Chapter 3 Alinge (3050 plus change for monthly pass)
Many of the magical theories of the ancient Magic Empire have long been overturned by the rapid development of arcane research, and many meditation methods have not kept up with the times, but unique magic is still widely welcomed by magicians today. Every time you explore a ruin, in addition to magic items and materials, the most important thing you want is unique magic, magic arrays, and magic rituals, because the only measure of magic is whether it works well or not.
At this point, the ancient unique magic that simulates the structure of magical creatures and improves it, whether it is magical and unpredictable, or powerful, most of them are not inferior to the current similar magic, and the difference may be that it used to be seven or eight rings of magic, but now through arcane research, its essence and laws have been found, the structure has been improved, the learning requirements have been reduced, and it has become four or five rings of magic.
Of course, the unique magic can also inspire the Arcanists. Many of the Magic Council's arcane achievements were discovered through research on unique magic, so the Council has never been stingy with Arcane Points and Arcane Points rewards for the submission of unique magic.
But the unique magic on "Astrology and Elements" has only started from the third ring, and Lucien has not yet learned and analyzed, so it is difficult to pick out a few less important submissions in a short period of time, and what can be decided at present is a few magic created or improved by himself.
One of the rings of magic to charm humans (mage version) and charm humans (knight version) is one of Lucian's current hole cards, before the magic council put forward the concept of brainwaves and human hormones, Lucian did not plan to hand over the elders, maybe in the future he will "use" these two magic to create an exploration of this field, and slowly become an authority on similar research in the illusion and necromancy?
If the professor's hand of resonance is handed over, combined with the matter of Aalto, he will basically confirm his identity as a "professor", Lucien plans to wait until there is a magic level of the five rings to submit a paper to discuss the problem of resonance, and if the artificial cooperation of "urea" is not preempted, it is estimated that it will have to wait until that time to avoid attracting the double blow of the necromantic faction magician and the church without the corresponding self-protection ability.
It's no better than Earth. The scientists are ineffective, and Lucien has learned more than a dozen cases of violent resolution of academic disputes in the Magical Council. Sometimes. It's not that the Arcanists are narrow-sighted, but they're able to go so far as they can't change their ideas until there are strong facts to prove it. And they are not gods, they all have their own joys, sorrows, and sorrows, so the argument is fierce. If you don't hold back, it may lead to a tragedy.
As far as Astar knows, the Council of Magic now has a lot of discussion in small anti-magic circles.
Unless forced to do as much as you can, this is the conclusion that Lucien has come to after experiencing so many dangers.
"Do you want to submit 'Scream of the Bat'. Lucien tapped his right index finger lightly on the table in front of him, weighing the pros and cons, as if lost in thought.
Lazar didn't continue the conversation, just smiled and gave Lucien a deep look. Whether or not they can change their concept and integrate into the Magic Council is everyone's own business, and others really can't interfere.
The shrill whistle sounded again, and the magic steam train slowed down until it stopped at a gloomy and gray platform with more than a dozen men in classical black magic robes walking towards the door between the two carriages, either empty-handed or with suitcases.
"It's those damn necrophiles again. The most unbearable part of this route is through the city of 'Heideler'. Lazar grumbled in a low voice, annoying and a little intimidating.
"'Heidler'?" Lucien looked out the window suspiciously, surprised to see a crack faintly visible beyond the haze.
This is because of the constant ability of the "Corona of the Sun" to see the entrance to the necromantic realm!
Such cracks, when traveling on the mainland, Lucien only found five or six, and he didn't expect to find another one just after resisting the Kingdom of Holm. The presence of necromancers here immediately made it somewhat clear.
Lazar continued to keep his voice low: "Not long after the Arcane Council was founded, these damned necrophiles discovered that the city of 'Heidler' was filled with a strong force of death, so they moved the headquarters of the 'Pale Hand' here. If you travel to the city of 'Heidler', you will find that there are more undead than living people, and there are even a few new varieties with intelligence that can help farmers grow oats and blacksmiths forge steel ......"
"It's funny. Lucien's answer choked Lazar.
As the other approached, the sickly-looking man in a black trench coat led by the necromancer made both of them stunned at the same time.
Felipe wore a black top hat and habitually put his hands in the pockets of his black trench coat, and looked casually at the entrance of the two carriages.
Lazar hurriedly stood up and saluted: "Good afternoon, Mr. Felipe." ”
The Council of Magic discarded many of the bad habits of the ancient Magic Empire, such as the personal attachment of apprentices, but the respect for the learned and the powerful was in the same vein. Therefore, although Lazar is a magician of the elemental will, he has to show his respect in the face of Felipe, who crushes him in both arcane and magic levels.
Felipe just glanced at it casually, not even caring which organization Lazar was a magician, nodded slightly, and turned to walk to the carriage in front.
"Mr. Lazar, who is this gentleman? Heidi, who sat in the soft chair behind Lucian, half-knelt in her chair and looked adoringly at the door of the other carriage where Felipe's back had disappeared.
Seeing that Felipe didn't feel anything strange about himself at all, Lucien quietly exhaled and looked at Lazar with the same curious gaze as the other apprentices.
Lazar's bright smile had disappeared, and he said with a little bitterness: "This is Mr. Felipe, a magician of the necromancer organization 'Pale Hand', a genius similar to Mr. Ulysses, Larry, and Timothy that I mentioned to Evans before, a fourth-level arcanist, and a five-ring necromancer. Felipe was in the next compartment, and he subconsciously used honorifics.
