In the Month of Passion (June), flowers were blossoming in Allyn where all kinds of weird flowers were planted.
"This time, Stanis and I did not find the Silver Eye Count in the Observer's Castle and the Night Highland. It is said that he has yet to return. The other princes cannot reach out to the Silver Moon. So, the plan to deal with Maltimus together has to be put on hold."
In the meeting room of the Highest Council, the Lord of Storm reported the result of his trip to the Dark Mountain Range angrily.
For an irritable and impatient grand arcanist, it was very infuriating to be interrupted at the critical moment of his research. Also, it was only natural that he would be unhappy after he failed to find anything in the Dark Mountain Range.
Douglas nodded his head and said peacefully, "Perhaps the fact that he has yet to return indicates a certain tactful attitude. At least, it's better than a direct refusal. However, during this period, Harex, whose body has been occupied by the Lord of Hell, has been mainly focused on dealing with the forces at the southern ocean of the continent, namely the few agents supported by the South Church. It means that his primary enemy is still Viken. "
Although their purpose could not be achieved, the other members of the Highest Council were not panicked either because of the calmness of Douglas and the other grand arcanists. However, Lucien secretly sighed. What mattered most was one's own strength, not one's allies. Those who were not strong themselves and dreamed of winning over a bunch of experts as their allies would eventually find themselves as somebody else's food.
"According to our intelligence, Melmax, the Holy Avenger, has already gone to the Boundless Ocean to prevent the forces that belong to the Church from being completely destroyed. However, it is impossible for him to resist a demigod. I estimate that he will have to abandon most of his territory and rely on the defense of the divine power at the core," said Oliver, who was in charge of the Affair Committee.
In front of Brook was a stack of papers on the field theory. He had just received them from the Arcana Review Board. They were the parts that the board members found interesting. Therefore, he exchanged them in advance to see if he could find anything. However, the meeting of the Highest Council was held the moment he exchanged them, so he did not read them yet. "It will not be possible to see Maltimus' other intentions until the issues in the Boundless Ocean are settled. So, we cannot be careless. With the cooperation of the Elven Court, although it is impossible to drive him back to hell with our current capabilities, we are confident that we can defend the defense line on the ocean."
"So, we need a top legend to defend the defense line on the islands and support the elven queen." Faced with such an important issue, Hellen joined the discussion.
Douglas looked around at the members of the Highest Council. Seeing that Lucien, Erica, Bergner, Ataman and the rest of them all nodded in agreement with Hellen, he said solemnly, "Safety first. This time, Brook and I will go to the defense line on the islands. After the time when we are most vulnerable to an ambush is over, we will reduce the number of experts to one top legend."
"I have no objection. It doesn't matter where the experiment is." Brook replied without any hesitation.
Douglas then looked at Fernando. "You'd better not go out in the meantime and guard Allyn with Hathaway in case the South Church ambushes us."
With the defense of Allyn and the top legends, he was not worried about the North Church at all.
"I don't have time to go out either," Fernando complained. Fernando complained. He remembered the out-of-control fission reactor and the experiments related to neutrons.
"Everybody, try not to move around in the main world, in case Maltimus sets his eyes on you. He has mixed the weirdness of the primeval devils and is very hard to defend against." Douglas reminded them in the end.
Lucien barely spoke in the whole meeting. He seemed to be considering other issues. The other members of the Highest Council did not find it strange. He hadn't recovered from his wounds yet, and there was nothing he could do about the Lord of Hell. It was only natural that he was in low spirits.
… …
After returning to the Atomic Universe, Lucien went to the top floor directly and continued the deployment of his magic circles.
"A super-remote space jump magic circle?" Before they knew it, it was already evening. Natasha, who had finished her business in the kingdom, returned to Babel and observed for a while. Then, she found something similar to the magic circles that Lucien deployed in her memories. She had lived with Lucien for so many years, and she had a lot of knowledge in her family. Although she still couldn't understand and grasp the complicated magic patterns, her ability to identify magic circles and spells had improved a lot.
Lucien's spiritual power was running dry. So, he stopped the deployment and took out a tube of senior-rank potion, "Light of Life", before he nodded his head and said, "Yes."
"You want to find the existence of planets? Have you solved the secrets deep inside the Boundless Ocean? Have you figured out what's going on? What's the cause? " Natasha immediately recalled the key points of Lucien's studies recently. Her silver eyes were full of surprise and curiosity.
