The Magician's Skyfall

"Phew, it's finally over."

After Weber and Lienice left the meeting room, the two took off their calm masks, revealing a slightly tired look.

There are twelve monarchs in the clock tower. Because of the world stitching and the attendants of the clock tower, most of the monarchs who have been hidden have sent agents to pay attention to the changes in the world.

This time, Mrs. Inolay, the monarch, brought an invitation from Agatha to the management meeting. The twelve monarchs either came in person or sent their agents to attend the meeting. The El-Mello family was the last seat, and both Weber and Lyonis attended the meeting. up.

All the meetings attended by crown princes are called crown resolutions, and the most recent crown resolution was when the monarchs discussed how to deal with the El-Melloi family.

For Weber and Lynice, the crown decision really contained a different meaning.

However, this meeting was different from the previous ones. Although there were factional disputes, considering the existence of people with different abilities, the magicians basically reached a consensus, and there was a sense of unity.

At the meeting, Mrs. Inolay, a democratic monarch, is willing to manage the meeting for a name, and she will attend the meeting with Shakespeare.

The reason is very simple. Mrs. Inolay likes drama and movies. In the UK, people who like to watch dramas must not avoid Shakespeare's works, so Mrs. Inolay is actually a fan of Shakespeare's books.

Among the three major factions of the Clock Tower, since Mrs. Inolay, who represents democracy, has come forward, the representative of the aristocratic faction, Urifis, the monarch, naturally looks at El-Melloi.

Sovereign Uriffes is a standard magician. He never pays attention to ordinary people, and even disdains to deal with people in this world. He is quite old-fashioned, arrogant and closed.

But it is undeniable that the strength of the monarch Uriffis is very terrifying. He wears gem ornaments all over his body, which contain a terrifying number of powerful vengeful spirits.

Even the monarch Urifis has a spiritual place like the Tower of London. Under the Tower of London, where many dignitaries and kings in history have been imprisoned, there is a special reading room that is only open to monarchs of various factions.

This shows how deep and terrible the accumulation of aristocraticism is.

Weber received a hint from the monarch, Urifis, but he didn't say anything immediately. Instead, he said that he was busy with his classes recently and might not be free, but if it was a request from the faction, this matter could be discussed.

The subtext is, give me some benefits, and I will do it if there are benefits.

Although Wei Bo is willing to be the liaison, he must not propose it himself, and even needs to show that "you begged me" to be the liaison. Conflict of interests and calculations are such troublesome things.

Sovereign Uriffes snorted and glanced at Reynis.

Reinis immediately understood and said that she would pay a visit.

The representative of the neutralist faction is Meastia, the monarch of the archaeological discipline. This monarch usually does not show up and usually finds an agent to attend, but this time he came in person.

Archeology, as the name tells you, is a discipline that explores the past, and naturally it also dabbles in literary works in human history.

Considering that democracy already has a monarch involved, and aristocratism is about to send Weber, an acting monarch, to act as a front. If neutralism also sends a monarch... To be honest, it would be too much face for the clock tower.

So this neutralist monarch implicitly hinted to Weber that he has a student who is very interested in Weber's courses, and hopes that the El Mello classroom will be opened to allow more students to study there. If Weber can find a right-hand man from it, then It couldn't be better.

Lynice immediately understood the hint from the monarch Meastia that Neutralism would send a student as a spy to obtain information about the clock tower.

Reinis smiled coquettishly and agreed on behalf of Weber. Of course, she also took advantage of the opportunity and suggested that her brother is not strong enough, so he needs to bring a bodyguard, such as Vigilaire, the governor of the Akamaz family who is involved with people with supernatural powers. It's just right.

The final result of the meeting satisfied everyone and everyone was happy.

Not long after Leinis and Weber left the meeting room, Weber received an invitation from Monarch Inolai.

And Lainis was stopped by the monarch Meastia.

At first, Reinis was still confused, but after a few diplomatic words, Reinis' expression changed.

Reinis: "You mean, the two supernatural beings involved with the Akamaz family are Dostoevsky and Gogol?"

God!This is the author of her fan!Especially Fyodor Dostoevsky!

This guy's Criminal Minds is so well written!Even many half-baked magicians are like the protagonist in the novel. While spurning their own behavior, they raise the butcher knife in their hands. They cannot completely abandon their sensibility and concepts as a human being, nor can they really step into the way of magic. There is madness in that disgust. The words really fit her heart!

