Chapter 705: Clock Tower (5000 words, ask for a monthly pass!)

Chapter 705 Clock Tower (5000 words, ask for a monthly pass!)

This is Yilin's first serious cross-server experience.

The first impression of the Tower of War server for Yi Rin was that the population was small.

Before the advent of the four towers, many countries in Europe were known for their low population density and serious ageing distribution.

Europe is a continent made up of many small countries.

The three of them rode their respective mounts and hurried to the northwest.

On the way, Yi Rin passed by a small town, and in a supermarket, he grabbed a few bottles of red wine and filled up the fuel for the Nightmare.

Fortunately, Dire is not picky, and has no requirements for the type of fuel. So much so that Yi Rin even suspected that even adding water to the Dire's fuel tank would do.

en route.

Irin casually asked about the Magician Association, and planned to gather information in advance to prepare for emergencies.

"The destination is London, the headquarters of the Society of Magicians, the Clock Tower, just outside London."

After Million finished speaking, she seemed to have completed the introduction and let out a long sigh of relief.

Irin was puzzled.

This is...the introduction?

On the side, Gu Tianqing smiled and took over the topic: "If I remember correctly, the legendary Magician's Association should be an organization that used to gather occult experts from all over the world to exchange academics with each other."

Gu Tianqing started to speak, and Irin looked at Gu Tianqing calmly.

Gu Tianqing smiled and continued: "The Magicians Association has a long history, even more than 2,000 years, the earliest can be traced back to BC, but those are all legends, and it is difficult to tell whether they are true or false. More recent, I heard that seven hundred The previous 'Witch Hunt' campaign seemed to be an attack on the Magician's Association, but the truth of it has been buried in the written history."

"After that, the Magicians Association gradually disappeared in history, and rarely appeared in the world. But as far as I know, there are unexplained disasters in several countries, which seem to be inextricably linked with the Magicians Association. ."

"It's like the 'Skyfire Attack' in a city in Yingshima a hundred years ago. Huh? President, you look at me like this, but I'll misunderstand."

Irin calmly looked away and said with a chuckle, "I just didn't expect you to know quite a lot."

"Let the president laugh, I just liked to inquire about some strange and interesting things when I was traveling around the world."

Million didn't see the snarky words hidden in the words of Yi Rin and Gu Tianqing, she shivered slightly to show respect, and exclaimed, "Mr. Gu knows a lot."

Disaster?

After listening to Gu Tianqing's words, Yi Rin noticed that Yi Rin used a special word when describing events related to the Magician's Association.

"You mean, the Society of Magicians is not a good thing?"

"Who knows?" Gu Tianqing shrugged with a beating smile and replied, "Oh, who cares?"

It seems that Milian doesn't know much about this organization that specializes in "occultism".

Or, she is not good at words and doesn't know where to start.

In short, this is the end of the story, the three of them no longer talk in detail, and bury their heads on the road.

They stopped in any town, crossed the plain, crossed the river, passed the mountain.

Finally, under the guidance of Milian, the three of them entered the border of the British Empire and arrived at the outskirts of London when night fell.

The suburbs of London are deserted.

Overgrown weeds, a straight asphalt road passed through it, and many vehicles were abandoned on it, completely blocking the traffic arteries.

Along the National Road, there are many private single-family houses. But these residences have fallen into ruin and have long been empty.

In the dark night, the crows that made a shrill cry circled back and forth in the sky.

One after another, rotting and nameless corpses, some died in the car, some died in the wilderness, and some were split on the road.

Scattered corpses with different methods of death. But the only thing in common is that they seem to have been dead for a while, and the carrion on their bodies has been devoured by scavengers such as crows or maggots, leaving only flesh and blood connected.

In the hollow eye sockets of some corpses, clusters of white maggots wriggled back and forth, in and out.

At night, as the three of them went deeper, the smell of corpse, rot, and blood mixed together and filled the air.

Yi Rin silently took out a piece of [Sea Salt Honey Rose Pollen Fried Ham Sausage] from the storage space, crushed the card, the fragrance wafted out, he stuffed the ham sausage into his mouth and gnawed it by himself.

"Gudong."

Irin heard the sound of swallowing hard.

"Gudong—"

again.

And this time, the voice is close to my ear...

louder.

Irin didn't have to look back, he had already guessed that Milian's "food sensor radar" behind him pointed straight at his ham, accurately positioning it.

"President Yi, I am willing to exchange rare items, please let me taste your craftsmanship."

"Here."

Millien happily exchanged a rare card for a ham sausage, turned her back to Yi Rin and Gu Tianqing, and ate it.

Irin noticed that although Milian didn't make any sound or movement when she ate the ham, the dull hair on her forehead instantly straightened when she took the first bite.

Irin wanted more and more to pluck that bunch of dull hair.

That bunch of golden hair seemed to be her baby.

Will you be angry if you pull it out?

Sometimes, once a human thought arises, it is like a parasite that is difficult to remove from the brain.

Finally, Irin looked away with difficulty.

He gave up the tempting idea again.

