Lev Lainur Flauros (Part 2)

The personality in front of him is Lev Walter's personality, which exists to fill that void.

And it will correctly receive warnings from the past and spread them throughout this era. It will allow the world and theorems that once existed in the past to be replicated in the modern world. This is what is known as the mystical revival, bringing the Age of Gods back to this world.

And that is Lev's research, and it is a destiny that has been believed since its inception, and there is no doubt about its correctness.

However, the idea of returning to the mythical age of mysticism is far too exaggerated, especially in this era of diminishing mystery and the absence of gods. To dream of reviving mystery in such a barren age is undoubtedly a pipe dream. Lev was considered crazy when he proposed this project, so no Human Order his ideas.

None of the Magus understood Lev. He was a magical prodigy who, like Kenneth, reached the Fes (Priest) Festival Rank of the fourth tier of Magecraft around the age of twenty. He should have been the center of attention, continuing to make his mark. If he had continued to perform well, he could have established his own new Mage Families in London, or married into a major Mage Families and become its leader. His future would have been incredibly bright.

However, just when everyone had high hopes for this young man, for many years after obtaining the Festival Rank, Lev secluded himself in archaeology, quietly fulfilling his duties. His attempt to revive the Age of Gods, which could never return, led to him being ridiculed as a "research fanatic" or a "reclusive Chairman" instead of a magical genius.

His decision to leave this time was due to his lack of progress, which disgusted and annoyed his teachers and the entire Archaeology Department. They thought he was crazy and wanted to expel him, naturally cutting off his funding. Without funds to purchase materials to continue his magical research, Lev had no choice but to visit different Mage Families one by one to solicit investment, and the Crowley Family became his last target on this trip.

Before this, he had already been ridiculed by many Mage Families, who called him a fool who only dreamed and wasted his bloodline talent, telling him to go back and continue dreaming.

Because he had been isolated for so long, Lev didn't even know that the Crowley Patriarch had met with misfortune half a year ago. The young man in front of him Rovey, was actually the new Crowley Patriarch of the Crowley family. He just thought of him as the new generation Magus of the Crowley Family.

Having stayed for so long without seeing the Crowley come out to greet him, Lev guessed that the plan was probably over, so he decided to leave and think of another way.

Result...

As he was leaving, Rovey stopped him and offered to fund Lev's research. Since the Archaeology Department didn't support it, he was willing to provide a place for Lev to conduct his research at the Crowley Family.

After all, while others might not know, Rovey certainly did.

He understood all too well the value and talent of Professor Lev before him. The reason the professor was so determined to revive the mystical and Age of Gods wasn't because he was insane, but rather because of the mission and responsibility he was entrusted with. And the achievements this man could make in the future far surpassed those of the so-called Lord of the Clock Tower. Many of Chaldea's advanced technological devices also originated from this professor's research.

Such a good laborer, no, I should say assistant and partner, has offered himself up, and he just happened to be down on his luck and hadn't been recruited by Maris of Department of Astromancy Lord.

How could Rovey possibly let this go?

The Crowley Family is now in decline, but a fallen noble is still a noble. Tightening their belts and maintaining their funds and their ability to decipher the Law Book is not a problem at all.

Moreover, Rovey had a premonition that ordinary Magus would have no way to obtain the Law Book, but the person in front of him was no ordinary Magus. He was sure that this person could become his helper. So he chose to reason with him and appeal to his emotions, showing all his sincerity to keep this top-notch assistant.

Similarly, hearing the condition proposed by Rovey naturally surprised, even astonished, Lev was prepared to leave empty-handed.

He never expected that the young man in front of him, with whom he got along so well, was actually the new head of the Crowley Family. More importantly, the young man didn't treat him like a madman, but instead highly approved of his plan and was even willing to give him all his resources.

What does it really mean that a Mage Families would provide full support, both in terms of funding and facilities?

Previously, Lev would never have dared to dream of such a thing. It involved a massive amount of funds and assistance, and even the use of Leyline magic to support the workshop. This was undoubtedly a timely help for him, comparable to a benefactor.

This moved him deeply, and he almost burst into tears, after all, Rovey was the first Magus in all these years to acknowledge him.

Lev is a pure Magus, and also a pure human being. His purpose is to revive lost mysticism, so he naturally couldn't refuse such generous offers. Therefore, he immediately regarded Rovey as his lifelong confidant, a partner who also wanted to revive the Age of Gods, and the most important person besides reviving mysticism, an understanding ally with whom he could move forward together.

