Shape Moon, The Road to the Magician

Pass through deep and wide tunnels and pass under bridges where only prisoners can step.

This is not the Clock Tower, but an area underneath the British Museum.

For ordinary people, this place is just an archaeological building that stores many historical materials and has a lot of historical significance. But for magicians, there is more to the group than meets the eye.

It looks like a luxurious British Museum on the outside, but actually there is a huge complex of buildings hidden underneath.

In some hidden rooms of the British Museum, there are tunnels that only those on the inside know about.

Through these tunnels, you can reach the headquarters of one of the twelve departments of the Clock Tower, the Legal Affairs Department.

However, the scale of this hidden building complex is too exaggerated, and its momentum and appearance completely overwhelm the scale of the museum above.

If you really want to compare with this huge underground building complex, even the clock tower built outside will look mediocre.

Should we say that they are worthy of the Bartholomew family, which is known as the noblest among nobles? He is so wealthy that he actually built the judicial organs of this department to be so wealthy.

Although they are the facade of the Legal Affairs Department, these huge buildings are not just for luxury.

Some buildings that look simple on the outside actually house some dangerous and unforgivable people in the magic world.

Whether they are dead apostles, heretics, fantasy species, etc., they are all housed and imprisoned here. For magicians and fantasy creatures, this building complex is an outrageous asylum. Therefore, this area is also called a prison for fantasy creatures by insiders.

Even looking at the entire clock tower, I am afraid that only the Bartholomew family has the manpower and financial resources to manage such a place.

According to the Clock Tower's guilt and punishment standards, Xia Yuan is naturally a heinous guy. After all, he was charged with the unforgivable crime of shaking the foundation of magic.

In terms of punishment... deprivation of freedom, destruction of consciousness, and then making a specimen and soaking it in formalin, which is the so-called seal designation.

However, in this incident, Yulipis helped him attract most of the firepower, and the sealing personnel sent by the Legal Affairs Department have been regarded as the masterminds of this turmoil in the earth.

Xia Yuan and the other two magic followers were brought here as accomplices to be tried by the Legal Affairs Department. As for Artoria, she remained with them in her spirit form and could not be executed by the seal. observed by the observer.

In the eyes of the monarch of the Clock Tower, the cause of the ley line riots across London was caused by some irregular magic experiments conducted privately by Uliphis.

So he quickly dispatched his enforcers to interrogate Ulphis.

On the road, when he was surrounded by several designated seal enforcers sent by the Legal Affairs Department, Yulipis slowly got out of the car and looked at the several heavily armed enforcers who surrounded him. He did not do anything too much. The excuse is just to let them lead the way.

He himself will explain it to other monarchs.

As for what is a seal executor?

If Barthemero is the magician who rules over magicians, then the designated executor of the seal is the magician who punishes magicians.

They are all magic elites affiliated with the Law and Politics Department. Each member is proficient in magic and fighting skills, and their actual combat abilities are very good. There are also many magicians. Although their magic skills are not high, they are as good as Emiya Kiritsugu in using modern weapons to assist in combat. , cannot be measured by the means of ordinary magicians.

Now that they have even mobilized, it means that the final judgment has been issued and the Clock Tower has decided to take action. No matter how much excuses are made at this moment, it is meaningless.

And Yulipis didn't intend to defend himself. It would be better to say that even if these executors didn't come to him, he would go to the Legal Affairs Department to find them next.

The transformation of the magic world has begun, and no one can be absent.

This coming storm will also rewrite the pattern of the clock tower.

And you and we are all participants……

……

……

"I... can go with you……"

Facing several executors who were holding ceremonial costumes and surrounding him, Ulphis said this very indifferently.

These words shocked the executor who was already ready to take action. They looked at each other with expressions of disbelief.

Although they are very confident in their own methods, this operation also brought the highest-scale magic ceremony. But after all, the opponent is a veteran monarch from the Soul-Spelling Division. No matter in terms of strength or accomplishments, a young monarch like Kenneth cannot match the veteran monarch - Soul-Spelling Division Uliphis.

