Chapter 493: The Sage

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

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.

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. historical

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?”

Lucien hoped that he could also fix his Holm Crown rings, so he could be more prepared for what was coming for them.

“I do! Take as much as you want!” Said Nika without any hesitation, who had already started reading one of the books.

...

The sun sank in the west, inside the castle had become darker and darker.

The door of a guest room opened with a creak. Lucien and Natasha walked out full of energy.

“Your left hand really behaved itself for the entire afternoon. I hope the rest of the six days are all like this.” Natasha joked.

In the past several hours, Lucien made the potion called Heart of Sun, removed the cursing toxin from their bodies, fixed his Holm Crown rings, and partially fixed Natasha’s armor called the Violet Guardian.

Lucien replied on purpose, “it’s always very peaceful before a storm arrives.”

“No worries. I am on full alert.” Natasha pulled out Pale Justice to show that she had fully recovered.

At this time, Nika pushed his door open and dashed out. Rather exhausted but thrilled, Nika said to Lucien with a book in his hand, “although there are lots that I don’t understand, I have felt the profound knowledge and the great value in the books. My distinguished guests, please tell me, where are the great sages Derrick Douglas, Edwyn Brook, and Lucien Evans? I have to find and follow them!”

Natasha burst out laughing. Lucien cleared his throat a bit as his protest.

“You can understand some of it?” Lucien was surprised. Although he knew that Nika was very gifted and talented, it was still hard to believe that Nika can understand part of the three books without having any foundations previously.

Nika rubbed his hands against each other, and his face flushed slightly. “Just a tiny bit. I first read some of the basic books and understood the terms, and then I turned to the three books. Also, I’ve been thinking of some of the questions discussed in the books. Now I finally understand what element, atom, gravity, and lightning are!”

“I see.” Lucien nodded. Nika definitely had a very good foundation for learning magic, it’s just that he had never touched upon the theoretical section. Then Lucien switched the topic. “Sir, do you know any special spots nearby?”

Lucien hoped to know more about the northern mountain range so that they could hide from Demigod-lich more easily.

Nika hardly talked to people, so he was basically following Lucien’s words to keep the conversation going. “Special spots? Well... I’m not sure what kind of special spot you’re looking for, but I know a valley down below a nearby cliff, where many dangerous creatures live. The skin on the door was found there...

“... If you go over the mountain, you’ll see a very creepy forest. I’m not able to spread out my spiritual power there. Besides the forest is a very, very big lake. And it’s incredibly deep. There’s a secret cave at the bottom of the lake that is connected to the other side of the mountain. I found it when I was hunting a water creature.

“Behind the dark forest, there’s a valley filled with greyish white fog. Ghosts and specters cry in the valley all the time. So far I haven’t gone into the valley yet. I dare not.”

Nika tried his best to recall the places he had been to.

Lucien and Natasha listened to him carefully without cutting him off. When Nika finished, Lucien said to him, “thank you for giving us so much information. You can take the books with you and find a man named Rehau in the Metarin oasis in the eastern desert. Rehau will lead you to an organization that studies magic jointly, an organization built by the sorcerers around the world. When you get there, you will have a better environment for studying magic.”

Nika knew what a sorcerer was after reading the introductory books. He nodded hard. “I can’t wait. By the way, are the three sages still alive?”

Lucien simply nodded and was about to leave with Natasha. At this time, Nika finally realized that he never asked the mysterious visitor’s name. “My distinguished guest, may I know your name? When I arrive at the oasis, who shall I refer to?”

Nika remembered scarcely that the groups for sharing books in the nearby area required a referrer.

Before Lucien replied, Natasha grinned and said, “his name? His name’s Lucien Evans.”

Nika was shocked. He suddenly lost all his words.

At this time, Lucien and Natasha had flown out of the castle.

...

Only a tint of dark red hung over the horizon. The early stars were hiding within.

“I think that the creepy valley that Nika mentioned is Death Valley, the previous divine realm of the Lord of Underworld. It’s also the origin of the Solna River, and where Alterna and the mysterious existence from the World of Souls fell.” Lucien introduced briefly.

“Then we have to go and check it out,” said Natasha seriously. “We can probably find something to fight against Demigod-lich. We can’t keep hiding.”

“What a pity that you’re not yet able to pick up the Shield of Truth, or we’d have no worries at all.” Lucien joked.

Natasha glared at Lucien. “I have to be a gold knight to be able to pick it up. Also, legendary items are as scarce as the legendaries. There’s no way that we can find another now.”

Basically, except for the few top legendaries, most legendaries or countries only had one to two legendary items.

The breeze coming through the tree branches was rather refreshing. However, it somehow felt too quiet, unusually quiet.

Something suddenly occurred to Lucien, and he asked, “when was the last time we spotted the specter servants sent by Demigod-lich?”

The look on Natasha’s face changed. “This morning.”

“Go!” Lucien suddenly tensed.
