The second generation looked at the canine-like beautiful boy with sparkling eyes, who was expecting something, then glanced at the pink-haired ball in the group photo on the table and sighed.
"It took only one year from learning magic to showing results. After publishing the thesis, she was immediately awarded a position by the Clock Tower. The monarch of the Celestial System who somehow learned about Li Lin's specific situation even came to me more than once to poach her, hoping that I would let her join their faction. To be honest, I have nothing to teach her anymore. If she graduates now, it will only be a matter of time before Li Lin becomes a magician on her own."
In fact, El-Melloi II also discovered that in addition to English, Li Lin was also proficient in German, French, and Japanese, and even in Chinese, which is known as the most difficult language in the world, as well as his native language.
He is approachable and amiable, but he is merciless towards his enemies and also has the cold side of a magician.
If one must give him an evaluation, El-Melloi II can only call him perfect, the typical genius kid next door that parents talk about.
Talking about a certain pink-haired ball, a helpless bitter smile appeared on the second's face, and then he looked at Flatt with some disappointment.
"Tell me, Flatt, at what age do you plan to graduate? You should know that college students in the ordinary world don't continue their studies, and can graduate from school at the latest at the age of 24 to 25."
"Can we not talk about this?"
Hearing this, the happy smile on the blond canine boy's face froze, and even gradually turned into embarrassment.
"In the last exam, you were third from the bottom, right?"
The Second accidentally revealed a malicious smile, and Flatt also turned his face away with a wry smile.
"That child has the qualifications to fly in a sky that is farther away and beyond our reach. She should step onto a vast stage that we cannot imagine, or that ordinary magicians cannot imagine. And as a teacher, I should let her spread her wings and fly freely."
Recalling the pink color that appeared in his mind, the Second smiled knowingly.
"I don't know what she went through in the past, and I don't want to explore it. After all, I am just one of the countless teachers in her life, but she respects me as a teacher from the bottom of her heart, so I am willing to teach her everything I know."
Putting down the empty cup, the Second said with emotion, Flatt.
"Perhaps you can't believe it. But I see some possibility in Li Lin."
"possibility?"
"The possibility of becoming a hero who changes the world." The Second said with a wry smile. "Sounds weird, right? Even I'm beginning to question whether I'm blinded by working too much overtime."
......
Small and somewhat crowded office.
The cabinets on both sides are filled with books related to the mystery and various precious materials soaked in magic solutions.
Relatively speaking, there is only space for two long sofas and a coffee table to accommodate guests, and the only light in the room comes from the glass window behind the desk.
In layman's terms, it is for the sake of impact. The presence of the person sitting at the desk should be shown to people who walk in at the first moment, while also taking practicality into consideration.
So... is this the only trick these magicians have in their heads? No wonder the Clock Tower is losing talent.
"El-Melloi II recommended you to me, Li Lin."
Maintaining Commander Ikari's signature gesture, the old man with bright eyes looked kindly at Li Lin, who was sitting obediently on the sofa.
The Minister of Summoning Science, Rocco Belfebon, is also the person in charge of receiving the Master of the Clock Tower in the Holy Grail War.
"He was taken in by El-Melloi II a year ago, and then entered the Clock Tower to study. Coincidentally, this year the patriarch of the Thousand World Tree Family, the abominable Danic, announced his departure from the Clock Tower and announced that he had seized the Greater Holy Grail during the Third World War."
"Huh? Old man, do you think I'm a vampire of the Thousand Worlds Tree?"
"No, since he is sure to vouch for you, I naturally don't doubt his judgment of people."
Shaking his head, the old man's words revealed his trust in El-Melloi II.
"But, unfortunately, Li Lin, you are a little late. The seven masters of the Clock Tower, that is, our red team, have all been decided."
"But you still received me in person. I'm afraid you didn't just want to announce this boring result to me. If you really don't want to take me with you, you can just ask the teacher to say it."
As the dean of the Summoning Department, Luo Ke was always very busy, so naturally he couldn't have the leisure to announce such a boring thing to Li Lin in person.
"You are very good, just as the other instructors say. I was a little worried about you because the other masters are all well-known magicians. I was quite hesitant to let you join as a junior." Rocco said. "But now it seems that you should not have any big problems, at least as a master."
"Wait a minute, didn't you say that the seven masters have been decided? There's no reason for the other magicians to give up their positions to me, right?"
