Chapter 228: The Surge

Translator: _Leo_ Editor: Vermillion

The steady hand that could accurately separate the dead bodies into different parts and complete the complicated casting gestures at any level was trembling like it had lost the control, although it was just trying to turn the paper to the next page.

“That’s lame and absurd! How can such a paper be published in a brief report?!” The man’s voice was mixed in the chilling wind, it was deep and hoarse. The voice sounded like it was filled up with pain and hatred. “Lucien Evans X, how dare the bastards from the Will of the Elements question the structure of a human’s body? They don’t even know the secret of life. I’ll punish him if I ever meet him!”

Menshaque forgot that the brief report was just a newspaper that was used to share the research progression by the research teams and the papers published on it did not need to be verified.

“No, I need to start the experiment now and expose this despicable lie!” Menshaque suddenly stood up, the facial muscle and the skin that were created with human body parts could barely hide the dark smoke leaking out of his bones.

Similar scenes were happening in most of the research teams. Larry choked on the milk and it sounded he was about to cough to death. Timothy was pushing his glasses up, but he used so much force that the frame of the glasses was pushed to his forehead. The bread that Ulysses was chewing spouted out of his mouth and splashed on the brief report.

The arcanists that focused on elements were surprised at first but they quickly gloated over the discovery and started validating the result using experiments after the breakfast. The reactions from the necromancers varied, some torn the report apart furiously, some were walking around anxiously as they were not sure if they could prove the result wrong with experiments, some forced themselves to calm down and informed the Hand of Paleness about the situation, some were trying to slam their hatred on Lucien’s face…

…

Inside the magic laboratory, there was a loud noise that sounded like metal objects dropping to the floor. Menshaque was floating in the air and he was not moving at all, with the red flames in his eyes almost extinguished. He looked at the lab equipment and the white substance on the ground in surprise, and the magic tube in his right hand cracked under his strong grip. The broken glass pieces pirerced into his palm but Menshaque did not seem concerned.

He had no idea how long had passed, but eventually he muttered, “No, no! I must have done something wrong during the experiment, how can the Life Force Theory be wrong? This doesn’t make sense, so many body refining spells were created using the theory!”

“There is no life force involved in the creation of the carbamide using the nonliving substances in this experiment!”

Menshaque sounded like a paranoid schizophrenic. He was questioning and arguing with a voice that sounded like he was crying sadly. It took him a while to calm down.

The flame of life in Menshaque’s eyes slowly recovered as the time passed, but he was still slightly panicked. “If the consciousness of the world collapsed, the spiritual power would lose control and blow my physical body and soul into pieces… The good thing is that I can adapt to new concepts, also, Rogerio has said that, strictly speaking, carbamide is not a living substance.”

“However, is the Life Force Theory completely true?”

Menshaque’s arcana level was decent and that was the reason why he was sent to assist the research project. He could not help but get suspicious after he calmed down from the shock. A situation as such had happened more than once in the Congress of Magic.

However, Menshaque could feel that the spiritual flame in his phylactery was going to extinguish as he got suspicious about the Life Force Theory.

“No, no. I can’t meditate during this period and I need to stay calm.” Menshaque knew that the contradiction in his mind could only be solved by either time or some stronger evidence. However, he had no way to know if the contradiction would end with the victory of the Life Force Theory or the new concept would win and give him a new idea about the world. Also, it was possible that his meditation would be permanently impacted by the truth and one day he would be destroyed.

Menshaque did not need to breathe but it had already become his habit, so he inhaled deeply. “If I can’t win the war against myself, I’ll have to win the fight against Lucien Evans. He shall not live if I can’t proceed further!”

Rogerio had already informed the necromancers about the possible situations and the theory about carbamide was not that shocking to them, so even the old school necromancers in the research teams were able to keep their meditation somewhat stable. Also, their heads did not explode as they did not lose control of their spiritual force. However, most of the necromancers claimed if anything serious happened, they would all go after the bastard named Lucien Evans.

Lucien was discussing the possible effects of combining the three alchemical substances with the two elves that postponed their return date back in a room beside Raventi’s room, he suddenly noticed the warning from his Host Star of Destiny after the necromancers showed their hatred toward him.

He went to the washroom and cast the Horoscope spell using the Morning Light crystal ball. Lucien’s conclusion was that the path ahead was full of danger but there was still a way to avoid all the possible risks.

“How many days does Felipe need before he can submit the paper…”

Lucien returned to the living room as he thought about it, and was surprised to see that Arcelion and Iristine were reading the brief report in front of them carefully. They looked confused and it seemed like their emotions were unstable.

“What happened? It only took me about ten minutes to cast the Horoscope spell,” Lucien tried to get their attention, “Prince and Princess?”

Arcelion raised his head, the man’s face was pretty and delicate like a woman’s but it seemed he was disgusted by something and his face was full of hatred. “Mr. Evans, you can artificially synthesize carbamide? Did you just overthrow the Life Force Theory?”

“You can understand arcane spells?” Lucien was surprised, as he did not expect that the two elves would understand the arcana paper.

“Our guards learned about the information from the senior elder,” Arcelion responded unconsciously in a polite manner.

Iristine interrupted, “Human beings, cows, sheep, magic creatures, and plants, their life force all comes from the gift of nature, so how can you synthesize the living substance with gas and ores?” She sounded a bit angry.

