612 New Changes Every Day (2/2)
Thompson pointed at the floor on their opposite side. ”That happens to be one of the floors that belong to the Affair Committee…”
”Mr. Gaston's 'Life Synthesis Laboratory' is on this floor…”
”Wow, Life Synthesis Laboratory?” The boy Aki was rather excited. Nika also looked at the place with great curiosity.
”Mr. Gaston made groundbreaking contributions to the field of life. He proposed that concept of element structure, maintaining that the nature of an object is not only concerned with the number and quality of atoms but also their structure.” Thompson had benefited a lot from the theory and elaborated on it.
”Structure…” Nika, who had just picked up the basics, was still confused about the cutting-edge concepts.
Thompson pointed at the opposite side again. ”The famous Atom Institution is on this floor.”
”The Atom Institution?” Nika had learnt about the Atom Institution that Mr. Evans created in person had been pulling the whole Congress forward like a locomotive even though he was only in a branch in the alternate dimension.
Plus his fondness for Lucien in the first place, Nika was full of admiration and excitement. Aki even ran to the rail and observed the floor against the light shield.
”In fact, there are also laboratories on hormones and psychology on this floor.” Thompson then introduced the next floor. ”The 'Heredity Laboratory', recently established by Mr. Felipe and a few sorcerers of the school of necromancy, is on this floor. It's said that they are hugely sponsored by the nobles, but there are no achievements yet.”
Since the alternate dimension had yet to begin the studies on blood power, Nika was even more confused about that. He could only glance at it in curiosity.
...
”Wow!”
As the magic steam train rode out of Allyn and rushed downwards amidst the clouds in the blue sky, the boy Aki finally couldn't control himself anymore and screamed hard. His legs trembling, he didn't dare not watch the small mountains, rivers, forests and manors down below.
It was simply too terrifying and exciting!
Smiling, Nika cast a spell on him to relieve his fear. As for Nika himself, he had been used to the situation after he learnt how to fly.
After they reached the train station, Aki held on to his teacher with a pale face and shaking legs, gagging nonstop.
Nika shook his head and searched for the signs around. ”Lanxiang…” His task was to work as a teacher in the first 'Lanxiang' school.
Although he was already a fifth-circle sorcerer, his arcana level hadn't even reached one yet. By teaching students, it would be easy for him to increase his arcana expertise, so he was quite satisfied about the task. The most satisfying thing of all was that the school provided a magic laboratory for him.
Very soon, he found the wagon that the Lanxiang school sent to pick him up. It brought him to the east of the town.
This Lanxiang school was quiet but not gloomy. The bright buildings, the silver rails and the flourishing gardens built up a cheerful atmosphere.
The wagon was about to ride into the gate, when Nika suddenly hear rumbling noises. He turned around, only to see a gigantic blue box running at him. In the perception of his spiritual power, the box seemed to be entirely made of iron. It was neither pulled by a Dragon Scale horse nor spurting out steam, and it looked like a terrible iron monster.
”Mr. Nika, this is one of the first vehicles for public transportation that the city hall has introduced. They are developed by Mr. Evans and Mr. Klaus together, who modified and simplified the magic steam train, making it able to move without a railway. However, the two experts still think that it is too clumsy and noisy.” As a member of the Lanxiang school, the coachman was rather well-informed.
Watching the blue box park on the other side, and the young, vigorous teenagers and adolescents get off, Nika complimented sincerely, ”This is truly a heaven of magic…”
After he walked into the campus, Nika saw red banners before anything else came into his eyes: ”Our Sincerest Welcome to Prime Minister Russell!”
”The First Contest of Alchemical Gears Controlling is about to begin!”
...…
Nika, who felt that the banners were rather an eye-sore, found many stone statues in the garden, with certain words engraved on the pedestal.
”They are the great sorcerers who made major contributions to arcana and magic. Below are the quotations that they once said.” The coachman introduced.
Nika walked over curiously and examined the statues one by one.
”Derrick Douglas: Our future lies in the infinite cosmos.”
…
”Lucien Evans: Your eyes will deceive you, your ears will deceive you, your experience will deceive you, and so will your imagination, but math won't.”
…
”Yaroran Hathaway Hoffenberg: Achievements speak louder than words.”
