Seeing Mr. Evans' serious appearance, Annick, Reilia, and Heidi all nodded ignorantly. The learning and casting of apprentice-level magic requires repeated analysis and practice, they have experienced it firsthand, and now it seems that the learning of arcane basics is the same.

"Mr. Evans, the first time you come into contact with these arcane books, we won't bother you with your studies. When you understand something, we'll ask you again. Annick stood up and said politely, "It's just the right time for us to meditate and learn magic. ”

Lucien has no problem teaching them now, but a magician who has never been exposed to arcane can reach the level of instructing others after reading the basic books of arcane and magic, which is really incredible, even the legendary grand arcanist can't do it, so it is prudent, Lucian smiled kindly: "Probably tomorrow by this time, I can guide you." "And I have a special gift for you.

"Tomorrow?, Mr. Evans, do you think these arcane books are easy?" asked Reilia in surprise.

Lucien pondered his words, "I'll teach you what I've seen today." It's like this for the rest of the year, and I teach while learning. Hehe, it can also give me the pressure to study. ”

"Then we'll thank you, Mr. Evans. Heidi replied cheerfully, she had a hard time reading the books by herself anyway, so she wasn't at all worried that Mr. Evans would delay her arcane studies, and thanked Annick and Reilia on her own.

Watching the three apprentices return to their respective rooms to meditate, while the other apprentices divided into two small groups to discuss, Lucien finally felt that his surroundings were peaceful and there was a good atmosphere for learning, so he leisurely leaned back on the sofa and took out an arcane book left by Heidi and read it:

"The Mathematical Principles of the Philosophy of Magic, hey. It's very similar to the name of Sir Newton's work. Lucien's eyes lit up, and he had just flipped through the pages and ignored the book. "Hehe, and judging from the table of contents, it also talks about 'force', and it also uses calculus. It is also a bold assumption and rigorously proven. However, the examples it gives above seem to be the need to combine magic, such as the problem of astral magic. ”

Finish reading the table of contents. Lucien looked back at the preface: "...... At the end of all the study of magic, it will eventually boil down to finding answers to some abstract questions, such as: What is 'I', what is 'the world'? How did the 'world' come into being, and how did it become the beautiful 'system' that we observe? What is the relationship between 'me' and 'world'? Therefore, I added the word philosophy to the end of magic as the title of this book. ”

“...... We explore the worldly realm, and strive to summarize laws from phenomena, which can then be used to deduce other phenomena and to explain, construct and create magical ......"

"Your friend Douglas"

"It turned out to be the work of Mr. Douglas, the Grand Arcanist. Belch. The preface and content of Sir Newton's are different. Lucien was not surprised by the emergence of calculus, not to mention that the Arcane journal that he had seen at the Aalto Magic Gathering mentioned that the large number of irregular lines and surfaces in the spell model from the middle level alone meant that there would definitely be pioneers looking for accurate mathematical methods for calculation. Especially after the principles of magic were named Arcane.

Lucien began to look at the arcane book seriously, and a quill on the round table in front of him flew up, writing and drawing on the white paper without holding it, verifying the deduction inside.

Compared with the book with a similar name on Earth, the mathematical method of "Mathematical Principles of Philosophy of Magic" seems to be more systematic and systematic, and the definitions of various symbols and concepts are quite clear and accurate, making it easier for Lucien to read.

Time flew by until the light from the window dimmed and Lucien realized that he had forgotten to eat his lunch, because this arcane masterpiece also bridged the connection between the laws of the world, mathematics and magic, so that much of Lucian's knowledge could finally be connected to magic.

"If it weren't for the lack of soul strength, after a few days of reading this book, as well as "The Mapping of the Principle of Magic to the Model Construction Process" and "The Symbolic Meaning of the Construction Figure", I would be able to start analyzing and constructing the spell model of the second, or even third-ring magic. I wish I could get the better meditation method that Felipe said he had used to be used by high-ranking magicians!" Lucien thought regretfully, then stretched out and got up from the couch.

"Good evening, Mr. Evans. The apprentices in the living room, such as Sprint and Katrina, greeted Lucien in awe when they saw Lucien sober from his studies, whether he had no arcane foundation and was worth following and learning, but the status of a formal magician was worthy of this attitude.

A flame erupted from Lucian's hand and burned the manuscript paper that had just been deduced and analyzed, and nodded, "Where is the dinner?"

"Ground floor restaurant. Katrina replied respectfully, that Mr. Evans had been studying incessantly for almost a day, and had used so much blank paper to calculate, that such effort and seriousness alone deserved respect. He should be as diligent and assiduous as he is, and become a full-fledged magician as soon as possible, so that he can help his parents get out of the situation that has plagued him for a long time.

............

In the restaurant.

"Evans, I've heard of your seriousness and diligence, and it's no wonder that studying ancient magic is also able to become a full-fledged magician before the age of twenty. If you have a decent level of shadow and light after becoming a mid-level magician, I would consider asking you to be one of my assistants. Astar expressed the praise of the elders on the magical path, and as for the latter sentence, it was only a form of praise incidentally, not a real promise. Not to mention the difficulty of becoming a mid-level magician, the study of shadows and light can also make him feel that the level of a mid-level magician is good, and the entire magic council can be counted on one hand.

