The walker from Xingyue, Demon King Rimuru!

After the conversation, the two fell into an enigmatic silence. There were layers of silent corridors alternated across borders, until the last slightly empty door was pushed open, and the afternoon sun from the end of winter in January shone warmly on the To be honest, if he was familiar with the teaching building where the basic subjects and lecturers were resident before, then the scenery that followed was really unfamiliar to him.

After all, the Clock Tower has a total of 75 large classrooms equivalent to an academic city, and nearly half of the buildings belonging to the headquarters, that is, the British Museum—behind this huge barrier, the headquarters building of all the basic departments of the first discipline bears the brunt of almost Including the museum itself, it is the teaching building with the widest range of magicians and the most students. This also leads to Limuru, who is a lecturer of basic subjects, with almost no reason to go deeper...

In particular, the Creation Department, which belongs to the three major nobles, can be regarded as the most internal existence of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

However, having said that, it was actually because the former Limuru was unwilling to get involved too much, because in the rules of the clock tower, as long as he is a student or teacher of the clock tower, he will have the right to step into any building of any clock tower. Great classroom right.

Even if it's just a walk in the afternoon, you can go to the dean's room if you dare...

After stepping out of the large classroom of basic subjects, the green grass and the blue sky are oncoming, and the students have begun to disperse in twos and threes. After the afternoon, the students are strolling in this place similar to a playground. The scene, which made Limulu feel extremely familiar, if I remember correctly...

He looked slightly under a certain big tree, where...it seems to be the place where Tohsaka Rin and Emiya Shiro will take a nap together in the future... right?

Is this a pilgrimage to the Holy Land?

The square full of fresh air is actually a very large open area, which is cut by some modern small shopping mall centers and surrounded by several continuous areas. Generally speaking, it is not so much for students to The free-moving square is actually a huge traffic hub covered by natural greenery. It connects almost all cities in the British Museum area, and perfectly bypasses the place where it connects with the world of watches.

"The entire area of ​​the British Museum is divided into five areas, which are controlled by the three nobles and the dean." Lidel saw Limulu's strangeness to this environment, and explained in a soft voice. After all, in her opinion, Limulu Mulu will surely learn about these things in the future.

"Although there is a city directly under the leadership of the dean, in fact, the place we are going to is the law and politics department, because the Lord Barthumello is currently serving as the dean's assistant of the Clock Tower—" Speaking of this, Lidal suddenly After a pause, he said, "But you should go there later... Well, the dean's office."

"Hmm..." Limulu wasn't too surprised. The dean wanted to see him. Lidale had already mentioned it more than once yesterday. Although she didn't expect it to be so soon, she was somewhat psychologically prepared.

Compared with these huge academic urban accidents hidden under the British Museum, Limuru is actually more interested in the fifth largest area that Lidell has never mentioned, that is, the "Underground" in London. Spiritual Tomb Albion", but now is obviously not the time for him to get in touch with these things. After all, even some professors' understanding of Albion is still on the surface of the first-level mining city, and they don't know what's in it. It's just a secret.

The rumored town of goblins is connected to the entrance of the other world, can it be compared with a different space?

After following Lidal around the entire clock tower almost a full circle, and when it was about to reach the appointed time, Lidal hurried back with Limuru back the same way, and ran back to the place where all the basic subjects were less than two kilometers apart. Inside the big classroom——

"So, the law and politics department is right next to you, but you took me around for a whole lap, right?"

Limulu looked up at this huge building decorated with dark golden patterns like a lion. The majesty and solemnity were highlighted by the simple and slightly angular trapezoidal structure as a whole. style of.

"I quite understand your thinking about me... But being late is not good for your image as a monarch...?"

He looked at Lidelle who looked indifferent, and sighed helplessly.

"What does that matter..." Lidal obviously didn't care about the so-called image, and rolled her eyes. If it wasn't because Achelot urgently needed a powerful existence to raise the status of the twelve nobles, she might Fortunately, there are concerts all over the country!

If it is not forced, who would want to come here to be a bad teacher?

That's right!She, Lidelle, is a super idol duck!

"Is it really okay for me to go in with you?"

Looking at the door covered with magic defense mechanisms, Limuru became nervous in a rare way. Rao had developed an attitude of not being humble when facing most big capital bosses in his previous life, but facing this group of people It can be called the top existence of magic, but he still has some doubts. After all, this world is no longer like the previous life where rich people are fathers. For most magicians, apart from the illusory roots, rich knowledge and Strong strength, these represent things close to the root are the only factors that determine status.

