Many magic theories of the ancient Magic Empire had long been overthrown by the rapid development of arcana research, and many meditation methods could no longer keep up with the times. However, the unique spells were still popular among the sorcerers today. Every time they explored a relic, in addition to magic items and materials, the most important thing was to find unique spells, magic circles and magic rites, because the only standard to measure a spell's effectiveness was whether it was effective or not.
In this regard, the ancient unique spells that simulated the structure of magic creatures and improved upon them were not inferior to the similar spells today. The only difference was that the nature and pattern of the spells used to be seventh or eighth circle spells had been found through arcana studies, and the requirements for learning them had been lowered. Therefore, the spells had become fourth or fifth circle spells.
Of course, the unique spells could also inspire the arcanists. Many arcana achievements in the Congress of Magic were discovered because of the unique spells, so the Congress would never be stingy with the arcana credits and arcana points for the submission of the unique spells.
However, the unique spells on Astrology and Elements were only available from the third circle onward, and Lucien had not learned and analyzed them yet. Therefore, it was hard for him to pick out the less important ones in a short period of time. Right now, he could only focus on the spells that he created or improved.
Among them, the first-circle spells, Charm Person (Sorcerer's version) and Charm Person (Knight's version), were Lucien's trump cards. Before the Congress of Magic proposed the concept of brain waves and human hormones, Lucien did not plan to submit them. Maybe in the future, he would be able to explore this field with the help of these two spells and gradually become an authority in the school of Illusion and Necromancy.
If Lucien submitted Professor's Hand of Resonance, and what happened to Aalto, his identity as Professor would be confirmed. Lucien planned to wait until he was a fifth-circle sorcerer before submitting the paper on resonance. If no one took the lead in the collaboration with carbamide, he would have to wait until then, in case he would be attacked by both the school of Necromancy and the Church.
Unlike on Earth, where the scientists had no combat ability, Lucien had learned from Astar that the Congress of Magic used violence to solve academic disputes. Sometimes, it wasn't that the arcanists were narrow-minded. Rather, it was that anyone who had reached their level wouldn't be able to change their beliefs until proven otherwise. Also, the arcanists weren't Gods, and they all had their own emotions. That was why, in the middle of an intense argument, a single mistake could lead to a tragedy.
As far as Astar knew, the Congress of Magic had set up small anti-magic circles in many discussion places.
Lucien had come to this conclusion after going through so many dangerous situations, unless there was no other choice, he would do whatever he could.
Lucien thought to himself, Lucien tapped the table in front of him with his right index finger, as if he was thinking to himself.
Lazar did not continue the topic, but looked at Lucien with a smile. It was everyone's business whether they could change their mind and join the Congress of Magic, and nobody else could interfere.
The high-pitched whistle sounded again, and the speed of the magic steam train gradually slowed down. In the end, it stopped at a gloomy platform. On the platform, more than ten people in classic black magic robes walked to the door between the two carriages empty-handed or with suitcases in their hands.
"Those damn necrophiles again. The most unbearable thing about this route is that we have to pass by the city of Heidler." Lazar complained in a low voice, feeling both disgusted and scared.
"Heidler?" Lucien looked out of the window in confusion, and to his surprise, he could vaguely see a crack outside of the haze.
It was the entrance to the World of Souls that could only be seen by the power of Sun's Corona.
Lucien had only seen five or six cracks like this when he was traveling on the continent, and he did not expect to see another one right after he arrived at the Kingdom of Holm. Lucien immediately understood why the necromancers were here.
Lazar continued in a low voice, "Not long after the Arcana Congress was founded, those damn necrophiles found that Heidler was filled with the strong power of death, so they moved the headquarter of the Hand of Paleness here. If you travel to Heidler, you'll find that there are more necromancers than living people. Some of them even have intelligence, and they can help farmers grow oats and blacksmiths forge steel … "
"Interesting." Lucien's answer made Lazar speechless.
As the necromancers approached, the leader of the group of necromancers, who was wearing a black windbreaker, shocked both of them.
Felipe was wearing a black top hat, and he habitually put his hands in the pockets of his black windbreaker. When the two carriages turned, he looked at them casually.
Lazar hurriedly stood up and saluted, "Good afternoon, Mr. Felipe."
The Congress of Magic had abandoned many bad habits of the ancient Magic Empire, such as the personal relationship between apprentices, but they still respected the learned and the powerful. Therefore, although Lazar was a sorcerer from the Will of Elements, he had to show his respect to Felipe, who was much stronger than him in terms of arcana and magic level.
Felipe just glanced at Lazar casually, and he didn't even care which organization Lazar was from. He nodded slightly and walked to the front carriage.
"Mr. Lazar, who's this gentleman? He looks like a powerful sorcerer. " Heidi, who was sitting on the soft chair behind Lucien, half kneeled on the chair and looked at Felipe with admiration.
Seeing that Felipe didn't feel anything strange about him, Lucien let out a sigh of relief and looked at Lazar with the same curiosity as the other apprentices.
Lazar's bright smile had disappeared, and he said to Lucien with a bit of bitterness, "This is Mr. Felipe, a sorcerer from the Hand of Paleness, an organization of necromancers. He's a level four arcanist and a fifth-circle necromancer, just like Ulysses, Larry, and Timothy, who I told you before, Evans."
