After the call with Natasha, Lucien did not clean up his room and laboratory like other single men for the visit of 'Her Majesty'. Not only did he have Leo, his butler, a dozen servants, a mithril golem and a few iron golems at his disposal, 'Pinocchio' alone could keep every corner of the magic tower clean and tidy.
Also, Lucien was a very organized man himself. Everything, especially the experiment materials, was placed in the original way strictly in case of mistakes when he was too focused on the experiment.
Retracting his thoughts, Lucien focused his attention on Sun's Corona. In the past few days, he had cracked the last two layers of seals and completely grasped the level-nine item that was close to the legendary level.
The last layer of seals did not have much value, and it only enabled Lucien to use the level-nine divine spell, 'Immortal Predator'. However, the last layer of seals contained the changing pattern of the mysterious place recorded by Maskelyne.
The mysterious place was located deep inside the World of Souls and seemed to be inseparable from the origins of the senior-rank spectres such as Adol. It was very likely that it was the 'palace' where the mysterious existence of the World of Souls was hibernating and waiting to wake up. Also, it was possible that the greatest secret of the World of Souls that Rhein mentioned was hidden there.
The information left by Maskelyne included more than ten parameters that were closely related to the specific situation of the World of Souls. Only when one really entered the World of Souls could one obtain the real-time environmental data and calculate the mysterious place that was constantly changing its location.
"Now that I've become a legendary sorcerer, it's time to put the exploration of the secrets of the World of Souls and rescue Mr. Maskelyne into my plan." The gains in the defense of the Grand Cross were the foundation for Lucien's real growth. Had it not been for the things that Maskelyne intentionally left behind, he probably would've died on the journey to Stuart without the strength of an official sorcerer. Also, as an arcanist whose life goal was to explore the world and study mysteries, it was only a matter of time before he went to the World of Souls.
Of course, Lucien did not plan to go there anytime soon. He had to wait until the six legendary spells were engraved on his soul. It would be best if he was level three or at the peak of legendary, and the Congress of Magic would form a team. That would be the safest way.
"I'll apply to Ms. Hellen in a couple of days. I'm authorized enough to retrieve the information extracted from the souls of the senior-rank spectres …" After making the decision, Lucien stopped dwelling on the matter and focused on studying the Space Staff and analyzing 'Vengeful Gaze'.
…
The next morning, Lucien came to the thirty-third floor of the Allyn magic tower and waited outside of Hathaway's library.
Not long after, space-time fluctuations appeared in the study, and a familiar aura entered Lucien's nose.
Without a sound, the door was opened, and a tall lady walked out. Natasha was wearing a white hunting suit and long pants, brown boots, and a black Knight hat on her head. She looked clean and neat. Also, such an outfit matched her vibe and appearance very well. Except for the fact that she was slightly androgynous, she was exceptionally stunning.
Seeing that Lucien was slightly stunned and appreciative, Natasha pressed her right hand on her chest and slightly bowed. "Your Excellency, you are the Truth of Elements and the Space Staff."
"My lady, you are my Truth." Lucien replied humorously, although he was slightly regretful. He had grown much taller, but he was still several centimeters shorter than Natasha. His legs were especially short. Thankfully, it was not too obvious anymore.
Natasha stood next to Lucien with a smile and observed the Allyn magic tower that she visited when she was little. "This place is even more beautiful than I remembered. The simple and magnificent design, the silver coldness, and the ubiquitous mysterious patterns constitute an indescribable fantasy style."
"Therefore, every sorcerer or apprentice will leave an indelible impression on the Allyn magic tower after they see it for the first time. Your Majesty, your Knight will show you the Atom Institution first." Lucien extended his right hand and made an inviting gesture.
Natasha chuckled. "This is the mysterious forbidden area that all the nobles and citizens discuss. The deepest secrets of the world seem to be hidden inside."
Under the propaganda of 'Arcana Voice', the common citizens were full of awe for the Atom Institution that had made great discoveries time and time again. They were also curious about the name that they did not understand.
Without the external pressure and danger, Natasha was quite relaxed. She walked at a leisurely pace and asked Lucien questions on her way.
Hellen, who was on duty on this floor, was alerted by their continuous conversation and laughter. She opened the door of the library and asked, frowning, "Who is she?"
Natasha did not have any magic or arcana badges on her chest.
