Chapter 33: "Ranking" (Part 1)

The city of Heidler, the headquarters of the Pale Hand, is perennially foggy and gloomy.

Felipe put his hands in the pockets of his long black trench coat and looked intently at the light gray sky outside the window, and on the desk in front of him was the October issue of Arcane, with a half-page table of contents on one side of the yellowed parchment, and a text full of words on the other, with the title written in solemn bold font two sizes larger: "The Discovery of a New Particle".

"It's only about one thousandth of an atom......" Felipe seemed to speak to the solidified pale gray sky, "and he's catching up faster than I thought, and he can't afford to slack off." However, the discovery of new particles that have not been proven to be related to the internal structure of atoms should not make him a high-level arcanist......"

A look of confusion appeared on his gloomy pale face.

Suddenly, Felipe raised his hand and said to the dark black bracelet, "Mr. Rogerio, have you found out about Lucien Evans?"

Rogerio's voice came from inside the bracelet: "Yes, there is no secrecy, and the Affairs Committee can easily access the information." Felipe, the miracle experiment was designed by Lucian Evans. ”

"Is it?" Felipe was both shocked and seemed to confirm something, he had always suspected that the miracle experiment was related to the professor, otherwise it would be impossible for the Elemental Will to find the direction and make such a shocking experiment in such a short time after the publication of his paper, but he had long been suspicious, his face seemed to be a little pale, and he gritted his teeth a little bit, "It is worthy of being evaluated by the church as a ruthless, vicious, cunning and ruthless professor." ”

Rogerio also had a little hatred: "So, I suspect that the progress of overthrowing the doctrine of human life force has always been under his control. ”

"Nope. At that time, it should have been just an accident, but when he was promoted to the middle rank, maybe things would not develop according to our control. Felipe thought back to the situation at that time, judging from Lucian's response and emotional changes, his wisdom must not have reached the level of horror that even unexpected events were included in the plan and disguised so well, it should be said that except for the "Prophet", other legendary magicians could not do anything, even if the "Prophet" was planning to be similar to his own strength. Even when there is still a victory over the enemy. It is also difficult to predict and grasp most of the details.

"It seems that Traquill's assassination disrupted his plans and allowed things to go the way we wanted. Rogerio didn't know whether he was sarcastic about Traquill, or if he was really glad. "Alright. Felipe. Lucien Evans' promotion to the top of the Arcane Review Committee has happened, so don't worry too much about it. At least your magic level is superior to his, and with only five rings, no matter how many high-level magic items there are, it will be very dangerous to face the inevitable revenge of the church in the next few years, and maybe we will have to attend his real funeral in a year or two. ”

"The only regret is that Lucien Evans has been under close protection lately, and the Church will certainly not choose this time of high security for the Parliament to assassinate, and we will have to wait a year or two to enjoy this good show. ”

He was a member of the Panel, and was well aware that Lucien had already held a funeral, and that Felipe, who was arrogant and arrogant, had always held a grudge against "Professor" Lucien Evans, seeing him as his biggest rival - even if the only directions they excelled at were elementals and alchemy.

"In a few years......" Felipe shook his head, and by then the professors would probably have been promoted to the higher ranks.

He had no doubt that Lucien would become a high-level magician before the age of thirty, the only doubt was how far he could advance.

After sharing the information with Felipe through electromagnetic teleportation, Rogerio cut off contact, and he was busy with his research, and the increase of the influence factor of "Magic" to 3.0 gave him hope of being promoted to level 8 arcanist within ten years.

There was a hoarse squeak from inside the bracelet, and then he regained his composure, and Felipe exhaled softly, whispering in a hateful tone, "Miracle experiment...... New Particle ......"

"Very well, Lucien, Commissioner Evans!"

"Felipe, it looks like you're not happy?" a dark, gloomy voice suddenly came from the empty room behind him.

Felipe was not surprised, and slowly turned his head: "There is nothing to be happy or unhappy, this has stimulated my enthusiasm for arcane research, the influencing factors of "Arcane" and "Magic" are both 3.0, if I complete a few more high-rated and high-discussion papers, I can step into the ranks of high-level arcanists within a year." ”

He wasn't that far from the sixth level in his own right.

On the chair opposite the desk, a figure slowly emerged, no, an undead with rotten and solidified facial muscles, white bones clearly visible, he was wearing a black robe painted with gorgeous and strange patterns, like a human He He smiled: "Do you need me to help you? I don't have much research on arcane arts, but I know that several places in the necromantic realm and some unique materials are very helpful to improve your necromantic magic strength, as long as you sign a companion contract with me, within five years, you can step into the ranks of the Seven Rings of Magic." ”

"Angus, I'll do my work myself, I don't need you to worry about it. You have to remember that you are just a high-ranking undead summoned by me, I am your master, and when I don't need you to speak, you are quiet, understand?" Felipe looked at Angus with deep eyes.

