Chapter 160: Mr. Charles
The paper "The Function and Principles of Photographic Crystals" was published in the journal Nature and Magic, and the next day it was personally delivered by DuPont to the Magical Society, and the publication was sent in duplicate, one to the Magical Society, and the other to be sold in the kingdom.
Magic Society, Susie was lazily lying on her desk, with a lot of documents in front of her, but she seemed to have lost patience to deal with it, and when she saw her assistant Lottie push the door in, she shouted: "Lottie, Mr. Arnold has personally sent the Nature and Magic publication, and then I will trouble you to submit it to the censor." ”
Lottie, who came in with a book, was dissatisfied when she heard this, and complained with one hand on her waist: "It's me again? I'm going to send this document to Mr. Anthony, and Susie helps occasionally. ”
"I don't care, this issue of Nature and Magic is called what it's called... Harvey, yes, there's his paper in it. ”
"Mr. Adrian!? It's true? I told Mr. Adrian about it the day before yesterday, and I knew how it was possible to finish a paper so quickly. ”
Lottie's eyes lit up suddenly, and she didn't believe it, and she came over and picked up the information crystal on the table, and sure enough, she easily found the paper "The Function and Principle of Photographic Crystals", and Lottie's expression turned serious: "Ah, sure enough, there is the principle of photographic crystal production that Mr. Adrian said on the day of the phantom premiere, and even the basic magic array structure is explained in detail, and then there is a supporting paper." ”
"The phenomenon of visual persistence, is it the study of the human eye? Well, this should be classified as a human research category, and it's not right..."
"I see, Mr. Adrian's paper is really interesting······"
Susie didn't care about Lottie, who was muttering, stretched out a wand, recited a spell, and a green light suddenly came out of the wand and hit the document on the desktop, only to see that the shape of the document surrounded by green light gradually shrunk, turning into a cup of green liquid, she picked up the liquid and drank it all, stuck out her tongue and continued to lie on the desk and said lazily: "Go and come back quickly, I have memorized the contents of the document, and I will deal with it myself." ”
"Really? Then I'll go now. Lottie looked at her with suspicion, put away the information crystal that recorded the publication of Nature and Magic, and after thinking about it, she decided to take it back herself, the letter Harvey had given her the day before yesterday had already shown that Harvey was quite eager to learn about the art of constructing enlightenment.
Lottie changed into a traditional witch costume and took a flying broom to the teleportation channel of the Magic Society, a circular room with a radius of more than ten meters, the floor was paved with unknown light blue stone, carved with an intricate magic circle. She chanted the incantation, and the magic array on the ground bloomed with the chanting light and enveloped the entire room, and the dome space collapsed into a passage to the unknown space, and the vines composed of countless energies spread into the depths of the space.
Lottie sat on a flying broomstick and flew into the dome, and inside the passage was a strange space, with blue energy ripples rippling everywhere, and it was impossible to tell the direction, but fortunately, the vines made of those energies intertwined into a channel to show her the way.
"Ding!"
The automatic door opened, Lottie walked out of the passage, and in an instant it seemed to open the door to a new world, in front of her was a very spacious building hall, the marble light on the ground could almost reflect the exquisite pattern of the dome, dozens of pillars that required several people to hug each other were scattered around the hall to support the dome more than ten meters high, and the crowd of people who came and went were wearing robes or clothes with more ancient styles that belonged to the category of fancy clothes in the eyes of ordinary people, and what was even more surprising was that many pedestrians could not even be called humans.
Halflings, a humanoid race with a height of only about half of ordinary people, in addition to their height, there is not much difference between halflings and ordinary people, but halflings are generally impatient.
Gnolls, although they walk on their hind legs, retain the characteristics of jackals on their bodies and heads, as their bodies have a strong beastly smell and are not popular with humans.
The winged humans, a humanoid race with wings on their backs, are usually arrogant, possess more emotions than humans, and have talents unimaginable in the field of music.
There are also sea creatures that are simply transported in the tank, Lottie didn't take a few steps before she saw a worker pushing the tank past her, there was only a goldfish with a black top hat in the tank, and Lottie couldn't judge the true identity of the goldfish.
Lottie looked around and muttered in embarrassment, "Is this the 11th teleportation station, forget it, it's faster to transfer to the magic bus to get to the headquarters." ”
Behind Lottie were dozens of doors, opening and closing, and people were constantly coming in and out, and she had just come out of one of them.
······
"Knock~"
There was a strange sound from the metal pipe, and the parrot standing in front of the metal pipe was startled, spread its wings and flapped a few times, and hurriedly shouted at the top of its throat: "Mr. Charles! There are your letters! ”
"Mr. Charles! There are your letters! ”
"Mr. Charles! There are your letters! ”
"Charles first..."
"Bang!"
A blue streamer struck the parrot's body, and its body stiffened and turned into shiny metal, and it slammed into the wooden floor with a muffled thud.
"It's noisy! Stupid bird, sooner or later I'm going to send you to the table! And smear honey on your crispy body! Let you know the consequences of waking up a hangover old man! ”
It was a small, messy study, with books piled up in every corner, and the emaciated old man struggled out of the stacks, his robes tattered and tattered, and staggered to the metal pipe as he tore out his clothes. The metal was about the size of an arm's arm, and it was not connected to the outside, and it looked like a useless ornament, and when he opened the small pipe door, there was an extra finger-thick metal cylinder inside.
Twist the hat of the metal cylinder and press the switch, and an information crystal rises from the cylinder.
"Damn! The after-effects of the hangover are still there. He muttered, took the information crystal to the desk, first took out a bottle of potion from the drawer and drank it all, his ugly face eased before he put the information crystal on the display plate of the desk, and the information crystal automatically projected the content of the publication "Nature and Magic".
""Nature and Magic", why hasn't it been closed yet, hmm~ I remember that it was founded by the royal mage on the side of the Barron Kingdom, and the continent with weak magic has not published any valuable academic papers for so long." Charles glanced at the projected star and shook his head to himself.
"Nature and Magic" is an affiliated publication of the "Weekly Modern Magic" of the headquarters of the Magic Association, and to put it bluntly, it is a dispensable giveaway, in fact, "Nature and Magic" is a giveaway that belongs to the high-profile magic journal, and so far there are less than a few papers in "Nature and Magic" sent here that have reached the passing line.
"Huh~?"
"The Function and Principle of Photographic Crystals", this issue is basically the content of this magic treatise, how to make photographic crystals? This thing has been around for a long time in the Magic Society. Charles felt funny, didn't someone bring the magic knowledge of the Magic Society to that continent and then send it back through the "Nature and Magic" written into a paper?
He has encountered this kind of thing many times, and most of them are spellcasters with poor character and ability who use the research results of the Magic Association to deceive some areas where magic is more backward.
