To be king and magician

[OK, see you later]

After hanging up the phone, Lidal turned around and looked at the person sitting in her office: "I'm sorry, I was a little delayed, it's a very important call—then, is there anything else you want to say? Your Excellency, Marshal of Demon Dao?"

"..."

Barthamelo Lorelei looked at the smiling Lidal, took a deep breath and said, "Can I take what you said just now as a provocation and contempt for the clock tower as a whole? Monarch A Chelot."

"Anyway, anyway, it's easy for the legal affairs department to accuse me of a crime, isn't it?" Lidale laughed, "It's just that I think my charges will be released on the second day after the news of the clock tower. Will it be removed from the thirteen subjects? Right, Xiao Mo?"

"It doesn't take a day, an hour is enough."

Mordred, who was sitting directly opposite Bathermelo, said while holding the king sword.

Because Lidelle is considered the weakest of all people, so in order to take care of her, Arturia and Mordred have been serving as her guards for these years, although Artoria returned to Japan some time ago Went to visit relatives, but Mordred was still there.

"A fox pretends to be a tiger. It's really unsightly for a monarch to rely on the strength of others."

"Then you're going to find a [Tiger] too?" Lidal said with a smug face.

Barthumello raised his eyebrows: "Do you think that man still likes you now? An old woman who is almost 50 years old?"

"In appearance, I am still the same, and according to what you said, all of us here are 40-[-]-year-old aunts--can I regard your words as a provocation to our [Xiachuan Group]? "

Xia Chuan Group—that was the name given to them by the Clock Tower because of the rise of Chaldea and the activity of Aoko Aozaki and others a few years ago, because all of them carried out activities with Xia Chuan Tiger as the core , so it was finally named as such.

Now it has become the most unneglectable force in the clock tower, and some people even rumor that its power is strong enough to change the existing world structure, and completely overthrow and restructure the Magic Association that has been maintained for thousands of years.

"However, we actually don't care about your struggles. After all, my family is not a troublemaker. It's good for everyone to live together in a friendly manner. Didn't the former marshal often use my family? "

Lidel changed her tone.

"So, you don't have to come to me every now and then to find yourself uncomfortable. After more than ten years, his child and I will grow up, and I will naturally retire. You can just toss my child at that time. "

"Ten years later...are you going to retire in your 60s?"

"Isn't it? The clock tower should not have a retirement age, right? Archibald's previous head retired to the second line at the age of 40."

Kenneth El-Melloi Archibald.

This well-known child prodigy of the clock tower is now in a semi-retired state, and all affairs are handed over to the current monarch of the ore department, Lienice Elmero Archibald, while he concentrates on In studying magic and educating children.

"Well, if you still want to pester me like this, I can only go and talk to my little coquette and ask him to come to the clock tower to talk to you one by one. It just so happens that he will come back this year."

"Being like a baby...you nearly 50-year-old old woman really has the face to say it?" Barthamello looked disgusted, "Don't you feel disgusted yourself?"

"But I'm forever now, and my mentality is very good to maintain a young age. People who see me will at most regard me as a young girl in her early 20s, right?"

"The Brazen Witch."

"To each other, the iron bumps that no one wants for a lifetime, the Barthumello family will probably be the last in your generation, right? Or are you planning to find a random man to complete the task in the future?"

Barthamelo twitched his eyebrows immediately: "You—"

"Okay, calm down, magician." Mordred slapped Wang Jian on the table at the right time, "I want to fight with my wife, but the atrium outside is quite empty, how about going there to fight?"

"Forget it, let's stop here today, I'll take my leave first."

After taking a deep breath, Barthamello stood up.

"I'll just believe your words for the time being, Lord Archelot, but don't think that you can do whatever you want by relying on [Tiger]. The Clock Tower will not be intimidated by a mere group. One day I will Get all of you under control - including that man."

"boom!"

Looking at the door that was slammed shut, and recalling what Bathmelo said just now, Lidal couldn't help smiling and looking at Mordred: "What do you think? Little Mo, I think this can be included in the list." There are a lot of jokes."

"Indeed. But it's best not to let her meet her father."

"why?"

"Intuition." Mordred said, "I've seen it on the Internet before, this kind of unconvinced plot at the beginning often develops into a couple later——that woman and we become a different family." Do you find it troublesome?"

"Well, that makes sense."

10. Reconfirmed Identity

In this way, after being notified by the two ceremonies and conveyed by Mei Li, all the people related to Xia Chuanhu gradually cleaned up all the work at hand within this week.

For all of them, it has been several years since everyone was together in a real sense, and some people have not seen each other since the end of the anthropogenic burn, so, except for what Meili mentioned In addition to other things, the idea of ​​wanting to meet other people also occupies a lot of weight in everyone's heart.

Under such circumstances, a week is quickly lost from everyone.

Then, the time came to the agreed Tuesday.

.......

Inside Liangyi's home.

Compared with usually not many people around, and the internal environment can be said to be very deserted, today's Liangyi's house is quite abnormally lively.

If there is a reason, it must be because too many guests came at once today.

Mellie, Grey, Satiao Lingyi, Olga Marie of Chaldea.

