Throne of Magical Arcana

A few days later.

The silver-gray tower goes straight into the sky, the whole body is smooth lines, shining with a cold metallic luster, it has an inexplicable taste compared with most high-level mage towers that are slightly gloomy and gloomy, it seems to be quite harmonious with the vast starry sky, obviously different in all current architectural styles.

"As expected of a great musician, the magic tower also has a touch of art and fantasy." A few years later, Rock, who is already a three-ring magician, still escaped the same way.

As an arcanist who is good at astrology, it is inevitable for the magic tower to be built higher as an astrologer, but this shape and color are considered strange among the many unique magic towers in Allinge, and they are quiet and calm with Lucien. His temperament did not seem to match well, but thinking that he was still a musician, the magician who was invited to the banquet was relieved.

The delicate-looking Louise admired this magic tower very much, at least it was closer to her aesthetics than black towers and gloomy castles, so she smiled and said, "Mr. Evans, you seem to be quite good at architectural design. , when I renovate the garden villa one day, you must give me advice."

Regardless of being a musician or a magician, Lucien can be regarded as her "senior". Even though Lucien has always said that he doesn't have to be so polite, she still calls Mr. Evans meticulously. After becoming the famous radio anchor "Nightingale", she The second-ring magician was not short of money, so he didn't treat himself badly and bought a garden villa in the city of Allinge, where every inch of land was expensive.

"Evans, I wonder if you named this magic tower?" Samantha asked with an indifferent expression, as if casually.

Normally, unless it is creating a demiplane or a place like the headquarters of the council, no magician will be idle to name the magic tower, except for artists.

Lucien stepped up the steps with a smile: "Anyway, I call it 'Babel Tower'."

"Babel..." Lazar, Heather and the others repeated the pronunciation in confusion, but no matching words could be found.

K just wanted to ask, when he saw Lucien smiling without saying a word, he immediately understood that he didn't want to reveal, it should be his own little secret.

"Welcome back, my master, welcome, all distinguished guests, I am the brave, loyal and honest Pinocchio." The crisp voice of Alchemy Life sounded.

Lucien pointed to the silver-gray metal door that slowly opened: "This is Tarling 'Pinocchio'."

Lazar and the others, who still didn't understand the meaning of the name, smiled and shook their heads, greeted Pinocchio one by one, and then walked into the hall, where they saw a metal statue in the shape of a wheel in the center of the hall.

"This is the 'Wheel of History'." Lucien introduced the statue with a wicked sense of humor.

This humor has no difference in the world, and Rock was the first to laugh: "Lucien, you are really ambitious, but how can the future great arcanist who can propose the 'New Alchemy' not have ambition and confidence, whether it is the Southern Church, It's still the Northern Church, everything will be crushed by the wheel of history!"

"History is tortuous and repetitive, but it will eventually move forward." Lucien changed the description and said with a relaxed mood. With this magic tower, he can be regarded as having the first real home in another world. Here, cooperating with the magic tower is enough to defend against the attack of a nine ring.

Samantha nodded lightly: "Evans, you are more sober than I imagined. I thought you would become a little prouder after you proposed the 'new alchemy' and led magicians to truly touch the mysteries of matter."

During this period of time, although the special supplement "New Alchemy" of the "Arcane" journal has not yet been released, all magicians with deep backgrounds like Samantha have read this great book that "can change the times".

After reading it, Samantha, Rachel, Larry, Ulysses and others felt admiration and frustration from the bottom of their hearts. They used to regard Lucien as an opponent who was difficult to catch up with among the magicians of the same generation. While admiring him, they still regarded him as a goal and a driving force for progress. But when "New Alchemy" came out, they suddenly understood that, Lucien was no longer on the same level as them. He belonged to the level of legendary magicians such as Douglas, Brooke, Hathaway, and Klaus, and he didn't even let them see his back.

This made them feel powerless and depressed for a while.

"To despise one's enemies is to despise one's own life." Lucien glanced at Samantha and said with a smile, "And I'm not as genius as you imagined. As I said long ago, the field of atoms is a brand new field. Any discovery here may be related to the mysteries of matter. In this field, there is no authority for the time being, and there is no difference in magical power. As long as the experimental conditions are sufficient, amazing discoveries may be obtained, and I am just one step ahead of you. You may not If you can’t catch up, being young and unconservative is your biggest asset.”

Samantha looked at Lucien's deep and calm eyes, and felt that he was serious rather than polite and modest, so she smiled: "It's a pity that I'm not good at the elemental field."

Larry, K, Lazar and the others nodded thoughtfully. In the past, when they heard Lucien say this, they still felt agitated, but now, the "new alchemy" is clearly in front of them , this is indeed a domain belonging to the "gods"!

Lucien pointed to the sky: "The macroscopic world is equally important."

"Teacher, can I have a look at your laboratory?" Heidi asked before Samantha answered, full of curiosity.

Lucien did not refuse, and took them to the basement floor by elevator, passing through the backup energy room, the bondage room, the underground magic garden, and arrived at the vast laboratory.

Everyone has seen most of the magic circles and alchemy devices, but the two silver semicircular metal boxes placed in the strong magnetic vacuum magic circle in the center of the laboratory made them a little confused.

And these two metal boxes engraved with magic patterns seem to have similar shapes with the whole magic tower, and they also exude an inexplicable smell.

"This is an electromagnetic cyclotron... If you want to build it, you can exchange it for the design proposal I submitted." Lucien roughly explained the principle and seduced them without any trace.

Although this magic tower, which is far beyond the budget, has a special preference from the council, and many high-grade materials are cheap to the level of medium materials, Lucien still spent all his three-year savings and the rewards of "new alchemy" to make it more expensive. The magic tower will be much easier to upgrade in the future, so arcane point benefits are currently needed.

