After closing the door of Smail's room, Lucien focused his spiritual power and changed the structure and frequency of the weak spiritual power mark on Doro the owl, making it disappear directly. As soon as Lucien left, Smail would definitely check Doro carefully to find out why it was being followed. Lucien did not want his unique spiritual power to be discovered and cracked so soon.
Still carefully walking to the back door, Lucien cast Silent Portal and Switch again and quietly left the Copper Crown Tavern. Then he took a big detour and returned to his room.
Lying on the bed, Lucien felt a bit relieved. In Aalto, where the Church was powerful, encountering a fellow apprentice was like facing a storm together with someone. Lucien did not have to walk alone anymore. "They're all apprentices. I wonder how many sorcerers are left in Aalto."
…
In the next few days, Lucien lived a very regular life. He would get up in the morning, exercise for an hour, and then go to the library to work. Sometimes he would read religious classics and travel notes, sometimes he would read music theory, memorize finger techniques, and sometimes he would analyze the structure of spells and magic circles in the Library of the Soul.
Although Pieroux was a wretched person, he was a very quiet young man when he was immersed in the world of music. He would not disturb Lucien at all. During this time, Wolf was invited to play in the territory of a certain Count, so he did not come to the library. The other musicians and musicians were not friends with Victor, but they were not enemies either. They did not have time to give Lucien a hard time. Therefore, Lucien lived a very leisurely life.
His only regret was that he didn't get to see Ms. Silvia, the "Musical Lily". She was a twenty-four-year-old unmarried musician, and Piero was very fond of her looks. He described her as a gentle and elegant goddess. Lucien did not covet her. He was just very curious about Pieroux's fanatical attitude. Unfortunately, Sylvia was good at the harpsichord. She often appeared in the piano rooms of many noble ladies and rarely came to the Musicians' associations.
In the afternoon, because of the good results, Lucien's learning time was shortened to one hour. Then, like Lot and Phyllis, he read music and read music theory. At four o 'clock, he began to practice piano for two hours. Lucien's tenacity and stubbornness were fully displayed in this matter. He would not stop until he was satisfied. When the practice was over, Lucien would sigh. Playing the piano was really a physical work. It made him sweat all over, and his arms and fingers were very sore.
In the evening, Lucien would study and study magic. He would not be distracted by anything.
On Friday evening, when he went to Auntie Alisa's house for dinner, Lucien noticed that there were a few simple drawings in an inconspicuous corner of the wall next door.
"Saturday evening, ten o 'clock. Wait for me in front of the sixth abandoned house in the easternmost part of Aderon. Owl. "
"Owl" was Smail's code name.
After a casual glance, Lucien understood the content of the drawings. His expression did not change, and he still walked steadily into Auntie Alisa's house.
…
At 9: 30 the next evening, the gentle Silver Moon and the bright stars were covered by dark clouds. The night was dark and depressing.
Lucien put on his hooded black robe and checked the location and quantity of the magic materials. He put on the ring, Ice Avenger, on his left index finger and carefully sensed the surroundings. Then he carefully walked out of the house and disappeared into the darkness.
In the damp, warm wind, Lucien spent twenty minutes walking to the easternmost part of Aderon and found the abandoned house.
Lucien hurriedly looked at the tall willow tree next to the house. He saw Smail standing in the shadow of the willow tree, also in a black robe. However, Smail had taken off his hood so that Lucien could recognize him. The owl, Doro, was casually standing on the willow tree, observing the surroundings and guarding the party inside.
"Mr. Professor, it's our pleasure to have you here." Smail put on his hood to cover his face, and his voice was full of joy, "I've told my friends about you. They're very happy and want to ask you to teach them some difficult magic problems. Of course, we'll pay for your help."
"Difficult magic problems? It seems that they still don't believe that I'm a real sorcerer. " Lucien was amused. Although Lucien did not know how big the gap between him and a real sorcerer was, he was sure that he was better than most of the apprentices in this field. "Okay. But I'm better at Astrology and Element magic. If you want to ask me these questions, I think I can answer them."
