After arriving at the hill near Allyn, Lucien immediately took out his crystal ball and cast Astrology in the misty sky where the stars were fading and the Silver Moon was setting in the west.
The crystal ball became dim, and the stars lit up one after another. When he saw that the Star of Destiny representing Natasha was still shining brightly, Lucien was finally relieved. As long as Natasha was fine, everything was fine!
Relieved, Lucien finally had the mood to look at the east, where the orange sun was rising and lighting up the clouds.
As a matter of fact, the time difference between the Dark Mountain Range and Allyn was enough to tell that the main material world was spherical, not to mention the existence of the horizon and the sea … Lucien suddenly had this idea.
After using the scroll last time, Lucien confirmed from his teacher, the Lord of Storm, that the space jump only took half an hour. Comparing the Dark Mountain Range with the Silver Moon at dawn and Allyn where the Silver Moon had just set, it was not hard for him to relate it to the time difference.
For that reason, the arcanists had never doubted Douglas' celestial body motion system.
But why can't I see the world or find the planets after I fly into space?
Lucien shook his head and left the question that had troubled the Congress for years behind. He soared into the sky and flew towards Allyn.
Landing at the edge of Allyn, Lucien did not return home but directly cast Acceleration on himself. Making full use of the Blessing of Moonlight, he rushed towards the magic tower of the headquarter of the Congress, leaving a blurred shadow behind him. Taking the elevator, he rushed into his teacher Fernando's library.
Fernando was still wearing the red magic robe. He was holding a magic book and explaining the problems of spells to Alferris, who was holding a thick pen in its paw.
The shrunken Alferris was squatting on the ground, and its height was just above the desk. It was quite comfortable, and Lucien had never seen it before.
"You're back … What happened before dawn had something to do with you?" The moment Lucien entered the magic tower, Fernando knew that he was back. Dozens of minutes ago, the change of the crimson moon happened, and Lucien returned to the Congress. If anyone dared to say that there was no connection between the two, Fernando would definitely roar at him.
"Yes. I summoned Alterna, the God of the Silver Moon, to help a friend get out of trouble. However, Dracula, the Prince of Vampires, interfered, and something unexpected happened. I don't know what happened in the end." What Lucien said was the complete truth, except that he did not mention the World of Souls.
In this way, it seemed that a first-generation vampire was trapped by Dracula, and then Lucien asked him to summon the God of the Silver Moon to remove the seal. However, no one knew that there was a mysterious being behind Dracula, who was strong enough to compete with the Ancestor of the Vampires. Therefore, something unexpected happened.
To be honest, Lucien did not know what exactly happened at that time. He could only make some guesses based on his understanding of the World of Souls. Therefore, it was easy for him to fool the Prince of Vampires by telling the truth.
Of course, it was also risky. If the Prince of Vampires did not make such a big noise and use the Space Jump Scroll instead of the Lord of Storm's demiplane, Lucien would definitely be able to deduce that he was in the Dark Mountain Range at that time. Relying on the characteristics of the Secretive, Lucien did not have to work so hard to find an excuse.
However, after what happened before, Lucien believed that his teacher was still trustworthy. Even if the secret of the World of Souls was discovered, Lucien believed that he would not be killed.
When it came to serious matters, Fernando was always serious and irritable. He knocked on the desk and said, "The Silver-Eyed Earl, the Observer, is trapped, right? Only he can summon the Goddess of Silver Moon, Alterna. Well, this is actually a pretty good opportunity for you. When Alterna arrived, you were probably briefly influenced by her and saw the world from her position. This is a perspective that no one else can provide. After all, Alterna is the existence closest to the 'truth', and every grand arcanist can't avoid her research. This kind of experience may not be enough for you now, but when you step into the realm of legends, it will be a great fortune. "
Fernando, a grand arcanist who pursued truth and truth, was more interested in the unique perspective that Lucien felt when the God of the Silver Moon arrived, compared to the identity of the mysterious existence behind Dracula, what the solidified black, white and grey represented, and where the alternate dimension where both of them were injured and fell into was.
Lucien did not hide it from his teacher, because he did not know much about it at that time. Now that his teacher had provided him with a reference, he might be able to turn it into the accumulation of knowledge and cognition of the world. "It's a perspective where one's soul is elevated, and I seem to have seen a lot of indescribable and vague scenes, like scenes that cover all kinds of development possibilities …"
When the words were on the tip of his tongue, Lucien realized that the experience was too vague and too complicated to be described in words. Only some impressions remained in his mind.
"Elevated, overlooked, development possibilities …" Fernando frowned and guessed, "It's said that when one is close to the 'truth' or the 'gods' as other people call them, one's nature will be improved, and one will be able to see the trajectory of fate directly from another perspective. But it doesn't look like it … Well, it doesn't look like it … Lucien, this kind of harvest belongs to you. Only when you become a legend and encounter similar difficulties will the vague impression be combined with the specific problems become clear."
