The Magician's Skyfall

When Akamatsu Ryu woke up, it was already daylight.

He yawned, rubbed his eyes, changed his clothes after washing, and then went downstairs.

There was no sign of Osamu Dazai in the hall on the first floor, Akamatsu Ryu didn't care about Osamu Dazai, he went to the kitchen to fry bacon and eggs for himself, made a cup of coffee, and read the newspaper while eating breakfast.

There is no big news in the newspapers. Compared with the gas explosions in some poor neighborhoods, the headlines of the newspapers are that the leader of the British Labor Party bombarded some MPs of the Conservative Party for personal gain and so on.

Akamatsu opened the second page and found that the most eye-catching title was the royal family, about the meeting that the eldest son of Her Majesty the Queen, that is, someone who has been the crown prince for decades, attended the meeting, and who was close to him during the meeting. .

Akamatsu curled his lips, and simply threw the newspaper aside.

It was naive of him to try to observe the situation in London's underworld through newspapers.

After Chisongliu finished his breakfast, a car stopped at the door.

Chi Songliu went to the window and took a look, and found that it was the car of the El-Melloi family, so he opened the magic lock and let the car drive directly into the garden.

Weber skillfully parked the car in the back garage of Chisong's house, and he and Lynis got out of the car and went to the front hall. Chisong Ryu had torn all the empty plates off the dining table, and the smell of rice in the air was gone.

Chimatsu smiled and hugged Weber: "Welcome, it's really early, have you had breakfast?"

"Good morning, I've eaten." Weber hung his black coat on the hanger next to him. He was wearing a red scarf around his neck, with a cigar in his mouth, and his attitude was relaxed and familiar.

Then Akamatsu Ryu bowed to Reinis again. Compared with Weber, Akamatsu Ryu was more cautious towards Reinis.

Compared with Weber, a half-baked guy, Reynice is the best survivor of the treacherous political situation that is smaller than the clock tower.

"Good morning, Virgilaire, it's really depressing to see you leisurely, London was very lively last night."

Reinis stared at Chisongliu faintly, with a sad expression on her face.

Akamatsu Liu was not deceived by Reinis, he said with a smile: "The materials I left for Weber sold at a good price, right?"

Reynice said of course: "It's so-so, but we didn't get anything."

In a place like the clock tower, if you don't suffer, you lose.

Akamatsu looked at Weber in surprise: "Didn't you earn a lot yesterday?"

Before Weber had time to speak, Reinis took advantage of the situation and said, "The more the better, of course."

Akamatsu smiled, and he invited the two to go to the study on the second floor for a detailed discussion.

Weber took a sip of the coffee delivered by Akamatsu, and he briefly talked about what happened last night.

Akamatsu Ryu listened carefully, and when he heard Fyodor with a young man with short white hair, his expression changed slightly.

He asked carefully: "Wearing a cloak? Behaving like a clown? Keep asking me for news?"

It was expected by Akamatsu Ryu that Fyodor and Osamu Dazai went to dinner, Nakahara Nakahara was also Osamu Dazai's bodyguard, it was normal for him to follow, but this guy named Nikolai...

Akamatsu recalled another message sent by him, could it be Nikolai Gogol?

Thinking about it this way, when he pushed Nakahara Chuya and Dazai Osamu last night, there was a person watching all the time nearby. Could it be that it was not the bell tower attendant he thought, but Gogol sent by Fyodor?

Akamatsu Ryu was full of question marks.

If it was before, he thought that Fyodor came to him purely because of Osamu Dazai's collage world, but after getting the information of the other world, Akamatsu Ryu didn't think so.

Fyodor obviously knew what Akamatsu Ryu from another world was doing, and coupled with Dazai Osamu's behavior, he came to contact Akamatsu Ryu.

Fyodor has great ideals and wants to make people with supernatural powers disappear completely, so he explores the mysterious power, but what about Nikolai Gogol?

Why is he staring at himself?Akamatsu Ryu is puzzled, shouldn't Gogol sit back and watch Fyodor realize his dream?

Nikolai Gogol's ability is called coat, which can connect space and is a very powerful sneak attack ability.

Akamatsu Liu raised his vigilance, beware of Nikolai Gogol's sneak attack.

After Weber finished talking about the meal, he asked Chimatsu Liu curiously: "What's the matter with the four of them? It seems that they are all powerful people with supernatural powers. They keep asking for your information. When did you provoke them? "

Akamatsu shrugged: "Fei Jia took my father's footsteps and spent a lot of money. Nikolai should be with Fei Jia. On the other side, Dazai and Fei Jia are hostile. He probably discovered it when he was following Fei Jia. I followed to find the door."

After hearing this, Reinis was thoughtful: "It seems that there are many contradictions among the superhumans."

Chimatsu Liu winked at Reinis: "If there is a contradiction, you can use it."

Reinis showed a knowing smile.

She said one thing: "Sovereign Urifis sent someone to take away those two materials last night, you have to be careful."

Chisong Liuluan, Urifis is the monarch of the spirit department, the old man is said to have lived for hundreds of years, and he is best at enslaving the undead. Necromancers get information.

Akamatsu said: "I guess my father will be warned by someone today. This is actually a good thing. Fei Jia took money to break down the door of our house, so he brought the lord of the Spirit Division into account. If someone does this again in the future, my father will always I won’t be fooled any more.”

Reynice said with a half-smile: "I always thought you would let your father retire, Virgilaire, you are unexpectedly soft-hearted in this regard, and you don't have the demeanor of a magician at all."

Chisongliu's weakness is too obvious, it is his family.

Akamatsu Ryu glanced at Reinis, not paying attention.

