The Wheel of Chronos

Eton College, located on the banks of the Thames River, was once a famous British boys' high school in the old era. It has produced countless celebrities and witnessed the glory of the British Kingdom for hundreds of years.But after the disaster, it disappeared for a while, and no one thought of it.After the Empty Period, the empire regained the glory of the Renaissance, and the British descendants once again remembered this proud school with a long history, so under the leadership of several nobles, Eton College began to rebuild.

In just three years, the school was completed and was built on the banks of the Thames.This is a school with a very long history, but also a very young college. It is no longer a boys' middle school, but a co-educational, aristocratic comprehensive school from elementary school to university.

And this place used to be the alma mater of Sharon and Josephine.

Xue Lun has been excellent since she was a child. She entered Eton College at the age of 6 and skipped two grades. She graduated from Eton College with honors before she was 15 years old and was admitted to the Imperial Central Military Academy (the old name is commonly used by the people - the Supreme Military Academy, Supreme Military Science).

Different from the old era, now that we are in a time of war, the school system has changed.Children enter elementary school at the age of 6 and start to receive compulsory education, 5 years of primary school, 6 years of middle school, and graduating from middle school at the age of 17, the end of compulsory education. The age of 17 is also the age for uniform military service. Both men and women are required to serve in the military for two years. That is to say, college admissions generally start at the age of 19. The schooling system is generally three years, and some institutions of higher learning or majors are four years. This is the same as in the old calendar era. Same, graduated from university at the age of 22 or 23.

But military students are different. Once admitted to the military academy, they are already soldiers, and they serve while studying, which also saves her more time.The schooling period for undergraduates in military academies is four years, and there is no system of skipping grades.Sharon entered the school at the age of 16. At the age of 20, she passed the third-level commander examination (that is, the undergraduate graduation examination) known as the "hell test" without any suspense. Began to study secondary strategic command.

Such a proud child of heaven fell like a meteor because of an inexplicable church collapse accident.Because of serious injuries, Xue Lun had to give up her studies and dropped out of the highest military academy. Not only that, but due to her severe physical disability, she couldn't even serve as an ordinary non-commissioned officer.Such a proud noble woman does not allow herself to be looked down upon by others.She dropped out of the highest military academy and ruined her military career.

Fortunately, the current technology of mechanical prosthetics is very mature.During the three-year war between the empire and the Lemuria continent, a large number of soldiers were injured, and amputees abounded. At that time, the population resources of the empire were extremely scarce, especially soldiers. Every soldier was an extremely valuable force against the Lemuria continent. So as long as they have the ability to go to the battlefield again, even disabled soldiers with amputations hope to return to the battlefield and do their part.Her Majesty the Empress specially took the lead for this, and the National Academy of Sciences of the Empire combined the neurological technology left over from the Nine Gods System to successfully develop a mechanical prosthesis that can move freely.Mechanical prosthetics can be mass-produced in a short period of time and quickly match the body parameters of the assembler.The fitter only needs to participate in a two-week rehabilitation to be able to move again without hindrance.

However, mechanical prosthetics also have disadvantages.At the beginning of the match, it was very painful. After a long time, the connection with the body will be damaged to varying degrees, and drugs must be taken for a long time.In order to solve these shortcomings, in recent years, mechanical prosthetics have been customized, and the assembly time will be longer. This type of mechanical prosthetics is specially made for the user, and it takes longer to match the user's nervous system and reduce side effects.

Of course, there are also amputees who do not choose mechanical prosthetics to return to normal life, but choose autologous organ culture and transplantation techniques to regenerate limbs.This technology relies on the artificial reproduction technology developed during the federation period, and it can be applied for in various life breeding centers scattered in various regions, and it has also been promoted to a certain extent.It's just that this technology now takes a long time and is expensive. The cost of time and money is far greater than that of mechanical prosthetics, which makes many people discouraged.

Sharon is not short of money, what she lacks is time.After losing her right hand and leg, she decided to install her own mechanical prosthetics to return to a normal life as soon as possible.When she listened to doctors and nurses whispering about the inside story of the church collapse in the hospital, she rekindled her hope of living.This raging fire burned into her soul, urging her to work harder, and one day, she would make the person who killed Josephine pay for it with blood.She cherishes time extremely, and always hopes that she can become stronger and armed as soon as possible, so as to vent out this burning feeling as soon as possible.

