In Felipe's opinion, Professor was trying to save his face by refusing to admit his failure. What Professor asked him to do would not bring any loss to Felipe. Felipe could add a clause in the contract that forbade them from revealing the identity of Professor in Sturk City to each other's students and friends.
However, since Felipe had already won a substantial victory, there was no need for him to take such a great risk to fight against such a powerful and mysterious enemy. Any rational sorcerer would choose to give the enemy a way out, especially when Professor had shown his talent in the field of Element and Necromancy.
After a few seconds of hesitation, Felipe smiled and said, "Alright, we'll do as you say, Mr. Professor. This is because we didn't agree on the definition of life matter in advance."
Then, Felipe turned around and said to all the necromancers and apprentices, "In Sturk City, there's a bank called 'Dazzling Gold'. Mr. Granneuve, the boss of the bank, is one of the maintainers of the underground order in Sturk City, and he's also the liaison of the Congress of Magic. He's responsible for arranging sorcerers and some lucky apprentices to go to Allyn through the Church's blockade."
After saying all this, Felipe turned to Lucien and spread out his hands, "I've fulfilled my promise, Mr. Professor. Please keep your promise as well."
Lucien glanced at all the necromancers and apprentices "angrily", "Your ignorance will make you suffer. Those who can't tell the difference between friend and foe will live a miserable life forever."
The necromancers and apprentices, who were talking about Professor's experiment, suddenly froze. It seemed that they would never be able to get rid of the Hand of Paleness.
Many people's eyes were filled with sorrow and desperation, but they could not find any reason to ask Professor to help them again.
Lucien, who was extremely happy in his heart, strode down the platform and walked forward in the forest of eyes without looking back.
"Viscount Carendia, please allow me to leave in advance." As a sorcerer who was regarded as very cunning, Lucien did not let his anger linger for too long, because it would not look real. Instead, he quickly calmed down and said goodbye to his master.
Viscount Carendia raised his glass that still had some wine left. "Thank you, Mr. Professor, for showing me the latest achievement of arcana studies in the field of elemental magic. Failure is only temporary. I believe that with your talent and strength, you will definitely become a famous figure in the history of magic. Nied, show Mr. Professor the way out of the castle. "
"Thank you for your praise, Viscount." Lucien did not dare to say too much, fearing that he would expose his inner ecstasy. He then walked towards the entrance of the hall under Nied's respectful gesture.
Lucien walked calmly in the eyes of shame, depression, and desperation, and Felipe's vigilance to prevent any sudden attacks from the professor.
Suddenly, Viscount Carendia smiled. "Mr. Professor, in fact, there's something that I've been meaning to ask you."
"What is it?" Lucien cursed Viscount Carendia in his mind. Why couldn't he just leave quietly as a loser?
Viscount Carendia said expectantly, "Mr. Professor, there's a faint smell on your body that's about to disappear. It's something that I'm familiar with. Do you know another man whose surname is Carendia? "
Lucien was confused, "Carendia is not a rare surname. There's even a duke in the Guste Empire whose surname is Carendia. But speaking of which, I do know a Mr. Rhein Carendia. "
Was Rhein a dark creature related to the viscount?
The reason why Lucien didn't think of it before was that the surname was too common. Back on Earth, when he met people whose surname was Li, he would not think that they were related to Qiang Ge.
"Silver hair and silver eyes?" Nied, who rarely interrupted his master, turned around and asked Lucien.
Lucien nodded, "Do you know Mr. Rhein?"
Holding his forehead, Viscount Carendia sighed and said, "Of course, he is my grandfather, in terms of the relationship between human beings and me. But he's always been an irresponsible person who abandoned his descendants. "
"Well …" Lucien thought to himself, "It's fate that brings us together." Felipe also had a feeling that his seniority was rising. After all, he and Rhein were friends.
Seeing that Professor knew Viscount Carendia's grandfather, he was even more sure of Professor's power and arcana level. Since Professor had such a powerful descendant, Mr. Rhein must be at least a senior-rank vampire, and Professor, who had such a friend, could not be weak.
"Mr. Professor, please tell me where my grandfather is right now." Viscount Carendia looked at Lucien with his bright eyes.
