Type Moon World, this moon is really wild

"Hmm? It smells good, is it chocolate?"

"Yes."

Now that things had come to this, Yinglin stopped hiding anything and took out the chocolate cake she had prepared the day before.

Since he had only known Lilith for a short time, and Yinglin didn't know which element would be suitable, he simply used their first meeting as an example.

In the cold night, only the barbecue the boys were having on the riverbank seemed to bring warmth.

Therefore, he attracted Lilith's attention. The boy didn't ask about her identity, and although he might know who she was, he was still willing to share with her.

Upon receiving the cake, Lilith was extremely excited and even had the urge to open it on the spot.

However, she still managed to restrain herself.

"Thank you."

"Don't mention it, we're friends after all."

"So you're already friends after just meeting?" Lilith teased.

"My definition of a friend is someone who will not have any conflicts with me and is willing to help me. No matter how long we spend together, even if it's just a few minutes, that's a friend."

Yinglin explained patiently.

"That's great." Lilith was a little envious; his way of interacting with others was enough to show that Yinglin had a lot of friends.

Unlike her, who is still all alone and just wants to find an opportunity to go down to the mortal world to have some fun.

"Besides, I wouldn't send a chocolate cake if we weren't friends~"

Upon hearing this, Lilith quickly protected the most precious gift she had ever received and replied.

"Spilled water can't be taken back!"

"How could that be? I'm not at the point of being petty."

"Yeah, giving snacks and stuff as soon as you meet is really... generous."

Before long, they arrived at the clock tower.

Lilith, carrying a generous gift, bid farewell to Yinglin and planned to find a place to open the exquisite present.

I believe your gift will not disappoint.

After saying that, the succubus-like girl with gray hair disappeared, and a smile that hadn't appeared on her pretty face for a long time appeared.

"Does this count as approval? After all, Lilith rarely smiles at people?"

Yinglin pondered for a moment, then stopped paying attention to her.

Anyway, once Lilith opens the gift and is satisfied, she will come to find him.

Clock Tower

Compared to the previous simple and solemn style, it is now more rustic and serious.

The clock tower looks much younger after its recent "cleaning".

To sum it up in one sentence, even if he felt embarrassed, Yinglin would still say things are thriving!

It's hard to keep it off; every time I talk about this, I can't help but smile.

Just as Yinglin was walking toward the Second Prince's office to chat with him, a beautiful figure suddenly appeared and caught his eye.

That was exactly what Yao Lan had described—something that seemed like a vampire, but wasn't quite a fairy or a human.

She disguised herself very well, looking like an ordinary young literary girl, petite in stature, wearing glasses, and unremarkable in any way.

"Old Jie?"

Ying Lin deliberately suppressed his voice so that it wouldn't be heard, but the girl still heard it and suddenly looked at him.

A fleeting glimpse of blood-red eyes revealed sorrow and reproach, but mostly joy.

With so many emotions intertwined, Yinglin knew what was going on and thought about going up to say hello.

Finding the most important person in her life, Hinako Akuta naturally had to run over and acknowledge them.

But his situation seems different.

If it's not the person I remember, then should we still try to reunite?

The more Akuta Hinako thought, the more she forgot about Kagerin's actions.

As soon as I looked up, I saw the familiar boy standing straight in front of me.

Hmm, this feels so familiar...

"You're lucky you weren't affected by the teacher. But have you thought about what to do next? In the Clock Tower, I sense your identity..."

"It doesn't matter."

"Hey, don't be like this. I know you like to hide from people, but there's no need to make life so difficult. Let me help you out."

After saying this, and memorizing her scent, Yinglin left.

Hinako Akuta watched the disappearing figure and bit her lip.

I can endure it; after all, so many years have passed, one more day won't make a difference.

But once you actually get to know them...

My heart was no longer at peace; instead, it became somewhat irritable.

Ah, I'm too lazy to care about time anymore. So what if they see through me!

It makes it seem like I'm some kind of very calm person!

Second Office

He's been so busy these days with the clock tower being rebuilt that he's even gotten a few gray hairs.

This scene made Yinglin feel somewhat ashamed; he had to work incredibly hard.

"Second Prince, what's wrong with you?"

