Chapter 117: A Year Later
A year later, in the month of fire (829), an alchemical laboratory in the Tower of Babel.
On the walls, ceilings, and floors, magic patterns of different colors bloomed brightly or dimly, forming a complex magic array that extended into the void, completely enveloping the entire alchemy laboratory, preventing the slightest interference from the outside from coming in, and also eliminating bursts of brilliant and dazzling light.
The "Grand Arcanist's Robe" on Lucian's body is still in the shape of a long black dress, not in the style of the ancient magic empire, it swells slightly, and with the invisible wind constantly shaking, isolating the most harmful things from Lucian's body, and around it, the cognitive world world interferes with reality, forming an elemental light point and a vision of the vast starry sky, constantly devouring and merging the tangible and intangible things transmitted from the outside world.
Although caution is Lucien's "usual attitude" when conducting magic or alchemy experiments, there has never been a time when he has been so cautious as now, and Gain's previous problems with the blood, flesh, bones, and wings of Danisus, the "Dragon of Time and Radiance", caused the "Moontimer" not only failed to advance, but was damaged, and he also suffered a lot of injuries, and it took half a year to recover.
This time, Lucien was sure that he would not be harmed, and the "Moon Timepiece" would not be hit hard, but he did not dare to guarantee that he would be able to upgrade it to a fourth-level legendary item, making thirteen legendary pinnacle items fourteen, and most importantly, the "Ancient Time Dragon" Danisus was not killed by the "Silver Moon", and the materials he could obtain were limited. If you fail again this time, you'll have to find another Space-Time Legendary item.
Lucien didn't think about instigating the "Silver Moon" to keep the "Ancient Time Dragon" in captivity, and provide a steady stream of space-time materials like a beef cattle, because in order for his blood, flesh, bones, and wings to meet the standards of legendary materials, he would have to integrate his soul and life essence at least one-third, and even if he could recover, it would be an unusually long process.
As far as Lucien knows, after being wounded by the "Silver Moon" and stripped of part of his body, "The Dragon of Time and Radiance" Danissos has not regained the strength of the legendary peak until now, and may have to recuperate for a few years. If he wants to be restored to his intact state. It will take at least two or three hundred years.
Because of this, Lucien was so cautious about this alchemy experiment to improve the "moon timepiece", and even Natasha did not have permission to enter the laboratory - her "destructive power" to the laboratory had already made Lucien have to pay attention.
On the "alchemy platform", the clear blood like grains of rice was manipulated with Lucian's spiritual power. A strange magic circle is carved on a "stone tablet" made of special materials.
It's very complicated at first glance. The magicians below the legend are just witnessing. They will be dizzy, their mental strength will pass rapidly, and they will fall into a state of nausea and headache. But if you have enough spiritual power and look closely, you will find that this magic array contains the most essential and simple "mysteries", which makes every complicated part easily decompose into the most simple patterns - patterns combined with unique laws.
It's like no matter how complicated a word is, it's made up of those letters after all, and as long as you understand the rules between them, you can easily remember the word.
Lucien painted very slowly, with the body of a great knight, there was sweat on his forehead, but this was the highest-grade alchemy laboratory, and the sweat dissipated and decomposed on its own before it was formed.
After a long time, Lucien completed the last line, and suddenly, the magic array shook slightly, and the entire alchemy laboratory also shook, as if there were inexplicable fluctuations in time and space.
When everything subsided, Lucien disposed of the remaining wings and pieces of flesh separately and placed them on top of the four tips of the magic circle.
Then, the silver-white and exquisite "moon timepiece" flew out of Lucian's arms and landed in the center of the magic circle, glowing with silver scales like water and time.
Under the influence of this, the lines of the magic circle seemed to come to life, twisting and climbing up to the "moon timepiece", connected to its hour, minute, and second hands, and connected to its jeweled constellation symbols (time signs).
During this process, Lucien's eyes did not blink, and he concentrated on sensing the docking, and everything that did not meet the precise range was carefully adjusted with mental power, and adjusted before the docking was completed.
Whew, Lucien exhaled lightly, looking at the magic array that seemed to extend from the "moon timepiece" instead of being engraved in advance, his heart was half relaxed, the first two steps were done, and the back was more grasped, the previous failure was that the first two steps each had a small error that did not affect their own results and was not discovered by themselves, but they were superimposed and produced terrible results.
