Among them, the bloodline heir of the First Magician can be considered as a member of the Clock Tower.
Only the Aozaki family, who obtained magic because of their incredible luck and "picked up" the root channel, did not care about the rules of the aristocratic circle of the Magic Association at all, and started with the most violent revenge.
However, what made Barthelmero feel a little relieved was that the new magician had a culprit for his grievances. Apart from Baruyereta and the Creation Department, he did not vent his anger on other departments of the Clock Tower. This was a blessing in disguise.
Chapter 63: Crown Decision
One third of the Department of Creation's building was destroyed by the Fourth Magician, and even the monarch Barueretta, one of the three great nobles, died. This was undoubtedly earth-shattering news in the Clock Tower.
Even the life of an insignificant person like Webber Velvet was affected.
Because his mentor, Lord El-Melloi, has been busy with the affairs of the Creation Department and the Creation Department Lord recently and has no time to teach them.
So Weber and his classmates had to stay in the classroom to study on their own every day, or have another magician teach their class a few classes.
"Hey, Weber." The voice of the bad friend sounded beside Weber who was studying seriously, "It would be great if I had the chance to meet those two beautiful sisters who came to the classroom to audit the class last time~"
"If I were you, I wouldn't think so." Waver looked up and glanced at his bad friend. "Do you remember the unlucky girl who stood outside the classroom door for an entire afternoon? She was obviously attacked by a high-level Mystic Eye. I don't want to turn into a stone for no reason one day, so no matter how beautiful that girl is, I don't want to get close to her."
"Alas, you are such a boring guy with no dreams, Weber." The bad friend shook his head and patted Weber's shoulder with a sigh. "Most of the magicians who can possess the Mystic Eyes come from very powerful magic families, so if we can get in touch with them, it will definitely be a good thing for our development."
"Dreams are wonderful, but reality is cruel," Weber shook his head helplessly and said, "Instead of daydreaming here, you might as well work hard to improve yourself, Melvin."
"Besides, as a native of Tramberio, is there any need for you to establish connections?" Weber asked his friend in confusion.
"Too superficial," Melvin shook his index finger and said to Weber mysteriously, "First of all, not to mention that the Wieners family is just a branch of Tramberio, those two girls are more than they seem, Weber!"
"Is there anything special about them?" Weber's curiosity was aroused. After all, he was still a teenager and his curiosity about many things was very strong.
"Do you know the title 'Grand Puppet Master'?" Melvin asked mysteriously.
“Grandmaster?” Waver Velvet frowned and thought, “You mean the genius magician who escaped from the Clock Tower because he was sealed?”
"That's right!" Melvin said, "'Grand Puppet Master' Aozaki Touko, once the 'Magic Egg', later according to rumors, ran away from home because the Fourth Magician temporarily changed the heir, and came to the Clock Tower to study. However, because of her outstanding achievements, after obtaining the title of Grand Master, the Monarch of the Creation Department proposed to seal her."
"What does this big shot have to do with us?" Weber asked in confusion, "Aren't we talking about the auditor that day?"
"I wonder if you have noticed," Melvin whispered, "the child next to the red-haired girl looks a lot like the Grand Puppet Master?"
"Hmm?" Waver was even more confused. "You mean, that little girl is Aozaki Touko's sister who inherited the fifth magic?"
"I didn't say that, Weber. You misunderstood," Melvin shook his head and denied it. "I mean, is it possible that the little girl is the Grand Puppet Master?"
“Huh?” Waver Velvet looked at his friend with a puzzled expression. “I remember that the champion is almost twenty years old, right?”
"That involves a battle of magic, Weber," Melvin said meaningfully, "You need to have a little imagination. It is not impossible to become a child again in the face of magic."
"Wait a minute," Waver seemed to suddenly react, "If that little girl is Ms. Aozaki Touko, then the red-haired girl could be..."
When the two of them talked about this, they suddenly stopped, because no one wanted to state the obvious answer.
"Have you heard about the Creative Science incident?" After a long while, Melvin spoke again.
"...Is there anyone in the Clock Tower who doesn't know about this?" Waver replied, "Rather, if there are people who don't know about the death of a monarch and the severe damage to the Department of Creation, then it would be called news."
"That's right," Melvin agreed. "The monarch died just after our class ended for the day and the two ladies left."
Although Waver Velvet was mediocre in terms of his talent in magic, his talent as an analyst and researcher was outstanding.
In other words, he had a very sharp mind. Although Melvin did not state his conclusion clearly, Weber immediately understood the logic behind his words.
The inheritance of the fifth magic has ended. The Aozaki sisters came for revenge, and it was them who killed the monarch and destroyed one third of the Creation Department.