If they really want to take action, even if they join forces, they are not sure that they can successfully capture it. I'm not sure, it's not impossible for everyone to explain here.

"Are you serious?"

The leading executor asked doubtfully.

However, the development of the matter was so outrageous -

Yulipis just glanced at him indifferently and spoke again:"Don't let me say it a third time.……"

"Lead the way...what exactly happened during this period...I will explain it to them.……"

The words were shocking, and the executor did not expect that Ulphis would really be so cooperative.

You must know that these monarchs all come from corresponding famous families, and they are absolutely arrogant people themselves, and their magic attainments and strength have indeed given them the capital to be proud of.

Even the special combat magic dolls they sent out were all wiped out in just three minutes. The speed was so fast that even the impact had not had time to be transmitted back.

Faced with such an unheard-of situation, it is also difficult for them to claim to be the enforcers of sanctioning magicians.

They are ready for a fight with collective Uliphis. If something goes wrong and there are too many casualties, retreat immediately and go back with more men to deal with him again.

But the development of things is so fantastic.

The other party just agreed.

He was captured so easily and agreed to go with them.

This development feels very unreal to everyone

"Why...can't you hear what I said?……？"Ulphis's eyes became cold and stern

"Do you need me to treat your useless ears?……？"

The atmosphere solidified

"Don't dare."In the end, the leader of the executors lowered his head and answered.

"Then lead the way...remember that there are only three things that can happen……"

After saying that, Ulphis glanced lightly, then opened the car door and returned to the sedan.

"yes."

Seeing this monarch compromise, although it feels unreal, the executors did not dare to say anything more.

After all, no one is willing to use their lives to fight with an established monarch.

Their task is just to Just take Ulphis to the Legal Affairs Department and bring him back to the headquarters. Even if Ulphis goes back on his word later, it is none of their business, so the enforcers present nodded and drove the car to guide him. , Xia Yuan, who never got out of the car, looked through the glass at the car in front of him, then looked back at Yulipis beside him, and said

"Have everything been done properly? Lord Ulypheus"

"Don't worry... I have just asked my son-in-law to contact the Ore Division... the Celestial Division... and many noble families affiliated with us... again���The forces of this department...can take action at any time……"

Astronomy Department...

Xia Yuan was stunned when he heard the name. He was very familiar with the name of this subject.

The first director of the Human Security Agency Chaldea was a monarch from the Celestial Division (Animusfia), one of the twelve sects of the Magic Association and Clock Tower.

Unexpectedly, even he wanted to rebel... No, it should be said to be reform.

But it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter how much to him

"Well, let them know and let them handle the rest, just like usual."

"Don’t be arrogant or impatient, just sit in your seat and wait for the opportunity to come."

"No need to panic, no need to be afraid, as long as you choose to follow me, then……"

Xia Yuan's eyes were serious and he said in a calm tone:"We have no rivals in front of us."

"Yes... Your Majesty the Magician……"

Ulphis bowed his head and answered

……

……

Ta-ta-ta- a clear sound of footsteps came from the narrow and dark corridor.

"Well, where are you taking me now?"

Xia Yuan looked at the young woman in a smart suit walking in front of him, narrowed his eyes slightly, and asked these knowing words.

"Didn’t you say you were going to take me to the waiting room to wait for Lord Euliphis to come back? But why does this road seem to lead to a basement or something?"

"Shut up, you idiot!"

She glared at Xia Yuan fiercely. As an executioner, it was obvious that he did not have a good attitude towards the prisoners in charge.

The man in a suit behind her who also stared at Xia Yuan did not make a sound and just followed them silently.

While on guard, he also hid some kind of special knife in his sleeve to prevent Xia Yuan from making any small moves. These men and women were the two designated executors of the seal, one was responsible for guiding the way and the other was responsible for monitoring, and they also brought enough weapons. Everyone could have predicted that this situation would be wrong, but it is already too late.

Now that you are here, your life is not up to you.

This is the headquarters of the Legal Affairs Department, and no one can act wild here. Neither could the monarch.

