Throne of Magical Arcana

After Lazar and the others left, the bustling hall suddenly became deserted. Lucien ordered Leo to close the door and open the protective magic circle, and he returned to the study to start writing his thesis.

The night was peaceful, and Allinge at high altitude was especially quiet and empty. In such a peaceful and far-reaching atmosphere, Lucien's thinking became clear, and he wrote the title on the non-magically treated ordinary white paper: "The Human Body's Self-Generated Electricity and the Brain Experiments with Emanating Specific Electromagnetic Waves and Their Application to Illusions".

There is very little information on brainwaves in the soul library. It should be said that the earth is still at a shallow level in similar research. Lucien had to enrich the paper through the analysis and feedback of several illusions to improve the reliability of the paper. , belongs to the type that has direction and conclusion to find evidence.

Therefore, it was very difficult for Lucien to write this paper. If the previous papers were to modify the papers on the earth by combining different and specific experiments in the magical world, then this paper belongs to collecting information, doing experiments by yourself, and doing it yourself. The semi-original results of the demonstration have been achieved, and it took two or three hours to sort out the general content after deleting, deleting, and modifying.

With a light breath, Lucien did not directly write the sorted out content into a well-formatted thesis, but put away the paper and prepared to bring it to the teacher Fernando for evaluation in the morning, and then revise it according to his opinion—since he has a Teacher Grand Arcanist, you must not waste "resources" in vain.

After closing his eyes and enjoying the coolness of the night breeze for a few minutes and the tranquility of "everyone sleeps and I wake alone" and "independence" at night, Lucien took out a stack of white paper again, picked up the magic quill and wrote "Atomic Institute" application.

The writing of this application caused Lucien a lot of headaches, because any specific research direction may expose his astonishing views on the atom issue—atoms are not the most basic matter that cannot be divided, it has a magical internal structure! Several research directions that do not expose this point of view seem to have nothing to do with atoms, and are closer to the content of discharge and magnetic fields. It is definitely not possible to apply in the name of the Institute of Atomic Research. It is really a dilemma.

Therefore, Lucien had to expound in a large and general manner the significance, purpose, and general direction of research of the establishment of the "Atomic Research Institute".

When he re-read the application after finishing it, Lucien sighed sincerely: "Cheating funds is not so easy to cheat. If the application of the 'Atomic Institute' cannot be passed, then switch to other specific research directions. Do not use the name of 'Atomic Research Institute'. It's just that the research of each project is short-term and cannot be maintained for a long time."

As a person who has great interest and ambition in defrauding funds, Lucien has broken away from the vulgarity and vulgarity of ordinary arcanists, and wants to establish a long-standing fund defrauding organization, which will not only save a lot of energy, but also My own expenses on experiments will be minimized, and the income from the "Mineral and Harvest Company" will be accumulated to prepare for the future--as we all know, whether it is the magic ceremony for promotion to a higher level, or the magic tower after a higher level Construction, refining and purchasing of magic items, and ceremonies that are constructed with all kinds of wonderful magic are all things that cost money like water.

"Show the teacher the application of the Atomic Research Institute. If you can get his support, things will be much easier. If necessary, you can reveal some real research ideas..." Lucien thought with burning eyes, Although it is more likely to usher in rants and criticisms, in order to cheat funds, I can only bite the bullet and try!

After a while, Lucien regained his composure and began to analyze the selected five-ring magic "Fernando's Lightning Furnace".

Because he did not expect his soul and mental power to reach the fifth-ring standard so quickly, Lucien has never tried to analyze the fifth-ring magic, and even a large part of the third-ring and fourth-ring magic has not yet been started, so he has Don't focus most of your energy on this for the time being, first raise the magic level and then turn to master other low-level magic.

…………

The next day, Lucien arrived at the headquarters of the Magic Council early.

"Good morning, Mr. Evans." Tarling Prospell greeted warmly with two big black eyes on the door.

Lucien replied politely: "Good morning, Prospell, how are you doing recently? I forgot to say hello to you yesterday."

"It's still the same. I have to tolerate magicians coming in and out of my body every day. Yesterday, hehe..." Prosper absolutely refused to admit that he dared not appear in front of the Storm Lord, "Mr. Evans, I heard Are you approaching the fifth ring? I like magicians who can advance so quickly. When you become a high-level magician and start building magic towers, don’t forget our agreement. A female tower spirit is gentle, patient, and meticulous. Much better than mine!"

When did we have an agreement... Lucien casually said a few words to the enthusiastic Prospell, tightened his neckline, and quickly stepped into the magic tower.

It was still early, and the parliament headquarters was deserted. Lucien arrived at Fernando's study on the 33rd floor without meeting anyone.

Storm Master Fernando was still wearing his favorite bright red ancient style robe, sitting behind the desk reading letters.

