Chapter 108: Diffusion of Influence

“This is because there already exists the law of fire elements, so my alteration of fire elements is only temporary and will soon dissipate.”

Apollo patiently explained to William:

“So, a long time ago, many Arcanists envisioned that perhaps only by completely recreating a new set of world laws could such changes be permanently stabilized, just like when the Gaia World was formed.”

“This is the goal that many Arcanists have been striving for, but so far, no Arcanist has been able to achieve it, so it remains only a speculation.”

“However, for you, William, this is still very distant. What you need to do now is to learn and accumulate.”

“Yes, Teacher Stevens.”

Apollo looked at his outstanding disciple sitting in front of him. William’s talent and comprehension were even better than he had thought. Unable to help himself, Apollo gave him some advice:

“Starting from today, come to me every morning, and you can use the laboratory on the second floor of the workshop as you please. If you have any questions, feel free to come to me.”

“While delving into the study of elemental rules, don’t completely abandon the development of exclusive Arcane arts. These two aspects complement each other.”

“Yes!”

As they went upstairs, William noticed that the second floor of the First Magic Workshop was similar to Master Dahr’s Fifth Magic Workshop, both relatively ordinary laboratories.

But compared to the legendary mage’s own laboratory, the ordinary laboratory of the First Magic Workshop was already much better than Bernie’s laboratory on the third floor of the Fifth Magic Workshop. It probably wasn’t much worse than Joseph’s exclusive laboratory either.

Was this the work of the legendary mage? Amazing!

With such a good opportunity, William naturally wanted to seize it.

“Oh, by the way, are you studying Runic Magic with Joseph?”

Apollo seemed to suddenly remember something and asked William.

“Yes, I was studying Runic Magic and Enchanting with Master Dahr before.”

William replied honestly, wondering why the teacher suddenly asked about this.

“Well, this will be very helpful for your progress. Arcanists need to draw on various strengths, and studying Runic Magic will help you master elemental rules. That kid Joseph is not bad, you should learn from him.”

“Understood, Teacher.”

In fact, even without Apollo’s reminder, William would continue to study Runic Magic and Enchanting. After all, it’s a very practical skill.

“Let’s go, to the laboratory. I’ll see how well you’ve grasped things.”

Apollo stood up and led William towards the laboratory, preparing to start this morning’s teaching.

Just as William began his Arcane studies with “Flame of Judgement,” in the Radiant City, the Fis Palace.

King Morton Fis stood by the window, lost in thought.

“Your Majesty.”

Duke Harold entered the room and bowed to the old king. He didn’t know why he was summoned to the palace in such a hurry today.

Had there been any major events recently?

“Cedric, you’re here!”

Morton handed the paper containing the intelligence to Harold, gesturing for him to take a look before they spoke.

Harold took the information in confusion. There was very little recorded on it, just one sentence.

“Viscount Cain has been accepted as a disciple by ‘Flame of Judgement’ Apollo Stephens.”

“Yes?”

Harold looked at the king in shock, finding it hard to believe.

What’s going on? That Young man he saw just a few days ago has become a disciple of a legendary mage?

It’s unbelievable!

“Cedric, I wonder why William was accepted as a disciple by the ‘Flame of Judgment’?”

Morton Fis said in a deep voice:

“Is it because of some special reason, or is it because the talent of Viscount Cain is already enough to be valued by legendary mages?”

Cedric immediately understood the meaning of His Majesty the King.

If it’s because of some special reason, then it’s fine. But if William’s talent is already sufficient to be noticed by legendary mages, then it almost means that Lord Apollo Stephens believes William might break through to the legendary realm.

It’s worth noting that the kingdom has recommended many candidates to this legendary mage before, all of whom were rejected by him without exception.

“Your Majesty, do you mean to ask me to inquire or probe?”

Duke Harold’s expression became serious at this moment, as he asked respectfully.

The old king pondered for a moment, shook his head at Cedric, and said:

“Regardless of the reason, he is already a disciple of the legendary mage. There’s no need for these probes at all.”

“Rather, I hope that William really has the talent to become a legendary mage.”

A hint of a smile appeared on the king’s face.

“Uh…”

Cedric was momentarily stunned, standing still in place.

“If William can break through to legendary in the future, and with my daughter Hilda, then even if I’m no longer here, I believe the Kingdom of Fis will continue to prosper.”

Morton thought somewhat relieved, then turned to Cedric and said:

“Now that you know the situation, don’t make too much noise on the kingdom’s side. Don’t let too many people know.”

“As for William, the kingdom also needs to show some goodwill. I’ll leave this matter to you.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

Fis Street, Secret Small Building.

Prince Julius came to the study after handling state affairs today.

As the Holy Festival approached, Julius’s time spent here became longer and longer, seemingly relieving some pressure in this way.

After all, orchestrating the assassination of nobles of the kingdom, once discovered, even if he is the second prince, he would fall into an irreparable disaster.

Just as Julius was looking through the intelligence on the table, the study door was knocked.

After obtaining Julius’s permission, the attendant walked in, placed a letter in front of Julius respectfully, and said:

“This is a letter sent to you by the palace.”

“Um.”

Waving his hand to dismiss the attendant, Julius picked up the envelope and glanced at it.

Indeed, it was an official letter from the palace. Why wasn’t I notified when I was at the palace this morning, and it’s sent now?

Julius found it somewhat strange but still opened the envelope.

“Fis Royal Magic Academy Notice: William Cain has been accepted as a disciple by ‘Flame of Judgment’ Apollo Stephens.”

Julius confirmed the contents of the letter on the paper with an expressionless face, sighed deeply, and stood up by the window.

His expression was inexplicable, and one couldn’t tell what this second prince was thinking.

The same letter was sent to the Adventurer’s Villa on Gedo Street.

Nichole looked at the letter in her hand, pondered for a moment, and directly put it into her storage ring, tossing this matter aside.

With her experience, letters sent from the palace definitely didn’t bring any good news, perhaps it would make her go back and endure the old king’s nagging again.

It’s better not to see it and not to worry about it. If something really happens, she’ll just say she forgot to read it.

Anyway, she really didn’t open it!

Although it was much later, this astonishing news gradually spread among the upper echelons of Canlight City in the following days.

This Viscount William Cain gradually became the focus of conversation at social gatherings.
