Chapter 42: A Secret Meeting
——Ask for a Sanjiang ticket~
........................................................................................................................
After closing the door of Smyer's room, Lucien concentrated his mental power and changed the structure and frequency of the faint mental power imprint on the owl Doro, so that it disappeared directly, because as soon as he left, Smyer would definitely carefully check Doro to find the reason why it was being followed, Lucian didn't want to let his unique mental power use skills be discovered and cracked so soon.
Still cautiously walking to the back door, Lucien once again performed the "Silent Portal" and "Switch Technique", quietly leaving the Coppercrown Tavern, and then made a large circle before returning to his cabin.
Lying on the bed, Lucien actually had a slightly relieved mood, in the powerful Aalto of the church, meeting a fellow magic apprentice, just like in a raging storm, someone cooperated to face it, and there was no need to move forward alone: "They are all magic apprentices, I don't know how many reclusive magicians are left in Aalto?"
............
For the next few days, Lucien lived his own regular life, waking up early in the morning, exercising his body and practicing swordsmanship for an hour, and then going to work in the library, sometimes reading religious texts and travelogues, sometimes reading music theory, memorizing fingering and reading notation, and sometimes analyzing spells and the structure of magic circles in the soul library.
Although Pieru is very obscene, when he fell into the world of music, he was a very quiet teenager and would not disturb Lucian's study at all, and Wolf was invited to play in a certain earl's domain during this time, and did not come to the library, and other musicians, musicians and Victor were not friends, but they were not enemies, and they did not have that time to embarrass Lucian, so Lucian lived a very leisurely life.
The only small regret is that I did not meet Lady Sylvia, a twenty-four-year-old unmarried musician, known as the "musical lily", and Pieru admired her very much, describing her as a gentle and elegant goddess. Lucien didn't have any covetousness, but was infected by Pieru's fanatical attitude and felt very curious, but unfortunately Sylvia was good at the harpsichord, haunting the piano rooms of many aristocratic girls and ladies, and rarely came to the musicians' association.
And in the afternoon, because the learning effect is very good, Lucian's learning time in words has been compressed to one hour, and then he is the same as Lott and Phyllis, reading music theory knowledge, and so on until four o'clock, he will start a two-hour piano performance practice, over and over again, Lucian's tenacity and stubbornness hidden in this matter have been brought into full play, do not practice until he is satisfied, never stop, and when the practice is over, Lucien will lament, playing the piano is really a physical work, let yourself be covered in sweat, arms, The fingers are very sore.
In the evening, it was Lucien's time to study and study magic, and not be distracted by anything.
On Friday evening, when he went to dinner at Aunt Elisa's house, Lucien noticed that several simple drawings had been drawn like children in the inconspicuous corner of the next wall.
"At 10 p.m. on Saturday, I was waiting for me in front of the sixth abandoned house in the easternmost part of Adjan. Owl. ”
"Owl" is Smail's code name.
Lucian, who took a casual glance and could interpret its contents, his expression remained unchanged, and his steps were still steady and he walked into Aunt Elisa's house.
............
At 9:30 p.m. the next day, the soft silver moon and bright stars were covered by dark clouds, and the night was deep and oppressive.
Lucien put on a black robe with a hood, checked the location and quantity of magic materials, put the "Ice and Snow Avenger" ring on his left index finger, and then carefully felt the surroundings before carefully going out and dissolving into the darkness of the night.
Whipped in a damp, dreary breeze, Lucien walked twenty minutes to the easternmost part of Adjan's district, where he found the abandoned house.
The whining owl chirped, and Lucien hurriedly looked at the tall willow tree next to the house, and saw Smail standing in the shadow of the trees in the same black robe, but Smail had lifted his hood so that Lucian could recognize him, and Doro the owl stood leisurely on the willow tree, watching the surroundings and serving as a guard for the party inside.
"It is our pleasure, Mr. Professor, to have you here with us. Smail put his hood on, hiding his countenance, and his tone was full of joy, "I have told the other companions about you, and they are very happy and want to ask you for some magical problems, and of course, we will pay for this guidance." ”
"Magical problems? Hehe, it seems that they still don't quite believe that I am officially a 'magician'. Lucien said amusedly in his heart, although because the witch only translated one formal magic, Lucien didn't know how far he was from the official magician in terms of knowledge, but he was sure that he was better than most magic apprentices in this regard, as can be seen from the analysis of the "Ice Avenger" ring, "It's good, but I'm better at astrology and elemental magic, if it's these two questions, I think I should be able to answer them for you." ”
Hearing Lucien speak so confidently, Smyer affirmed his official status as a magician: "Mr. Professor, please follow me." ”
The black robes were hard to distinguish in the night, but the abandoned house was a dozen paces away, and Lucien easily followed Smail to the door.
