Throne of Magical Arcana

Although he got Health Belt, Pale Justice, and other precious magic items from this adventure, he also consumed lots of senior-rank materials and potions. All he had left right now was a tube of solidified helium, a tube of Alferrisʼ blood, three tubes of liquid helium, four tubes of Water Song, etc.

In addition, the materials that he used for the promotion to senior-rank were loans from Fernando, therefore he had to leave the income from Holm Mineral and Harvest to Fernando as a pledge. His subsidies from the Congress had to go to Alferris for its salary. Although Lucien could still get the materials he needed for experiments using the budget of the institution, he did not have enough Thales or arcana points to do anything else. He needed a new source of revenue urgently.

The air of the dragon in the garden was oppressive. Arthur walked through the garden, feeling quite weak in his knees. When he walked into the living room, enthusiastic smile piled up on his chubby face. ”Hi, Lucien, our youngest member of the Arcana Review Board! Finally, youʼve finally got some time for me!”

”So what makes you here this late?” Lucien was being very straightforward.

Arthur undid the top button and laughed. ”Your placeʼs surely much warmer than mine. My fireplace never worked as well as your magic.”

”Anyways, Lucien,” Arthur continued, ”Iʼm here because the first order of magic crystal lights has been produced. Remember? You changed the materials for producing. Sir James, the Duke, wanted to install crystal lights in his villa in Rentato. Weʼve placed wires from the magic circles powered by water to his villa… of course, under the guidance of several sorcerers from the school of electromagnetics.”

Lucien nodded, waiting for Arthur to finish his words.

”So tonight, we are about to light them up! Sir Jamesʼ place will be the first nobleʼs villa ever thatʼs lit up by magic! This will be a historic event! As the designer, you should definitely be present!” Arthur said humorously with a radiant smile.
