When Lucien had found most of the materials that he needed, it was time for him to call it a day. “I gotta go now,” said Lucien in his pretended harsh voice, “We can continue over the next meeting.” He also had to go back and review his physics and chemistry knowledge in order to explain more questions in better ways for the group members.

To show their thankfulness, all of the apprentices stood up, laying their right hands on their foreheads, and bowed low to Lucien.

“Mr. Professor, can we have the honor to keep you staying a bit longer? Each of us is going to share our recent thoughts by presenting them to the others later. It would be our great pleasure to have you here.” Philosopher hopefully asked.

The discussion part was open to anyone. All of the apprentices present were hoping Lucien would possible make comments on their ideas. Even some random words from such a knowledgeable sorcerer could benefit them a great deal.

For Lucien, the invitation was an extra surprise tonight. Although Lucien could understand many advanced formula based on his previous knowledge, he, on the contrary, was having a hard time analyzing some of the apprentice spells. Concealing his excitement, Lucien was trying to make himself sound as calm as possible, “All right.”

“Thank you, Professor.” White Honey first showed her appreciation.

It was a productive discussion, from which Lucien also gained a lot from the other group members. Many of his questions related to apprentice magics were solved and his knowledge gap was filled. At the same time, the other apprentices were also every encouraged to see that Mr. Professor was actually paying attention to their discussion.

In the early morning, after exchanging some more information, the meeting was drawing to a close. Lucien was stopped by Philosopher when he was about to leave.

“Mr. Professor,” asked Philosopher hopefully, “do you mind leaving your contact information to me? So if we can find any Revenant Dust, we can contact you immediately.”

However, Lucien shook his head, “Sorry, I’d rather not. Owl knows how to contact me.” Cautious as Lucien was, he would never trust anyone easily.

“Well…” Philosopher nodded disappointingly, “Will you attend our next meeting two weeks from now?” The other apprentices present were also waiting for Lucien’s answer eagerly.

“I don’t know yet,” Lucien’s attitude was ambiguous, since he did not want his attendance to be regular, “I might be in Melzer Black Forest at that time, preparing some experiments. Anyway, I’ll let Owl know in advance.” But Lucien’s vague answer was good enough for the members. At least this great sorcerer didn’t refuse them directly.

After Smile made sure that it was safe outside, Lucien and other apprentices left the basement in succession. Having the suitcase in his hand, and some new magic materials in his pockets, Lucien walked home with no companion. On his way home, Lucien spread his spiritual power which covered a certain range to detect if there was anyone following him. And all he found was a raven.