Inexplicably, the two words written on the mysterious little note he received before departure flashed in Yi Rin's mind - "soak her".

Irin shook her head vigorously, putting this ridiculous thought behind her.

What the hell!

Million had already understood when she was about to start eating, why Irene took out ham sausages to eat in the wilderness where there were carrion corpses at such a time.

Because the [Sea Salt Honey Rose Pollen Fried Ham Sausage] has properties.

And it is a rare dual attribute.

One, it can deodorize; two, it can increase the staying power.

"Unbelievably delicious!"

Kacha Kacha quickly finished eating three or two mouthfuls, Milian felt as if she was a little stronger, she could easily demolish a building, and now she has the illusion that she can easily demolish an unfinished building.

"I'm losing weight."

Gu Tianqing saw that Yi Rin had no intention of giving him snacks, so she smiled and gave herself a step.

"That's right."

Irin finished eating the soul food, wiped her mouth, glanced at Gu Tianqing, and laughed.

After the interlude, the three of them were about to finish their final journey to the legendary Clock Tower.

Irin suddenly asked, "How far is the clock tower?"

Million gracefully took out the silk scarf and wiped her mouth. Satisfied, she was in a good mood. She answered any questions and said, "After another ten kilometers, you will arrive at the outskirts of London."

Gu Tianqing smiled: "No wonder it's starting to get foggy."

"If I guessed correctly," Yi Rin raised a finger and pointed in a certain direction: "Is the clock tower in this direction?"

The proud knight king was startled: "How do you know?"

Irin blinked: "I said it, I guessed it."

Million believed.

The three of them hit the road again.

It’s just ten kilometers away, and it’s just a blink of an eye.

half way.

Gu Tianqing quietly sent a private chat to Yi Rin: "As expected, President, you also found out."

"I don't believe that you got it through divination. Your spiritual attributes have broken through the 'limit'."

"Yeah, I accidentally exposed it." Gu Tianqing smiled, her lips moved slightly, and the sinister smirk never ended.

"Please keep silent, or even if you are extraordinary, I can still beat you."

“…”

I don't know if Irin's threat is in place.

Tani Tianqing really obeyed and shut up.

Even ignore Gu Tianqing's reason for deliberately revealing his extraordinary spiritual attributes.

Irin was even more curious about the place called the Clock Tower and the "magician" Milian said.

The spiritual side apostle, in a certain sense, is very sensitive.

Extraordinary spiritual side, even more so.

Irin faintly noticed that in that direction, there seemed to be a cold prying gaze coming from the depths.

After confirming the location of the clock tower from Milian, Iren was 90% sure that the clock tower had already known that Milian would bring them to the clock tower at this time.

Peeps from ten kilometers away?

How did you do it?

This is far beyond the limits of human eyesight.

Not to mention in this foggy night with reduced visibility.

"It would be boring if it was just an apostle's skill."

Irin's mouth curled into a happy smile.

…

ten minutes later.

The faint reflection of the jet-black motorcycle ripped through the thick fog and cut through the night.

The sound of the exhaust fluctuating high and low, strong and weak, panting and trembling, is like a high and loud song. It seems to be announcing to this strange land that a kind man from the East is coming.

At the end of the road, there is a fork in the shape of a "Y".

Directly in front of the fork in the road is a mountain filled with thick fog.

Beside the fork, a rusty road sign was erected.

The wooden pole used to fix the iron road sign is covered with moss, and I don’t know how many years ago it was a product. Maybe it can barely be regarded as an antique.

"Eternal borderline."

Irin waved his hand and put away the Cybertron gentleman who was about to run out of "fuel" and was gasping for breath alone. He stepped forward curiously, and whispered out the obvious print on the road sign.

Above the font, there is also a pattern that looks like an antique pocket watch.

Apparently the destination is there, no doubt about it.

yo, there seems to be a line of small print here.

Irin reached out and wiped off the dust and rust on the road sign. In an inconspicuous corner, it seemed that someone carefully carved a line of scribbled handwriting with a knife.

—[Inherit the mystery as knowledge forever. 】

"That sentence is said to be the origin of the Magician's Association."

Irin and Milian looked at Gu Tianqing who broke the silence at the same time. Although Milian had no expression on her face, Yilin noticed that the hair on the top of Milian's head reacted. You can guess that Milian, as a native knight king, doesn't seem to know the origin of this proverb - the hair is trembling. Three clicks is the usual reaction of "Stupid Radar" when it is mildly surprised.

By the way, according to Irin's secret observation, as Milian's surprise increased, the number of Duo Mao's tremors increased accordingly. Yi Rin was curious about the strange family heritage that allowed Milian to possess such an enviable special physique.

Gu Tianqing noticed the eyes that Irin and Milian were looking at at the same time.

He smiled slightly, spread out his white gloves, and explained sincerely: "I heard a friend of mine mention it."

Irin was silent.

He discovered that Gu Tianqing had made friends out of nowhere, and the rhetoric of Mrs. Gu Tianqing had come without shame.

