In Type-Moon, people create a magic family lineage

The girl, who was arrogant to the point of being overbearing towards outsiders—who didn't treat others as human beings—was surprisingly patient with the descendants of 'Louis'.

She put down her pen, handed the completed assessment form back to Lu Kang, tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear, and spoke calmly: "Although you did not join Barthero's ranks, the successor of 'Luvist,' who once defeated Barthero, would be a great disgrace to Barthero if he were to die at the hands of others before he had fully grown up."

"If you stay in the El-Melloi mansion, this situation will naturally be difficult to occur—although Lord El-Melloi has limited talent, the magic workshop he built is still strong enough to withstand the impact of most modern magic."

"But things are different now."

"In the name of Barthezmello's successor, I cannot tolerate such a situation!"

In other words.

They really came to protect themselves.

Even though the reason was a bit bizarre, it was in line with the Barthellello family's usual way of doing things... Lu Kang clicked his tongue in amazement, but he didn't object to Lorelei's heavy tone in commenting on Lemon Head.

Having the opportunity to become a 'Grand Master' is still somewhat different from those who are destined for or have already achieved Grand Master status.

"So, you want to be my bodyguard, sticking by my side 24/7?"

"If needed—"

"No, I'd better decline."

Lu Kang quickly waved his hand: "Besides, are you making such a big fuss because you're afraid people won't know I'm 'Lu Weister'?"

“Now that the mark of ‘Louis’ has been revealed, there is no way to hide it—whether it’s the Mage’s Association’s astronomical observatory, the Church’s Executors, or even the Burial Agency, they can even observe the signs of Louis’s own death, so how can you possibly hide it?”

At this point, Lorelei, who did not inherit the surname, inexplicably raised a smile of excitement on her lips: "Besides, if you are really in danger—if I save you, it means you have to repay me."

Is this perhaps the girl's real purpose?

There was no emotion involved; it was all about 'utilitarianism'.

Fortunately.

Not to mention his current state of true mystery and mastery, where he has forged a divine body and achieved a cycle of rebirth, even before, he didn't need protection.

Lu Kang opened his mouth.

But the words were not yet uttered.

“Mr. Lu Kang, and someone next to you—if you think your knowledge is sufficient for you to whisper among yourselves in this serious lecture hall, then I think instead of wasting your time here, why don’t you come up and give the lecture, and I’ll go down and listen to the lecture? How about that?”

Kenneth's sarcastic remark followed: "I'd love to hear what you have to say."

Lu Kang cast an innocent look at Kenneth.

Innocent, but it also sounds like 'bullying the weak and fearing the strong'.

Kenneth got angry and threw a tantrum.

Lorelei remained unmoved, simply sitting up straight. After all, she had not yet inherited the position of 'Monarch,' and no matter how proud she was, as a student of the Clock Tower, she still maintained a semblance of respect for the 'Monarch.'

Meanwhile, Weber, who had moved from his original spot, would occasionally glance back and see Lu Kang chatting and laughing with Lorelei. He could only feel a little envious before burying himself in his studies again.

His idol, Louis Vuitton, was able to achieve the pinnacle of world glory in a single generation.

There's no reason why I can't do it!

...

at the same time.

Underground at the clock tower.

It is a region far deeper and farther than the scattered underground clock tower classrooms, reaching almost the limits of normal geography and touching the core of the planet.

The innermost part of the Tomb of Albion, which was formed after the fall of the ancient world dragon, is close to the edge of the 'Fairy Layer', a place that no one has been able to reach since the Clock Tower was built two thousand years ago.

Highly viscous magic, almost tangible, flowed here, submerging the not-so-spacious space in a torrent of tiny fragments.

It flows, gushing forth like blood.

Submerged, yet pulsating like a heartbeat.

Then, after reaching a certain point, it suddenly accelerates!

Roar!

A faint, sharp dragon's roar suddenly arose, causing a cataclysmic upheaval in this deepest place.