So, without any hesitation, and without even considering whether there might be a trap involved, Lev moved out of the Archaeology Department and into the Crowley Family's home the next day, officially becoming Rovey's first external advisor and beginning his own research.

After spending some time together, and after confirming that Rovey signed a contract with Lev for a multiple Magic Contract.

[After becoming an external consultant, Lev can conduct research here, with the Crowley Family providing resources to support him. However, the research data must be sold to the Crowley Family as a monopoly. Furthermore, Lev will also act as his assistant in some of his complex Magecraft experiments, helping him conduct the experiments.]

Lev didn't even blink at these conditions, let alone try to bargain.

After all, in his view, as long as he could continue the revival experiment, everything else was irrelevant.

Moreover, Rovey also wanted to revive the mysterious and powerful Magecraft that he possessed. For such a like-minded partner, he would naturally share everything he knew without hesitation, and they could simply share research materials together.

As for the subsequent guidelines, they are even simpler.

At the time, Rovey was an "Cause," while he was a "Festival Rank." Even though he was Festival Rank despised by the Clock Tower, he was still Festival Rank, and guiding Rovey was no problem at all.

Then he realized that not only was he not simple, but Rovey Crowley was even more complex than he had imagined.

In particular, the damned forbidden book, "The Law Book," has not been completely destroyed. Rovey has a fragmented original manuscript of "The Law Book" and is currently deciphering and reproducing it.

When Lev saw the book, his eyes widened immediately.

He naturally knew of Aleister, the audacious genius of the sorcery who dared to overturn the Magic Ball theory and religious doctrines a century ago, and was ultimately hunted down and vanished from the world. He had also heard of Aleister's most famous book, the * Law Book *, though he had never seen it in person. Today, he was actually seeing it here, and the experiment Rovey mentioned was actually deciphering the * Law Book *, dismantling its spells, and learning and replicating them.

Although Lev was surprised and shocked by this audacious act, he did not refuse Rovey's request. It wasn't just because of the contract, but also because he was eager to see what knowledge was written in this legendary forbidden book and whether it could help him in his mysterious reappearance.

So, having confirmed that they were both very reliable, the two began to decipher the Law Book together.

Furthermore, based on Rovey's expertise in alchemy and Lev's expertise in summoning and archaeology, the two painstakingly dissected the incomplete Law Book into two spells that Kenneth would scream upon seeing: [Hallcraft] and [Angel Summoning], as well as many useful modern Western Magecraft systems.

However, disassembly is one thing, and practice is another.

Lev was extremely satisfied with the Angel Summoning spell he had dismantled, believing that angels were also a symbol of the Age of Gods, and that this spell could greatly help his current research.

However, it must not be used lightly, because summoning magic usually requires sacrifices, and the best sacrifice is undoubtedly a soul. Angel Summoning, even if there are no angels in this era, would likely only summon something illusory. The risks involved still need further testing and refinement. So he told Rovey to wait until he had done more research before trying to experiment. Therefore, he only disassembled the spell but didn't rush to test it. He continued to focus on his current work.

However, to his surprise, Rovey was such an oddball—no, a master of courting death!

Although he verbally promised himself he would never do anything reckless, before he could even react, the other party vanished without a trace, leaving him in this workshop a hundred meters underground, with only a letter leaving the absurd message: 'Something came up recently, will be back in a while.'

What's even more outrageous is that when he left, he not only took the Law Book but also information about Angel Summoning magic. Even Lev could guess what this madman was up to.

But it was too late to stop him then, because even the butler hadn't told him where he was going, and he couldn't find him anywhere. So he could only stay at home and pray that this reckless guy wouldn't get into any trouble.

That's why he was so anxious to come out and check the situation when he finally saw Crowley, who had been out of contact for so long, finally return.

At this moment, in Crowley's underground workshop.

When he saw Lev come out looking furious, Rovey smiled awkwardly. He realized that Rafe was indeed quite angry with him this time, so he took the initiative to greet him, "Oh, it's Lev. That's rare. You didn't bury yourself in your research in your room, but came out to greet me. I'm really touched. You truly are my best partner."

"Hehe..."

In response to Rovey's attempt to change the subject, Lev sneered, "Don't misunderstand, Crowley. While I did guess it was you coming back, I was more worried that someone with ulterior motives might have broken in, so I came out to check. After all... why would someone come home and not turn on the lights?"

"Haha, I just think it creates a better atmosphere without the lights on."