Reynice was assassinated at an early age by someone named her family who was actually trying to profit from her, and having grown up on plots and assassinations, she naturally scoffed at such tender feelings.

Akamatsu said flatly: "We magicians are creatures chasing the roots. Even magic is just a bonus on our way to pursue the roots. This is especially true for parents, relatives and friends. Since they are all bonuses, how to treat them is a personal matter."

"The destination is too far away, it's not bad to enjoy the scenery of the journey first."

After hearing this, Reinis snorted, took a sip of her coffee, and said nothing more.

Weber cleared his throat, and he showed Akamatsu Liu the notice issued by the monarch Inolai last night: "Under the mediation of the queen, the supernatural powers and magicians should coexist peacefully on the surface, and the supernatural powers organize the clock tower attendants Would you be interested in proposing to establish a London Abnormal Business Emergency Management Council?"

Chi Songliu's eyes lit up: "This is a good opportunity to get a lot of money from people with supernatural powers and those officials!"

Weber nodded again and again: "You think so too? The monarchs of the clock tower may not be happy to communicate with those ordinary people, but..."

"But it just so happens that my elder brother is the one who doesn't deserve the name among the monarchs. Although he has the reputation of a monarch, he respects the last place, and his strength is poor. At the same time, as a lecturer of modern magic, he knows a lot about modern society, so he is very suitable to be the representative of the Clock Tower. To attend a meeting."

Reinice said with a smile: "And my brother is the monarch of the clock tower, and his status is equal to other monarchs. It is not shameful to send him out for a meeting."

Akamatsu said with a smile: "Elmello belongs to the aristocratic faction, and his position is biased towards democracy. It is really suitable for you to attend."

Weber looked at Akamatsu Ryu: "Are you interested in going with me?"

Akamatsu raised his eyebrows: "You mean..."

Lainis laughed: "Even though my brother is a monarch, his strength is really weak. Those people with supernatural powers have super strength, don't they? For example, the grand fireworks last night."

Chimatsu Liu understood: "I'm going to be a bodyguard?"

Reinis reminded Chisongliu: "It's also the eyes of aristocrats. I guess democracy will also send people to follow my brother. As a monarch, my brother will definitely bring people there to show off."

Instead of waiting for the clock tower to compete for the quota, it is better to find a reliable one first, so Weber and Reinis came to the door early in the morning to negotiate with Akamatsu.

Akamatsu Ryu was thoughtful: "Maybe it will be someone from the Law and Politics Department."

The so-called law and politics department is the department that manages magicians, similar to the administration in universities.

The law and politics department is best at playing tricks and politics. Most of the people who come out of the law and politics department will serve as government employees related to the Clock Tower. There are even people from the law and politics department in some special agencies in the state department.

At the same time, Barthomero, the monarch of the Law and Political Section, is the real master of the clock tower.

"Impossible." Reinis categorically vetoed it: "Don't forget, the shortest of the three noble families in the Clock Tower is 500 years, and the longest is even 2000 years, which is longer than the current royal inheritance."

"They are also very famous and famous families in the world of watches. They will definitely not lack the power to control the government departments of the country. Even if an emergency management meeting is held, they will not easily use their chess pieces. At most, they will send people to watch us."

Reinis said, "I think it's probably someone from the Creation Department."

Weber and Akamatsu Ryu looked at Reinis at the same time.

Reinis lowered her voice: "Have you forgotten? The purpose of Creation Division?"

Weber and Akamatsu Ryu said in unison: "Get to the root through beauty!"

"Beauty is a feeling rooted in the bottom of the human heart. When human beings had no words, they would paint beautiful paintings on the walls."

With a delicate expression on his cigar, Weber asked Akamatsuru in a low voice, "The clock tower was discussing that the world has changed before, do you feel it?"

Akamatsu Ryu asked cautiously: "For example?"

Lyonis said amusedly: "For example, those great literary works, Virgilaire, don't tell me, as an English gentleman, you haven't read Romeo and Juliet."

Chi Songliu hissed, his thoughts changed sharply, he said: "Although I also have doubts in my heart, but this kind of thing..."

Linice said with a smile: "My brother's magic is engraved on Melvin's, so his resistance to this kind of thing is relatively weak. He actually forgot a lot of works! He also forgot Sherlock Holmes, which he loves to watch!"

Weber said in embarrassment: "Lady!"

But Reinis and Akamatsu Ryu both have magic seals, and there is a mysterious existence in their bodies, so they can resist the erasure of the will of the world.

Akamatsu Ryu tentatively said, "I checked Shakespeare's works, but I can't find them now."

"No, there is a place to find it."

Reinis said: "Have you forgotten? Now that the surface is mysteriously declining, the underground is the best place to preserve all kinds of past mysteries. The great literary works preserved in the underground library of the clock tower have not disappeared."

The blond girl said confidently: "As a magician who pursues the beauty of art and tries to reach the root through beauty, he absolutely cannot resist getting close to the writers who have written great works."

The corner of Chisong Liu's mouth twitched after hearing this, he hesitated and said: "But the version I heard is that many magicians plan to capture people with supernatural powers, remove their bones and skin, and directly make magic seals."

Reinis said as a matter of course: "Yes, the existence of works that can be passed down for thousands of years and resonate with countless people. In the minds of so many readers, these authors themselves can already form the foundation of magic power."

"For example, the Church of the Holy Church, didn't they build a foundation called [Lord] because of their beliefs, so that all believers can perform magic?"

Reinis said with bright eyes: "The Clock Tower also intends to do the same, but before arresting those authors, it does not prevent them from forcing them to write hundreds of works."

"Like Shakespeare, he wrote 47 plays in his lifetime, and now we have the opportunity to give him another 47... so you get the idea?"

The author has something to say:

Shakespeare: Don't come here! !