"Indeed, generally speaking, there are only seven Masters in the Holy Grail War—"
The old man deliberately prolonged his voice, as if to whet Li Lin's appetite, but he quickly restrained his evil taste.
"But who has ever said that "illegal summoning" is not allowed? Since the Einzberns can do it, why can't we in the Clock Tower?"
He smiled maliciously, and handed over the magic book that contained the illegal summoning method.
"A replica of the illegal summoning method may summon one of the Avengers or the Ruler. Of course, it may also be a Servant with other unconventional job classes."
Chapter 12: The Magician's Lion-like Guard
Generally speaking, in the Holy Grail War, the Greater Holy Grail will select seven Masters to fight against each other.
Of course, the emergency system built into the Holy Grail will add seven more servants when the seven servants are united into one force, but there is another unique special system outside of this structure.
Illegal call.
Either Avenger or Ruler may be summoned.
Of course, it is also possible that they are servants with other unconventional occupations.
For example, Foreigner, Monster, Launcher, Gorgeous, Idol, Faker and so on. Of course, it is not impossible for there to be other professions besides those listed above.
In short, illegal summoning is a very metaphysical thing, just like a gashapon.
"Oh my. You are really mean, old man. You actually cheated."
Having said that, Li Lin still had a happy smile on his face and accepted the magic book handed over by the old man.
"You're the one who says cheating is bad, but you accept the cheating props, right?"
The Minister of Summoning Science simply shrugged in response to Li Lin's groundless accusations.
"However, since you can summon them illegally, why don't you find more masters? You can crush the opponent with just numbers, right?"
"First, there are not enough people who can serve as Masters. Second, summoning Servants requires a suitable medium, and the relics that can summon powerful Heroic Spirits are even rarer."
"That's right."
The older and more powerful the hero, the more valuable the items closely related to him are, especially those holy relics whose mystery has not yet faded. Even though the Magician's Association is huge, it is not yet at the point where it can give one to every Master.
Reality is not a game, and if you simply gamble your luck, there is a great possibility that you will summon some restless or extremely dangerous Servants, or there may be no Heroic Spirit willing to pay attention to the Master at all. This is a painful lesson that has existed in all the Holy Grail Wars of the past.
Then, in Li Lin's confused eyes, the old man took out a box from the drawer, and inside was an ancient and mysterious key.
The texture of the key itself looks like silver. Just by placing it there, Li Lin can feel a strange atmosphere, like a sigh coming from the mysterious eternity. This key is attached with some kind of mystery that cannot be understood by human intelligence.
If he roughly estimated the exact age of this thing, Li Lin would at least think that it was something that was left behind hundreds or even thousands of years ago, but what was even more suspicious was that time had not left any traces on it.
It shouldn't be an illusion. Li Lin always felt that this thing looked unusually familiar.
"Even if it's an illegal summoning, an excellent medium is necessary, so the Clock Tower prepared this. It's said to be something left behind by a family of magi that was exterminated for no reason. Although the Archaeology Department of the Clock Tower has not been able to investigate the specific origin of this key so far, it is certain that this key contains a kind of wisdom that humans cannot understand."
No, I think the magician who would actively accept this thing is the truly "wise". No matter how you look at it, it is too ominous.
"This is the most secret treasure among the holy relics kept in the Clock Tower."
When the old man said this, there was even a hint of pride in his tone.
"I appreciate your kindness. In fact, one of my friends has already prepared a relic for me, so I don't intend to accept this."
It is true that Li Lin is a magician, and her curiosity is urging her to take the strange key, but precisely because of this, she will not take it.
Although the desire for knowledge is good, Li Lin is not crazy enough to sacrifice his life for the truth.
Even though the holy relic that Ai Ge gave to Li Lin also had an unknown origin, since Ai Ge said that Li Lin asked her to "keep" it and hand it over to the current "Li Lin", there must be no problem. On important issues, Li Lin still barely trusted herself.
If you can't even trust yourself, who else can you trust?
"You prepared the relic in advance. Could it be that Leif... or the little girl from the Animusphia family prepared it for you... Well, that's fine. Since it's your opinion, there's no need for me to force it."
The old man, who had imagined the whole process in his mind, nodded in understanding.
Li Lin has a good relationship with Leif and the next monarch of the Tian system. This is no secret in the Clock Tower.
