneself from those who threaten oneself (the church, strange beings that punish magic groups other than oneself, and those who violate taboos, and the Dead Apostles), one uses force to protect oneself, and for the further development (some say decline) of magic, He holds research institutions and qualifications, and has enacted laws to suppress magic crimes.

Unlike the first two parts, which are hidden deep in the world, the third part of the Magic Association, the Clock Tower, is called the gate of the mysterious world and is open to all magicians.

The headquarters of the Clock Tower is located in the suburbs of London, England. There are eleven different disciplines in it. It can be called the highest institution of learning in the magic world. In the golden age, it was regarded as an important center of the magic world. Its influence can be Covering nearly 80% of the magic forces in Western Europe.

In addition to some mysteries hidden deep in the world, most magicians in Western Europe choose to join the Clock Tower for further training, while East Asia has its own system and mysterious rules. This is the mystery that the Clock Tower does not recognize local customs ( The so-called"spell""，"Alchemy"，""Exorcism") is knowledge and is despised for it.

But that is just the recognition of incompetent and shallow people. All knowledgeable magicians know that it is just another special magic system different from that in Western Europe.

What they know The pursuit of transcendence and immortality is what I call the origin.

I only claim this in order to stabilize the Clock Tower's status in the magic world.

In this academy, any talented magician can come here.

Study.

The entrance exam is not difficult.

All that is required is the person's magic qualifications and talents.

However, this is only simple for a magic family that has been passed down for many generations.

For ordinary first-generation magicians or those who have just started their inheritance, think It is still difficult to pass the Clock Tower test, but if you have a recommendation letter written by a senior Clock Tower person, such as a Lord, then you can enter it directly for further study without passing any exams.

——clock tower.

Although this place is called a school, it will never be safe or stable. After all, most of the so-called magicians are guys who go their own way and have no moral concepts. Some extreme guys even despise human beings and do not plan themselves in the human category. They expect these guys to follow the established rules or human moral concepts and live in peace. That was just a dream.

The current time has long passed the clock tower entrance examination time.

However, because Xia Yuan holds a letter of recommendation from the Clock Tower Ore Subject, Lord Kenneth El-Melloi Archipelud, he became a specially invited student to enter the Clock Tower without taking the exam, and he also had the opportunity to bring a follower into the Clock Tower. Clock Tower co-study qualifications.

But this qualification means nothing to him.

The mysterious world here is actually not beautiful, and no one would want to fall into this quagmire.

At least in his eyes, there was no one around him who was suitable to enter this hellish place.

……

……

After getting off the long-distance plane, Xia Yuan ended his more than ten hours of air travel.

He stayed at the Einzbern residence for about three months. After obtaining the knowledge he wanted, he boarded a flight to London and prepared to visit the Clock Tower.

After setting foot on London, a land that breeds magic, Xia Yuan glanced at the time on his watch, then opened the envelope and followed the route planned above to find his pick-up person.

Following the route indicated above, he quickly passed through the airport and came to a blue phone booth near the airport.

However, there was no trace of the person picking up the plane, which made him a little confused.

It was clearly agreed in advance that someone would be here to pick you up.

However, as a new arrival, he could not understand the intricate map of London. Maybe he was in the wrong place.

Therefore, Xia Yuan called Kenneth's phone number again and asked him to help arrange airport pick-up.

"Found it, it's this number."

Looking at the address book on his phone, Xia Yuan dialed Kenneth's number.

"Ding ding ding——"

There was a simple ringing tone, and soon the call was answered by the person on the other side.

"Hello, this is Ermelo Archibalud, who are you looking for?"

After the call was connected, a girl's voice came from the other side. She spoke fluent English.

Although she was a little unfamiliar, Xia Yuan still answered her seriously in English.

"I'm looking for teacher Kenneth Ermeloy Archibalud"

"teacher? Was he his uncle's student? But knowing this phone number, you should have a good personal relationship with your uncle. Wait a moment, and I'll hand him the phone right away."

The female voice on the other end of the phone responded.

"Well, this number, are you Xia Yuan?"

Kenneth's familiar and bitter voice soon came from the other end of the phone.

"It's me, Mr. Kenneth"

"Well...you've arrived in London. Move quickly, what? Haven't you seen that idiot Weber?"

The person who picked him up turned out to be Weber.

"I didn't meet him. I followed the map you gave me and walked all the way to the airport without meeting him. You must have told the wrong flight."

Was the flight wrong?"

"……"

Kenneth glanced at the clock, then turned to look at the calendar.

The date does seem to be wrong. I have made that guy's work schedule so full that I actually missed the airport pick-up time.

But if you make such a stupid mistake as missing your flight time, how can you say it?

Just put all the problems on Weber.

"Forget it, just wait at the airport for a while and I'll send someone to pick you up."

"Excuse me, I'll send you my current location right now."

After walking for a while with the suitcase, Xia Yuan sat by the phone booth on the roadside, waiting for the pick-up person to arrive.

Not long after,

Xia Yuan saw the luxury black car parked on the roadside, and soon came from The blond girl who walked out? No, she should be called a young girl. His eyes couldn't help but he knew the person in charge of picking up the plane. Of course, she was

Webber

's cheap step-sister. The development of history.

