Infinity Throne

"Wonderful."

Bartholomew Dylan applauded.

He expressed his approval of Yi Lin's reasoning.

"This guy is pretending well."

Gu Tianqing smiled at the side and whispered BB.

"roll."

Yi Lin lowered his head and gave Gu Tianqing a kind smile.

Gu Tianqing spread her hands, stretched her hand to her lips, and said "zip up", which means "I shut up".

Yi Lin continued: "Do you mean I'm right? Then the matter is very clear. To sum up, all the magicians in the clock tower are 'non-apostles'."

Bartholomew Dillon replied: "Yes."

"Ten years ago, what happened to your clock tower was probably a factional struggle? Are all those who became apostles driven away?"

Bartholomew Dylan closed his eyes, his pale face expressionless, nodded, and answered again: "Yes."

Yi Lin picked at the dead skin on his forehead and peeled off the clues he learned bit by bit. Combining the young man's reaction, he continued to speculate and analyze: "The thing you mentioned will soon come to the Tower of War. It is possible that it has been given 'properties' again. It can solve Mirien's troubles."

Miriam stood aside, her eyes widened, she nodded vigorously, and listened very carefully - even though she didn't quite understand, she still understood the last sentence.

"yes."

Bartholomew Dylan responded to Yi Lin's speculations with only one word.

It seemed that Yi Lin had guessed everything.

"But that thing was stolen? Haha," Yi Lin smiled: "Although I think it is a bit coincidental, I will believe it for now. Since you can't walk out of the clock tower at will now, in other words, you can recover this thing. Will the task of creating a treasure ultimately fall on us?"

Bartholomew Dylan lowered his eyelids and replied in a low voice: "Yes."

"We got that thing back, so you can take 'Avalon' out of my body?"

"yes."

"That would be a shame."

Suddenly, Yi Lin's voice changed and she shook her head.

Originally, Yi Lin and Bartholomew Dylan were having a quick Q\u0026A, but Miriam and Gu Tianqing listened with interest and did not dare to interrupt.

This scene changed, and Yi Lin's words caused the atmosphere of the friendly question and answer game to become awkward for a moment.

"What do you mean?"

Mirien stood up and asked with a trembling voice.

Yilin ignored Miriam, whose expression changed suddenly and her hair stood up to show that she was suppressing her anger. He still stood, smiling and looking directly at Bartholomew Dylan on the other side of the long table, and slowly spoke:

"Dear Lord of the Clock Tower, Bartholomew Dylan, I think you have misunderstood something."

Bartholomew Dylan slowly typed a question mark.

"That's not how this matter is calculated." Yi Lin stretched out a finger: "Originally, if that thing is still in the clock tower, the nature of the matter, to put it bluntly, is that Miriam has something to ask for, and I Do good deeds as you pass by;”

"But since that thing is not in the clock tower and has been stolen, the nature of the matter is different. Now, it is you who are asking for something from us. I think, except for us who took the initiative to send it to your door, no one else will." There is reason to proactively hunt down the treasure thief and get that treasure back.”

"In other words, if you want us to agree to find that treasure, you have to agree to our request. Well, this becomes a deal."

call--

Yi Lin finished speaking.

Miriam was completely angry.

With a clanging sound, Mirien shook her right hand, and a strong wind blew up. She held an invisible weapon in her hand and slashed towards Yilin with a sword.

"Damn it, don't you even know how to perform a double act?"

According to Yi Lin's speculation, there is a 50% chance that Miriam will attack herself, a 40% chance of attacking Bartholomew Dylan, and the remaining 10% chance. , in a daze. Sure enough...she became violent. A sword struck Yi Lin.

Yi Lin, who was well prepared, swayed and narrowly avoided the sharp sword wind. Because of Yi Lin's agility, ah no, now she is dexterous. Yilin's dexterity attribute is very different from Miriam's. After all, Mirien is a serious melee apostle. Even though she was well prepared, the sword wind still barely brushed past Yi Lin's arm. If she hadn't dodged quickly, the sword might have chopped Yi Lin into pieces.

Crash.

Gu Tianqing held the tarot cards, smiled and stood in the corner, spreading her hands, looking helpless.

The gorgeous long table was split in half by Mirien in an instant. The angry Mirien chewed deep tears in the corners of her eyes. Her angry eyes seemed to say "I misjudged you"... and other complex emotions. The long skirt moves without any wind, and the heroic figure of the King of Knights is fully displayed at this moment.

boom!

"Lord Bartholomew!"