Xia Yuan just smiled and didn't care too much. He stood between them and let the two staff lead him until he stopped in front of a room and the woman opened the door of the room. , revealing the dark and yellowish scene inside.

From this perspective, the contents of this room obviously have nothing to do with"office" or"lounge". The light yellow light bulbs hanging from the ceiling flicker on and off, and the hands on the wall The buckles and blood stains on the ground indicate that this is not a wonderful place. So the next development should be.

……

"Well!"

Before Xia Yuan could react, the capable woman in a suit in front suddenly turned around, turned around and punched him in the abdomen.

This punch caused"Xia Yuan" to fall to the ground, and several ribs were broken.

, or the woman's spine was injured, and her body was shaking with pain as if her limbs were separated from her body.

In short, the room was filled with all kinds of screams, but this was only within the scope of her cognition.

As she continued to torture the fallen person, she raised her hand to break the bones, cut off the flesh with a knife, and let the blood flow on the ground.

The method was very cruel, but she was also very skillful in her torture.

Regarding what happened on Glaspatton Plains.

After about ten minutes, Xia Yuan felt that it was almost over.

There was a sharp sound in the air.

There was a flash of bright red.

In the blink of an eye, the head of the female executive who was still seriously interrogating the prisoner was thrown into the air by a flash of mercury arc, and her body fell straight next to her companion.

She was serious.

The expression on her face was still so serious until she died.

She was so serious that she didn't realize that she was killed.

After shaking off a little blood stained on the mercury sword, Xia Yuan lowered his head and looked at being tortured by his companions.

The man who was dying.

The person who killed the female executive was Xia Yuan, and the person who fell on the ground and was being interrogated was always the male executive in Xia Yuan's field of vision, but in front of another female executive.

The perception in his eyes has just changed.

From being knocked down and then tortured by his companions, this man screamed in pain and kept shouting.

"What are you going to do?!"

"Are you crazy?!!"

Such words.

But she couldn't hear them, because Xia Yuan confused her five senses in advance, so that she could only hear the screams he thought.

The fragrance of flowers and the blue butterflies reflected in her pupils were The best proof.

From the moment she came into contact with Xia Yuan, she fell under Xia Yuan's control, and she was still immersed in it until her death.

The illusion taught by the British magician could not be broken by words. He looked in front of him and fell to the ground struggling, shouting crazily:"What on earth did you do?"The thin man, Xia Yuan knelt down and smiled gently at him.

"I take the liberty of disturbing you to greet your death, but can you answer a few of my questions before you die?"

"Of course, you don’t have the right to refuse."

"——Ahhhhh!!!"

In the interrogation room, the second round of interrogation is still continuing.

……

……

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Different from the cramped and dilapidated interrogation room just now, this was an empty and grand room.

The dazzling gemstone chandelier hangs above the dome and casts a strange light. Huge black desks were placed around the room, some at the top and some at the bottom, and behind each table there was a figure of sufficient weight.

All the monarchs have been invited to gather here to conduct this trial.

At the same time, Ulphis, who was supposed to be one of them, was also brought to the center of the room.

As the light fell, sights from all over the place focused on him at the same time.

Or perhaps it was out of self-confidence that there was no magical restraint device on Uliphis' body.

In front of so many monarchs, no one believed that Ulphis could make waves by himself.

"Um."

When the prisoners, judges, and jurors in this case all gathered in this hall, it was at this moment that the figure sitting in the main seat took the lead in making a proposal.

"Lord Rufreus Nazelay Ulphis of the Seancery, do you have anything else to say in defense about what happened today?"

"It is unforgivable to secretly use London's spiritual veins and trigger riots in the entire region's spiritual veins, no matter what the reason. I think I don’t need to say more about the price you will pay for this crime."

The serious gaze dropped, and when he came up he went straight to the topic.

"……unnecessary……"

Uliphis shook his head. Facing the monarch's trial, he still showed no fear on his face. He said bluntly:"I can't deny the matter about London's spiritual veins... It was indeed caused by a special spiritual magic ritual....but I will be responsible for repairing any mess you make.……"

"You... have no right to judge me……"

"Damn it! Do you know what you did? Your efforts almost caused the magic environment in London to collapse!"