There is a saying in ancient Chinese: It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years.Sharon wants this retribution to come as soon as possible, so that those sinful souls will be punished as soon as possible!To this end, she paid the sweat, hard work and pain that most noble women would not be able to pay in their lifetime, and spent six years building herself into a revenge machine.

But six years later, even though she had searched everything she could, she still couldn't find out who the New World cultists were who caused the church to collapse.She had tried to sneak into the New World Church in disguise, but the New World Church had stopped accepting new members over the years, and all the old members were familiar faces. Once a new face appeared, they would be heavily checked.It is said that the New World Cult also includes spies from Lemuria. They have a unique ability to recognize spiritual imprints. No matter how much you look like, the other party can see through you with just one glance.The difficulty of infiltrating was too great, and Sharon had to monitor the outside all the time.

Recently, she has been thinking about a way to completely wipe out the New Continent Sect. Since she can't find out the culprit, she might just kill the den of thieves. Maybe this can break the deadlock.It was just at this juncture that the watchmaker at the Time watch shop gave her an unexpected message. After thinking twice, Sharon planned to temporarily change the direction of the investigation and follow the clues given to her by the watchmaker.

It was 12:27 am on December 10 when the Spencer family's car drove into Eton Park. When they parked the car and opened the door to get out of the car, the bell rang for the end of get out of class at 27:10.On the bell tower at the northeast corner of the main teaching building, the retro bronze bell rings "dong dong", which instantly awakens the memories of Sharon Middle School.The gothic-style campus buildings, although the building materials are new, but inexplicably bring a sense of history.

The past is like a cloud of smoke, but now it is really beyond recognition.

Sharon took a deep breath of the cold air, stepped on the gravel road, and led Old Jack to the main teaching building.

Sharon stepped on the stone steps leading to the teaching building with her leather boots, and after climbing a few steps, she involuntarily stopped and turned to look back.On Christmas Eve six years ago, she was standing at the bottom of these steps, waiting for Josephine to finish her get out of class and pick her up for dinner in the restaurant.The girl briskly ran down the steps with the book in her arms and came to her.That day she was wearing a navy blue double-breasted woolen coat school uniform, a red plaid skirt, black thermal stockings, brown red leather shoes rattling on the stone steps, and her long light brown hair tied into a clean and refreshing ponytail, pure and smart Like an angel.She clearly remembered that her face was flushed red by the cold wind and was full of happy smiles, but she complained in her mouth that she came too late.I asked her if she had a lot of homework, but she said that she had finished writing a long time ago, and she finished reading a small book in her own time.This little clever ghost... is worthy of being her younger sister, and her grades will always be among the best.If she's still alive... Now it's time for her senior year, she should choose philosophy or ancient English literature. There are really not many young girls who are still keen on reading paper books and spending all day in the library.She should be able to be a great teacher in the future, that has always been her dream...

Josephine...

Tears welled up, Xue Lun took a deep breath and suppressed the tears.Turn around quickly and stride into the teaching building.

This main teaching building is mainly used by the university department for classes. There is a library on the fourth floor on the top floor, and there is a quite quiet self-study reading room in it. Few high school students know about it.When Josephine was a librarian, the head teacher of the high school library told her this little secret. Josephine would often come to the university area to read and study in the self-study reading room, so Xuelun could always Wait for her downstairs.

But this is the first time that Sharon has stepped into the main teaching building. The smooth marble floor is almost impressive, and the row of Gothic columns on the edge of the corridor is full of classical style.Sharon didn't appreciate it much, and went straight up the stairs, heading towards the big classroom.

She has already found out through the wristband positioning system written by herself that the fourth-year student in theology department named Claude Williams is now teaching in the multi-functional classroom on the third floor.

When she arrived at the door of the large multifunctional classroom, the next class was about to start, and most of the students had already returned to the classroom. A professor dressed as a priest was standing in the corridor outside the large classroom, talking to a girl with.