In her entire life, Reinis liked to see people struggling in pain, and this was the only little pleasure she had in surviving in the maelstrom of conspiracy till now.

Monarch Meastia nodded slowly: "That's right, as the princess of El-Melloi, you should still remember what the names of these two ability users represent?"

Reinis slowly revealed a slightly twisted and nervous smile: "Of course, I understand what you mean, this is an opportunity."

Neutralist factions have never been involved in the struggle for power in the clock tower, but they will not relax the collection of various intelligence.

If Inolay, the monarch of the democratic faction, really reaches a consensus with the clock tower, and even gets Shakespeare, then the faction power of the clock tower will change, which is a change that the neutralist faction does not want to see.

Every country has countless writers, but there are very few writers who can truly represent the country. Shakespeare must be counted as one, and Fyodor Dostoevsky is also counted as one.

Of course, as we all know, Pushkin stands at the pinnacle of Russian literature, and the inside of the clock tower speculates that Pushkin is likely to be the transcendent.

[A fat man Pushkin: I am not!I don't!Don't talk nonsense! 】

The Transcendent is powerful, and it is not clear how deep it is yet, but Fyodor does not seem to be a Transcendence, and the most important thing is that Fyodor is in London!

While secretly preventing Inola from capturing Shakespeare, while keeping an eye on Fyodor, this is what the neutralist faction has to do.

The El-Mello family has a special stance. As an aristocratic faction, it also leans towards democracy. This kind of behavior has a taste of neutralism, which is why the monarch Meastia came into contact with Reinis.

Laines has struggled with the intrigues of the clock tower since she was a child, she naturally understood the reminder from the monarch Meastia, she nodded with a smile: "I will pass on your words to Vigilaire of."

Monarch Meastia's expression softened slightly: "He is a smart man."

The awakening magic of Akamatsu Ryu is very suitable for the direction of archaeology, so in private, Akamatsu Ryu and archeology have some cooperative research, and the monarch Meastia has a good sense of Akamatsu Ryu.

After the clock tower reached a consensus, Inolai sent a message to Agatha, saying that the clock tower would have two monarchs and two agents to attend the meeting, hoping that the participants of the supernatural powers would not disappoint the clock tower.

Agatha's speed is also very fast.

In other words, the Clock Tower has already prepared various plans. Considering the safety and importance of the meeting, after negotiation between the two parties, the meeting location was set at the State Banquet Hall near Whitehall.

The State Banquet Hall is the first classicist building in the history of British architecture. I believe that such an ancient meeting place should satisfy those magicians who like mystery.

From the point of view of the supernatural beings, the State Banquet Hall has the Ministry of National Defense on the left, the War Office on the opposite side, and the Clock Tower Office on the right. Soldiers and supernatural beings came to help.

Weber quickly received news from Monarch Inole, and the meeting time was ten o'clock in the morning of the next day.

Now that the time for the meeting has been confirmed, Weber sends news of the familiar to Akamatsu Ruu.

Waver's magic power is very weak, and he uses the familiar that Akamatsu Ryu left him.

So Osamu Dazai and Fyodor, who were playing chess in the living room on the first floor, saw a white swan suddenly flying outside the window of the living room.

The swan is very spiritual. The whooper swan opened the lock of the window with its mouth, and then squeezed its fat body into the room. After landing, the swan fluttered its wings, recognized the direction, and rushed to the stairs with its big white tail.

The swan's fat white tail twisted and twisted, no matter how you looked at it, you felt happy.

Osamu Dazai leaned on the seat, playing with the chess piece representing the king in his hand, thinking: "A familiar?"

Fyodor said with emotion: "It is very convenient and unobtrusive."

All swans in England belong to the royal family, and no one can harm the swans. Akamatsu Ryu uses swans as his familiars, which is simply a huge profit.

Osamu Dazai said with great interest, "What do you think the news is coming from now?"

Fyodor pushed the chariot of chess pieces forward casually, and he said casually: "Since it is a message from the swan, it may be a negotiation message between the clock tower and the clock tower."

Osamu Dazai smiled, and his attention returned to the chessboard: "If the talks are successful, London will not be so easy to mess up."

Naturally, there was no chance for Fyodor to take advantage of it.

Fyodor chuckled: "Gravity is on the outside, isn't it?"

Dazai smiled and said nothing.

Dazai Osamu Nakahara was also outside, just like Fyodor let Nikolai Gogol outside, neither of them believed that the clock tower would let go of the fat on the lips, especially when they saw Akamatsu Ryuna After the murderous side of the magician, both of them were waiting for an opportunity.

