To be king and magician

Having said that, Xia Chuanhu smiled slightly, then stood up.

"Are you leaving?"

"Ah, anyway, the request for the anomalous ley line has been resolved, so there is no need to stay here."

"Indeed, then before you leave, I have something to tell you - it has been a rule since ancient times to reward those who have meritorious service, and for you who helped me solve the LogosReact problem, I naturally prepared a gift, as long as But it is a slightly cumbersome gift, so I am still making final adjustments, and it will be mailed to you in a while. Remember to sign for it when the time comes."

gift?

Xia Chuanhu smiled: "I really want to say that there is no need for this. After all, it is not a big deal-it is useless to say so. I will thank you for your kindness first. Then I will see you later, Atlas Mr. Dean of the Academy."

"Well, goodbye by fate, the magician of the clock tower."

--------------------------

He said he was going to leave the village, but in fact Xia Chuanhu couldn't leave right away. In terms of time, it should take two or three days.

The reason is also very simple, because of the LogosReact problem, the whole village is now on alert, and everyone is nervous, racking their brains to find out the troublemaker who ruined their long-cherished wishes.

And Xia Chuanhu, as the most special outsider in the village, is naturally the most suspicious person—the second day after the outsider came, there was a problem with LogosReact, which had been running smoothly before. If there is no problem between the two, then I really don't believe it.

So in the past two days, Xia Chuanhu will be monitored by the villagers in all directions wherever he goes, and he will even be questioned if he encounters a little more radical.And just this morning, the most respected grandma in the village came over in person and questioned him incomparably.

In the end, Xia Chuanhu yelled and threw her out. On the one hand, there was resentment from being interrogated and monitored, and on the other hand, it was acting.He still has some confidence in his acting skills.

"Ah~~~~ Will this day continue for a few more days?"

Lying on the wooden bed, Xia Chuanhu looked at the ceiling and sighed helplessly.

And at this moment-

"Boom boom boom..."

There was a knock on the door, and before Xia Chuanhu opened the door, the person outside broke in without authorization.

It's Belsack.

Sitting up from the bed, Xia Chuanhu frowned: "Is there something wrong? Gravekeeper?"

"Let's say it's urgent—you're in danger, magician." Belsack's expression looked a little anxious, "Because the prisoner who caused the problem with the underground thing has not been found for a long time, and the old woman is going to deal with it in order to calm people's hearts. You're done."

"Huh?" Xia Chuanhu was stunned for a moment, and then spread his hands, "I still did it in the end. It's really quick to make a decision."

"This village is full of people who are extremely devout to King Arthur, and they will not do anything to disturb the village. After all, you, an outsider, are the most suspect—although the reasoning is reluctant, it is indeed wrong."

"So, you came here to inform me to run away with a bucket?"

"If you're caught, I'll be in trouble too if I'm too greedy to confess to death—leave here with Grey, and never come back."

"Okay, okay—huh?!"

Xia Chuanhu, who had just agreed, was startled.

What did the old man just say?

"Going with Grey? You just said that, right? What's going on? Why did Grey want to go together?"

"There's no need for her to stay here anymore." Belsack said, "The underground thing has stopped working, and the purpose of this village's resurrection of King Arthur can no longer be accomplished. In this way, the child Grey doesn't need to continue to perform as a container." But even so, she still can only end her life as a container for the heroes of the past, this was the case before, and it is even more so under the current situation.”

"You mean, the villagers may believe in Grey more fanatically than before because of the inner panic because LogosReact stopped working?"

Belsack nodded to Xia Chuanhu's statement in affirmation: "Originally, I appointed her to be the next tomb keeper because I couldn't stand her sad life, but now, even my behavior is not enough. I can't help her anymore."

"So you want me to help her? Take her out of here once and for all?" Xia Chuanhu couldn't help being silent for a while, "...the outside world is not so good, especially where I am, where the magician The world is not a nice place."

"That's better than this kind of place where the dead gather together. Besides, one day, she should also go to see the world outside the village."

"What's on her mind?"

"Someone has already persuaded her—leave after nightfall, and never come back with her."

After speaking, he didn't give Xia Chuanhu time to answer at all, or simply forced him to acquiesce that Xia Chuanhu would agree, and Belsac turned around and slammed the door and left.

27. Teacher Kenneth, my superman

Two days later, in the clock tower, inside Kenneth's office.

