People are in Type-Moon, but they practice science

As for the modern magic department, it was originally a last-tier subject that no monarch had taken over. It was able to continue thanks to the funding from Uncle Long Legs Noligi. But everything changed three years ago. It became the first subject independently funded and operated by the Qin family. While getting rid of the financial difficulties, it could enjoy a large amount of technical subsidies from the East Union Association, which greatly increased its appeal to people who were not from magic families.

For example, the free use of privileged functions such as the Void System Lepton Laboratory is equivalent to platform operators such as China Mobile and Telecom not charging any money; another example is the trial of the latest technologies such as "Virtual Number Express", and in the "international student" program, students can be assigned more technically demanding and more important positions than students from other disciplines.

In short, from basic operations, student needs, teaching conditions to future employment prospects, the subject of modern magic is in a semi-independent state in the Clock Tower.

For modern magic departments, the only things that may be inseparable from the Clock Tower are the necessary procedures such as the assessment of students' magic ranks and their graduation ceremonies.

Of course, Mujik would never agree to throw his own people from the Clock Tower into the Modern Magic Department, which was gradually showing signs of rebellion. Since his long-term goal had not been achieved, he began to try to come up with some short-term indicators that might be passed for his own goal:

"Well, in fact, after our research, we found that international students are generally assigned heavy tasks, which reduces their time for self-study and improvement. I think we can shorten the project internship period and allow students to return earlier (Clock Tower)..."

"No," Hanano Hishiri said something that made Mujik even more uncomfortable, "According to the Association's Foreign Cooperation Project Management Regulations, your personnel cannot be repatriated without authorization before the end of the internship period. Moreover, we have been busy with some engineering matters recently, and the project regulations need to be adjusted accordingly--"

"In other words?" Mujik suddenly had a bad feeling.

"Yes, after research, we have decided that the internship period needs to be extended."

"Ah? No--" The negotiation failed, and instead he heard bad news. Mujik felt like his heart was going to explode.

"In fact, since you are here with sincerity, there is room for us to turn around," Kanono Hishiri smiled, like a venomous snake in a Japanese kimono, "--As long as you send more people, we can consider maintaining the status quo and temporarily continue the current internship period."

That's too much, old classmate. Mujik gritted his teeth and felt sweat on his head. In the past, Clock Tower always regarded itself as the boss of the Magic Association, so it would never have such an attitude. If Clock Tower was not in a weak position now, it would never be possible for the other party to make such a high offer.

Mujik didn't dare to accept the offer in the end. After practicing some meaningless Tai Chi, he quickly turned the topic to the real point, "May I ask, Miss Huaye, what do you think of the Golden Society that has recently launched a large-scale action?"

"Oh? Are you talking about 'Dawn'? What can I, a mere Legal Affairs Bureau employee, think? According to the association's current treaty, we have a non-interference relationship with the association during the construction of the void system, and no other relationship."

Hua Ye Hishiri seemed to be reading the script without any focus. When Mujik's attitude became a little anxious, she seemed to have just reacted and said:

"So Representative Mujik wanted to discuss the Society's actions in Alexandria?"

"Yes, the rumors about the ancient Ptolemy ruins are widely spread. According to the current news, the main members of 'Dusk Exit', the members of 'Dawn Morning Light', and even the so-called 'leader' will go there in person. This is definitely the best opportunity. I believe you will also realize it..."

In fact, this situation was a big net set up by the Clock Tower with conspiracy and trickery to catch the Golden Forces. Compared with letting the association grow, eliminating the threat is also a good thing for the association. The Clock Tower believes that the East Union Association will not refuse. This time, they feel that they are standing on the second level.

But what the Clock Tower didn't know was that, unlike the Dusk exit which was like a headless fly, the Dawn leader, Bai Dewei (Luvia), had mastered the real entrance to the ruins based on ancestral information, which meant that Alexander's "treasure" was real, and this time it was the third floor.