Weber suddenly felt a little stomachache. Although he always thought that he was a man whose talent was not recognized, he was still a little scared when he almost got involved with a big shot like a magician.
"By the way, I'll give you a little free information, Weber," Melvin said in a relaxed tone, "The Crown Resolution is about to begin, and even Mag Daniel Tranberio Elrod is participating in the meeting."
"It probably involves the redistribution of various interests," Weber closed the book and sighed. "Anyway, it has nothing to do with a small person like me for the time being."

While Aoko and Orange were staying in the luxurious hotel, the decision on the title of Grand Master was held in the meeting room at the Dragon's Heart, deepest underground of the Clock Tower.
Although the Heart of Albion stopped beating in the distant past, the vast amount of Divine Aether contained in it still transformed the meeting room area (heart area) of the Grand Decision into a place where magic from the outside world cannot be effective at all.
In other words, the contents discussed by the Clock Tower monarchs in the meeting will never be leaked.
The primary content of this resolution is to discuss how to distribute the interests left vacant by the death of Monarch Baruyereta.
The second issue is about how to deal with the new fourth magician, Aozaki Aoko, and the seal and fate of her sister Aozaki Touko.
Among the people who participated in the meeting, except for Baruyereta who had died, Jigumare who rarely met outsiders, Hatres who was not a monarch, and Animusphia who was said to be unable to attend the meeting because her magic experiment was at a critical juncture, the remaining academic leaders were all present.
Kenneth El-Melloi Archipelago, who was very young for a monarch, was fully armed and sat in his seat with aristocratic demeanor, looking a little nervous.
Chapter 64: The Queen of the Clock Tower
Although Kenneth is an excellent and talented magician, even for him, coming to this environment filled with the divine ether, the pressure he is under is enormous.
Rather, the fact that someone as young as him can move freely in the Dragon's Heart area has proven his talent.
For modern magicians, the True Aether from the Age of Gods is poison, and although the magical environment within the Dragon's Heart is not exactly the same as that of the Age of Gods, it is probably quite close.
If a magician's strength is even slightly insufficient, he will immediately become poisoned, and his entire body's physiological functions will rapidly weaken, leading to death.
Albion represents not only antiquity, but also an area that has not been affected by human rule.
In other words, the history here follows the line that the Age of Gods has never faded away and humans and gods have never separated. It can be said to be the if of pan-human history.
This is the greatest legacy of the London Magic Society and the premise for the establishment of the Magic Society as an organization.
Passing through the corridor formed by the magic circuits of the Lost Dragon, you will reach the meeting room where the Grand Decision is held.
A huge circular room, illuminated by a strange magical light. In the center of the room stood a round table of unknown material - it was definitely not brought down from the ground.
Over the past thousands of years, this round table has witnessed countless meetings held by the monarchs of the Clock Tower and determined the tragic fate of many magicians.
And now, all the participants have arrived, and the championship decision is about to begin.
Sitting on the left side of the table were the monarchs representing the Democratic faction, the most prominent of which was the tall and muscular monarch of the General Basic Department, Mag Daniel Tranberio Elrod.
There was a vacant seat next to Monarch Tramberio. It was the seat that originally belonged to Monarch Baruyereta, but now she is dead and it became one of the topics of today's meeting.
Seated on the right side of the table are the monarchs representing the Aristocratic faction, including the Monarch of the Mineral Division, Kenneth El-Melloi Archipelago, the Monarch of the Spirit Division, Lufreius Nazaire Euripides, the Monarch of the Plant Division, May Lidel Archelot, and the Monarch of the Animal Division, Gaius Ling (full name unknown).
The Astronomy Lord Marisbili Animusphia, who was supposed to be present, was absent due to an important experiment, and delegated the voting power to the Law and Politics Lord Barthemero, who was also from the Aristocratic faction.
The monarchs of the neutralist faction sat in front of the round table, but many of them were absent, such as the always mysterious Cursed Monarch Jigumalie.
As the leader of the Clock Tower, the head of the Barthelmero family, and the monarch of the Law and Politics Department, Barthelmero Lorelei sat at the top of the round table, responsible for convening and presiding over this crown resolution.
She looked like a teenage girl, but none of the monarchs present dared to look down on or neglect the young queen, because she was undoubtedly "the pinnacle of contemporary magicians."
She herself does not possess any special kind of magic, but she is the most orthodox magician, reaching the pinnacle of ability in all aspects, and her magic characteristics are also omnipotent.
The number and quality of Barthelmero Lorelei's magic circuits are at the top of human magicians. He is a "finished product" as a magician from birth.