"She is my fiancée, Natasha, the queen of the Kingdom of Holm. You must've met her before, haven't you, Ms. Hellen?" Lucien introduced. In the meantime, he was somewhat confused. Hellen should've known Natasha.
Natasha also said politely, "Your Excellency Hellen, I often hear Granny Hathaway talking about you. You are one of the ladies that I admire very much."
Hellen's furrowed eyebrows were relaxed. "So, you are Natasha. I've seen your picture and heard your name before, but I never connected the two."
Lucien tried to hold back his smile. It was obvious that Ms. Hellen did not focus on that aspect, which was why such a problem occurred.
Now that the identity of the guest had been confirmed, Hellen had no time for small talk. She simply closed the door of the library and continued to indulge in her arcana world.
"Your Excellency Hellen is the most delicate woman I've ever seen." When they stepped on the elevator, Natasha praised with a smile.
Lucien's lips twitched. "Why do you care about her appearance …"
"Shouldn't I care about that?" Natasha felt that it was only natural. Then she smiled, "Rest assured. I'm loyal and devoted. I don't have any other thoughts about her."
Lucien touched Natasha's hair behind her Knight hat speechlessly. What he needed to worry about was not what normal people should worry about.
Standing at the edge of the elevator, Natasha pointed at the thirty-first floor and said, "Is the Sky Radio Station on this floor? I like the voices of Ms. Lark and Ms. Nightingale very much. I wonder what they look like in person. "
A few years ago, Natasha asked similar questions, but at that time, Lucien, fearing that he would have more rivals in love, brushed her off with other excuses. After all, Louise was only a slightly famous musician in Aalto and was not qualified to be noticed by Natasha, the Violet Count.
"They are not in the Sky Radio Station during the day." Lucien explained.
"What a shame, but I'll stay in Allyn tonight. Can you show me the Sky Radio Station?" Natasha asked excitedly.
Having confirmed their relationship, Lucien naturally did not have the worries of the past anymore. He smiled and said, "Of course. I'm still the director of the Sky Radio Station."
… …
Inside the Atom Institution, Lazar, Heidi, Alfalia and the rest of them, who had been informed by Lucien, were waiting excitedly and anxiously. Although they had all seen the queen's pictures on the newspapers and magazines, they had never seen her face to face, not to mention that it was a sign that Mr. Lucien Evans had publicly ended his singleness.
In such an atmosphere, the gate of the institution was opened. Heidi's sharp eyes saw that her teacher walked in with a gallant, clean lady with purple hair.
"How beautiful …"
"How beautiful!"
"No wonder our teacher likes her."
"What a perfect match."
Low compliments echoed nonstop. Natasha's temperament and image were very suitable for the ladies present. They all thought that she had a heroic beauty that was different from all the other female sorcerers.
After Lucien coughed, Katrina and the other students were back to themselves. They bowed respectfully. "Good morning, master. Good morning, Your Majesty."
Alfalia and Lowi, on the other hand, held their chests and held their foreheads. "Your Excellency, you are the truth of elements and the staff that controls time and space. Good morning, Your Majesty. "
After that, Lucien introduced Lazar, Jerome and the other friends, as well as Annick and Layria, to Natasha. They greeted each other for a while.
After the assistants dispersed, Heidi, seeing that Natasha was cheerful and generous, summoned her courage and asked, "Your Majesty, what's your relationship with our teacher like? All the sorcerers in Allyn are very curious! "
"Just say that you're curious, lovely girl." Natasha looked at Heidi and the other students with a vague smile. "To put it simply, I pushed your teacher down."
Heidi and Layria almost spurted out their saliva. They all raised their thumbs. How domineering! It seemed that straightforwardness was the best way to deal with a gentle and reserved man like their teacher!
"You seem to be very free." Lucien interjected. "I'll assign you a mission to study the computation mechanism of ancillary computation circles."
Heidi and the other students immediately put on a bitter expression. Their teacher was infuriated, and he had given them another mission.
"If you want to know the whole process, I'll tell you later when I'm free." Natasha followed Lucien to the laboratory with a smile.
Opening the door of the laboratory, Natasha saw sharp and cold alchemical devices in smooth lines. On the experiment platform were indescribable, mysterious patterns that were full of mysteries. Such a style was cold, but it did not make one feel emotionless. Instead, it was deeply shocking and eternal.
