Chapter 237: Two Sides of the Land

Translator: _Leo_ Editor: Vermillion

The vibrant and colorful flowers were dancing in the wind. They made the pink-whitish buildings look alive. Inside the mansion, there were several platforms with complicated patterns engraved on the surface of them within a spacious room that was locked. Equipment like glass bottles, reaction burners, and connecting tubes were placed on top of those platforms. When compared to the normal lab equipment Lucien had seen on Earth, the equipment on the platform looked mysterious due to the enigmatic magic runes on them.

He had changed to a long lab robe from the black frock coat so he could move freely in the room. Lucien was focusing on the magic circles that could simulate the different parts of the spell models. A ball of red shadow appeared in the dark and it slowly stabilized after combining the models. Although it was a blurry shadow, he could see that it was a creature that looked like a rat with different colors on its body parts due to the difference in temperature.

Lucien deactivated the magic circles with a satisfied look on his face. He then whistled and turned on the arc lamps in the lab room. A palm-sized tiny house that was built with bricks and wooden planks appeared on the platform as the room was brightened up. Inside the house, there was an iron-eating rat with a modified bloodline, that was captured recently.

“Finally, Lucien’s Infrared Eyes is completed but it seems the effect is weaker than I expected. Sadly, it’s just a second circle spell, but I can use it as a way to check my surroundings.” Lucien was familiar with the principles of the infrared thermal imaging technology but he was having trouble applying them to the patterns, runes, and incantations of the magic structure. He spent months studying the basics in the Congress of Magic and finally had the ability to create formal spells, as he could only create apprentice-level spells before that.

Lucien turned off the arc lamps after memorizing the spell model he created in mind.

The complicated and tongue-twisting incantation slowly echoed in the darkness as the shiny powder of the sun stone slid down Lucien’s hands. His spiritual power vibrated and changed as he chanted the incantation, quickly constructing the core of the spell model under Lucien’s control.

Lucien’s left pupil turned from black to red, reflecting the image of the iron-eating rat in the cage, but the layering of the image was lacking.

Lucien turned his head to the window that was covered by the black curtain, he looked outside with his red left eye and saw a “red” bird flew by.

Lucien brought the light back to the lab room after making sure that the second circle spell was working. The redness faded away from his left eye and he could construct it in his soul when meditating during the night.

However, the strength of a sorcerer’s souls was limited, and they could only construct a certain number of spell models at each rank. They needed to match their spells in a reasonable way, for example, supportive spells did not need to be constructed in the soul, they could just cast it with incantation, casting gestures, or magic materials when necessary.

There were many books like Spell Matching Technique in the Congress of Magic, explaining the knowledge of this specific field.

Although Lucien’s Infrared Eyes was a supportive spell, it was very likely that he would cast it when being ambushed by an assassin. It would be important for him to cast it faster in that situation so he could track the assassin down easier.

Lucien rested for a while and opened his magic notebook, stopped at an extremely complicated image of a spell structure, closed his eyes, and started meditating.

The starry sky of destiny was surrounded by the wind, fire, and water elements. The elements were the ones which composed Lucien’s meditation environment.

In the meditation environment, the colorful elements were moving following several specific paths. They looked like glowing fireflies moving in an endless night sky. They matched up with each other and then separated from time to time. It was a mysterious scene that was hard to be understood, and displayed the secrets and rules among the elements.

Lucien grabbed the quill and started drawing the paths that he sensed during the process after finishing his meditation. They quickly turned into magic patterns and runes.

Lucien stopped drawing as the spell model was almost completed. The model was built with straight lines, curves, and curved surfaces, but he was confused. He was trapped in the problem that had been bothering him since he started learning sorcery.

“Why can those magic patterns and runes represent some of the spell structure? Why can I cast the spell after they’re combined with the spiritual power? Why did the structure appear after I completed the periodic table and the meditation environment resonated with the real world? K, Lazar, and Rock have already accepted the periodic law of elements and mapped them into the meditation environment but none of them resonated with the real world after I checked with them…

“What is the nature of the sorcery?”

Lucien put down the quill after writing down his questions and synchronized them to the magic notebook in the soul library. He started thinking about the third circle spell that was about to be constructed.

“The spell came from the periodic law of the basic elements. It basically involves controlling, switching their electrons, and returning them to their original positions. It can be used to decompose chemical compounds like alchemy products, magic items, human body parts, and some spells. The more unstable the compound status is, the easier it can be decomposed. However, the ability to control them will only improve as the sorcerer rank goes up. It’s like the weaker version of the legendary spell from Hathaway, the Lord of Elements, Elements Resolve.”

Lucien had already read some core information after joining the Will of Elements and the information introduced the ability, statuses, and the materials required for the advancing ritual of the two legendary classes: Lord of the Elements and Innovator. Also, the abilities of the legendary spells that came with the classes were also explained.

“It seems I’ll be able to complete the third circle spell before I become a middle-rank sorcerer. If I can successfully advance to the next rank, the two spell models I’ll construct will be this and the flying spell. So, how should I name it? Lucien’s Elements Resolve? Evan’s Elements Control? They either sound bad or repetitive.” Lucien thought for a while and recalled the cool nickname Florencia gave him, “Alright, I’ll just call it Elemental Order!”

