Lalala, lala, lala......
The cheerful and lively serenade melody in G major fills the spacious living room, creating a warm and cheerful atmosphere, and Annick, Leielijah, Splinter and other apprentices who studied the arcane with Lucian dance in imitation of their imaginary aristocrats while quietly peeking at Mr. Evans playing the piano next to him.
His upper body in a black night dress was very stretched, swaying slightly with the light beating of his fingers, his profile was handsome and focused, and his mouth was smiling, like an oil painting with the ultimate beauty of playing the piano.
When the melody ended, Lucian got up from the piano bench and smiled gently and happily: "Ladies and gentlemen, Happy New Year."
Heidi and the other apprentices said in unison: "Mr. Evans, Happy New Year!"
Some of their voices are clear, some are slightly low and charming, some are magnetic, and some are hoarse and ugly because of the arrival of the voice change period, which makes Lucian very emotional.
"Today is the first day of 818, I hope you can take a step forward on the road of magic in the new year." Lucian walked back to the dining table, picked up the "Sky Blue" drink, and raised it to the apprentices.
Katrina and the other apprentices picked up their glasses and said with a smile: "We wish Mr. Evans a mid-level magician in the new year."
When the New Year arrives, Lucian's friends such as K, Lazar, Roque, Jerome, and Cindy return to their respective homes to reunite with their loved ones, so he invites apprentices from across the Stormy Strait to his villa so that they don't stay alone at Douglas School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
Over the past year, Annick, Leilia, Heidi, Sprint, and Katrina have all successfully entered the Advanced Apprenticeship class thanks to Lucian's guidance, and Cherie has fully followed the course and become a full-fledged magic apprentice.
After a pleasant dinner, the apprentices said goodnight one by one and returned to their respective rooms—they were so excited just now that they were a little tired now.
Cherie, who was walking at the end of the stairs, suddenly turned her head to look at Lucian and smiled slightly shyly: "Mr. Evans, there is actually a sentence I have always wanted to say, when you play the piano, you really look like the genius musician in the description, and when I think of him, I think of "Dedicated to Sylvia", and I think of Jacques who is fighting for the future, which fills my heart with warmth and strength. Mr. Evans, thank you, thank you for your piano."
"What an enviable love." Lucian replied with a joking smile.
Seeing the maids come in to clean up the dining table and hall, Lucian also went up the stairs and returned to his study, then turned on the arc light, sat on the back chair, and opened a letter on the desk.
It was sent from Aalto half a year ago, but it just arrived today, and most of the text in it is written in the agreed code language:
「…… Some miss the blue sky and white clouds outside, some miss my knight's longsword, miss the passionate and majestic battles, the blood-pumping metal clashes, and the music that makes people's hearts burst with all kinds of emotions."
「…… You should have arrived in Alinge, I wonder if the Sky City still has all kinds of strange scenery that is different from other cities as I remember......"
"Lucian, is Holm's food as monotonous as I said? I always thought it was the worst dish on the continent. When I think about how long you will be with grilled fish, chips, etc., please allow me to observe a five-minute silence for you and then laugh a few times maliciously......"
「…… When I was a child, I often snuggled up to my mother and listened to her tell all kinds of anecdotes about arcane and magic, it was a magnificent and mysterious world, I wish you to forget the oppression and pain of the past in this world of your own, and happily learn arcane and magic. With your talent, I think you may become an intermediate magician in a few years, and I am full of confidence in my good friends......"
「…… By the way, Lucian, how is my Uncle Patrick's health? His letters to me were always vague about this aspect, which gave me a bad feeling......"
"Your friend John has inspired the Bloodline power to become a knight, but I was a little surprised that his bloodline is 'Eliminate'. Fortunately, he was not a paladin of the church and would not join the Night's Watch, otherwise this would be another trick of fate. No, even if it is the arrangement of fate, I believe you will not give in and will knock that hateful fate to the ground and step on ten thousand feet like me. I have never complained about the tricks of fate about Sylvia, because from beginning to end, we have made mistakes one by one, and we have to bear our own mistakes, which is the simplest truth."
"I'm sorry to make you feel a little bad about me, but I'll try to overcome it, I'm strong. Next, let's talk about happy things, your Uncle Joel still likes to be a street performer on the street, and according to Aunt Camille, he enjoys the joy that music brings him. Your Aunt Alyssa lost her job in the textile guild because they did not dare to hire a knight's mother to do the laundry, and she now manages John and your manor."
"Little Evan is now learning words while training as a knight with Sir Wayne. Elena quit her job at the Musicians' Association and focused on her violin studies, wanting to become an excellent musician. Mr. Victor and little Phyllis returned to Aalto after their trip, praising your iconoclastic and so beautiful Moonlight Sonata. Little Phyllis began to prepare for her own concert. Hearing her fight for her dreams, I always have a sense of peace and tranquility, maybe part of the meaning of life is always in my friends......"