"And Crowley, I advise you to give me a proper explanation for what happened this time. Otherwise, I won't let this go so easily."

"Relax, partner, I'm fine. Instead of worrying about my safety, why don't you come and see what I've gained this time?"

In response to Lev's questioning, Rovey chuckled, then slightly turned his body, freeing Lev's previously obstructed view once again.

"Hmm? You mean the results..."

Hearing that same annoying and disobedient tone, and after looking at Rovey in front of him and confirming that he was indeed alright, Lev let out a long sigh of relief. He then took off his hat and placed it in front of his chest, before looking at the pillar behind him that was emitting four different colored lights, or rather, the pillar that was the prototype of angels and elves.

As he sensed the change emanating from the magic, astonishment gradually appeared in his eyes.

"What... what's going on? What did you do to my spell? These four pillars shouldn't be able to revive!"

Lev cried out in astonishment.

"Don't worry, my friend, it's just a tiny little adjustment on my part."

"Minor adjustments? How can you adjust something inanimate to bring it to life? To replicate a true angel, divinity is naturally indispensable. Did you capture a god? Or did you find a god's remains and add them in? Or perhaps... you didn't steal the remains of Saint from the Church, did you?!"

"Calm down, Lev... In this era where the gods have left, where am I supposed to catch them? As for the Church, it's even more outrageous. I'm a Magus and the successor of Aleister. Just by appearing in front of them, I'll be branded a heretic and thrown into flames for judgment. How could I possibly dare to go there and steal things?"

Seeing that Lev was becoming increasingly agitated, Rovey quickly waved his hand, signaling him to calm down.

"Then... how did you do that?!"

Lev took a deep breath, calmed himself, and asked, "Unlike demons without divinity, angels cannot be resurrected without divine materials."

"A very niche little experiment. Do you remember the article I wrote before about the commonalities between Alchemy and Christianity theory?"

"... You're not suggesting that you liken your inner self to God, transforming yourself into an omnipotent lord, and using a religious Magecraft framework to define your surroundings as Right Seat of God, Left Seat of the Earth, Back Seat of the Water, and Front Seat of the Wind —the four extremes of the world, symbolizing the communication between the four archangels and the four elemental spirits in Alchemy. And then, through your extremely bizarre theories, you continuously deduce and refine this communication, finally concluding that perhaps the four elemental spirits of Alchemy in the distant past were actually the four archangels of Christianity, but because the previous Age of Gods left the gods, and the new generation, due to mysterious weakness, didn't have time to ascend to godhood, they remain merely spirits in this absurd state?"

Upon hearing this, Lev's eyes widened even more.

"Yes, I think that's quite right."

Rovey shrugged. "Although I know this is nonsense, isn't Magecraft inherently idealistic? Celestial Magecraft has been revised countless times due to breakthroughs in astronomy, overturning many previous views. But if those views were truly wrong, then why could people in the past still use Magecraft? And there are countless interpretations of the soul; which one is correct?"

"So..."

Faced with Lev's shocked gaze, Rovey calmly stated his opinion.

"Only by believing in your heart can you possess true True Magic. Magecraft doesn't necessarily need to be real; you just need to believe. This is what is meant by the mind overcoming matter."

"Magic is the power refined from life force. Magecraft is the phenomenon caused by magic. Therefore, all Magecraft is supported by the primal power surging from the depths of life. And belief and faith are also a kind of power."

"No, let me calm down... You're really going too far. Let me sort this out first. Before you tried this outrageous idea that transcends time and simultaneously tramples on both the Christianity and the Magic Ball theory of the past, did you do any prior experiments?"

"No."

"No! You damn bastard, oh! Crowley, you stupid groundhog! You're driving me crazy! Right now I really want to kick your ass with my spiked boots, you reckless idiot!!"

"How dare you compare yourself to an omniscient and omnipotent lord without any testing, and use elemental spirits to impersonate the four archangels to evolve your own sanctuary?! This is utter recklessness! Do you even know what you're doing? It's unbelievable! How did I ever sign a contract with this reckless guy? You're a complete madman! Can your soul really withstand this impersonation and enslavement?!"

After learning of Rovey's crazy actions, Lev, wearing a green coat, immediately clutched his head and howled in pain.

He then immediately moved closer to Rovey, his gaze fixed on him, trying to find something amiss.

He couldn't believe that a human could stand here unharmed while using special Magecraft to Simulated God and the four archangels.

