After closing the door of Smile's room, Lucien concentrated his mental energy and changed the structure and frequency of the weak mental mark on the owl Doro, making it disappear directly, because as soon as he left, Smile would definitely check it carefully.
Doro, in order to find the reason why it was being followed, Lucien did not want his unique mental power application skills to be discovered and cracked so quickly.
Still cautiously walking to the back door, Lucien used the "Silent Portal" and "Switch Technique" again, and quietly left the Copper Crown Tavern, then made a big circle before returning to his cabin.
Lying on the bed, Lucien actually felt a little relieved. In Alto, where the church is powerful, meeting fellow magic apprentices was like being in a violent storm. There were people working together to face it, so there was no need to walk alone: "
They are all magic apprentices. I wonder how many of Alto’s reclusive magicians are left?"
…………
In the next few days, Lucien lived a very regular life. He got up early in the morning, exercised and practiced swordsmanship for an hour, and then went to the library to work. Sometimes he read religious classics and travel notes, sometimes he read music theory knowledge, memorized fingering methods and knowledge.
Spectrums, sometimes analyzing spells, the structure of magic circles, etc. in the Soul Library.
Although Pierre was very wretched, when he fell into the world of music, he was a very quiet boy and would not disturb Lucien's study at all. However, Wolfe was invited to perform in a certain earl's territory during this time and did not come.
The library, other musicians, and Victor were neither friends, nor enemies. They didn't have time to embarrass Lucien, so Lucien lived a very leisurely life.
The only little regret I had was that I didn't get to see Ms. Sylvia, known as the "Lily of Music", a 24-year-old unmarried musician. Pierre admired her appearance very much and described her as...
She seemed to be a gentle and elegant goddess. Lucien had no desire to covet her. He was just infected by Pierre's fanatical attitude and felt very curious. Unfortunately, Sylvia was good at the harpsichord and appeared among many noble girls.
, Madam’s piano room, rarely comes to the Musicians Association.
In the afternoon, due to his good study results, Lucien's study time for words has been compressed to one hour. Then he read music and music theory like Lott and Phyllis. At four o'clock, he started
Two hours of piano playing practice, over and over again, the tenacity and stubbornness hidden in Lucien's heart were fully displayed in this matter. He would never stop until he was satisfied with the practice. When the practice was over, Lucien
Eun-cai lamented that playing the piano was such a physical job that he was covered in sweat and his arms and fingers were very sore.
At night, it is Lucien's time to study magic and study magic without being distracted by anything.
On Friday evening, when he went to Aunt Alisa's house for dinner, Lucien noticed that in an inconspicuous corner of the wall next door, someone had painted several simple shapes like a child.
"At ten o'clock on Saturday night, wait for me in front of the sixth abandoned house in the easternmost part of Adejan District. Owl."
"Owl" was Smyer's code name.
Lucien, who took a casual look and interpreted the content, walked into Aunt Alisa's house with his expression unchanged and his steps still steady.
…………
At nine-thirty the next night, the soft silver moon and the bright stars were covered by dark clouds, and the night was dark and depressing.
Lucien put on the hooded black robe, checked the location and quantity of the magic materials, put the "Ice Avenger" ring on his left index finger, and then carefully felt the surroundings before carefully going out and melting in
In the darkness of the night.
Blow by the humid, dull warm wind, Lucien spent twenty minutes walking to the easternmost part of the Aderjan District and found the abandoned house.
The hoot of an owl came, and Lucien hurriedly looked at the tall willow tree next to the house, and saw Smile, also wearing a black robe, standing in the shadow of the tree, but Smile had already put on his pocket.
The hat was lifted so that Lucien could recognize him, while Doro the owl stood leisurely on the willow tree, watching the surroundings and acting as a guard for the party inside.
"Mr. Professor, it is our honor for you to come to our party." Smail put on his hood to hide his face, his tone full of joy, "I have told other companions about you, and they
I am very happy and want to ask you for advice on some magic problems. Of course, we will pay for this kind of guidance."
"Magic problem? Haha, it seems they don't quite believe that I am an official 'magician'." Lucien said amusedly in his heart, although because the witch only translated one official magic, Lucien didn't know whether he was an official magician or not.
There is a big gap in knowledge, but I am sure that I am better than most magic apprentices in this aspect. It can be seen from the analysis of the "Ice Avenger" ring, "Okay, but I am better at astrology and elemental magic."
