The Great Arcanist was undoubtedly the brainchild of Liszt. He felt that the lack of magazines and newspapers in this world was a bit of an entertainment shortage.
But there was no point in publishing a newspaper, because he didn't need to read it to know everything that was happening in his territory. With the repeated improvements of the Magic Platform by the Guild of Magic, it had now entered the era of Magic Platform 5.0. It was miniaturized, standardized, confidential, and simple.
He could receive news from all over the territory at any time, and then there was a special squire to sort out the messages and send them to his desk.
Therefore, there was no newspaper, but there was internal information, which was basically used for internal circulation of officials and nobles.
But with the increasing popularity of the white paper, the territory's publishing industry began to flourish. Coupled with the conscious reform of the mage system, he signaled the Guild of Magic to publish the Great Arcanist, a periodical that focused on academics, so that the mages in the territory could set out for glory and make more inventions.
Lucy didn't miss any issue of the Great Arcanist. She hoped that one day she could also be on the cover of this periodical.
She was reading about Gondolph Truth.
This great mage, Gondolph, came from the Kingdom of Eagle's vassal state, the Principality of Chrysoberyl. When he came, he didn't come alone, but with eleven mage apprentices and a large number of magic apprentices. Unlike the usual mages who were selfish and eccentric, Gondolph liked to teach magic.
After learning that the Grand Duchy of Sapphire had given birth to an Archmage, Gondolph took his disciples and disciples on a pilgrimage to Sapphire.
After visiting the Guild of Magic, he immediately decided to stay here and join the guild.
He was now a member of the Arcanist Assessment Board, and with the invention of the magic two-wheeled bicycle, he was promoted from an ordinary arcanist to an arcanist master, becoming the sixth arcanist master of the Guild of Magic.
"I have a strong interest in dynamics and have been engaged in research in this area for many years. After coming to His Highness's territory, I found the wheelbarrow and couldn't help but be amazed by His Highness's invention. Compared with the carriage, the wheelbarrow can be said to be beneficial to the country and the people …" Gondolph said in an interview with the editor of the Great Arcanist.
Since then, he had a soft spot for the wheelbarrow and decided to improve it into a more convenient vehicle.
One day, when he was collecting information in the plantation, he saw a serf pushing a broken wheelbarrow. The wheelbarrow had almost only one wheel left.
Therefore, when the serfs pushed the wheelbarrow, they could put their bodies on the handlebars and let the wheelbarrow run by itself.
This quickly gave Gondolf an idea: "Since a wheelbarrow can be pushed by hand, why not make a wheelbarrow that can be pushed by foot?"
But pushing a wheelbarrow with one's feet was easier said than done.
However, the glory of Liszt shines on every arcanist who is willing to think. When Gondolf saw the wheels the serfs used to fetch water from the well, he was suddenly inspired. So he invented a wheelbarrow that could be stepped on, but he soon discovered that the wheelbarrow was not easy to balance.
So he added a wheel.
It became a two-wheeled vehicle, also known as a bicycle. Unlike the bicycle on Earth, the front wheel of this bicycle was very large, and the pedals were directly connected to the wheel. The rear wheel was very small and was only used for stability.
Then Gundolf went on to set up a magic array for the bicycle so that it can run on its own.
And so the magic two-wheeled bicycle was born.
"What a great invention. I hope I can also invent an invention like the magic two-wheeled bicycle." Lucy said enviously after reading the report.
Lucy, who was mopping the floor, did not even raise her head and said contemptuously: "What's so great about that? Wait until the day I develop a bicycle that can fly in the sky, then that's called great!"
… …
"Brother, you're here."
"Yes."
"A Qi has just finished the experiment of stripping Lich Andy's soul. Several great sorcerers are now dealing with the trivial matters of Lich Andy." A Qi pointed to the glass compartment of the laboratory, where several great sorcerers were busy collecting data and information. Among them was the vice president of the Guild of Magic, Kenley.
Unlike Crazy, who mainly focused on administration, Kenley was very addicted to magic experiments and often came to A Qi's lab to help out and gain experience.
The trivial matters were quickly completed. Lich Andy was pushed out of the glass compartment, and the great sorcerers also saluted to Liszt: "Your Highness."
"No need to be so polite." Liszt walked to the stretcher and looked at the old, shriveled, humanoid creature that looked almost like Gollum in "The Lord of the Rings" lying on the stretcher. He asked: "This is Lich Andy?"
"After being stripped of the Scar of Fear and the dragon soul, Lich Andy has returned to his human form. However, his body is on the verge of collapse because of the erosion of the soul power. He won't live for more than a few days." A Qi explained and pointed to the transparent jar in the hands of another great sorcerer. "The dragon soul of the Sapphire Dragon is seriously polluted and needs to be purified for a period of time."
The jar was a kind of soul container made by A Qi. The container was filled with a special liquid, and a dark blue transparent sapphire dragon shadow was swimming in the liquid.
"This is the dragon soul?"
"Yes, there's also the Scar of Fear over there."
The Scar of Fear was an armor, a magical armor. Unlike ordinary armor, although the surface of this armor was silvery-white, the inside was made of a material as black as ink. It was similar to the material of the sapphire dragon bow that Liszt removed from the ghost ship.
A great sorcerer recognized this material: "Obsidian, a kind of gemstone associated with old dragons. It's very rare, but I don't know what its function is."
A dragon over 800 years old was an old dragon. At this time, the dragon would leave its place of residence and fly to the legendary Valley of the Dragon. No one could follow the old dragon and find the Valley of the Dragon. Some even speculated that the Valley of the Dragon did not exist, and the old dragon just didn't want to die in front of humans.
"Obsidian …" Liszt picked up the Scar of Fear and felt cold in his hand. It was not a physical coldness, but a coldness that penetrated deep into the soul. "It doesn't seem to be a stone, but more like metal?"
"Obsidian is like metal and crystal. It's very strange."
"So what is the use of this armor besides transforming into a lich?"
"Let's use the Ancient Book of Knowledge to identify it." A Qi had just stripped off the Scar of Fear and hadn't had time to study it. She took out the Ancient Book of Knowledge, and soon with a ray of light, a few words of the Moon appeared in the book — Obsidian, Mithril, Elven Blood, Isolation Banishing Fog.
The materials were clear, but the function introduced at the end, "Isolation Banishing Fog", was somewhat unclear.
A Qi quickly guessed, "Could it be some kind of fog used by the lich to isolate the land of exile? According to the existing information about the land of exile, this is the border between reality and illusion. Once the soul enters, it will sink. It is likely that the Scar of Fear can rely on banishing the fog to keep the soul awake."
"It's possible. It's a good artifact. I have to put it away."
Lich Andy's soul-stripping experiment was completed. Andy, who was like a grunt, was taken by the great sorcerers for related soul research. The dragon soul of the sapphire dragon needed to be purified, and it was also an excellent research material. It was left in A Qi's laboratory. There was no hurry to treat the sapphire dragon. After all, Grand Duke Andrew was not dead yet.
At this moment, A Qi had accumulated enough experience to help Liszt remove the remaining malice of the phoenix.