At this moment, Lev even began to wonder if Crowley was already dead, and if the person he was talking to was a summoned demon or some kind of angel.

However...

Rovey's familiar gesture of covering his head, along with a sigh, interrupted him.

"Stop messing around, Lev, I'm fine. And look, it's a success, isn't it?"

Seeing how worried Lev was about him, Rovey smiled.

He couldn't tell Lev that his own personhood was that of God, so Simulated God wouldn't have any impact on him, but he still patiently reassured him.

After all, Lev deserves much credit for deciphering the Law Book and perfecting the original owner's messy and incomplete angelic spells.

For some reason, he is extremely familiar with and skilled in Demon Summoning and Angel Summoning.

He even asked Rovey if he was interested in Solomon again.

Angel Summoning from the Law Book is indeed difficult to succeed, but summoning demons is much simpler. He even wanted to help Rovey replicate the Magic King's miracle, but Rovey actually managed to do it.

This surprised and pleased Lev.

Since angels, like demons, belong to the Age of Gods, the fact that Rovey was able to complete the foundation of the Age of Age of Gods in his own way in this era shows that his research extended by the Law Book was not problematic, and for him, this was a new path.

His original plan to revive the Age of Gods was to recreate the 72 Demons of the Magic King, then find someone worthy to serve him, making him the new Magic King of this era and leading the age back to its former mystique.

Even though this thing is different from the Angel Summoning Spell in the Law Book, it is still a form of summoning and is interconnected, but its nature is even more insane.

After all, he only wanted Rovey to replicate Solomon, but Rovey directly compared his inner self to an omniscient and omnipotent Lord, implying... God, the Holy Spirit!

What a complete madman...

With a deep sigh, Lev silently put his original plan on hold.

Now that Rovey has made such significant progress, it's time to put his 72 Demons project on hold. The next goal should be to help Rovey completely perfect the spells of the four angels, striving to replicate them as soon as possible—no longer false angels, but true Guardian Angel unique to him and Rovey.

Recreate the miracles of the Son and the Holy Spirit, and then return to the Golden Age with mystery!

As for the plan to recreate the 72 Demons?

Sorry, what 72 Demons? I'm really not familiar with them.

He would choose whoever could help him revive the mystical.

Therefore, I, Lev, am now a staunch supporter of angels.

"Wow! This is your Guardian Angel? She's definitely something else!"

Seeing the four alchemical angels that Rovey had specially summoned for the demonstration, Lev's gaze became even more fervent.

At this moment, the ideal of reviving the mystical world truly saw hope, and he was even more proactive and desperate Rovey.

Normally, to maintain normal physiological functions, Rovey needs to sleep about four hours a day, and only uses Magecraft to make up for the rest. Lev is even more extreme; he only sleeps about three hours every three days, and uses Magecraft to tough it out the rest of the time. If Rovey didn't often force him to rest, this guy would probably faint on the lab table and then wake up to continue doing experiments.

Such dedicated employees and partners made Rovey's eyelids tingle.

"Phew, fine, even if I don't want to believe you actually completed this outrageous spell. But since your plan has succeeded, all I can do now is offer my blessings and approval. In any case, let's put the 72 Demons project on hold for now. From now on, I will do my best to help you truly bring these four angels back to life in this world."

"By the way, write me a detailed report on the magical power and elemental status of your four archangels. Also, combat data; it would be invaluable if the opponent were Heroic Spirit."

Seeing that things had gone well, Lev quickly cheered up. As long as his loyal partner, Rovey, was alright, that was all that mattered to him. Besides, he had actually completed his outrageous spell. Now was not the time to be wasting time here; he should be focusing on his research.

He always held the motto "Time is money," and he utterly despised wasting time. If Rovey hadn't returned, he probably wouldn't have left the workshop at all. Now that he was sure Rowe was alright and he had a new research project to work on, Lev couldn't wait to go back and start his research.

"Alright... I'll write down what you want tonight. But you should go out and take a look around, shouldn't you? Staying underground all the time, not coming out for months at a time, you're practically a ghoul in the cave. Your complexion has become quite unpleasant."

Although Lev's dedication and hard work made Rovey very happy, he was genuinely afraid that Rovey would suddenly faint and switch to another personality.

"Hmph, this little thing is no challenge for me. I only need to rest for an hour each day. Don't worry, my physical functions are monitored every day. As long as I maintain the minimum speed to make a living, that's enough."

"You're not kidding, are you...?"

Upon hearing Lev's calm reply, Rovey's eyelids twitched.