And although he doesn't really want to hang on to the source, but... according to his inference, his current strength is at best at the level of Kenneth, and his combat experience is all supported by the assistant mode of the great sage!

"Of course not." Lidal put her hand on the authentication magic with ease, and explained casually: "Leaving aside that you are the main party involved in this meeting, there are some things that need to be known to you. have the right to attend meetings with assistants."

"but……"

After the huge door made an ancient muffled sound, it slowly opened with a creak, and all kinds of eyes within it also passed Lidale more or less instantly and projected on Limuru.

"It's true that there are only thirteen seats. They will definitely not agree to let you be my seat."

While speaking, Lidal also gradually raised her delicate face, raised her head and swept towards the crowd, her originally gentle tone and gaze gradually became indifferent and serious.

Uh, Limuru swallowed his saliva, and Lidel's outburst of aura made him straighten up like a reflex, and looked at the venue together.

In the center of the huge venue, at the top of the circular conference-style table, an empty seat represents the dean, and besides that, almost all twelve seats have been filled, and only the seventh seat is still vacant. On the red cushion, there are still dots of light floating, slightly shining an honorary surname.

"Archelot".

Obviously, that seat belonged to the seventh-ranked noble family, that is, Monarch May Lidal Archelot.

"You are late, Archelot."

Everyone looked at her, or closed their eyes to rest, only a young woman sitting in front of the top seat spoke, her tone was undeniably oppressive, Limuru took a closer look, and matched her high ponytail Looking at the opponent's sword eyebrows and cold facial features, the image of this exceptionally strong woman gradually coincided with the description in Limulu's memory.

This should be Lorelei from the Barthumello family, she really doesn't look easy to get along with...

Limuru, who received the elite education and heir-style training in her previous life, immediately began to habitually analyze her personality, the possibility of making friends, and her weaknesses if she becomes an enemy.

Strong elite consciousness, typical strong woman style, it is quite easy to target... But... the other party is a typical aristocratic, and the fact that the family is the first principle of doing things makes Limulu start to have a headache.

This kind of family-oriented character naturally discriminates against other nobles is completely unreasonable, just like blacks wanting to befriend racist whites, it is not impossible, but the difficulty level can be imagined.

Leaving aside the assistant dean who overshadowed the sky for the time being, Limuru slowly followed Lidal into the venue, and began to look at others.

"Anyway, it's early and everyone has nothing to say, right?" Perhaps because she is used to Lorelai's character, Lidel didn't have the slightest fear. The Sovereign she nods back in kindness and nods.

The meeting of all monarchs must involve the struggle between some interests and factions, so no matter how good the relationship between each monarch is in private, he will try his best to maintain seriousness under this kind of plenary meeting, and wish to show that he is absolutely neutral. No one will The public nature of the gang.

Just like when online online, most people will first add a sentence like "pure passers-by, neither fan nor black", which is fake but necessary.

This has led to the fact that even supporters or better factions will not chat casually during the meeting, and even if the monarchs arrive early, they can only make boring eye contact or simply close their eyes to rest.

Just like the old fox of Tranbelio who is in second place now, he seems to have fallen into a deep sleep at this time, like an old man in the twilight who appears to be threatening, but if you know the bottom line, you will know that this old man The guy is the most unshakable authority in the Clock Tower today. The most frightening thing is that he has several wives and more than a dozen daughters at an advanced age. His most famous feature is the abnormally high energy production and strength!

In other words...not to mention extraordinarily durable, amazing resilience!

When Lidel raised her skirt slightly and sat down like a proud princess, Limuru's gaze collided with the smile of the last three nobles.

This made his heart so tight that not only did he not feel the slightest sense of relief, but instead felt a bit of oppression.

That was Inolai, Aozaki Orange's teacher, and he was also a terrifying existence who personally strongly demanded that Aozaki Orange be designated and sealed!

If it is said who he least wants to be associated with in Limulu's analysis, then this democratic old woman is the existence he least wants to contact, because regardless of his own position of aristocratism, no matter whether the aristocracy is supreme The old Barthelmelo is still a feigned treacherous old fox. In the concept accepted by Limulu in his previous life, they are all objects that can be dealt with and analyzed by means.

Only when there is a need means that there is room for relaxation and weakness, and there is the possibility of interference, whether it is being a licking dog or making an enemy.

But Yinolai is different, she is an extremely firm self, an ideal existence that will not be interfered by others, will not be affected by emotions, and is as perfect and cold as a god.

