Vol 3 Chapter 658: 1 infuriating, declining again, 3 exhausted...please don't tell me...

The sun on the horizon was reddening to the west, and a few clouds floated above the sky outside the window.
How long did I wait? Kishua can't remember it. It's been a long time anyway.
"What the am I doing..."
This shouldn’t be the case. This afternoon, he turned off all his official duties. He originally planned to continue to explore the secrets of gems, but later found out that the man he had been thinking about has finally entered the school area, so he immediately got ready to sit down. Here...but why? Why doesn't he come?
I wasted an afternoon in vain, posing here, like a fool... Of course it is impossible, no matter how much he is also the principal, sitting empty during working hours is an anti-professional behavior.
After being silent for more than an hour, Kishua had no choice but to prepare and pre-process tomorrow. Anyway, I can't go back to the laboratory, I can't be disturbed doing experiments, but the people below will come up at any time.
In other words, there is no more time to let go of official business and have fun today...
"What the am I doing..."
【Boom----】
After putting the school's seal on a project application, Kishua unknowingly sent out such emotions, and then he threw away the golden eagle seal in his hand.
With a wave of the magic wand, all the piles of paper were grouped together in one place, the drawers closed, and the ink stains disappeared.
This man, the decadence and sigh just now disappeared like a phantom, his eyes filled with spirit again.
Standing up, the gentleman's stick fell on the ground, and Chishua walked towards the door.
Just now, two strands of condensed magical polymers with excellent convergence appeared in the corridor in front of him.
【咚咚咚】
"Ji~Xiu~A~! I'm here to play with you!~"
An extremely cute child voice sounded from outside the door.
Puff-cough cough cough-
Kishua was almost staggered by himself.
"Ahem, please come in."
With a wave of the magic wand in his hand, the office door was opened. Kishua stood in the middle of the room, looking helplessly at the pair of silver-haired sisters at the door:
"Welcome to you, Guise, Einzbern. Especially Guise. If you haven't seen you for a few days, how come you have become...a lot more beautiful?"
Although I know that Xingqi's new posture is beautiful because of its good genes, how come it has changed so much after changing clothes? Kishua was curious.
"If you dare to ask anything more, I will kill you."
"..."
Yes, being strong means being able to do whatever he wants, Kyshuya decided not to be curious.
"Well, please sit down here." Kishua pointed the two of them to the reception area on the side, and asked:
"But don't you think it's a bit inappropriate to visit at this time? It's time for the dinner soon."
"I know, so we just came to ask you for a place to live. I will be staying in the clock tower for some time recently, so this time is just right. Anyway, I don't plan to work today... Huh? Chishua? what happened to you?"
As soon as Xingke sat on the sofa and was about to take a break, he saw a look of lovelessness, despair and sorrow intertwined on his face, as if he had lost something important, and was thrown into the abyss by the moon mother. .
"Hi! ~ Kishua, don't you scare me? Are you going to die young? Where are we going to live when you die! ~ Hey"
Xingke looked like he was very anxious and raised his wand and poked Chishua on the shoulder.
Xingke didn't know how ashamed and dying of Chishua is now...