This also brought with it a humming sound as the 'Observatory' Calion, located 20,000 meters above the clock tower and built under the supervision of the Astronomy Department, one of the twelve departments of the clock tower, operated from underground to observe the 'sea of ​​stars'. The mechanical components were so tightly packed that they were almost overheating!

"Highly mysterious energy has been detected at the edge of the 'Inner Sea of ​​the Stars'—the energy level is close to the highest, almost reaching the level of true ether from the Age of Gods!"

"Changes detected at the edge of the fairy layer."

"Detected..."

The continuous reports brought about the same high-intensity, overloaded operation of the mystical techniques.

However, the barrier that appeared was easily destroyed by the pale shadow that leaped up from the depths of the earth.

The monarch of the Astronomical Sciences, Marisbury Animusfiah, stood at the edge of the observatory, watching the shadow that had suddenly appeared and disappeared, his face extremely solemn.

...

Inside the classroom of the Spirit Descent Technology University.

After stopping his chatter with Lorelei, Lu Kang closed his eyes and then opened them again, feeling the subtle vibrations emanating from the ground and the feedback that followed. He also slightly withdrew the True Aether Magic that had been drawn from deep underground into the Tomb of Albion.

A mysterious, viscous place, 80,000 meters away.

In a very short time, he 'penetrated' it directly.

Next, all you need to do is wait for the 'dragon' you left behind to give back and return.

First, retrieve the remnant that is closest to your present self.

To some extent.

This was actually his real purpose for coming to the Clock Tower for classes.

It is a true, unknown secret!

Chapter 85 Hier: That is to swear allegiance to you!

The miniature version of the World Dragon, which Lu Kang pieced together deep within the Tomb of Albion during the realistic French period in the simulation and contained the 'Miniature World Egg', was originally intended to make it as easy as possible for him to obtain it as quickly as possible after returning to the modern era.

The tomb of Albion is located directly beneath Big Ben, where the clock tower itself stands, deep underground in the British capital city of London.

His actions at this moment are perfectly reasonable.

This is what truly deserves to be called the 'fastest acquisition speed'!

Of course, even though it was the fastest, he could sense the response from the 'miniature world dragon' below to his call for true ether magic. However, true ether, which originated from the same source as the Age of Gods and could only be created by 'gods', could instantly penetrate the extremely high concentration of mystery constantly emanating from the corpse of the ancient world dragon after its death. It would still take a short time for the dragon carrying the miniature world to manifest on the surface.

Maybe half a day, maybe a day.

Lu Kang was unhurried, having anticipated this, and naturally had the patience to wait.

...

Despite some minor hiccups along the way, Kenneth's necromancy course ultimately concluded successfully as always. He himself didn't explain too much content—the Clock Tower adheres to the philosophy that anyone who comes can learn as much as they want, and all the large classrooms are basically open to the public. However, this is just the Clock Tower's philosophy, not the lecturers' philosophy. At least most lecturers will not expound on truly crucial esoteric knowledge in their public classrooms. For these elites who stand at the top of the Mage's Association, this is more of a selection process.

He selects barely usable talents from commoners or 'ordinary' family lineages that are less than five hundred years old, and brings them under his command.

Their real lessons are taught in small classrooms, not in large lecture halls, to their true disciples.

Compared to individuals with only small classrooms, those with large classrooms undoubtedly have a wider range of talent sources and their power grows faster.

As Kenneth walked out of the large classroom carrying the mysterious 'lesson plan,' the environment inside remained quiet and solemn, showing no sign of relaxation after the lecturer's departure, nor any atmosphere of the end of get out of class.

Until Lu Kang got up and stretched.

He looked at Lorelei beside him: "Aren't you leaving?"

The girl glanced to the side, her ponytail sweeping across her face, yet her posture remained upright and straight.

“If you don’t leave, I’m afraid no one here will dare to leave except me!” Lu Kang tapped the table and said.

Lorelei could naturally tell that the atmosphere around her was influenced by her, but she didn't care at all.

What's there to care about when we're just a bunch of 'ordinary people'?