"Lucien, if there is nothing else, help me read these letters first, and then write a reply according to my dictation. After finishing all this, we will go to the laboratory to measure the thermal radiation data of different substances at different temperatures." Fernando did not Praise Lucien for being active and arriving early, and give orders directly.

Lucien quickly replied: "Teacher, I roughly wrote the thesis last night, please guide me."

"The efficiency is not slow." Fernando nodded, took the blank paper in Lucien's hand, and didn't just read it perfunctorily just because it was an intermediate magician's thesis, but read it carefully and used it from time to time. Magic verification.

Seeing Fernando's brows slowly wrinkled, Lucien suddenly felt terrified.

"The logical relationship is vague and far-fetched. How can you convince the review committee with a paper like yours?!"

The expected fault finally appeared. Luckily, it wasn't a roar, so Lucien hurriedly pretended to be listening.

After almost criticizing Lucien's thesis from beginning to end, and making Lucien feel that the thesis was "worthless", Fernando lowered his slightly high-pitched voice and nodded slightly: "Of course, compared to most Some arcanists are either rigid or inflexible, or have amazing errors. Your paper is quite interesting, with both groundbreaking and breakthroughs, and there are not many omissions. After correcting the mistakes just now or sorting out the logical order, submit it to The review committee. By the way, don't add the teacher's name to the paper like other magician disciples, I don't want my name to appear on this kind of imprecise paper."

"Yes, teacher." Lucien quietly wiped off the non-existent sweat. Although Fernando didn't rant just now, the many loopholes pointed out sharply still made him break out in a psychological cold sweat. There was an illusion of being hit by a violent storm. Why didn't he find these mistakes during his own review? The first semi-original paper was indeed full of problems.

Seeing that Fernando was about to pick up the letter again, Lucien hurriedly said: "Teacher, I plan to apply for an arcane research project, please take a look."

"Arcane research project, can you allocate enough energy?" Fernando took the application, asked casually, and then said a little funny, "Atomic Research Institute? This is really a big research project. Well, 'the main research institute The direction is to study the relationship between the periodic law of elements and atoms, to explore why different element atoms exhibit various properties besides the difference in atomic weight and volume, and to try to integrate elements with magic, electromagnetic, light and dark at the atomic level... Generally speaking, in order to promote the development of elemental magic and the improvement of the arcane system, we hereby apply for the establishment of this research institute, and hope the committee approves it..."

Fernando read Lucien's application report word by word. Facing this obviously "unserious" thing, he did not treat it with the rigorous attitude of arcane and magic research, and showed a humorous smile on his face: "Need a large and complete high-level laboratory? Need so many rare Materials? Need a large amount of subsidy for arcane points? Young man, this is not the way to cheat arcane research funds. This kind of high-sounding, large and vague application is definitely impossible for the Magic Research Committee to approve, and your ambition is still very big. It seems that you intend to Will the 'Atomic Research Institute' be maintained for a long time?"

"Actually, if you just apply for a little support and have a specific research project, the Magic Research Committee may pass it for my sake."

Lucien organized a long-planned speech: "Teacher, I feel that the current parliament has a certain degree of short-sightedness in the approval of arcane research projects. The development of arcane arts is changing with each passing day, and many new fields have emerged. They are broad and vague. It is difficult to propose specific research directions at the beginning, but we cannot give up on their research, nor can we only rely on the private research of high-level arcanists. We need the council to give more resources and let more arcanists invest in it. these areas."

"The Atomic Research Institute is a beneficial attempt. After the discovery of the periodic law of elements, I believe that more and more arcanists have realized that there is still a long way to go in the study of atoms."

When speaking, Lucien's expression was solemn and compassionate.

"Why do I have the feeling of participating in the House of Lords and the Municipal Council..." Fernando laughed, piercing Lucien's "intent", and then said with a smile on his face: "Lucien, tell me about your knowledge of atoms Well, if you want me to support you, you must at least show your qualifications worthy of support."

Sure enough, acting skills can't fool this kind of old monster, and he directly pointed out the core of the problem. It seems that he has to throw out something dry. After the periodic law, I was thinking about the meaning behind the law, but I couldn’t find the direction to break through. Later, by chance, I suddenly thought, why do atoms of different elements have different properties? "

With a smile on his face, Fernando listened quietly without interrupting.

Lucien continued: "As the most basic component of matter, according to simple philosophical viewpoints and arcane theories, atoms should be very similar and very simple, with at most a few different properties. Different compositional forms make up a variety of colorful substances. But now, atoms show a variety of alchemical and force field properties, which violates the idea that the basic composition should be concise and limited in variety."

"So, if we want to continue our research, shouldn't we temporarily abandon the deep-rooted cognition brought to us by "Atomic Theory?"

"Atoms may not be the most basic components of matter!"
