Even though this town is the residence of the clock tower, as far as it is concerned, it is still no different from an ordinary tourist town on the outskirts of London.

Because there is a famous racecourse next to it, there are still many tourists and people who come here, ranging from ordinary small hotels to five-star hotels, but hotels and hotels are very close to the racecourse.The British Royal Riding Center also has a branch here, providing convenient services for tourists who come to ride horses.

However, due to the relationship of the Magic Association, there is no horse betting industry here.There used to be, but later, for some unknown reasons, the government ordered the casino here to be transferred to Casino, so there is only one branch of the Royal Riding Center here.To provide equestrian training qualifications and guidance to tourists.

So people walking on the streets of the small town now occasionally see people passing by on horseback, which can be regarded as a relatively unique style here!

While looking around curiously all the way, the four of them crossed a stone arch bridge and came to a small European-style building with upper and lower floors.Bazzett didn't knock on the door, but directly took out the key and opened the iron gate of the yard.

...Oh, so this is her home.

When Steve said he was looking for a place to live, he thought he was going to stay in a hotel, but Bazzett took them directly to his home.

However, as can be seen from the yard of this home, Bazzett is still a single woman.Because the lawn in her yard is hardly taken care of, that is to say, when she goes out, there is no one in the house.

After pushing open the door of the room, Bazzett did not immediately invite Steve and the others to enter, but said, "You guys just wait at the door, just wait a while."

After speaking, he went straight into the house.

It's just that she said to wait for a while, but everyone knows that... just waiting for a while is absolutely impossible.Lily turned to look at Steve. After shrugging her shoulders, Steve leaned on the door and asked inside, "Do you need help?"

"No need!" A ding ding dong dong sound came from inside, "It will be fine in a while."

"It looks like she's going to do it all by herself."

"but……"

Just as Lily said this, there was a loud bang in the room... It seemed that something large had fallen down.

"Let's go in and see!"

"Ah."

After pushing the door and entering, you can find that this is a typical residence for older female bachelors. All kinds of clothes are thrown everywhere. You can find cosmetics, dirty clothes, fast food from any platform where items can be placed. There are four categories of food and wine glasses.And she herself was crushed under the closet, and it looked like when she tried to stuff clothes inside, she shook the closet to the ground with too much force.

"Are you okay!" Seeing that there was really nowhere to go in the living room, Lily asked softly at the door.

"I'm fine...can you help me get up?" Bazzett could only ask helplessly at this moment.

"no problem."

A light spot lit up on the tip of Lily's index finger. She squatted lightly on the ground and touched it lightly. It was as if the whole room was suddenly teleported into space, and everything floated up.The little witch flicked her finger in the air, and the debris floating in the air was quickly classified into several categories.

Clothes are automatically sorted and folded in the air, and quickly fall on the sofa; leftover food and food packaging automatically fly into the trash can, even dust is no exception, and cosmetics and daily necessities are placed on the same table It was arranged quickly and neatly.And the whole process only took about ten seconds or so to complete.

Bazzett's eyes widened, and after slowly standing up from the ground, she couldn't help but say: "... I have to say that the magic of the Age of Gods is much better in usability than modern magic, and my magic can only be used Just to fight."

"Actually, it's nothing." After doing all this, Lily walked in very casually: "Humans use technology and labor to replace this technology. To put it bluntly, you don't have enough resources. If you can hire a maid to maintain this place every day In terms of environment, there is actually no need to use magic to solve everything like us in the Age of Gods, the cost is very high."

Lily spoke casually, but the pride in her relaxed manner was palpable.It's not a good feeling for a woman to be compared by the other party in terms of female power, but Bazzett didn't intend to hate her, but changed the subject: "You guys just live with me!"

"Will it be inconvenient? There are still hotels nearby!" Steve really didn't want to bother the other party here if possible.

"The hotels near here are closely monitored by the association. I don't want you to be taken away by others before I bring you into the association, so let's make do with it here!"

It doesn't make any difference to Steve and the others where they live, but it makes a difference to him.After Bazzett expressed it frankly, after Steve noticed the eyes of Lily and Lan, he knew that both of them were waiting for him to make up his mind.

"Okay! Then here it is."

Hearing what Steve said, Bazzett nodded: "Well, thank you. I have submitted the application a few days ago, and the scheduled meeting time is tomorrow, so I will trouble you to be wronged here all night, the place is a bit small, Sorry."

"Oh, there is no problem with this, it can be expanded."

·

Bazzett didn't think too much about Steve's "expansion", so she went upstairs by herself.The living room was cleaned by Lily for the time being, but the guest room upstairs still had to be tidied up, so she went to do it herself.But when she stuffed the dirty clothes into the washing machine, made the bed, cleaned the floor, and came down to ask them who slept in the guest room and who slept on the sofa, she suddenly found that none of the three were downstairs.

...Did it go out?

Just when Bazzett was thinking this way, he suddenly found that there was an extra staircase next to the living room of his home.

