Chapter 358: The Vase
Translator: Kris_Liu Editor: Vermillion
On the fifteenth floor of the headquarter of the Congress, in a bright office.
The exotic, dark-yellow carpet was thick and soft. The magic crystal light on the ceiling was dazzling even when it was not on. Several complicated magic circles were carved on the surface of the dark-red table made of precious wood. In the corner of the room, behind the bar counter, there were the bottles of wine and Lucien’s favorite drink, Sky Blue... This was the office for Lucien Evans, the fifty-fourth mber of Arcana Review Board. The papers would be sent to Lucien through the magic circles.
"If I am not in the office, sort the papers first and then send them to every evening," said Lucien to the steel golem. "If I am not around, you can send the papers to my teacher, the Lord of Storm."
Lucien dared not send out the papers to the other mbers of the institution. After all, the reason why the papers were sent to him was that they were all possible bombs. However, fortunately, this kind of papers were very few.
The eyes of the golem shone with red light, and it responded in the tallic voice, "Yes, master."
After becoming the board mber, Lucien not only got his exclusive office but also a magic servant. He could choose from the arcana puppets, gas servants, elentals, and the golems. After selecting carefully, Lucien chose the most expensive one—the steel golem made in the year of 812. It was said that the golem could fight for its master for a few minutes even in a very strong magnetic field.
Lucien adjusted his collar a bit and stepped out of the office.
Walking along the corridor, Lucien ran into the several junior and middle-rank arcanists working in Arcana Review Board.
When seeing the badge on Lucien’s chest, they greeted Lucien with great respect, "Arcana’s above, Mr. Evans."
"Morning." Lucien slightly nodded.
When stepping into the hall, the gate guard, an adamantine golem, also greeted using its low voice, "Take care, Mr. Evans."
Lucien heard that an adamantine golem was capable of fighting against a gold knight. Looking at the golem up and down, Lucien’s eyes lit up and he wished that he could have one.
In the entire Congress, there were only a few adamantine golems. Each one or two of them were responsible for safeguarding the most important places in the tower such as the highest arcana and magic library, the major warehouse, the high-level summoning chambers, and the highest council office.
And Lucien’s current wealth could not even afford a senior-rank mithril golem.
...
On the thirty-third floor of the magic tower of Allyn.
As usual, Lucien was in his teacher’s office having his howork checked.
In the office, besides the Lord of Storm, Thompson and Alferris were also there. Right now, Alferris was sleeping on the carpet next to Fernando’s feet just like a little puppy, slightly snoring.
"Thompson, I’ll talk to you about the paper later..." Fernando put down the paper in his hand and looked at Lucien, "Lucien, it’s ti for you to switch to a new ditation thod now since the new power of your soul has beco more stable. Your spiritual power level’s about the fifth circle, so your current ditation thod is not really working for you. I have a new ditation thod here that’s quite suitable for you, and it’s enough for you until you reach the eighth circle. Do you want to try it?"
Of course, Lucien would love to follow a better ditation thod. He felt that his teacher should not even bother asking. Lucien had been prepared to buy a new ditation thod from the highest arcana and magic library if his teacher was not going to make any offers.
"Sure, sir. Thank you very much!" Lucien’s eyes were full of excitent.
Fernando took out a black old book and said to Lucien seriously, "My ditation thod isn’t bad, but the best ditation thod for you should be developed by yourself based on your own situations and needs. When your cognition world has been basically substantialized, you can alter and and your spiritual power and soul bit by bit using the several high-level diation thods. If you can co up with your own ditation thod that really works for you, it will be more hopeful for you to reach the legendary level. However, improving ditation is a risky and tough job. Before you’re prepared, don’t try it like a fool. I don’t want to have a student like a fool."
Fernando’s red eyes stared at Lucien in a very stern way, and he added, "Even one day when your cognition world has been basically substantialized, you also have to be very careful, or after a big bang, nothing of you would be left. You hear ?"
"Yes, sir." Lucien dared not to tell Fernando that his cognition world had been basically substantialized, so he was going to wait for another two to three years in case Fernando would feel suspicious. At the sa ti, Lucien was also glad that he was still being busy with sothing else and so far he had not got enough ti with improving his ditation thod. There were two reasons why Lucien could substantialize the cognition world so fast: one was that he knew that the transmission of power was not consistent; and the other was the fact that the two cosmical constants in the two worlds were, in fact, the sa, which had brought Lucien great cognition impact and his cognition world had thus been reford. This was Lucien’s biggest secret, and it was very difficult for him to find other excuses to explain.
