When Lucien left the Psalm Hall, it was already eleven o 'clock at night. There were only a few lights in the area, and most of the carriages had already left.
Although the daytime was hot in the Month of Harvest, the night would be very cool after the rain. Being blown by the clear night wind, Lucien felt refreshed. He woke up from the joy of Victor's concert and the surprise of getting Quintal. Lucien thought to himself while walking, "It seems that I have to leave Aderon soon. I have to clean up the lab first, in case the homeless people might notice the problem. Also, I have to summon the vengeful spirit as soon as possible, preferably tonight! Tomorrow, I'll focus on buying Moonlight Rose. "
The Moonlight Rose was a miraculous plant that could help a knight's squire to activate the power of their bloodline. The growth of the Moonlight Rose had very strict requirements on the environment, so the production of the Moonlight Rose was not high. Furthermore, becoming a knight was the best way for a poor or ordinary person to become a noble. Therefore, there were many people who needed it. Therefore, even if the price was high, the supply would always exceed the supply. Even the nobles could completely digest the Moonlight Rose. Ordinary people could only rely on luck or an even more ridiculous price to buy it from the black market. The best way was to become a knight's squire.
In the Duchy of Orvarit, the resources of Moonlight Rose were concentrated in the hands of the Church, the House of Violet and several other big families. Apart from the fact that the House of Orvarit was very powerful, the House of Orvarit was one of the most powerful families in the Duchy of Orvarit.
Therefore, Lucien turned his attention to Phyllis. She was a member of the House of Hayne, and also the niece of the Count of Hayne. Although her father failed to activate his Blessing even with the help of Moonlight Rose and lost the fight for the title of Count of Hayne, she was still qualified to buy Moonlight Rose from the House of Hayne.
In fact, Phyllis had already bought Moonlight Rose. However, after failing to activate her Blessing three times, she had to focus on her music career.
"The problem is how to persuade her. And how to dispel her suspicions about me buying the Moonlight Rose! "
Lucien walked down the stairs of the Psalm Hall with slight annoyance. Last time when he was stopped by the night watchers, Lucien had to improve his strength as soon as possible. If Phyllis did not agree, he would have to take the risk and go to the black market in Aalto, or attend the secret meeting of the magic circle.
At the entrance of the Psalm Hall, there were only two carriages. Chorre was telling Alisa, John and Eleena about how he always thought Lucien was talented in music.
Seeing Lucien coming to him, Chorre laughed aloud and hugged Lucien, "Little Evans, your dream of being a musician and my dream of being a musician has come true. What a wonderful night! You're your father, and we're proud of you. "
Although Chorre was only joking about Lucien's dream of being a musician, ever since Lucien started to learn music from Victor, Chorre believed that Lucien really wanted to be a musician.
Lucien was a bit embarrassed after being hugged, "Can you not hug me? I'm not used to this kind of etiquette. It's better to shake hands!"
After Chorre hugged Lucien, John also hugged Lucien. He was a bit excited and said with great strength, "Lucien, you're really a musical genius. I'm so proud of you. I thought I'd become a Knight first. "
Hearing this, Lucien's heart skipped a beat. Maybe he could use John as an excuse to buy the Moonlight Rose from Phyllis. After all, after success, he still wanted to help his benefactor and good friend awaken the Bloodline Power. It was always admirable.
And Lucien also had this plan. When he had a certain amount of wealth, he would try his best to buy the Moonlight Rose and help John become a Knight. Ever since he transmigrated, Chorre's family had treated him like real family, and he had also treated them the same way. In his heart, they were more important than Victor.
The only problem was how to persuade Phyllis, money or something else?
"I've just started. I'll have to wait at least two or three years before I can be called a musician. Maybe John, you can awaken the Bloodline Power and become a Knight soon." Lucien answered John with a smile.
John shook his head and let go of Lucien, "I've also just become a high-grade Knight squire. I'm not in a hurry to be promoted. The more solid the foundation, the easier it will be for me to succeed in the future."
The success rate of awakening the Bloodline Power was the highest the first time. After that, the success rate would decrease every time. After the third time, unless there were some special potions with serious side effects, it would never be successful.
Elena stood aside. Seeing Lucien and John separated, she stepped forward and hugged Lucien. She smiled and said, "Congratulations on your success, Lucien. No, I should call you Mr. Evans."
"We're friends. There's no need to be so formal. Otherwise, I won't teach you music anymore." Lucien replied jokingly.
Although there was a city gate from the administrative district to Aderon, it was not closed under normal circumstances. It was only guarded by soldiers. After seeing Elena off, Lucien and Chorre went back to their own house.
… …
Lying on the bed, Lucien calmed himself down. Half asleep, Lucien did not wake up until one o 'clock in the morning. After checking the room carefully, Lucien sneaked into his magic lab without making a sound.
It took Lucien an hour to set up several magic traps on the table with many special alchemy circles. After that, he took out a tube of dark red blood from the box in the corner. At the same time, he opened his magic notebook on the table and in the Library of the Soul so that he could record the information about the Specter.