With a bad premonition in her heart, she came to the staircase and walked down cautiously.

...It turned out to be a spiral staircase...

...It's actually quite long...

...Where does this staircase extend?

Bazzett felt that he had walked down for about 10 minutes, roughly counting the stairs of about [-] floors, and his eyes suddenly opened up.

A vast underground space appeared in front of him.Its structure is an ordinary square, which does not look complicated at all.It’s just that the ceiling is about 30 meters from the ground, making this place look like a huge underground garage that runs through up and down. The strange lighting tools that Steve showed make this place as bright as day.

At 30 meters underground a house has been built on the ground, and I don't know where Steve is laying sod that he doesn't know where he got it.

"What are you doing?" Bazzett asked, but the loud echo from her mouth startled herself.

"It's nothing, it's just building a stronghold." Lily's voice came from her side.

Chapter 516 Small town [[-]]

"A stronghold?" Bazzett looked at the huge underground space dumbfounded, "Why do you want to build a stronghold?"

"Convenient!" Steve just walked over from the opposite side, holding a strangely shaped and useless item in his hand, "As long as you build a teleportation array, you can get here at any time."

Hearing what Steve said, Bazzett finally couldn't hold back: "Don't just use other people's homes as a stronghold!"

"This isn't your home!" Lily said from behind, laughing, "This place is just below your home. According to your property rights, it doesn't belong to you both above and below ground."

"..."

Bazzett was flabbergasted, but Steve asked in surprise, "Have you even checked this?"

"I'm just talking casually. I don't need to think about it, but I know that the government can't give an individual an area 100 meters underground." Lily was not angry when Steve poked her, but smiled mischievously.

The mood of Steve's master and servant was very relaxed, but Bazzett didn't think so. She frowned and looked at the two people who were talking and laughing with ease: "You...do you understand where you are now?"

"Huh?" Steve didn't understand why Bazzett's expression was suddenly so serious, although she usually seemed to be like this, "In the Magic Association!"

"Yes, this is within the direct control of the Magic Association, so please act cautiously, otherwise you will encounter unexpected troubles!" Bazett warned sharply, "Your magic is very powerful, but in case What if you touched some important underground facility?"

"An important underground facility?" Steve was taken aback, then pointed in a certain direction behind him: "Is that what you mean?"

"Uh……"

Bazzett's serious face instantly froze. She did this just to warn Steve, but she didn't expect it to be too late.Her gaze followed Steve's fingers and looked over there. There was a tunnel formed by unusually regular square stones. Somewhere in the tunnel, there was obviously an artificial stone slab with a completely different texture from the surrounding stones.

Seeing the pattern on the stone slab, Bazett was stunned for two seconds and then suddenly said: "You...you won't have dug into an underground prison, have you?"

"Underground prison?" Steve used interrogative sentences, but showed a dazed expression, "Oh, no wonder!"

"No wonder?"

"When I dug it up, I saw a strange thing. I was shocked and knocked to death."

"...Let me take a look first."

·

Coming to this dark cave entrance, Bazzett's mood was very complicated.

The underground prison of the clock tower is not a particularly secret for magicians, but it is also a taboo.Those who endanger the magicians as a whole, or those with special talents, will be sealed here.That is to say, it is similar to the existence of a "mental hospital" at the level of a magician. Of course, the criteria for judging "illness" here may be very different from the secular standards.

All in all, this is a place that ordinary magicians are not easy to touch, and they don't want to touch it, because for magicians who yearn for mystery, being permanently sealed is actually tantamount to death.

But now, the stone slab in front of him has been knocked open, and a hollow and deep sound came from the two-block-high black-painted door, and it was unknown what it was coming from.As the executor, although Bazzett is responsible for the investigation and execution of the designated seal, it does not mean that the agent understands what the jailer's working environment is like.Bazzett had never been in this place before, and he only knew that it was a place from which he could not come out.

After hesitating at the entrance of the cave for a while, Bazzett turned around and looked up at Steve: "...haven't you gone in yet?"

"not yet."

"That didn't cause any commotion!"

"Except for the dark thing that I just knocked to death, there is nothing to follow."

"Then seal this place now, or we'll be in big trouble."

"Oh."

The expression on Steve's answer was rather reluctance.This made Bazzett feel very dangerous. Although magicians are basically guys who do their own thing, it is the first time I have seen someone who has no fear of the designated sealed underground prison... Oh, yes, this guy started Didn't even know about the Magic Association.

Realizing this, Bazzett suddenly covered her face, and she suddenly felt that her negligence at work might almost cause a big mess in the Magic Association.

"I said, do you know what this place is for?"

"Since it's a prison, it's where the prisoners are held!" Steve answered naturally.

"Yes, but it's not as simple as just detaining prisoners." Glancing at the dark space, Bazzett removed the expression on his face and said in a calm tone as much as possible, "Social crimes are important to the association." It doesn't matter, most magicians have killed people, magicians themselves have good and evil, these are the price of pursuing mystery, it is the path chosen by the magician himself, and the Association will not interfere."

