On the thirty-third floor of the Magic Council Headquarters, in a small room, sunlight shines through the floor-to-ceiling glass windows, dyeing the neatly arranged tables, chairs and bookshelves with a faint golden luster, which further sets off the cleanliness and tidiness of the place.
After returning with Lucien and Tonpu, Fernando received a letter from an old friend, so he told them to wait for the other students to arrive, and then went into the cubicle to read the letter quietly.
"Mr.
Tang Pu, thank you for allowing me to enter the Douglas School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in the first place, otherwise the initial study and research will be trapped in materials and laboratories."
There was no one around, and in order to avoid the embarrassment of the dull atmosphere, Lucien started the topic with a sense of gratitude.
The middle-aged elegant gentleman-like Tang Pu pushed his gold-rimmed glasses, and said with a slight smile: "Don't thank you too much, any committee member will be curious to adjust your paper when they see that application, this is the instinct of the arcanist, and if you can get such an evaluation in the case of not long after you have been in contact with the arcane, as long as the committee member and you have no hatred in the past, they will agree to your application and ask the school to pay attention." ” "But Mr.
Tang Pu, you also recommended my thesis to the teacher."
Lucien looked at the room, which looked like both a study and a small conference room, and said a little puzzled, "I thought the teacher would take us to his half-plane magic tower to discuss." ” Tang Pu kept a smile: "According to the rules of the Supreme Council, the seven Grand Arcanists must always have one in Alinge, so they will rotate every five years after consultation.
By the way, we are all students of the teacher, so you don't need to be so polite, just call me Tang Pu.
In fact, your arcane level should have reached level five, which is not much different from my level six. ” His gaze swept over the arcane and magic insignia on Lucian's left chest, both of which hadn't had time to be updated, still rank four and three rings.
"The arcane level will probably be three or four months."
Lucien calculated in his heart that when he left, the arcane points were only more than eight hundred and fifty, and because of the time saved when he returned, the entire mission was just one year and one month, and according to the rate of the points feedback from papers and new magic citations every month was about ten, he should not have become a fifth-level arcanist now.
Tang Pu shook his head and found a chair to sit down at random: "The role and status of the periodic table in the field of elements I believe Lucian you know better than me, this year coincides with the vigorous development of the valence state of the atomic atom of the element, that is, the vigorous development of the valence state of the reaction of different elements, gradually maturing from the new, and the number of papers published is very large, and it is one of the manifestations of the periodic law of the element. ” "Judging by my memory of reading the papers, you should have had over a thousand Arcane Points a few months ago.
This made many arcanists quite jealous, and proposed to the Arcane Review Committee that the results of the basic caste of the periodic table should have a time limit like the basic knowledge of atomic weight data, formula constants, calculation formulas, and elementary alchemical reactions, otherwise the increase in arcane points would be unreasonable. ” In the middle of his sentence, Tang Pu deliberately stopped, as if intending to arouse Lucian's curiosity.
He is good at explosion, fire, and high-temperature type magic, and is a high-level magician in the field of heat and elements, but he has not joined any organization, and belongs to the pure council faction like the Storm Master, and is very optimistic about Lucien, a genius in the field of elemental magic, and is willing to make friends with another faction he is good at, the "Astral System", Lucien has not yet published any outstanding papers, and is widely regarded as a genius in the elemental field.
"Did the review committee agree," Lucien asked, following the meaning of Tang Pu, and at the same time happy for K, his current main research direction is to follow Larry into the field of atomic valence, and the vigorous development of this area shows that he has gained a lot.
Tang Pu said with a smile: "How can the review committee agree, with the increase in the number of references to the periodic table in the study of each direction of elemental magic, the latecomers only need to cite their papers, unless they plan to elaborate systematically, and after these two years have passed, Lucian's feedback on the arcane points you have gained from the periodic table will decrease rapidly, and tend to slow and stabilize." ” "That's good."
Lucien made up his mind to "revise" the periodic table every once in a while, so that the direct citations would increase again, anyway, due to the limitations of the current research results, the previous periodic table was deliberately left or had to leave a lot of problems, such as rare gases, because of the limitations of his magic level and laboratory conditions, it was difficult to separate, and now everything is different.
The two were not very familiar with each other, and due to the difference in arcane and magical levels, they were in different circles, so the topic gradually shifted to the current atomic valence state, which is the hottest in the elemental field.
Not long after the exchange, with the knock on the door, a young and medium-sized man walked in, his face was unusually thin, so that his cheekbones bulged, his light blue eyes were like the summer sky, clean and transparent with a faint melancholy, the whole looked like a poet more than a magician, but the badge on the chest of his gray suit was impossible to underestimate, an arcane badge with seven silver stars on a black background, a magic badge with a silver background with seven black rings, and an arcane audit committee badge with a quill pattern in one hand, and a medal with countless ice crystal patterns painted on it.
