Chapter 358: The Vase

Translator: Kris_LiuEditor: Vermillion

On the fifteenth floor of the headquarter of the Congress, in a bright office.

The exotic, dark-yellow carpet was thick and soft. The magic crystal light on the ceiling was dazzling even when it was not on. Several complicated magic circles were carved on the surface of the dark-red table made of precious wood. In the corner of the room, behind the bar counter, there were the bottles of wine and Lucien's favorite drink, Sky Blue… This was the office for Lucien Evans, the fifty-fourth member of Arcana Review Board. The papers would be sent to Lucien through the magic circles.

”If I am not in the office, sort the papers first and then send them to me every evening,” said Lucien to the steel golem. ”If I am not around, you can send the papers to my teacher, the Lord of Storm.”

Lucien dared not send out the papers to the other members of the institution. After all, the reason why the papers were sent to him was that they were all possible bombs. However, fortunately, this kind of papers were very few.

The eyes of the golem shone with red light, and it responded in the metallic voice, ”Yes, master.”

After becoming the board member, Lucien not only got his exclusive office but also a magic servant. He could choose from the arcana puppets, gas servants, elementals, and the golems. After selecting carefully, Lucien chose the most expensive one—the steel golem made in the year of 812. It was said that the golem could fight for its master for a few minutes even in a very strong magnetic field.

Lucien adjusted his collar a bit and stepped out of the office.

Walking along the corridor, Lucien ran into the several junior and middle-rank arcanists working in Arcana Review Board.

When seeing the badge on Lucien's chest, they greeted Lucien with great respect, ”Arcana's above, Mr. Evans.”

”Morning.” Lucien slightly nodded.

When stepping into the hall, the gate guard, an adamantine golem, also greeted using its low voice, ”Take care, Mr. Evans.”

Lucien heard that an adamantine golem was capable of fighting against a gold knight. Looking at the golem up and down, Lucien's eyes lit up and he wished that he could have one.

In the entire Congress, there were only a few adamantine golems. Each one or two of them were responsible for safeguarding the most important places in the tower such as the highest arcana and magic library, the major warehouse, the high-level summoning chambers, and the highest council office.

And Lucien's current wealth could not even afford a senior-rank mithril golem.

...

On the thirty-third floor of the magic tower of Allyn.

As usual, Lucien was in his teacher's office having his homework checked.

In the office, besides the Lord of Storm, Thompson and Alferris were also there. Right now, Alferris was sleeping on the carpet next to Fernando's feet just like a little puppy, slightly snoring.

”Thompson, I'll talk to you about the paper later…” Fernando put down the paper in his hand and looked at Lucien, ”Lucien, it's time for you to switch to a new meditation method now since the new power of your soul has become more stable. Your spiritual power level's about the fifth circle, so your current meditation method is not really working for you. I have a new meditation method here that's quite suitable for you, and it's enough for you until you reach the eighth circle. Do you want to try it?”

Of course, Lucien would love to follow a better meditation method. He felt that his teacher should not even bother asking. Lucien had been prepared to buy a new meditation method from the highest arcana and magic library if his teacher was not going to make any offers.

”Sure, sir. Thank you very much!” Lucien's eyes were full of excitement.

Fernando took out a black old book and said to Lucien seriously, ”My meditation method isn't bad, but the best meditation method for you should be developed by yourself based on your own situations and needs. When your cognition world has been basically substantialized, you can alter and amend your spiritual power and soul bit by bit using the several high-level mediation methods. If you can come up with your own meditation method that really works for you, it will be more hopeful for you to reach the legendary level. However, improving meditation is a risky and tough job. Before you're prepared, don't try it like a fool. I don't want to have a student like a fool.”

Fernando's red eyes stared at Lucien in a very stern way, and he added, ”Even one day when your cognition world has been basically substantialized, you also have to be very careful, or after a big bang, nothing of you would be left. You hear me?”

”Yes, sir.” Lucien dared not to tell Fernando that his cognition world had been basically substantialized, so he was going to wait for another two to three years in case Fernando would feel suspicious. At the same time, Lucien was also glad that he was still being busy with something else and so far he had not got enough time with improving his meditation method. There were two reasons why Lucien could substantialize the cognition world so fast: one was that he knew that the transmission of power was not consistent; and the other was the fact that the two cosmical constants in the two worlds were, in fact, the same, which had brought Lucien great cognition impact and his cognition world had thus been reformed. This was Lucien's biggest secret, and it was very difficult for him to find other excuses to explain.

Taking over the old book, Lucien was a bit embarrassed to see the name of the book: Fernando's Meditation Method. It was obvious that Fernando was not an expert in naming things.

”You'd better stay in Allyn in the next three years, Lucien. If you have to, you must report to me or Affairs Committee.” Thompson reminded Lucien, ”You're on the 53rd place on the list now, the first person under the legendary level. Countless night watchers, red-robed cardinals and saint knights are eagerly trying to kill you. I even wouldn't be surprised if Philibell or Vaharall come to kill you in person.”

Lucien nodded seriously, as he knew that the Church was like a crazy hound and he was right now like a little hare. Even Felipe, a person who was definitely very proud and arrogant, had also been staying in Allyn or Heidler for the two years and improving himself quietly. However, two to three years later, there would be for sure other big things happening and the Church would be distracted.