"Oh……"

"But everything has a degree. If the impact of what the magician himself does has affected all the magicians, for example, if he does something that may expose the association to the public, then the magician will was designated to be sealed."

"...It feels like I've done this kind of thing before." Steve whispered.

"What did you just say? I didn't catch it."

"Oh, it's nothing, you continue, so the designated seal is locked here?" Steve immediately changed the subject.

I was a little concerned about what Steve had just muttered, but Bazzett still didn't dwell on it: "Yes, but the designation of the seal is not as simple as being imprisoned. Magicians are very human, and it's hard to imagine what they would do. Therefore, when the seal is designated, the necessary organs are generally removed, and then the body is soaked in formalin."

"Uh... your association is a bit heavy!" Steve grinned.

"It's just a necessary means," Basset paused at this point. "Besides, those who have more precious talents will also be used as specimens and become the targets of the designated seal."

Steve was taken aback by Bazzett's words, and he immediately understood what the other party wanted to say: "For example, my ability?"

"It's just possible, but it's not very likely," Bazzett said with a serious expression. "The prerequisite for being recognized as a treasured talent and requiring a designated seal is to know what kind of talent it is, and to be honest, I don't understand your magic. , It's normal if you don't understand it, magic is something that requires mystery, the fewer people who know it, the better it is, unless you admit that your ability is something you were born with."

"..." Steve looked at Lily with puzzled eyes. It was obvious that Steve didn't quite understand the boundary between "inborn" and "mysterious".

Noticing Steve's eyes, the little witch didn't use the sound transmission of the contract, but came over and listened: "Master, it's actually very simple, you just need to tell others that your ability is technology rather than talent."

"Oh..." Steve nodded repeatedly.

I didn't hear what the master and servant were whispering, and Bazet was not interested in this, "So, now that the things here have not been discovered, you have to quickly restore this place to its original state, otherwise it will definitely be destroyed. There's been a lot of trouble, I can assure you."

Chapter 517 Small Town [V]

In theory, Bazzett's warning to Steve was completely useless.After all, you can't tell a chief how important the United Nations is, they are only sensitive to Europeans.

But fortunately, Steve didn't come here to accomplish anything this time, but came here out of a little curiosity about the magic society.

Generally speaking, a lion can only be regarded as a big cat when it is full, and it is no problem to hold and suck.So Steve listened to the other party's advice without thinking too much, took out the square "dongdong" twice, and sealed the hole of the underground prison.

It wasn't the first time Bazzett saw Steve do such a thing, so he just took it as his special magic, so he was very satisfied with his reaction.

Lily exchanged glances with Yakumolan knowingly, and the nine-tailed fox nodded imperceptibly.

Probably because of his keenness as a combatant, Bazzett noticed Lan's action, so he gave Lan a puzzled look.Lan didn't explain, and didn't evade, but just responded with a kind smile, amiable and seamless.

Faced with such kindness, Bazett's doubts became even heavier.

...Why do I have the illusion that I am being watched.

Shaking his head to get rid of this strange feeling in his mind, Bazet said again: "There are many taboos in the association, but there are also many benefits. If you choose to join the association, you can sell your magic papers in the association. This is also one of the means by which many magicians make a living."

"Huh? Isn't magic the more powerful the less people know about it? Even if it's like this, it will be sold?"

"Well! Although there are mysterious sayings, the effect is still not obvious in the mortal class. There are specializations in the magic industry, and there are always accidental discoveries for magicians, but there are many unimportant magic tricks. And there is no limit It is magic knowledge itself, and magic creations can also be sold."

"Oh, actually I care more about what I can buy."

Seeing Steve's appearance that he was not short of money, Bazzett smiled: "Money can only buy the ordinary magic of those poor magicians, and many magics still need to be exchanged with magic. You have to understand that it will last for a hundred years. It is impossible for the family of magicians to be cash-strapped."

"Yes." Steve nodded.

Bazzett knows that any magician is "stingy" in this regard, so he doesn't intend to dwell on it: "Anyway, before tomorrow, I still hope that you can settle down a bit, this is the clock tower. "

"Oh."

Steve answered in the tone of a disobedient student, but Bazzett only took it as a small revolt, because she didn't think Steve really dared to dig the underground prison.At least in the eyes of a Magic Association executive, no magician with a little common sense would do this.

But she probably wouldn't have thought that the reason she thought was the most likely was the one Steve didn't care about the most.Knowing this, after watching Bazzett leave, Lily asked, "Master, are you really going to stop doing this?"

"Ah."

The nodding Steve made Lily look surprised, but Steve quickly added: "Without breaking through this wall, investigate what's inside, and if there's anything interesting, remember tell me."

Lily has already put on a look of "I knew it": "I know..."

But just when she agreed, she found that Steve was packing up her tools, so she asked casually, "Then where are you going now?"

"Go and see what this Magic Association sells." After speaking, he turned his head and walked towards the entrance of the corridor.