This made Lucien feel that he was promoted too fast. Even though there are many money-making projects and arcane point rewards, there is still a big gap compared with those high-level magicians who have lived for hundreds of years, especially for himself. A magic tower is the best for everything, and there are more arrangements than ordinary high-level and current needs.

"What's this?" Larry looked at the electromagnetic cyclotron excitedly, and then asked, pointing to the sealed box connected to the transmitter, which seemed to be many magic circles in the thermal field.

Lucien pointed to the observation device and recording magic circle above: "This is an auxiliary alchemy device I designed, called the cloud chamber."

"Cloud room?" K's simple and honest face showed obvious doubts.

Lucien said with a smile: "When the alchemy device is turned on, saturated steam will appear inside, as long as charged particles pass through, ionization will occur, and liquid droplets will condense with the trajectory of the charged particles as the core, thus forming distinct traces to help us observe and record particle trajectories."

"Why didn't I think of this!" Ulysses, who is still good at heat, slapped the back of his left hand fiercely. The particles are too small to clearly observe and record their trajectories. This is a big problem in the field of atomic research. , Many magicians are trying to improve similar amplification devices, but Lucien simply uses the properties of supersaturated steam to solve part of it.

Louise and Heidi said at the same time: "Can I take a look?"

Lucien nodded, turned on the alchemy device, turned on the electromagnetic cyclotron, and let them observe the situation inside through the magic circle.

The space is dim, as if there is nothing, suddenly, the white air appears out of thin air like the condensation of fog droplets, and the trajectory is extremely beautiful. Under the strong contrast, the beauty is shocking.

Suddenly, there was no sound in the laboratory.

…………

After visiting the laboratory, Lucien led them into the banquet hall, and waited until the high-level magicians such as Lavender, Gaston, and Isabella arrived, and the celebration banquet officially began.

In a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere, Lucien played seven or eight piano pieces in succession, and also played two violin melodies, feasting the ears of the guests.

After the prelude to the banquet, everyone began to chat casually. Looking at the guests, Lucien suddenly felt inexplicably lonely and missed Alto's friends.

Taking a chance, Lucien slipped to the balcony and activated the electromagnetic communication technique.

"Good evening, congratulations on the completion of your magic tower." Natasha's smiling voice came over not long after Lucien opened it.

Lucien also smiled and said, "Good afternoon, we are celebrating the banquet."

"It's a pity that I can't participate, so I can only say congratulations, hehe, fallen angel, His Holiness the Pope is really creative." After talking with Lucien for a long time, Natasha also learned a lot of new vocabulary.

Lucien said solemnly: "I'm just studying the particles in the microcosmic domain, without any other purpose, but does this result mean that after the creation of the world, the God of Truth gave all the authority to all things themselves, and was only responsible for spiritual of sustenance?"

For a better future, Lucien has been slowly changing Natasha's religious views.

"So, you mean that God is in our hearts, and the church is a lie?" Natasha didn't seem to care too much about it, as long as Lucien didn't really say blasphemous words, she wouldn't become serious.

Lucien said without hesitation: "Of course, do you think Ms. Meredith is also evil?"

Natasha laughed lowly: "Well, that's not the point. The point is that after mentioning that you are a fallen angel, I suddenly want to see you in an angel costume from an opera. It's best to change into a pair of wings."

"I remember that angels' costumes are very neutral..." Lucien pierced through her little thoughts.

Natasha smiled guiltyly: "By the way, why is the quality of my call with Granny Hathaway not as good as it is now?"

"Because there are still many problems to be solved on the communication planet, Speaker Douglas has been deeply troubled in the past few years." Therefore, the plan to form a constellation of artificial planets is far behind expectations.

Natasha clicked her tongue: "Then the quality of our call... In terms of feeling, do you know where the problem is?"

"Hey." Lucien smiled and didn't answer.

Natasha didn't ask further, but sighed: "That mysterious space appeared, and my teacher was recruited there by the Pope. When I think of the legendary battlefield, my blood boils, but unfortunately I don't have the strength to join, but the Pope His Majesty also issued an order to make preparations for the nobles above the Heavenly Knights, and if there is anything strange in the mysterious space, we will supplement it after leaving enough defensive power."

"If there is such a day, I will lead them in as the commander of the Violet nobles."

At a time like this, either the Grand Duke or her must come forward, otherwise they will not be able to convince the crowd.

"Actually, I want to see it too." Lucien said with a hint of concern.

Natasha laughed and said, "Forget it, no one in the legend has any hatred against me, and the church's Holy Spirit priests and epic knights will attack you as soon as they see you. You will really cause trouble!"

After chatting for a while, it was impossible for Lucien, as the host, to neglect the guests, so he asked John about their situation and stopped talking.

As soon as he turned his head, Lucien saw Samantha looking at him from afar, holding steamed fish in her hand—this was Lucien's improved food, which was enthusiastically loved by the guests.

"Although I can't hear what you are saying, the expression on your face tells me that you are not the kind of person who is too slow to study arcane arts and magic. That girl is so happy." Samantha walked over, feeling a little lost Sighing deeply, he turned and left without hesitation.

In the Magic Council, the proportion of single magicians is higher than that of the general group, but marriage is still the mainstream. It's just that some magicians live for a long time, and all their wives die. Lost desire, so single again, not many couples are strong.

The Grand Arcanist is the group with the lowest marriage ratio. Douglas is single, Fernando is single, Hathaway is single, Helen is single, Mrs. Vicente died young (it is rumored that his dream is to resurrect his wife, the real resurrection), Mrs. Brook Fallen in the assassination of the church, only Oliver is still happy.
