With the Robe of Grand Arcanists, Lucien naturally abandoned the robe of "Immortal Throne". The reward from the Hand of Paleness had always been more ornamental than practical, even more so after the ritual of "Life Hiding". The seventh-circle spell that Lucien was more interested in, Decaying Ray, could be built into his soul on his own.
Lucien was not shy at all. After all, he still had a vest and a shirt inside. Lucien put on the magic robe right in front of Hellen after leaving a mark at the pivot of the Robe of Grand Arcanists.
The moment the legendary item was put on, Lucien felt that it was like an enormous swirl that crazily absorbed his spiritual power and shook the environment of meditation. If his cognitive world hadn't been half-solidified, his head might've exploded because of the quakes of his spiritual power.
After a long time, when Lucien's spiritual power was almost exhausted, the absorption finally stopped. The dark magic robe glowed with a layer of vague black light. Then, it turned into a double-breasted suit according to Lucien's will, and the double recovery of his spiritual power began.
Hellen had been silent the whole time, as if she were deep in thought. Like Fernando said, she was not an indifferent person. On the contrary, she was lively and talkative. However, she was barely interested in anything other than arcana and magic studies. She was like an ice goddess on the outside.
"You're done?" She was finally back to herself. "Evans, what mathematical knowledge do I need to know in order to understand your general theory of relativity? Can you give me a list of books?"
"No problem, but I don't know what you've grasped, Ms. Hellen." Lucien felt that his spiritual power was recovering like a spring. His head was clear again.
Hellen shook her head and smiled. "You're a grand arcanist now. There's no need to call me Ms. Hellen. You can write the list as if I know nothing about it. In such a way, I'll know what your mathematical foundation is and make up for what I missed in the past."
"Alright, Hellen." Lucien did not insist on calling her Ms. Hellen. Otherwise, what would the legendary sorcerers who were not grand arcanists do? In any case, the teacher would always be the teacher, the chairman would always be the chairman, and Granny Hathaway would always be Granny Hathaway. This was a personal relationship, and there was no need to consider others.
Hellen closed the door of the room where the legendary items were stored and walked out of the gate with Lucien. "You will take a rest in Fernando's library and wait for Mr. President to come out of the demiplane. He has reviewed your paper with the Prophet."
She was even more demanding than the Lord of Storm. She did not even allow Lucien to go back to her own magic tower and the Atom Institution, in case someone took advantage of the loophole. What happened tonight was mostly because she was too emotional to deal with it in time. Therefore, she was more cautious about Lucien's safety.
Lucien didn't have any objections. "Then I'll inform the butler and Lazar first."
Helen nodded slightly and quickened her pace. She walked in front, indicating that she would not eavesdrop on Lucien's conversation.
Leo did not know much about magic. What happened tonight was quite a shock for him. While trying to reach out to Lucien, he asked Pinocchio to turn on the defense of the magic tower and waited anxiously for his master's reply.
After confirming that Lucien was fine and that Allyn was normal, Leo was finally reassured. Lucien, on the other hand, contacted Lazar.
"Lucien? Oh, I should call you Mr. Evans now! " Lazar said excitedly. "Your explanation of the nature of gravity is so cool. How did you relate it to time and space?"
He obviously did not understand the first part.
Lucien said half-jokingly, "A Mr. Albert told me about it in my dream."
"Haha. You are so humorous." Lazar smiled. "I've always heard that you want to integrate gravity into the special theory of relativity, but I haven't done any research in that regard. How stupid I am! Otherwise, my arcana level would've been improved by one if I had made some ancillary tools! "
His arcana credits were approaching level five. Thanks to the new alchemy and the elements, his magic level was close to breakthroughs, too.
Lucien tapped the surface of his suit. "I find it strange too. I asked you to focus on the special theory of relativity, but none of you did anything except for Annick and the other students who were supervised by me."
Lazar laughed dryly. "The transformation of time, space, energy, mass, and frame of reference is not so easy to understand. I've been studying hard, but I haven't made much progress. However, the special theory of relativity is like a cute child compared to the general theory of relativity. I'll keep studying it."
"Just now, your students almost went crazy in excitement, but they couldn't reach out to you. They almost broke my monocle. They are now completely worshipping and admiring you."
Lucien pinched his lips. "That's not a good thing in arcana. I love my teacher, but I love truth more. Lazar, I have to help my teachers review the papers in the next few days, so I won't be able to come to the institution. You will be responsible for the daily operations. "
Lazar agreed quickly. Then, he said solemnly, "Please allow me to forget that we are friends for now. I pay tribute to your great achievement that is beyond genius and era. You have opened up a path for the development of arcana and dispersed the dark clouds that covered the sky of arcana. Both the general theory of relativity and the new alchemy are the most splendid achievements in the history of magic, especially the former."
After the conversation with Lazar, Lucien called Natasha again.
