Chapter 368: The Powerful Ring
Translator: Kris_Liu Editor: Vermillion
"The ring can help the caster to stay calmer and more focused, so the casting process is less likely to be interrupted . The effect was equivalent to the fifth-circle magic spell, Focus . The pure ring contains a great magic power which enables the caster to use the fifth-circle spell Lightning Ball two times a day, and the seventh-circle spell Anti-magic Ray two times a day . When sealed, the wearer, before reaching level six, can still forcedly cast the seventh-circle magic once at the cost of completely draining up his spiritual power and damaging his life force .
"The discovery of electron has opened the gate of the micro-world, and it has changed our understanding of the material base of the world . This ring is given to Mr . Lucien Evans, the outstanding arcanist, for his great contribution to the school of Element .
"The discovery brought by the ray is going to be more powerful because of the ray!
"From: Morris Hoffenberg . "
Lucien was shocked after getting the detailed information of the ring, Electron . He believed that Morris' achievement in alchemy was only inferior to the two legendary alchemists, Davey and Klaus .
Although compared to the last Holm Crown ring, less permanently enchanted magic effects were given, this time the enchanted seventh-circle spell was Anti-magic Ray . The special feature of this magic spell made it hard to be compatible with the others . The fact that Morris could still add another enchanted magic effect and a fifth-circle spell already impressed Lucien a lot . If used properly, even if Lucien's cognition world had not been substantialized, indeed there was a good chance that he could survive when facing a senior-rank sorcerer .
Seeing that Lucien put the ring on the middle finger of his left hand, Morris almost burst into tears . The ring was a memorable masterpiece for him in his alchemist career .
Calming down a bit, Morris took out another ring . The hollowed-out white ring was inlaid with a big, transparent diamond . Under the light, the diamond was dazzling .
Morris forced himself to read the award speech:
"Since we human beings got rid of savagery, we have been exploring the secret of life . We crave to know where we come from and what life is . Many great sorcerers spent their whole life on finding the truth, but unfortunately, they never managed to get one step closer . Lucien Evans, however, designed the genius experiment, Miracle Experiment, using his extraordinary way of thinking . Miracle Experiment has revealed us one possibility of the origin of life . At that moment, his radiance could rival that of any gods .
"This is the first step that we human beings take into this forbidden area, and more steps will be taken . The Will of Elements and Holm Royal Magic Academy honor Lucien Evans with the ring for his outstanding contribution to this field . This is the No . 28 Holm Crown ring and its name is Origin . "
The applause became even warmer . Although the discovery of the new particle was a great surprise, nothing could be compared to the shock which was brought by Miracle Experiment designed by Lucien . Every human being would stand in great awe before life!
Lucien had brought the apprentices in with him for the free dinner . Right now, the apprentices were staring at their teacher on the stage as if Lucien was shining . The dazzling rings almost made them feel a bit dizzy . The youngsters were also longing for the great honor, even including the most introverted apprentice, Annick .
Katrina's eyes were shining when Lucien accepted the ring, Origin . As a lady and an arcanist, she burst out, "I really want a ring like this!"
"I really want a ring like this…" Another childish voice came from the side . Drooling, Alferris was holding the largest plate, fork, and knife, but its eyes were only focusing on the rings Lucien was wearing .
"Mr . Evans' so charming!" Heidi and Layria had a different focus, although they longed for the ring as well .
In fact, even for a senior-rank sorcerer in the school of Elements or Alchemy, a Holm Crown ring was still a great goal not because of the value of the ring itself, but for the honor it represented .
Seeing his teacher on the stage, Sprint held his fists tight and his body slightly trembled out of excitement . He kept telling himself that one day he would be on the stage accepting the great honor just like his teacher .
"I'm a bit regretful . Why did I choose to be a battle mage," said Florencia in mixed feelings . "I designed so many rings, but I don't own any of them . "
"You've still got one . We've got nothing," said another senior member of the Will of Element, Caroline, who was also a battle mage, said in a half joking and half disappointed tone .
There was indeed a Holm Crown ring on Florencia's right hand, but that was not hers . It was her husband Oliver's ring, named Cornerstone .
Timothy and Ulysses exchanged a look and they saw the bitterness in each other's eyes . In the past, Larry, Felipe, Timothy, and Ulysses were peers and they were at the same level . However, now both Felipe and Larry had won the prize, and the late-comer, Lucien, had even won three rings . Sometimes, Timothy and Ulysses had to admit that geniuses did exist, and thus they had to work even harder .
They understood what was in each other's eyes . Raising the glass, Timothy and Ulysses toasted .
Lucien accepted the ring and gently stroke its inner side .
