Throne of Magical Arcana 770 Revisi

They did not directly ask Lucien because Butler Leo told them that their teacher had closed the top floor of his magic tower and probably wouldn't open it until a long time later. They had been trying to reach out to him to report Heidi's discovery of new particles ever since they returned to Allyn from the cosmic observatory.

"… According to the report of Mr. Evans, he discovered the weird deviation of light and the unusualness of space when he conducted the following experiments, and he adjusted the standard coordinates of the sun according to his conclusion…" "Lark" Samantha, as Annick predicted, read Lucien's report in detail and interpreted the whole process so that the senior-rank sorcerers could redo the experiment and the middle-rank sorcerers could understand the theoretical foundation of the adjustment of the solar coordinates.

The report undoubtedly convinced every arcanist who listened to it that Mr. Evans had indeed found the sun with reasons. Otherwise, his report wouldn't have been so detailed and copyable. Reproducibility was a symbol of arcana!

"… What… What a complicated experiment." Although her particle collision experiments and her modifications on artificial intelligence were rather complicated themselves, Heidi was still rather stunned, because the experiment was so intricate that no common arcanists could have devised it.

Even Sprint, who had always been proud and confident, had to admit in a low voice, "I'm afraid that only our teacher could've designed such a complicated but effective experiment…" He, for one, couldn't have achieved it.

Despite his fundamental disagreement with Lucien regarding the observer effect, Annick still admired his teacher, who was the pioneer of many new domains, the proposer of many revolutionary theories, and the main booster of the great development of arcana studies and social development in the past decade. There was still a major gap between them.

"Yes, I don't think that there can be more than ten experts who have such amazing ideas and such a solid arcana foundation. However, I still think that it is too complicated. Perhaps our teacher partly counted on luck, or perhaps he was doing some other experiments…" Hesitating, he proposed his guess.

Such a guess did not raise the anger of Heidi, Katrina, or other people. Having been engaged in arcana and magic studies for a long time, they knew very well that certain discoveries needed a bit of luck. For example, back when they were in the cosmic observatory, the experiments that everybody devised were identical, but Heidi discovered the new particle ahead of everybody else. The reason was that she made a minor mistake during the design… But of course, only the arcanists who had been doing experiments for a long time with a solid knowledge foundation could have grasped the gift of the goddess of fortune.

"In any case, the sun has finally been discovered! The chronicle of magic has been turned to a new page!" Heidi declared; her eyes glittering.

...

On the thirty-first floor of the Allyn magic tower, all the arcanists in the Sky Radio Station listened to Samantha's broadcast in excitement. Louise's news was for the ordinary people and contained nothing that they did not know.

Also, different from before, Samantha was no longer as nonchalant as usual when she read the report. The insuppressible smile on her face suggested her good mood and quite surprised the arcanists who were used to her previous style.

For years, the continual defeat of determinism had made most arcanists of the school of astrology, but they had to gradually change their paradigm slowly. So, they had always been rather sad. Many poets of Rentato had praised them for their excellent poetic vibe and thought that they deserved to be the arcanists who studied space. However, the discovery of the sun ignited the long-buried passion in their hearts, which burnt up all their miseries and melancholy. At least for now, they were delighted and exalted from the bottom of their hearts.

The puzzle that bothered the school of astrology for thousands of years had been solved today!

After reading the last word, Samantha put down the document in her hand and hinted to the host of the next program to begin with a smile. Then, she left her seat, walked out of the room, and took a deep breath of the refreshing air at night.

"I thought that the discovery of positive electrons was shocking enough. I did not expect that Mr. Evans also found the sun." A few arcanists who were familiar with her joined her.

Looking at the cold, dreamy moon in the sky, Samantha said with a tone of delight, "If it weren't for this… this grand arcanist, I'm afraid that nobody could've devised such a complicated and unimaginable experiment. This is perhaps the kindness of the goddess of fortune and her acknowledgment for the school of astrology's thousands of years of pursuit. That's why she gave us him."

Although no names were mentioned, all the arcanists around knew that she was referring to "Atom Controller" Mr. Evans and that she was not saying "grand arcanist" at first but "monster".

It was one of the nicknames for Lucien that many arcanists used in private because most of his achievements couldn't have been accomplished by any other arcanists in their entire life. However, the guy had been proposing one every once in a while. What could possibly be a monster if he wasn't?

