I'm really not a top magician

He is also the largest sponsor of the El-Melloi School.

All the families present must give her face.

Luna ignored the glances and walked straight across the hall, sitting down in the first chair on Kenneth's left.

Only after Luna finished doing so did Kenneth announce the start of the meeting.

"The reason we've summoned everyone here is because Aika Satiao will be attending the King Selection soon. Therefore, the Clock Tower has asked us at the El-Melloi School to select the person to accompany her."

Kenneth immediately made clear to everyone the main purpose of this meeting.

"Since the Clock Tower decides, why doesn't the principal choose the candidates, but instead we are responsible for everything?"

Someone in the crowd asked a question.

"Don't you know this question?"

Kenneth said this, looking around at the magicians present. Everyone shrank back at Kenneth's hostile look.

Luna was very keenly aware that some people in the crowd were scared away by Kenneth's aura.

Seeing that his momentum had some effect, Kenneth continued:

"Actually, there have been some rumors circulating in the Clock Tower recently, including one that many people have been spreading that Sajo Aika is actually connected to the Root. I imagine some of you here have been secretly conducting a lot of research, right?"

If Kenneth's previous question was an ambiguous one, the people present could still fool him with all kinds of vague words.

But now, Kenneth directly penetrated this thin barrier.

He directly questioned everyone as the Lord of El-Melloi.

Kenneth's reaction made many people attending the meeting secretly wonder if this was some kind of accountability meeting.

So the heads of many families at the scene began to deny it:

"No, no! How dare we!"

"Yes, yes, Sajo Aika is from our school. How dare we hurt one of our own?"

"Besides, she's a Grand Mage. How could an ordinary assassin possibly defeat her?"

"That's it."

"Besides, who would believe that kind of rumor?"

"That's right. If Sajo Ai is really related to the Root, why would she come to our Clock Tower to study?"

For a moment, everyone had different opinions and started to make excuses.

Upon seeing this, Luna immediately had a new respect for the Lord of El-Melloi. After all, her only impression of him before was that he was henpecked...

Well, he's not married, he's a fiancée.

Seeing everyone like this, Kenneth did not hide his joy at all, and seemed to be showing off his management talent.

Then he slowly said, "As for the selection of candidates, I will personally lead the team and be responsible for the safety of this Sajo Aige King Selection Meeting. Of course, other candidates still need to register."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar!

The previous second, everyone was still defending their dark history, but the words that Lord El-Melloi said the next second surprised everyone.

Lord Kenneth El-Melloi is personally responsible for protecting Shajo Aige?

Let the monarch be a bodyguard?

Everyone was completely dumbfounded.

The Monarch, to put it simply, is the pinnacle of power in the Clock Tower.

Now, you let the leader of a school in the Clock Tower be the bodyguard of Aika Sajo?

People no longer know what words to use to describe it.

can only say,

Shatiao Aige is awesome!

This kind of decision may be unprecedented and will never be repeated in the Clock Tower.

Perhaps Sajo Aika is no longer the insignificant figure who was once the number one genius in the Clock Tower.

The current Sajo Aika has unknowingly become a symbol of the clock tower.

It is also a symbol that represents the future reputation and prestige of the Clock Tower.

Thinking of this, those family heads who originally had ulterior motives all began to make their own calculations in their hearts.

Weighing the pros and cons.

"I attended!"

Suddenly someone in the crowd raised their hand and spoke.

"I'll join in too!"

"I attended!"

"Who would miss such an opportunity?"

All of a sudden, everyone in the conference hall started raising their hands and signing up enthusiastically.

Rather than protecting Aika Shajo, it's more like trying to gain Aika Shajo's favor.

Even if you don't have a good impression of someone, at least you can make yourself familiar with them.

The future clock tower will definitely belong to Aika Sajo, so no one will miss this opportunity.

As the audience enthusiastically signed up, Kenneth turned to look at Luna on his left and asked softly:

"I wonder what Miss Luna's plan is?"

"What does Barthemero Monarch mean?"

"He hopes that Miss Luna can act as a thug and help Sajo Aika remove other unnecessary obstacles."

"Oh? King Barthemelo is actually afraid of this kind of thing?" Luna laughed sarcastically.

In her opinion, the current monarch of Barthelmero is indeed very good at management, but someone like him who is good at using conspiracy and trickery is not worthy of the title of King Barthelmero.

In the final analysis, it is because of their narrow vision and tolerance.

Although she was not interested in this proposal, she still wanted to see the attitude of the king she recognized.

"Never mind. I agree to go. But I'll settle the reward with Lord Barthemelo when I get back."

