Chapter 585: A One-Day Trip in Allyn

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

After the call with Natasha, Lucien did not clean his room and his laboratory for the visit of ‘Her Majesty’, like any other single gentlemen would, because Leo, the servants, the golems as well as the tower guard were enough to make every part of the magic tower clean and tidy.

Also, Lucien was a very organized man himself. He had kept all the experiment materials in his own way in case of mistakes during his experiment.

Lucien focused his attention on the Sun’s Corona. During the last couple of days, he had already cracked the last two barriers and grasped the level nine item.

The second to last barrier could only allow Lucien to perform a level nine divine power named ‘Bane of the Undead’, but the last barrier contained the coordinates of the mysterious land recorded by Maskelyne.

The mysterious place was inside the World of Souls and seemed related to the senior-rank spectres. It was possible that the greatest secret of the World of Souls that Rhine talked about was hidden there.

The information left by Maskelyne included more than ten parameters that were associated with the actual circumstances. Only after he obtained the environment data of the World of Souls could he calculate the mysterious place whose coordinates changed all the time.

“I’m already a legendary sorcerer. Exploring the secrets of the World of Souls and rescuing Mr. Maskelyne should be put on my agenda right.” Without Maskelyne and his gift, he could’ve died on the journey to Stuart. Also, any arcanist whose goal was to explore the world would have to visit the World of Souls sooner or later.

Of course, Lucien did not intend to go there anytime soon. He would wait until the six legendary spells were engraved into his soul and go together with others of the Congress of Magic. That would be the safest way.

“I’ll apply to check the intelligence in a couple of days. My permissions should be enough for me to check the information from the senior-rank spectres like Adol…” Lucien began to study Space Staff and analyze ‘Vengeful Gaze’ after making a decision.

……

The next day in the morning, Lucien waited outside of Hathaway’s library on the thirty-third floor of the Allyn magic tower.

Soon, space-time ripples spread out, and Lucien smelled something familiar.

Soundlessly, the door was opened, and a tall lady walked out. Natasha was wearing a white hunting suit and long pants, which agreed with her vibe and look and made her even more attractive.

Looking at Lucien’s daze, Natasha pressed her chest with her right hand and bowed, “Your Excellency, you are the truth of elements and the staff that masters space and time.”

“My lady, you are my truth.” Lucien tried to be humorous although he was somewhat regretful. He had gotten much taller, but he was still several centimeters shorter than Natasha. Thankfully, it wasn’t too obvious now.

Standing next to Lucien in a smile, Natasha observed the Allyn magic tower. “This place is more beautiful than I remembered. It’s simplistic and magnificent. The mysterious patterns and the silver brilliance constitute a dreamy style.”

“The Allyn magic tower always leaves an ineffable impression on every sorcerer or apprentice after their visit. Your Majesty, your knight will show you the Atom Institution first.” Lucien extended his right hand as an invitation.

Natasha chuckled, “That is a mysterious, forbidden area all nobles and citizens talk about. The deepest secrets of the world seem to be hidden there.”

Under the introduction of ‘Arcana Voice’, the regular citizens were quite awed by the Atom Institution who had many major discoveries.

Since there wasn’t any pressure or danger, Natasha was rather relieved and asked about everything she saw.

Their conversation and laughter caught the attention of Hellen, who opened her library and asked, frowning, “This is…”

Natasha did not have any badge of magic or arcana on her chest.

“She is my fiancée Natasha and the queen of Holm. You must’ve met her before, Ms. Hellen?” Lucien introduced, although it appeared that Hellen did not know Natasha.

Natasha also said courteously, “Ms. Hellen, I heard a lot about you from Granny Hathaway. You are one of the most admirable ladies to me.”

Hellen’s eyebrow loosened. “So, you are Natasha. I saw your image and heard your name before, but I never associated them.”

Lucien tried to hold back his laughter. It was obviously not something that Ms. Hellen was interested in.

Now that the identity of the guest was confirmed, Hellen shut the door of her library without any smalltalk and continued dwelling in her world.

“Ms. Hellen has the most delicate look among all the females I know.” When they stepped into the life, Natasha praised with a smile.

Lucien’s lips twitched. “Why do you care about her looks…”

“What else should you care about?” Natasha felt that it was only reasonable. Then she realized what was going on. “Rest assured, I’m absolutely loyal. I won’t have any other thoughts during my appreciation.”

Lucien touched the hair behind Natasha’s knight hat without a word. What he needed to worry about was truly different from that of common men.

At the edge of life, Natasha pointed at the thirty-first floor. “Isn’t the Sky Radio Station. I like Nightingale and Lark’s voices. How do they look?”

Natasha asked similar things a few years ago, but Lucien, fearing that he would have more competitors, simply replied to her with excuses. After all, he was not qualified to catch the attention of the Violet Countess back then.

“They are not in the Sky Radio Station during the day.” Lucien explained.

“What a shame. But I’ll stay in Allyn tonight. Will you show me the Sky Radio Station?” Asked Natasha with great interest.

Now that they had settled their relationship, Lucien naturally did not have his previous worries. He smiled, “That’s not a problem. I am still the manager of the Sky Radio Station in name.”

……

Inside the Atom Institution, Lazar, Heidi, Alfalia and other people waited excitedly and anxiously. They had seen the queen’s image in the newspaper but never met her in person. Also, it was a sign that Mr. Lucien Evans had officially ended his single life.

In such an atmosphere, the gate of the institution was opened. Heidi keenly saw her teacher walking next to a purple-haired lady.

“She’s so gorgeous…”

“How beautiful!”

“No wonder our teacher fell in love with her.”

