Chapter 136: Lucian's Magic Tower
A few days later.
The silver-gray tower goes straight into the sky, the whole body is smooth lines, flashing with a cold metallic luster, more inexplicable than most high-level slightly gloomy mage towers, and it seems to be quite harmonious with the vast starry sky, which is obviously different from all current architectural styles.
"A great musician, the Tower of Magic also has a bit of art and fantasy. A few years have passed, and Roque, who is already a three-ring magician, is still the same.
As an arcane master who is good at astrology, it is inevitable that the magic tower should be built a little higher as an astrological platform, but this shape and color are strange among the many unique magic towers in Alinge, and it doesn't seem to match Lucian's quiet and calm temperament, but the thought that he is a musician, the magician who was invited to the banquet was relieved.
Louise, who had a delicate appearance, admired this magic tower very much, at least closer to her aesthetic than the black tower and the gloomy castle, so she smiled and said: "Mr. Evans, you also seem to be quite good at architectural design, and you must give me advice when I renovate the garden villa one day." β
Whether a musician or a magician, Lucien can be regarded as her "senior", even if Lucien has always said that she does not need to be so polite, she still calls Mr. Evans meticulously, and after becoming a famous radio anchor "Nightingale", she is not short of money in the second ring wizard stage, so she did not treat herself badly and bought a garden villa in the city of Alinge, where every inch of land is expensive.
"I don't know if you gave this magic tower a name, Evans?" Samantha asked with an indifferent expression, as if casually. Normally, no mage would sit idle to name a demon court unless it was a place like creating a half-plane or council headquarters, but artists were the exception.
Lucien smiled and stepped up the steps: "Anyway, I call it 'the Tower of Babel'." β
"Babel......" Lazar, Heather and others repeated the pronunciation in confusion, unable to find a matching word.
K wanted to ask, but Lucien smiled and said nothing, and immediately understood that he didn't want to reveal a little secret that should belong to him.
"Welcome back, my host, welcome. Ladies and gentlemen, I am the brave, faithful, and honest Pinocchio. The crisp voice of alchemy life sounded.
Lucien pointed to the silver-gray metal door that slowly opened, "This is Taling 'Pinocchio'. β
Lazar and the others, who still didn't understand the meaning of the name, smiled and shook their heads, greeted Pinocchio one by one, and then entered the hall and saw a metal statue in the shape of a wheel in the center of the hall.
"This is the 'wheel of history'. Lucien introduced the statue with a wicked taste.
There is no difference between this humor and the world. Roque was the first to laugh, "Lucian, you are really ambitious. However, how could a future Grand Arcanist who could come up with a new alchemy not have ambition and confidence. Whether it is the Church of the North or the Church of the South, they will all be crushed by the wheel of history!"
"History is tortuous and iterative. But it will move forward. Lucien changed the description, and said in a relaxed mood, with this magic tower, he can be regarded as the first real home in the otherworldly world. Here, his own magic tower is enough to defend against the attack of a nine-ring.
Samantha bowed her head slightly: "Evans, you are more sober than I thought, I thought that you would become a little proud after you proposed a new alchemy and led the magician to really come into contact with the mysteries of matter." β
At this time, although the special supplement to the Arcane journal, New Alchemy, had not yet been released, Samantha and other magicians with a strong background had already read this "time-changing" tome.
After reading it, Samantha, Rachel, Larry, Ulysses and others admired and frustrated from the bottom of their hearts, they used to regard Lucian as a difficult opponent to catch up with in the same generation of magicians, and admired him while still taking him as a goal and as a driving force to move forward, but as soon as "New Alchemy" came out, they suddenly understood that Lucian was no longer on the same level as them, he belonged to the level of legendary magicians such as Douglas, Brooke, Hathaway, and Klaus, and they didn't even let them see their backs.
This made them feel powerless and depressed for a while.
