Outside the window are the green fields and dense forests that are rapidly retreating, below is the "steel monster" running smoothly, and in front of the exquisite and delicious black pepper steak, Louise really feels like a dream, after a long and difficult trek to the Kingdom of Holm, everything she sees is so novel and shocking, so incredible!
Apprentices can perform magic in the street without worrying about church interference; The train platform is built openly in the city, so that ordinary people can see it; A behemoth that could hold hundreds of people with a sharp whistle sound, and was able to run so fast and so smoothly, this kind of high-level alchemy item that should only be enjoyed by magicians above the advanced level can actually be used by both the mage and the apprentice; Alinge's common sense and interests are even different from the ancient magical empire described in books, which is different from heaven and abyss......
If it weren't for the ordinary citizens of the Kingdom of Holm seen in "Port Padre", except for their conservative and unique dress, they were no different from the people of the Duchy of Vaulite, Louise would definitely think that she had come to a new world.
No, this is a new world, and my life has opened a new page!
Louise touched her long black hair like a waterfall, and said with firmness, strength and yearning expectation. She comes from an ordinary aristocratic family, and her family has secretly passed down magic for generations, allowing children who cannot stimulate the knight's bloodline to learn. In this way, someone can prepare a blood-stimulating potion according to the secret formula to ensure that the knights of the family will be "forever extinguished" and their status will be steadily improved.
Unfortunately, no matter how prudent the measures were, their family was drafted to participate in the recent war against the heretics in the north, most of the men died on the battlefield, and the women remarried, leaving only her grandfather and her, who was only a few years old at the time, so distant relatives began to covet titles and property.
Unable to stimulate her bloodline on her own, she had to choose the inheritance of magic and learn magic from a magician her grandfather had recruited.
The splendor and vastness of the magical world deeply attracted her, but she could only live a life of fear, and she had to often cover up her whereabouts like a mouse, until she accidentally discovered that the famous musician Sylvia was an apprentice "White Honey" she knew.
Later, after inheriting the family inheritance and secret materials, she exchanged the secret materials for the silver moon elixir from her teacher, and was promoted to the official mage rank. In order to cover up the magician's abnormal mental fluctuations, she exchanged most of her inheritance and savings from music performances for holy water, inspired the bloodline of manipulating animals, and became a new musician.
But all this still couldn't satisfy her, especially the fact that her teacher was severely injured and killed by the night watch while exploring the ruins in the Black Forest often woke her up in the middle of the night, afraid that one day the night watch would appear in her room, so she studied hard and made music desperately, hoping to have a louder reputation, meet more great nobles, and get their blessings.
"My request is not excessive, I just want to live quietly and steadily and study magic, but it seems that it will never be satisfied." At this moment, the arrival of the "professor" opened the door to a new world and gave her hope, the only regret was to say goodbye to her favorite music and the Aalto Musicians Association.
"Miss Louise?" The puzzled voice of the young magician on the opposite side awakened Louise from her memories.
Louise smiled softly: "I'm sorry, I was shocked by the magic steam train, I remembered some things, Mr. Pan, please continue to talk about the ranking of the stupidest ways to die in Alinge, which is both interesting and enlightening."
The voice is sweet and moving, and the temperament is fresh and gentle, with a hint of melancholy, which most female magicians do not have. They are better than Louise, either intellectual, elegant, or charming, but there are few Louise who are influenced by music and have such artistic temperament.
Klein, who had black hair standing back neatly next to him, also smiled and said: "Mr. Pan, I really didn't expect so many stupid things to happen in magic experiments, exploration and life, hehe, I have to try to avoid it to prevent me from making similar mistakes one day and letting myself be ridiculed by magicians after death."
Pan, who had a typical Holm-style appearance, looked at Louise with a little evasiveness, and said with a bright smile: "It's almost Arlinge, I don't have much time to continue talking about these things, why don't you settle down, I will invite you to dinner again, and continue to share all kinds of strange things about the council."
The objects of the conversation were Louise, Klein, "Flame" Zapatello, and Ricardo "The Hanging Dead" who began to lose their souls when they saw the city of Heidler - some of the apprentices in the Aalto circle did not set off, some died on the way, and only two magicians and two apprentices were left to arrive in Sturk in the end.
Originally, Stewart only sent magicians and selected apprentices over, but the hanged dead and flames relied on their affection for the sage and disguised themselves as his apprentices and were sent over.
"Hmm, are you almost in Alinge?" Louise looked out the window at the sky, as if she couldn't see the shadow of the city.
Pan smiled and pointed: "Above the clouds, you can't see it directly."
Nodding, Louise withdrew her gaze, hesitated for a moment, and asked with a smile: "Mr. Pan, can I ask you something?"
"Louise, don't be so polite, just call me Pan, what's the matter?" Pan quietly changed his name.
Louise asked a little nervously for some reason: "Pan, do you know that there is a gentleman in the council codenamed 'Professor'?" can get on the purification sequence, this code name should also be more famous in Alinge, right?
The eyes of the sage, the hanging dead and others instantly focused on Pan, and the only one they were most familiar with in the council was Mr. "Professor".
