After Aleister showed Cyril's letter of introduction, the Black Prime Minister took Aleister and her "daughter" Leviathan straight into the ziggurat.
At first, Aleister was a little worried about whether Leviathan would hit some bottles or hurt students or something - large dogs must be walked on a leash, let alone Said she was walking a shark or a dragon.
But Aleister soon discovered that Leviathan seemed to be silly on the outside, but was actually very smart - although she didn't like to talk, she could understand and speak. And at least he's more obedient than a real child.
Occasionally, I met a student who came over to say hello to the Black Prime Minister and cast a curious look at Leviathan... Leviathan did not intimidate the other party, but always behaved very quietly and politely. polite.
Although no student came over and tried to touch Leviathan or say hello to Aleister. After all, for the extraordinary people on the twilight path, one thing more is worse than one thing less.
They adhere to the principle that if you can avoid being rude, don’t be rude, and if you can avoid being rude, don’t be rude. They firmly believe that “meddle in one’s affairs and die young.”
But even so, Leviathan still held his head high and nodded politely to everyone passing by. This seems to be a habit inherited from Alphonse.
"You are...Miss Crawley!"
A somewhat familiar voice sounded, and there was undisguised surprise in the voice - for the ziggurat, who seemed like a social animal, For a school that is as lifeless as an office building, this is a rare ray of vitality.
Aleister turned his head and looked over, and found that it was a boy with freckles who looked a little timid.
It was the same Paul she had met on the boat.
"Yo, Paul."
Aleister smiled softly and made a friendly voice: "Long time no see...how is Dimit's injury?"< /p>
——She still remembers my and Dimit’s names!
Paul's mood suddenly rose.
He walked over quickly and said happily: "His injuries are almost healed... His spine was broken by the sea monster's tentacles before, so he couldn't move. But after he came back, The instructor helped him with repair treatment, and he is almost healed now. He can now go to the ground, but he is still resting..."
He walked closer and closer, completely ignoring the black appearance. He only had eyes for Aleister.
“—Hey.”
When he got close to Aleister, Adolf, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up to scare him.
Paul then noticed the other person’s presence, and was startled the next moment: “School, principal?”
“It’s the vice principal, classmate Paul.”
Adolf said seriously and pointed upward: "The principal is looking at you. Be careful what you say."
"Yes, I know..."
Paul's thoughts were disrupted by Adolf and he couldn't remember what he was about to say just now..
But because that matter was very important, even though he was very afraid of Adolf, he still stood here motionless and thought hard.
Because he didn’t want to look too stupid, he randomly found a topic: "Ah... this, this big guy is so handsome! What is his name?"
"Lee Vitan, this is my daughter."
Aleister replied proudly.
"It's actually a girl..."
Paul looked a little confused, but he didn't have any special reaction to the title - after all, in his understanding, It is normal for ladies and eldest ladies to call their pets "son" and "daughter".
The servants of the nobles must also treat those pets with far higher respect than the servants, as if they were really a young master or young lady.
He meditated for a while and finally thought of it: "Oh yes - Miss Crowley, my family...my sister wants to see you...although it may be a bit rude..."< /p>
"Your master?"
Aleister directly exposed his euphemistic words: "Blood Coral? Isn't she your former master? Are you going back again?"
"Yes, yes... I'm going back... It would be great if you got to know my master."
Paul was a little embarrassed, but relieved.
The boy said quickly: "My master said that she has something that will interest you."
"Oh?"
Aleister didn't He thought: "Go back and ask her what it is."
Paul immediately replied: "My master asked me to bring a message - she said, Hercules. You heard this If you read the words, you will agree.”
Hearing this, Aleister’s expression suddenly became serious.
Hercules... that is the royal family of the Herasl Empire, and also the bloodline of Yulia.
As soon as the matter involved Yulia, Aleister immediately became serious: "How can I contact your master?"
"My master said, as long as you agree, If so, she will come to you. As long as you stay in Leipzig, she will find a way to find you."
"...That's the best thing."
