Hearing what Benedict III said, Kritonia was silent for a moment. Then, he said, "Your Holiness, I will help the Original Fire in secret to clear my guilt of being deceived by Sardes. I hope that the Church can send someone to rescue the direct members of my family in the future."
'Original Fire' was the legendary class of 'Night Executioner'. The South Church preferred to call the night watchers by their code name, but the outsiders were more used to calling them by their class name.
"I've sensed your repentance. I believe that the Lord will be delighted too. After the time is over, I'll ask Vaharall to send night watchers to rescue your family. By then, I'll grant you the title of duke again and the territory near the Holy City." Said Benedict III peacefully.
Although Kritonia was a level-three legendary expert himself, he was much more likely to be attacked. Renstadt was guarded by Hathaway, Davey, Winston and other legendary experts in turns, and Allyn, the headquarters of the Congress of Magic, was nearby. It was not easy for him to rescue them. He even suspected that Natasha imprisoned the direct members of his family in order to lure him to rescue them. It was possible that a dangerous trap had been set up in the place that would attract the joint attack of many legendary sorcerers. Therefore, the cooperation of other forces was necessary. Also, he had to wait until the enemy was most vigilant.
Therefore, Kritonia put on a smile after receiving the pope's promise. "Your magnanimity is truly admirable."
"With you and 'Night Executioner' working together, I can already see Lucien Evans' ending. However, he will certainly be heavily protected by the Congress of Magic. You must be careful. The Lord tells us that the living legendary experts are much more important than the dead ones." Benedict III expressed his appreciation for Kritonia. Then, he said with mixed feelings, "I don't think we can get anything good out of this. You can hide in the north for now. I'll ask 'Night Executioner' to reach out to you."
He, on the other hand, was going to return to the Holy City and issue a decree to ban magic radios for the time being.
Before that, although he had recognized the influence of radio stations on people's thoughts, he did not know that it could be so powerful. If the ordinary believers were influenced by such things for a long time, they would deviate more and more from their faith and fall into hell.
However, Benedict III also knew that such things could not be banned for a long time, especially after the Church's strength declined and its control over the nobles was weakened again. They would certainly pursue such extravagant and elegant enjoyment. Therefore, he only wanted to control it for a short period of time and take the opportunity to establish 'Road of Redemption', a radio station that belonged to the Church, as well as deploy divine power circles to monitor electromagnetic signals in the major cities.
Kritonia said solemnly, "Yes, Your Holiness."
The faint silhouette in his hand disappeared, leaving only a faint light spot.
Looking at the light spot, Kritonia heaved a sigh. Before, the legendary Knight among nobles had great autonomy over orders and missions, and he didn't need to do anything to help the night watchers eliminate an eighth-circle sorcerer. But right now, one wrong step led to many wrong steps …
"I can only create my own light on this path …" Kritonia turned around and left too.

Inside a villa at the suburb of Allyn …
As a member of the Atom Institution, how could Blake not understand the value of the discovery of neutrons? It meant that the internal model of the atom built by the new alchemy was basically valid, and it meant that the sorcerers who were good at elements and could change their cognitive world would welcome a golden age of rapid improvement. After Mr. Brook established the classic electromagnetism system, the school of electromagnetism had developed from a minor field of electromagnetism into one of the four most powerful schools in the Congress of Magic in only a hundred years. Also, there were signs that the school of light and darkness, another school, had been integrated.
"The discovery of neutrons has strengthened the existence of particles. When some legendary sorcerer or senior-rank arcanist modifies the meditation method in the direction of photons, my spiritual power and my soul will be greatly improved … In fact, even if they haven't appeared yet, as long as my cognitive world is closer to reality, I will soon have the chance to reach the third circle." Blake thought to himself with a big smile on his face. He was very excited.
After Raventi, Gaston, Chloe and Lexi Carter proposed the theory of the irregular motion of molecules in liquids and explained the nature of the phenomenon rather perfectly, the problem of whether or not atoms really existed was confirmed. The arcanists who believed in the theory of energy essence would no longer question the loopholes in the past. As a result, the strength of the sorcerers of the school of elements such as Blake was slightly improved.
Ding, ding, ding. Bells echoed in his pocket. Blake hurried to take out a mobile communication item and pressed the button at the center of the box.
"Hey, Blake, did you listen to Mr. Evans' speech just now?" Alfalia asked, her voice still shivering.
Blake also replied uncontrollably, "I did. Tonight is truly a night of miracles! Two theoretical systems that will change the era have been established! "
"Don't be so impulsive. Although the theory of relativity has been proved by phenomena, it only means that the algorithm is correct. It doesn't mean that the derivation of the algorithm is correct. We have to wait for the gentlemen of the Arcana Review Board to review it. Of course, personally, I'm willing to believe in the explanation of the nature of gravity." Alfalia tried to be objective and calm, but in the end, she still couldn't help but express her admiration.
In his excitement, Blake became straightforward and talkative. He chuckled and said, "I doubt that the gentlemen of the Arcana Review Board can understand the paper on the general theory of relativity. It may need to be reviewed by the grand arcanists."
"I think so, too. I couldn't understand Mr. Evans' brief description at all … Hu. I can't wait for dawn now so that I can go to the cyclotron to verify the existence of neutrons …" Alfalia was still basically clear-headed and rational. Such an experiment had to be verified in person. However, due to the limitation of her level, she did not have the more advanced magic circles and alchemical devices such as the cyclotron at home.
