——Asking for Sanjiang tickets~
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………
After closing the door of Smile's room, Lucian concentrated his mental power and changed the structure and frequency of the weak mental power mark on the owl Doro, so that it would disappear directly, because as soon as he left, Smile would definitely carefully check Doro to find the reason why it was being followed, Lucian didn't want his unique mental power use skills to be discovered and cracked so quickly.
Still cautiously walking to the back door, Lucian once again cast the "Silent Portal" and "Switch Technique", quietly left the Copper Crown Tavern, and then made a big circle before returning to his cabin.
Lying on the bed, Lucian actually felt a little relieved, in the powerful Alto, meeting a magic apprentice companion, it was like in a storm, someone cooperated to face it, no longer had to move forward alone: "They are all magic apprentices, I don't know how many reclusive magicians are left in Alto?"
…………
In the next few days, Lucian lived his own regular life, getting up early in the morning, exercising his body and practicing swordsmanship for an hour, and then went to work in the library, sometimes reading religious texts and travelogues, sometimes reading music theory knowledge, memorizing fingerings and musical notation, and sometimes analyzing spells, magic circle structures, etc. in the soul library.
Although Pierre is very lewd, when he falls into the world of music, he is a very quiet teenager who will not disturb Lucian's studies at all, and Wolf was invited to play in a certain count's territory during this time, and did not come to the library.
The only small regret is that I didn't get to see Ms. Sylvia, known as the "Musical Lily", a twenty-four-year-old unmarried musician, and Pierre admired her appearance very much, describing her as a gentle and elegant stunning goddess. Lucian had no covetousness, he was just infected by Pierre's fanatical attitude and was very curious, but unfortunately Sylvia was good at the harpsichord, haunted the piano rooms of many aristocratic girls and ladies, and rarely came to the Musicians' Association.
And in the afternoon, due to the good learning effect, Lucian's learning time on words has been compressed to one hour, and then he is like Lot and Phyllis, reading music theory knowledge, and waiting for four o'clock, he began to practice piano for two hours, over and over again, Lucian's tenacity and stubbornness hidden in his heart were vividly played in this matter, and he never stopped until he was satisfied.
At night, it is the time for Lucian to learn magic and study magic, without being distracted by anything.
On Friday evening, when going to Aunt Alyssa's house for dinner, Lucian noticed that in an inconspicuous corner next door, several simple graphics were drawn like children.
"At 10 o'clock on Saturday night, wait for me in front of the sixth abandoned house in the easternmost part of the Adjean district. Owl."
"Owl" is Smile's code name.
Lucian, who took a casual glance and interpreted its contents, walked into Aunt Alyssa's house with a steady expression and a steady pace.
…………
At 9:30 p.m. the next day, the soft silver moon and bright stars were covered by dark clouds, and the night was dark and depressing.
Lucian put on a black robe with a hood, checked the location and quantity of magic materials, put the "Ice and Snow Avenger" ring on his left index finger, and then carefully felt the surroundings before carefully going out and dissolving into the darkness of the night.
Under the damp, dreary warm wind, Lucian spent twenty minutes walking to the easternmost part of the Adjean district and found the abandoned house.
The whining owl came from the cry, and Lucian hurriedly looked at the tall willow tree next to the house, and saw Smile also standing in the shade of the tree in a black robe, but Smile had already lifted his hood so that Lucian could recognize him, while Owl Doro stood leisurely on the willow tree, watching the surroundings and guarding the party inside.
"Mr. Professor, it is our honor for you to come to our gathering." Smile put on his hood and covered his face, his tone full of joy, "I have already told other companions about you, they are very happy and want to ask you for some magic problems, of course, we will pay for this kind of guidance."
"Magic puzzle? Hehe, it seems that they still don't believe that I am an official 'magician'." Lucian said amusemently in his heart, although Lucian didn't know how much difference he had in knowledge between himself and the formal magician, but he was sure that he was better than most magic apprentices in this regard.
Hearing Lucian speak so confidently, Smile affirmed his identity as an official magician: "Mr. Professor, please come with me."
