The first was to visit the grand library at Saratoga and look for textbooks about this art.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Second, he could contact the Twilight Brotherhood and use their extensive network!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This secret society was one of the, if not the oldest organizations in Tron. Over the years, they had naturally amassed an astronomical amount of resources.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through Elrod, Adam had learned that the Brotherhood had secret libraries built throughout the Acadian Empire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, in order to access these libraries, he would have to complete certain missions for the organization. There was no such thing as a free lunch in this world—or any world, for that matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Adam was already on a long-term mission in Ravenfell, that didn't mean he couldn't accept other smaller missions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If I'm unable to find any books on runic magic in Saratoga, I will have no other option than to contact the Brotherhood's handler, Adam thought to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was inside his dorm room, sitting by the fireplace and sipping wine. The room was dimly lit, illuminated by the flickering flames from the fireplace before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The soft glow cast dancing shadows across the walls, creating a cozy atmosphere. Moreover, the crackling of the firewood provided a soothing background sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adam sat on his plush armchair and leisurely drank from his gourd. He closed his eyes and savored the flavor. Then, he glanced at the gourd and mumbled, \"Perhaps I should create a new wine. I'm kind of getting bored with Adam's Tears.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He put the gourd on the side table and conjured a piece of fresh parchment paper and a quill. He then glanced at the fireplace in a daze, his eyes flashing with a reminiscent light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So much has happened in the last half a year, yet it feels like a fleeting moment. I wonder how he's doing…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adam dipped the quill in ink, his face illuminated by the warm, orange glow of the fireplace. His lips formed a gentle smile as he began writing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Dear Old Man,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'I hope you are doing well. Now that I'm not there with you in Herbs & More, things must have become pretty boring for you, huh?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'I wonder if you miss my presence? Or at the very least, you must miss smacking me with your smoke pipe, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'The Acadian Empire is truly as you had described. It is a land full of opportunities. I visited the beautiful city of Acryon when I arrived here. It was a sight to behold!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'I even met fatty's grandfather there. Would you believe it? He even wanted me to join the Tower of Daybreak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'It got to the point where I found it difficult to refuse. In the end, I took your name and got out of that situation. I hope you don't mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'The Twilight Brotherhood is even more mysterious than I thought. They gave me a mission to test my prowess, and I believe I passed with flying colors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'I burned down a whorehouse and liberated over a hundred innocent slaves!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'When they looked at me with eyes full of gratitude, I felt happy. My heart was full of deep emotions at the time. I felt that I used my powers for the good of others like you taught me to. I hope you're proud of me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'During my initiation ceremony, I almost didn't get inducted into the brotherhood. One of the Wardens presiding over the ceremony didn't like the brutal methods I used to get the job done.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'But thankfully, Lord Elrod was there to lend me a hand. Thanks for informing him beforehand about my arrival in Acryon. If it wasn't for him, I don't think I would have been able to become a member of the Brotherhood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'I am now studying at one of the Four Pillars of the Empire, Saratoga Castle. But something tells me you already know that. I decided to major in the School of Summoning. I believe this is the right path for me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'This castle is truly magical! It feels like a secret plane in and of itself. At one point, I used to think the castle was alive, but Professor Whitaker told me not to worry. At the very least, no one was invading my privacy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Speaking of Professor Whitaker, she greatly reminds me of you - always nagging! I'm sure if she had a smoking pipe, she'd smack me too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'But I know she means well. I can feel the warmth and genuine care from her. In her eyes, I see compassion, as well as hidden sadness. I guess, everyone has a story to tell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'This city, Ravenfell, is also very strange. It's full of ravens, yet I don't see bird shit anywhere! Can you believe it? It's almost as if the birds here are smart enough to take a dump beyond the city walls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'I also joined the Herbalist's Guild here. It goes without saying that all the old foggies here were amazed at my knowledge and skills regarding herbalism.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Also, let me give you another piece of good news. Earlier today, I received my first commission from a client! She's from a rich noble house in the city. It seems that her father is very sick.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'I brewed two potions for her and made almost a thousand gold pieces! Acadian Gold sure smells nice!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Although this client thinks I ripped her off, I'm certain that she'll come running back when she realizes how miraculous my potions truly are.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Recently, I have come to develop a great interest in rune magic. I tried to look for textbooks about it, but knowledge about it seems to be more esoteric than I had imagined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'I am going to look for related textbooks tomorrow at the Grand Library in Saratoga. If I don't find any, I'll contact the Brotherhood. If you have any leads on this, please let me know.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'I hope you are eating on time. Don't get buried in your laboratory all day, take some time out to relax. You're growing old and you need to take things easy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Also, if you meet Uncle Viktor and Aunty Elia, tell them I said hi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Please take care of your health. That stupid golem won't do as good a job as I used to in looking after you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'I miss you, old man. Know that I always have you in my heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Your student,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Adam.'\u003C\u002Fp>",1164,"2026-05-29T04:44:34.706Z","2026-06-01T04:29:10.544Z",1,"novelbin.me","ee4e589cf90e8d45d8e67fcd6b8a512ac3cdc078bb81f183c9f100404087835e","greatest-legacy-of-the-magus-universe-chapter-422","greatest-legacy-of-the-magus-universe-chapter-420",1765,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fgreatest-legacy-of-the-magus-universe-cover.jpg"]