It was for that reason that they did not suspect why Lucien could've devised the unbelievably complicated experiment. He was the synonym of a miracle.

"From today on, the school of astrology will no longer be an ungrounded school anymore…" Another astrology arcanist observed with mixed feelings.

For the arcanists of the school of astrology, they wouldn't suspect the foundation of their prophecies just because planets were real material existences, because the Host Stars of Destiny were indeed right there.

Samantha nodded. "In the next, the focus of our studies will be divided into two directions. The first is to study the black holes, the stars, and the star systems, in order to unravel the mysteries of the real universe, search for its origin, and predict its future development. The other is to explore the connection between the real universe and the host stars, in order to figure out why the operation of stars affects our fate."

"That's right." The eyes of the first arcanist seemed to be burning with fire. Just because something went wrong with determinism did not mean that astrology was dead!

Staring at the silver moon out of the window, Samantha thought to herself. "As a matter of fact, the background that the Church made up for him suits him well. He's both an angel and a devil…"

...

Inside the Theater of Destruction, Oliver did not listen to the broadcast but perused Lucien's report carefully.

He pushed his gold-edged glasses and frowned. "This experiment is too complicated to be devised. It's more like a product of inferring the process after you have known the result. Is this Lucien's reverse engineering?"

As a grand arcanist who had a profound understanding of the universe and who explored the space many times, he noticed something wrong after the first glance. However, he thought that it was because Lucien accidentally got a magic model through the feedback when he researched other things before he reverse-engineered the magic model.

Inside Thunder Hell, on the other hand, Fernando threw the report in his hands onto the table and roared, "This boy must've devised the experiment after he discovered the sun! Don't take me for an idiot!"

With his understanding of Lucien, he had every reason to believe that Lucien must've decided the location of the sun according to other knowledge. Chances were that he even had complete theoretical supports.

After throwing away the report, Fernando saw the words on the latter pages of the report, which were in a different format from the first half. So, he picked up the report again and read carefully.

"It can only be published after verification?" Fernando repeated in a low voice. The few pieces of papers contained a complete record of Lucien and Douglas' conversation, which had only been provided to Fernando and Hathaway, two trustworthy grand arcanists.

Fernando thought for a long time and tried to solve the puzzle in Lucien's words, but he barely made any progress due to the lack of files.

"Why do you give me a record? Just come here and talk to me!" Fernando snorted in fury and activated electromagnetism messaging.

After background noises of electric currents, Fernando heard Natasha's voice.

"Lucien has gone to the Dark Mountain Range?" Fernando repeated what Natasha said and cursed, "This boy is really a fast runner!"

...

The sunlight was blocked by the tall trees. Together with the dangerous space gaps in midair and on the ground, the whole mountain seemed to be forever covered in darkness, giving a devastating and ominous feeling.

It was not Lucien's first trip to the Dark Mountain Range, but he still had no good feelings about this place that reeked of decay and corruption. However, he was not as paranoid, fearing that he might run into any powerful dark creatures, as he used to be in his previous visits. Unknown to him, it was those dark creatures who were so intimidated that they only wanted to keep as far away from this "monster" as possible.

The cold moonlight illuminated the cliff, donning it in a silver gauze. However, the lonely castle standing at the edge of the cliff was nowhere to be seen.

"The Observer's Castle has been moved away?" Lucien looked around in confusion. The forest, which was shattered into a gigantic pit, during the attack of Prince Dracula had been filled up by rainwater and turned into a peaceful lake that was rippling under the moonlight. The reflection of moonlight in the lake was beautiful and agreed with the landscape around. It shouldn't have made Rhine feel that the place lost the grace of nobles and forced him to move his house away.

"What exactly is the reason?" Lucien brought out his crystal ball and began his prophecy, and the result was rather ambiguous, which was within his expectation. It was not an easy thing to predict the whereabouts of Rhine who was supported by the power of the Silver Moon.

Therefore, Lucien took back his crystal ball and planned to ask a local of this place who lived nearby in order to empower his prophecy.

"Well, there's a dark castle over there…" Lucien spread out his spiritual power and discovered intelligent creatures. He blinked and disappeared from where he was.
