Throne of Magical Arcana

Since the "Crown of the Sun" has only released a layer of seal, the aura of the Necromancer world that can be sensed by it must be strong enough, and the distance must be very close. This means that there is a terrifying undead creature hidden beside Lucien, the kind of powerful undead that can kill low-level magicians with one blow!

But in Lucien's sense of spiritual power, there was nothing weird about the whole study, and no matter from any angle, he was the only one.

In the winter afternoon, the sun was warm and shone warmly on Lucien's body, but Lucien didn't feel warm, but a biting chill rose up, making his hair stand on end.

Resisting his fear and awe, Lucien calmly picked up a card and "read carefully" the elemental properties of the summary above.

The scorching heat of the crown of the sun became more and more intense. Lucien looked at the cards in his hand, and an inexplicable picture suddenly appeared in his heart: right next to his cheek, right next to his head, there was a transparent and clear pale head. He opened his eyes wide and shone with a strange red light, and read the elemental cards seriously with himself, while there was only his concentrated figure in the mirror opposite.

"Was the Pale Hand sent to spy on me?"

"They don't seem to have connected me with the professor, otherwise it wouldn't be as simple as monitoring..."

While his thoughts were churning, Lucien looked at the elemental cards one by one. Like all studious beginners, he tirelessly memorized, understood and mastered the various properties of different elements. Author: "I must write an arcane research paper as soon as possible..."

The afternoon passed quickly. Lucien put down the cards and walked out of the study. The scorching heat of the "Crown of the Sun" had turned into a vague warmth, which meant that the powerful undead was slightly away from him, but he did not really leave. .

"Sure enough, it's just surveillance." Lucien relaxed a little. As long as he didn't show any abnormalities and lived a normal life according to the pattern of the past week, there would be nothing worthy of suspicion, but this didn't make Lucien completely relax. People know how long the pale hand's patience can last, and whether to leave or use other means if no abnormality is found.

…………

After dinner, Lucien came to the magic experiment tower as usual.

As soon as he stepped into the tower, the warmth of the "Crown of the Sun" completely disappeared and returned to normal.

"It seems that this magic tower is equipped with a strong protective magic circle, so that the undead who are watching me dare not come in." Lucien was half surprised and half happy to find this out. Being watched anytime and anywhere would make people collapse.

At this time K came in, and after seeing Lucien, he said slightly joyfully: "Lucien, I thought you were not in the mood to do magic experiments today. You are more tenacious than I imagined."

"I'm not someone who gives up on myself when I'm hit." Lucien smiled, and then walked side by side with K, "By the way, K, what is the paper you published in the journal "Element"? I was hit today , suddenly fell into the joy of being quoted by His Excellency the Grand Arcanist, and even forgot to read the "Element" journal."

K scratched the back of his head in embarrassment: "It's about magic potions and alchemy reactions where elements are always combined with a fixed number of other molecules, which is what Mr. Larry said about atomic valence."

"This is the basic question of elemental magic. No wonder you are valued by Mr. Larry K. I'm going to look for it later and read it. It's suitable for my recent magic experiment of mastering the properties of elements." Lucien praised with a smile.

K became more and more embarrassed, smiled, and said nothing.

At this time, a few people on the third floor of the magic tower passed by the stairs and happened to see Lucien and K.

"Mr. K, Mr. Evans, good evening." It was an ordinary young man with black hair and black pupils who spoke, with a smile that was not a smile on his silent and honest face.

K urn said softly, "Good evening, Beat."

After politely responding, he continued to walk towards the stairs leading to the fourth floor without looking at Beata and his companions.

Lucien nodded politely and coldly, and followed K to the next step without saying anything.

"It seems that Mr. Evans, you haven't really reflected on your mistakes." Seeing Lucien's performance, Beate laughed and said, "You still hold grudges against us."

K turned around suddenly, with anger in his thick voice: "Beate, I know that Lucien's teaching style does violate the school rules, but why don't you advise him a few words first? If he doesn't want to correct it, then go and complain It's not too late. Are you so narrow-minded?"

"Hey, well-recognized honest and good people sometimes get angry." Benoit, Beate's companion, who is good at electromagnetism and astrology, said exaggeratedly, and then his slender face became serious, "This is a serious violation of school rules and a long-standing tradition. How can we cover up and persuade in private? Only by punishing Mr. Evans can he learn a lesson and remember it firmly."

Just as Lucien was about to speak, Beate looked at K with a smile: "Violation of school rules is not a big deal, the development of electromagnetic waves is the most important thing now. K, if you still insist on the theory of spiritual particles and insist that atoms constitute the world Basics, you can’t change the concept of arcane magic, I’m worried that one day when you meditate, your head will explode suddenly. Ha, we are going to understand the application of electromagnetic waves according to the magic experiment of the storm master, so I don’t want to disturb you and continue to study the elements~”

The ending sound was drawn out, and he who was usually taciturn was so high-spirited, and the few companions around him were similar.