"Come to think of it, I remember that the Holy Church will also send agents to assist the Clock Tower this time, is that right?"
"You are as well-informed as ever. As expected of a magician who will be the right-hand man of the next generation of the El-Melloi monarch."
"I have no intention of assisting Lanis. I will repay the El-Melloi family's kindness in my own way." Li Lin raised his eyebrows. "Old man, what is the name and identity of the agent sent by the Holy Church?"
"I'm sorry. All I know is his name. I think he's... a priest named Shirou."
After thinking for a moment, the old man gave Li Lin the answer he expected.
Although Li Lin had previously sorted out the ins and outs of this Holy Grail War through his memories of his past life, it still had some special significance when the other party said it in person.
"Is it someone you know?"
"No, I don't know that name."
It is Amakusa as expected.
After getting the answer from the old man, Li Lin felt a little relieved, but still a little discouraged.
"One more thing. Although other masters have been selected in advance, it's best if you start summoning next week."
"Oh? Can you tell me the specific reason?"
"Some of them have not yet reached the Clock Tower, so... the relic they were supposed to take is still in my hands."
"No problem. I was the last one to arrive, so it's okay for me to wait for them for a while."
The reason why it is called an illegal summoning is that the ritual is performed when the seven servants are already present. The other party is probably afraid that problems may arise due to some accidents.
After all, Li Lin is just an open-position magician. Even if he has amazing talent, it is only talent. It takes time to become real strength. She thinks that the Clock Tower has done this, or that the Second World has secured such an opportunity for her, by providing Li Lin with the method of illegal summoning and holy relics.
"Don't worry. They are all very strong magicians. It's worth looking forward to them."
Yes, very strong, invincible.
These magicians with ordinary faces wiped out Amakusa Shiro and Tokisada before they even made their official debut.
There's no hope at all. At least we should be on guard against the Holy Church, which is the mortal enemy of the Clock Tower.
"Well, there is one more thing, and of course this is the last thing I want to explain."
"?"
"You may come in now. This child is your target of protection during this Holy Grail War."
As Li Lin watched, the old man knocked on the table.
"Hey, long time no see. No, I should say we just met yesterday, young lady."
The lion-like magician stood at the door, raised his hand very politely and showed a heroic smile.
"Professor Rocco, what are you and him doing?"
"Don't look at me. I was just asked to pass on a message. El-Melloi II hired Shishi Jie, who was also a participant in the Holy Grail War, as your bodyguard. The contract is to protect your personal safety until the end of the war. Of course, if you compete with him for the Holy Grail or actively backstab him, this contract will be automatically terminated."
——You care too much! Mr. El-Melloi!
Recommend a friend's book =v=
"It is impossible for the Moon World to hold a LOL competition"
Introduction: In the final of the Type-Moon Cup League of Legends Global Finals S10, the Round Table Knights were defeated by the Uruk team again and won the runner-up.
After the game, the top ADC of the Knights of the Round Table, A-Cha, left the Knights of the Round Table due to some problems with the top laner Altria. He came to Fuyuki City, which had failed to qualify for the global finals every year, and joined a small 18th-tier team called Team Emiya.
"I'm sure the worst decision I made in my life was to listen to Alaya's stupid words and join Team Emiya... I was wrong. This is the best decision I've made in my life. Airi and Kiritsugu, can you put down your kitchen knives and knives?"
Team Emiya: Top laner - All beings are equal Emiya Shirou, Jungler - Inherent Time Domain Jungler Emiya Kiritsugu, Mid laner - Illya, a 50-50 match between me and the great devil Gilgamesh, ADC - A-Cha, the projection maniac, Support - Irisviel, the canyon god, can they create a legend of their own?
Chapter 13: The Arrogance of God
El-Melloi II hired the FA true hero, Shishi Jiejieli, as Li Lin's bodyguard.
But rather than being a guard, it would be more accurate to say that he persuaded this man to become an ally until the Thousand World Tree Clan is defeated.
Again.
Li Lin appreciated the kindness, but she couldn't accept it.
It’s not that he is dissatisfied. As a magician, Lion Jie has excellent combat experience and can even be compared with Danic, who has lived for nearly a hundred years.
Contrary to his ferocious appearance, he is extremely meticulous, bold, calm, cheerful, alert, and good at observing people's expressions.