The moment the gorgeous dining table was cut in half by Mirien's sword and cracked open. An agile figure smashed the back door with force and flexibly rolled inside.

——It's Cerberus.

Cerberus has been loyal to the door since the beginning.

She had no idea what was going on inside.

But when Mirien drew her sword, she already sensed that something was wrong and rushed in immediately. Just in time to see Miriam's fur trembling, she drew her sword angrily and cut the expensive dining table in half.

Crushed wood chips scattered in all directions like bullets.

"Run! Valdo! Ba! Shamper!"

Cerberus turned his right wrist and held a silver dagger inlaid with gems in his right hand. And she quickly chanted a few weird syllables in her mouth at the same time, clapping her left hand in front of her, and four radiant "words" shattered in front of her.

The magic barrier transformed by the light of the words took shape in the blink of an eye, and Miriam's sword wind and flying wood chips were easily blocked by Cerberus who arrived in time.

Yi Lin was also unscathed.

In an instant, the atmosphere in the messy VIP room suddenly solidified.

The tense atmosphere seemed to be on the verge of breaking out.

Mirien quickly apologized: "Sorry, I was impulsive. But please let me kill him with one sword."

Mirien first apologized sincerely in the direction of Bartholomew Dylan, and then pointed the invisible weapon wrapped in an invisible cyclone at Yilin. Mirien's eyes were filled with anger as she looked at Yi Lin.

Her idea is simple.

How could you be like this?

Where's the promised help?

I thought you were a good person,

I didn’t expect you to be like this Yi Lin!

There were faint tears in Miriam's eyes. She was extremely disappointed with Yi Lin, and the image of the tall "skilled chef" suddenly collapsed.

Along the way, the favorability she gradually accumulated made Miriam mistakenly think that Yilin was a good person.

Yi Lin knew that Miriam was overwhelmed by a moment of anger.

Forget it, don’t blame her.

He silently looked at the other side of the damaged dining table.

From beginning to end, he was observing the reaction of Lord Bartholomew.

He was sitting in a wheelchair and looked frail. But from the time Miriam burst into action and before Cerberus came in, there was no trace of panic or surprise on his face, and he was as calm as ever.

On the contrary, Cerberus, who arrived later, performed a strange defensive magic, and his right eye without an eyepatch showed obvious anger and disgust.

The test is over.

Yi Lin thought of the small note that Cerberus quietly handed him.

What does the word "RUN" on the note mean?

The situation seems more complicated than Yi Lin imagined.

In the VIP room, the four of them fell into silence.

Bartholomew Dylan waved his hand gently: "Cerberus, stop."

Cerberus closed his eyes, and the cute little dagger slipped back into his sleeve. She stood up straight, stood beside Bartholomew Dylan again, bowed and said, "Yes, my master."

"Stop it too."

Yi Lin pointed at Miriam.

Miriam was stunned.

Wait a moment.

Is this guy issuing orders to the proud descendants of the Knight King?

Yi Lin shook a card over.

Mirien took it smoothly, looked at it, and silently put away the sword.

"You're right." After the little interlude just now, Bartholomew Dylan understood the character of this Oriental. He stopped talking nonsense and said straight to the point: "Guests from the East, as long as you are willing to find someone for the Clock Tower, Return that treasure, and the Clock Tower will agree to a condition for you."

"Oh, I don't have the habit of collecting IOUs. I think you have to agree to my conditions first, and then I will do my best and leave no stone unturned to complete your entrustment. This is an entrustment, can you Do you understand?"

Cerberus, who was standing next to Bartholomew Dylan, suddenly stared with his right eye.

She was shocked.

How dare anyone dare to say such shameless words to one of the twelve monarchs of the Clock Tower, the former three nobles, and the current person in charge of the Clock Tower, Bartholomew Dillon?

Ridiculous!

Not unlike Cerberus' wrath.

Bartholomew Dylan seemed to have expected Yi Lin's request.

There was no surprise on his expression. The young man chuckled, his voice a little more hoarse and vicissitudes of life: "Entrustment. Yes, this is a commission. Distinguished guest from the East, tell me your conditions."

at this point.

Yi Lin no longer had any need to conceal the purpose of her visit to the Clock Tower.

He said: "Coach, I want to learn magic!"

Miriam was stunned.

Things seemed to be developing beyond her expectations.

From her understanding, it seemed that she had finally brought Yi Lin over from the server next door through her unremitting efforts. But Yi Lin mentioned this condition so readily and without any hesitation, why did it seem like she had planned it thousands of times?

Who brought whom to the Clock Tower?