Upon seeing Ying Lin appear, he felt as if he had found a savior and couldn't help but complain.

"What else could it be? Most of the magicians in the Clock Tower have died, and their families have been putting pressure on us, demanding an explanation."

"The most obvious one is you."

"I?"

Yinglin was stunned for a moment, but quickly recovered.

After all, he is the only person currently living in the Clock Tower who has the deepest relationship with the Celestial Sovereign.

Chapter 156 Reines Also Wants to Run Away

There is only Olga Marie left, but she has been well protected by Shadow Lin and is with Fuyuki, so almost no one dares to cause her trouble.

Even if they did, they would be killed by the barrier he casually set up.

"How should I put it? Their pressure on you is to get me to go over there and give them an explanation?"

"Not really..."

At this point, the Second Prince was somewhat speechless, muttering, "I find it strange that they've been playing in the Clock Tower for too long, and they actually believe so deeply in the power of the rules."

"More than seeking revenge for their family, they're thinking about stealing your power."

"Huh?" Even Ying Lin himself was stunned. After thinking about it, he felt like those people were just daydreaming.

Is this really what they're going to do?

It's a bit outrageous.

Seeing that Ying Lin himself was stunned, the Second Prince couldn't help but laugh and said, "Sometimes, reality is always so subtle."

"I'm afraid it will take me three days and three nights to figure out what they're trying to do."

Yinglin shook his head speechlessly, wondering if they really believed the power of rules was that effective.

"How about this, you take a look and see what can be changed about the Clock Tower. Personally, I still hope it can be like the Wandering Sea, or at least a less dirty magic organization."

"Whatever difficulties you encounter in terms of force on this road, let me handle them."

With Yinglin's assurance, the Second Prince breathed a sigh of relief and took out a cigar to puff on.

"Is the Holy Grail War really that mysterious? Your power seems to have improved in a way that doesn't seem to have come from the Holy Grail War."

"Maybe I got it through ascetic practices, and incidentally beat up Indra along the way."

Yinglin said half-jokingly.

But his words were remembered by the Second Prince, who pondered them seriously.

It's really possible.

"Hey, you don't actually believe this is true, do you?"

“Possibly, anyway, it can be used as a reference.” The Second Prince exhaled and said, “Besides, have you ever thought that you could also engage in arduous cultivation?”

“In terms of status, you are already noble enough, and money comes easily to you. If you give up everything and live a life of poverty, it would indeed fit the definition of asceticism in Indian mythology.”

It seems that's really the case...

Even Yinglin couldn't hold back anymore and could only mutter something to the spinning top in private—

Red bean paste private Marseille!

I'll continue to joke about you from now on.

"Never mind, it doesn't matter if Indra hears it. Now I'll think about how to deal with it."

"Force, magician's dream, it's time to wake up."

In the declining field of magic, people have stopped focusing on magic itself and instead turned to power politics.

That's really funny.

Regardless of whether magic will truly run out, magic will still have its uses and can be applied to modern technology.

This is also what Yinglin wanted to see.

Even the Second Prince thought so.

"It was indeed crude, but effective."

"Yes, let me be the bad guy. After all, I've only ever been good-tempered. I'm not the kind of person who wouldn't fight back if someone bullied me."

"it is good."

Since Yinglin has said so, the Second Prince will not care about anything else.

As one of the few remaining monarchs of the Clock Tower, he has the means to summon those families.

Not to mention, these people are also thinking of seizing Yinglin's talent, which will only make them more anxious.

Seeing this, Yinglin was about to walk out when he was suddenly hugged.

Looking up, I saw a certain wicked blonde little devil leaning on my shoulder.

"Hey~ You didn't even tell me you were coming?"

"Lenes, what are you trying to do?"

"It's nothing, I'm just even happier to see you here. How about we have a wonderful date?"

The second prince, standing to the side, covered his face in silence.

Are you rushing to deliver it like this?

The Second Prince didn't know what to say about his adopted sister.

Ever since I received treatment from Yinglin when I was a child, I have fallen in love with this outstanding young astrophysicist.

Of course, her initial thought was primarily to use this method to avoid paying exorbitant fees.

Whether Reines still had her original purpose as time went on, the Second King did not know.

"With you..."
