Chapter 44 Knowledge is Money


Asking for a Sanjiang ticket, I am going to be caught up.

Mercury had already taken out the black corpse mushrooms he had brought, and they were packed in a simple jewelry box, there were three of them, one dark black and two light black, exuding a strong rancid smell: "Mr.

Professor, this is the black corpse mushroom you want, as long as you guide me on this elemental question, you can take them all." ” The black corpse mushroom is the material needed for a lot of magic and potions in the necromantic system, according to the records of the witch, she has participated in several magic gatherings in the family retreat, the black corpse mushroom is about ten silver narls, which is equivalent to the money that Lucian can save for a month without eating or drinking, and the darker the color, the more expensive, and even sometimes the price is just a symbol, because this kind of thing is not so easy to find unless you cultivate it yourself, and it is possible to sell it at a sky-high price if you encounter someone who urgently needs this mushroom.

Lucien took the jewelry box in front of him, judging from the color, breath, shape, etc., it was indeed a real black corpse mushroom, so he nodded slightly: "You ask." ” "Mr.

Professor, why does this article use the element to describe a new element determined by a new method in the Arcane Journal, isn't the basic element earth, fire, feng shui, and earth, fire, and feng shui?"

asked Mercury nervously with a little uneasiness and trembling, as if she herself knew that this question should be about the important difference between the ancient magic system and the current magic system, and it would subvert the elemental magic knowledge she had learned in the past.

Lucien shrunk his hands in the black robe, pondered for a while before slowly saying in a gloomy and hoarse voice: "Actually, I also learned ancient magic, but when I was studying, experimenting, and casting magic, I always felt a kind of incongruity, and I knew the conclusion, but I didn't know why it was this conclusion, so I would often think about this issue, and I had some scattered and isolated thoughts, until I saw this arcane journal just now, and saw these articles containing profound and vast truths, some of my thoughts gradually became clear, For example, the vine has found a large tree to cling to, such as the gravitational attraction mentioned in the first article, which is not because I have studied this aspect thoroughly, but this article just explains the answer to my thinking. ” "Therefore, I just told you only about the application of formulas, and did not talk about the relevant basic principles of magic, in addition to the fact that it will take you a few years or more than ten years to understand and master, but also because I myself barely understand it, and I have not studied it thoroughly."

Lucien gradually calmed down from the excitement of seeing the arcane journal and coming into contact with the magic circle, and realized that the official magician "Professor" who pretended to be mysterious just now was too involved, and there was a big problem, as a magician who was looking for the headquarters of the Continent Magic Council, he was able to understand and master the current magic system without any obstacles, knew gravity, and knew that earth, fire, feng shui were not elements, and there was a contradiction between the two.

Although these magic apprentices can't see it, and the ancient inheritance magicians who may exist behind them shouldn't be able to see it, and they won't be in danger for a long time, but if they are known by the arcanists and magicians from the headquarters of the Continent's Magic Council, and if they are known by the church that may have planted spies in the wizards' circle, they will definitely doubt their identity, so Lucien hurriedly made up for it before the matter spread, and shaped himself into the kind of genius magician who is keen and good at thinking.

"It seems that when I encounter something, I still can't calm down to an inhuman level, and I will be careless because of excitement, excitement and other emotions, killing people in the sewers, and facing dead corpses in a strong calm state, it should belong to the psychological preparation in advance, and the maturity brought by various experiences during this time, I have developed my own potential, from the body to the mind, I understand that I must not be nervous in the face of danger."

Lucien reflected on himself as he continued: "There are not many formulas for a new element determined by a new method, it is a standard result-based magic experiment, and I can only give a superficial view of the elemental theory mentioned in it, and you need to judge for yourself whether it is correct or not."

There was no restlessness or trembling in Mercury's sweet voice, and it could be seen that she was not much worse than Lucien in terms of concentration and calmness: "Okay, Mr.

Professor, in that case, let the other companions listen to it too, well, you can judge it too." ” This kind of problem of "mercury" producing magic materials for Lucien to explain and guide, if she is not willing to make it public, it will be a private communication, and the important part will even use "communication", but it seems that Mercury was a little apprehensive by Lucian's words, so she simply made it public to see what others understood.

After making up for the mistake just now, Lucien stopped talking nonsense and talked about the element: "In fact, since the ancient magicians did not find their imaginary four elemental planes in the inner layer of the material realm, although the vast majority of magicians think that it is a problem with the method of space folding, there are already a small number of magicians who doubt the correctness of earth, fire, feng shui as an element, I have been affected by this, since I learned magic, I feel that earth, fire, feng shui is not an element, but a higher level, more abstract four concepts. ” "I haven't studied what it is, but judging from this article, at least for now, the mainstream within magicians should be to redefine the elements and discover new ones."

The experiment in this article is to use a closed magic array with the nine-ring magic "Flame Storm" to bombard the magic material of the sun stone, after it produces a violent explosion, a pure, beautiful silver-gray crystal will appear, the hardness and flexibility are better than the mythril, and the relative mildness also exceeds the mythril, it is a brand new element, it is a precious material, because it is found from the sun stone, so it is named "too".