Obviously, he did not find anything valuable in it either.
Before Lucien answered, Fernando put on a frivolous smile and said, "Speaking of which, I have to thank you. If it weren't for you, the God of the Silver Moon and the mysterious existence wouldn't have both been injured and fallen. As long as we can find the unknown alternate dimension that they crashed into, we will have a good chance of harvesting some 'precious materials' before they wake up and recover, and the most precious' data 'for our almost empty research field. Lucien, you're really the luckiest star of the Congress. "
As Lucien expected, every senior-rank arcanist was a research maniac, and the grand arcanists were the typical examples. Lucien felt that there was still a gap between his understanding and theirs, and he did not think about it at all.
"Master, when can we find the unknown alternate dimension?" Without him knowing, Lucien's tone was mixed with a bit of fanaticism.
"It'll take about three to ten years to find it with astrology when we know it clearly and only have vague visual impressions."
"The Congress will certainly invest a lot of manpower and resources in this regard, because not only us, but also the South Church, the North Church, the Dark Congress and other organizations saw the anomaly. It's about the further mysteries of the top legendary. I believe that they'll all go crazy, and whoever finds it first will have the advantage."
Fernando briefly explained to Lucien, "You don't have to worry about it. Your astrology is still too weak! When the alternate dimension is found, I'll apply to the Highest Council to explore it. By then, if you're willing, you can come with me. "
He mercilessly criticized Lucien's achievements in astrology.
"By the way, what are you doing here in such a hurry?" After Fernando finished speaking, he asked a little doubtfully.
Lucien finally remembered his purpose. He put on a flattering smile, "Master, I want to use your demiplane to jump to the Duchy of Orvarit."
"Didn't you just come back?" Fernando was always conceited, but now he did not understand the logic of his student's thinking.
Lucien hurried to explain, "This time, I asked a friend to distract Prince Dracula. Although I've already confirmed her safety with astrology, it's still better to talk to her face to face. After all, Prince Dracula is also very good at curses and nightmares."
"Her? The little girl from the Hathaway family? " Fernando knew that Lucien and Natasha were good friends, so he nodded slightly, "Do you need me to bring you back?"
"Of course." Lucien suddenly had the illusion that he was being picked up by his parents, and he somehow felt it was funny.
When Fernando stood up and was about to take Lucien to his demiplane, Lucien finally noticed that Alferris was concentrating on "studying" and did not greet him at all. Lucien asked curiously, "Alferris, what are you studying?"
"Alchemy, golem making," Alferris answered without raising its head.
"Why are you studying this? Do you need golems? "Lucien was even more confused. Didn't Alferris always dismantle golems into shiny parts for his collection?
Alferris pretended to be careless and said, "I found that the Congress is encouraging senior-rank sorcerers to study new golems. A seventh-circle sorcerer like me is allowed to receive two free senior-rank materials, but I have to be good at making golems."
When it mentioned the two free materials, Alferris's amber eyes suddenly became bright and scorching.
No wonder, Lucien thought to himself. This was exactly Little Crystal's style!
"Right, boss, I read a legendary story about a hero fighting an evil dragon a while ago." Alferris seemed to have remembered something. It raised its head and smiled obsequiously.
Lucien did not quite understand what it meant. "Huh? You're going to kill the hero?"
"No, boss. Why don't I play the role of the evil dragon, kidnap the princess, and extort her treasures? Then, you can defeat me as the hero and rescue the princess. You will get a great reward, and then we can legally share the reward!" Alferris was so excited that it was almost drooling when it made the proposal. Then, Fernando glared at it and it continued to focus on the study of golem creation.
After another space jump of several minutes, Lucien was brought to his demiplane by Fernando. He finally saw that this was a space that seemed to be always gloomy and full of lightning. His teacher's black magic tower was like an enormous lightning rod, with silver lightning striking the ground nonstop.
Right when Lucien was appreciating the scenery here, Fernando suddenly asked, "Has the Silver Eye Count escaped?"
"Huh?" It was not until then that Lucien realized that he was too busy running, coming up with excuses, and caring about Natasha that he forgot to check on Rhein's situation. He did not know the changes in the World of Souls at all or whether or not Rhein had escaped.
Seeing Lucien's confused face, Fernando chuckled and said, "You are truly in a hurry. You even forgot your original purpose."
However, he also understood Lucien. It was inevitable that he missed something when he met Prince Dracula, who was at the peak of legendary, and such a huge anomaly. So, he shook his head with a smile and brought Lucien to the Melzer Black Forest outside of Aalto again through space jumps.