Sharon walked into the classroom without disturbing the professor.As soon as she came in, she attracted the attention of the students in the classroom.Today, she is dressed in a casual suit, covered with a black knee-length coat, and a long dark blue scarf around her neck, casually hanging in front of her body, still wearing her monocle, clutching the clothes she never leaves her body. cane.It looked much more low-key than that night at Westminster Abbey.However, this attire is still a bit out of tune with the campus.What's more, she looks so glamorous and beautiful that people can't take their eyes off it.

Sharon knew that if she walked in, she would definitely attract people's attention.Regardless of the surprised gazes around her, she followed the GPS instructions given to her by the digital prosthetic eye, walked straight to a boy on the right side of the fourth row of the large classroom and stood still.

The boy looked up and met her gaze.He looked at Sharon with an inexplicable expression on his face, and wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Sharon:

"You have two bracelets on you?"

The appearance of the boy in front of her did not match the photo of Claude Williams she found last night, so Sharon asked this question.

"Yes... yes." The boy replied hesitantly, "May I ask if you are..."

"You know Claude Williams?" Sharon interrupted him again.

"He's my roommate." The boy said.

"Where is he and why did he give you his bracelet."

"He's going to an interview today, but his bracelet broke last night, so he entrusted me to send it to be repaired." The boy was completely overwhelmed by Sharon's stern aura, and he couldn't help but confess everything, and then asked carefully, "What do you want from him?"

"Interview?" Sharon frowned.

"Yes, interview with the pastor of Westminster Abbey." The boy said.

Without saying a word, Sharon turned around and left, met the old butler Jack who was waiting at the door, and walked out all the way.

"The suspicion of Claude Williams is increasing, let's go to Westminster." Sharon walked quickly ahead without turning her head.

"Yes, Miss."

Sharon walked down the stairs on the east side of the main teaching building, and when she reached the corner of the second floor, she suddenly heard a loud bang, and the floor boards shook.She stopped and turned to look at the end of the corridor on the second floor.

"Miss?" Old Jack asked her.

Sharon raised her hand, walked into the corridor on the second floor, and followed the source of the sound.Not long after, she heard a woman whimpering for help from the women's bathroom not far away.

She raised her eyebrows and rushed into the bathroom with big strides. Following the sound source, she went straight to the last compartment. The compartment door was locked, and a woman's desperate cry came from inside.

Sharon lifted her foot and kicked the door of the compartment violently. The door slammed open and hit a tall man hard on the back.The man groaned in pain, and immediately lay forward, half of his pants were taken off his lower body, and half of his butt was already exposed.After the initial fright, the man tried to turn around, but Sharon made a quick move first, stabbing his knee with the cane, and the man immediately screamed and fell to his knees.The cane fluttered and swirled from Xuelun's left hand. She lightly grasped the tail of the cane, and the head of the silver eagle hooked the other's forehead, and pulled back, the boy was immediately pulled to the ground by her. She raised her metal right leg and stepped on the man's chest suddenly. The man let out a muffled grunt. The terrifying force on Sharon's right foot had already injured his lungs. Pig liver color.

The fight ended in an instant, and it took Sharon two seconds to subdue the man who attempted violence. When she calmly asked the girl if she was injured, the girl was still trembling on the toilet seat, unable to react for a while.

Fortunately, the girl was not substantially harmed, and Sharon arrived in time.

But the next moment, the girl was very surprised and said:

"Are you... the earl's sister?"

"you know me?"

"I'm Miranda, sister of the Count, a friend of Josephine's."

Sharon was taken aback, and carefully observed the girl. She had red hair and a cute and beautiful face, but the small round face that used to be covered with freckles had now become an oval face with makeup on, no wonder she didn't recognize her for a while. .This girl was Miranda Walker, Josephine's best friend back then.

The man at the foot finally caught his breath, raised his hand and grabbed Sharon's ankle, struggling in vain, and attracted Sharon's attention. Sharon looked down and realized that this man was the Claude she was looking for. Williams.

Xue Lun suddenly sneered and said, "Hmph, it doesn't take much effort."