Morgan and others from Guanbuzi City, Atalanta, Soji Okita, Tatsuka Fujimaru and Mash.

Lydal, Sajo Ayaka, and Mordred rushed over from the clock tower.

Aoko Aozaki, Touko Aozaki, Shier, and Alquite who just arrived.

as well as--

"Wow! A lot of people! Is everyone here?!"

Led by Angelica, Miyamoto Musashi and Ba Yuqian also came to Liangyi's house.

Because of Bayuzen's reason, Chaldea and Miyamoto Musashi can actually be contacted. This time, Mei Li also notified the two of them. Wait until Miyamoto Musashi and Bayuzen are in other worlds with the fastest speed. After finishing the treatment, he secretly used the spiritual transfer to bring the two of them back.

It's just that because of the time difference, the two are the last to arrive now.

More than 20 people who were originally scattered all over the world, or even in different worlds, are now all gathered together.

"I didn't expect that they could all come back."

Holding a glass of wine and looking at the people around, Aozaki Aoko couldn't help laughing.

"This shows that everyone misses each other very much, and they are also very curious about what Shishi will say today, aren't they?" Mei Li, who was sitting next to her, smiled, "After all, it was the first time Shiki contacted us, the importance It goes without saying, doesn't it?"

"indeed."

Er Ritual is someone who doesn't have much contact with the world of magic. In her own words, she has no interest at all, so she rarely communicates with people, and only people in Japan will have contact with her.

This time I will take the initiative to contact Meili, which means that what I want to say next is related to everyone.

"Could it be a tiger?"

"Who knows? But I think even if it's not, it should be about the same. You'll know when you see it." Mei Li said, "Compared to this... Angelica, what about her? Why haven't you arrived yet?"

Everyone has arrived, but at this moment, only Liang Ri, the person who initiated the call, has completely disappeared.

"Could it be that my stomach hurts and I ran to squat in the pit?"

"It's not impossible."

"It doesn't mean you haven't woken up yet?"

......

Hearing what everyone was talking about, Angelica was about to say something—

"Shh-!"

The sliding door that had just been closed for a short time was reopened, and Ryoichi, who was wearing a kimono, walked in from outside. After glancing at everyone, he suddenly took out a short knife from his wide sleeve and threw it at Mellie.

"Wow!"

Hastily turned her head to avoid the sudden attack, looking at the dagger that was still shaking slightly after being inserted into the wall, Mei Li wiped off the cold sweat that didn't exist: "It's really the same old style, Shi, this kind of knife that is thrown when you see someone Has the habit of knives been changed for more than 20 years? Besides, I’m not a tiger, so it’s useless if you throw me.”

"I don't have a stomachache, and I haven't overslept, it's just a bit of a delay."

The two said with a faint smile. At the same time, they pulled out the short knife stuck in the wall with a pull of their hands, causing him to fly back into the scabbard hidden in his sleeve, and then sat down on Angelica's side for her Get ready for the first seat.

"Is everyone here?"

"Yes, Shiki-sama, everyone is here." Angelica responded, and immediately knelt down to the last seat.

In order to entertain everyone who is coming today, a long table that can accommodate everyone has been set up in the living room. Except for the two ceremonies, the others sat on both sides separately.

As Angelica said, indeed everyone has arrived.

"Then, let's talk about the two ceremonies now." Morgan asked, "Merry said you wanted all of us to gather. Did something happen?"

"There is indeed something happening here...in fact, it has something to do with you."

The two said: "Do you still remember the vampire I commissioned you to catch a week ago? It came from Italy."

"You revoked that entrustment last Thursday, didn't you?"

Regarding the capture of the blond vampire girl, Xia Chuanyue's commission, after learning about Xia Chuanyue's situation, the two ceremonies told Morgan that they did not need to continue their investigation.

"Actually, she was caught by me a week ago, and she has been living with me this week." Two Rites said, "Her identity is a bit special, especially for us, and she still has a lot of secrets. Because She said she wouldn't tell us until we were all here, so I'll let you all come to me this time."

The blonde vampire?

Morgan and the others frowned slightly, while Aozaki Aoko and the others, who had already guessed before, looked at each other and did not speak tacitly.

The two ceremonies looked outside the door and clapped their hands: "Come in, everyone is here."

"Yes~~~"

A light voice sounded from outside the door, and then everyone in the room saw the figure walking in from outside, and after seeing her appearance clearly, they all subconsciously looked at Alquite .

Fujimaru Tachika and others who had been in contact with her before also showed thoughtful expressions.

Originally, it was just a conjecture, but now, after seeing Alquette and her in the same space, the conjecture that was ruled out by Fujimaru Tachika and the others jumped out again, and this time it was even more convincing .

Then—

"Although there are already people present who have met me before, let's treat this as the first meeting."

Xia Chuanyue adjusted her tone, bowed and bowed to everyone very politely.

"My name is Xia Chuanyue, and I am the daughter of Xia Chuanhu and Erquit Brunstadt, a future person from 30 years later."

"It's the first time we meet, please give me some advice, aunts."

Female, daughter? !
