Chapter 0964: Banishing the Mist
"The Great Arcanist" was undoubtedly Liszt's brainchild, and he felt that the absence of magazines and newspapers in this world was a bit of an entertainment shortage.
But running a newspaper or anything is not interesting, because he doesn't need to read the newspaper to know everything that is happening in his territory. With the repeated improvements of the Magic Guild to the Magic Table, it has now entered the Magic Platform 5.0 era, which is miniaturized, standardized, confidential, and simplified.
You can receive news from all over the territory anytime and anywhere, and then there is a special servant to sort out the message and send it to his desk.
Therefore, there are no newspapers, but there are internal references, which are basically used for internal circulation among officials and nobles.
However, with the increasing popularity of blank paper, the territory publishing industry began to flourish, and with the conscious reform of the magician system, he motioned for the Magic Guild to publish "The Great Arcanist", a journal focusing on academics, so that the territory magicians could start from honor and make more inventions.
Lucy stays behind in every issue of The Great Arcanist, and she hopes to one day be featured on the cover of the journal herself.
She was reading a report about Gundorf Truth.
This great magician Gundorf came from the Principality of Chrysoberyl, a vassal of the Eagle Kingdom, and when he came, he not only came alone, but also brought eleven magician apprentices and a large number of magic apprentices. Unlike the usual self-cherished and withdrawn magicians, Gundorf liked to teach magic.
After learning that the Grand Duchy of Sapphire had given birth to a magician, Gundorf took his disciples and grandchildren all the way to Sapphire for a pilgrimage.
And after visiting the Magic Guild, he immediately decided to stay here and join the guild.
He is now a member of the Arcanist Assessment Committee, and with the invention of the Magic Two-Wheeled Bike, he has been promoted from ordinary Arcanist to Arcane Master, becoming the sixth Arcane Master of the Magic Guild.
"I have a great interest in dynamics, and I have been working on it for many years, and when I came to His Highness's domain, I discovered the wheelbarrow, and I couldn't help but be amazed by His Highness's invention, which can be said to benefit the country and ......the people compared to the horse-drawn carriage," said Gundorf in an interview with the editor of The Great Arcanist.
Since then, he has developed a soft spot for unicycles and decided to improve them to be more convenient.
One day, while he was in the plantation, he saw a serf running over with a battered wheelbarrow, which was almost one wheel.
So when the serf pushes up, he can put his body on the handlebar and let the wheelbarrow run on its own.
This quickly inspired Gundorf, who thought, "Why don't I have a wheelbarrow that can be pushed by my feet, since a wheelbarrow can be pushed by my hands?"
But it's not easy to push a wheelbarrow with your feet.
But Liszt's glory favored every arcanist who was willing to think, and Gundorf was inspired when he saw the serfs drawing water from a well. He invented a unicycle that could be pedaled, but soon discovered that the unicycle was not easy to balance.
So a wheel was added.
It becomes a two-wheeler, also known as a bicycle - unlike the earth bike, this bicycle has a large front wheel, the pedals are directly connected to the wheel, and the rear wheel is small and only serves as a stabilizing effect.
Then Gundorf made persistent efforts and set up a magic circle for the bicycle, so that the bicycle could activate the magic array to run on its own.
And so the Magic Twin Wheels was born.
"It's a great invention, and hopefully I'll be able to invent something like the Magic Two-Wheeled Bike. After reading the report, Lucy praised enviously.
Ruth, who was mopping the floor, said disdainfully without raising her head: "What's so great about that, when I research a bicycle that flies in the sky one day, it will be called great!"
......
"Brother, you're here. β
"Hmm. β
"Arker has just finished stripping Andy the Lich from his soul, and several archmages are dealing with the trivial matters of Andy the Lich. Ark pointed to the glass cubicles in the laboratory, where several great magicians were busy collecting data and information, among them was Ken Li, the vice president of the Magic Guild.
Unlike Chrissy, who is mainly administrative, Kenley is very obsessed with magical experiments, and often comes to Aker's experiments to help and gain experience.
The trivial matters were quickly completed, Andy the Lich was pushed out of the glass compartment, and the Grand Magicians saluted Liszt: "Your Highness." β
"No need to be polite. Liszt walked over to the stretcher, looked at the dying, shriveled humanoid creature lying on the stretcher, almost the shape of the Lord of the Rings Gollum, and asked, "Is this Andy the Lich?"
"Stripped of the Marks of Fear and the Dragon's Soul, the Lich Andy has recovered his human body, but his body is on the verge of collapse due to the erosion of soul power, and he will not live for a few days. Arker explained, pointing to the transparent jar held by another great magician, "The dragon soul of the sapphire dragon is heavily polluted, and it will need to be purified for a period of time. β
The jar is a kind of soul vessel made by Ake, and the container is filled with a special liquid, a faint blue transparent sapphire dragon-shaped shadow, swimming in the liquid.
"This is the soul of a dragon?"
"Well, there's still a scar of fear over there. β
The Trace of Dread is a piece of armor, magical armor, and unlike normal armor, this armor is silvery-white on the outside, but it is a pitch-black material on the inside. It is similar to the material of the sapphire dragon head that Liszt removed from the ghost ship.
A great magician knew the material: "Obsidian, a gemstone associated mineral formed by an old dragon, is very rare, but it is not known what it does. β
Dragons over 800 years old are old dragons, and at this time, dragons will leave their place of residence and fly towards the legendary Dragon Valley. No one can track down the old dragon to find the Dragon Nest, and some even speculate that the Dragon Nest does not exist, and the old dragon just doesn't want to die in front of humans.
"Obsidian ......" Liszt picked up the trace of fear and started to be cold, not physically cold, but cold deep into the soul, "It doesn't seem to be a stone, but like metal?"
"Obsidian is metal-like and crystal-like, it's very strange. β
"So what is the use of this armor other than transforming the Lich?"
"Let's use the ancient book of knowledge to identify it. Before she could study the scars of fear, she took out the Ancient Book of Knowledge, and soon with a flash of light, the words of the language of the month appeared in the bookβobsidian, mythril, elven blood, and the fog of exile.
The material is clear, but the final feature "Isolation from the Mists of Exile" is somewhat unclear.
But Ark quickly guessed: "Could it be some kind of fog used by the lich to isolate the Exile Lands, according to the introduction of the Exile Lands in the available information, this land where reality and illusion meet, once the soul enters, it will sink, and it is likely that the Trace of Fear can rely on the expulsion of the Fog of Exile to keep the soul awake." β
"Possibly, it's a good artifact, and it needs to be put away. β
Andy the Lich's soul-stripping experiment was completed, and Andy, who was like Gollum, was taken by the archmages to study his soul. The dragon soul of the sapphire dragon needs to be purified, and it is also an excellent research material, so stay in Ake's laboratory - there is no rush to treat the sapphire dragon, after all, Archduke Andrew is not dead.
At this moment, Ake had accumulated enough experience to strip Liszt of the little malice that remained of the phoenix.
