493 The Sage (1/2)
Seeing that Nika was thinking hard but still couldn't find a clue, Lucien hurriedly cut him off. ”It's the power of the earth. We call it gravity.”
”Power of the earth?” Nika was still very confused. In this world where everything was still in the rudiment, even the concept of the four elements earth, fire, wind, and water was not yet proposed.
Lucien nodded. ”The power of the earth attaches us to it and keeps the stars, the sun, and the moon revolving. Birds have to keep flapping their wings to resist the power and fly freely…”
As he was speaking, Lucien cast Gravity Chaos, making the gadgets on the operation desk rose into the air and then suddenly drop.
Nika threw a random monster's heart up into the air and watched it fall down to the ground. After the muffled sound of the pile of flesh hitting the floor, Nika repeated to himself, ”The power of the earth…”
The boy's eyes opened big in surprise. ”Sir, are… are you a wise man, too?”
The boy's voice dragged Nika out from his own thoughts, and Nika stared at Lucien in great enthusiasm. ”Can you explain it to me in detail? And how did you break up the pattern…”
”We're in a hurry. I'll leave some books to you later,” said Lucien, pointing at Natasha's injured left arm. ”Mr. Nika, do you know a kind of blood-red flowers that can catch small animals?”
Having no idea how people in this world call Bloody Family, Lucien described its appearance to Nika.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.
Nika was slightly stunned. He frowned and said, ”are you talking about the Gronin Flower? Aki, fetch one for this gentleman.”
The boy named Aki hurriedly walked to the storage room next door.
Nika finally noticed that both of the visitors were injured. He calmed down a bit and asked, ” are you here for cures?”
”No. I know magic,” Lucien shook his head. ”I just need the flowers to make some potions.”
”Magic?” That was another new word for Nika.
Lucien slightly raised his chin and smiled. ”That's how the power you have is called.”
Nika remained silent for a while. In his eyes, the visitor was beyond mysterious.
Natasha, who was feeling fatigued from the injury, was just smiling and listening to their conversation.
Aki, at this time, had come back with a big red flower in his hand. Lucien saw the flower and took it over from Aki. He turned to Nika and asked, ”this is the flower I'm looking for. Mr. Nika, can I borrow one of your spare rooms?”
As a sorcerer, Lucien always carried his alchemy hut with him.
Nika was not good at socializing. When he heard Lucien's words, he quickly nodded, completely forgotten that the flower belonged to him. ”Aki, go and find them a spare room.”
Lucien put his right hand on his chest and bowed lightly. ”To show my appreciation, I have some gifts for you, Sir. Please give me enough parchment rolls or papyrus.”
Nika shook his head. ”You're my guest. I should help you. I don't need gifts, but later we can discuss…”
”The gifts are books about magic.” Lucien cut him off.
The look on Nika's face abruptly changed.
”Aki, go and grab all my parchment sheets here!”
”Ha, Lucien, you sorcerers can be really straightforward sometimes, in a cute way,” Natasha commented through the telepathic bond, laughing. ”Just like that that you've never kissed a girl yet because you've spent all your time in your lab, haha!”
Seeing that his teacher was in such an elation, Aki, although he did not understand what magic was, also became very excited. He dashed for the study and then came back with a pile of parchment sheets almost as tall as him.
”From Magic Basics to Model Construction, The Significance of Modelling, Basic Magic Geometry, Element Equations behind Magic Formula, Basic Element, Low-rank Meditations, Basic Alchemy…” Lucien produced a long list.
Every time Lucien finished replicating a book, Nika read out the name. His eyes lit up with great excitement light the bright stars in the night sky. His body slightly trembling, Nika had completely forgotten everything else in the world, except for only the names of the books.
Lucien copied the elementary level books in his spirit library and translated them into the Baburian version. He said to Nika, smiling, ”when you finish reading all of the books, you can organize and simplify your own knowledge and gain a deeper understanding.”
Lucien was going to lead Nika to the Congress of Magic. After all, Nika was such a genius.
”Thank you, thank you!” Nika kept repeating the same words. Just from the names, he could figure out the value of these books. Then Nika said to Lucien a bit shyly, ”sir, what about the power of the earth you just mentioned?”
Lucien thought it for a while. Seeing that there were still lots of parchment sheets left, he put his hand back on the pile again and copied another three books for Nika.
”These three books… One talks about theories of gravity and provides better calculation tools, one is a classic work in electromagnetism, and one introduces the latest theoretical system of Element and Alchemy. Although you won't be able to understand them in a short period of time, reading them will help you build your knowledge system from a higher perspective, so your theoretical framework will be more complete.”
”Math Principles in the Philosophy of Magic, Electromagnetism, New Alchemy…” Nika could not move his eyes away from the three books.
Aki had got lost with the piles of books on the desk. He asked excitedly but also confusedly, ”what are they, Sir?”
Before Lucien and Natasha left for the spare room, Lucien asked. ”Mr. Nika, do you have any iron ores that look like crystal here?”
