Chapter 188: The Result
Translator: Kris_LiuEditor: Vermillion
On the fifteenth floor of the tower, in another room.
As a bell rang, a puppet picked up the paper and quickly leafed through it.
”Sound wave? Apprentice level?” murmured the puppet, ”Master said that he won’t review papers below a certain level, and master’s students are not here today as well. Alas, the paper can only be handed over to the several arcanists from Common Arcana then.”
After identifying the paper’s level, the puppet waited for around five minutes until it receiving the message that the spell itself, Bat Screaming, had been confirmed valid. Then the puppet called a red-beaked and green-feathered bird from outside of the window. The bird’s responsibility today was to bring the several papers to another magic tower.
It was not easy to use magic circles to send things among different towers.
The bird flew very fast, with its feathers producing a cover to prevent the strong wind. Soon, the bird disappeared in the sky.
...
On the third floor of a blue magic tower, in a messy room filled with books.
A middle-aged man with light-yellow mustache was looking at the books in front of him, frowning and thinking.
For sorcerers of this level like this man, he needed to continuously make progress in his own specialized arcana field.
At this time, he heard something pecking at the power cover of the tower. Smiling, the man put the journal book down and pressed the button on the table.
The energy cover was retrieved, and the window opened. The same red-beaked, green-feathered birds flew in. Walking on the table proudly back and forth, the bird dropped the papers down, ”Mr. Woods, these are the papers for today. Please review them as soon as possible.”
When the bird was speaking, the bird’s voice was as sweet as its chirping.
Woods pulled out a handful of small white particles and gently threw them to the bird, ”Is any of these for new magic reviewing, Selena? If there isn’t, come and pick them up tomorrow.”
While eating the small white particles happily, the little bird answered, ”There's one, Mr. Woods. Please review it now.”
Then, the little bird picked out one of the parchment rolls.
When Woods was reading Lucien’s new magic report, a surprised look gradually appeared on his face, ”Bat Screaming… Apprentice level… Interesting…”
After reading the report, Woods hurriedly searched for something among all of the parchment rolls on the desk, ”Not this… not this… There should be a corresponding paper… Yes! Lucien Evans… Bats…”
Pulling out the roll of paper from Lucien Evans, Woods started reading carefully.
”This young man… very curious. He has the potential to be an arcanist,” murmured Woods. ”Surprisingly, this young man carefully explored bat, this non-magical creature, while most ancient sorcerers are busy with examining magic creatures to discover their power… The controlled experiment was also very carefully designed. Although the experiment does not have much to do with arcana, this young man’s way of thinking is still very creative and impressive. Wait… Lucien Evans is only a first circle sorcerer? That’s quite surprising as well…”
Woods felt that Lucien Evans was too common a name for a talented sorcerer to be noticed in the academy, so Woods thought that he should suggest this Lucien Evans to put an extra word after his name for distinction.
After reading this paper, Woods stood up and asked his apprentice to catch two bats for him.
Woods only used a very short period of time to repeat Lucien’s experiment and he confirmed the result in Lucien’s paper. Woods got very excited, ”Sound wave can really be used for the purpose of location! It's no longer merely a weapon for deterring or killing!”
Sound wave did not exclusively belong to a certain school. In fact, all of the schools had sound wave spells, for example, Homan’s Oscillation belonged to the school of Force, and Banshee’s Howling belonged to the school of Necromancy.
Although Woods almost could not wait to write a paper to respond Lucien’s idea, he decided to sit back and write down his comment on the paper first, ”Groundbreaking…”
The same scene was seen in another office in a magic tower, but this office turned out to be the headquarter of the journal Sound Wave.
...
In the hall of Sorcerer Administrative Department, Lucien was sitting in the couch, tasting a non-alcoholic beverage called Sky Blue recommended by Lazar. Lucien liked its sweetness.
Swirling the pure blue liquid in the transparent glass, Lucien was sipping the beverage while talking with Lazar leisurely about some common sense of the congress.
It was close to five forty in the early evening, and the magic tower was going to close soon, but the two sorcerers were still sitting in the hall chatting casually. Both Cindy and Donna were very curious, so Cindy, craning her neck, whispered, ”Mr. Lazar, Mr. Evans, are you waiting for something?”