Lucien watched them turn and walk away angrily, and at the same time asked in puzzlement, "K, why does your head explode suddenly when you meditate?"

As a guy who still lacks a lot of magic knowledge, Lucien can only ask K beside him.

K was not very angry at Beate's sarcasm, and his thick voice echoed in the stairwell: "This comes from the discussion of meditation by Your Excellency the Speaker. It has not been included in the arcane basic book because it has no definite theoretical basis. So you don’t know for the time being. He believes that the meditation environment is the manifestation of his own cognition of the essence of the world, and there is a meditation environment for whatever concepts and knowledge you have.”

Lucien nodded secretly without interjecting. It seems that he is not the only one who feels this way. Mr. Douglas, who laid the foundation of arcane arts, also thinks so.

"In addition to more than a dozen meditation methods that are generally applicable, different meditation environments correspond to different meditation methods. If the meditation environment conflicts with the meditation method, or if you continue to meditate when the meditation environment is unstable, there will be a danger of mental explosion , may damage the soul and brain structure, or directly blow up the head."

"Thus, when a subversive theory appears, if a magician cannot accept it, master it, and adjust his cognition based on it, then the meditation environment will not change. And a magician or an intelligent creature, if he understands the world 1. The concept of magic cognition has been established, and it is difficult to be changed by external forces. Therefore, magicians who cannot accept subversive new theories often occupy the majority. For example, in the "Arcane" journal this time, Your Excellency the Speaker once again wrote an article using Those magical experiments denied the claim that mental power is electromagnetic waves."

"But if the correctness of this theory is unquestionable, and even the unacceptable magicians themselves cannot deny it, their concept of the world and magic will completely collapse, their cognition will fall into extremely chaotic contradictions, and the meditation environment will change. It is very unstable, and if it is mild, it will stagnate from now on. In severe cases, the soul may be injured, or even die directly. Only some excellent magicians can rebuild their own cognitive world and step on the right path. "

"In addition, the blow to confidence cannot be ignored, and it will also affect the efficiency of meditation."

The more Lucien heard it, the more frightened he was. No wonder Felipe was so excited when he faced the synthetic urea at the feast of death. He thought he was arrogant. To what extent! Fortunately, urea is not decisive, neither in this world nor on the earth can completely deny the theory of human life mechanics, coupled with the deterrent of the reputation of the church's purification sequence, I escaped with great danger.

"According to rumors, Felipe's concentration on research should be one of the foundations of the necromancer faction that tends to overthrow the theory of human life mechanics. He is worthy of being one of the most outstanding magicians of this generation. He can accept this concept so quickly. .It's just that he seems to want to get a decisive result before the 'professor' - to overthrow by the enemy or by his own people will be the difference between heaven and hell in the follow-up guidance of the pale hand magician's cognition .”

Lucien guessed based on what he knew, "The pale hand probably attaches great importance to the professor, no wonder it sent such a powerful undead to watch me."

Not noticing Lucien's strangeness, K continued: "However, all the current subversive theories are full of controversy and cannot completely destroy the cognitive world of magicians. The supplement to the system, so the performance in this aspect is not obvious."

"However, in the past several major debates, such as when electromagnetic induction was confirmed, such as when the existence of gravity was confirmed, many high-level and middle-level magicians could not accept that their inherent concepts were destroyed and died, so they failed to achieve the required level. There are even more magicians of this level. It is said that after light was proved to be an electromagnetic wave some time ago, several priests in the Kingdom of Holm were swallowed up by the holy light in their bodies while praying. These things indirectly prove your Excellency the Speaker’s discussion of meditation. correct."

"Of course, there are also many powerful magicians who can grow up by accepting and researching and mastering new knowledge."

"Every great development of arcane and magic is accompanied by such tragicomedies, accompanied by magnificent and tragic debates."

Lucien nodded subconsciously, with a dignified expression. In a world where a meditation environment can be constructed from cognitive concepts, such a situation is normal. The reason why I can easily change the meditation environment is probably because the changed meditation environment is my fundamental cognition, but I need to verify its correctness first.

"So after the ancient inheritance magicians came to the council, the council's most important thing was to change their concepts, accept arcane arts, and through the task of teaching apprentices, let two people grow at the same time. But even so, they failed to change their cognition, and thus stagnated There are also the majority of magicians who inherited ancient traditions before, but there are only a few of you like Lucien who can quickly accept arcane arts and verify them with your own hands." K praised Lucien, "This is different from your innate ability to think like an arcanist. not open."

…………

For the next month, Lucien lived in an orderly manner under the watchful eyes of the dead, and completed the verification of the nature of the elements. However, he did not arrange element cards in the study room, but completed them in the magic laboratory and the soul library.

Then, Lucien began to write a thesis titled:

"On the periodic relationship between element properties and atomic weight and the prediction of some new elements".
