clock tower

(One)

More than a year later, England, London.

The ancient bell rang in the thick morning fog, as if it was a long and quiet passage through time.This Normandy-style building with a history of more than 900 years stands on the north bank of the River Thames. It is not only a strong castle fortress, but also a magnificent and beautiful palace. whisper.

For some families of magicians hidden in legends, the clock tower is not only a symbol of the unshakable power of the royal family. In the white tower with three sides and one circle, the spiral staircase leading to the top floor leads to it. The ultimate glory and honor of the pinnacle of a magician's academic and abilities.

Just like in the world of the mafia, all mafia families try their best to send their heirs to the so-called mafia schools; Enroll in further studies, and systematically learn professional knowledge in various aspects such as spiritual seance, alchemy, medical treatment, divination, and summoning from senior mentors with noble morals and talents.Of course, there are also some ordinary emerging magician families who are sent to the clock tower to study through the efforts of their parents. From Youyi's point of view, these pampered young masters and ladies don't have the physical fitness to wear dresses and long skirts), but blind discrimination is everywhere, and even the tutors advocate bloodline theory and insist on suppressing those students with innovative thinking.

"...It needs to be emphasized that in the world of magicians, birth and bloodlines will be the key to determine the quality of talents. The reason is that the mysteries of magic cannot be cultivated in one generation, and parents need to spend their whole lives on it. The research hard work is handed over to the children, and the older the famous magician family, the more authoritative it is."

——No, it should be said that the older the famous magician family, the more dangerous and selfish it is... In this era of information explosion, it is precisely because scholars are willing to share what they have learned with the next generation and study together Only then can students get more multi-dimensional and multi-angle thinking feedback and benefit from each other.Throughout the ages, there are many examples that have no blood relationship with the mentor but are more able to carry forward the knowledge of the predecessors than the descendants of the mentor. There are Confucius and his 72 disciples in the East, and Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle in the West. The three generations of masters and apprentices of Germany are also known as the "Three Sages of Ancient Greece".Is the literature collected under the pen, the information collected is only two pages or less? !There's not even any information about Miss Gloria... Didn't it mean that she enrolled in the Clock Tower? Why doesn't she even have a frontal photo? "

"I heard that a hacker attacked the clock tower's database not long ago. It is suspected that they wanted to steal some magic secrets that the clock tower refused to disclose. The student information database was implicated and lost a considerable part of the data. It is estimated that it will take at least one and a half months to restore time." Emiya Kiritsugu sneered lightly when he said this, "It's really a clever method, after one and a half months... the Holy Grail War will be over long ago."

"Kiritsugu, do you suspect that the Spencer family did this?"

As a puppet specially created by Einzbern for the Holy Grail War, Irisviel is not very good at these high-tech products. Faced with these things that she couldn't understand, the silver-haired woman just opened her ruby ​​eyes wide. Usually clear and beautiful eyes, staring at her husband wholeheartedly and trustingly.

"No, I don't think the declining Spencer family can have such cutting-edge hacking talents."

Throwing the useless documents in his hands on the table, Emiya Kiritsugu turned his head, gently held the white and soft hand of the silver-haired woman, stared deeply at his wife's innocent eyes like a child, "Eri, if You must be careful when you meet people from the Spencer family in this Holy Grail War. Although it is just a rumor, it may not be groundless..."

"Kiritsugu?"

"There are rumors that after the death of Spencer's previous Patriarch, the forces that protected this Miss Gloria... have acted ruthlessly, very mafia style."