Mirien suddenly had the illusion that she was being taken to the Clock Tower by Yi Lin.

After Yi Lin made a reasonable request.

Opposite, Barthemero Dylan and Cerberus seemed not to have expected that Yi Lin would make such a condition.

Bartholomew Dylan exhaled a long breath and seemed to be smiling again.

Cerberus lowered his head and glanced at his monarch. After a brief exchange of eyes, Cerberus looked much more relaxed. She smiled half-heartedly: "Guest from the East, do you know what the essence of magic is?"

Yi Lin shook his head and replied confidently: "If I want to know, I still need to learn? I don't want to learn because I don't understand!"

"Stop talking, Cerberus." Bartholomew Dylan smiled slightly: "I promise you. From now on, Cerberus will be your personal tutor in magic."

"Yes, Master."

Cerberus hesitated for a few seconds, but she did not refute or refuse, and just agreed.

Things progressed more smoothly than Yi Lin imagined.

It was initially speculated that the Clock Tower would not welcome the apostles, and Yi Lin was worried that his path to learning knowledge would encounter many obstacles.

"Magicians are quite generous."

Yi Lin thought so at first.

until--

…

Half an hour later.

Cerberus took Yi Lin to the library.

Here, there is no one.

The other magician apprentices in the Clock Tower are taking classes in other classrooms.

Although the Clock Tower was invaded, academic activities here did not suffer any hindrance and continued as usual.

When she was alone with Cerberus, Yi Lin wanted to ask what the note meant.

But Cerberus seemed to have forgotten that matter, or in other words, for some reason, she couldn't mention it directly to Yi Lin. Yi Lin could only hide the matter in her heart for the time being, and wait until she had the opportunity to investigate the secrets.

The library is a room tens of meters high.

Rather than calling it a "room", it might be more appropriate to describe it as a "book tower".

Inside the cylindrical building, as soon as Yi Lin entered the door, she was overwhelmed by the vast sea of ​​books.

He didn't expect to see so many books in one room.

With the popularization of electronics, this kind of paper books has long become a remnant of history. Obviously, these are antiques.

You may not see it, but Xing Fei treats his few tattered ancient alchemy books as treasures.

The interior of the cylindrical library covers an area of ​​two to three hundred square meters.

The walls are all inlaid with curved bookshelves, which extend to the ten-meter-high roof. Looking up, Yi Lin was a little worried. If these books were smashed down, the person standing at the bottom would be buried.

A spiral staircase extends clockwise along the bookshelves to the top of the library.

If you want to take down the books, as long as you can't fly, you can only step up the spiral staircase step by step, take down the books from the bookshelf, and then sit down in the center of the library on an empty table and chair to read them.

"Breathtaking."

Yi Lin sighed.

Cerberus turned his back to Yi Lin and said nothing.

Yi Lin thought of what happened in the VIP room during breakfast and asked, "There is one thing I didn't have time to ask just now. Where did those apostles who were driven away ten years ago go?"

Cerberus was silent for a few seconds, as if this was not a secret that could not be revealed, and the people Yi Lin faced next might also be from there, she answered coldly: "The former Magicians Association was composed of three major organizations. Composed. These three major institutions are the Clock Tower, the Atlas Courtyard, and the Wandering Sea."

"Oh? The three major institutions? Interesting, please elaborate." Yi Lin pulled up a small stool and sat down, becoming interested.

Cerberus glanced at Yi Lin expressionlessly and continued: "The Wandering Sea is a 'moving mountain range' that wanders in the Atlantic Ocean. It is also called the 'moving stone coffin'. Because the 'mountain range' itself is huge. The location of the 'Magic Mechanism' cannot be seen using ordinary methods. Ten years ago, most of the magicians who became 'your kind' moved there."

"Not long ago, those who attacked your clock tower were the people from Wandering Sea?"

"yes."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, we are born from the same roots, why are we in such a hurry to fight each other?"

"?"

"It's nothing, cough. Just forget it if you don't understand. You can continue. By the way, where is the other one?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Cerberus poured out the secrets of the Magicians Association like a jar being broken. In fact, to put it bluntly, this history is already in the past and is no secret. She answered: "Atlas Court is located inside the Atlas Mountains. However, whether it is the Clock Tower or Wandering Sea, there has been no contact with Atlas Court for nearly ten years."

Atlas Mountains?

African continent?

Hearing this, Yi Lin understood instantly.

"The territory of the Tower of Famine? That's it."

This is another bad thing in another district.

No wonder we no longer have any contact with each other.