, If it’s a question about these two aspects, I think I should be able to answer it for you.”
Hearing Lucien speak so confidently, Smile became more certain of his official identity as a magician: "Mr. Professor, please come with me."
The black robe was very difficult to distinguish in the night, but the abandoned house was only a dozen steps away, and Lucien easily followed Smile to the door.
Dong dong, dong dong dong, dong, dong... Smile knocked on the wooden door with a strange rhythm, and then hooted twice like an owl.
After waiting for five seconds, the wooden door slowly opened, and a man in the same black robe stood in the dilapidated house: "Owl, is this Mr. Professor?"
His voice was hoarse and hoarse, and it sounded like it had been deliberately changed.
"Yes." Smile replied briefly in the same low voice, "Mr. Professor, this is the Fire Wolf."
Lucien's hooded head nodded slightly: "Hello." His left hand was hidden in his sleeve, and the Ice Avenger was ready to go.
After entering the small living room of the house, you pass through a door and reach the storage room. There is a staircase going down.
"Basement!" Lucien suddenly realized, why did he insist on building a magic laboratory in the sewer? Obviously he can build a small basement by himself, and there is not only sewer below the ground.
At that time, you can completely conduct magic experiments and spell-casting exercises in the basement that are quiet and have low magic fluctuations. For those that are very noisy, you can find a remote place in the Melzer Black Forest and build a complete
In the underground laboratory, we conduct experiments once a week.
The basement is not big. There are eleven low stools, and a long table is surrounded in the middle. Two candles are lit on it. The yellowish flames are swaying, reflecting the eight magic apprentices in black robes and black hoods.
Eerie.
After Lucien walked down cautiously and on high alert, Fire Wolf and Smile closed the entrance to the basement, followed them, and sat down on the empty low bench.
Smile stood up and glanced at all the magic apprentices: "Everyone, this is Mr. Professor, a formal magician with profound knowledge and powerful strength."
Then he introduced these magic apprentices to Lucien: "This is white honey, morning star, reindeer, white gloves, oak tree, sage, mercury, and hanged man."
Lucien nodded: "Nice to meet you all. Before we start, could you let me take a look at the "Arcana"?"
The sage replied with an old voice: "No problem, Mr. Professor, you can look at it as you like, and we will communicate with each other first. By the way, I have brought you a set of magic experiment utensils that you need. If you can give me some guidance on a magic question later,
, then this set of magic experimental vessels belongs to you, if not, then thirty silver Naels are needed."
As he spoke, he handed a book with a dark black hard cover to Lucien.
Lucien received it and did not open it immediately, but looked at the cover carefully.
There are countless bright silver-white lines in the deep black that makes people's eyes seem to be sucked in. They form two common language words "Arcane" and a few finger-sized words: "Sacred Calendar Year 790 Issue 11", simple
There is a deep mystery in it, and the inner text is made of parchment.
Opening the catalog, Lucien saw that there were twenty-four articles on it, the first of which was: "Discussions on Several Issues Concerning the Failure of the Fifth Planet Search". His heart moved and he turned over directly:
"The theory of gravity established by Mr. Douglas can perfectly explain the structural principles of many force field magics and even most astrological magics. And through this theory, we have created many new and powerful magics, which are the two towering palaces of the classic magic system.
One of the main foundations of the medium force field system."
"With the help of the theory of gravity, we have summarized the three laws of planetary motion from the chaotic laws of astrological changes, which have significant guiding significance for 'astrology', 'stargazing' and other prophetic magic."
…
"But there is a very important issue in Mr. Douglas's gravity theory that has not been confirmed. From the gravity theory, we can deduce its formula and know that the continent we are on is also on a planet. It is rotating on its own and orbiting the sun.
Rotate, and the planets in the sky are also making similar movements. According to the formula of gravity and the law of planetary motion, we can accurately calculate the positions of these planets."
"However, when I positioned myself accurately and used the space jump magic that I had prepared for a long time to reach the position I calculated, I could not see any planet, nor could I see the continent we are on."
"Why is this? The planet that should be waiting for me there, emitting gravity, seems to have never existed. At that location, I can feel the gravity just like on land: but it is a gravity that is so weird that it cannot be measured.
Where are those planets?"
…………
When Lucien knew that the stars in the sky still represented destiny, he knew that the planets in this world were weird, but he didn't expect them to be so weird.