Gu Tianqing smiled, he didn't seem to care whether others believed what he said or not. Lying has long been one of his instincts, or skills. He looked away from the faces of the two of them, looked at the mountain shrouded in the night fog directly behind the road sign, and asked in a low voice, "This is the clock tower? But... the clock tower, where is it?"

Irin knew very well that Gu Tianqing was asking knowingly, so he didn't bother to answer him.

On the outskirts of London, ten kilometers away from here, where they paused for a while, if the gaze they felt really came from here, then obviously, when they arrived here, someone in the clock tower would take the initiative to greet them.

Maybe there will be a grand welcome ceremony. A group of girls in costumes lined up neatly and said in unison: "Welcome."

Million didn't know about Gu Tianqing.

She thought Gu Tianqing was really asking. As the host, she shook her head gently and answered actively, "I don't know either."

Irin glanced at the King of Knights curiously and asked, "Have you never been in?"

Million shook her head again, without concealing it, but she said something that Irene couldn't fully understand at the moment: "Magician's Association... No, it should be said that the clock tower, under normal circumstances, rejects 'us' very much."

Milian's voice just fell.

Dense fog in the depths, suddenly torn from the middle.

As if there was a hand, pushing away the thick fog.

The sound of leather shoes treading lightly on the ground came from the depths of the mountains. A tall and thin figure in a black tuxedo walked out slowly.

I saw that the man had fair skin, big eyebrows, a straight nose, and his exotic facial features were cold and indifferent. He had short brown hair just past his ears, soft and straight. At the left eye, the man in the tuxedo wears an eye patch, like a one-eyed dragon.

"The noble descendant of the king of knights, Miriam Artoria X Pendragon, and the two strangers who have come from afar, welcome you to the Clock Tower as guests. I am ordered to come to the 'Eternal Frontier' 'Welcome you. In the next period of time, your itinerary in the clock tower will be arranged by me."

When the person opened his mouth, Yi Rin discovered the above description, which was slightly different from the real situation. It should be "she" not "he". She is a woman.

The butler in the tuxedo lightly closed his eyes, put his right hand on his chest, saluted the three of them with standard noble etiquette, and introduced himself in a calm tone that seemed to be standard in the service industry: "You can call me - Cerberus. . Please come with me, the entrance to the Clock Tower is here."

The tuxedo butler who called himself Cerberus finished speaking softly, the thick fog seemed to come alive, and took the initiative to split a path in front of them.

Irin's pupils shrank slightly.

That mountain, at some point, was suddenly leveled. A path winds its way through the middle of the mountain wall, which appears to be a basin. What originally looked like a "mountain peak" turned into an ancient bell tower for no reason.

Inside appears to be a huge basin structure. There are many tall buildings, but for some reason, it looked like a mountain from the outside just now, and the scenery changed in a blink of an eye.

"This is magic?"

Irin thought to himself, and remained silent for a moment. Miriam followed behind Cerberus without hesitation, without the slightest hesitation. It seems that for her so-called "Glory of the King", even if there is a cesspool in front of a mountain of swords, a sea of flames, a trap, she can easily cross it without frowning.

"It really deserves to be the second in the world."

Irin silently praised and sighed softly. He suppressed a few doubts circling in his mind and followed.

Anyway, there is Milian in front of him, what is he afraid of?

"Cerberus." Gu Tianqing followed behind Yi Rin and whispered, "In ancient Greek mythology, the name of the three-headed dog from hell."

Irin said: "There's no need to show your erudition at this time, it's a well-known thing."

"Hehe, too."

Gu Tianqing suddenly stopped talking.

The winding path stretched forward, with Cerberus leading the way, and before they knew it, the thick fog around them dissipated. The three walked through the stone steps, seamlessly connected, and the next foot stepped on the thick wooden floor, making a "crunch, crunch, crunch" footsteps.

Irin just blinked, and the surrounding scene changed. From the wilderness, came to a deep corridor.

On both sides of the promenade, elegant dark solid wood tables are placed with elegant decorations such as flowers and vases. The beautiful golden embossed pattern, as a decorative pattern, is embellished on the handrails on both sides of the promenade.

Paintings of unknown ages hang on the walls on both sides. The figures on them are lifelike and graceful.

"King Artoria X, President Yi from the East, and Mr. Gu, who has a deep relationship with the Gypsies, my master already knows your intentions. The master has prepared clean and suitable clothes for you, and I implore you to take a bath. Change your clothes and wash away the dust. In twenty minutes, I will take you to the VIP room to meet the master."

After Cerberas finished speaking, he tapped three times on the wall on the side of the promenade.

A door appeared.

Cerberus opened the door gracefully, stood by the door, and gestured for the three to enter.

"grateful."

Million was unafraid, her hair was stunned, and she entered brazenly.

The door is closed.

Cerberus was next to him again and opened the second door.

Tani Tianqing and Irin looked at each other.

Gu Tianqing chuckled: "President, then I'll go first, I've long wanted to take a good shower. See you later."

Finally, it's Irin's turn.

Cerberus knocked on a door from the opposite wall and invited Irin to enter.

Irin smiled and walked in.
