Chương 61: Chapter 61: The Council of Innovator

The grand hall of the palace, once a place of opulence and celebration, had been repurposed for a new and vital mission. The tapestries that once adorned the walls were gone, replaced by maps, schematics, and magical diagrams. In place of feasting tables were workbenches strewn with blueprints and arcane artifacts. This was now the nerve center of Lucian's latest initiative—the Council of Innovators.

Lucian stood at the head of the hall, his gaze sweeping over the gathered assembly. The council was a diverse group, comprising scholars with ink-stained fingers, engineers with tools hanging from their belts, and mages whose eyes gleamed with the knowledge of ancient and arcane secrets. Each of them had been handpicked for their brilliance and potential to contribute to the empire's renewal. Together, they would be the architects of a new era.