She has a gentle personality and won't get angry. She looks like a kind old lady anytime and anywhere. She likes green hues, but in her heart, even her favorite apprentice can be sacrificed without hesitation. Because it is the "correct" behavior to designate and seal the other party.

Carrying out politics like breathing, and studying magic at will like walking, in her opinion, as long as it is a matter of course, she will act without any interference, and she doesn't even care about any other people's thoughts and opinions.

Her essence, even Aozaki Touko would be terrified in the end, but in Rimuru's view, this kind of heart that has no entanglement and hesitation in itself can no longer be called by human beings.

It was an extremely terrifying, uncontrollable monster.

Therefore, when the seventy-year-old woman showed him a gentle and accepting smile, the first reaction in Limulu's heart turned out to be the horror of being stared at by a giant beast.

Just like scientific researchers would not hesitate to disassemble and take a look at a technology they are interested in, Limulu, who was being targeted by Inolai, took a deep breath, calmly shifted his gaze, and looked at this Kenneth, who was still in the fourth position, rested his arm on the side of the seat and looked at Limuru silently with his chin in his hands—seeing Limuru looking at him, Kenneth also returned a not too far away After nodding with a near smile, an unpretentious darkness slowly solidifies from the topmost action, like a dark night shadow.

After the dean's familiar appeared, it meant that the meeting had officially started.

And this meeting is very simple, except for the decision on the arrangement of new students this year and the allocation of resources among the nobles.

The assassination of Rimuru is also a very important issue.

At this time, Limulu also stood quietly behind Lidel, watching the dispute with cold eyes, trying to figure out which faction was involved, and which faction used it as a sword to add insult to injury...

……

At the same time, a girl with a suitcase is strolling on the streets of Tokyo at this time, her smooth long hair cascading down her long blue dress like a waterfall, making several boys around who just got off the subway hesitate. Wanting to go up and try to ask for a contact information, at this moment, the girl was slightly taken aback, and looked up at the blue bird in the sky: "Mockingbird?"

"Do you have any beads?" Aoko Aozaki tilted his head, raised his slender hand slightly, and snapped his fingers.

The young men who were still peeping at the girl were taken aback for a moment, but the next moment, confusion filled their faces.

What are we... doing here?

However, the place where the girl stayed was already empty.

Chapter 009, The So-called Monarch Conference, That's it?

"Then let's begin, Sir Barethello."

The old fox who was dozing off took the lead in breaking the silence.

"Then, first of all, it is about the funding declaration for the Magic Association..."

As Bamethero's strong and slightly indifferent voice began to talk about issues that needed to be decided by the monarchs collectively, Limulu's mind was still listening carefully from the beginning, and gradually became a little drowsy, with his eyes glazed over. Take a look at the state of the ceiling.

The meeting was going on in an orderly manner, unlike Limulu's imaginary exchange of words and swords, for these almost uncontroversial issues, almost most of the monarchs waited for suggestions with indifference, and then began to second them.

Not only was there no controversy at all, the scene was even quite harmonious for a time, as if it was a routine—until the seventh topic:

"It's an old-fashioned question, about the position of the head of the department of modern magic..."

Bathmelo Lorelei spoke indifferently again, and in her opinion, this was also an undisputed topic.

"If I remember correctly, this is the third year, right?"

Jigumali from the Curse Division stroked the ring on his hand and said uninterestedly.

"Since no one is willing to take over this subject, what's the point of mentioning it every year? My opinion is to keep it as it is, and second it quickly."

According to the usual results, this time it is better to simply skip the second proposal, but this time, an old and calm voice suddenly sounded: "Speaking of which, I heard that this year Archelot has another What a big move."

The old man's words made Limulu startled, and his whole body became energetic. Is it finally about to start? !

The legendary yin and yang strange energy? !

"Huh?" Lidel, who had nothing to do with herself at first, was so distracted that she felt like she was having a principal's meeting when she was a child, she was suddenly provoked and said speechlessly, "What do you mean? Yuri Fez."

"I heard that this year Achelot invested half of his family's assets in the secular communications industry and the so-called... electronic products?" Urifis obviously wasn't very interested in this kind of vocabulary, so he said it Shi Shi habitually frowned and said: "This is suitable for modern magic science, why? Don't you think about it?"

"Heh." Urifis's words obviously brought a tinge of gunpowder to the dull parliament. The middle-aged man in Gaius Ling's seat also glanced at the two monarchs, suddenly chuckled and shook his head helplessly. .