"Mr. Felipe, I've heard of him, the one who forced his way through the church's blockade?" Sprint said excitedly as if he had seen the object of his worship, "and it's really cool that you don't have to be a high-level magician to go to the church's purification sequence!"
The apprentices in the carriage were all looking at the other side of the carriage with excited eyes, although they could not see anything, but this was a living person with a "legendary experience".
"We have a similar gentleman in the Elemental Will, and he is called 'The Professor', and the rank of the purification sequence is only one place lower than that of Mr. Felipe. "Lazar struggles to maintain the image of the will of the elements.
Lucien heard Lazar's answer. pondered: "Zhilu Dao 'Professor' is very simple about the Elemental Will on the list of purification sequences, but how can I be sure that I am the person of the Elemental Will?"
Thinking of this, Lucien asked, "I heard Mr. Astar mention the 'professor' on the purification sequence. But is he of the Elemental Will?"
"Of course, Mr. Felipe seems to have had contact and conflict with Mr. Professor, and after returning this time, he was a magician who secretly investigated our elemental will several times, only to be discovered by Director Gaston and almost killed. It's a big deal. is the latest news from the Parliament. Lazar glanced back at the other carriage and whispered, "Many arcanists who know Mr. Felipe think that he has become more calm since he came back this time. No longer as arrogant and proud as before, and the gods seem to be doing some kind of experiment. ”
"It seems that Felipe is the one who testifies that I am the elemental will, but he has not divulged the artificial synthesis of urea, otherwise the recent news would not have been his turn to be almost killed by a high-level magician, and all the gentlemen who study necromancy and elemental magic will be boiling. Lucien thought quietly, "Felipe is trying to synthesize other living matter, but his strength is even more terrifying than I thought, and he can escape from the hands of a high-level magician......
Katrina seems to have some interest in the mysterious "professor". Lucien asked what he wanted to ask, "Mr. Lazar, which of the Elemental Will is the professor?"
"Mr. Professor's existence was confirmed by His Excellency the Grand Arcanist Hathaway, but she didn't mention who it was. Lazar himself doesn't know very well.
Lucien was immediately embarrassed, this is the rhythm that has been debunked?After the directors of the Elemental Will discussed with each other, they would definitely find that their organization did not have a professor. Although it is not excluded that good deeds are not named. But there is no need for most people to hide this kind of thing, after all, they have the strength and backstage, and it is normal to stand up and get the glory they deserve.
So they will probably try to ask the bigwigs behind the scenes, and for Hathaway, who is following Natasha, the time and place of the "Professor" may well have said it all. But it looks like she's covered up for some special reason.
As a result of this discussion, the apprentices' inhibitions disappeared and the carriage became lively, either listening to Lucien and Lazar talking about the Magical Council, or discussing what they saw along the way.
In the lively atmosphere, time passed quickly, and Annick happened to look out the window, and his mouth opened wide in surprise: "Fly, fly!"
Having become more calm under Lucian's tutelage, he could hardly hide his shock.
Lucien looked out the window under Lazar's amused gaze, only to find that the rails had detached from the ground, floating in mid-air, stretching upwards, while the magical steam train was still running on the tracks.
The forests, fields, estates, and cities below are getting smaller and smaller, like ants.
"Anti-gravitational field, the railroad tracks near Alinge have an anti-gravitational field. Seeing Lucien turn around, Lazar answered without waiting for him to ask, "But it can only be arranged near Alinge, otherwise the Magic Council will go bankrupt......"
The apprentices crowded to the window, watching the train speed in the blue sky and white clouds, a black dot in front of them became bigger and bigger, and gradually became clear, it turned out to be a giant city floating in the air!
It is a mountain peak with its head cut off at the bottom, and it floats on the ground with its head down and cross-section. There are gardens, woods, streets, countless ordinary buildings, and many magical spires of different styles, about half the size of Alto.
This is the headquarters of the Magic Council, the city of Aringe in the sky!
"Wow!"
"It's spectacular!"
............
Amid the admiration of the apprentices, Lazar smiled and said, "You will have the opportunity to appreciate it in the future, but now you need to consider the assessment after you arrive at the council headquarters." The Council will assign you to the appropriate magical school according to your arcane skills and inclinations. ”
"What, and the assessment?!" Heidi, who was frightened by the exercises, almost screamed, and the other magic apprentices also looked bad, so they quickly sat back in the soft chair, took out one book after another to review, and complained that Mr. Lazar didn't say it earlier!
Sprint and Katrina were calmer, shaking their heads at Heidi and said, "What's there to be afraid of in the assessment? You have been studying the arcane for more than a month." ”
"I'm going to review, I'm going to review......" Heidi muttered to herself, pulling out her books, completely ignoring them.
The Enchanted Steam Train slowed down and slowly stopped at a platform on the edge of Alinge.
At this time, two beautiful girls wearing light blue dress walked in with a hard-shell notebook and said respectfully to Lucian and Lazar: "Distinguished guests, please leave your evaluation of this train." If there are any shortcomings, please be sure to point them out, so that we can collect suggestions for improvement. "It's still the stage where the magic steam train is not fully operational.
Lucien took the hard-shell notebook and quill, thought for a moment, wrote two words in a dashing manner, and handed them to Lazar.
Lazar looked curiously at Lucian's assessment, and as a result, his expression became slightly dazed.
On the white piece of paper was written:
"Praise!" (To be continued.) )