Her family's method of training heirs is very special. Adhering to the concept of "as long as they haven't reached the top, they won't be let out of the family", Barthelmero Lorelei has become what she is now when she debuted.
The special growing environment also made Lorelai have no interest in things like kinship and family, and she was a complete aristocrat.
However, if someone mistakenly thinks that she is a bad person who is very interested in exploitation, it is a big mistake. In the eyes of Barthelmero Lorelei, the so-called bourgeoisie/ruling class and the proletariat/working class are actually the same. She only cares about a person's ability and characteristics.
It was for this reason that when Barthelmero Lorelei learned that Aoko, as a new magician, had killed the monarch of his old rival Baruyereta, the first emotion he felt was a strong curiosity.
She knew very well the strength of the old fox Inole. Even if she went into battle personally, it would not be so easy to deal with the old fox.
It was precisely because Aoko defeated Inole so beautifully that Barthelmero Lorelei recognized Aozaki Aoko from the bottom of his heart. This was not something that a young man who had merely inherited the fifth magic could do.
The Queen of the Clock Tower was only dissatisfied with this sudden incident because Qingzi left directly after the fight instead of coming to talk to her as the leader, which was somewhat disrespectful to the Clock Tower.
The remaining problems are all good things for the Barthemero family, and she is so happy that she can’t contain herself.

"It's the same as usual. All the people who came to the meeting are old faces." Lord Tremberio said with a sigh, "It's not good for us old guys to always occupy these positions. Don't you think so? Lord Euripides?"
"Humph," an old man with gray hair, a slightly hunched back, and yellow teeth said disdainfully, "What nonsense are you talking about, Mag Daniel?"
"Oh, what I mean is, if Lord Baruyereta were still alive, she would probably say something similar, right?" Lord Trumberio said indifferently, "After all, her philosophy has always been to insist that 'even magicians still need metabolism', right?"
"So she died and gave up her position," said Lord Euripides with a malicious smile. "In a sense, she was able to carry out her will, so it can be said that she died a worthy death."
"It's really sad that you say that," said Monarch Tranberio in a lamenting tone, "After all, she is an old colleague who has worked together for many years. I would like to pay tribute to her on behalf of Mistyr (all basic departments)."
"That's what I hate most about you democrats," said the monarch Euripides disdainfully, "hypocrisy."
"Alright!" Barthelmero Lorelei, who was sitting in the upper seat, raised his voice and interrupted the discussion of the monarchs. "Don't waste any more time. The decision on the crown will begin now!"
After hearing the leader's order, even though they were from different factions, the monarchs stopped talking to each other and focused their attention on Barthelmero.
"The first topic," Barthelmero Lorelei said in a deep voice, "is about how to redistribute the share of spell bodies left vacant after the death of the Creation Department monarch Baruyereta. Please speak in order."
Chapter 65 The meeting ends
After a series of lengthy verbal exchanges full of hypocritical official language, the monarchs of the Clock Tower reached a consensus.
Because of the need to consider the balance between many factions, it was finally decided that the 50% of the vacant spell body shares would be distributed among the democratic party.
In other words, the family of Monarch Tramberio, the only current member of the Democratic Party.
Of the remaining share, 30% was distributed among the many families of the neutral faction, and only 20% was distributed to the aristocratic faction.
Although the families of the noble faction were dissatisfied, they were also well aware of the importance of the balance between factions in the Clock Tower. If the democratic faction weakened too much, the neutral faction would probably become the new democratic faction. At least Tramberio didn't mind joining them.
Moreover, due to the death of the monarch Baruyeleta, the position of the monarch of the Creation Department has been vacated. This time, the decision on the crown also requires the temporary election of an acting monarch. The Baruyeleta family, which has lost the main body of the imprint and only has the branches left, is obviously not qualified to continue to serve as the monarch.
After another verbal battle, the duties of the Creationist monarch were temporarily assumed by Mag Daniel Tramberio Elrod until a democratic family strong enough to support the title of monarch was elected within the Clock Tower.
"Then, the next topic." Barthelmero Lorelai said to everyone, "Do you support giving the fourth magician Aozaki Aoko the title of 'Blue' of the three primary colors?"
The voting began. As a representative of the democrats whose interests were harmed this time, Monarch Tremberio naturally voted against it, but this had nothing to do with personal likes and dislikes. It was simply a judgment based on his own interests.
After some hesitation, Kenneth El-Melloi Archipelago voted in favor, as did most of the other aristocratic factions.
The leader, Barthelmero Lorelei, also voted in favor. Personally, Lorelei admired Aozaki Aoko very much. Besides, the Barthelmero family also benefited from Aoko's actions this time, so it was natural for her to vote in favor.