Lucien paused for a second and then said, "The last time I saw Mr. Rhein was in Aalto. As for now, I don't know. "
"Thank you, Mr. Professor. Since you know my grandfather, why don't you stay as a guest in the castle? "Viscount Carendia invited Felipe warmly.
Lucien did not dare to stay. Now that he had achieved his goal, this was the best chance for him to leave. He did not dare to put his hope on the relationship between Viscount Carendia and Rhein. If they were really close, why did Rhein barely come back to the castle? "Thank you, Viscount, but I'm not in the mood to stay here. Besides, I have other tasks to do."
Viscount Carendia did not insist. He smiled and said, "Then I hope we can meet again in the future, Mr. Professor. May the Silver Moon bless you."
Lucien nodded and tightened his back muscles. He tried to stay calm and continued to follow Nied. He was very scared that something unexpected would happen again. He did not have much confidence to face another change.
Fortunately, there was no accident this time. Lucien left the hall smoothly and walked towards the gate of the castle.
Seeing Professor's back disappear in the darkness, Fatty murmured to himself, "If we agreed with Mr. Professor's experiment against our will, maybe the result would've been different."
"I think there would've been a fierce magic battle. Maybe it would've involved us, because Mr. Felipe would never back down." The necromancer in front of them shook his head and sighed, "This is probably the best result …"
Ceci, Tess and Sidney looked at each other and nodded slightly. They knew what each other meant. Felipe was in a good mood after defeating Professor, so they wanted to get as many details as possible without changing the main terms of the contract.
Felipe put his hands in the pockets of his coat and watched Professor leave with a smile on his face as if he was the winner.
However, when Lucien really disappeared from the gate, Felipe's face turned very gloomy. He clenched his fists tightly in the pockets of his coat. No matter whether he and the arcanists and sorcerers in the Hand of Paleness were willing to admit that carbamide was a living substance or not, in the field of element magic, Professor's experiment was already revolutionary and groundbreaking. It would definitely lead to the trend of synthesizing all kinds of living substances with only elements or other non-living substances. Professor would also receive countless praises and honors because of this.
Felipe was very self-aware and insightful about these matters.
"Can Life Force Theory withstand this storm?"
"I'm also a young sorcerer. I can't be left behind by Professor!"
… …
After leaving the gate of Carendia Castle, Lucien found himself in a completely strange deep mountain. There were tall trees everywhere, and he could not see the bright sky of the Silver Moon or the sparkling lake.
"Mr. Professor, the castle's name is Amorechuk, and it's an alchemical life," Nied explained to Lucien respectfully since he knew the old Count Rhein.
Lucien nodded. No wonder the location of the Feast of Death had never changed. Lucien thought to himself, "It seems that I disturbed Amorechuk when I used the Hand of Resonance to prove my identity."
Alchemical life was a kind of living substance made by mixing specific souls and wraiths, which was recorded in the Book of Necromancy. Lucien did not think about it before, because no one would think that such a huge castle had a living being.
"It's okay, Mr. Professor." A muffled voice came from the castle. "It's just a little itchy."
Hearing Amorechuk's answer, Lucien could only twitch the corner of his mouth a little bit. Then, he said goodbye to Nied and Amorechuk and walked into the forest calmly and steadily.
When he was far away from the castle, Lucien checked the surroundings with several spells from the Book of Astrology and Elements. Then, he turned into a faint Silver Moon and started running.
Lucien would be a fool if he did not take the opportunity to run as far as he could while Felipe was still discussing the details of the contract with the necromancers and apprentices.
Lucien did not know how far he had run and how many turns he had taken. When the sun was about to rise, Lucien finally returned to the place where he had hidden his other belongings.
After putting on his formal suit and burning his hood, Lucien suddenly collapsed under a tree. His heart was pounding rapidly. This was the most dangerous situation that he had ever been in.
In front of Felipe, he was completely defenseless. Lucien was able to seize the opportunity to escape.
Lucien thought to himself, "Since I got Sun's Corona from the magic lock and became a sorcerer, and I ruined Baron Habearo's plan, I've become more and more arrogant. I've become more and more adventurous, and I've forgotten that power is the foundation of everything."
Lucien thought to himself, "The Feast of Death came at the right time."
Lucien thought to himself, "Luckily, I've found out Granneuve's identity. I'll never take risks like this again! "
After a deep reflection, Lucien got up and headed east after his body recovered.