Condensing his spirit again, Lucien opened the alchemy platform, and suddenly, the energy of the entire magic tower frantically surged towards the magic array in the center, making it completely shrouded in silver-white light, and a thin "mist" rose from it.
Its energy extraction was so exaggerated that the crystal lamps of the entire magic tower were extinguished, and the outer defenses naturally collapsed, and Pinocchio "Taling" had to turn on the backup energy pool.
A minute later, the spare energy was also used up, but the silver-white light seemed to be almost getting into the "moon timepiece", at this time, Lucian's right hand stretched out, pressed it on the alchemy platform, and directly poured his majestic spiritual power into it with the help of his body as a medium.
Suddenly, a brilliant but undazzling light erupted, filling the entire alchemy laboratory.
Tick Tick Tick ...... All the clocks hanging in the magic tower turned their hands quickly, as if they were in a race, and Natasha, who was practicing swords against the elemental planet in the "atomic universe", suddenly felt the rapid passage of time, as if she was inevitably coming to the end.
"Succeeded?" Natasha raised her head, her beautiful silver-purple eyes looking in the direction of the Tower of Babel, since she had been promoted to the rank of Second Order Epic Knight, the change in circumstances had never given her such a strong feeling.
With a click, everything passed back to normal, but there was still a faint sense of vicissitudes and eternity in Lucian's alchemy laboratory.
Lucien looked at the "Moon Hour" lying quietly on the alchemy platform, and felt that its brilliance had become a little restrained, revealing a cold and indifferent, and added the same silver button next to the "Advanced Time Stop" button.
"Succeeded?" Lucien also wondered, it was a vision of ordinary legendary items to advance to the pinnacle before, just like the peak of the legendary powerhouse?
Picking up the "Moon Watch", Lucien probed into his spiritual power and felt a little kind softness.
After a long time, Lucien put the "Moon Watch" back into his vest pocket, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face, his exclusive legendary item has indeed become the fourteenth legendary pinnacle item, and there is an additional active ability - "Spell Casting Acceleration"!
This is very similar to Danissos' unique talent, and it also doubles the speed at which legendary magic can be cast!
However, Danissos can be cast without restrictions, while Lucian can only use it three times a day, and each time it lasts half of Daniss' time, that is, the time it takes to normally cast a legendary magic.
Even so, even if the effects of "Advanced Time Stop" and "Gravitational Collapse" have only reached the peak level of the legend, and the number of times has not changed, it is still five times, Lucien is very satisfied, if this ability is used well, it is definitely the key to victory!
Natasha in the "Atomic Universe" also had a smile on her face, and then shared Lucian's joy through electromagnetic communication, but she did not turn back to the Tower of Babel because of this, and still stayed here to temper, even for the second-order epic knight, such tempering is difficult to have a good effect.
This is because the recent undercurrent of the situation has made her vigilant and cautious, so she seizes every free time to improve herself.
In the past year, the overall situation in the world has not changed much, and it has remained relatively stable, but this is just the opinion of ordinary people and ordinary magicians, in the eyes of Lucian and Natasha, the legendary powerhouses at the top of the world world, the undercurrent under the calm sea has long appeared, and it is terrifying.
Whether it is the integrated Dark Council, the Southern Church, or the Northern Church, they all tacitly did not fight each other, but quietly developed towards the kingdoms of the false gods in the north of the Dark Mountains, slowly but resolutely devouring them, causing the control of these countries to shrink significantly, and maybe when, there will be news of the fall of the legendary level false gods.
And the "Lord of Hell's"'s integration of the power of the endless ocean, even if it is strongly interfered with by the Magic Council and the Elven Court, has achieved certain results.
............
The sky is blue, Lucien is walking on the road to the "Atomic Research Institute", and today is the date when Heidi, Cherly, Lowe and Ophelia report on the progress of "artificial intelligence" research.
In the past year, most magicians have continued to digest the knowledge of quantum theory, and the arcanists in the "Atomic Research Institute" who have been studying this field for a long time have begun to transform their knowledge into their own strength.
Even Luo Wei and other "apprentice-level assistants" have some of the level of four or five levels and four or five rings.
Suddenly, Lucien felt the floor under his feet tremble slightly, this was not the effect of the explosion, but the "joy" of the "city in the sky".
What's the matter? Lucien's spirit moved, and he flashed directly to the core of the "Sky City" and saw the teacher with a smile on his face.
"Ha Luha, I've finally got a stable fission reactor!" Fernando smirked smirked, his half-white hair a little messy. (To be continued......)