A third circle spell with a name that was similar to those of a ninth circle and a legendary spell, Lucien’s guilty pleasure was satisfied. It was a signature spell, just like his Professor’s Oscillation Hand.

Lucien calmed down from the excitement and, when he was about to start the next magic experiment, he realized that he used up most of the magic materials, so he was disappointed.

In the last several months, Lucien purchased the White Glycerin, the Silver Pearl, and the Oak potions to help progress the meditation with the elemental rain. The three potions were very effective for junior rank sorcerers. The White Glycerin and Silver Pearl would help strengthen one’s spiritual power and soul. The Oak and Florencia’s Elixir helped him stabilize his foundation. Lucien’s sorcery skills were increasing at an unbelievable rate with the help of those things.

However, potions with strong effects were expensive. The White Glycerin was ten arcana points per bottle, the Silver Pearl was twenty arcana points per bottle, and the Oak was eight points per bottle. He needed to purchase three bottles of each potion every month.

Lucien would get forty-five arcana points from the Congress of Magic every month after becoming a level four arcanist and second circle sorcerer, but he had to use some of the arcana points he saved in the past. Also, he needed to purchase materials for his spell practice, magic analysis, alchemy study, potion craft, and the magic experiment. In this last case, the required materials were extremely expensive. He needed to use high-rank material, like the sun stone, before constructing Lucien’s Infrared Eyes in the soul. Lucien had more than 2670 arcana points five months ago but he only had about 1100 points left after all that.

“Arcana points are so hard to earn, but I can’t do anything without them,” Lucien looked at the empty glass bottles that previously were filled up with magic materials and sighed. Lazar heard him saying something like this several days ago and he was jealous. It was nearly impossible for a normal second circle sorcerer to use magic potions and materials like Lucien. They would spend about fifty arcana points when they were about to advance, but only fifteen points per month under normal circumstances.

In Lazar’s words, Lucien was living the life of a forth or fifth circle sorcerer, and that was why he spent so many arcana points. Also, Lazar admitted that it was normal for a level four arcanist to use so many points.

Lucien calmed down and cleaned the magic lab.

He smiled and shook his head. “No pain, no gain. I can try to advance to the third circle and become a middle-rank sorcerer before I use up all my arcana points. I’ll be able to fly in the blue sky using my own will.

“Well, I need to go to the magic tower of the headquarter and the Allyn division of Will of Elements to purchase materials and potions again. The good thing is that I can get a 20% discount as a level four arcanist and it’ll make me feel better…

“July the 30th again…”

…

The City of Psalm, the ground level of an abbey in Aalto.

Natasha was wearing a long linen robe with her feet bare. The long purple hair trailed over her shoulders, and her silver-purple eyes were deep like an endless sea. It felt like the danger was hiding under the peaceful surface of the sea. Natasha had not left the place for over a year and she successfully cured the consequences of the surge force in her bloodline power. She was getting closer and closer to level seven without any problem.

The room was dark but Natasha’s eyes could see everything clearly. She sat on the floor on her knees and was reading a letter from somewhere far away.

“Haha, this guy will stand on the center of the stage and bring chaos to the land no matter where he is. I’m glad that he safely arrived at Allyn.” It would take about half a year for a letter from Holm to be delivered, but Natasha already learned that a genius sorcerer named Lucien Evans X artificially synthesized the carbamide from the intel department of the Church and the Republic months ago. The discovery forced the Church to redefine the Creationism.

The Church focused on dealing with Felipe and they did not pay too much attention to this genius sorcerer. Although Natasha assumed that it was Lucien, she was worried until the letter that was written in special codes arrived. Also, she started arranging a plan for John so the Church would not retaliate after they found out who Lucien really was.

Natasha bit her lips with her clean teeth and talked to herself with mixed emotions, “Are you the reason why they modified the Holy Canon?”

Natasha was a relatively devout believer. She trusted the Creationism a lot in the past, and it was an unpleasant experience when what she believed was proven wrong.

She had a strong mind and that was what helped her finish the letter. Natasha’s expression loosened as she was attracted to the events that unfolded during Lucien’s trip. The story was much better than the operas or the ones told by the bards.

Natasha was a bit surprised as she read through the letter, “He was awarded the Holm Crown Prize as well?” She spoke in a caring tone, and a gentle expression appeared on her face as she thought about her mother.

Natasha chuckled after thinking for a while. “How long has this guy been studying arcana? How did he get the prize? Don’t tell me he’s more talented in arcana than in music.

“Anyway, he’s definitely not talented in communicating with girls, ha, he’s still alone, and I should probably teach him the way of dealing with girls. Hmm, Lucien will cooperate with the elves and druids? Will the music of nature from the elves inspire him? Rhine? Haven’t heard about him for a while…

“I sent him a letter last month but I don’t know when he will receive it.”

The dark room was quiet and the atmosphere in there was light.
