Klein's brain seemed to have turned into paste, and the memories flashed in his mind uncontrollably, such as when he asked about Lucien Evans, Professor was the one who took action in the Melzer Black Forest incident, but it was Lucien Evans who benefited from it, Professor came to him in the middle of the night, Clown's plan, Lucien Evans, the great musician who died in the end, and so on. His memories were like scattered pearls that were connected by Lucien Evans, a member of the Arcana Review Board who appeared in the hall of the Headquarters of the Magic Council.
He was more than eighty percent sure that Lucien Evans was the knowledgeable Mr. Professor!
"Prof … Evans …" Klein changed the way he addressed Lucien, but his voice was getting lower and lower. Klein closed his mouth tightly, because he suddenly had a strong fear in his heart. Did Lucien Evans, a member of the Arcana Review Board, want his hidden identity to be exposed? Did he want to see Klein and the others?
As the consul of Aalto, the City of Psalm for more than ten years, Lucien was very cautious, especially when he was facing powerful and influential people.
Hearing Louise's dreamy call, Pan looked at her in surprise, "Do you know Mr. Evans?"
"Isn't … Isn't he dead?" Both Hanging Man Ricardo and Flame Zapatero exclaimed in a low voice.
Dead? They had seen Mr. Evans die? Wait a minute. They were from Aalto, where a Lucien Evans had passed away and held a grand funeral. It was said that Mr. Evans' hometown was Aalto. Could it be?
Pan remembered the conversation on the magic steam train, and he also looked at Lucien with his mouth half open. Was he the genius musician? The great musician whose every work was highly popular in the Kingdom of Holm and in Allyn?
Although Ode to Joy was a semi-religious music and was not popular in Allyn because it praised the Angel of Joy, Pan knew very well that many sorcerers were secretly very fond of this music, especially the beautiful song. Pan himself was one of them.
They seemed to be about the same age … However, no matter how Pan looked at Mr. Evans, who was obsessed with arcana exploration and magic research and was passionate about developing alchemical items to make money, did not look like an elegant musician with unparalleled musical talent. Was there something wrong? Did Louise and the rest of them mistake Lucien for someone else?
Louise was awakened by the voices of Hanging Man Ricardo and the rest of them. She looked at Lucien in confusion, and at the same time, she closed her mouth. Lucien and her. Like Klein the sage, as a sorcerer who had been in Aalto for so many years without being turned into a spy or being killed by the Church.
At this time, Louise saw that Lucien slightly tilted his head and then turned around. Putting on a gentle and elegant smile, Lucien nodded slightly and whispered something to the young guys and girls. Then, Lucien walked to them unhurriedly.
"Mr. … Mr. Evans." Klein was the first to come back to himself. He bowed respectfully.
Klein's pupils suddenly constricted. He clearly saw that Lucien was wearing three badges on his left chest, one with six silver stars on a black background, one with five black circles on a silver background, and one with a quill in his hand. He had already heard what it meant from Pan!
Lucien smiled and said, "You're finally here. Thank you for the long journey."
Louise and the rest of them were shocked. Lucien had just admitted that he was the professor?
"It's all thanks to Mr. … Mr. Evans for showing us the way." Klein was the first one to return to normal.
Lucien looked around and asked, "Only the few of you?"
At this time, Louise also calmed down. She looked at Lucien with complicated feelings and said in fear, "We ran into quite a few dangers on our way. The closer we got to Stuart, the tighter the blockade became. I saw quite a few magic apprentices killed by night watchers or priests."
"There should be many more who haven't arrived in Stuart yet. They have a lot of considerations and can't set off as soon as we can." Klein added.
Unlike Louise and Klein, one of them was familiar with the great musician, and the other had worked with the professor before. Therefore, they remained silent in this strange place and listened attentively.
"Mr. Evans, who are they?" Heidi, who was curious, followed Lucien with Annick and the rest of the students.
Lucien pointed at Klein and Louise and said, "They're my friends from Aalto. They're also here."
Lucien then pointed at Annick and the rest of the students and said, "They're my students, Annick, Heidi, Layria, Sprint, and Katrina. They're working for me in the Atom Institution, but they've been living in my home for some time now."
In front of outsiders, Lucien did not deliberately distinguish between real students and students whom he occasionally tutored, which made Heidi very happy.
After greeting each other, Heidi asked curiously, "Sister Louise, what's Mr. Evans' life like in Aalto? Every time I ask him, he just smiles and does not answer. "
Louise looked at Lucien awkwardly and opened her mouth, but she did not know how to answer. Her female intuition and interest made her notice that Lucien was wearing three beautiful and unique rings.
"Mr. … Mr. Evans, are you the great musician from Aalto?" Pan's heart was filled with curiosity, and he finally blurted out the question. Previously, he had deeply regretted the untimely death of a music master, and felt melancholy that there were no more classic works to be passed down.
Huh? Annick from the Duchy of Orvarit and Heidi from Syracuse thought that they had misheard Pan's question. The two Evans that left the deepest impression on them were the same person?
"The great musician is already dead. I'm Lucien Evans, the Demon of Origin." Lucien answered half-jokingly, and by the way, he dispelled their doubts. Professor's ranking at the bottom of the Cleansing List was nothing compared to his real name. The synthetic carbamide experiment had been over for years, and it was not a big deal to expose it.
So, he admitted it? Pan looked at Louise and saw that she slightly nodded. He was both surprised and delighted, "It's really you? I'm your loyal supporter. It's great that you're still alive! I wonder if there's a chance to hold a concert in Allyn? "
He temporarily forgot about Lucien's light quantum hypothesis and his identity as a supporter of the particle theory.