Next to him, Mersidis crouched at the table with her tail held high and a white napkin tied under her fluffy neck, was wrestling fiercely with a fried fish, meowing from time to time and rubbing Astar with her tail.

Lucien smiled, "Thank you for your compliment, Mr. Astar, I have just come into contact with the arcane, and I can only make up for the lack of time with diligence and assiduity." ”

"Your attitude is really satisfying, but," Astar's words changed, "Evans, don't study blindly. The mathematical principles of the philosophy of magic and calculus are only required to be learned by formal magicians, hehe, I mean full-fledged magicians with arcane ranks. What you need to read right now are other arcane and magic basics. Then add a copy of the Encyclopedia of Magical Creatures. ”

"Actually, I've already learned most of the Mathematical Principles of Philosophy of Magic today......" Lucien replied silently, then nodded, "I'll start reading Fundamentals of Magical Geometry and Common Algebra Problems in the evening." He also made some "preparations" for tomorrow to instruct the three apprentices.

Inside the Library of the Soul. The two books were turned page by page, and Lucien looked at them roughly, adding his previous impressions. I was sure that it was a book that included Euclidean geometry, analytic geometry, and equations, and I thought to myself, "Euclidean geometry is called tower geometry here, and the fifth derivation that gives rise to non-Euclidean geometry is exactly the same, and it really feels like being on earth." However, there are also many strange places, such as the soul, such as spiritual power. For example, the stars that cannot be found, such as the different 'tai' elements, is there a difference somewhere between the micro level and the macro level?"

The latest issue of the Arcane journal Lucien has certainly been included in the Soul Library, and most of the thirty articles are about the application of complex variable functions in various fields, such as the study of the interception of the psychic sphere into plane fields. A small number of articles are about the discovery of new elements by spectral analysis, and it can be seen that they are the latest research hotspots.

This kind of question involving the deepest mysteries of the world world could not be explored at the level of Lucien for the time being, so he could only suppress it for the time being, and asked Astar: "Mr. Astar, I wonder if you can teach me the meditation method that the council will definitely grant me in advance?"

"It's just a restriction on the council to prevent you from directing your magical apprentices, and when the time comes, a magical contract will be signed. Astar laughed, "But for high-level mages, there's nothing wrong with disobeying appropriately. However, you need to show potential that is worth my investment, hehe, I've been at Stewark for a long time, and I'm a bit used to using their business language. ”

Lucien was accustomed to such negotiations: "And Mr. Astar, what potential do you need to see?"

"You have not been an adult for long to become a full-fledged magician, and I am very satisfied with your mental talent, if you have shown good potential in your own arcane learning or teaching in the past few days, I will give you Brooke meditation in advance. Astar put down his knife and fork, and kept a gentle smile

Brooke seemed to be a Grand Arcanist, and Lucien replied with a smile as he thought, "After reading the Mathematical Principles of the Philosophy of Magic for an afternoon, I still think I am still very talented in Arcane. ”

"I hope so. Astar nodded slightly.

............

Ten o'clock in the morning the next day, Lucien's room.

"Have you all figured out the derivation of these axioms?" Lucien looked up and smiled at the three-and-a-half-grown children.

Annick nodded heavily: "Mr. Evans, you have explained it so well, that the axioms that I had seen dizzily before now fully understand their meaning, and are connected to the construction of figures. ”

"Me too. Mr. Evans, it's hard to imagine that you only came into contact with the arcane yesterday. Reilia looked adoring, and spoke so thoroughly about what seemed profound, that she thought Mr. Evans was wonderful.

"Mr. Evans, I see, you're wonderful!" said Heidi aloud the unspoken compliment.

Lucien bowed his head slightly, smiled gently, and took out a stack of white paper from behind his back: "This is an exercise on these axioms, which will help you better understand the construction of shapes and learn magic better." ”

"Thank you, Mr. Evans. The three apprentices innocently took the blank paper and happily picked up the pen to calculate or deduce.

Lucien took out "The Mathematical Principles of the Philosophy of Magic" and continued to look at the rest of the section.

Every minute and second flowed like a stream, and the little faces of Annick, Reilia, and Heidi gradually became solemn, and sweat slid down their foreheads from time to time.

Towards noon, Annick was the first to stand up and said with relief, "Mr. Evans, I'm done. Although the topic is difficult and tiring, after making it, I found that my understanding of axioms and the construction of symbols and graphics is really profound!"

Lucien put down the book in his hand, took it and looked at it, and pointed out a few things that were not rigorous enough, and then Reilia and Heidi finished it almost at the same time, and they both breathed a long sigh of relief, and handed the white paper to Lucian: "Mr. Evans, through practice, we have indeed mastered it better." ”

The three of them looked at each other, saw each other's relaxation, and then asked together, "Mr. Evans, are you going to the restaurant for lunch together?"

Lucien said with the gentlest and most handsome smile: "It's good to be able to understand and master it deeply, but this level is far from enough, you can continue to practice after lunch." ”

Watching Mr. Evans pull out another stack of white paper from behind his back, Annick, Reilia, and Heidi's faces turned pale, as if they saw the devil's smile in a trance. (To be continued.) )