Soon, Akamatsu Ryu walked up from the underground stairs.

He ignored Osamu Dazai and Fyodor, but first went to the second floor to change clothes, and at the same time equipped with a full set of dresses and gem materials.

Seeing Akamatsu Ryu fully armed and ready to go out, Dazai Osamu's eyes lit up: "You want to go out? I want to go with you."

Chi Songliu paused and frowned slightly.

There is indeed such a clause in the agreement, Dazai Osamu is his leg pendant.

"...I'm going to a meeting, Dazai, I'm not sure I can protect you well."

Akamatsu said bluntly: "The monarch Baru Yereta will also go, don't get close to her and die."

If it was just a spy sent by Weber and the neutralist faction, Akamatsu Ryu is still somewhat sure, mainly because the ore department he is currently in is also affiliated with the neutralist faction. Maybe this spy is still his student, and it’s okay to bring Osamu Dazai to the meeting. .

But there was also Mrs. Ireno among the meeting attendees. Akamatsu-ryu seemed to be very strong, but for this lady, it was also delivering food.

Fyodor continued: "I heard that Mrs. Ireno is the hero of the clock tower, but it's a pity that I don't see her."

Akamatsu said with a strange expression: "Do you want to see her? I heard that she is a fan of Shakespeare, and I probably have read your book. After you finish writing the second part of Crime and Punishment, I can recommend it for you, but after seeing her I won't guarantee whether you can escape safely in the end."

Osamu Dazai burst out laughing. He looked at Fyodor gleefully, and asked Akamatsuru: "Oh? How will he be treated?"

Akamatsu thought for a while: "Maybe it will be made into a specimen, soaked in formalin, and sent to the designated executive bureau of the seal for storage."

Speaking of this, Akamatsu Ryu glared at Dazai Osamu angrily: "Why are you laughing? You are treated in the same way."

Fyodor sighed: "But we can't just sit still. Although I got the basic information of the Twelve Monarchs, it's just a name and family."

Dazai Osamu followed suit: "It would be great if there was more specific information. Speaking of which, the clock tower is so powerful, if it really cannibalizes people with different abilities, won't there be disagreements in the internal distribution of spoils?"

Fyodor answered immediately: "How is it possible? They have three major factions."

Dazai Osamu said with a smile: "Vigilaire, are you aristocratic? But you are taking classes from the neutralist faction, and the way you use magic tends to be democratic..."

Fyodor was worried at first: "It's dangerous to step on three boats." The next second he smiled: "But it's okay, we can help."

Looking at the two people who sang together, Akamatsu was amazed: "You two have a tacit understanding. Sure enough, the person who knows you best is not a friend but an enemy?"

Hearing this sentence, Fyodor and Osamu Dazai's expressions were a little stiff.

Immediately, Akamatsu changed his voice: "With your methods, it shouldn't be difficult to know the content of the meeting, right? I don't believe that you have nothing to do with the bell tower servants."

Besides, Akamatsu Ryu has already granted these two people access to the Internet, and with their abilities, they don't need to rely on Akamatsu Ryu's channel at all.

Akamatsu Ryu's expression remained unchanged, but his heart began to murmur.

If he has already moved in without his channels and information, and these two people are still staring at him, it means that no matter Dazai Osamu or Fyodor, one of their goals must include Akamatsu Ryu himself.

But...it still doesn't make sense!

Osamu Dazai needs Akamatsu Ryu to relieve the curse of the wine of immortality on his body, so he probably won't kill him.

As for arrests like the Yokohama plan?The magic contract has blocked this.

And Fyodor's purpose is to eliminate all abnormal power, which is similar to Akamatsu Ryu's previous delusion. Fyodor should understand that even if Akamatsu Ryu does not help, he will not deliberately stop it.

So Fyodor has no reason to lay his hands on Akamatsu.

Then why are these two people still staring at themselves?

Akamatsu Ryu couldn't figure it out, so he asked straightforwardly.

"Is your purpose me? Why? What do you want?"

The expressions of Osamu Dazai and Fyodor became more rigid.

Neither of them expected Akamatsu Ryu to say it directly? !

Osamu Dazai was a little dazed, but Fyodor reacted immediately.

He pointed to Osamu Dazai and said, "He is pursuing you."

"And I..." the kind Russian said softly, "I'm witnessing the birth of love."