"Mr. Rhein hasn't been seen since the Aalto Festival, and I don't know what happened in Aalto at that time......"
"The path of magic requires concentration, but don't forget that life is not just about magic, it's about music, it's about food, it's about fighting, it's about friends, it's about love. Hey, through our usual relationships, I found that Lucian, you have a persistence in love, and you fantasize about the most sincere and beautiful relationship in your heart. Tsk, what a pure good boy, a real old-fashioned gentleman. I hope you meet the girl in your mind sooner, and then pursue her bravely, move forward, move forward, destroy all obstacles head-on, 'defeat' her, 'conquer' her, and don't be shy! If you don't know how to pursue girls, you can write to me."
"Finally, happy birthday, my good friend."
"Natasha, June 30, 1817."
Lucian read the letter with a smile all the time, there was no fancy rhetoric in it, but the slow narration gave Lucian a plain and warm feeling, like an old friend who hadn't seen each other for many years without any rusty communication.
"This guy, I wrote to ask you for a year, and the girl has already been pursued and left......" After reading the letter, Lucian felt calm and peaceful, and his mental state was very good, so he stood up and left the study and came to his meditation room.
Closing the door and sitting on a special chair, Lucian took out a tube of green potion from the storage bag, which was verdant and dripping, like a delicious drink.
This is the "Flying" potion, which is refined from the natural leaves of the blessed elf tree and other materials, even if Lucian's main material does not cost money, the auxiliary material also costs more than 70 arcane points. Coupled with the cost of potions and experimental materials for meditation and the "elemental" ring in the past four months, Lucian now only has sixty-one arcane points left, and I have to say that magicians are a money-burning profession.
In the quiet mood, Lucian calmly poured the "Flying" potion into his mouth, the taste was sweet and clear, far better than other strange potions.
Lucian's entire soul suddenly felt light and unaffected, and he easily entered the meditation environment, its transparency and crystal clear, as clear as a lake without any impurities.
The potion slowly dissolved, and the auxiliary spiritual power poured into the soul peacefully, containing a complex spell model, which was the astrological "flying" magic.
If the mathematical foundation is not good, or simply an ancient inheritance magician, then the next step is to directly outline the real spell model on the illusory lines of the crystal, which has high requirements for mental strength and low requirements for arcane knowledge.
But Lucian did not have a weakness in this regard, but through the power blessing of the main star of fate and surrounding elemental particles next to the illusory crystal, he vibrated his spiritual power and soul, and outlined a curve belonging to the flying technique by himself.
The data and properties of the curve had already been analyzed and calculated by Lucian, and at this time, the bystander-like consciousness steadily controlled the mental power and methodically constructed the spell model.
Once he can rely on his arcane knowledge to analyze the three-ring magic and be promoted to intermediate magician, it means that Lucian's mathematical foundation is completely solid and he can choose his future arcane research direction.
One by one, complex mathematical symbols, calculation formulas and a set of sub-structural schematics kept appearing and turning in front of Lucian's eyes, mysterious and difficult, as if they could attract all the spirits, but Lucian ignored the spiritual illusion brought about by this promotion, but concentrated on outlining the final line of "Flying".
As soon as it was outlined, the entire spell model erupted with a bright and dim mixed light, frantically absorbing spiritual power and enveloping Lucian's entire soul.
Lucian's own spiritual power was already sufficient, so he calmly excluded the spiritual power assistance brought by the "Flying" potion, allowing the light of promotion to transform the soul.
In a burst of tingling from the depths of his soul, the light gradually subsided, and Lucian's soul became almost substantial, becoming more and more crystal clear, and all the small crystal-like spell models surrounded the "flying" models that were larger than them like a bow worship.
This is a manifestation of successfully being promoted to the third ring!
However, Lucian did not stop, and with the help of the "Flying" potion, he continued to construct spell models in the soul, first "Elemental Order", and then "Lucian's Great Fireball".
The latter is an offensive elemental magic based on the principle of nitroglycerin structure!
Even when Lucian is only three rings, its power is comparable to Timothy's modified four-ring magic "chain explosion", but it is very unstable after being constructed, and often explodes without flying to a predetermined distance, hurting others and hurting oneself, and needs to be exchanged for super magic skills to cooperate.
I don't know how long it took, the window of the meditation room suddenly opened without wind, and Lucian suddenly soared into the air, flew out of the window, and flew over Alinge.
Under the starry sky like diamonds inlaid with black velvet, Lucian blew the cold wind in the sky, looking at the quiet Alinge with the lights below, and suddenly felt a sense of leisure and refreshment.
This is the feeling of flying yourself!