"To despise one's own enemy is to despise one's own life. Lucien glanced at Samantha and smiled, "And I'm not as genius as you think, I said a long time ago that the atomic realm is a completely new realm, and any discovery here may be related to the mysteries of matter." In this field, there is no authority for the time being, there is no difference in magical strength, as long as the experimental conditions are enough, you can get amazing discoveries, and I am just you who are one step ahead, you may not be able to catch up, young and unconservative is capital. β
Samantha looked at Lucian's deep and calm eyes, sensing his seriousness, not polite modesty, so she smiled: "It's a pity that I'm not good at the elemental realm. β
Larry, K, Lazar and the others nodded thoughtfully, in the past, listening to Lucien say this, there was still a taste of encouragement, but now, "New Alchemy" has been placed in front of him, this is indeed a realm that belongs to the "gods"!
Lucien pointed to the sky: "The macrocosm of the world is equally important. β
"Teacher, can you take a look at your lab?" asked Heidi curiously before Samantha could reply.
Lucien did not refuse, and led them to the basement level by elevator, passing through the backup energy room, the restraint room, and the underground magic garden, and arrived at the vast laboratory.
Most of the magic arrays and alchemy devices have been seen by everyone, but in the center of the laboratory, the two relatively silver semicircular metal boxes placed in the strong magnetic vacuum magic array made them a little confused.
And these two metal boxes engraved with magic patterns seem to have a similar shape to the entire magic tower, and they also exude an inexplicable smell.
"This is an electromagnetic cyclotron...... If you want to build, you can redeem the design I submitted. Lucien probably explained the principle, tempting them without a trace.
Although this magic tower, which was far over the budget, had a special tilt from the council, and many of the high-grade materials were cheap to medium-sized, Lucien still spent all his savings for three years along with the rewards of alchemy. It will be much easier to level up the Tower in the future, and it is currently in need of Arcane Points.
This made Lucien have to sigh that he was promoted too quickly, even if there are many money-making projects and many arcane point rewards, there is still a gap compared with those high-level magicians who have lived for hundreds of years, especially his own magic tower is the best to use everything, and there are arrangements that exceed ordinary high-level and current needs.
"What is this?" asked Larry, looking at the electromagnetic cyclotron with emotion, and then pointing to the sealed box connected to the transmitter, which seemed to be a number of magic arrays in the thermal field.
Lucien pointed to the observation device and the recording magic array above: "This is the auxiliary alchemy device I designed. It's called Cloud Room. β
"Cloud room?" K's honest face showed obvious doubt.
Lucien smiled and said, "After opening the alchemy device." Saturated steam will appear inside, and as long as there are charged particles passing through, ionization will occur, and liquid beads will be condensed with the trajectory of the charged particles as the core. And so a distinct mark is formed. Help us observe and record particle trajectories. β
"Why didn't I think of this!" Ulysses, who was also good at heat, slapped himself the back of his left hand. The fact that the particles are too small for their trajectories to be clearly observed and recorded is a big problem in the field of atoms, and many magicians are working on similar magnification devices. But Lucien simply used the properties of supersaturated steam to solve the problem.
Louise and Heidi said at the same time, "Can you take a look?"
Lucien nodded, turned on the alchemy device, turned on the electromagnetic cyclotron, and then asked them to observe the situation inside through the magic array.
The space was bleak as if there was nothing, and suddenly, the white air flow appeared out of thin air as if the fog droplets were condensed, and the trajectory was wonderful, and under the strong contrast, it was shockingly beautiful.
There was no sound in the lab.
............
After visiting the laboratory, Lucien led them into the banquet hall, and when the high-ranking magicians such as Lavendi, Gaston, and Isabella arrived, they officially held a celebratory banquet.
In a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere, Lucien played seven or eight piano pieces in a row, and also played two violin melodies, which feasted the guests' ears.
After the prelude to the banquet, everyone began to talk casually, and Lucien looked at the full room, and suddenly felt an inexplicable loneliness, and some missed Aalto's friends.
