According to Lucien's idea, the silver pocket watch was in a complicated and mechanical style. At the center of the watch was a white dial, where mysterious symbols made of different gems represented different times. The black second hand ticked, and the sound seemed to be echoing in everyone's heart. Other than that, there was also something special about the pocket watch, which was that there was a button on the left and a button on the right where the dial was connected to the cover, which was flashing with metal colors.
It also had the cover and the chain that other pocket watches should have.
Waving his hand, the silver pocket watch flew into Lucien's hand, and the silver chain was automatically attached to the buttonhole of the brown vest.
Lucien pressed his right index finger and closed the cover. The ticking sound of time came to an abrupt end. Flicking his thumb again, the cover was opened, and a mysterious feeling enveloped the area.
Holding the body of the watch with his right hand, Lucien watched the black second hand ticking quickly. Then, he pressed the button on the right with his thumb.
"Kacha," a crisp sound rang out, and the second hand suddenly stopped. The surrounding colors quickly faded, leaving behind only a grayish-white color. It was as if everything had slowed down to the extreme. Other than himself, nothing could move normally.
It was the legendary spell, Advanced Time Stop!
Crack. Lucien pressed it again, and all the vivid colors returned. The second hand continued ticking, and the world returned to normal.
As Lucien's thumb slid up and down on the edge of the dial, the second hand was sometimes fast and sometimes slow, and the moving objects around were sometimes fast and sometimes slow.
"This is indeed the feature of the 'Observer of Time and Space'." Lucien tried the button on the left again. Immediately, on the stable planet made of iron elements, the symbol of 'black' gravity could be vaguely seen. Space was twisted, and the gravity within several thousand meters was abnormally disordered. Unless it was a spell that worked directly on the body and did not require a path, the trajectories of everything else would be twisted.
'Gravity Collapse' could not only cause direct damage to the target, but it could also be used as a control spell.
After testing the effect of his legendary item, Lucien nodded with satisfaction. Then, according to the rules of this world, he engraved the information of the pocket watch into its central magic circle and named it.
"Moon Timer, a level-one legendary item. Apart from the sorcerers who have a profound understanding of time and space, only those whose cognitive world is half-solidified or equivalent can use it. Even the sorcerers who have a deep understanding of time and space must reach the substantialization of their cognitive world. Otherwise, their body and soul will be washed away by time, and they will age and die quickly."
"The Moon Timer is the beacon of the 'Observer of Time and Space'. Whoever wears it will be immune to the Extraordinary abilities that are related to time and space below legendary. The spells that the wearer cast themselves will not be affected but will instead be enhanced and more accurate. The wearer will also be somewhat resistant to the manipulation of time and space above legendary."
"It is also the Lord of Time, its master's aging will be slowed down, adding 520 years to his original lifespan."
"The left and right buttons can replace spells. By pressing them, you can perform 'Gravity Collapse' (twice a day) and 'Advanced Time Stop' (twice a day)."
"By touching the surface of the watch, you will be able to achieve the effect equivalent to part of the abilities of the 'Space Staff', which is to say, you can slow down or accelerate time in a certain range. How many times you can use the ability depends on the wearer's spiritual power."
"Twelve ninth-circle spells can be stored in its dial in advance. They can be activated instantly without consuming any spiritual power."
"The mysteries of time and space are one of the deepest truths in this world. Only wisdom can see through them!"
"From: Lucien Evans"
After a snap, Lucien curled his index finger and closed the cover of the 'Moon Timer'. Then, he put it into the pocket of the brown waistcoat inside his double-breasted suit. A thin silver chain extended out of the pocket and connected to the buttonhole.
"Thankfully, I have the model of my legendary class, or I would've failed the first production." Lucien concluded his experience and lesson just now. He deeply understood why Demigod-lich, his teacher, and other legendary sorcerers' first legendary items often overlapped with their own abilities.
After cleaning up the remaining pieces on the ground, Lucien heaved a sigh of relief.
"Hu. Everything is ready. All that's left is to wait for the 'guest'."
… …
Inside a manor in the suburb of Renstadt …
A young man who was neatly dressed and wearing a black top hat walked out of the carriage with his companion who had a mustache. Led by the servant, they entered the living room.
The fire in the fireplace had long been extinguished. It was not needed in the warm spring season. The black-haired, blue-eyed young man, who looked no different from most people in the Kingdom of Holm, opened the door of the magic refrigerator on the wall with a smile. He took out a bottle of champagne that was marked with the emblem of the Tria Royal Family and poured two glasses.
"I have to admit that Lucien Evans' idea of simplifying and popularizing alchemy items has indeed made everything easier and more convenient. Even without using magic, people can still enjoy an elegant and leisurely life." Lucien, who was handsome and had a bright smile on his face, shook the champagne and took a sip of it.
