: 1938

"Huh"
In the vibration of the flapping wings, there is no desert covered by sandstorms. Under the sun, a dragon flies toward the corner of the desert. The speed is not fast, but it is definitely not slow.
In the body of the dragon, a single whip gathered from all directions, as if it was leading the dragon, flying toward it.
Luo Zhen and Matthew are half-squatting on the dragon's back and staring at the front of the desert.
At a certain moment, Matthew suddenly saw something and quickly made a sound.
"Predecessors! There is a Sphinx group in front!"
Matthew shouted.
In fact, Luo Zhen also saw it.
Just in front of the desert, around a hill, the head of the Sphinx walked back and forth as if walking in a leisurely walk.
That is like being watching something.
"Come on." Luo Zhen said with certainty: "After the sand dunes behind the Sphinx group, there is a relic, and the people of the mountains are all there."
This is what Luo Zhen sees through the god.
And as Luo Zhen said, the Sphinxes are not willing to get close to them, but they are around, seemingly unable to enter, and not willing to be entered by others.
Therefore, when the dragon flew from afar and came to the hill, the head of the Sphinx blinked, and all of them turned their heads and looked over, and the fierce light representing the aggressiveness emerged in the eyes.
However, in the next second, these fierce lights disappeared with great abruptness. The Sphinx of the head did not care about the dragon anymore, and once again took a step.
This scene, not only Luo Zhen saw, but also Matthew saw it.
"Sure enough, the Sphinx will not attack us any more."
Matthew said so.
Along the way, Luo Zhen and others encountered Sphinx more than once.
It is clearly a beast of fantasy species, each of which is enough to make the modern magician crazy. This kind of beast is like a beast in the forest, and can be seen from time to time.
They are like guarding the desert, patrolling every corner of the desert.
People who entered the desert were basically discovered by them and killed by ruthlessness.
When Luo Zhen and Matthew entered the desert, they also ushered in the unrelenting attack of Sphinx. Until then, Sphinx no longer attacked them.
This is undoubtedly the order of the people behind the Sphinx.
The same is true now. For the arrival of Luo Zhen and others, the Sphinx turned a blind eye and let the dragon fly in midair and came to the ruins.
The dragon descended from the sky and landed in front of the entrance to the ruins, letting a dusty wind blow.
Luo Zhen and Matthew came down from the dragon's back and looked at the remains in front of them.
The ruins are not old, but they are quite old, giving a feeling that has a long history.
However, on the ruins, traces of burning and calcination can be seen everywhere, as if they were not destroyed in the historical artifacts, but in ancient buildings built in modern times, but destroyed by a disaster. The feeling in the middle.
Take a closer look, standing next to the entrance to the ruins, standing a stone monument.
On the stone tablet, there is such a line of words.
Atlas Institute.
"What!?"
Seeing this name, Matthew could not help but be surprised.

It’s actually Atlas!?

Even Luo really stunned his eyes wide open.
Because, this name, for the magicians, can be said that no one knows, no one knows.
If the communication at the Chaldeans can be maintained, and if Romans and others can see the scene here, then it will certainly be surprising.
The so-called Atlas Institute refers to one of the departments of the Magic Association.
The "Magician Association" is a self-defense group formed by people who learn magic, regardless of nationality and genre. It regards management, concealment, and development as missions, and in order to threaten oneself (church, magic groups other than themselves, and The strange existence of punishment for those who violated taboos) The protection of itself and the holding of force, and the holding of research institutions for the further development of the magic, and the enactment of laws to suppress magic crimes.
The three major departments that make up the Magic Association are three.
The first department is the clock tower.
It is regarded as the headquarters of the modern "Magic Society". It is located in the British Museum in London, England. Its history is about 2000. It was founded in the first year of the Western calendar. It is the latest research institution in the three major departments. Growth and development, and the Western European circle as a sphere of influence, 90% of Western European magicians will choose to join the clock tower, because it is full of new doctrine.
The association that the people of the Chaldeans have always referred to is actually the clock tower. At the fourth singular point of London, Luo Zhen also entered the destroyed clock tower, from which the clock tower was collected for two thousand years. The knowledge of the collection of books is very profitable.
The second department is Bohai.
It is a huge mountain range that lingers in the North Atlantic. It is also known as the "moving sarcophagus". There is no general relationship between the two sides of the organization. It is considered that unlike the clock tower, it is expected that the magic will develop further. It is regarded as the Magic Association. The prototype, which focuses on the study of human transformation and magic of the gods, is now largely out of touch with modern times.
The third department is Atlas.
It is the department of the Atlas Mountains that exists in Egypt and is known as the "Giant's Land".
The apprentices there are people who are not superior in the magic circuit. The research organization gathered for the alchemists who specialize in the development of alchemy is very thorough secrecy compared with the other two departments. Communication is said to be a living that even the light can't slip out.
That is to say, in the three departments of the Magic Association, except for the clock tower, the other two departments basically do not interact with the outside world.
The overall size of the three major departments is quite the same, but it has not been negotiated for a long time.
Bohai thinks that the magic of the gods is supreme. The magic after the Western Era is the same as the drama, so it is in a state of cold war with the clock tower.
The Atlas Institute concentrates on the development of alchemy, focusing on the transformation of events, and the material transformation of the modern alchemy of the clock tower is different, lacking mutual understanding.
There are also research topics between Bohai and Atlas.
Therefore, although the three departments are not hostile, the ideals of the three are different, and there is a considerable gap between them.
Today, Luo Zhen and Matthew saw the Atlas Academy.
Luo Zhen and Maxiton looked at each other.
Think carefully, Atlas's presence here, it seems that it is not a strange thing.
After all, Atlas is in the Atlas Mountains in Egypt.
However, here is the site of the Egyptian pharaoh.
So, is it possible to think that the emergence of Atlas is not accidental?
Luo Zhen and Matthew were silent.