“They are really a match.”

Natasha’s look fitted the appetite of the ladies on the spot, who believed that she had certain masculine beauty that differed her from the female sorcerers.

After Lucien’s cough, Katrina and the students were back to themselves and bowed respectfully, “Good morning, master. Good morning, Your Majesty.”

Alfalia and Lowi pressed their chest and their forehead. “Your Excellency, you are the truth of elements and the staff that masters space and time. Good morning, Your Majesty.”

After that, Lucien introduced his friends like Lazar and Jerome and his students like Annick and Layria to Natasha one by one.

After the assistants left, Heidi summoned her courage to ask, “Your Majesty, how did your relationship with our master begin? All the sorcerers in Allyn are curious about it!”

“Just say that you are curious about it, lovely little girl.” Natasha looked at Heidi with a vague smile. “Long story short, I pushed your master over.”

Heidi and Layria both raised their thumbs. How majestic! Being straightforward seemed the best solution to deal with a mild man like their master!

“You seem quite free today.” Lucien interjected. “I’ll give you another mission. You can study the mechanism of the ancillary computation circles.”

Heidi looked awful. Their teacher had obvious translated his embarrassment into a task.

“If you want to know the details, I’ll tell them to you later.” Natasha followed Lucien to the laboratory with a smile.

After she entered the laboratory, Natasha saw the sharp, cold and simple alchemical devices inside and the indescribable patterns on the experiment platforms, giving permanent shock.

“This is entirely different from my mother’s laboratory. It has more… beauty of the space.” Shocked, Natasha tried to express her feeling.

“Such is the charm of arcana and magic. Come here, try this cyclotron.” Lucien shared his studies with Natasha.

After activating the cyclotron, Natasha saw the dreamy traces of electrons in the cloud room. She exclaimed in amazement, “Are they tiny electrons?”

Lucien was about to answer, when the voltage part of the cyclotron suddenly broke down.

“It’s not my fault…” Natasha didn’t think she had made any mistakes with the operation.

Lucien checked it. “It’s regular attrition. Come here and try this magnifying magic circle.”

A moment later, Natasha said innocently again, “This is really not my fault.”

“Of course. It’s also regular attrition…”

After Lucien’s tour with Natasha, three alchemical devices and two magic circles crashed. Although they took up less than one percent, it was still the attrition of almost one month.

“Perhaps they are scared of me?” Scratching her chin, Natasha carefully looked for an excuse for such an anomaly.

Amused, Lucien said, “Soon enough, you will be given the title of ‘Experiment Device Destroyer’.”

“It’s definitely because I was not lucky today!” Declared Natasha resolutely.

……

Lucien showed Natasha the central area of Allyn and returned to his magic tower at noon.

“This is more whimsical and fantastic than the Atomic Institution… Well designed.” Natasha was shocked by Lucien’s ‘Babel’ again.

“Nice to meet you, masteress.” ‘Pinocchio’ greeted her.

Very interested in the wisdom of alchemical life, Natasha looked at Lucien and asked, “You didn’t teach him?”

“Of course not.” Lucien secretly raised his thumb at Pinocchio.

Pinocchio replied proudly, “I am the smart Pinocchio!”

“I remember that Pinocchio was a puppet whose nose grew long if he told lies in your tale.” Natasha chuckled, “Was it a metaphor that you tricked many people?”

Pinocchio said loudly, “No, I’m not a lying puppet; I’m the honest Pinocchio. Yes, very honest!”

Lucien pulled Natasha into the magic tower with a smile and stopped her from further teasing Pinocchio.

After visiting the magic tower and the magic garden, they returned to the living room and waited for lunch.

When Lucien was about to discuss schools and laws with Natasha, Natasha suddenly rose and closed the door of the living room, before she looked at Lucien with a mischievous smile.

“What’s up?” Asked Lucien in confusion.

Natasha kept her smile. “Let me tell you a piece of good news. By perceiving the rules inside the Sword of Truth, I have already advanced into level nine. I’ve finally surpassed you again.’

Born a knight, she was very happy that her strength would be higher for the time being. She knew that Lucien, whose cognitive world had half-solidified, would surpass her eventually, so she decided to make the best use of the years while she had the ‘dominance’.

Therefore, she rubbed her fists eagerly. “I’ll hug you in exactly the same way you did to me! I’m going to relish it!”

While talking, she sensed Lucien’s mood carefully. She would give up if he disliked her being too pushy. It was the fundamental principle of their relationship.

Lucien was delighted at Natasha’s improvement at first, but then he simply stood there with a smile.

Seeing no objection from Lucien, Natasha intentionally walked to Lucien slowly and extended her hands at him with wicked laughter.

But all of a sudden, Natasha realized that Lucien was as terrifying as a pillar that was deeply rooted in the earth and could not be moved. Then, she sensed an enormous force on her back and her legs, before she was swept off her feet, unable to resist.

She waved her hands and feet crazily, trying to free herself, but his arms were like two unbreakable manacles.

“You have already advanced into legendary?”

Natasha was back to herself and asked in disbelief, her eyes widened. She was both delighted and panicked, both awed and upset.

……

The dinner was much later than scheduled. Looking at Natasha who was unusually exhausted, Lucien said in a great mood, “I’ll entrust the regulation of the alchemical workshops to you.”

Blushing, and with persistence burning inside her body, Natasha swore that she would try to become a legend!

She nodded her head. “I’ll ask Duke James to propose a bill to the parliament. Right, the intelligence department mentioned that the dwarf craftsmen are worshiping a mysterious God of Steam. Why do I have the feeling that it has something to do with you?”
