"I have a dream!"
"I dream that one day, the valleys will rise, the mountains will fall, the rough and winding roads will become straight, and the holy light will be revealed and shine on the world."
—This was not said by Weber, but an excerpt from the speech “I Have a Dream” by Martin Luther King, the famous leader of the black civil rights movement and a great man who will surely ascend to the throne of heroes.
However, like Mr. Martin, Weber also had a dream when he was young. He dreamed of surpassing his teacher, Kenneth El-Melloi Archipelago, the most dazzling genius in the Clock Tower, and using this method to repay his former contempt.
Today, the teacher and student have reconciled and both agree on each other's paths and achievements. Weber also knows that he will never be able to catch up with Kenneth, who is at the top of modern magicians, with his own talent and ability, but he is still unwilling to give up. He was inspired by the philosophy of Atlas Academy and found a roundabout way.
—There is no need for us to become the strongest, because the strongest is created by my hands!
I don't have the ability to surpass you, but I can teach people to surpass you.
This was Weber's strategy. To this end, he worked hard and fought hard, and finally made decisive progress ten years later.
Kenneth became famous at a young age and was called a "child prodigy", and what made this title unshakable was that he reached the "position of pian" in the middle of his teenage years.
The way of magic is to accumulate experience. If you fall behind by one step, you will fall behind step by step. To surpass Kenneth, you must start from a teenager. Most of the students in El-Melloi's classroom are teenagers, which is also related to this point.
However, in terms of magic, Kenneth is almost perfect, with top talent, resources, and hard work. Even if he finds the right path, it is not easy to surpass him. Ten years have passed, and many students have graduated from the classroom, and there are also students who have reached the top position, but no one can do what Kenneth did, a teenager, a top position.
Until yesterday, the oldest student in the classroom, Sven Gurashet, passed the position assessment at the age of fifteen.
"Ah finally... finally someone... my student... got there..."
The excitement of achieving his dream and the ecstasy of being proud of his students allowed Weber to indulge himself after a long time.
Not only did he pay for the banquet out of his own pocket, he also drank heavily with the students - in the UK, people are allowed to drink from the age of 5 as long as there is a guardian present.
As a result, Lanis, who was the shortest and the smallest in stature, defeated the whole audience alone. According to gossip, Weber's alcohol tolerance was average, while Lanis's alcohol tolerance was ten times that of Weber.
After returning to the dormitory, Weber still felt unsatisfied, so he took out his treasured wine and drank it by himself.
Different from the wine consumed at the banquet, this was a treasure produced in the Macedonia region in northern Greece. Weber had spent a lot of effort to obtain this treasure, and he would only take it out on special days, reporting to the king on the Throne of Heroes in this way until he was drunk.
As the saying goes, everything has its limits, and excessive joy leads to sorrow.
The day after Weber thought he had reached the pinnacle, tragedy struck.
He opened the safe as usual to check if the items were there - well, there was a bit of showing off to "him" in there, but he discovered that the relic was missing.
The safe was intact and there were no signs of intrusion in the office. If there had not been an extra envelope where the relics were originally stored, Weber would have even suspected that he had drunk too much and taken it away in a daze.
"Envelope? What envelope?" Shinji asked.
"This is it." Waver said, handing the item to Shinji.
The envelope was in accordance with the ancient etiquette of Western Europe. The crystal-like paper was sealed with bright red wax, and the seal with the theme of wheels and eyeballs reminded people of the recent Peeling City incident. However, that incident was completely over, and it should be just a symbol of some kind of magic.
I opened the envelope, and inside was an equally exquisite invitation. On it was written something like "I hope you can overcome all difficulties and attend the banquet" in a smooth handwriting, and at the end of the letter was the sender's name - the agent manager of the Magic Eye Collection Train.
"Magic Eye Collection Train..."
Shinji put the invitation back into the envelope and handed it back to Waver, with a barely perceptible gleam of light flashing under his drooping eyelids.
Is it coming
Shinji is no stranger to the Mystic Eyes. Orange, Lanice, Elquet, Fujino, Shiki, and Shiki are all holders of Mystic Eyes. The Mystic Eyes of the last three are so rare that they are included in the "Seal Designated" list.
Rail Zeppelin, as the name suggests, is a train that collects various kinds of magic eyes and runs through the forests of Europe. Every year, a batch of magic eyes are exhibited there and an auction is held, and the auction items are naturally magic eyes.
The magic eye has a variety of abilities and is a symbol of specialness and power. Many people hope to have a magic eye and are willing to pay a huge price.
In addition to auctions, the train also does business in purchasing magic eyes. Using a magic eye is not without cost. The more special and powerful the magic eye is, the more difficult it is to control.
Take Shiki and Shiki for example. When the magic eyes just awakened, they were not used to the fragmented world in front of them. Shiki's mind gradually developed abnormally, and Shiki also had the urge to blind his eyes. If they had not met the Aoki sisters, they might have been unable to endure the side effects of the magic eyes, and either turned into monsters or perished.
Shiki and Shiki are lucky, but this luck cannot benefit every holder of the Mystic Eye. Some people successfully control the Mystic Eye and turn it into their own help. Some people cannot control it and cannot stand the strange world. Removing the Mystic Eye becomes the best choice. If they can sell it for a high price, it would be even better.
Some people want to buy, some people want to sell, and a market is born. The Magic Eye Collection Train is the highest-end market for the product "Magic Eye".
It is the most advanced because it has a unique technology - risk-free removal and transplantation.
The eye is one of the most complex organs in the human body, and the Mystic Eye is even more so. The higher the level of the Mystic Eye, the more difficult it is to operate. Even an ancient and powerful force like the Clock Tower cannot guarantee absolute success.
But the Magic Eye Collection Train can. Since its launch, the train has had a 100% success rate in removal and transplantation, without a single failure. For buyers and sellers, it is like a savior. As a result, it has attracted many covetous eyes, including the two largest factions in the Clock Tower, Bartmero and Tranberio.
To be able to remain safe and sound amidst so many greedy eyes, and to have a growing business, one can imagine how dangerous and tricky the train is.
