BXBX NOVEL Chapter 95 - Two Spell Matrices
Having learned that the spell matrix won\'t just collapse on its own, Lucius felt relieved. He then focused on the aspect which actually caused its collapse and realized that it was Nexus itself.
"Seems like the conflict between Aether and Hell Energy might still be a problem." Lucius muttered to himself.
Lucius had not seen the battle between the two energies as he was asleep. Back then the hell energy and Aether had clashed many times, such that even Lucius\'s body was getting damaged.
Only when the Aether Voluntarily stopped, was the damage healed. But this had also allowed the hell energy to take over and created the channels between the hell imprint and the Nexus.
Lucius still didn\'t understand the exact nature of change that had been caused by the hell energy except for the creation of Hell Aether. But he knew there must be more to it than he was seeing.
\'I\'ll need to test out more…\' Lucius thought.
The next thing that he needed to test was if he could handle more than one spell matrix. The spell matrix he was gonna attempt to make this time was not an offensive spell. The one he was going to make was actually one of his most used spells from his past life.
Lucius closed his eyes and got to making the spell matrix. He spent about an hour before he was able to successfully construct the spell matrix. This spell matrix looked complex than the one for the basic fire ball that Lucius had made.
"There we go…" Lucius muttered upon seeing that the spell matrix was stable and was not causing any problems.
He tried to see if he could add more spell matrix but was met with a very obvious obstacle. The moment he tried to attempt the creation of the next spell matrix, the Aether from Nexus became active.
"Looks like this won\'t work. If I do it the two spell matrices will definitely collapse." Lucius realized.
He wondered what could be the reason for this but could not come up with anything for now. Thinking that this was something he may not be able to solve quickly, Lucius decided to take it steady instead.
~Sigh~
"I\'ll figure it out eventually…" Lucius muttered. "At least I was able to make the second spell matrix… this will come in handy…" Lucius said with a smile.
Though Lucius understood that these spell matrices were like single use spell scrolls that would be destroyed after one use. It meant that in the time that he needed it, he would only have once attempt to use it. Any more and the spell matrix will just collapse.
\'I will have to make them count…\' Lucius thought.
He finally stood up and decided to clean up before changing his clothes. There were a few preparations he needed to do before he went to the party tomorrow. He didn\'t know what would happen there and he wanted to be ready for any possible event.
Lucius had not checked the dress that was prepared by Kiana last night and had simply let it hang on the stand near his wardrobe. He lifted the sheet that was covering it to prevent any dust from falling on it and saw its appearance.
The clothes were a set made out of five parts. There were simple black pants that didn\'t have any pockets but they did have hoops around the waist. Then there was a basic undershirt that was plain white in color. Over it was the main red shirt with pleats on it. There were two pockets in it on the sides while small buttons made out of gold were present on the front.
Then there was the black vest that could be worn over the shirt. It had a special silver broach that was pinned to the left side. The broach was nothing but the Crest of the Inanis Family; the three tailed dragon. Lucius had been intrigued by this recast and often felt like he had seen it somewhere before but could not tell where.
Finally, there was the cape that hung from the very back. Frankly, it looked a bit too much to Lucius but he knew this was the formal dressing of this world and he needed to adapt to it. The cape itself was made out of some kind of beast skin and had fine fur on it.
The cape was finely tailored and looked impeccable. The fur was soft and smooth to the touch being a slate black in color. The three different shades of black really accentuated the complete set and made it look amazing.
"I\'ll meet you tomorrow," Lucius said before leaving the bedroom.
He went to his lab to check if everything was going well and how the wine batches were coming along. While Lucius had already gotten the recipe down for the Humble Blaze, he was not done. Rather he wanted to see what else he could improve on it.
He had tried mixing more fruits in it to see if he could get different flavors from it. This was something he would not be using straightway but would keep it when the demand in the market stabilized. Or… when copycats started to appear he would release the new type of wine to the public.
This was his plan to \'future proof\' his business. At least he hoped that it would be like this.
Once Lucius was done with his work in the lab, he went downstairs and ate his breakfast with Lita and Gabriel. The Count had arrived late at night after finishing up several tasks and wanted to rest for the day.
Lucius and Gabriel talked at length about their plans with the brewery and made sure that everything was going well. The Count also got to know about the attempts by the nosy nobles, but he just told to ignore them for now.
Though when he got to know that Lucius was heading to the party at Barron Harrels territory, he was intrigued.