In the end, they got a complete apartment for faculty and staff. The conditions were very complete and it could be regarded as a pretty good duplex apartment.
After all, it was the principal himself who personally arranged for them, but the key principal himself, until he left, remained expressionless and desolate.
Kidney? Is it weak? But Xingke didn't see him having a secretary?
Soon it was time for dinner in the evening, and it was also the time when Xingqi and Diana agreed to meet again. The place was already seen when they first came here in the afternoon, and it was connected to the lobby on the first floor. A glass dome building.
The clock tower restaurant is also modeled after the decoration of the phantom open-top restaurant in Hornheim, but it is a bit smaller. After all, the population of the clock tower...not much to be honest.
However, he knew that there was not much, but after seeing the empty scene in the restaurant, Xing Ke could not help but sigh.
"so few people."
Although I don't like the crowds, Xingke still feels a little empty looking at the sparse flow of people around.
Obviously it is a [Student Dining Hall with Meals], but the surrounding scene with more dishes and seats than hungry students makes Xingke unable to react for a while. After all, the nearest school in his memory is actually the Shu Ming Fu Gao in the world.
"Of course, my elder brother—"
Seeing the combination of Xing Ke and Yi Liya, Diana, who had been waiting a long time ago, bid farewell to the two reluctant girls beside her and walked here.
"Yo, Diana, good evening." Xingke laughed.
"Little Anna, was that your friend just now?" Illiya asked with a smile.
"Good evening, sir brother, sister Ilia. Hannah and Barbara are my friends, but please don't care about them."
Diana always felt that if two of her friends got involved with an abnormal creature like her own brother, there was absolutely no benefit.
"Huh? Okay... Diana, you just said that there are fewer clock towers, of course? What do you mean?" Xingke felt that he was slandered again.
"What do you mean... Brother, aren't you one of the founders of the Clock Tower?"
"Well, little Anna, you just assume that we have just returned to this world and can't keep up with this era." Illiya said.
"...Well, let's get a seat first."
Being led by Diana to a corner by the window deviated from the crowd, Diana knocked on the table, and today's dinner allocated according to the number of people appeared on the table.
It seems to be a meal that is ready to be sealed in a different space inside the desktop.
"I don’t know what happened 30 years ago, but the number of recorded wizards in England fluctuates between 8,000 and 9,000... This number, the elder brother and sister Ilia, you know it is What concept?"
"What is the concept, the concept of extinction?" Xingke said vaguely after taking a bite of the sandwich.
"Guise, swallow and talk again, and... don't be so blunt." Ilia reminded.
"Uh... well, that's it. Because of the shortage of students, Hohenheim has expanded the enrollment scope to Europe, North Asia, North America and other regions.
But even so, the number of students enrolled in the latest class is only 180, and the total number of students in the seven grades is only about 1,500, and the number of academic leaders who can enter the clock tower is at most only ten. About one-third... And as far as I know, the total number of resident students, professors, and researchers of the Clock Tower is-376. "
"Um... thanks to Science, Diana."
Just now, Star Engraving finally had a fairly intuitive understanding of this world of doomsday and the extent of the doomsday.
"Little Anna, do you know the status of other magic schools?"
Ilia remembers that there is not only a college in Hohenheim in Europe. Is it really good for them to expand their enrollment now?
"Within the scope of Europa, Durmstrang has closed down. After the last class of students graduated seven years ago, they merged all their students into Boothbatten. Now their school is divided into two colleges and Hornhey. Mu is divided into four colleges.
As for other continents, I haven't heard much news, but I have heard..."
Having said that, Diana's expression changed, a little hesitant, even the apple pie that was about to be put down:
"At that time, I was still young and I was not told the truth, but I heard some discussions from adults: In some countries where the social situation is not stable, it seems that magicians participate in wars, and this has caused all Muggles in the world. The political power’s large-scale investigation of mysterious forces..."
"Witch hunting?" Xing Ke's eyes lit up.
"What are you thinking, Guise? Impossible, humans in this era are not so barbaric."
"Well, it's really not that excessive. It's just that if the captured wizard is weaker and can't escape, he will be forcibly imprisoned as a criminal."
After all, it is a war zone, and some methods that a civilized society would not use may be used, even for troops called justice.
"The end result is that many wizards in Southeast Asia made sacrifices, disrupted the war, created a situation where a large number of war refugees migrated to Europa, mixed many descendants of wizards into the refugee group, and smuggled into the mysterious forces. The declining continent of Europa...As long as it is mixed with refugees, wizards without identification will not be questioned too strictly."
This is really... an amazing event.
"What about the time?"
"... Five or six years ago, it should be around 2018."
Xingke suddenly felt a familiar feeling, I don't know if it was encountered in history.
But it doesn't matter, anyway, the mysterious decline of this world is already a certainty. When things have reached this point, Xingke doesn't think that the ruling institutions of various countries are still as ignorant of the mysterious side forces as they were a hundred years ago.
The forgetting spell is not a panacea. The biggest loophole is that if the number of people who can cast spells and those who can make potions is reduced to a certain level, in the face of a large number of insiders, wizards will lose the means to suppress them. A hundred people know it's okay, but 10,000 or 100,000 can't be helped.
Moreover, isn't there a magic-like [Internet] as a means of spreading [secrets] in this world?
[Science generates power because of sharing, and mystery is powerful because of confidentiality. 】
"It seems that the course of the fate of this world is to completely eliminate the mysterious side..." Ilia sighed:
"Guise, do you have a fortune telling the course of the fate of this world?"
"Well, it's time for divination-April 1, 2166, the time when the mystery of this world has completely disappeared."
"real or fake?"
"False. As long as I am here, the future of this world is uncertain, and I can't fortune it."
"You really intend to do something." Illiya was surprised.
"Of course, this is one of the reasons I came to the clock tower."
Xingke never told Ilia what his purpose was for the clock tower. Now I admit it very readily. He also told Dumbledore this afternoon that he was going to do a big project with Chishua, but he just didn't know what his plan was.
"My brother, what are you going to do?"
Diana feels that this meal is out of order.
Just the tip of the ice exposed on this topic is already related to the fate of the whole world... It would be strange if she could be indifferent to this topic and eat silently.
"Well, this plan is actually just the product of my inspiration, but I decided yesterday when I was in the Dragon Kingdom-[I want to make wizards and Muggles~EbookFREE.me~everyone happy]!~"

In the end, Xingke still said nothing.
She is like this, she has been like this since she was still him, often acting secretly for boring things and the surprised eyes of others.
Although Diana, who was not quite used to Xingqi's irritating way of speaking, was a little frustrated, she wanted to step forward and ask Xingqie who chewed on the salad... but in the end, it was stopped by Ilia in her arms.
Ilia is used to...
On the next day, Xing Ke didn't let Kishuya continue to wait this time. After eating breakfast with Ilia, she went to Chishua's office.
And Ilia went to class with Diana to pass the time. To be honest, Illiya wears school uniform is really a perfect fit into the environment, suitable for transfer to Assassin...
"This kind of thing is fine, please tell me first, what method do you want to use, Guise, to solve the problem of wizards going to the end and the decline of magic power day by day! Please satisfy my curiosity!~"
Jishuya didn't say anything polite this time, and went straight to the topic.
He was aired several times, and Star Carved was like a pigeon slippery, allowing him to escape for various reasons every time, and every time there were people around him, Kishuya really couldn't let go.
"Well, then I'll just say it directly. You should have studied the ruby ​​I deliberately left you. What do you think?"
"...Very good, very powerful." Kishuya's face was startled, and she became serious: "The magic inside is not only huge, but also self-circulating, and it feels inexhaustible."
"Then what do you think if all of Hohenheim, the clock tower, or the territories of various wizards and residential areas are sealed in such gems?"