After reading the report on the commission submitted by Xia Chuanhu, Kenneth nodded to Xia Chuanhu in front of him: "Well, I understand the details, so the magical anomaly in Blackmoya Cemetery can be regarded as a Solved, thanks for your hard work, Tiger."

"It's a matter of duty——to be honest, I should be grateful to the teacher."

Xia Chuanhu laughed.

Putting the report away, Kenneth smiled lightly: "If you have to pursue it to the end, I should also be responsible for the reason why you blew up the laboratory. Strictly counting it, I'm just paying for my actions That's all—then this matter is over, and I will continue to arrange a few commissions that you can handle with your ability, and if everything goes well, you should be able to pay off the debt within a year."

One year.

Xia Chuanhu couldn't help sighing when he heard this: "Study, part-time job, and entrustment... I always feel that I will be exhausted to death in the next year."

"You can relax on the study side. The commissions completed by the students will be recorded in your practical credits. When you graduate from all basic courses in the future, the pressure on credits will be much lighter."

Kenneth explained.

"Okay, now that we've finished talking about you, let's talk about the child behind you."

"Ahhh..."

Sensing Kenneth's gaze, Gray, who had been hiding behind Xia Chuanhu since just now, hastily continued to shrink behind him, and at the same time pulled down the hood with his hands to cover his entire face.

Seeing Grey's performance, Kenniston looked at Xia Chuanhu with more stern eyes: "I brought back such a small child from the Black Moya Cemetery, I don't remember teaching you to be like those lowly nobles my man, Tiger."

"Actually, Mr. Kenneth, you taught me almost all self-defense courses..."

Xia Chuanhu muttered, and then cleared his throat: "Ahem—about the matter about Grey, I remember that I have written it in detail in the report..."

"[As entrusted by Grey's mother, I took Grey out of that remote village to see the outside world] - I have indeed seen what you wrote in the report, but you don't think With such a sentence, I will ignore her face, which is almost exactly the same as Caster's, right?"

Even though more than a year has passed, Kenneth still remembers the experience of the Holy Grail War last year, and among them, Caster—Morgan—was undoubtedly the one who left a deep impression on him.But Gray in front of him has a very similar appearance to her. If it is a coincidence, Kenneth will never believe it.

Facing Kenneth's questioning, Xia Chuanhu sighed slightly: "Teacher, first of all, I want to confirm that your office will not be bugged by others, right?"

"Of course." Although he didn't understand why Xia Chuanhu asked such a question, Kenneth nodded immediately, "This office is also a workshop for me, and there are no omissions in all aspects of preparation."

"That's good—actually, there is a report on the Blackmoya Mausoleum, and I concealed part of the content, because that is not something that can be written into the report. If the legal and political department in charge of the review finds out, what about that The village is not a good thing."

Xia Chuanhu's words made Kennis frown instantly - isn't it something that the law and politics department can know?Although there are many taboos in the clock tower that cannot be known by the law and politics department, how many taboos can be involved in just a simple investigation of magical abnormalities?

Looking at Grey behind him, Xia Chuanhu explained: "That village has actually been planning to resurrect someone for hundreds of years, and for this reason, it even has some relationship with the Atlas Academy."

"Resurrection of someone? This is something beyond my expectations - but it is also understandable, from the rules of the Clock Tower, resurrection is indeed one of the most serious taboos, if it is written in the report, come back to the Law and Political Department We will certainly not sit idly by during routine investigations.”

"Yes—teacher, you also know the three elements that make up the human body, body, spirit, and soul. That village has completed one of them in these hundreds of years."

"what do you mean......"

Kenneth instantly understood what Xia Chuanhu meant, and looked at Gray with a strange look in his eyes: "It turns out that this child is a highly matched container made to accommodate the souls of heroes in the past. Is it the only successful individual after the year?"

"Yeah. That's the reason why she looks like Caster. The abnormal magic in the commission is actually because the village's resurrection ceremony went wrong, which caused the abnormality of the earth's veins. Although I finally completed the commission At the same time, the ceremony was destroyed as much as possible, but as long as it takes a few years, the ceremony will still be held again, and Gray will once again become the container of resurrection."

"So, in order to avoid this situation, Grey's mother and her master asked me to take Grey out of that village, and made me and her make a vow never to go back."