"Maybe …" Lucien did not have such an idea right now. He was not in a hurry to improve his status in Aalto, nor did he have a girl who he liked around him. What was the point of holding a concert?
"Okay, I'm looking forward to it." Pan said excitedly.
"Me too!" It was the first time that Annick spoke so loudly. When he was studying alone, when he was struggling to move forward in Orvarit, when he was about to give up, it was Fate that gave him the strength!
Layria, Heidi, and Katrina slightly blushed. When they were young, they listened to the moving music and imagined that the talented musician Lucien Evans was one of the elegant princes. Even though they had only seen his blurry profile in the newspaper, the wonderful music always gave them endless reverie. But now, Lucien Evans had suddenly become their own teacher, which made them feel a bit weird and ashamed. Fortunately, they had never talked about this topic in front of Mr. Evans …
"Demon of Origin? Is that your new code name, Mr. Evans? "Louise asked boldly. Seeing that Lucien was kind and amiable, she did not show any alienation or indifference.
Heidi answered proudly, "Sister Louise, although the code name given by the Church is deliberately unpleasant, it doesn't change the fact that Mr. Evans is the fifty-third on the Cleansing List!"
Fifty-third? Klein, Louise, and the rest of them felt that they were listening to a myth. Over the past half year, they had not seen the Cleansing List for a long time because of the arduous journey. They had no idea when the Demon of Origin came out of nowhere. What kind of earth-shattering event did he do to deserve such a high ranking? If they remembered correctly, the Demon of Origin was almost in the range of legendary experts!
After his identity was revealed, they thought that they had seen through Lucien Evans, but now they realized that this young man who always wore a gentle smile was even more terrifying and mysterious than they thought!
Seeing that more and more sorcerers were slowing down, Lucien smiled and said, "You can go and register first. Let's talk later."
Then, Lucien suddenly thought of something, "Klein, Louise, I wonder if you're interested in working part-time with me?"
"Part-time?" Louise did not know how she could help Mr. Evans, who was so powerful.
Lucien briefly mentioned, "I'm planning a program called 'Arcana Voice'. I'm planning to create some short and simple music that is close to the people, to the farmers, and to the ordinary people. I hope that you can share my burden, Louise. There are not many sorcerers in the Congress who are both talented in music and have time."
Louise was a bit confused. She did not know what Arcana Voice was, nor did she know what a program was. However, it was not a bad idea to continue her hobby of music when she was studying magic. So she nodded and said, "I have no problem with that."
"Mr. Klein, you've been in charge of the City of Psalm before, so you should know more about the lives of the believers and the 'secrets' of the Church. I hope that you can host a program that talks about them." Lucien smiled and said to Klein, "Rest assured. The Congress will give you more arcana points."
Klein did not hesitate, "I have no problem with that, either."
"Very good. After you register, go to my office in the Review Board and wait for me there." Lucien did not waste their time. He led Heidi and the rest of them to the elevator and went to the Atom Institution.
… …
In a desolate graveyard in Heidler, the gray fog was so hazy that it seemed to be frozen.
Adol looked at the magic towers far away and said gloomily, "We have to find a way to stop the Congress from investigating further, or the gap will be exposed sooner or later."
A new specter next to him looked at him in confusion, "You seem to have an idea, Adol?"
Adol nodded, "You've seen the new issue of Arcana, haven't you? Lucien Evans started a war and was criticized and attacked by the supporters of the wave theory. "
"What's the connection?" asked the new senior-rank specter confusedly.
Adol's voice was dry and hoarse, "I learned from Rogelio that two weeks ago, a sorcerer of the school of electromagnetism who supported the wave theory sent an anonymous letter threatening to kill Lucien's friends and students. The sorcerer was killed by Lucien because of his extreme reaction. I believe that the sorcerers who support the wave theory will be infuriated after hearing the news. We'll guide the most furious ones in secret and let them attack for real, completely infuriating Lucien. Hehe, with his temper, he'll definitely come back for revenge. "
"By then, Fernando, Hathaway, Douglas and the rest of the arcanists who support Lucien on one side, and Brook, Oliver, Hellen and Miranda who oppose him on the other side. The Congress of Magic will be mired in unprecedented civil strife and will have no time to pay attention to Heidler."
The new specter's skeleton said crisply, "That's a very good idea."
After the discussion, the two specters quietly returned to the magic tower.
At this time, in the desolate graveyard, a few pieces of rotten flesh without any vitality suddenly wriggled and twisted into the shape of bugs, disappearing from where they were.
In a newly built magic tower in Heidler, Felipe opened his palm and looked at the rotten bugs that popped out. There was a rare hesitation on his cold and pale face.
Although his arcana studies had been stagnant due to the underdeveloped observation methods, Felipe had made great achievements in magic creation.
"The World of Souls is already so dangerous and weird. Why should I continue to trust them and cooperate with them?" Felipe thought of the scene in the crimson moon and looked at the entrance of the two demiplanes in confusion, "What are you two thinking, Your Excellencies?"
"… Anyway, compared to the World of Souls, the Congress is more trustworthy. As a new senior-rank, I may not be able to get any benefits from the World of Souls. Instead, I'll be in great danger …" Felipe, who overheard the conversation between the two specters, soon made a decision in his heart. He took out a letter and said to himself,
"Lucien Evans is really crazy. How dare he propose such a ridiculous theory? I'm going to write a letter to refute him!"
