604 Stellar Core (2/2)
Natasha had seen Alferris once and learnt of its greediness herself. ”Hehe. He definitely wouldn't leave the treasury again! When it saw the Holm Crown Ring on my hand, it asked me whether or not only ladies could receive such a beautiful and precious ring and men like you could only get broken 'iron ring'. I suspect that it would've been married to the wealthy dragons for their wealth if it weren't a male dragon.'
After teasing the little crystal dragon, Natasha smiled, ”Which legendary material do you need?”
Natasha had told Lucien what was inside the treasury and asked him to talk to other legendary experts. Regarding that, Grand Duke of Orvarit could only shake his head with a smile. Such secrets were usually kept confidential by the king or the queen, who would not even tell their spouse.
Looking at Natasha who was wearing a white long dress, Lucien nodded his head. ”The Dragon Marrow Stone. Mr. Oliver wants it in preparation for his life extension ritual in the future. He has a stellar core that is perfect to accommodate the special abilities of 'Observer of Time and Space'.”
The Dragon Marrow Stone was from the graveyard of dragons. The essence of their decayed bodies were congregated into brown, translucent crystals. Together with the scent of death in the graveyard, the stone was given the features of both life and death. It was one of the most precious materials in the school of necromancy.
If the Dragon Marrow Stone came from a primordial dragon, it would be a legendary material and could prolong one's life by around a thousand years. Of course, those below legendary couldn't bear it and would die on the spot.
The Stellar Core was the 'belonging' of certain collapsed planets. They seemed to be of zero mass, but they could unleash powerful gravity under special circumstances. In the entire Congress of Magic, only Oliver had one of them. Douglas had gotten one, but he had already used it for his unique legendary item.
”Alright.” Natasha opened the treasury and led Lucien to the Dragon Marrow Stone without any hesitation. Although it was an extremely precious material that could extend life, she did not stop at all.
Playing with the half transparent crystal in his hand, Lucien said jokingly, ”Are you not afraid that you can't find a material to extend your longevity?”
Lucien intended to be gentle, but his words somehow became banter when he spoke them out. But of course, Lucien had already grabbed Natasha's right hand to let her know what he felt.
Natasha declared like a knight, ”I believe that I will definitely advance into legendary!”
Then, she added in a low voice, ”I will definitely be a legend that is better than you!”
The determination in her last sentence somehow carried the air of grief.
Lucien immediately smiled.
......
On April 8, two days before the wedding…
Inside the Atomic Universe, on the weird planet made of iron, Lucien was crafting his unique legendary inside the magic laboratory that was moved over.
The glittering Stellar Core was placed at the center of the magic circle. It was a clear polyhedron the size of a fist, reflecting dreamy rays on every facet.
At this moment, the Stellar Core had been melted into weird liquids. Magic materials were embedded into it from Lucien's pushing, making it writhe hard as if it were giving birth to something.
Lucien understood that the most critical moment had come. Therefore, he closed his right hand and illuminated the magic circles at the periphery according to the advancement ritual of 'Observer of Time and Space' with his spiritual power.
Everything was enshrouded in vague light. Ripples that emitted the air of time seemed to be spreading out.
Then, the light seemed to be attracted by something and collapsed by the Stellar Core all of a sudden. There was nothing but darkness and depression around.
The complicated structure and the indescribable stripes were fed back to Lucien's brain, which caught him rather unprepared since it was the first time he had crafted any legendary item. Thankfully, he had the complete model of 'Observer of Time and Space' inside his cognitive world, and he could still do something.
With a mechanized mind, Lucien calmly powered the model of his legendary class with his spiritual power, allowing it to influence the process of melting.
After the difficult star was passed, Lucien got the hang of it. The spells, the gesture and the connection of spiritual power were completed one procedure after another. In the end, a cluster of silver brilliance burst out from the center of the magic circle, driving away the collapsed darkness!
After the light calmed down again, a 'silver pocket watch' appeared inside the broken magic circle. It was the perfect size to be grabbed by ones hand!
