Magic Industrial Age

Loy's wealth was something the entire city of Auckland could feel.

However, at the Felanter Magic Academy, he was known for something else entirely: cohabitating with the beautiful teacher, Lilia Lightninger?

Beauty, alas, naturally attracts more attention. A group of young lads, each full of youthful vigor and bursting with hormones, yearned for beauty!

So, although there were no official campus belle rankings, Lilia received an extraordinary amount of attention at the academy!

And this beautiful teacher was actually living with Loy?

This news was like a bolt from the blue, stunning countless students!

Because of this, Loy felt the resentment of his classmates, their gazes fixed on him as if they could kill.

Some upperclassmen even wanted to duel him, the victor earning Lilia's favor.

Loy naturally scoffed at their childish actions. He won his girl himself; why should he care about the opinions of others!

However, he wasn't afraid of the challenges from these upperclassmen.

Wielding a Dawn Rapier, he was unmatched throughout the Felanter Magic Academy. Even the acknowledged sword genius couldn't last three moves in his hands.

In the end, Loy, thoroughly annoyed, even used his rapier to dismember a sword instructor's clothing, causing him to streak naked, scaring everyone.

However, Lilia was not affected by this. On the contrary, she became even more famous.

The reason was simple: she submitted the design blueprints and thesis on the 'Mana Hammer Forging Machine,' causing a huge sensation in the Moonstone Magic Tower.

Mana machinery had not been developed for long. Although there were some achievements, it was still an era of wild growth.

The Habsburg Empire undoubtedly valued talent in all aspects of mana machinery.

And those who could design mana machinery were, without a doubt, the most sought after!

Lilia had originally canceled her vacation to arrange classes, but the thesis she submitted garnered attention.

The Moonstone Magic Tower directly exempted her from teaching, increased her monthly salary, and provided various conveniences and resources, allowing her to focus on research.

Clearly, the higher-ups of the Moonstone Magic Tower recognized the design blueprints and thesis, and the higher-ups of the academy saw it even more clearly.

Any apprentice could teach magical history, but a designer who could design mana machinery could bring benefits that were simply outrageous!

If she and Loy hadn't had a plan, they would have moved the half-finished product in the warehouse behind the Fragrant House directly.

Even so, this time, she began designing a relatively complete mana hammer forging machine, as well as adding a magic crystal-driven component design.

In short, Lilia was now famous in the Felanter Magic Academy, even becoming an object of admiration and pursuit for a group of mage apprentices.

Time flew by quickly, and several days passed in the blink of an eye.

While Maruna continued his efforts, negotiating with those factory owners, Loy's research on potions finally achieved decisive results.

...

New Divine Calendar, February 2nd, 311 A.D.

18 Lombardy Street, second floor, potion laboratory.

Thanks to the efforts of the Hoover butler, Loy finally took down the house on the left.

A 30% premium was too tempting, and the homeowner finally couldn't resist the temptation.

However, Loy didn't make a big deal out of redecorating. He really didn't have the time.

He just arranged for a construction team to open a door in the wall connecting the upper and lower floors.

Then, he specifically isolated more than 20 square meters of space on the first floor and built a bath.

This place would be used for medicinal baths in the future.

The second floor cleared enough space, built a batch of cabinets, bookshelves, long tables, and purchased a lot of medicinal reserves.

The more secret medicines he concocted in the future, the more medicinal materials and potion-making tools he would need, and this time, he was all set.

Inside the potion laboratory, there was also a small room of less than two square meters, the original washroom, which was cleaned up.

Only a futon was placed in the central location.

At this time, Loy was busy in the laboratory. On the long table, various materials were crushed, ground, and boiled in a pot.

A strange herbal smell permeated the air, even Loy could hardly bear it. He stuffed two cotton balls in his nose, and the windows were wide open.

Until the water in the pot was boiled dry, leaving some dark red viscous liquid.

Taking a little, Loy scraped a little powder from the ambergris on the side. After determining the measurement, he put it into the dark red viscous liquid.

Then, he took a short stick and kept stirring, stirring, stirring...

Clearly, not much ambergris was added, but with stirring, the viscous liquid began to solidify continuously.

Until ten minutes later, after stirring evenly, what remained was dark red solid powder.

Loy took some, put it into a special container, constantly compacted it, rolled it, and finally formed a slender object the thickness of a finger and 20 centimeters long.

Holding this slender object, he entered the secret room, sat cross-legged in the middle, and lit the slender object with a match.

The paper burned, the firelight flickered, and soon, only sparks flickered and wisps of blue smoke rose.

At this moment, Loy said, "Deep Blue, record, 131st experiment, determine the effect of 'Meditation Secret Medicine'."

Saying that, he took a deep breath. The blue smoke was swallowed into his nostrils, but it did not sink into the lungs, but went straight to the top of his head.

A cold breath spread in his mind, and Loy only felt that he became exceptionally calm.

Not happy with things, not sad for myself, even distracting thoughts were swept away, so that the soul became clearer and calmer.

Only one thought arose in my heart, Loy immediately sat cross-legged, adjusted his breathing, and closed his eyes slightly.

Then, sink into the darkness.

The latest novels are first published at Six 9 Books Bar!

The darkness in the field of vision does not actually affect the fluctuation of the soul. In a trance, the consciousness outlines strange patterns in the darkness.

The patterns are complex, entangled, and finally transformed into an exaggerated six-pointed star array.

However, after the six-pointed star appeared, it continued to fade, and Loy could only constantly depict, appear, fade, depict, reappear, fade...

I don't know how long this process lasted. It seemed as if a drop of water fell from the air and fell into the darkness, splashing a little ripple.

So, Loy's perception went far away with the ripples. For a moment, it seemed that he saw a lot, and it seemed like a simple illusion.

If it were ordinary times, Loy couldn't even enter this state, but at this time, he was really calmly depicting the six-pointed star array, calmly watching another drop of water fall, splashing ripples...

Time passed like this, and after an unknown amount of time, a wave of fatigue grew from the bottom of my heart, accompanied by countless distracting thoughts.

Perhaps it was the awakening of past lives, Loy's mind has always been changeable, and countless thoughts can be born and die in an instant.

This is his biggest obstacle to entering meditation, until today, until the effect of the medicine.

Suddenly opening his eyes, Loy's perception extended, as if he could perceive some power different from fighting spirit, but equally rare, that seemed to exist in his mind.

The difference is that fighting spirit is difficult to control, just like not being able to control blood flow.

But this rare power moves with the heart, like an extended tentacle!

Even, because it is too flexible, so that as soon as the thought moves, it can rush out directly, and it is obviously not easy to control accurately.

"This, this, this is magic?"

This is Deep Blue's sigh in Loy's heart, but in the next second, he said: "But what is the essence of this power? What is human consciousness? Does man have a soul?

Is this a power attached to the soul? But what does it belong to on the soul?"

"Stop, stop, stop!"

Loy directly called to stop: "Why do you care so much? Deep Blue, you just need to know one thing!"

"What?"

"Your master, after more than half a year of hard work, has finally entered meditation today and has his own magic!"

"Isn't this something worth celebrating?"

"Hahahahahaha!"

Laughter came from Loy's mouth, and even spread out of this small secret room, out of this room.

After working so hard for so long, he finally succeeded, wouldn't he be allowed to be happy?

At this moment, Loy determined that this secret medicine would be called Meditation Secret Medicine 1.0, also known as Anhun Spice.

Its effect is only one: clear the mind and help enter the state of meditation.

On the shelves, the first update, ask for subscription, monthly ticket ha!