Xia Chuanhu made the final explanation—but even so, he still concealed part of the truth, such as one of the seven weapons of the Atlas Institute, such as the reappearance of Arthur's power, and the fact that A The existence of Dean Zbia of Truss...Although Kenneth is kind to him, and he is currently on his side, but this kind of magic is too powerful for the magic world, and it may even cause big troubles. Xia Chuanhu was not prepared to tell the whole story about the earthquake.

[A village tried and failed to revive a past hero] - Now just spread the word.

After listening to Xia Chuanhu's explanation, Kenneth rested his chin and pondered for a while, then leaned back on the chair: "Okay, I understand the situation, and I will allow this child to come. I will let her be the same as you in terms of accommodation. , arranged to enter your apartment. In terms of identity, I will also have someone forge it."

"Thank you very much, Mr. Kenneth."

"If you want to thank you, quickly display your talents, and then join the El-Melloi School and the Ore Department to work for me——Go on."

"Yes. Excuse me then, teacher—come, Gray, let us go."

Holding Grey's hand, Xia Chuanhu led her out of the office.

After watching the two leave, Kenniston sighed helplessly, turned around and looked out the window: "Immature brat, no one has told him that his ability to make up stories is poor?"

"Then the legal and political department...have to think of a way to fool them."

28. Children should never approach Melly

After leaving from Kenneth, Xia Chuanhu took Gray and directly called a taxi back to his apartment.

Although Kenneth has not been officially notified yet, but anyway, besides him, there are only two people in the apartment, Weber and Mei Li, and they can all be said to be their own people. If the situation is explained, both of them should be able to accept Grey's move in. .

Gray didn't have much luggage—none at all, just a suit of clothes and a cage with Yard in it.

Standing in front of the apartment with the birdcage in hand, looking at the [luxury] house in front of him, Gray couldn't help but rubbed his eyes: "Here... is this the place I'm going to live in the future? "

"Well, if nothing else happens, you will be living here for a long time to come, and it doesn't matter if you think of this place as a writer." Xia Chuanhu said with a smile, "At the same time, this is also where I live, and there are only a few other people in it besides me. There are only two people, both of them are... ah, it shouldn't be said that they are both good people."

At least Mei Li is definitely not, the devilish training life a few days ago has confirmed her nature of fun and troublemakers.

"Anyway, let's go in first. It's been two days, you must be tired?"

The two left the village before nightfall, and it would take five hours to drive from Blackmoyer Cemetery to the capital of Wales, but there was no car at all in the middle of the night, so Xia Chuanhu and Gray almost walked there. Husband, didn't get a ride until halfway.

Xia Chuanhu was not so tired because of the relationship strengthened by magic, but Grey was a child, and he had to travel long distances at night. Even if Xia Chuanhu carried her away halfway, the mental fatigue was real.

(Let Mei Li arrange a room for her to sleep in first, and then explain the details.)

Thinking so, Xia Chuanhu stepped forward, took out the key and opened the door of the dormitory, and the moment he opened the door——

"Hey——————!"

A clothes-horse stabbed straight at his face without warning!

It was almost a conditioned reflex, without even thinking about it, Xia Chuanhu leaned back on an iron bridge, and then landed smoothly with a flexible backflip, but he didn't react until then: "Damn it! I was shocked! What the hell— — Damn! Come again?”

Looking at the illusion knight puppet standing at the door like a door god, holding the clothes pole as a spear, Xia Chuanhu remembered that he was actually still in the process of receiving Meili's special physical training.

"Ah, it was really good to dodge that just now. I thought it would be slow if I didn't practice for a few days, but it seems that I was overthinking."

Coming out from behind the illusion puppet, Mei Li folded her arms and greeted Xia Chuanhu with a smile: "Good afternoon, Xia Chuan, welcome back, lunch is ready. You must be hungry just now."

"Your so-called lunch shouldn't be stabbing my stomach with a clothes rail? If I didn't dodge just now, I would be blind!"

"It's okay, it's okay, as long as you don't die, I can save you, so it's completely fine to get hurt."

Looking at Mei Li who was laughing heartlessly, Xia Chuanhu suddenly wanted to hit her, but after thinking about it carefully, he still suppressed the pressure - because he couldn't beat Mei Li, or if he hit her, he couldn't beat her. It was nothing to beat, after all, in front of Meili who can use illusion, no matter how Xia Chuanhu beat him, he was the only one who was injured in the end.

It would be better not to fight.

After taking a deep breath and calming down, Xia Chuanhu pushed Grey in front of him: "Let's stop messing around here, I have something serious to tell you, Merlin."
