Outside the window, Louise saw the green fields and dense forests. Below her was the iron monster that was moving steadily, and in front of her was the delicious black pepper steak. She felt like she was in a dream. After a long and arduous journey to the Kingdom of Holm, everything she saw was so new and so unbelievable!
Apprentices could perform magic on the street without worrying about the Church's interference. The train station was built in the middle of the city so that ordinary people could see it. The giant train that could carry hundreds of people could run so fast and so steadily. Only senior-rank sorcerers and above could use such a high-level alchemical item. The common sense and interests of Allyn were totally different from the ancient magic empire described in books.
If it were not for the fact that the ordinary citizens of the Kingdom of Holm in Padre Harbor were no different from the people of the Duchy of Orvarit except for their conservative style of dress, Louise would have thought that she had come to a new world.
No, this is a new world. From now on, my life has turned over a new page!
Louise stroked her long black hair that cascaded down like a waterfall. Her heart was filled with determination and yearning as she spoke. She was born in an ordinary noble family. Her family had secretly passed on magic for generations, so that the children who could not awaken the Blood of Knight could learn it. In this way, someone could concoct the potion to awaken the Blood of Knight according to the secret formula to ensure that the family's Blood of Knights would never be cut off.
Unfortunately, no matter how safe the measures were, they were no match for fate. Her family had been drafted to participate in the recent war against the heretics in the north. Most of the men had died on the battlefield, while the women had either married or remarried, leaving only her grandfather and herself, who was only a few years old at the time. Therefore, the distant relatives had begun to covet the title and wealth.
Unable to awaken the Blood of Knights by herself, she had to choose the inheritance of magic and learn from a sorcerer recruited by her grandfather.
She was deeply attracted by the brilliance and vastness of the world of magic, but she could only live in fear and had to cover her tracks like a mouse. Until she accidentally found out that the famous musician Silvia was an apprentice named "White Honey", she finally had the idea to cover her identity as a magic apprentice with her rather good musical talent.
Later, she, who had inherited her family's inheritance and secret materials, used the secret materials to exchange for the Silver Moon Potion from her teacher, and advanced to the rank of an official Mage. In order to cover the anomaly of the sorcerer's spiritual waves, she exchanged most of her inheritance and savings from music performances for holy water, activating the Blood Power of Animal Manipulation and becoming a new musician.
But she was still not satisfied, especially when her teacher was severely wounded by the night watchers when he was exploring the relics in the Black Forest. She often woke up in the middle of the night, fearing that the night watchers would show up in her room one day. Therefore, she studied hard and composed music, hoping to be more famous and get to know more great nobles so that she could receive their protection.
"I'm not asking for too much. I just want to live a peaceful life and study magic, but it seems that I can never be satisfied." She always sighed in the middle of the night. At this moment, the arrival of Professor opened the door to a new world and gave her hope. The only regret was that she would have to say goodbye to her favorite music and the Aalto Musicians' associations.
"Miss Louise?" The young sorcerer's confused voice woke Louise up from her memories.
Louise smiled gently, "I'm sorry. I was shocked by the magic steam train and recalled some things. Mr. Pan, please continue with the ranking of the stupidest ways to die in Allyn. It's both interesting and enlightening."
Her voice was sweet and charming, and her temperament was fresh and gentle with a hint of melancholy, which was something that most female sorcerers did not have. Although they were more beautiful than Louise, some of them were intellectual, some of them were elegant, some of them were charming, but few of them had the artistic temperament that was influenced by music like Louise.
Beside them, Klein, whose black hair was standing up neatly, also smiled, "Mr. Pan, I didn't know that so many stupid things could happen in magic experiments, explorations, and life. Hehe, I have to try my best to avoid making such mistakes one day and being laughed at by sorcerers after my death."
Pan, who looked like a typical Holm man, looked at Louise evasively and said with a bright smile, "We're almost in Allyn. There's no time to talk about these things. Why don't I invite you to dinner after you settle down so that we can continue to share the interesting stories of the Congress?"
He was talking to Louise, Klein, 'Flame' Zapatero, and 'Hanger' Ricardo, who had been distracted since he saw Heidler. Some of the apprentices in Aalto's circle did not leave, and some died on the way. In the end, only two sorcerers and two apprentices arrived at Sturk.
Originally, Stuart only sent sorcerers and selected apprentices here, but Hanger and Flame pretended to be Philosopher's apprentices and were sent here together.
"Are we almost in Allyn?" Louise looked at the sky outside the window, but she could not see the shadow of the city.
Pan smiled and pointed at the sky, "It's above the clouds. You can't see it directly."
Louise nodded and looked back. After a moment of hesitation, she asked with a smile, "Mr. Pan, can I ask you something?"
"Louise, you don't have to be so polite. Just call me Pan. What's the matter?" Pan changed the way he addressed Louise.
For some reason, Louise asked nervously, "Pan, do you know a man in the Congress whose code name is' Professor '?" Since he was on the Cleansing List, this man should be quite famous in Allyn.
Philosopher, Hanger, and the rest of the sorcerers immediately focused their eyes on Pan. They were most familiar with this Mr. Professor in the Congress.