The mustached man looked out of the window gloomily and solemnly. After a mouthful of champagne, he said, "The cabinet is already making plans to invite sorcerers to cooperate and develop short-distance public transportation with alchemical wagons, which will complement the magic steam trains. It will be much easier to travel to most places in the future. The cabinet, hehe, Prime Minister Russell."
Many years ago, the sorcerers had already created products that were similar to cement when they were alchemy. That was why the streets of Allyn were so smooth. The major roads in almost ten major cities in the Kingdom of Holm were gradually replaced with cement roads.
"James and the rest of them are mainly pursuing the transcendence on the path of Knight. It's impossible for them to work as a busy prime minister … I'm told that Russell intends to establish a postal system based on such a public transportation system … I can imagine the prosperity and civilization of the Kingdom of Holm in the future. Kritonia, if you had known such changes, would you have joined the Congress of Magic in the beginning?" The handsome young man pointed at Kritonia's wound unconcernedly.
The mustached young man turned out to be 'Heart of Time' Kritonia! He seemed to have made a good disguise!
Kritonia was not angry. He looked at the black-haired young man and said, "There's no need to regret what you've done. Banham, I didn't know that you had a private manor here."
"As a night watcher, I have my own daily life." 'Original Fire' Banham chuckled.
He made up the name casually so that it would be easier for Kritonia to address him.
After a long time, Kritonia finally said, "Are we really going to take action during Lucien Evans' wedding? Even when the guards are the weakest, Hathaway, a top legend, is still much stronger than usual. Neither of us can stop Hathaway. Why don't we wait? "
"When the guards are most heavily guarded, they are most likely to be lax. In other words, we don't need to worry about any other legendary sorcerers for now except for Hathaway. Also, I've already made 'preparations'." Banham said casually, "As a matter of fact, when Lucien intentionally lured us to attack in the past few times, I already wanted to take action, but my preparations were not completed yet. We could only wait. After it was finally completed two months ago, he never went out again."
"Preparations?" Kritonia frowned. He had been in touch with Banham remotely and did not meet him in person until two days ago.
The Original Fire chuckled. "I'll give you a detailed explanation before the operation. Hehe. They were only wary of you, me, and the legendary experts of the Church. They didn't know that there were other people …"
"Who?" Asked Kritonia solemnly. He had to ensure his own safety first. It was always worrying when other forces or experts popped up out of nowhere.
"Why do you think I joined the Church?" Instead of giving an answer, the Original Fire asked back.
Kritonia sniffed. "Are you going to tell me?"
"No, so don't ask." The Original Fire shook the wine cup in his hand. "Rest assured. They will certainly be temporarily separated from the legendary sorcerers of the Congress of Magic. We will have enough time to take action and retreat."
Kritonia nodded. "Have you ruled out the hidden dangers with prophecy?"
"Lucien and Natasha have been under the care of Fernando and Hathaway. My astrology can only give the result that neither of them is a threat to us. As for the rest, we can only infer with intelligence and other traces. His Holiness asked with God's Prayer, too. The result is similar. Don't worry. We can still escape even if there are changes. " The Original Fire was very confident, although he was only level-one legendary, and the legendary items of the highest level were only level-two.
Kritonia looked at Banham in confusion, not knowing why he was so confident in his' preparation '. He secretly made up his mind that he would quit immediately if the' preparation 'did not satisfy him. In the meantime, he was more or less relieved. "It is not entirely safe. Although they are not legends, they can still pose a threat to us with the Congus Ring, the legendary items rewarded by the Congress of Magic, the Sword of Truth, and the Shield of Truth. We cannot be careless."
When the Grand Dukes Of Orvarit left Aalto, he took away the Shield of Truth 'by the way'. He could not pick it up, but it did not mean that he could not put it into his storage bag.
"Yes. Lucien and Natasha are always able to create miracles. They can even escape from the Demigod-lich when they were in the senior rank. We cannot be careless." Banham stopped smiling and nodded his head in approval. "We cannot waste time, we cannot hesitate, and we cannot think about catching them. We must deliver a fatal strike as soon as possible. Alright, Kritonia, take a rest. I'm going to study arcana."
"Huh? You are studying arcana? "Kritonia was somewhat stunned.
The Original Fire shook his head with a smile. "My cognitive world was broken and solidified in the ancient Magic Empire. That's why I haven't improved in the past thousand years. I thought it through decades ago. Under such circumstances, learning arcana can't be worse. Chances are that I can find a way to reshape my cognitive world. Look, even His Holiness can learn arcana and modify divine powers. Why can't I? "
Kritonia finally understood why the Original Fire did not grow in strength in the past thousand years. He could've reached level-two with time. Although the Demigod-lich was a sorcerer of ancient heritages, he had only become a legend for three hundred years.
The Original Fire looked out of the window with a smile.
"I hope that our 'wedding gift' can satisfy them."