What Urifis said is purely disgusting. The status of the modern magic department is so low that even now there is no monarch to station it. In addition to being looked down upon at the beginning, the funds for this discipline have been divided up by other monarchs for many years, and the urban buildings have not been developed. The entire academic city is like a road. The old streets are average, even the affiliated universities can't compare.

If you accept this city, not only will you not be able to eat, but you will probably have to spend a lot of money in it. After all, students' research and everything will cost money.

Don't think that magicians are not short of money, they are just not short of small money, and the magic family has a lot of patent fee protection, but... think about Rin Tohsaka's magic is a gem.

You know why the Tohsaka family went out to work even though they lived in the castle.

As for Lidal's Archelot, besides being a big dog who started with coal, what other monarchs envy most is not only the ability to make money from the world, but also the mastery of the plant class, which is famous for potions. They can't be ashamed of making money from the secular world, but this plant class... they have been coveting it for a long time!

Since he has the fertile field of the plant class, there is no need for Archelot to intervene in the mess of modern magic, and Urifis probably has no delusion to use this mess to pry his position in the plant class, just to use it to Just feel bad for Lidelle.

Unexpectedly, Lidale raised her eyebrows when she heard this, and nodded, "Okay."

"Um?!"

Hearing this, Gaius Ling and other monarchs who had a decent relationship with Archelot were taken aback. Bamesello even turned over the magic automatic handwritten record book used for recording, but stopped in a daze After making a move, he raised his eyebrows and had to go back.

She asked coldly, "Are you sure?"

It is not that the monarch does not have the right to manage two disciplines at the same time, but it is obvious that managing two cities at the same time can easily become a breakthrough for others. In other words, even if no one targets Lidale this year, since Lidale has taken over the modern magic discipline, she will inevitably need to Build and throw money into it.

So in this way, it’s okay if it’s not built, at most it’s forced to be thrown away when attacked, but this will affect her monarch’s evaluation and certain status and reputation.

But if it is built, no matter whether it is fat or not, it will be a piece of meat. Achelot can't lose the plant class, right?

At that time, it can be foreseen, let alone other people, Urifis will definitely be the first to jump out and make a fuss about this matter, and at the same time force the other party to give up this piece of meat. At that time... whoever can get this piece of cake will be the one It's up to me.

But no matter what, taking over the modern magic department at this time is obviously a thankless task.

"How should I put it?" Lidal raised her head slightly, put her small hands on her delicate cheeks, and said with a chuckle: "It's not that Achelot can't afford to support a science city, but it's actually my car that you look down on. , you can almost buy the entire building of Sla.”

Sla is the name of that academic city.

It is also the star city of the future Princess Weber.

But it has to be said that Lidal's upstart face made the corners of the mouths of Urifis and the others twitch a few times.

Being rich...is it amazing to be rich? !

In fact, other monarchs do not necessarily have less assets than Archelot, but... other monarchs basically spend their money on magic materials and research. It's not that the capitalists can't, but that they can't, because they pursue the root, and naturally need a higher level of knowledge and magic, but what about Archelot?

They rely on the blood of the fucking witch!

Although there are snacks for studying magic, at least they don't need it as much as they do!

Think about it, when they spent tens of millions of assets on the corresponding materials to improve the magic engraving, Achelot's witch only needs to sleep, and the inheritance is over...

Of course, this does not mean that Achelot's family does not need to spend money, they also need to invest a lot of money, but compared with other families, they belong to the witch faction and are good at refining potions, so they are destined to be more "" Save "some, save and save, accidentally save an asset empire...

"But." Facing the speechlessness of the crowd, Lidelle sat up straight after thinking about it and said softly: "I don't think it's useful to win such a subject that you have emptied out, so I thought about it... ..."

Having said that, she turned her head and glanced at Limulu, and turned back with a smile: "I can guarantee the normal operation of this city and the rating standards for next year, um, but I'm quite busy, and I have to go to a concert , so I plan to give... Limuru the seat of the head of the school."

As soon as the words fell, Urifis, who had already guessed a bit, paused slightly with his hands raised on the table, but he didn't say anything. Instead, Monarch Brisisan, who was not far away from the neutral faction, immediately said: "I be opposed to."

Barthamelo Lorelei was silent for a moment, and quickly denied: "The qualification of the head of the school is not something that a lecturer can touch, maybe you can consider changing someone."

"Then put this topic later." Lidal didn't care, and said softly: "Put it behind No. 12 topic."

As soon as the voice fell, the entire conference room was silent for a few seconds.

Urifis withdrew his bamboo-like fingers on the table, and the already cold aura became even more gloomy. He said in an extremely calm, even decadent voice: "You... have already planned it."