What's more, Dawn has been directly controlled by the association from beginning to end. In other words, the association seems to be at the first level, but in fact it is the highest level.

"——It's indeed a good opportunity. It seems that there is one more area where you and I can cooperate." Hua Ye Lingli adjusted his glasses to hide his hidden eyes.

Chapter 181 Summoning Bombing

Sakura waited for the mujik to leave before entering the Unnatural Events Department.

"Ms. Huaye, what did you just talk about with the Clock Tower representative...?"

"Ah, it's Miss Sakura," Hanano Hisiri knew that this was a subordinate trusted by the president, and was also the sister of the president's fiancée. She was one of the most orthodox "confidants" of the president in the association.

Although the conversation just now was blocked by the room, Hanano Hishiri estimated that it was heard by Sakura, who was the president's confidant. The authority under the president was enough to directly drive various facilities here and retrieve what happened in the room through system authority without conventional barriers.

Kanono Hishiri said gently, "The guy just now was actually my classmate. But now he is on the side of the Clock Tower. He deliberately talked to me in this place (the Unnatural Events Department) just to test the mysterious monitoring room next to it that is forbidden to outsiders."

"Huh?" Sakura clearly heard them talking about completely unrelated things?

[Puff, little fool]

The BB in my mind seemed to find Sakura's naivety amusing.

"Hehehe, Miss Sakura, this is exactly why it's a test. The association was established too recently, and that kind of atmosphere hasn't formed yet. But the Clock Tower is an environment that is accustomed to deceit. Use false purposes and false timing to hide the real purpose."

"But it's not really fake. Negotiations have to be serious, so he used the 'internship period' as an excuse. I just followed his lead and scared him with my bluff."

There is no doubt that Hanano Hishiri's words indicate that the association's decision to extend the period mentioned just now is completely false.

"Then he brought up the topic of Operation Alexandria. This is true, and the Clock Tower is really willing to cooperate with the Association, so it is natural to meet with the Supernatural Events Department for cooperation. He probably wanted to use the staff here to test the next door and see if our "surveillance" has reached the Egyptian area and to what extent. Unfortunately, the moment he met the person he was talking to, he realized that he was facing me, an employee of the Legal Affairs Bureau."

"Oh oh..." After listening to a long list of interpretations, Ying had to laugh dryly and pretend that she understood.

"Anyway, thank you all for your understanding and for allowing me to temporarily occupy the room of the Unnatural Events Department. Now, my work has come to an end... and Miss Sakura seems to have other things to do, so I won't bother you for now."

Even though Sakura's comprehension just now was far from satisfactory, Kanono Hishiri did not make any response to Sakura's performance, but just got up and left the room.

[Look, look, this kind of woman is really cunning! Alas, it seems difficult for such a human to produce an 'interesting' (painful) expression. ]

[Also, don’t be like this in the future, little idiot, or your good brother will hate you, hehehe.]

----------

Alexandria, a port on one side of Egypt's first seaport city, once consisted only of the island of Pharos, connected to the mainland by a mile-long embankment, but now buildings have gradually piled up here.

In the past, when entering the port, people could have seen a large theater that was used as a fortress by Caesar, a temple of Poseidon, the Temple of Caesar, the obelisk known as Cleopatra's Needle, the tombs of Alexander and the Ptolemaic dynasty, the Temple of Apis, and many more.

With so many ruins, it is conceivable that countless thieves, including magicians who are lurking among them, will flock to them, and in the end, the only things that will be left are probably things of no value.

In the eastern part of Pharos Island, there was once a lighthouse of Alexandria, which was built by Ptolemy I and completed by Ptolemy II. However, it was destroyed by an earthquake in the fourteenth century and was later rebuilt by the Sultan ruler into Qatba Castle, a building that looked like a military fortress.

But now it has become a naval museum.

On this day that looked no different from any other day, under the lighthouse of Pharos Island, behind the shadow of the Castle Fortress of Catba, the sea seemed to be dotted with shadows, with a group of people busy moving various goods underwater.