Hearing Lucien's confidence, Smail was even more convinced that he was a real sorcerer, "Mr. Professor, please follow me."
Smail's black robe was hard to distinguish in the dark, but the abandoned house was only a dozen steps away. Lucien easily followed Smail to the door.
Five seconds later, the wooden door slowly opened. A man in the same black robe was standing in the shabby house, "Owl, is this Mr. Professor?"
Smail's voice was hard to pronounce, and it was obvious that he had deliberately changed his voice.
"Yes." Smail replied in the same low voice, "Mr. Professor, this is Fire Wolf."
Lucien nodded his head with his hooded head, "Nice to meet you." His left hand was hidden in his sleeve, ready to launch the Ice Avenger.
After entering the small living room and passing through another door, they arrived at the storage room, where there was a staircase leading downwards.
"Basement!" Lucien suddenly realized why he insisted on building a magic lab in the sewer. He could have built a small basement by himself. After all, there was more than just the sewer under the ground.
By then, he could do some experiments and practice spells in the basement, which would not cause too much noise and magic waves. As for those experiments that would cause too much noise, he could find a remote place in Melzer Black Forest and build a complete underground lab there, where he could do experiments once a week.
The basement was not big. There were eleven low stools and a long table in the middle. Two candles were burning on the table. The flickering yellow flame cast a gloomy light on the eight magic apprentices who were wearing black robes and hoods.
After Lucien carefully walked down the stairs, Fire Wolf and Smail closed the door and followed him down.
Smail stood up and glanced at the apprentices, "Ladies and gentlemen, this is Mr. Professor, a real sorcerer. He's very knowledgeable and powerful."
Then he introduced the apprentices to Lucien, "This is White Honey, Morning Star, Reindeer, White Glove, Oak, Sage, Mercury, and Hanger."
Lucien nodded, "Nice to meet all of you. Before we start, can I have a look at that book called Arcana?"
Sage answered in an old voice, "No problem, Mr. Professor. We'll talk among ourselves first. By the way, I've brought you a set of experiment utensils. If you can help me with a magic question later, this set of experiment utensils will be yours. If not, it'll cost you thirty Nars. "
As he spoke, he handed a book with a black leather cover to Lucien.
Lucien took the book, but he did not open it right away. Instead, he carefully read the cover.
In the darkness, there were countless bright silver lines, which formed two words in the common language: "Arcana" and a few thumb-sized words: "Volume 11, Year 790 of Saint Calendar". The words were simple but profound, and the text was written on parchment.
Lucien opened the table of contents and saw twenty-four articles. The first one was "Discussion on the Problems Caused by the Failure of the Fifth Search for Planets". Lucien turned the page without hesitation.
"Mr. Douglas' Gravity Theory can perfectly explain the structure of many force field spells, and even most of the astrology spells. Based on this theory, we've created many new and powerful spells. It's one of the main bases of the force field system in the classic magic system, the Two Majestic Palaces."
"With the help of Gravity Theory, we've summarized the three laws of the motion of planets from the chaotic changes of the stars, which are very useful for the divination spells such as Astrology and Stargazing."
…
"However, there's a very important problem in Mr. Douglas' Gravity Theory that has not been proved yet. Based on Gravity Theory, we can deduce the formula and know that the continent we're on is also on a planet. It's rotating around the sun, and the planets in the sky are also doing the same. Based on the formula of gravity and the formula of the motion of planets, we can accurately calculate the location of these planets. "
"However, when I accurately pinpoint the location and use the space jump spell that I've prepared for a long time, I can't see any planets or the continent we're on."
"Why is that? The planet that should be there waiting for me, the planet that emits gravity, seems to have never existed. In that location, I can feel the gravity as if I'm on the land, but the gravity is too weird to be measured. Where are those planets? "
…
When Lucien learned that the stars in the sky represented fate, he knew that the planets in this world were weird, but he did not expect it to be this weird.