But she would listen to what Lu Kang said.

"Let's go then."

The girl stood up and spoke, her slightly upturned flaxen almond eyes remaining calm throughout. Her chest was perky, and her legs were raised, supporting her slightly cinched hips. Her demeanor was crisp and efficient, yet carried an air of perfection.

“It’s not like I’m inviting you to come home with me…” Lu Kang glanced sideways at Weber, who was sitting in the front seat on the other side.

Weber didn't turn his head, and still didn't dare to move an inch.

This coward... dares to call himself a 'genius'!

Lu Kang shook his head speechlessly, giving up his plan to walk out of the 'school gate' with this guy as usual... He figured that even if he spoke now, Weber wouldn't dare to approach Lorelei.

He truly is a 'Great Demon King'-like existence.

"Let's go, Miss Demon King."

However, while others may fear him, Lu Kang, the most vicious and evil man of the twentieth century, known as the 'Successor' but in reality the true self, and the uncrowned monarch of the mystical side of fifteenth-century France, a saint of the church, the master of esoteric Buddhism, and an omnipotent man, will not fear him.

The Triple Crown Foundation operates itself.

Not to mention Lorelei, who is only 'perfect' now and has not yet fully grown, even when facing the future monarch Basemelo, who is said to be able to rival the 'Ancestor' among the Dead Apostles, he is not flustered at all.

Lorelei paused for a moment upon hearing Lu Kang's address, but did not respond with any meaningful words.

Or perhaps, she actually likes this title.

'Demon King' can represent 'King of Magic' or 'King of Demons' who inspires fear—she has always believed that mystery can be disguised through awe.

However, Lorelei didn't actually stay by Lu Kang's side the whole time.

Even though she has not yet inherited the name of Barthezello or succeeded to the throne of the Department of Law and Politics, from the moment she appeared, she was the undisputed leader of the students of the Department of Law and Politics and the highest-ranking commander of the institution responsible for managing all the students of the Clock Tower.

It is said that each Lord of Bartholomew is accompanied by a team of over fifty top-notch magicians, known as the 'Cologne Grand Orchestra,' a personal and mysterious army. This group, which can almost be considered a private army in the magic world, has highly integrated magical attributes and characteristics among its members. They are the best supporters of the Lord of Bartholomew and the best 'assistants' under the monarch's command—specializing in enhancing the monarch's grand magic and enabling the monarch to perform more freely and be invincible on the battlefield.

And there is no doubt about it.

The group of law and political science students who have not yet graduated will be Lorelei's supporters after she becomes a 'monarch'.

Those selected to join are undoubtedly top-tier geniuses in the world of magic!

In order to better lead them as monarchs in the future, even though Lorelei herself has reached perfection and only needs time to grow, she will still take the time to train them.

The two soon parted ways in silence at the clock tower's gates.

We went through this gate.

Outside the door lies the secular world.

Unless one is at great risk of offending the entire Magic Association, no one would normally attack Lu Kang in public.

On the contrary, the Clock Tower headquarters, which does not actually prohibit internal strife, may be at risk.

Lorelei clearly thinks so.

She left very decisively.

"Another 'tsundere' type."

Watching the girl with the red ponytail swinging as she walked away, Lu Kang simply commented, "This kind of awkward behavior, which uses various reasons to build up but is essentially still expressing 'friendliness,' is just like Webber and Lemon Head's tsundere attitude."

Although this kind of arrogance is something most people can't handle.

However, Lu Kang still wanted to complain about why he was surrounded by such guys... Even though birds of a feather flock together, he didn't think he was arrogant at all!

"Forget it, let's ignore this guy for now."

Lu Kang walked out of the clock tower's doors.

It was the instant he took that step.

Lorelei paused slightly after walking a short distance, as if sensing something, and turned her eyes back to look at the boy's figure that had disappeared beyond the coverage area of ​​the Big Ben clock tower.

Her gaze was deep and thoughtful.

He looked thoughtful.

...

"It should be almost time."