"Mr. Professor. He was once famous because of his name on the Cleansing List. He belonged to the 'Will of Elements' organization that I mentioned just now. However, most sorcerers do not know his real identity. I don't know who he is, either." Pan shook his head.
Klein and the rest of the sorcerers were a bit disappointed, "Then have you guessed who he is?"
When Pan was about to answer, the apprentices suddenly exclaimed. Klein and the rest of the sorcerers also turned around and looked out of the window. They saw that the railway was floating up, and the train was running fast in the sky. The fields, forests, and cities below were getting smaller and smaller, like dense ants.
"This … This is a miracle …" Having spent most of his life in Aalto under the influence of the Church, Klein could not help but say 'miracle'. Not far away, half of a mountain floating upside down in the sky, many magic towers, colorful gardens, dense forests, and spacious cities seemed to be the only word that could describe them as' miracles'.
"Welcome to Allyn." Pan bowed with his left hand on his chest.
Louise murmured with her eyes blurred, "Is this Allyn …?"
After filling in the comments and getting off the magic steam train, Pan led the sorcerers to the headquarter on a coach.
While enjoying the street view and marveling at the strange alchemical items and non-human races, they soon arrived at the magic tower of Allyn and suffered from Prospell's' noise pollution '.
"The alchemical life is so amazing … He's like a …" Louise did not say the word 'pervert'. Although she was flirted with by Prospell, she still praised the alchemical life like a country bumpkin who just came to the city.
"When I become a senior-rank and have my own magic tower, I'll be able to create an alchemical life." Pan looked forward to the bright future with a smile, although he knew very well that the sixth circle was an unrealistic dream for most of the low-rank sorcerers.
"Senior-rank …" Klein and the rest of the sorcerers all had mixed feelings. It meant that their lives would be greatly prolonged, and they would have all kinds of powerful means. It even meant the possibility of changing into a younger body.
Pan glanced at the white wolf that was looking around the silver hall by Louise's feet. "Louise, your pet is really smart. Why don't you take it to the Task Zone and apply for a 'breeding experiment'? I believe that the sorcerers who study bloodlines, transformations, and pets will be happy to accept it, and you'll also get precious arcana points."
Louise did not expect that they could talk about this openly. She blushed, "In Aalto, large animals like this are all castrated in case they cause damage when they're in heat …"
The white wolf buried its head in its paws, not daring to face the sorcerers.
"What a shame, but you can also apply for the task of 'Limb Regeneration Experiment Materials'. Although you'll suffer a lot, you'll make up for it eventually …" Pan proposed. "Alright, let's talk about this later. I'll take the apprentices to the Examination Department first, and then I'll take you to the Sorcerer Administrative Department."
"No problem." Klein stared at the silver hall, which was totally different in style from the Truth Church and the noble's mansion, as well as the magical elevator.
Louise also looked around curiously like a newborn bird. After a few steps, she heard a vague voice, "… Although Lucien Evans is very talented …"
Lucien Evans? She turned around abruptly and looked at the sorcerers who were discussing something in the middle of the hall. She suspected that she had misheard, but Klein, Hanger, and Flame were all looking at each other in confusion, which told her that she was not hallucinating.
Could it be that they had the same name?
"… Since he joined the Congress, he has never made any mistakes in arcana and magic. I didn't expect that he would stubbornly insist on the ridiculous hypothesis of light quantum. What a pity …"
"Arcana and Magic are going to be published soon, and I heard that there are no accurate experiments to prove it. Can we write an article to analyze the contradictions of this hypothesis?"
"Let's wait and see … I'm afraid that Lucien Evans's reputation is going to be ruined …"
"No, I don't think so. Which grand arcanist hasn't made mistakes? But I hate the supporters of the particle theory! "
…
This Lucien Evans seemed to be a senior-rank arcanist, and there was no telling how long he had lived … Louise let out a sigh and asked Pan, who was also listening to the discussion attentively, "Pan, is this Lucien Evans very famous?"
"Mr. Evans is a genius arcanist who won the highest honors in three different fields before he became a senior-rank." Pan said with obvious admiration and anger.
"Mr. Evans?" Klein had heard about the three committees from Pan before.
Pan nodded slightly, "The only member of the Arcana Review Board who is only a fifth-circle sorcerer."
"Sounds like a legend." Louise smiled sweetly, her voice full of admiration and yearning.
When Pan was about to answer, he suddenly pointed at the door and said, "Mr. Evans is here."
Louise, Klein, and the rest of the arcanists looked at where Pan was pointing, and they were all stunned. Their mouths were slightly opened, and they forgot to close them.
Surrounded by a group of young men and women who were younger than twenty, there was a young man of medium height wearing a double-breasted black suit. His hands were in his pockets, and he was wearing a top hat of the same color. There was a monocle hanging over his left eye. His facial features were well-defined, and he looked gentle and elegant.
"Mr. … Mr. Evans …" Louise murmured as if she were in a dream.
Wasn't this the great musician, the late Angel of Music Lucien Evans?
Even though he had changed his clothes!