Suddenly, another voice shouted loudly from the other direction of the room.

"Although you are one of the Twelve Lords of the Magic Association Clock Tower Headquarters, the crimes you have committed are truly unforgivable."

"So I made a proposal to skip the trial, directly seal Ulphis for designated punishment, and kick his family out of the clock tower for direct purge!!"

Another figure stood up from the table.

Listening to this familiar figure, Yulipis glanced over coldly.

He knew that these were guys who couldn't stand him, and they were taking the opportunity to add insult to injury.

But, it doesn't matter......

It doesn't matter. No matter how much you bark, it won't change the outcome... so he didn't say anything.

"Who has any objection?"

The surrounding monarchs were silent, and even the figures on the throne fell silent, apparently acquiescing to this proposal.

"It seems that no one has any objection, then……"

The figure nodded with satisfaction.

Just as he was about to pronounce the verdict loudly, his expression suddenly changed.

He saw two figures standing up from their seats and walking slowly down the stage. Not only himself, but everyone present could not help but frown.

"I wonder if they are the Lord of the Minerals Department, Kenneth Elmloy Archibald, and the Lord of the Astronomy Department, Marisbili Animsfia?"

"Are you two standing up now to protect this sinner?"

The monarch who stood up asked in a bad tone.

"Huh, do I still need you to tell me what kind of decision I make? Useless old stuff."

Kenneth sarcastically replied.

"I think you don’t have a few more years to live. If you have time to question me here, you should first find a way to specialize in magic that can extend your life!"

"you?!"

Kenneth's unceremonious words obviously made the old man behind him very angry.

Especially since he was really hurt.

"Stay calm, everyone."

"Um? We have long known that Nice and Euliphis have a close relationship."

Another monarch stood up, a representative of the democrats.

"But, Marisbili, why do you side with Uliphis?"

"Sorry, everyone, I can’t tell you the specific reasons. But this time I chose to side with Lord Ulphis."

Facing this big shot's question, Marisbili shook his head helplessly.

"Really...I didn't expect that three monarchs would be involved. It's really surprising."

"Huh, three monarchs...but it still makes no sense. Even if we vote, our side will have an overwhelming advantage."

Another figure suddenly spoke.

"Therefore, the objection is invalid and the trial continues!"

"Designated with the seal of Euliphis, liquidated together with the Seancers and factions."

Finally, the figure sitting in a high position delivered the final verdict.

When the verdict was delivered, all the people heard

"I disagree——"

A slightly harsh objection sounded, echoing in the hall of the conference room.

All the monarchs were stunned for a moment, and then turned to look in the direction of the sound, but what they saw was still darkness, and there was no sign that the door had been opened.

But the next moment, their hair stood on end.

It was as if a little foreign matter was suddenly mixed into the sugar water. Although it is indescribable, it is such a strange feeling.

A stream of cold sweat seeped down from their necks, and the atmosphere became extremely solid.

Only then did they realize that at some point, there was a person standing next to Yulipis. However, they had never noticed his presence, as if he had melted into the air.

What is going on?

Soon, a unique uneasy atmosphere soon enveloped them.

But the young man who suddenly appeared here didn't make any strange moves, he just waved to them, smiled at everyone, and said hello to the people there in a familiar tone.

"Good afternoon, distinguished monarchs."

He first introduced himself politely with a smile on his face.

"My name is Xia Yuan, you can just call me Yuan"

"As an uninvited guest and the leader of this incident, I wanted to be there quietly to see the farce end, but this childish verdict was really boring."

"So, for those of you who want to judge me, are you interested in letting me participate?"

He said with a smile and a calm tone, but there was a bit of doubt in his words.

This was not a request, but a notification.

Everyone is an old fox in a high position, and there is something to be said for this kind of words. , naturally very familiar.

So, as Xia Yuan finished speaking, the entire trial scene fell into dead silence.