"It's completely different from my mother's laboratory. It's more … more like the beauty of the starry sky." Natasha was shocked and tried to find an adjective to express her feelings.
"That's the charm of arcana and magic. Come on. Try this cyclotron." Lucien shared his research life with Natasha.
After activating the cyclotron with her will, Natasha saw the wonderful traces of electrons in the cloud chamber. She exclaimed in amazement, "Are they really such tiny electrons?"
Lucien was about to reply, when the voltage part of the cyclotron suddenly broke down.
"It's not my fault …" Natasha did not think that she had done anything unnecessary.
Lucien checked it. "It's normal damage. Come on. Try this magnifying magic circle."
After a while, Natasha said innocently again, "It's really not my fault."
"Yes, it's also normal damage …"
Lucien led Natasha to try it. Three alchemical devices and two magic circles were broken. Although it was less than one percent, it was still more than the damage limit of a month.
"Maybe they're scared of me?" Natasha scratched her chin and looked very "serious", looking for an excuse for such abnormalities.
Lucien said in amusement, "It won't be long before you have another nickname, 'Experiment Device Destroyer'."
"It's definitely because the stars are not good today!" Natasha said resolutely.
… …
Lucien led Natasha to visit the center of Allyn again and did not return to the magic tower until noon.
"This style is more starry and fantasy than the atom laboratory … You designed it well." Natasha was shocked by Lucien's' Babel 'again.
"Welcome, hostess." Said 'Pinocchio'.
Curious about the wisdom of the alchemical life, Natasha looked at Lucien and asked, "You didn't teach it?"
"Of course." Lucien secretly raised his thumb to Pinocchio.
Pinocchio replied proudly, "I'm the smart Pinocchio!"
"I remember that you told me the story of Pinocchio, a puppet whose nose would grow long after he lied." Natasha chuckled. "Is it a metaphor that you lied to so many people?"
Pinocchio said aloud, "No, I'm not a lying puppet. I'm the honest Pinocchio. Yes, very honest!"
Lucien led Natasha into the magic tower with a smile, not allowing her to tease Pinocchio anymore.
After visiting the magic tower and the magic garden, they returned to the living room to rest and wait for lunch.
Right when Lucien was about to talk with Natasha about school and laws, Natasha suddenly rose and closed the door of the living room. She activated the independent magic circle that blocked Pinocchio's senses and looked at Lucien with a malicious smile.
"What's wrong?" Lucien asked in confusion.
Natasha kept her smile. "Let me tell you a piece of good news. I've advanced to level nine by perceiving and grasping the rules in the Sword of Truth. I've finally surpassed you again."
As a natural-born Knight, she was very happy that she could gain the upper hand in a short time. She knew that Lucien, whose cognitive world had half-solidified, would catch up and even surpass her in a few years. Therefore, she decided to enjoy the "dominant time" in the next few years.
Therefore, she smiled charmingly and rubbed her fists, eager to try. "You hugged me like that before. This time, I'm going to hug you back! I'm going to enjoy this feeling! "
While talking, she carefully sensed Lucien's emotions. If he was disgusted by the princess hug, she would give up and would not go against his will. It was the most basic principle when they got along.
Lucien was surprised by Natasha's improvement at first, and then he stood there with a smile.
Seeing that Lucien did not object, Natasha deliberately walked to Lucien in a gentlemanly way, extending her hands and chuckling.
But all of a sudden, something unexpected happened. Natasha discovered that Lucien's vibe changed. He was so intimidating that he was like a pillar that was connected to the earth and could not be moved at all. Then, she felt that great strength came from her back and her legs, and she soared into the sky without any resistance.
She waved her hands and feet, trying to break free, but they were like two iron rings that could not be broken at all.
"You've advanced into legendary?"
Natasha was back to herself. Her eyes widened, and she asked in disbelief. She was both surprised and panicked. She admired and regretted.
… …
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Lunchtime was much later than scheduled. Lucien looked at Natasha, who was sitting across from him, feeling refreshed, "I'll leave the rules and regulations to you."
Natasha's face was slightly flushed. Her determination was burning. She had to work hard to reach legendary!
She nodded and said, "I'll ask Duke James to submit the bill to the parliament. Right, the intelligence department said that the dwarven craftsmen were worshipping a mysterious God of Steam. Why do I feel that it has something to do with you?"