Finding an opportunity, Lucien slipped out onto the balcony and turned on the electromagnetic teleportation technique.
"Good evening, and congratulations on the completion of your magic tower. Natasha's smiling voice came not long after Lucien opened.
Lucien also smiled: "Good afternoon, the banquet is being celebrated." β
"It's a pity that I can't participate, I can only say congratulations, hehe, fallen angels, His Majesty the Pope is really creative. "After talking to Lucien for a long time, Natasha has learned a lot of new vocabulary.
Lucien said solemnly: "I am only studying the particles in the microscopic realm, and I have no other purpose, but does this result mean that the God of Truth has given authority to all things themselves after the creation of the world, and is only responsible for spiritual sustenance?"
For the sake of a better future, Lucien has been slowly changing Natasha's religious outlook.
"So, you mean, God is a lie in our hearts and the church?" Natasha didn't seem to care too much about the authenticity, and as long as Lucien didn't really say blasphemous words, she wouldn't become serious.
Lucien said without hesitation, "Of course, you think that Lady Meredith is also evil?"
Natasha chuckled, "Well, that's not the point, the point is that after mentioning that you are a fallen angel, I suddenly want to see you dressed as an angel in the opera, preferably with a pair of wings." β
"I remember angels were dressed in unisex ......" Lucien punctured her little thoughts.
Natasha laughed weakly, "By the way, why is the quality of my call with Granny Hathaway so good now?"
"Because there are still many problems to be solved on the communication planet, Speaker Douglas has been deeply troubled for several years. "So the plan for the constellation of artificial planets is far behind the projections.
Natasha snorted: "Then the quality of our calls...... Feeling, do you know what's wrong?"
"Hey, hey. Lucien smiled and didn't answer.
Natasha also didn't ask, but sighed: "That mysterious space has appeared, and my teacher has been recruited there by His Majesty the Pope. As soon as I thought of the legendary battlefield, my blood boiled, but unfortunately I didn't have the strength to join, but His Majesty the Pope also issued an order to ask the nobles of the Heavenly Knight and above to prepare, once there is anything strange in the mysterious space, we will add it after leaving enough defense. β
"If that comes the day, I will lead them in as the commander of the nobles of Vaorit. β
At this time, either the Grand Duke or her, one person must come forward, otherwise it will not be able to convince the public.
"Actually, I want to check it out too. Lucien was implicitly concerned.
Natasha Haluha laughed and said, "You better forget it, no one in the legend has a grudge against me, and the Holy Spirit priests and epic knights of the church will attack you as soon as they see you, you will really get into trouble!"
After a few small talks, it was impossible for Lucien, as the host, to snub the guests, so he asked John about their condition and took the initiative to stop the conversation. As soon as he turned around, he saw Samantha looking at him from afar, holding steamed fish in her handβLucian's improved food, which was eagerly loved by his guests.
"I can't hear what you're saying, but the look on your face tells me that you're not the kind of person who studies arcane and magic to the point of being dull. That girl was so happy. Samantha walked over, sighed a little lost, and then turned away without hesitation.
In the Magic Council, the proportion of single magicians is higher than that of the general group, but marriage is still the mainstream, but some magicians live for a long time, and the previous wives are dead, and they themselves have lost their desire due to transformation into lichs, etc., so as to return to singleness, and there are not many husbands and wives who are strong, and the Grand Arcanist is the group with the lowest proportion of marriages, Douglas is single, Fernando is single, Hathaway is single, Helen is single, Lady Vicente dies early (rumored to be dreaming of resurrecting his wife, the real resurrection), Lady Brooke is assassinated in the church, and only Oliver is happy.

Plateau of the Night, underground caves.
The Great Elder Augustus was concentrating on praying to the god of steam, and as the years passed, the night plateau became more and more dangerous, and he did not know when he would be able to be guided. (To be continued......)