Now, she should still maintain a strange relationship with Kenneth as both an adopted brother and sister, and also as an uncle and nephew.

"Hello, are you Mr. Xia Yuan who just contacted me?"

Looking at Lenis, who was walking toward him with a smile, Xia Yuan stood up and nodded, took out Kenneth's recommendation letter from his pocket and handed it to her, and said politely:"Yes, I am Ken. Mr. Nice’s new disciple was recently accepted in Fuyuki City."

"Ah, are you a disciple? Not a student?"Lenice couldn't help but be startled after hearing this.

You must know that magicians attach great importance to inheritance, and the meanings of the two words disciple and student are very different.

Students, as long as they have heard it in Kenneth's lecture room All magicians in the class can be called Kenneth's students, but the disciples must accept the master-disciple etiquette and be approved by Kenneth. They are qualified to continue the path of magic that Kenneth followed in the future.

As far as she knows, Ken. Uncle Nice has never formally accepted a disciple, and the only one who is relatively close is Weber Wilster.���student, not officially accepted as a disciple, but the young man in front of him was actually recognized by his extremely visionary uncle.

This surprised her

"Okay, if you're sorry, my name is Lenise El-Melloi Archizolti. Just call me Lenise."Lenice introduced herself very politely.

"Okay, little sister Lenise?"Xia Yuan said tentatively.

Although it is a bit awkward to call a child like this, he is still quite resistant to calling a child of about six or seven years old a young lady.

"ah? Ha, you can call me whatever you want."

"Please get in the car and I will take you to the clock tower."

Lenice pointed to the black car parked behind her and made a ceremonial gesture of invitation to Xia Yuan.

"I'm tired."

The car started and drove towards the clock tower.

The space in the black car was larger than expected, and it was more luxurious. At least Xia Yuan had never ridden in such a car.

The space inside the car was very large and luxurious. Everywhere They are all full of luxurious temperament.

Because Kenneth came back alive from Fuyuki City, the El-Melloi family did not lose as it would in its normal development.

Lenis gave Xia Yuan a cup of tea. , smiled politely at him, and then asked:"Speaking of which, how did Mr. Xia Yuan meet my uncle and become his disciple?"

"Because my uncle is a genius, his vision is very high. Since you can be favored by him, I believe you must also have extremely high talents."

"Thank you very much. The encounter between me and Kenneth's teacher was just a coincidence.

Xia Yuan also smiled back and replied seriously:"I don't have an outstanding talent like Teacher Kenneth. I only relied on the favor of the goddess of fate and the help of my friends to get to this point." This is nothing to brag about."

Well, it's very low-key. Don't you have the arrogance of being a genius?

Xia Yuan, who was noticed by his uncle with great vision and accepted him as his disciple, claimed that he was just an ordinary person with good luck. This kind of Lenis certainly wouldn't believe it.

If he was really mediocre, how could Kenneth be so interested in him?

However, through the short conversations just now, she had a rough idea of the character of her uncle's disciple. He is humble, has no airs, and has a normal temper.

He is not like a magician, but he is indeed like an ordinary person.

But is this his true face or a disguise?

"You are joking, luck alone cannot win the approval of Lord El-Melloi.

Lenis continued to inquire:"Where did Sir Xia Yuan specialize in magic?" How many generations has magic been passed down to you?"

"Sorry, I have not been exposed to magic in the past.

Xia Yuan replied with a wry smile:"So I don't have any family background or magic inheritance accumulated through my bloodline. I am just a first-generation magician.""

This time it was Lenise's turn to be surprised.

���The first magician?! In other words, you have just stepped into the palace of magic?"

"Well, my path to magic just started half a year ago."

The first generation of magicians. This answer shocked Lenis.

Magicians are created through the accumulation of blood and knowledge over generations. The founders of most magician families are just ordinary scholars.

They put their research results The magic mark is passed on to future generations, and the descendants will continue to pass it on after studying it.

If the father is an excellent magician, the children born during his peak period will definitely be more suitable for learning magic than himself..

In this way, each generation becomes stronger, which means that the longer the magic family has, the more profound their magic attainments and inheritance will be.

This is how the current magic aristocracy exists..

To be recognized by his uncle as a first-generation magician and become his official disciple in such a short period of time, how terrifying is the talent of this young man who is probably not weaker than Kenneth ? ·El-Melloi Archipelud's magic prodigy.

The first-generation magician and disciple of the El-Melloi family... It turns out that

Lenis has probably guessed what Kenneth wants to do.

"It doesn't matter, Your Excellency Xia Yuan, to be favored by your uncle, you must have qualifications beyond imagination. Lenis smiled slightly and expressed her best wishes to Xia Yuan.

"I believe that the magic path you have created will surely go further and further as your blood continues to be passed down and accumulated from generation to generation, and finally you will achieve the goal of reaching the root."

"Have you reached the source?……"

In fact, that is no longer necessary.

I've already been there.

Xia Yuan didn't say much, nodded slightly, and also expressed his gratitude to Lenis:"I accept your good words, sister Lenis, and I hope you can get to the root one day."

"Same wish."

Lenice smiled back.
