Felipe put his hands back into the pockets of his black coat. Although he still looked calm, there were countless thoughts in his heart. Either Professor was a real madman, or he must be very confident that his experiment would be successful.

Felipe started to feel hesitant. He was not sure whether he should make the bet with Professor, or just fight with him. After all, the Church commented Professor as ”extremely cunning and dangerous”.

In the end, Felipe could not resist his curiosity and, at the same time, his confidence in the theory of Life Force pushed him to make the decision. He had to admit that he also wanted to see if the fundamental theory of Necromancy would be overthrown just like the previous ancient theories.

Felipe was also an arcanist, and Lucien was exactly betting on his desire toward more advanced knowledge and also his curiosity.

”Except for apologizing… if you lost the bet, you would lose nothing, Professor.” Felipe responded slowly.

The rest of the necromancers and apprentices were very surprised. It seemed that Felipe was really going to make the bet with Professor.

Although Lucien was very excited in his mind, he answered shortly and calmly, ”My mission would fail, at least.”

Felipe took out his left hand and clenched it into a fist. His tone became firm, ”All right, Mr. Professor. I’ll make this bet with you. Let’s make the devil pact.”

According to Astrology and Elements, magic pact is something seeking notarization from different great powers in this world. According to the levels of the covenanters, the notarization powers varied: from common magic power to the devil or even to the original power of the world. For middle-ranked mages, the devil pact was the most suitable. If a covenanter did not keep his or her promise, the person would be punished by the power of the pact.

”I trust Mr. Felipe, and I also trust myself. We don’t need a pact,” answered Lucien calmly. In fact, he was not capable of summoning the devil, and even if the devil was summoned by Felipe, his true level of power would be recognized by the devil immediately, ”If I was not reliable, I don’t think the viscount would even invite me to the gathering.” Lucien looked at Viscount Carendia.

The viscount was a bit surprised that, all of a sudden, his name was mentioned. His guess was that Professor did not want to leave his real name on the pact, so he nodded and said, ”I can be the witness, and all the people here are the witnesses as well.”

Felipe nodded, ”I agree. Then, start your experiment, Mr. Professor.”

Lucien waved his hands, ”In order to be fair. I tell you what to do, and Mr. Felipe, you conduct the experiment.”

”Fair enough.” Felipe nodded, ”Give me a second to build the lab.”

The reason that Lucien asked Felipe to do the experiment was because he was not capable of doing it himself.

Felipe took out a fist-sized golden cabin from his pocket and took out a bunch of mini-sized alchemy equipment.

As soon as this pieces of equipment left the cabin, under Felipe’s control, they grew back to their original size. Soon, a small but fully equipped lab was built.

Lucien hoped that he would have something like this as well in the future, but he had no idea how to get it.

When Felipe was building the lab, the necromancers and apprentices facing the stage started to whisper to each other again.

”Do you think Professor can really synthesize any ingredient for life?” asked Fatty with a mixed feeling.

”No way.” Wine shook his head immediately, ”The theory of Life Force is the eternal truth, which is built by many legendary archmages in the past.”

”Yes. It is the eternal truth for us.” A necromancer looked back at them and nodded seriously, ”Or how could we successfully synthesize human body parts in the past?”

”But if Professor failed…” Fatty said in a low voice, ”If he failed, we must join the Hand of Paleness. Honestly, I’d rather find the Church and be a night watcher if that’s the case.”
