Liszt still underestimated Acherloides’ efficiency. While he was busy inspecting the construction of his territory, only a month had passed when Acherloides managed to create the theoretical magic microscope.
“Lord Acherloides provided the design, and I led a group of outstanding Grand Magicians day and night in a rush job, and after repeated polishing, we finally completed this magic microscope that can be operated by an Archmage,” Lerald·Truth excitedly introduced on behalf of him.
During this time settled in the Flame Kingdom, he had quickly integrated into the Magic Guild.
The high-end magic research projects presided over by Acherloides were eye-opening for him. He felt that the truths he had encountered before were just scratching the surface; this place was the true holy land of Truth. Despite being an Archmage himself, his admiration for Acherloides had reached the point where he considered himself her disciple.
It must be said that the Earth knowledge explained by Liszt to Acherloides may have deviated slightly in this world, but it greatly broadened Acherloides’ perspective, allowing her to examine the meaning represented by magic from a greater height.
It also often meant coming closer to the Truth.
Therefore, the research topics she studied were so shocking and fascinating to Lerald.
Lerald organized his own knowledge and also supplemented Acherloides with a wealth of basic magic. Now, Acherloides not only had profound foundational knowledge but also a forward-looking perspective. Her mastery of magic definitely surpassed those Magicians from the ancient Moon Empire and Sun Empire.
The magic telescope, extremely cumbersome for Liszt, was simply conceptualized by Acherloides after a few days of thought and she already had a completed approach.
Then it was operated by magicians like Lerald who had many years of experience in making magic equipment.
Swiftly, the magic telescope appeared before Liszt’s eyes.
A massive device, standing three meters tall and shaped like a giant iron barrel, was etched with dense magic runes and had several complex magic arrays embedded within it.
“Low Magic, High Magic, and Superior Magic, though originating from the same source, have completely different particle movements at the microscopic level. Ordinary magicians can only access Low Magic and are unable to use the magic telescope; those Archmages with High Magic can barely use it; but when Lord Acherloides mounts the Unicorn, entering the realm of Superior Magic, she can perfectly control the magic telescope,” Lerald explained, inadvertently glancing at Unicorn Charlie.
This unimaginably beautiful unicorn truly was an enviable being, especially in combination with a magician—they complemented each other perfectly.
“Brother, Acherloides has already used the magic telescope to observe the fine structure of the gourd…” Acherloides was about to give a detailed explanation when she suddenly realized Lerald and the others were still there and issued an unceremonious command, “Lord Lerald, please leave the laboratory for the time being.”
“As you wish.” Lerald was not offended, gave a slight bow, and then led the other Grand Magicians out of the laboratory.
Within the Magic Guild, Acherloides’ position was truly unique.
Once everyone had left and the laboratory door was closed, Acherloides finally said, “The fine structure of the gourd is very interesting, brother. Guess what Acherloides thought of first when she saw this structure?” She had a faint smile on her lips, showing a girl’s innocence only in Liszt’s presence.
“The Magic Web?”
“Not that.”
“Dragon?”
“Not that either.”
“Then I have no idea.” Liszt expressed his helplessness.
Acherloides laughed, “I’ll give you a hint—mermaid.”
“Mermaid?” Liszt racked his brain but couldn’t make any connection with mermaids for a long time, and finally guessed at random, “Could it be thinking of the devil?”
“No, brother, it’s the ocean!”
“The ocean?”
“Mm, on the atomic level, Acherloides couldn’t feel any difference in the gourd. But on a more subtle level, like the ocean, constantly churning, magic is pushed back by the ocean the moment it makes contact. The subtle level of ordinary materials, however, is not like the ocean; it’s like a layer of stone, and magic easily penetrates through it.”
Acherloides described what she saw through the magic telescope, explaining that the observed material could be assumed as a type of filter.
Some filters are built with large rocks, and magic penetrates them effortlessly; others are built with pebbles, through which magic also passes without trouble; some filters are made of fine sand, where magic penetrates slightly slower; and there are filters made of even finer dust, where much of the magic is blocked.
In contrast, the filter of the gourd is composed of seawater, with virtually no gaps for magic to penetrate.
Understanding what Acherloides had explained, Liszt furrowed his brow, “So Acherloides, do you think the gourd’s seawater structure has any connection to the Barrier?”
He didn’t care what the gourd looked like.
His concern was always the information about the Barrier.
“Brother, after synthesizing the research from the past six months, Acherloides has made a rough judgment about the Barrier,” Acherloides spoke earnestly, “The Barrier is a boundary for matter, spirit, and magic. Take the Formless Dragon Bard, for example; its Barrier is clearly a material one.”
Acherloides then went into a detailed analysis of Bard’s situation.
Bard can traverse material, the boundaries of material, and worlds beyond material, and while it appears to be an act of breaking through Barriers, it is not actually the case.
“Bard’s ability has not transcended the limits of the material Barrier. The real material Barrier is not the tearing of material boundaries or alchemical changes like turning stones to gold but another dimension altogether. Like the Dragon of the Magic Web, it does not tear through boundaries like Bard, yet it’s capable of permeating material, existing within material, its boundaries, and worlds beyond.”
This analysis gave Liszt food for thought.
Acherloides continued, “Now, about the gourd’s subtle level, its seawater-like structure that blocks magic from penetrating. In Acherloides’s view, it doesn’t reveal a material Barrier, but a magic Barrier. At least it’s a magical Barrier when trying to penetrate this particular dimension. When magic can penetrate the gourd, it means the Barrier in this respect has been broken.”
Liszt asked, “If this is indeed a magic Barrier, does that mean that if I practice with Leo, we should follow this line of thought, shaping our magic to penetrate the Barrier that the gourd represents?”
“The idea is roughly like that, but Acherloides has not thoroughly considered the specific details of cultivation. Don’t be anxious, brother, Acherloides needs to reference more clues to finally decode the true secret of the Barrier.”
“Although I’m impatient, I can endure it,” Liszt gave Acherloides a reassuring glance, “I am already at the pinnacle of power in this world, and I’m only twenty-two years old this year, so I still have a lot of time… Acherloides, we both have long lives ahead of us, there’s no need for either of us to rush.”
“Mm-hmm,” Acherloides nodded vigorously.
Liszt then played with her azure locks.
Even though the Smoke Mission was like a fishbone stuck in his throat, he could only treat it as overcoming his dependency on the Smoke Mission, perhaps after overcoming it, he would be able to see more clearly what the Power of Destiny truly was.
Suddenly.
A flash of insight crossed his mind, “Perhaps, the ‘Favor of Destiny’ rewarded by the Smoke Mission, is to let me recognize the Power of Destiny, to contemplate it?”
The unknown lies ahead.
But his mindset had quickly stabilized; countless Dragon Knights through the ages failed to break through the Barrier, and even if he didn’t complete this Smoke Mission, he would not have lived in vain. Now it was an opportune time to focus all his energy on building the Kingdom, to lay a solid foundation.
