The train’s heritage comes from two aspects.
First, the Demon Eye.
Each magic eye has a special power. The magic eyes that are auctioned are only a small part of it. More magic eyes are kept as collections in the special warehouse "Pandaemonium" on the train. If used properly, it will become a terrible power.
Everyone believed that the train had the ability to do so—even risk-free removal and transplantation were possible, let alone utilization
Second, the owner of the train.
The train's owner, Rita Rojian, is one of the twenty-seven ancestors and is very powerful. Although she has not appeared on the train for a long time, no one can ignore her presence.
It is no exaggeration to say that the Mystic Eye Collection Train is a real den of wolves and tigers. It is so dangerous that Waver cannot feel at ease no matter how prepared he is, and he has to swallow his pride and ask Shinji for help.
"Will you accompany me to the Magic Eye Collection Train?"
"No problem, let's go when."
Shinji had no intention of refusing since it was about the holy relic of Iskandar. Besides, a person he cared about very much would appear on this Mystic Eye Collection Train, and a series of very interesting events would also occur, which should not be missed.
After hearing that Shinji had indeed agreed, Waver tugged at his tie and let out a long breath.
"Three days later, late at night, at an old train station in the suburbs—"
"What did you say?"
However, before he could finish his words, the young man sitting opposite him suddenly pressed his forehead and cried out in surprise, with golden light spreading out from the depths of his azure pupils.
"Damn, what a coincidence."
"What's wrong?" Weber's expression changed slightly and he asked in a deep voice.
As the golden light in his eyes faded, Shinji lost his original confidence, replaced by annoyance and apology.
"Just received news from Elquit that Einnashe is about to appear."
"Fu Hailin... The Seventh Ancestor..."
Waver frowned. Although he didn't know how he got the information, he could tell that Shinji was not lying, and that the Seventh Ancestor had extraordinary significance to him.
"—Is it necessary to go?"
"I have to go. Fuhailin only appears once every few decades. If I miss this one, I don't know when the next one will come. It doesn't matter to me, but Elquet can't wait. Her blood-sucking urge has become so severe that she can't suppress it and has to seal herself. In order to relieve this urge by not sucking blood, the True Red Fruit is necessary, so I have to go."
He had promised Elquet that he would take her to explore Mooncell.
He had promised Elquet that he would see the world with her.
He promised Elquet that he would not let her sleep alone.
He had promised Elquet that he would kill Roya with her.
He was determined to get this True Red Fruit, so Shinji would accept it even if he had to go back on his word, apologize, or be scolded by Waver for being untrustworthy.
"I'm sorry, Weber. I know that relic is very important to you, but Fuhailin's matter cannot be delayed either."
The other party's attitude was so firm, what else could Waver say? He was not a little princess who thought that the world should revolve around him, he could only accept reality.
"I understand. There's nothing we can do about it. You and I both have things we need to accomplish. Let's cheer each other on."
"Well, cheer each other on." This attitude is exactly what Shinji appreciates the most.
"Then I'll go back first. Time is short and I have to prepare as soon as possible—"
"Wait, don't leave so quickly. I can't go with you, but that doesn't mean I can't help."
"real?"
Hearing Shinji say this, Waver's face lit up with joy. When he was rejected, he felt terrible, but he didn't expect that things would turn around.
"Of course." Shinji nodded with a smile.
"How can I help?"
"It depends on your arrangement. I just checked. The invitation is limited to three people. If it weren't for the incident with Fu Hailin, it would be easy to handle. You and I, Grey, would beat Lita Rojian in person. Unfortunately, I can't go due to time conflicts, so I have to find a replacement. First of all, the lecturers are ruled out. These guys are all old hands. If you take them, it is easy to have problems with not working hard. The security personnel hired by the department cannot be brought either. Before the method of stealing the holy relics is solved, they are suspects. So it seems that only students can be used. Flatt has gone to Monaco, so he can't be relied on for the time being."
Monaco is Flatt's hometown. I heard that there was some problem at home and he didn't dare to go back to deal with it.
"Sifen has just been promoted to the position of dean, and there are a lot of troubles waiting for him to deal with."
Rank is proof of identity. The higher the rank, the more privileges one has in the Clock Tower, and the more complicated the promotion procedures are. It was not so difficult to be promoted to the rank of a nobleman, but it took Kenneth a whole month to be promoted to the rank of a crown.
"The remaining Pantier sisters and Roland Belkischi are not bad, but they are still a little worse than those two guys."
These three names were also famous students in the El-Melloi classroom, especially the Pantier sisters. Their eccentric personalities and the wonderful magical synchronization that was unique to twins made them stand out wherever they went, and Waver suffered a lot because of this.
"But I don't recommend you take these guys with you. Their ability to cause trouble is proportional to their strength. It's too easy for them to get into trouble. They might get into conflict with other passengers before they find the things they want."
"... "
Weber was speechless, his stomach twitching. Why were all his students a bunch of problem children
"Who do you want to take?"
"Isn't the new student a very good student? He is pretty good, and you even taught him the technique of the 'Baghdad Battery', but you got scolded by Lanis."
The Baghdad Battery, or the original battery, is the secret technique of the Gariasta clan, and it should not be passed on to outsiders. Unfortunately, in the recent Izeluma incident, the structure of the technique was analyzed and improved by the humanoid universal CPU Flat, and the results were written as an assignment and handed over to Weber.
Weber stopped by the headquarters to ask about it, and found out that the technique had not been patented, so he combined Flatt's work with his own theory to materialize it, and taught it to the freshman who had an amazing aptitude for electric magic.
The reason why he was scolded by Lanis was because Weber had violated a taboo again. For a magician, the secret of magic can be said to be comparable to his own life. He did not apply for a patent not because his own technology was not important, but because if he applied for a patent, it would spread among magicians. Compared with a small right, concealment itself is more important.
Analyzing other people's spells is a destruction of magic, and a blasphemy against the spells that the magician family has accumulated for generations. It is not surprising that he was killed for this. Lanis scolded Weber more than once, asking him to restrain himself, but Weber not only did not listen, but became even worse. This time he directly copied and taught the results to others. If Atram knew about it, a war would be inevitable.
PS: Regarding the princess, well, she is obviously my favorite character, but her role is inexplicably less. I will find a chance to complete it with a special chapter, that's all.
PS2: Attention, attention, the old book club group is full. Since yesterday, you can't join even if you apply. Now we are opening a new book club group. The group number is 1·3·2·6·4·8·0·9·1. If you want to join, join here. This is a 2,000-member group contributed by the big guys. It may not be filled up in a lifetime. (The group owner is not a traitor, but a certain manager. The traitor is a poor guy who has no money to charge for VIP)
