Chapter 156: Felipe’s Tyranny

Translator: Kris_LiuEditor: Vermillion

When Lucien was under Felipe’s gaze, all of a sudden, he thought of something.

Since both the viscount and Felipe thought that the reason why Professor was here was to disturb the gathering, if Lucien decided to just wait there and watch until the end of the feast, that would be very suspicious of him.

Lucien felt that he had to bring some trouble to the feast in order to make his presence reasonable. However, he needed to be very careful about keeping the balance and the degree to which he would piss Felipe off. Ideally, the problem caused by Professor should be troublesome but still within Felipe’s capability to be solved.

Lucien had to carefully think about how to do it.

While Lucien was occupied by his own thoughts, on the stage, Cessy, the most powerful necromancer on the territory once belonging to Wilfred, asked, ”Mr. Felipe, since the rules of the organization you represent are very strict, I don’t think that the four of us can make the decision for everyone present. It is really an individual thing.”

As he was speaking, Tess, Sidney and Quentin were also nodding. Seeing that there was a cold smile on Felipe’s face, Cessy hurriedly added, ”Of course, I personally would like to follow you to the congress and join the Hand of Paleness, but before that, what I want to ask is whether I can collect bodies in the nations controlled by the congress without needing to hide all the time?”

Felipe smiled to Cessy, who was the first one willing to join the organization, ”Mr. Cessy, according to the agreement reached by the congress and the several kingdoms, you can’t destroy cemeteries or kill ordinary people to get the bodies you want, you need to have an agreement with a person who’s willing to let you dispose of his or her body after the person’s death. But, of course, if you kill your enemy, any magic creature or beasts, they’re all yours.”

”Well… I’m afraid it won’t be enough,” Cessy frowned, ”unless your organization can provide us with enough bodies for our research.”

The rest of the necromancers and apprentices felt the same way. For these sorcerers who were the inheritors of the ancient magic system, without bodies, they could not see any possible progress in their magic researches.

Seeing that all the necromancers and apprentices present were hesitating, and Professor still remained mysterious and calm, Felipe became irritated, and he started to rise his tone, ”You guys can never imagine the great progress made by arcana and magic within the past hundreds of years, just as you can never imagine, without your filthy bodies, how you can grow stronger and more powerful!”

The people present in the hall got a bit confused with Felipe’s emotional thing all of a sudden.

However, Felipe continued furiously and regardlessly, ”What’s more, through the collision of the two theories —‘Waves of Spiritual Power' and ‘Particles of Spiritual Power’, a series of highly efficient, high-level meditation have been broadly applied with lower requirements. Most of the meditating methods on your books are out of date!”

Lucien was listening to Felipe’s speech carefully, while other people were now shocked.

Felipe was almost yelling now, ”Can you believe that the meditation which was only available for senior-rank mages is now accessible to any sorcerer?

”Can you believe that there are new spells coming out every month?

”Can you imagine a middle-rank mage who’s only twenty years old?

”Can you imagine a senior-rank mage who’s only thirty years old?

”Can you imagine an archmage who’s fifty years old, or a legendary archmage who’s eighty?

”Only in the headquarter of the Congress of Magic you can know how advanced arcana and magic are right now!”

Lucien did not know what other people were thinking right now, but he was certain that he would go to the congress one day. Although he was very profound with his spirit library, the biggest challenge facing him was the channel to turn his knowledge into real power. In this new era of magic, Lucien knew that he needed to make progress all the time in order to be strong!