Lucien's main purpose was to get the Specter Dust, but it was also normal that he wanted to study the specter. Also, the specter was close to the soul, so Lucien's research on it could help him to strengthen his own soul and understand necromancy spells.
When Lucien opened the test tube engraved with magic runes, a strong smell of sulfur drifted out. The dark red blood was like lava, with bright red bubbles coming out of it from time to time.
Lucien chanted a complicated spell, and his spiritual power connected with a certain dimension. Then, he sprinkled the devil's blood in front of him.
The dark red blood strangely stopped in the air, and at an incredible speed, it divided into drops of blood.
The drops of blood soon formed a small magic circle that reeked of blood and evil. The magic circle suddenly evaporated.
In the light red blood mist, a transparent figure suddenly appeared. Its hands, feet, and face were very blurry. Only the strong resentment and viciousness could be clearly felt and even seen.
Although Lucien did not understand the principle of this dimension, the structure of apprentice-level spells was relatively simple. After many virtual practice sessions, Lucien successfully summoned a low-rank specter.
As soon as the transparent figure whose face could not be seen clearly appeared, it opened its mouth and seemed to let out an ear-piercing cry. Then, it suddenly lunged at Lucien, as if it had sensed the air of life that it loathed.
Lucien did not panic at all. The magic trap was activated, and the air around the specter became chaotic, like a rope that tightly bound the specter.
This was an apprentice-level spell called Spirit Binding, which was specially used to bind spirits. However, there was a corresponding senior-level version, which could turn a knight into a kind of undead creature called Spirit Binding. The undead creature would retain its original strength and intelligence and gain the characteristics of an undead creature.
At the same time, a transparent circular wall appeared around the specter, and Lucien could see the sound waves vibrating on the wall.
It was the apprentice-level spell, Sound Suppression Wall.
Since the specter's scream was canceled out by the Sound Suppression Wall, Lucien did not touch it directly. However, he still felt a little nauseous, and he felt like vomiting. In a trance, he even "heard" a shrill scream.
"The specter's scream has a certain intensity, but it's not very strong. It has a strong penetrating power and can cause some damage to the human body, so it can't be heard directly." Lucien held back his discomfort and instantly recorded the characteristics of the specter's attack in his magic notes in the Library of the Soul. "The sound frequency seems to be able to make people hallucinate and feel that they are" hearing "the specter's scream. It's a bit special, so I need to remember the approximate frequency range."
Since Lucien's power and equipment were limited, there were many things that he could not accurately quantify.
The specter was trapped, and its scream was canceled out by the Sound Suppression Wall. The specter could only struggle on the spot, and it was getting crazier and crazier.
Lucien was not affected at all. He just let the specter do whatever it wanted to do. He activated the alchemy circle on the table, and rays of golden light lit up.
"Weight, 21.26 grams. Heavy, more than expected." Lucien recorded the data measured by the alchemy circle without any expression on his face. "The power is not measurable …"
After recording the basic data, Lucien started to recite the spell and cast an apprentice-level spell on the specter. He also recorded the effect of the spell.
"Mage's Hand directly penetrated the specter, unable to touch the specter."
"Acid Sputtering did not work."
"Frost Ray did not work."
"Homan coughed. The specter's transparent body had a certain fluctuation, which caused some damage. I suspect that it was caused by wave interference or magnetic field disturbance."
"Maris's Little Flame had a slight effect, but I can't determine the cause."
Lucien cast one apprentice-level spell after another, trying to figure out the cause and effect.
The specter was not as crazy as before, and it became more transparent, as if it was scared of Lucien and shrank in the magic trap.
Lucien observed the specter's reaction and continued to record calmly, "The specter's instinct is still there."
Then, Lucien cast Illuminate, Light Dance, and other apprentice-level spells. Under the illumination of these spells, the specter became more and more agitated. It wanted to escape, but it could not. Therefore, under the illumination of the light, the specter's hatred and malice disappeared bit by bit. However, the dissipation speed was very slow, and it was not as fast as the Church's holy light attack.
"This specter is very afraid of strong light."
"The specter's weight seems to have changed a little, but the alchemy circle in the elementary alchemy circle cannot measure it."
…
After finishing all the experiments he prepared, Lucien looked at the specter, which had almost curled up into a ball. He shook his head and smiled, "You're free now."
Until now, Lucien finally had the feeling that he was destroying a national protected creature.
After casting a few strong light spells, the specter, which was already severely injured, completely disappeared. Transparent, shimmering dust slowly fell into the magic trap.
Lucien was not sure if he could kill the specter easily if he encountered it by surprise. However, when he was prepared, magic was always the most powerful. Therefore, it was easy for him to kill the specter.
After the dust fell, Lucien recorded the data, "21.25 grams. Considering the error of the alchemy circle, it's hard to tell if the specter's consciousness has weight or not."
After finishing the experiment, Lucien collected the dust into a glass test tube. Then, he slowly made some preparations to dismantle his lab. He also gathered some utensils and other items.
…
The next day, at the beginning of the church, Lucien got up and walked to the Musicians' Association. As the temporary music consultant of Princess Natasha, he was no longer suitable to continue working as a librarian, and he had to collect his income from the concert from the association.
