Eighth Crown

Maybe it was because of the night, or maybe it was because they were in class. In short, there were only two or three big cats and kittens in the lobby, and all of them were young people in their teens.

The appearance of the youth Liu Xia used was also about eighteen years old, and it was not out of place in this group of people.

Several young people in the lobby cast a somewhat surprised look at Liu Xia. They were not looking at monsters. They couldn't see Liu Xia's real body from the same vision as the apprentice. They probably just didn't see it before. It must be unfamiliar to Lucia.

Liu Xia looked at the doors of several classrooms, and there were indeed many people here to listen to the class.

The lecture system of the Clock Tower is very loose and casual, you can come as long as you want, but how much you can learn is up to you.

Unless your talent is really high, the lecturer values ​​you very much and plans to accept you as an assistant, then it is possible to impress you and treat you with a different attitude from other students who make up the numbers.

In view of this, in fact, the magician who appeared in this [Modern Magic Department] teaching building is not necessarily a student of [Modern Magic Department], and it is entirely possible that they are students from other disciplines.

Liu Xia ignored the gazes of several students around, and went straight up the spiral staircase, heading towards the depths of the teaching building.

Before reaching the destination, Liu Xia heard a soft and restrained singing.

"Dong Dong Dong!"

Liu Xia walked to a door, reached out and knocked on the door.

"Yes... please wait a moment!"

The singing stopped, and a somewhat familiar girl's voice came from inside.

Then, the door was opened with a slight sound, revealing the view inside.

"what……"

The one who came to open the door for Liu Xia was a hooded girl named Grey. Even when she was indoors, she still wore a hood to cover her face, and only a pair of emerald eyes were shining.

When she saw Liu Xia, she immediately let out a small exclamation, and her whole person became cautious.

"Hello...that..."

The girl wanted to say hello to Liu Xia, but as soon as she said the words, she suddenly got stuck, and a look of Ai and thinking appeared on her face.

"Two instruments."

Liu Xia saw the reason for her hesitation, and took the initiative to answer, "My surname is Liangyi, and my name is Liangyi Liuxia."

He has made up his mind to use the pseudonym [Liangyi Liuxia] in this world of magicians, so that it is impossible for any magician to use his name to divination or curse him. kind.

Perhaps a highly accomplished magician could use his pseudonym to divination or curse him, but in this way, both the accuracy of divination and the power of the curse would be extremely low and would not cause any hindrance to him.

Liu Xia is here to learn magic, he doesn't plan to kill, at least not during the period of learning magic.

"Hello, Mr. Liangyi."

Grey is a bit tongue-in-cheek when she says this surname. She is a native Englishman and has a Welsh accent when she speaks.

"Is King El-Melloi II here?" Lucia asked her.

"Yes, Master is in the inner room."

Grey pointed to the inside of the room and explained to Lucia.

This room is the office of the monarch El-Melloi II in the [Modern Magic Division] teaching building. It is divided into two rooms: an inner and outer room.

At first glance, Liu Xia saw the shoe cabinet placed at the entrance of the outer chamber. Generally, the British inner chamber does not need to take off shoes to enter. It seems that El-Melloi II is a more particular person.

There is also a small round stool at the entrance of the room. Next to the stool are jars of detergent and shoe polish for decontamination, as well as three pairs of black leather shoes that have been polished and polished. It seems that someone was there just now. Here are general maintenance for them.

"That...that...this is just my personal hobby..."

Seemingly noticing Liu Xia's gaze, Grey wanted to explain a little embarrassedly, but as soon as she finished speaking, she slammed her head down, her cheeks flushed, and she became restless.

Lucia glanced at her.

The term 'hobby' is indeed a bit strange. Most people should not regard shoe-shine as a hobby. It seems that Grey feels ashamed because of this. If he just said 'work' directly, it would be more serious.

This girl should be very afraid of life. She is the type who likes to be alone in her own world and is not good at communicating with people.

"It doesn't matter, everyone has their own hobbies."

With a slightly polite attitude, Liu Xia reassured her and relaxed Grey's slightly cramped state of mind.

"That... Master is here, please come in."

As Grey said that, she put the round stool and shoes at the entrance neatly aside, sorted out the entrance, and led Liu Xia to the door of the inner room, and then knocked on the door with a "dong dong dong".

"Master, here comes the servant of Miss Edfield's house."

"……Come in."

From inside, El-Melloi II sounded as if he was busy fighting with something.

"Please come in."

After Grey opened the door, Lucia walked in.

The inner room of the room was larger than Liu Xia imagined. The most eye-catching bookshelves were undoubtedly the bookshelves next to each other. The collection of books was classified by category and size, and there were at least nearly 2,000 books.

A sterling-silver pen and a guillotine-shaped cigar cutter once used in Peel City lay on the table, a retro record player beside the table, and a polished antique chair on one side of the room.

From the looks and layout alone, this is undoubtedly the office of a successful man.

However, at this moment, the owner of this office, the monarch El-Melloi II, is sitting on an antique chair, holding a very trendy handheld in his hand, and is playing a Japanese-style fighting game with the handheld. People feel a little bit different.

"Sorry, wait until I finish this game."

II Shi was obviously busy fighting against the characters in the game, and after he had time to give Liu Xia such an exhortation, he was immersed in the world of the game again.

It was not until two minutes later, with a loud 'YouLose' referee's voice, that the second person put down the handheld in his hand with a displeased expression, his face was full of sour teeth.

"Okay, let's get down to business."

He put the handheld on the table, rubbed his eyebrows, and turned his eyes to Liu Xia, who was on the side. After his teeth were sore, he faintly felt that his stomach began to hurt.

"Your eldest lady asked me to protect you as much as possible while you were studying magic in the Clock Tower, but, to be honest, my management scope is only within the [Modern Magic Division]."

Although he felt a stomachache, since it was promised, he couldn't regret it.

"You can join my [Modern Magic Division] first, but I won't interfere with what kind of magic you learn. The mechanism of the clock tower is also very easy. You can go to the academic building of the corresponding discipline to learn any magic you want."