Taking over the old book, Lucien was a bit embarrassed to see the na of the book: Fernando’s ditation thod. It was obvious that Fernando was not an expert in naming things.
"You’d better stay in Allyn in the next three years, Lucien. If you have to, you must report to or Affairs Committee." Thompson reminded Lucien, "You’re on the 53rd place on the list now, the first person under the legendary level. Countless night watchers, red-robed cardinals and saint knights are eagerly trying to kill you. I even wouldn’t be surprised if Philibell or Vaharall co to kill you in person."
Lucien nodded seriously, as he knew that the Church was like a crazy hound and he was right now like a little hare. Even Felipe, a person who was definitely very proud and arrogant, had also been staying in Allyn or Heidler for the two years and improving himself quietly. However, two to three years later, there would be for sure other big things happening and the Church would be distracted.
This was why Lucien was willing to reveal the fact that he was also the designer of Miracle Experint when putting forward his discovery of the electron. He was prepared to stay in Allyn in the following two to three years, and then things should be fine.
"Then... Can I go to Rentato?" asked Lucien. As one of the senior mbers of the Will of Elents, Lucien should attend the etings.
Fernando waved his hand in a straightforward manner, "Let them co to Allyn... Or you use Hathaway’s demiplane to go directly to the Royal Magic Tower of Holm."
...
After Lucien left the office, Thompson sighed, "Lucien’s going to get another two items with the Holm Crown prize, and maybe also an Immortal Throne. I’m already an eighth-circle arcanist, but the highest honor is still like a dream to ."
The ears of Alferris also twitched a bit in the dream, as if the little dragon also heard Thompson’s words.
"If everything goes well, an Ice & Snow dal should also go to Lucien," Fernando said so to motivate his student.
Alferris slightly opened its eyes and it seed that its amber-colored pupils could see the precious stones on the rings and the many powerful amulets.
Thompson put on a bit bitter smile and said, "Before becoming a senior-rank, Lucien can probably get the highest honor in the three different fields. Sothing like this has only happened four or five tis in history so far."
"Lucien found the electron from gas discharging... It reminds people of lightning..." Fernando suddenly switched the topic. "Brook has seized the opportunity by taking the risk of entering the cloud layer where flashes of lightning and thunders were in. He has proved that the electron is one of the reasons for the formation of natural lightning. In other words, if Moonsong League can be more generous, Lucien should be qualified of getting a Silver Moon dal as well."
Fernando’s words made Alferris’s mouth water. Hurriedly, Alferris raised its claw and wiped the drool away. Its eyes were shining with excitent.
"The highest honor from the four different fields... This has never happened before..." Thompson felt that it was better for him to stick to his career as a battle mage.
"But Lucien’s from the Will of Elents, so I don’t think Moonsong League will be that generous. They will find an excuse." Fernando grinned since he did not care, "They can play blind, and I’m not going to accuse them of doing so. One day, they will find no more excuse other than giving Lucien the dal."
Thompson never expected that Fernando would speak this highly of his student.
"I’m going to teach Lucien more things about electromagnetism," said Fernando. He confidently picked up Thompson’s paper.
Thompson realized that Fernando was actually speaking highly of himself.
When waiting for his teacher reading the paper, Thompson felt a bit nervous. anwhile, Alferris quietly moved to the door of the office.
After Alferris tiptoed out of the office, Fernando smiled, "I’ll be more assured if Lucien has Alferris following him around."
"I wonder this ti how many years will Alferris sell itself to Lucien for?" Thompson joked.
...
Lucien went back to his office in Atom Institution.
"Mr. Evans, good afternoon," greeted Lazar humorously, but also with so respect. "Hey, if I directly submit my paper to you, can you give so more credits?"
Rock, Lazar and the rest of the arcanists in the institution had been playing the joke a lot recently.
"No problem. But if it’s not a subversive paper, I’ll take a hundred credits from you." Lucien grinned and opened his office door.
In the office, Lucien slled the refreshing fragrance of the flowers.
"Flowers in my office? You did this for ?" Lucien asked. There was a lovely designed vase on his desk holding a bunch of bright flowers.
"It wasn’t ." Lazar shook his head, "Maybe it’s a gift from soone else... Many sorcerers have been coming to us recently to say congratulations to you, and, of course, wish to join the institution."
"So I’ve been hiding in my office recently," as Lucien was saying, he walked towards the desk. When he walked past the vase, he suddenly noticed a slight burning feeling on his skin. His cognition world that had been basically substantialized also suddenly thrilled from the burning feeling, and the electrons circling around were moving very fast.
"Radiation? A radioactive elent? Curse?" Lucien was shocked.