The blonde girl, Bai Dewei, looked at the place from afar. "Hey. This is incredible. It seems that the Dusk Export has spent a lot of money this time - and even used a military submarine? Well, it is reasonable for those magicians to have that channel. However, did they really guess that Ptolemy's treasure was at the bottom of the sea?"

Next to her was her loyal assistant, Mark, who remained silent.

"Ah, no, their position in this world is not high enough, so they can't access the correct information. Maybe the legend of 'ancient ruins on the seabed' is so popular that the real entrance has become conspicuous?"

Bai Dewei slowly moved towards the fortress. "Since you guys at the dusk exit have hit the jackpot by accident, I can let you go forward to dig up what I planned. Oh, and thank you for dispersing the crowd in advance. Now there are no other targets here except for you scum."

As she walked, she stretched out her hand towards the void, and Mark next to her immediately handed her the "scepter", a gift with certain "Golden Dawn" base operating capabilities.

Then, Bai Dewei held the staff with one hand, staring at the front end of the staff as if he was taking rough aim. There was no chanting or movement of the spell, and just like that, the explosion occurred:

Suddenly, a dazzling white light exploded among the people at dusk.

This incident caught them off guard and they were not prepared for anything. Perhaps even if they had taken precautions in advance, it would not have been very effective because there was not just one explosion, but countless explosions one after another.

Those who reacted quickly tried to escape or find shelter, but soon, Bai Dewei blew them up along with any obstacles around them.

As for the remaining magicians, who seemed somewhat bewildered because they had lost most of their companions in an instant, some dropped their weapons, while others stood still, but they were also bombarded mercilessly by Bertwei, without exception.

Just like that, violent noises, dazzling bombardments, and gradually dispersing dust rose at the eastern end of Pharos Island. The Clock Tower probably couldn't imagine that in just a moment, Bai Dewei alone destroyed the Dusk Exit, rumbling and smashing countless human bodies, buildings, coasts, and the military submarines that the Dusk Exit had worked so hard to purchase.

Chapter 182 Lover, and Sister, I Want Them All

Different bases mean different ways of performing magic. Based on Norse mythology, most of the magic performed is quick to set up and perform, suitable for single-player duels. For example, in the original work, Rin can use the Norse curse called "Gandr" to shoot a force comparable to that of a Gatling gun, and Aozaki Touko can use a large number of runes at once, which is enough to deal with the magician of the Age of Gods.

As a major golden society, Dawn of the Morning is good at decisive battles with "ultimate moves" dominated by a large number of ceremonial costumes and large-scale magic rituals.

Generally speaking, in order to pursue greater power and perform more powerful "large-scale magic", golden rituals usually need to abide by certain rules to build temples. These foundations are often symbolic weapons, tarot cards and other ceremonials.

But Bai Dewei herself was different. She had the Rose Cross subordinate authority granted by Qin Xuan, which not only saved the time of building the temple, but also increased the speed of launching the spell. Basically, she only relied on improvisation and the shortest steps to quickly perform the spell, which was similar to the effect of the Dawn Group. Undoubtedly, this was where the Clock Tower made a mistake in judgment.

Bai Dewei looked at the smoke-filled coast in the distance. The second largest golden society in the world had suffered a heavy blow. Although this amount of manpower was far from a total annihilation for them, it was enough to make Mu fall into the abyss.

For this relic said to be inherited from the Age of Gods, the Dusk Exit has already mobilized a large amount of materials, direct manpower, and sophisticated equipment, including a small number of military submarines. After what Bai Dewei did, the loss of property and talent cannot be recovered. As a loose organization composed of magicians of many factions, the Dusk Exit will soon blame each other for the huge losses, and internal conflicts will intensify, and even fall apart.

