Chapter 105: Magic Lock

Translator: Kris_LiuEditor: Vermillion

Staring at the young musician walking out of the darkness of the second floor, for a moment, an idea flashed through both Lilith’s and Sala’s mind: Mr. Evans was a sorcerer.

However, a second later, they felt a bit amused for having such silly thoughts. How could this young, talented musician who gained such vast popularity in Aalto be a mysterious sorcerer? That was ridiculous.

At this time, Lopez came into the living room followed by a bunch of servants who were holding candles. The whole space was immediately lit up.

”I’m Lucien Evans.” Lucien walked downstairs and smiled in a polite way, ”I was told that you two came here because of an ancient manuscript?”

”Mr.… Mr. Evans! I’m Lilith. I… I like your music very much!” Due to her nervousness, Lilith failed to answer Lucien’s question properly, ”For Silvia is my favorite! I’m… I’m very glad to meet you.”

Facing this talented and good-looking young musician, the young girl’s face flushed.

”Me too, Mr. Evans. I’m Sala.” Sala was calmer than his sister, ”Symphony of Fate gives me a lot of encouragement, sir.”

Lucien smiled and nodded, ”Thank you for your support. But can we talk about the manuscript first?”

Hoping that he could find more information about the Continental Congress of Magic, Lucien read lots of literatures and ancient manuscripts. He would not let any possible chance slip from his hands.

”Yes… Sorry, Mr. Evans.” Sala sniffed a bit and took out a pile of paper, ”Here it is, sir.”

Lucien took the manuscript over and said to them, ”Not a problem. Please sit down, so we can discuss together.”

Lilith sat back on the couch, still blushing. From time to time, she peeked at Lucien, who was absorbed in reading. Her heart was beating fast.

As usual, Lucien read very fast in order to have a complete copy in his spiritual library. However, a familiar sentence in the manuscript immediately seized his attention!

”When the sun entered Thanos’ Palace…”

Lucien was astonished.

Why did he see the same weird sentence twice within just a couple of months? What did the manuscript have to do with the poem that Mr. Deroni mentioned?

Thus, Lucien slowed himself down and started to reread the whole manuscript. The further he read it, the more shocked he was. Combining what he read before, in the princess’ study, Lucien gradually realized what that manuscript was about.

It was about the ruins of a magic site!

Calm as Lucien looked, there was a great turmoil in his mind:

”Floating mountains”, ”grand cross”… Lucien remembered these words. He saw them when he was reading Astrology and Magic Elements. Opening that book in his spiritual library, Lucien turned the page to the last chapter, magic circles.

Just as he expected, Lucien found out that the manuscript described a wide and powerful magic veil called ”Magic Lock”, which was mainly constituted by a series of Astrology spells.

Compared with the folk poem, the manuscript offered a more detailed description about how the city was destroyed by the falling meteors and how the weird, red liquid surged up from under the ground. Unfortunately, the manuscript was not complete. No explanation could be found on it regarding why there was a magic site built underground, or why a Magic Lock was placed around it.

The witch’s ancestors lived in Aalto many years ago. According to the witch’s notes, one of her ancestors was the student of a very powerful legendary sorcerer who was the lord of the city. Therefore, Lucien guessed that the magic site might have something to do with this legendary sorcerer, but he had no real evidence about it.

It had been more than half an hour since Lucien started to read the manuscript. During this time, Lucien did not say even a single word. Both Lilith and Sala felt a bit nervous.