"Lucien, this is Chloe, another student of the teacher, a member of the Arcane Review Committee, an authority on the motion of thermokinetic molecules, and is currently trying to study the second law at a deeper level, with knowledge of probability and statistics."
Tang Pu introduced Lucien.
The Second Law of Thermodynamics was summarized by Fernando and others in order to refute a concept in the development of the Magical Council, and with the discarding of the "heat mass theory" and the close correlation between heat and energy, magicians realized that when the temperature of an object decreases, heat is released, because many people believe that they can maintain the permanent operation of the magic circle by drawing heat energy from the endless sea, but their idea has failed.
Then he said to Chloe: "Chloe, this is Lucien Evans, who has just studied with the teacher, and the winner of the Holm Crown Award. ” Chloe's fleshless cheeks pulled into a faint smile, "Hello, Evans." ” He didn't say much, and after the summons, he sat quietly aside, as if caught in his own world, completely oblivious to the fact that there was anyone else in the room.
Not long after, two more high-ranking magicians of the Seven Rings arrived, according to Tang Pu, the woman was Asikana and the man was Lechkat, both of whom maintained their appearance in view of their youth and maturity, but their achievements in arcane arts were much smaller than Chloe's.
Lucien had just called them, and before they could talk, there was a rapid knock on the door, which seemed to be a bit impolite, Tang Pu and the others all shook their heads with a smile, got up and opened the door.
A dragon with beautiful transparent scale armor appeared in front of Lucian's eyes, and this was the first time Lucian had seen a dragon standing on the top of a chain of magical creatures face to face.
The dragon glanced at Lucien with the same curiosity, and then said in a childlike voice, "I know you, you are the magician with a beautiful ring" It stared at the Holm crown ring "elemental" on Lucian's right index finger with a blazing gaze, and couldn't take its eyes off it for a long time: "Can you give it to me, I can sign a contract for selling myself for a hundred years" "Averies, stop messing around."
Tang Pu reluctantly scolded it, turned to Lucien and said, "It has already sold itself once, and it is useless to sell it again." ” Lucien was taken aback by Averes's directness, and only quietly breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Tang Pu's words, where did this dragon come from Afrith reluctantly withdrew his gaze, a glimmer of light on his body, quickly becoming smaller, and paced in like a giant wolfdog.
"Lucian, it's a crystal dragon, hatched from a dragon egg that the teacher picked up more than fifty years ago, and has been learning magic with the teacher and us, and has an outstanding talent in the arcane, much stronger than its compatriots who need to be in the prime of life to enter the high ranks, but due to the failure of a previous magic experiment, Afrith has suffered a serious curse, unable to grow up, unable to transform into other forms, and it will take about a hundred years to eliminate."
Tonpu introduces Lucien to the dragon, which is both Fernando's pet and his student.
The short-haired, green-eyed Lehi saw that Afrith had been walking around Lucien, ignoring the beautiful Holm crown ring, so he smiled and diverted his attention: "Averies, what have you been doing lately?"
"Ah, lately," Afrith said "nonchalantly," "I've been sleeping in a lazy sleep lately, and I've been doing nothing." ” Tang Pu directly revealed its bottom: "Hehe, it sold itself because of greed for money, and it has been being studied recently." ” Afrith brought the atmosphere alive and lively, and the time passed quickly, and Fernando stepped out of the cubicle.
Seeing him, both Tang Pu and Afrith suddenly became serious, and the discussion room suddenly fell silent.
Fernando sat casually on one of several chairs, put away all the lewd humor, and said very solemnly: "As is customary, we hold such a regular meeting every month to share the progress of our research and bring up the difficult problems we encounter to discuss.
He said this to Lucian.
"Today I'm going to read a letter from an old friend I just received, so that you can know how arcane and magic are currently developing in the minds of other arcanists."
"This letter comes from the Silver Moon Medal, Ice and Snow Medal winner, member of the Arcane Review Committee, and Archmage Viscount Roland."
Viscount Roland was a nobleman of the Kingdom of Briana and lived in the country for a long time.
Fernando took out the letter and read it selectively: "With the establishment of the classical theory of the electromagnetic system of Lord Brooke, and gradually improved and extended to other aspects, the entire arcane system should be said to be basically complete, that is, with the theories of His Excellency Speaker Douglas and Lord Brooke as the sun and the silver moon respectively, a highly mature, perfect, and wonderful arcane world. ” "In this world, everything is governed by laws, strict laws, intoxicating laws" "Although there are still many laws that have not yet been discovered, summarized and applied, and there are many phenomena that have not yet been reasonably explained, and the laws behind them and the reasons for the formation of the laws have not yet been understood, I think that their results will only be a reasonable supplement to this arcane world, perhaps pioneering, transforming, and even changing the times, but they can also be attributed to these two systems, and this wonderful world will not be an exception."