"Mr. 'Professor', he was once famous for appearing on the purification sequence and belonged to the 'Elemental Will' organization I just mentioned, but most magicians don't know his true identity, and I don't know who he is." Pan shook his head.
Klein and the others said with a little disappointment: "Then have you ever guessed who it is?"
Pan was about to answer, but the apprentices who were traveling with him suddenly let out an exclamation, and Klein and the others also turned their heads to look out the window, only to see the rails suspended upwards, the train was running fast in mid-air, and the fields, forests and cities below were getting smaller and smaller, like dense ants.
"This is really a miracle...... Klein spent most of his life in Aalto being educated by the church, blurting out "miracles", not far away from the half-mountain peaks floating in the air, lined with magic towers, bright gardens, dense woods, and vast cities, it seems that they can only be described as "miracles".
"Welcome to Alinge." Pan stroked his chest with his left hand and bent down to salute.
Louise's eyes were blurred and murmured: "Is this Alinge......"
After filling in the comments and getting off the magic steam train, Pan led everyone to the headquarters in a carriage.
While watching the street scene and marveling at all kinds of strange alchemy items and inhuman races from time to time, the group quickly arrived at the Alinge Magic Tower and suffered from Prospel's "noise pollution".
"Alchemy life is amazing...... He was like a ......" Louise held back from saying the word "pervert", although she was teased by the flashy Prospel for a couple of sentences, she still admired it like a hillbilly entering the city.
"When you are promoted to a high level and have your own magic tower, you can refine alchemy life." Pan smiled and looked forward to a bright future, even though he knew very well that the six rings were an illusory dream for most low-level magicians.
"Advanced ......" Klein and others all sighed with emotion, which means a great extension of life, means all kinds of powerful means, and even means the possibility of replacing a young body.
Pan glanced at the white wolf who was looking left and right at Louise's feet in the silver hall: "Louise, this familiar of yours is really spiritual, why not take it to the mission area to apply for the 'breeding experiment', I believe that those mages who study bloodline, transformation, and familiars will be happy to accept it, and you can also get precious arcane points."
Louise didn't expect that this kind of thing could be talked about openly, and she blushed a little for a while: "In Aalto, these large animals will be castrated to prevent them from causing damage when they are in heat......"
The white wolf buried his head in his paws and did not dare to face everyone.
"It's a pity, but you can also apply for the task of 'Severed Limb Regeneration Experimental Materials', although you will suffer a little repeatedly, but in the end you will always make up for it......" Pan suggested, "Okay, I'll talk about this later, I'll take the apprentice to the Assessment Department first, and then take you to the Magician Management Department."
"No problem." Klein stared blankly at the silver hall with a style that was very different from the Church of Truth and the aristocratic villa, and looked at the magical elevator.
Louise also looked left and right curiously like a newborn bird, and after taking a few steps, a vague sentence suddenly came from her ear: "...... Lucian Evans is a talented ......."
Lucian Evans? She turned her head abruptly and looked at the few magicians gathered in the center of the hall to discuss things, suspecting that she had heard it wrong, but Klein, the hanging dead, and the "flame" were equally surprised, and the puzzled eyes they looked at each other all told her that there were no auditory hallucinations.
Could it be the same name and surname?
「…… Since he entered the council, he has not made any mistakes in arcane and magic achievements, but he stubbornly insisted on the absurd quantum hypothesis of light this time, which is really a pity......"
"Hmph, Arcane and Magic are about to be released, and I haven't heard that there are any precise experiments to prove that we can write an article to dissect the false contradictions of this hypothesis?"
"Wait a little longer...... Lucian Evans' previous reputation is probably going to be ruined......"
"No, which great arcanist didn't make a mistake? But I hate particle theory supporters!"
……
Sure enough, it was the same name and surname, this Lucian Evans seemed to be a high-level arcanist, I don't know how old he lived...... Louise exhaled softly and casually asked Pan, who was also listening intently to the discussion: "Pan, is this Lucian Evans famous?"
"Commissioner Evans is a genius arcanist who won the highest honors in three different fields before becoming a senior official." Pan said with obvious reverence, envy, dissatisfaction, and anger.
"Commissioner?" Klein had heard Pan introduce the three committees before.
Pan nodded lightly: "The only member of the Arcane Review Committee whose magical strength is only five rings."
"It sounds like a legend." Louise smiled sweetly, her tone full of admiration and yearning.
Pan was about to answer when his eyes suddenly froze, and he pointed to the door: "Commissioner Evans is here."
Louise, Klein and the others looked in the direction of Pan's finger, their expressions suddenly became dull, their mouths opened slightly, and they forgot to close them.
I saw a young man of medium stature wearing a black double-breasted long dress surrounded by a group of boys and girls under the age of twenty, with his hands in his pockets, a top hat of the same color on his head, and a single eye hanging from his left eye.
"Mr. Evans......" Louise said as if in a dream.
Isn't this the great musician, the deceased musical angel Lucian Evans?
Even if you change your clothes!