Reminded by her, Blake also looked at the Allyn magic tower passionately. "I think I'll lose sleep … After the existence of neutrons is verified, there will be three pillars in the field of arcana: Mr. Brook's electromagnetism theory, Mr. Evans' relativistic system that includes Mr. President's theory, and the new alchemy system …"
"Yes, but we have to address him as Mr. Evans now." Alfalia chuckled.
Blake replied in an unsteady voice, "Yes, Mr. Evans!"
… …
Since they were on the top floor of the magic tower, Lucien, Samantha and the rest of them soon noticed the astronomical changes in Renstadt.
"Chaos of elements, illusion of atomic model … Is it Raventi, Donald, or Morris?" Fernando put down the paper and walked to the window.
In Renstadt, the three archmages were the only ones who were close to the half-solidification of their cognitive world in the field of elements.
Lucien also stood up and stood next to his teacher. He smiled and said, "Whoever it is, it's a success for the Congress."
That being said, Lucien secretly hoped that it was Raventi or Morris.
"It's also your success. The existence of neutrons should've been verified." Hellen's voice was cold and refreshing but not indifferent, as if she were welcoming the falling snow in winter when she was wearing warm clothes.
She believed that whether it was Raventi, Donald, or Morris, they must've verified the existence of neutrons several times in person before they finally accepted the existence of neutrons and changed their cognitive world.
Since the two grand arcanists were talking, Samantha and the rest of them could only congratulate Lucien with their eyes. The discovery of neutrons meant the establishment of the new alchemy system, and it also meant a Holm Crown Ring. As long as the general theory of relativity passed the review, Lucien would definitely win the Arcana Scepter award. However, none of that mattered. What mattered was that Lucien Evans would definitely be crowned as a grand arcanist after tomorrow!
"Congratulations, Mr. Evans." Samantha said in her heart.
After the astronomical changes stopped, Fernando said to Lucien, "Follow me to Hellen's library."
Lucien nodded and walked behind the two grand arcanists in silence. When they entered Hellen's library, Lucien immediately saw Oliver who was trying to open the lock.
He nodded. "Congratulations, Lucien, the new grand arcanist!"
Then, he put on a relaxed smile. "Your explanation on the nature of gravity has ended the panic this time. I also sensed that Mr. President was trying to open the demiplane inside. It seems that he did not do it voluntarily, and there must've been other problems in the conversation. Well, with the help of a few legends, perhaps the lock of the Land of Truth will be lifted in a day and a half."
Hearing that Mr. President was still alive and blocked by the Church, Lucien was greatly relieved. Hellen and Fernando were also more or less relieved.
"Perhaps your general theory of relativity can help Douglas find the path to become a demigod, but I'm afraid that he will have to study 'Nature'." The moment Fernando was relaxed, his irritation was gone, and he began to joke. Then, before Lucien replied, he said, "The discovery of neutrons proves that the basic model and direction of the new alchemy are correct. Although there may be parts that need to be modified and perfected, it will not stop you from being awarded the title of grand arcanist, the subsequent reward credits for the new alchemy, and a legendary item of the Congress of Magic with it."
Since the title of grand arcanist could be awarded for every theoretical system that changed the era, the legendary items seemed to be specially rewarded for grand arcanists.
"Can I choose one tomorrow?" Lucien's money-grubber side popped out again.
Fernando shook his head. "The Highest Council has reached a consensus that the discovery of neutrons will grant you the title of grand arcanist for the new alchemy. After Hellen verifies your experiment, she will immediately open the treasury of the Congress of Magic and let you choose one. This time, you disrupted Benedict III's scheme with the explanation of the nature of gravity and demonstrated the value of the new alchemy. I'm worried that he will send legendary experts to deal with you. So, the sooner you get a legendary item, the sooner your safety will be guaranteed. "
"Alright." How could Lucien turn down such a great opportunity?
Fernando continued, "Your general theory of relativity will be reviewed by me and other arcanists who can understand it. If there are no major problems, it will certainly be a great achievement that will change the era, and you will get a legendary item. However, I suggest that you choose the ritual of 'Origin of Magic' instead of an item."
He planned to ask the Prophet and other arcanists of Tower who were adept at mathematics to review it together with himself and Douglas.
"What ritual is that?" Lucien had never heard of such a ritual before. It seemed that only the members of the Highest Council were allowed to know it.
Fernando nodded his head. "You naturally joined the Highest Council after you became a grand arcanist. You're authorized enough to know it in advance. This ritual of 'Origin of Magic' is to support the 'legendary advancement ritual'. It requires the guidance of spiritual power provided by six legendary sorcerers in different positions of the hexagram, together with rare materials that are as good as legendary items as the foundation. It is designed for the ninth-circle archmages whose soul and spiritual power are insufficient to make a breakthrough. Every time it is held, one fifth of the treasury of the Congress of Magic will be emptied. "
"Your cognitive world has half-solidified. Also, you have a legendary class that is almost 100% compatible with you and the legendary spell models that have been carved in your cognitive world. Even though you have just advanced into the ninth circle, it will be quite possible for you to take the risk and use this ritual to help you advance. Once you become a legendary sorcerer, it will be very difficult to kill you. You won't be locked in Allyn or Renstadt anymore."
"Okay. Stabilize your harvest first. When you advance into the ninth circle in a couple of years, you can use this ritual to help you."
Because Lucien had been advancing too fast without a solid foundation, Fernando believed that it would take at least ten years for his student to advance into legendary after he advanced into the ninth circle without the help of the ritual. During such a long time, mistakes could easily be made.
Lucien bared his teeth. "Master, I'm already in the ninth circle."
Huh? Fernando didn't seem to hear him clearly. Hellen and Oliver turned around and looked at him too.
