The air was a little oppressive, and the world outside the window was shrouded in smog.
This was London, where the Clock Tower of the Magic Association was located. Although London had long since gotten rid of the name of Fog City decades ago, the strange sunken terrain had caused a large amount of car exhaust and industrial waste gas to accumulate here. The sea breeze could not blow away the waste gas in the city.
Of course, the white-collar workers who made a living in London would never leave this international metropolis full of opportunities just because of the smog, and the magicians of the London Magic Association would not reject this highly developed city of magic in order to stay away from the terrible air quality.
But…
"Are we already forced to leave this place?”Standing in front of the dim window, a young man with dark red hair and a snow-white handmade suit muttered. His words carried an inexplicable emotion.
On the old wooden table beside him was a slightly yellowed letter. From the dim candlelight, one could see that the Yggdmillennia family had declared war on the Magic Association.
It was precisely because of this that even though this young man was just a magician who was 'dispensable' like an otaku, he no longer had an excuse to stay in the Clock Tower because he belonged to the Yggdmillennia branch family, the Frein family.
Of course, the premise was that he could still escape from the encirclement of those horny magicians from the Law Department.
Rhode Frein Yogg Domirenia, who was given this name and the Frein family name, was sent to the Clock Tower as a hostage since he was young. The lack of magic circuits made him lose his identity as the eldest son and the right to inherit the family's wealth. He could not even guarantee the basic safety of his life.
But even so, Rhode didn't resent it. From the moment he was born into this world, he was different from the rest.
As usual, the one occupying Rhode's body wasn't an ignorant baby but an old monster that had lived for decades.
Or perhaps, he could be called a 'lich'. Yes, this was Rhode's second transmigration. Dozens of centuries ago, he was just a member of the masses, living in a modern society without magic or surreal technology. This rare peace and tranquility lasted until he transmigrated to a world full of arcanists.
He came to Faerun, the world that everyone knew was based on European and American tabletop games, including Baldur's Gate, Neverwinter Nights, Icewind Valley, and many other games. However, the era he transmigrated to was not the chaotic year when the plot began, but an even more terrible period--
In those terrible times, he was known as 'Iolam' and became the teacher of countless arcanists, leading the entire magic empire to expand its territory until the arrival of the natural disaster 'Faerun Sunflower'.
After the whole of Nasiril fell apart, he transformed himself into a Mind Flayers Prime Lich before his lifespan ran out. Then, he spent decades in a lonely and dark underground country with many Dark Elven sisters, until today.
He had come to this world, the world known as the 'shaped moon'! Although it was only a parallel world outside of the FTN main storyline world, it also meant a huge amount of magic knowledge, the 'origin vortex' that he longed for, and the recovery of his human body!
Besides, not to mention the decades of painful experience in the underground world, the long years alone had made him bid farewell to his vulgar interests and embark on the path of pleasure.
At this moment, the most delicious prey was about to fall into the trap of this pleasure criminal.
“呯!呯! " Bang!" A deafening knock sounded from the door of his magic workshop. Rhode shrugged and said to the person outside.
"What's the matter? Didn't I say that no one was allowed to disturb me when I was conducting magic experiments?”
"Tsk…Are you cutting magnetic lines () with one hand in the magic workshop again?”His words were full of disdain, but his light voice made people have a good impression of him.
" No, I didn't. I created so many Pleasure Golems. Why would I do it myself?”Rhode heard the familiar voice and couldn't help but feel bitter. "What's the matter? You can just send away ordinary thieves, Liu Zhu.”
"Oh? In your eyes, those 'designated enforcers of the seal' are also thieves? If that's the case, I'll just send them away.”The girl named Liu Zhu said softly, but her words carried the charm of a venomous tongue. "Also, are your inflatable girlfriends (golems) really strong? It's a pity that I casually dismantled a few of them…"
"Tsk…you are indeed the culprit.”Rhode shook his head helplessly. He recalled the few special-purpose puppets that were sliced into pieces and couldn't help but shout. " Do as you please. Be it the executor of the seal, the lord of the Creation Division, or even Elmero II, send them all away or cut them into pieces!”
"As you wish, Master." The lively voice was still pleasant to the ear, but it contained a cruel killing intent.
Rhode narrowed his eyes as if he was deep in thought. Beside him, under the dim candlelight, there was a struggling Werewolf whose stomach was cut open.
……
A few minutes later, a few figures stepped into the sea of flowers in the courtyard in front of the magic workshop. The leader was a golden-haired magician in a red trench coat with a ferocious expression.
Just as he was about to say something, a sudden voice came from behind them.
"Mr. Cornelius Aruba? I'm sorry, Master is still experimenting and doesn't intend to meet guests.”The source of the voice was an exquisite young girl. She was about 1.6 meters tall, but her arrogant expression seemed to be looking down on everyone present.
"Oh? Was it Rhode's puppet? That is mine." A magician with a hedgehog head said. Just as he was about to step forward, Aruba, who was wearing a red windbreaker, stopped him.
"At least we can discuss how to split the loot after we kill Rhode.”Aruba said elegantly. He slowly raised his palm and faced the young but innocent girl. His deep chanting echoed in the antique courtyard. Obviously, he disdained to talk to a golem.
“Goaway_the_shadow……”
"Attacking a lady makes you look very ungentlemanly.”The pure girl said softly, and an innocent smile bloomed on her face. "I'm called 'Crystal Bead', the' Self-disciplined Clockwork Golem 'that Master created. It's also the only one at the moment.”
"Ah!"
As Liu Zhu introduced herself, Aruba suddenly wailed.
His raised arm was suddenly cut off at the root, and sticky blood gushed out of the scarlet wound.
"Aiya, aiya, you dirtied the soil. It can be considered as some fertilizer for the flowers.”Liu Zhu said with an innocent smile. There was no trace of cruelty in her light words.
"Tsk! Tsk! A faint sound echoed in the courtyard. In the blink of an eye, the designated enforcers of the seal were turned into scattered corpses.
"What did you do!" Aruba, who was relying on the Rune to defend himself, roared hysterically, but his eyes were filled with fear.
" Nothing..." Liu Zhu said lightly. Then, her skirt was slowly lifted, and two big treasures, or two curved, black sickles, came out from it.
"I merely cut open time.”
The girl declared, and Aruba's head slowly slid down his neck in shock.
Scarlet blood splattered.
The girl named Liu Zhu seemed to be strolling in a sea of flowers, deftly stepping over mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
Welcome to…
Arcane and mysterious world!