Lucien walked to her with a smile. "I've learned something from the data and confirmed some of my previous ideas. I have a guess about the status deep inside the Boundless Ocean. So, I applied the confirmed idea to the fact that planets cannot be discovered and adjusted the coordinates of the jump, hoping that it can be confirmed again."
"If it can be confirmed again, doesn't it mean that planets will be discovered?" Natasha looked at Lucien with a smile, her voice filled with excitement.
Ever since she was a little girl, she had heard from her mother Meredith, her elder Hathaway, and her husband Lucien that planets could not be discovered all the time. She had the same simple and beautiful feelings about it as the common arcanists, hoping that the mystery could be truly solved one day.
She felt that a kitten was hiding in her heart, scratching her mind nonstop. She wanted Lucien to tell her what ideas he had confirmed and what speculations he had. However, Lucien was vague just now, and it was obvious that he did not intend to tell her now. So, she could only hold back her curiosity out of respect for other people.
"I hope that it can be discovered." Lucien had mixed feelings. "As a matter of fact, based on the sunlight on the ground and the cosmic rays and asteroids in the universe, I have no doubt about the existence of planets at all …"
It was not as simple as the discovery of planets, which would allow Douglas' celestial body motion system to be perfectly confirmed, and the macroscopic universe to be revealed to the world for real. It meant that a great mystery about the truth of the world would be solved, and the arcanists would be able to approach the truth based on the answer of the mystery.
"Are we going to look for the sun?" Natasha asked. Since they were going to confirm it, it was obvious that the sun, which was the most important and the least time-consuming.
Lucien looked at the dark, boundless Atomic Universe outside of the window. "Yes. It will be the shortest way to confirm it. If it doesn't work, we can adjust our thinking or change to other speculations as soon as possible."
Natasha walked to Lucien's side and looked at the universe that was glittering with colorful spots of light. She said, somewhat "regretfully", "If we can find planets, chances are that you will receive the greatest feedback and advance into the peak of legendary before I become a level-two epic Knight."
It was relatively easy for an epic Knight to advance in the first and second levels of legendary. Therefore, Natasha believed that she could become a level-two epic Knight in another year. However, it was even more difficult to reach the third level of legendary and the peak of legendary than to become a legendary sorcerer, which could be seen from the fact that there were only five level-three legends and one epic Knight at the peak of legendary in the entire world (after the Heart of Time perished, another one advanced recently).
"Let's not talk about whether or not we can find them. If we can solve the mysteries of planets that have not been discovered, it will be beneficial for the epic Knight too. You should've sensed that it is barely possible for you to make further progress after you become an epic Knight. That's because whatever your class is, you will inevitably be connected to the 'truth of the world' in the end and turn yourself into part of the 'truth', reflecting some of the 'patterns' of the world's operation. By the same token, how can you know where you should go next if you are not close to the 'truth of the world'? How can you know how to change and sublimate your entire life?"
Lucien's answer was out of Natasha's expectation. He had such a profound thought about the growth of an epic Knight. Also, he seemed to be viewing the problem from a higher level.
Natasha felt warm in her heart. Then, she chuckled habitually. "Then, I'll be waiting for you to point out a brilliant path for the epic Knight. Well, will it really work?"
"You'll know by then, but it may be a long time before I tell you the real answer." Lucien looked out of the window with a smile, his voice somewhat unpredictable.
… …
At the beginning of July, in the No. 3 generic school in Renstadt …
"The top of the grade this time is out of my expectation. It is also a surprise for all the teachers, because it can be seen from the previous monthly tests and the questions in class that he does not have a good foundation. However, we have all seen his hard work recently. He is …" Brian, the teacher who taught the fundamental arcana class, looked at the students below with a smile.
Those students were all very nervous, because the ranking in the grade this time meant that they could go to the 'cosmic observatory' and really see the stars!
Ali couldn't help but clench his hands. He had been working hard recently, because he knew very well that his foundation was weak and that he could only make up for it with his hard work.
"He is Mr. Ali!"
Boom! Brian's voice echoed in Ali's head like a thunderclap. His head was so fuzzy that he could not hear what the teacher said next. "… Because you have to wait in line, the time is set at the end of August or the beginning of September …"
Did I really succeed?
That was the only ecstatic thought in Ali's head.
