After all the magic materials and items he needed were available, Lucien stopped guiding the magic apprentices such as Sage, Smail, White Honey, and Mercury, lowered his voice, and smiled gloomily: "Hey, this time it's over here, and I'll explain it to you when I go to the next party." ”

Lucian, who has realized that knowledge is equal to money, and is very lacking in money and eager for money, of course will not exchange his knowledge for some useless things, and his own foundation is not very solid.

Being able to get a senior and knowledgeable formal magician to guide them in so many magical problems, the sage and the others were already very satisfied, and even felt that what they had paid was far less than what they had gained, so they all stood up, put their right hands on their foreheads, and bowed deeply in the etiquette of an ancient magician saluting their mentors, expressing their gratitude.

"Mr. Professor, next, we will begin the exchange of objects, 'knowledge', and magic discussions between us, and you are welcome to attend. The sage said to Lucien with joy.

The so-called magic discussion is different from "guidance", but everyone talks freely about some magic issues, discusses with each other, is completely open, if you don't want to express your opinion on even a single issue, you can leave after exchanging items, and the sage invites Lucien to sit in on behalf of all magic apprentices, which means that he can just listen and not talk.

Of course, in the eyes of magic apprentices such as sages, white honey, and mercury, such a gentleman with extensive knowledge and strength would definitely not care about the superficial, apprentice-level magic issues discussed by himself and others.

Lucien still has some apprentice-level magic, due to the interference of his own knowledge that he has not yet fully mastered, but the analysis is not smooth, and in terms of magic casting, matching, and skills, it is limited to the stage of witch notes and his own groping, so after hearing the sage's invitation, he was simply hit by a lot of money, suppressed his joy, and replied calmly: "Then I'll listen to it." ”

"Thank you, Mr. Professor. White Honey was the first to express her gratitude in her hoarse voice with a little sexiness.

After the ten magic apprentices had exchanged items and knowledge, their discussion officially began.

Since most of the magic problems that need guidance today have been solved by Lucian, and the rest have been solved a lot in the exchange of knowledge and items just now, after discussing a few problems, they began to analyze some magic, release and match specific magic and other practical small problems, just as Lucian expected.

While each magic apprentice certainly retains his or her own unique skills and knowledge, Lucien gained a lot from just discussing the application of magic, which greatly compensated for his shortcomings in the application of magic at the apprentice level, and the gap between the knowledge and application of magic was filled in a bit, so he listened attentively and paid full attention.

It's just that, under the cover of the hood, in the eyes of magic apprentices such as White Honey, Oak Tree, and Sage, the powerful and mysterious Mr. Professor completely ignores the shallow discussion of himself and others, and quietly thinks about advanced problems on the side, which makes them inevitably feel a little disappointed.

At more than twenty o'clock in the morning, the magic apprentices stopped discussing and exchanged some news about the Melzer Black Forest and several well-known ruins nearby, and this secret gathering officially ended.

As he sent Mr. Professor out of the basement, the sage said sincerely, "Dear Mr. Professor, if there is any news of the Dust of the Wraith, I will tell you directly at the meeting, of course, if you don't want to delay the time, you can give me a contact information." ”

Lucien shook his head: "If there is any news, you can tell the owl that he knows how to contact me." "Although Smail is not necessarily reliable, but with a layer of separation, there is a lot more room for his own buffer, and he knows the true identity of Smail, and it will definitely not be less to observe in secret.

Mercury sighed slightly, looking a little disappointed: "Mr. Professor, will you come to the meeting in two weeks?"

The eyes of the other magic apprentices around him under the hood seemed to be focused on Lucian.

"Depending on the situation, it may go to the depths of the Black Forest in Melzer, or it may be a critical time for a magical experiment, and no one can say what will happen in two weeks. "Lucien is going to make his participation in the secret party a random act that makes it impossible to guess.

"At least not outright refusal!" Mercury and the other magic apprentices comforted themselves with a slight relaxation, fearing that without the lure of the Arcane Journal, the mysterious "Professor" would not come back.

Lucien's harvest this time, in addition to the application of magic, there are many real material things, especially the heaviest set of magic experimental utensils, fortunately Lucien insisted on exercising during this time, and his strength has increased a lot compared to the past, so he did not look embarrassed when climbing the ladder to leave the basement, lost his demeanor, and forgot his vigilance.

After leaving the basement, Smyer mentally communicated with his pet owl Doro at close range, and when he saw that it staggered to indicate that there was nothing abnormal, he signaled Lucian and the magic apprentices who came out with him to leave.

The night was dark, like a piece of cloth dyed black, and Lucien chose a direction that was completely different from everyone else's, and walked briskly without hurrying or hurrying, turning around the familiar slums.

When he arrived at a relatively spacious place, Lucien suddenly stood up and said coldly: "Your Excellency, come out, don't follow me anymore." ”

Quiet, still pitch black.