Angus's bone frame made a soft sound, "Yes, my master. ”

With his hands back in the pockets of his black trench coat, Felipe walked to the door of the study, and as he passed Angeus, he said as if he were commanding a servant, "Very well." I'm ready to start a magical experiment, and I don't have urgent information from the council or the organization, so don't let anyone bother me. ”

"Yes, master. Angus replied respectfully, and when Felipe's back disappeared in the doorway, he whispered: "Arrogant to the point of stupidity!"

In the corridor, the corners of Felipe's mouth hooked up a sneer: "Fool, can't the undead of the Necromantic Realm send a guy with a normal IQ to sign a master-servant summoning contract with me?

Step into the Magic Tower Lab and activate the Defensive Magic Circle. Felipe's expression became focused.

The lab was cold and white, and on the dissecting table in front of Felipe lay a pale-faced, lifeless human corpse—a volunteer recruited with money.

The autopsy of the corpse after death in exchange for the enjoyment of life and the happiness of the family is completely unnecessary for many poor people at the bottom.

After the last experiment, the corpse's eyes were wide open, and the dark blue pupils reflected Felipe's cold, gloomy face.

He picked up a silver-white dagger, sliced his right hand without a hint of trembling, sliced open his chest, and took out a dark red heart.

Place the heart inside the magic circle. Felipe walked over to another dissecting table. Lying on it was a powerful undead creature, an advanced "gobir" of ghouls, who was as short as a child. The skin on the body is decaying. The stench is overflowing. Expose the bones inside.

Unaffected, Felipe also slashed his chest with a dagger, carefully removing the rotting black heart. And put it into the magic circle just now.

Activating the magic circle to remove the many distractions, Felipe cut off a thin slice from each of the two hearts, then picked up a bottle of reagent and dyed them silver at the same time.

Felipe then put them into the observation circle to zoom in and see what had happened to humans and the undead that humans had turned into at the level of cell tissue.

"It's still not big enough to see the small things clearly......" Felipe's face became more and more gloomy as he focused on adjusting the magic array.

Radiant Cathedral.

"Damned blasphemer!" Bahá'u'lláh's roar echoed through Felibel's study, filled with furious rage, "I will judge him and purify him with my own hands!"

"To be sure, he is the devil, and a devil who is proficient in grasping people's hearts!!, otherwise how could he write 'Ode to Joy' hypocritically?!" Valenhill gritted his teeth.

Four pairs of white wings fluttered from the back of the "Four-winged Knight" Stone, with a little glow wrapped around them: "He must be purified, he is the greatest blasphemous in the last hundred years!"

"Purify not only him, but all his relatives and friends as well!" suggested Bahá'u'lláh, the magnate of the Inquisition, angrily and coldly.

Philippel's usually kind and generous face had a gloomy expression: "Lucien, Evans must die." But his relatives and friends are the ones who report his status as a magician, we can't make a distinction between right and wrong, and we can't fight the meritorious ones, and do you think that a hypocritical and vicious magician like Lucy Evans would take care of hindering his magic development and betraying his relatives and friends?"

"Philipbel, no matter what, we have to act. "Bahá'u'lláh's eyes were dangerous.

Philippel looked at Valenhill and Stone, and saw that they were all nodding solemnly, so he said: "Put Lucien Evans in the purification sequence, and declare to all the clergy that the purification requirements for him will not be weakened by the passage of time, and will not stop because of a failure, until death!"

"I agree, and as the experimental designer who desecrated the forbidden zone of the gods, the discoverer who subverted the content of theology, and the cunning devil who deceived the devout believers, Lucien Evans is far more dangerous and blasphemous than the other high-ranking magicians, archmages, heretical cardinals, etc., and must be ranked first after the legendary demons who need to be purified, that is, the fifty-third place in the purification sequence. "Bahá'u'lláh is the magnate of the Inquisition, and he speaks of things that are within his purview.

There are definitely more than fifty-two legendary powerhouses, but the purification sequence does not count the legends within the church, not counting the noble knights who have not openly betrayed, not counting the devil dukes and demon kings who are difficult to descend into the main material world, not counting some magical creatures such as the primeval dragon that does not go out all year round in the dark mountain range, not counting the ancient evil things floating in the alien dimension, etc.

"I'm okay with that. Philippel agreed, and the other two members of the Cardinal Conference did not object.

"Then we'll submit and convey the Primordial Devil' Lucien Evans's Purification Sequence Ranking. "Bahá'u'lláh said coldly.

The title of "Primordial Devil" comes from Lucian's miracle experiment, which revealed a possibility of the origin of life, and at the same time, he is good at disguise, deceiving the world, and is very similar to the devil.

"The operation against Lucien started early, looking for opportunities, waiting for opportunities, seizing opportunities. Filibel reminded Bahá'u'lláh. (To be continued......)