The power to turn everything into ashes with a simple wave of the hand was brought to her by Qin Xuan. Three years ago, when she was granted this identity and gifted this dress, she had not yet realized the power of this power. Only when she experienced it in person again and again could she sigh: This scale of power is really cheating.

Bai Dewei therefore felt more and more deeply that she was deeply bound to the person who gave her power, because if it could be given, it could also be taken back. The price of taking it back was that she and her family would suffer backlash and be doomed.

So now she can obey and be loyal to Qin Xuan, or she can humble herself and pursue Qin Xuan. This is for the sake of her future life as a magician, for the sake of the development of the Edfelt family, and to live up to her title and ideal as the "most superior hunter."

Or perhaps, we can shamelessly claim that it is for the greater good?

"Miss," because Bai Dewei was in a daze for too long this time, the assistant Mark, also known as the butler August, had to remind her, "It's almost time, those 'men', should--"

"I understand," Bai Dewei came to her senses. In order to conclude the Wave Plan and return as Luvia, after Dusk left, the Dawn that she had led for three years should also leave. The price is the sacrifice of her subordinates.

"Now arrange for them to take action and meet with those people from the East Union Association."

Bai Dewei said this, but her calm tone seemed to confirm that her subordinates were going to die. And they were sent to die on purpose. It seemed that under the huge gears of fate, the deaths of these people were worthy deaths.

"understood."

Mark, who had always been faithful and unwavering, was gone.

"Huh." Bai Dewei breathed a sigh of relief. She remembered that the butler August refused to input personality data into the 'fake intelligence' in order to maintain his loyalty and service ability. And she, in order to distinguish herself from the original Luvia personality, formed a completely different Bai Dewei.

A more arrogant personality than Luvia, her arrogance is reflected in the fact that she can destroy ten regions for a purpose, and can disregard the lives of her subordinates for a huge plan. In short, she tramples on the restraint of using means for the sake of the purpose. Therefore, in order to achieve the purpose of pursuing Qin Xuan, she can also cater to his preferences, even if it is some excessive demands, she can force herself to accept it, but... Qin Xuan did not mention it on his own initiative.

That's the problem.

The most that Bai Dewei has done in recent years is to do online comfort such as "telephone sex" during secret communications with Qin Xuan, which is far from the level of real intimacy with Tohsaka Rin. But when it comes to going further, Qin Xuan doesn't actively "invite" her, what can she do?

No, who could Bai Dewei fool like this? She might have had some small thoughts, and tried all kinds of roundabout ways to seduce Qin Xuan, but in the end she had long understood that this alone would not succeed, and she was just using this regular communication as an excuse to calm her restless mood.

——An opportunity is still needed.

Bai Dewei said to himself. A perfect opportunity, the time, place, and scene are all in line with the atmosphere of "unity for love" for two people. This is the way to give up your body, use "yourself" as bait, and hunt for bigger fruits.

Only at this moment, the thoughts of Bertwei's personality coincided with those of Luvia's personality.

It is at this moment that thoughts, thoughts, and emotions, like tiny lightning bolts thundering in the mind, strike into the depths of the personality.

"Ahh, here it comes again, the phenomenon of overlapping thoughts."

Sometimes, when the thoughts of the Bertwei personality and the Luvia personality overlap, the memories of both sides tend to flow and mix.

Or is it that she as Bertholdt and she as Luvia are too similar in some ways?

By the way, the fake intelligence shows that Perdwell has a younger sister, and Perdwell is willing to sacrifice his life to protect his sister. This reminds Luvia's personality of Sakura from time to time. Since Sakura was sent here to practice magic with Luvia, she has been like a younger sister who has grown up with her since she was a child. Although she was sent back to the hands of that hateful enemy (Tosaka Rin) halfway through, she is still a younger sister that both Luvia and Perdwell value.

Bai Dewei nodded to himself. So, it seems that there is one more reason to compete with Lin?

Chapter 183: All Things Take Care of the Fifth of the Five Elements——

The sea breeze brings a moist scent.