"I've already found you, don't hide anymore, you don't have to sneak around with me about anything, just ask in person. Lucien had a terrifying cold aura emanating from him, as if he was about to cast a powerful spell.

In fact, Lucien didn't find anything, but he was careful to use the bluffing tricks of bad guys and evil magicians to deceive people, so as not to really be followed, after all, there are official magicians behind people like mercury and white honey.

In the silence of darkness, just as Lucien was about to go around his home again as planned, a crow croaked up on the top of a tree in front of him, and left in the other direction, as if disturbed by Lucian's voice.

I don't know if he was really being followed by someone else's pet or summoned creature, or if he happened to be startled by this crow, in short, Lucien was still very satisfied with this effect, so he shook his head pretending to be profound: "It's really ......"

The aura of the "Ice Avenger" subsided, and Lucien walked briskly into a slum street full of forks, and if you weren't familiar with the place, you would definitely get lost.

While spreading his spiritual power out of the road, he continued to turn around in the fork in the road, and when he finally left through a certain exit, Lucien saw that he still didn't find anything, so he returned to his house.

Doing this step is already Lucian's limit.

Back at the cottage, nothing happened, and Lucien finally let go of his worries.

............

Late at night a week later, a large black hole appeared in Lucian's hut, a small kitchen-like place where the stove and clay pot were kept.

This is a basement three meters long, 2.5 meters wide, and more than one person high, this is the laboratory that Lucien took time out of every night for seven days to build with the "micro-effect fossil into mud" magic array, the basement wall is hard stone, and a small magic circle is arranged above it to eliminate echoes, so as not to be allowed to enter his house and accidentally walk to this place, judging from the sound of his footsteps that the bottom is empty.

In the basement, Lucien stepped on a stool, holding a silver dagger with magic runes, and pushed it with concentrated mental power to carve straight lines on the wall above.

This is the "sterling silver dagger" that Lucien obtained from a secret gathering to depict the magic array, which is part of the magic experiment vessel.

There were more and more lines, and the outline of the magic array gradually took shape, a small complex magic array that could hide the fluctuations of magic.

Originally, "eliminating fluctuations" was a three-ring magic, but because of its wide application, it has been simplified in ancient magic to be less demanding, and the small, weakened magic array that apprentices can use, and it and "micro-effect fossils into mud", "eliminate echoes", and "create mechanisms" are the four magic arrays that Lucien can use at present, and the others are apprentice-level, known as magic traps.

After carving the magic array, Lucien took out a bag of black odorless powder, picked it up little by little with a sterling silver dagger, and applied it to the lines of the magic array.

This powder is very strange and sticks quickly no matter what it encounters, and it is made from a magical plant called "Black Top".

After smearing the magic array, Lucien took out the mercury again, carefully poured it onto the magic array, and a drop of silver-gray liquid was sucked by the "black rattan powder" like a drop of water, and firmly stuck to the lines, and suddenly, the entire magic array was full of silver-gray lines, flashing with a strange light.

After putting some other materials in the right place in various ways, Lucien pressed the core of the magic array with his hand, spreading out his spiritual power and activating the magic array.

The silver-gray lines lit up little by little, and the entire magic array shone completely, and then merged into the stone wall, and no longer saw any lines and light.

Lucien walked down from the stool with some prostration, carving a magic array is very mentally demanding, equivalent to casting four or five informal magic, and after ten days, the material power of the magic array is consumed, and it needs to be replaced.

If you want to last longer, you either have to use your own mental power to maintain it, or replace the formal magic array with a complex structure that can slowly and automatically restore the amount of power, such as the one in "Ice and Snow Avenger", or find something that contains more magic power, such as the core of a magical creature, which may be fur, horns, eyes, blood, etc.

"I've finally got the magic lab in place. ”

Lucien sat on the stool and recovered, because this was the magic array that "eliminated fluctuations", which needed to be arranged after the most solitary arrangement, while the other magic arrays and magic traps were completed late last night and most of the night before.

After resting for a while, Lucien placed his magic experiment utensils one by one on the long stone table made by the reverse application of "Micro Effect Fossils into Mud", completing the last step of the magic laboratory arrangement.

Looking at the glittering glasswork, the delicate small stove, etc., Lucien nodded in satisfaction, walked back to his hut from the stone staircase, and performed the "Switch Technique" and activated the "Fabrication Mechanism" magic circle to seal the entrance.

From the outside, there is nothing unusual here.

"In the future, you can do some less intense magic experiments and spell casting exercises. ”

Lucien went back to bed and took the time to sleep for a while, for it was almost dawn.

............

"Lucien, take care of yourself. Pieru looked at Lucian's face, which had become slightly worse because of staying up late, and said again with deep and forceful feelings, with pity and concern.

Lucien smiled and shook his head, "It's just insomnia." ”

"By the way, I haven't asked yet, what instrument do you learn from Mr. Victor?" asked Pieru in a leap of thought.