Hearing the second half of the sentence, cold sweat broke out on Kenneth's forehead.

It seems that the Bartomero family owes a lot of debts.

……

The meeting lasted for several hours and the candidate was finally decided.

Apart from some small fry that Luna didn't know, the tentative candidates were Luna, Leif, and Fareus.

Seeing that Leif also joined the team, Aika Sajo further confirmed her thoughts.

There are indeed people who are secretly planning to harm Aika Sajo.

However, interesting things also happened at the scene.

Leif actually proposed in public that Lord El-Melloi remove Fareus.

Luna was very interested in Leif's reaction.

This also confirmed a guess she had before coming here.

The whole thing, the assassination, does seem to be related to Phareus.

And there was still something to settle between her and Fareus.

The death of my father,

That kind of unexpected assassination,

Indeed, only Fareus could do it!

……

End of the meeting,

Crowds of people poured out of the conference room, and Luna squeezed through the crowd to catch up with Leif.

I wanted to take this opportunity to convey a message to Lisa and ask about her recent situation.

But just as she turned the corner, she noticed that Leif and Fareus were facing each other.

Luna quickly hid in the corner and listened carefully to the conversation between the two.

"Why are you here too? I remember you were never the type to protect others," Rafe said.

"I don't understand what you said, Mr. Leif." Fareus narrowed his eyes.

"Do you think you can get away with this, Fareus?" Leif said.

"Did I make you angry again? What are you talking about?"

"Don't underestimate me!" Leif gave a final warning and left quickly.

And Fareus also glanced at the corner and left quickly.

After the footsteps of the two people completely disappeared from the corridor,

Luna slowly came out from the corner,

Her eyes were fixed on the direction where Phareus left.

I don’t know what he is thinking about.

ps: Last week’s bounty has officially ended, and according to statistics, there are a total of 21 chapters owed.

I will add 1 to 2 chapters every day after that. After all, the time for writing is really limited after school starts.

ps2: Additional updates will be added starting today, and there will be another update at 10pm.

ps3: Thanks again to all the big guys for the rewards during the launch period.

Chapter 72: Barthemelo's Friendship

In the western suburbs of London, in Barthemelo's palace,

"Mr. Baoshi, I really admire you for this matter. If I were you, I couldn't stand the little tricks those people did behind my back." said Lord Barthemero.

Lord Barthemelo accompanied Jewel on a stroll through his castle.

"That's nothing. Sending a foreigner like Sha Tiao to participate in the selection for Excalibur is indeed too unbelievable. It's inevitable that other people would have such a reaction..." Bao Shi Weng responded with a smile.

The experienced and experienced Gem Master was quite open-minded about this matter. Although most people in the Clock Tower were calling for Sajo Aika to participate in the King Selection,

But most of these calls come from students.

In other words, they are the same age group as Aika Sajo.

However, there were also voices of opposition among the higher-ups in the Clock Tower.

The Sword in the Stone is the sword of the King of Great Britain. If it was pulled out by a member of the British royal family or a native British person, it would not be a big deal. But as a foreigner, how could Aika Sajo be qualified to pull out the Sword in the Stone?

However, the recent incident in Nalandril had left these people feeling incredibly unbelievable. Shatiao Aige had actually gained the goblins' recognition and obtained the Holy Sword. If this were true, then obtaining the Holy Sword was not impossible.

However, conservatives still don't want this situation to happen.

When Aika Sajo pulled out the sword from the stone, didn't that mean that the local bloodline of Great Britain was no good?

This has also damaged the interests of local factions to a certain extent.

"Mr. Baoshi, can't you see that they don't care who pulled out the sword from the stone? They are only interested in Sha Tiao Ai Ge's body!"

Barthelmero said with cold eyes, "They deliberately promoted the selection of the Sword in the Stone and expanded the selection to include the entire magic world!"

"This way, Sajo Aika's opponents will increase, and her chances of losing will increase. Once Sajo Aika loses, they will have a reason to assassinate her!"

"Not long ago, my intelligence network reported that someone had hired a killer to assassinate Aika Satiao. However, they were all dealt with by Aika Satiao."

When talking about Sha Tiao Aige, Lord Barthelmero's cold eyes still showed a happy smile.

In order to win over Sajo Aika, he has decided to abdicate.

He allowed Lorelei, who had a close relationship with Sajo Aika, to succeed him, while he continued to control the Barthelmero family under the name of the previous monarch. Lorelei was merely a powerful figurehead, displaying the Barthelmero family's prestige through the form of a perfect head of household.
