Felipe’s pale face suddenly looked more serious. In his mind, Professor was his enemy, and also a genius, who was probably even more promising than Larry.

”He’s in Allyn now?” asked Felipe in low voice.

Rogerio just smiled, but did not say anything. Instead, he changed the topic, ”My study investigating electromagnetic interference with soul was supposed to be the leading paper in the next issue of Arcana, but the day before yesterday, the chief editor came all the way to Heidler and apologized to me that my paper would be changed to the second position. Too bad… I’ve been looking forward to the glory all the time.”

Staying quite calm, Felipe did not keep asking about Professor, but looked a bit confused and then asked, ”A new paper? Where’s the new paper from?”

”Yes, a new paper,” Rogerio nodded, feeling a bit sorry for himself, ”from Lord of Storm.”

Even Felipe was a bit in awe of this name. Fernando Brastar, Lord of Storm, besides his great accomplishment in arcana and magic, was also known for his bad temper. No one dared present arcana theories with any deficiencies in front of him, regardless what level the person was of, since Fernando would directly refute the person’s proposition and ruthlessly jeer at it. Even members from the highest council often wanted to stay away from him.

”What’s the paper about? Do you have any clue?” Felipe was very curious.

Getting a cup of water for himself, Rogerio turned around, ”I’m curious, too. So I went to Common Arcana Library and checked this paper which just passed the board’s review. The paper’s about the application of electromagnetic wave. And I have to admit that it’s very insightful and creative. It’ll be available the day after tomorrow.”

Felipe did not say anything, but listened to Rogerio carefully.

”Of course, the reason why I asked you to come here today is not to recommend this paper to you, but because of another paper that inspired Mr. Fernando to develop his paper,” Rogerio said seriously.

”A paper… inspired Mr. Fernando?” Felipe frowned a bit.

Rogerio nodded, ”The paper’s hasn’t been published yet, and it’s about a small experiment investigating high frequency sound wave, conducted by Lucien Evans X, a sorcerer with no arcana level who just arrived in Allyn a week ago.”

”Lucien Evans… The musician? It’s a common name though…” Felipe was being very unsure.

Professor and the great musician arrived at the land that originally belonged to Wilfred at the same time, so the Hand of Paleness felt suspicious. Felipe thought that it was Natasha who sent Professor to protect the musician, so he connected the musician and Professor together.

”The broken ring, made of seven-element alloy… Princess Natasha and the famous musician… I wonder if we can say that the ring that Viscount Carendia saw on Professor’s hand was the very ring of Holm Crown prize…” There was a mysterious smile on Rogerio’s face, ”From another perspective, when was Professor's name first heard? It was when some apprentice tried to approach the famous musician, Lucien Evans. Who could benefit from the Hand of Paleness’ plan of kidnapping being interrupted? Lucien Evans, the musician.”

Rogerio was a bit in awe when he called Natasha’s name, not because of Natasha’s title, but her ties of blood with an influential person from the congress.

”So…” Felipe touched his chin a bit, ”they were even closer than we thought?”

”Why not? A musician has fallen under the lure of an evil sorcerer, and they’ve formed a close bond. Without the support of the Will of Elements, how was it possible that Lucien could become Princess Natasha’s music advisor that fast?” Rogerio’s hands were holding together, ”I think by building a closer bond with Princess Natasha, Lucien Evans also got closer to the Will of Elements and Holm Royal Magic Academy. Perhaps this is the very purpose of the Will of Elements, and they took advantage of our plan!”

”This makes sense,” Felipe slightly nodded, ”but something’s still not right.”

It seemed that Felipe and Rogerio knew something secret.

”Princess Natasha is in her three-year penance now, and for the next three years, the famous musician, Lucien Evans, will be studying arcana here in Allyn to improve himself to respond to their future challenges. This is how I view the whole thing,” Rogerio continued.

Felipe’s left hand missed a finger, but he still used that hand to rub his chin, ”But there’s no solid evidence showing that this Lucien Evans X is the very famous musician, right?”
