443 Reunion (2/2)

Louise murmured dreamily, ”this is… Allyn…”

After they filled out in the feedback form of the train, the sorcerers and apprentices got off. They headed for the headquarter in a coach under Pan's guidance.

Appreciating the scenery along the streets, impressed by the interesting and pleasantly-surprising alchemical items and assorted non-human races, they soon arrived at the Allyn Magic Tower, where they were greeted by Prospell.

Prospell, as usual, could not hold itself back when it saw a beauty.

Although Louise knew that some of the words to her used by Prospell were not that well-mannered, she did not really care. Instead, she was impressed by the fact that an alchemical life could be so lively, and could even seem a bit like a… pervert.

”When you guys reach senior-rank, you'll have your own magic tower. Then you can make alchemical lives yourself.” Pan grinned while describing the beautiful future, although he was well aware of the fact that reaching the sixth circle was an unachievable dream for most low-rank sorcerers.

”Senior-rank…”

The apprentices and sorcerers knew what it meant — A much longer life, much more powerful spells, and even the chance of exchanging to a younger body.

Pan took a glance at Louise's white wolf, which was looking around curiously. ”Louise, you can take your wolf to the Task Zone to apply to participate in some breeding experiments. I believe that those sorcerers who study blood power, transformation, and companion pets would love to accept your application, and you can also get precious arcana points from it.”

Louise didn't expect that such things could be discussed publicly, and her face flushed slightly. ”In Aalto… castration has to be done for these large animals, in case they become out of control from rutting…”

The white wolf buried its head into the front paws.

”What a pity. But you can still take a look at the task for regrowing mutilated limbs. It takes some time, but it will work in the end…” suggested Pan.

Then he turned to the rest of them. ”Alright, we'll talk about it later. I'll first take the apprentices to the Apprentice Assessment Department, and then take the sorcerers to the Sorcerer Administrative Department.”

”No problem,” replied Klein, overwhelmed by the surroundings in this silver hall, the style of which was totally different from that of the Church of Truth and the noble's villas.

Louise was also looking around curiously like a fledgling. She took a few steps and caught fragments of words from two sorcerers walking past.

”… though Lucien Evans is indeed talented…”

Lucien Evans?

Louise abruptly turned around, wondering if she just had misheard it, but the surprised look on her companions' face told her that she did not.

Maybe it's just someone with a same name… They wondered and listened more carefully.

”… Ever since he joined the Congress of Magic, he never made a mistake in his magic and arcana achievements. I don't get it… Why he has to be so obsessed with the theory of light quantum? What a pity…”

”The next issues of Arcana and Magic is coming out. I heard that so far no accurate experiments have been carried out for supporting his hypothesis. Maybe we can start developing papers on analyzing the errors in his paper?”

”… Let's wait a bit longer… I'm afraid Lucien Evans's reputation is going to be ruined.”

”… It's not that bad. Every grand arcanist has more or less made some mistakes. But I do dislike people who support the particle theory!”

…

It sounded that the Lucien Evans they were talking about was a senior-rank sorcerer, therefore, he must be quite old. Louise released a soft sigh, believing that it was just someone with the same name.

She turned to Pan, who was also listening to the discussion attentively, and asked casually, ”Pan, is Mr. Lucien Evans very famous?”

”Mr. Evans is a genius! He has won three highest awards in different fields before reaching senior-rank!” Said Pan in the tone of sheer admiration and disatisfication.

”So he's a member of the board?” Klein recalled what Pan told him about the three boards.

Pan nodded, ”He's the only one in Arcana Review Board who is at the fifth circle.”

”He sounds like a legend.” Louise smiled. She started getting curious.

Pan was about to say something, but suddenly his eyes fixed on something and he pointed at the gate. ”Here comes Mr. Evans.”

Louise, Klein, and the rest of them turned around and froze.

Surrounded by a group of young sorcerers was young man of medium-height wearing a black, double-breasted suit. With his hands set in pockets, a black top hat on his head. and a piece of monocle on his left eye, the young man look even more elegant and handsome.

”Mr… E… Evans…” Louise's lips moved like she was in a dream.

He was the very great musician, the angel of music who had passed away, Lucien Evans!

He was just dressed in a different style!