Aleister. His eyes became colder.
She looked at Paul and kindly reminded: "If you can resist the kiss of the Moon Child, it is best to stay away from your master."
"Yes..."< /p>
Paul also lowered his head, feeling ashamed of his lack of firm will.
He had already escaped from his master... although he did so under his master's deliberate release. Blood Coral doesn't like to be forced or controlled. She likes people to ask for her. So when Paul wanted freedom, she immediately gave it to him.
——You can go out and play casually, but you will come back in the end.
She knew Paul too well. And it turns out that she alsoThat's right.
Paul persisted for many years, but ultimately failed.
Aleister followed Adolf and turned away. And just as she was not far away, Paul suddenly shouted from behind her: "That——"
Aleister turned around and looked at him quietly.
"...I will work hard!"
"Don't say this to me, say it to yourself."
Aleister smiled slightly Turning back, he turned his body half sideways and said to him coldly: "You are working hard for yourself - not for anyone else except you."
For Aleister, this is It’s an old saying that I’m tired of hearing and saying.
But as soon as he said these words, Paul felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and his whole body suddenly froze.
"You students talk a lot."
Aleister whispered to Adolf: "You don't look like a necromancer at all - it's too noisy."
"You seem to like him quite a bit."
"Not bad."
Different from his previous indifferent attitude, Aleister was actually It gave Paul a pretty good evaluation: "This kid is a good talent - Blood Coral didn't destroy him, probably for this reason."
"That's why we kept him After all, he is more or less a little spy..."
The old man smiled and while chatting casually, he pulled Aleister and Leviathan onto the quite modern transparent elevator: "First of all Get on the elevator."
Aleister looked at the various cables buried in the wall of the transparent elevator and asked curiously: "What energy does your elevator use? Or is it driven by a spirit body? "
"Of course the elevator uses electricity."
The old man replied naturally: "If it is driven by a spirit body, shouldn't it be called a spiritual ladder? ”
What he said makes sense.
Aleister was speechless for a moment: "What a surprise...I thought these pipes were for transporting mana."
"That is for the convenience of maintenance. After all, we are prone to corrosion and damage here. . Fully transparent for easier inspection... By the way, necromancy can also be done, but there is no need to waste resources."
The two of them chatted and the elevator rose steadily and slowly.
From the other side of the transparent elevator corresponding to the door, Aleister clearly saw a black column - this is the backbone of the ziggurat.
It is wrapped in a strong amber light...or in other words, it is continuously producing the power of the dusk path. And this is the core driving energy of the Ziggurat.
Even if you don’t have any knowledge of necromancy, you can easily tell that its texture is like bones.
"Is that Lingpo's spine?"
Aleister asked with interest.
"...I didn't expect you to actually know this kind of secret knowledge."
Hearing this, the current undercover minister was a little surprised.
Aleister asked: "Is this some kind of secret that cannot be told?"
The old man shook his head: "That's not really true. Mainly because there is no such thing. There is no need to show off... and even I don't know where it comes from or why it is so huge.
"If I tell the students, they will ask curiously. I asked and I couldn't answer at all. But at the same time, I don’t want students to care too much about this... Once they are too attached to something or something, they will go astray on the road of dusk. ”
The vice-principal of the Ziggurat said without any hidden words: “So we only put this knowledge in the textbooks, but do not take the test - in this way, we have completed the understanding of the mystery.” By disenchanting it, students can understand it without caring too much about it. "
"Where did it come from..."
Aleister murmured.
She actually knew the answer to this question - this It's not from the memory of the previous life, but Aiwass has already seen this secret when he was learning advanced magic from the Theocracy.
There are all kinds of secrets everywhere in the advanced magic textbooks. The origins and taboos of Tiansi and Zhushen are also mentioned.
This is exactly the opposite of what most people know - because Lingpo Tiansi's appearance is a glowing star. Skull, many people think that Lingpo Tiansi was at least promoted from humanoid creatures.
But in fact, Lingpo Tiansi was a monster left over from the "forbidden" era.