The black robe was very difficult to distinguish in the night, but the abandoned house was just a dozen steps away, and Lucian easily followed Smail to the door.
Dong dong dong dong dong ...... Smile knocked on the wooden door in a strange rhythm and then imitated the owl calling twice.
After waiting for five seconds, the wooden door slowly opened, and a man in the same black robe stood in the dilapidated house: "Owl, this is Mr. Professor?"
His voice was hoarse, and it sounded like it had been deliberately changed.
"Yes." Smile replied briefly in the same low voice, "Mr. Professor, this is the 'Fire Wolf'."
Lucian nodded lightly with his hooded head: "Hello." The left hand was hidden in his sleeve, and the ice avenger was ready to go.
After entering the small living room of the house, you will pass through another door and arrive at the storage room, where there is a staircase leading down.
"Basement!" Lucian reacted suddenly, why was he obsessed with building a magic laboratory in the sewers? Obviously, you can make a small basement by yourself, and there is not only a sewer below the ground.
At that time, you can conduct magic experiments and spellcasting exercises in the basement with little movement and little magic fluctuations, and if there is a lot of movement, you can find a remote place in the Melze Black Forest, build a complete underground laboratory, and conduct experiments once a week.
The basement was not large, with eleven low stools, surrounded by a long table in the middle, with two candles lit on it, and the yellowish flames swayed, reflecting eight magic apprentices in black robes and black hoods in an eerie and terrifying way.
After Lucian walked down cautiously and with high alert, Fire Wolf and Smile closed the entrance to the basement and followed them down, sitting on an empty low stool.
Smile stood up and glanced at all the magic apprentices: "Everyone, this is Mr. Professor, a formal magician with profound knowledge and strong strength."
Then he introduced the magic apprentices to Lucian: "This is white honey, morning star, reindeer, white gloves, oak trees, sages, mercury, hanging dead."
Lucian nodded: "It's nice to meet you, before you start, can you let me take a look at that book "Arcane"?"
The sage replied in an old voice: "No problem, Mr. Professor, feel free to look at it, we will communicate ourselves first. By the way, I brought the set of magic experimental vessels you need, if you can guide me on a magic question later, then this set of magic experimental utensils belongs to you, if not, then you need thirty silver nars."
As he spoke, he handed Lucian a book with a dark black hard cover.
Lucian received it and did not open it immediately, but looked at the cover carefully.
There are countless brilliant silver-white lines in the deep black that makes people's eyes seem to be sucked in, and they form two lingua franca words "Arcane" and a few finger-sized words: "Sacred Calendar 790 No. 11", which is simple and has a deep mystery, and the text is made of parchment.
Opening the table of contents, Lucian saw that there were twenty-four articles on it, the first of which was: "Discussion on Several Questions About the Failure of the Fifth Search for Planets", and his heart moved, so he flipped directly to it:
"The gravitational theory established by Mr. Douglas can perfectly explain the construction principles of a lot of force field magic, and even most astrological magic, and through this theory, we have created a lot of new and powerful magic, which is one of the main foundations of the force field system in the two majestic palaces of the classic magic system."
"With the help of gravitational theory, we have summarized the three laws of planetary motion from the chaotic laws of astrological changes, which have significant guiding significance for 'astrology', 'stargazing' and other prophetic magic."
……
"But Mr. Douglas's gravitational theory has a very important problem that has not been proven, from the gravitational theory, we can deduce its formula, we can know that the continent we are on is also on a planet, it is rotating on its own, it is rotating around the sun, and the planets in the sky are also doing similar motion. According to the formula of gravity and the laws of planetary motion, we can accurately calculate the positions of these planets."
"However, when I pinpointed and used the space jump magic I had been preparing for a long time to reach the location I calculated, I couldn't see any planet, nor could I see the continent we were on."
"Why is that? The gravitational planet that should be waiting for me there, as if it never existed. In that position, I can feel gravity as if I were on land: but it is so strange that it cannot be measured, where are those planets?"
…………
When Lucian knew that the stars in the sky still represented destiny, he understood that the planets in this world were weird, but he didn't expect them to be so weird.