Coastal cities are different from inland cities. Compared with the high-rise buildings full of industrial atmosphere in the inland, what grabs the attention of travelers here is the long coastline, of course, the blue sea and endless waves.

At this time, Qin Xuan had already stepped into the city of Alexandria, followed by Gray and Bazette, fighters from the "Unnatural Events Department".

In the distance, there was a dazzling light explosion and a rumbling sound that gradually spread out. The explosion cloud that rose into the sky at a high speed was particularly conspicuous at the eastern end of Pharos Island.

From afar, even the submarine temporarily staying on the water surface was affected. Violent explosions broke out simultaneously and densely from the outside and inside, forming a huge water column that soared into the sky, disturbing the surrounding undulating waves into chaos.

The action has already begun. Qin Xuan realized that Dawn's action against Mu's exit had already begun, and it would be their chance to take action in a moment.

"Where are the people from the Clock Tower?"

"No, within the observable range," Bazett next to him responded. "When we met them in advance, they said they would be here soon."

"Oh, I see. Are you planning to sit on the mountain and watch the fight between the two and reap the benefits later? Oh, I guess you will find some opportunities to secretly observe both of us?..."

Qin Xuan looked around and saw the lonely military museum, which was once a fortress and a lighthouse. Apart from that, there was no trace of human beings. Ordinary people were completely driven away by the first group of people who arrived, using both legal and magical means.

"Forget it. The Clock Tower is not a big deal now. Let them watch the show as they please, but we can't let them have their way with their plans to explore the Ptolemy Ruins. Bazette, go meet the Dawn. You don't have to kill them all. You can come back once you've suppressed them enough. Gray, stay and keep an eye on those who may come to the Clock Tower later."

It would be a sheer indiscriminate killing to let Bazette deal with the group of Dawn members trained by magicians. The Dawn was completely from the Qin family, and Bazette knew the characteristics and disadvantages of this kind of golden magic very well. Besides, Bazette had not spent the past three years in vain.

"Yes."

Bazette immediately took the order and left.

"Master——?" Gray seemed to not understand. She had followed them out, so why was she assigned a task with little actual workload?

"You think you are more powerful than Bazett, right? Why not send you? Is that what you mean?" Qin Xuan understood Grey's enthusiasm for going on missions. "Grey, let me ask you a question. Facing a person, no, a group of people who are sincere and loyal to their work and have never been hostile to us, can you kill them? I mean, kill them?"

"Well……"

Gray's delicate white skin shone with a gentle and beautiful temperament under the skylight. In the past three years, her growth direction has further developed towards the primitive dragon, so her face and figure are free from the constraints of "King Arthur", so the image she shows is completely different from the past. Her delicate face without the hood is facing Qin Xuan, and her tall and graceful figure has surpassed Qin Xuan, who has stopped growing, in height, and the clothes on her chest can't hinder the outline of her round and plump breasts, as if ready to come out.

But a look of indecision appeared between his brows in the sea breeze.

"Okay, I'm actually talking about the subordinates of Dawn. Although their records as magicians are not that impressive, they have been indirectly contributing to the association over the past three years. Our actions are undoubtedly to cut off the paths of most of them, and this is only to complete part of the plan..."

"Gray, you should be able to realize that in the future, for the sake of 'greater plans', whether it is to change the world pattern or to sweep away the old world, no matter how outsiders and future generations evaluate it, it is all an excuse for us. For the sake of our 'correctness', we will defeat countless 'incorrectness' and erase the 'correctness' that does not conform to us. This situation is not just this time, but may happen countless times in the future."

"Do you understand now? As a pure warrior, Bazett will not be confused, but you can't help but think a lot."

"Master, I...if it's Master, I'm willing to--" Gray placed her hands in front of her chest and clasped them. The plump breasts on her arms formed a soft arc.

"Wait, I felt it a long time ago that your behavior had become like blindly chasing after someone's back. Is this the source of your motivation all along?"