Lucien said as he judged the progress of the wizarding world in the elements from this article: "It should be that there is a definition of the element, and the discovery of new elements in addition to the regular elements has begun, but from the description of the nature and other aspects, there has not been anything about the regularity and prediction of the elements, but the nature of some elements is very different from the self-known elements on the earth, which leads to some magic will be beyond imagination." ” Listening to Lucien casually cite a few apprentice-level elemental magic and items and materials in daily life as evidence, after talking about the elemental issues of "earth, fire, feng shui", Mercury and the other magic apprentices were silent for a short time.

"Mr.

Professor, I, I think you're right, I've had a lot of problems in learning elemental magic, and if I explain it like this, it would be easy to solve, thank you very much" After a while, Mercury thanked Lucien with obvious emotion in his voice, and almost slipped his mouth.

The hanged man also said in a cold and strange voice: "Mr.

Professor, can you tell us more about the elements, whether the soul is also composed of some kind of strange element, although there is no resentful spirit dust in the magic materials and items I brought, I can let you choose another one." ” He seems to be focusing on the study of necromantic magic, but since there is no article on necromancy in this issue, he can only ask about elemental questions that may be related to necromancy.

Smail, the Sage, the White Glove, the White Honey and other apprentices finished Lucien's lecture on the elemental issue, and no longer had any doubts about his identity, but firmly believed that he was the most knowledgeable and powerful magician with the most thorough understanding of magic they had ever seen, although their research on elemental magic was not as good as mercury, but just the analysis of several apprentice-level elemental magic that Lucien used to corroborate made them refreshed, and it seemed that something was bursting out of their hearts, and after hearing the words of the hanged man, their eyes were blazing, He looked at Lucien expectantly.

Lucien shook his head: "I'm really not good at soul issues, so I can't explain it to you. ” As he spoke, Lucien took the three black corpse mushrooms into the small pocket he had specially brought, and at the same time pulled the small wooden box containing a set of magic experiment utensils given by the sage to his side: "Any of you who also brought black corpse mushrooms and resentful spirit dust can ask questions, or you can let me buy them with money and exchange them for magic materials." ” The water ghost brain tissue can be used for seven or eight experiments, and one experiment will consume a corpse mushroom, and Lucien will certainly collect a little more if he can.

"Under the control of the church, the black corpse mushroom cannot be cultivated, and some can only be found in the Melzer Black Forest, so it is very rare, except for mercury, no one else has it for the time being."

The sage, who seemed to be the leader of this magical circle, explained respectfully to Lucien in a slightly aged voice.

He also participated in the other two magic circles, but those official magicians were very arrogant, and they didn't really impress their objects, or their magic apprentices, they didn't want to be guided by them at all, so when he met this mysterious "professor" who was much more knowledgeable than those arrogant magicians and was willing to guide himself and other magic apprentices, the sage was grateful and admired from the bottom of his heart.

There is also a magic circle behind the white honey nodded and echoed the sage: "Mr.

Professor, if you need the black corpse mushroom for a long time, once I get it, I will keep it for you, but the dust of the resentful spirit is more difficult to find, the formation of the resentful spirit, either a unique environment, or a tragic encounter in front of the ghost or a strong emotion that cannot be put down, is easy to be discovered and purified by the church, as for the method of summoning the resentful spirit with the blood of evil creatures, I am afraid that the blood of evil creatures is more difficult to obtain than the dust of resentful spirits, after all, this is Aalto." ” "The black corpse mushroom was needed for a long time until my magic experiment was successful, and so was the resentful dust."

Lucien was a little disappointed, and thought that this time he could gather other items except for the Moonlight Rose, which was monopolized by the church and nobles, but this emotion was quickly resolved by Lucian, because this was only a circle of magic apprentices, "Okay, take out the magic materials you brought, if there is anything I need, I will be able to get a chance to ask questions, of course, the value of the questions depends on the value of the magic materials." ” There are really not many magical apprentices who can understand the journal of Arcane, and after Mercury has asked questions about the elements on behalf of himself and the magician behind him, the other apprentices can only ask Lucian about some small problems encountered in the analysis and construction of magic that they have accumulated in their daily lives, and they basically focus on the elemental and astrological magic that Lucian is good at.

As Lucien solved these problems one by one, they looked at Lucien with more and more respect, especially those who had a magic teacher behind them, or who had been instructed by a formal magician two or three times, because in the elaboration and solution of these questions, Lucian seemed to speak more clearly and thoroughly, which can only be done by mastering more profound and extensive knowledge, and in their hearts, knowledge is basically equivalent to strength.

Lucien, on the other hand, was very satisfied, and some knowledge that did not involve his own unique skills allowed him to get a set of magic vessels, three black corpse mushrooms, and most of the spell casting materials and magic array materials, which really fully embodied the truth of "knowledge equals money":