"Mr. Felipe? I've heard of him, the one who broke through the Church's defense line? " Sprint said excitedly, as if he had seen his idol, "And he's not even a senior-rank sorcerer, but he's already on the Church's Cleansing List.
That's so cool! "All the apprentices looked at Felipe in excitement. Although they couldn't see anything, they knew that Felipe was a living legend.
"There's a similar gentleman in the Will of Elements. His name is' Professor ', and he's only one rank lower than Mr. Felipe on the Cleansing List," said Lazar, trying to maintain his image.
Lucien thought for a while, "I know that Professor is on the Cleansing List, but how do you know that I'm from the Will of Elements?"
Lucien asked again, "Mr. Astar mentioned Professor before, but is he from the Will of Elements?"
"Of course. Mr. Felipe seems to have some conflicts with Professor. After he came back, he secretly investigated the sorcerers in the Will of Elements, and he was almost killed by Mr. Gaston. It's the latest news in the Congress, "said Lazar. He glanced at the other carriage and said in a low voice, "Many arcanists who know Mr. Felipe think that he's become more mature after he came back. He's not as arrogant as he used to be, and he seems to be doing some kind of experiment."
Lucien thought to himself that Felipe must have accused me of being from the Will of Elements, but he didn't tell anyone that he could synthesize carbamide. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been killed by a senior-rank sorcerer, and all the sorcerers who studied Necromancy and Element would be very excited about it. So Felipe is trying to synthesize other living substances? But he's even more powerful than I thought. He even escaped from a senior-rank sorcerer … "
Katrina was a bit interested in the mysterious Professor, so she asked what Lucien wanted to know, "Mr. Lazar, who is Professor from the Will of Elements?"
"Mr. Professor's existence was confirmed by Grand Arcana Hathaway, but she didn't mention who he was," said Lazar.
Lucien was a bit embarrassed. Was he exposed? After the directors of the Will of Elements discussed with each other, they would definitely find out that there was no Professor in their organization. Although there were some people who did good deeds without leaving their names, there was no need for them to hide such things. After all, it was normal for them to stand out and get the glory that they deserved.
Therefore, they would try to ask the big shots behind the scenes. As for Hathaway, who paid close attention to Natasha, the time and place of Professor's appearance had already explained everything. However, it seemed that Hathaway wanted to cover it up for some special reasons.
Because of the discussion, the apprentices were no longer nervous, and the carriage became lively. They were either listening to Lucien and Lazar talking about the Congress of Magic, or talking about what they had seen on the way.
Time flew in the lively atmosphere. Annick looked out of the window and his mouth was wide open, "It … It's flying!"
Under Lucien's teaching, Annick, who had become more mature, could not hide his astonishment.
Under Lazar's amused look, Lucien looked out of the window and found that the railway had left the ground and was floating in the air, extending upward, while the magic steam train was still running on the railway.
The forests, fields, manors, and cities below were getting smaller and smaller, like ants.
"Anti-gravitational field. There's an anti-gravitational field set up on the railway near Allyn." Seeing that Lucien turned around, Lazar answered before he asked, "But it can only be set up near Allyn, or the Congress of Magic will go bankrupt …"
The apprentices squeezed to the window and watched the train moving fast in the blue sky. The black spot in front of them was getting bigger and bigger, and it was a huge city floating in the air!
It was a mountain cut in the middle, with its head facing down and its cross section facing upwards. On the top of the mountain, there were gardens, woods, streets, countless common buildings, and many magic towers of different styles. The city was about half the size of Aalto.
This was the headquarter of the Congress of Magic, the City in the Sky, Allyn!
"Wow!"
"This is spectacular!"
… …
While the apprentices were praising, Lazar smiled and said, "You'll have plenty of chances to appreciate it in the future. What you need to consider now is the examination after you arrive at the headquarter of the Congress of Magic. The Congress of Magic will assign you to the appropriate magic school according to your arcana level and inclination. "
"What? There's an examination?!" Heidi, who was shocked by the practice sheets, almost shrieked. The other magic apprentices looked awful, too. They hurried to sit back in their chairs and took out their books to review. They all complained that Mr. Lazar didn't tell them earlier!
Sprint and Katrina were relatively calm. They shook their heads and said to Heidi, "What's there to be scared of? You've been studying arcana for more than a month. "
"I need to review … I need to review …" Heidi murmured to herself and took out her books, completely ignoring them.
The speed of the magic steam train slowed down and it slowly stopped at a station at the edge of Allyn.
At this time, two beautiful girls in light blue standard long dresses walked in with a hardcover notebook in their hands. They said to Lucien and Lazar respectfully, "Dear guests, please leave your comments on this train. If there's any shortcoming, please point it out so that we can collect your suggestions and make improvements. "
Lucien took over the hardcover notebook and the quill. He thought for a while and wrote down two words. Then he handed them to Lazar.
Lazar looked at Lucien's comment curiously, but he was a bit confused.
On the paper, it was written in big letters:
"Good review!" If you like this work, you're welcome to vote for me at qidian.com. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