"… Your Excellency, you are the master of time and space, the manipulator of stars, and the one who opened the gate of truth in the microscopic world." Natasha was delighted the moment she heard Lucien's voice.
Although she did not understand the general theory of relativity, she knew from Lucien's description that it was an explanation about the nature of gravity that involved time and space. She had already learned the great significance of the discovery of neutrons from Granny Hathaway, Lucien, and Mr. Morris. Therefore, she made up a tribute as a joke.
Lucien smiled. "You're listening to News of the World, too?"
"I was listening to 'Arcana Voice' and 'News of the World' when I was in Aalto." Although the magic radio hadn't been promoted to the other side of the Storm Strait, she certainly had enough of it. The former was her daily entertainment, and the latter was the channel through which she subconsciously followed Lucien's news. "In fact, I've always found arcana studies very interesting. I can learn them from scratch when I'm free. It's just that I'm not talented in spiritual power."
Natasha had the foundation in that regard, and she did find the things revealed by arcana studies and experiments very interesting. Therefore, she planned to give it a try, but she did not expect to achieve anything at all, nor did she intend to focus on it.
Lucien chuckled in a low voice. "As long as you can control magic circles and alchemical devices, I'll teach you slowly. Let's see if you can become a disaster maker in experiments."
The two of them began to talk aimlessly. It was not until Hellen looked back at them at the end of the corridor that Lucien finally realized what was going on. "Due to the great influence of this incident, and because I'm waiting for the review of my paper to receive the reward, I may not be able to go to Renstadt for a while. Please apologize to His Majesty the Grand Duke for me."
"I know. Granny Hathaway told me about it. Also, I heard your speech. Just stay in Allyn and don't go out recklessly. I'll sort out the relationships with the parliament, the cabinet, and the nobles in the meantime. Then, I'll come to Allyn for you! I'll visit your research institute and your magic tower! " Said Natasha very understandingly. In the meantime, she added with a wicked smile, "You don't know that I'm already a level-nine gold Knight yet. I'm going to give you a 'surprise'."
Lucien chuckled. "My students have always wanted to meet Your Majesty. Alright, I'll hang up now."
"Okay." Natasha replied in a nasal voice. Then, she said in a low voice, "My Mr. Grand Arcanist."
After the electromagnetic communication was cut off, Lucien suddenly thought of a problem. Natasha and Annick must've contacted him many times before, but he neglected Scorch for various reasons. As a result, he did not know who tried to contact him later at all. Therefore, he might've missed a lot of things.
"I need communication management and 'missed calls' …" Lucien considered the function modules in that regard.
It was not difficult to design similar storage circles to achieve that purpose, but there was no doubt that the usage requirements and the price of the alchemical communication items would be significantly higher, which did not meet the need of promotion. Also, the alchemical life was a fusion of souls and was better at intelligent management than computation. Therefore, it was necessary to develop computers that were the foundation of magic.
Although the soul and the brain of a legendary sorcerer were as capable as the computers in the early stage, and there were ancillary computation circles, many problems were not a problem at all. However, Lucien was certain that they were no match for the first-generation galactic level computers, not to mention the subsequent generations and the heavenly river level computers. He could not neglect the development of this field just because the computers were not very useful in the early stage. After all, the semiconductor element had been discovered.
While thinking, Lucien hurried to catch up with Hellen.
Hellen looked at him, somewhat weirdly, but did not say anything. For someone who had devoted herself to arcana and magic studies, Lucien's previous few calls were too long-winded and a waste of time. Couldn't it have been better if he had just told her what he needed to do?
… …
In the next day and a half, Lucien seized the time to construct the second ninth-circle spell in order to stabilize his strength.
A normal ninth-circle spell would take two to three weeks even if one had enough knowledge of mathematics, arcana, and magic. However, Lucien had already grasped the structure of the Snow Goddess' Whip that he created himself. Therefore, before Oliver and the other legendary sorcerers opened the Land of Truth, he had successfully constructed the spell in his soul and consolidated his strength as a ninth-circle archmage. In the meantime, he had also become the ninth-circle archmage who had grasped the least number of seventh-circle and eighth-circle spells.
So far, Lucien had only constructed nine seventh-circle spells, which were Evans' Frigid Ray, Spell Reversal, Antimagic Ray, Finger of Death, Simulacrum, Magic Prison, Energy Immunity, Chaos Transmission, and Lightning Storm. He also had nine eighth-circle spells, which were Magic Order, Maze, Elemental Skin, Mental Barrier, Space Lock, Advanced Curse, Advanced Spying Eyes, Powerful Magnetic Explosion, and Foresight.
Suddenly, Lucien sensed that the space was shaking. So, he hurried to Hellen's library.
The moment he stepped into the room, the closed portal of transmission was opened. Douglas stepped out and nodded at Fernando, Oliver, and the other legendary sorcerers calmly. "Thank you for your hard work."
Lucien smiled. It was great that Mr. President was fine.