“That depends on how you define what is a living substance…” Lucien realized that all the living beings were formed by the living substances in the druids’ eyes, and the creation of the living beings was not related to the nonliving substances. However, it seemed the concept would not affect how they interacted and used the mind of nature.

“No matter how it is defined, Mr. Evans, you’re just an evil and fearless devil!” Iristine’s last good impression of Lucien turned to the worst.

“Well, there’s one more devil, actually, two more devils waiting for you,” Lucien thought, but he had no time to argue with the two elves about an arcana problem.

…

*Pa*

Pesor slammed the brief report on the desk, the soul flames were dancing inside the deep eye sockets of his white skull. “Lucien Evans has submitted the paper about the artificially synthesized carbamide experiment!”

Pesor, Tina-Timos, and two other committee members of the Arcana Review Board were relatively open to new theories, so a grand arcanist, the lord of the undead, did not try to hide the matter about Professor from them, and they were well prepared for it.

The one who passed them the information was the lord of the undead and he was the most authoritative one among the necromancers. Also, the four committee members had good arcana thoughts and perceptions, so they accepted the result of the experiment quickly, and they modified some magic effects slightly to verify the result again using the reverse method.

Rogerio was standing opposite to Pesor and there was a grim expression on his face. “The Professor was alerted after Lucien Evans and Felipe were ambushed. He got suspicious and he probably already knew that we were about to succeed, that was why he decided to test us with his student’s experiment. Lucien Evans will become the target even if we don’t get any decisive result and if we do get any, Professor will be able to share the arcana points with Lucien by adding his name to paper. Pesor and Tina, didn’t you notice that Lucien Evans hid the experiment in a paper that was part of the research project result?”

Rogerio took Felipe to Sariva town right after he heard the information.

“Menezes’ situation is getting worse and we need to solve the problem as soon as possible.” Tina-Timos glanced at the other important members of the Hand of Paleness, as they all knew about the situation.

Menezes was another committee member of the Arcana Review Board and he was a master of the body refining technique.

Rogerio had a bitter smile on his face. “In Heidler, Aurelio is so anxious that he’s not acting like a necromancer, and it seems like he plans to kill Lucien Evans.”

Aurelio was an important member of the Hand of Paleness, a member of the Affairs Committee, a level six arcanist, and a seventh-circle necromancer. The man had huge potential and he had studied in the Demiplanes Magic Tower of the Demigod Lich.

“Felipe, how’s your research progressing? Just share the data with us if things are not going well so we can join the research and help you get the decisive result as soon as possible. It’s not the time to hide things from each other!” Pesor stared at Felipe with a serious expression on his face.

Felipe was wearing his signature long black coat with the amulet he won from the Immortal Throne Award hanging over it, and the man’s morbid face was still pale but handsome. Felipe responded with a grim look on his face, “Mr. Pesor, everything is going well, and I’ll be able to artificially synthesize a fatty acid within three days.”

“I hope you’re not lying, otherwise, I’ll punish you no matter what kind of secret background you have.” Pesor was the vice-president of the Hand of Paleness and he had the right to warn Felipe like that.

Felipe bowed politely to everyone in the room. “Gentlemen, if you excuse me, I need to focus on the experiment.”

Felipe walked out of the room after the permission was granted, then pursed his lips into a smile as he walked down the stairs.

“How’s the investigation on the ambush?” Pesor looked at Rogerio.

Rogerio shook his head. “There’s nothing we could find even with the help from the astrologer of the Tower. It seems the astrology was interrupted by a strong but unfamiliar force, otherwise, the result would be clearer.”

“There are more secrets in this world than we think.” Pesor sighed slightly. “Just like the rules of the world. One year ago, no one would have expected someone would overthrow a mature theory like the Life Force Theory.”

…

The second day, the two senior-rank sorcerers’ papers were published on the first page of the brief report in the morning.

The Demonstration of Carbamide’s Nature — by Menezes.

The Meaning and Flaw of the Artificially Synthesized Carbamide — by Aurelio.

Lucien’s paper did not mention anything about the Life Force Theory and they could not find any weak point to attack, so they decided to go straight to the point without talking about the result of the research project.

The grand arcanists acquiesced in such behavior, and as the arguments between the arcanists that focused on elemental sorcery and the ones that focused on soul sorcery were getting more and more serious, they almost forgot why they were invited into the research. Also, druids like Malfurion did not put their attention on the growth of the crops, instead, they focused on this “discussion”.

It was like a surge in Sariva and the brief reports were like their battleground.

However, Lucien claimed that he was not familiar with the Life Force Theory , so he would not join the discussion. The necromancers were happy after reading his claim, as they thought that Lucien was scared and they decided to put more effort into the discussion.

…

“Lucien Evans, a heretic that defiles God! A liar that will never tell the truth! I shall bring him to trial!” In Philibell’s room, Holm’s cardinal, Vaharall the Adjudicator shouted furiously after reading the brief papers from the last several days.

The spy of the church in the Congress of Magic could easily send the complete brief report as the Congress encouraged the discussion, but it would take the spy one day to send the report out.

The Life Force Theory was one of the fundamentals of the Creationism, and that was the reason why Vaharall was enraged after reading Lucien’s paper.