Knock knock, knock knock, knock, knock...... Smyer knocked on the wooden door with a strange rhythm, and then learned from the owl twice.
After waiting for five seconds, the wooden door slowly opened, and a man in the same black robe stood in the dilapidated house: "Owl, this is Mr. Professor?"
His voice was hoarse, and when he heard it, he deliberately changed it.
"Yes. Smyer replied briefly in the same deep voice, "Mr. Professor, this is the 'Fire Wolf'. ”
Lucien's hooded head nodded slightly, "Hello." The left hand is hidden in the sleeve, and the Ice Avenger is ready to attack.
After entering the small living room of the house, through a door, you will reach the storage room, where there is a staircase leading downward.
"Basement!" Lucien snapped to himself, why did he bother building a magic lab in the sewers? he could have made a small basement by himself, and there were not only sewers below the ground.
At that time, it is completely possible to carry out magic experiments and spell casting exercises in the basement with little movement and magic fluctuations, and if there is a lot of movement, you can find a remote place in the Melzer Black Forest, and then build a complete underground laboratory to do experiments once a week.
The basement was not large, with eleven low stools, and a long table with two candles lit in the middle, and the yellowish flames flickered, reflecting the eight black robes and black hooded magic apprentices in an eerie light.
After Lucien had stepped down cautiously and on high alert, the fire wolf and Smail closed the entrance to the basement and followed, sitting on the empty low stool.
Smyer stood up and glanced at all the magic apprentices, "Ladies and gentlemen, this is Mr. Professor, a full-fledged magician with great knowledge and strength. ”
He then introduced Lucien to the magical apprentices: "This is White Honey, the Morning Star, the Reindeer, the White Glove, the Oak Tree, the Sage, the Mercury, the Hanged One. ”
Lucien nodded, "Nice to meet you, before you start, can you let me take a look at that Arcane?"
The sage replied in a stubborn voice: "No problem, Mr. Professor, you can look at it as you like, we will communicate with ourselves first." By the way, I've brought you the set of magic experiment utensils you need, if you can guide me with a magic question, then this set of magic experiment utensils is yours, if not, then it will cost thirty silver nar. ”
He said as he handed Lucien a book with a dark black hardcover cover.
Lucien received it and did not open it immediately, but looked carefully at the cover.
The deep black, which makes the eye seem to be sucked in, has countless brilliant silver-white lines, which form two lingua franca characters "Arcane" and a few finger-sized words: "The 11th issue of the sacred calendar 790", which is simple and mysterious, and the text is made of parchment.
Flipping through the table of contents, Lucien saw that there were twenty-four articles on it, the first of which was: "Discussion on Several Questions on the Fifth Failed Attempt to Find a Planet", and his heart moved, and he directly flipped over:
"The theory of gravity established by Mr. Douglas can perfectly explain the construction principles of many force field magic, and even most of the astrological magic, and through this theory, we have created many new and powerful magic, which is one of the main foundations of the force field system in the two majestic palaces of the classical magic system. ”
"With the help of gravitational theory, we have summarized the three laws of planetary motion from the chaotic laws of astrological changes, which have significant guiding significance for prophetic magic such as 'astrology' and 'astrology'. ”
......
But there is a very important problem in Mr. Douglas's theory of gravity that has not been proven, from the theory of gravity, we can deduce its formula, and we can know that the continent we are on is also on a planet, it is rotating on itself, it is revolving around the sun, and the planets in the sky are doing similar motion. According to the formula of gravity and the laws of planetary motion, we can accurately calculate the position of these planets. ”
"However, when I pinpointed my position and used the space jump magic that had been prepared for a long time to reach the location I had calculated, I couldn't see a single planet, and I couldn't see the continent we were on. ”
"What is this for? a gravitational planet that should be waiting for me there, as if it never existed. In that position, I could feel the gravitational pull as if I were on land: but it was an unfathomable gravitational pull, and where were the planets?"
............
When Lucien knew that the stars in the sky still represented fate, he understood that the planet in this world was strange, but he didn't expect it to be so weird.
