The "Loenbergen" Hotel, a large room temporarily converted into a magic laboratory.

"Mr. Evans, these are the two third-level divine skills you want, 'Thorny' and 'Source of Harvest'. Alestine's tone was cold, and he handed Lucien two pieces of paper as yellow as bark but elegant.

This "elven paper" is made from the bark naturally dropped by the elven tree, which is a specialty of the elven family, and is praised by many magicians in the Magic Council as one of the best materials for making high-level magic scrolls, which can be comparable to dragon skin, but unfortunately the quantity is limited, and it is often priceless.

These two druids of the "natural haters" are worthy of being members of the elven royal court, and they are so generous as soon as they make a move, which makes the "hillbilly" Lucien quite greedy.

Taking over the two pieces of paper imprinted with divine magic, Lucien saw that the "three-dimensional" imprints on them were very messy, and many parts gave people a feeling of lack and fragmentation, and there was no balance and mystery that a supernatural force model should have, so he frowned slightly and said: "Prince Exilyon, Princess Elastine, I think these two divine imprints are not complete, since you have come to cooperate, it is best to show sincerity." ”

"Our sincerity is to try to sabotage the cooperation!" Ellerstine cursed in her heart, and then replied with an elegant, perfect but cold smile: "Mr. Evans, we are druids, not magicians, and the extraordinary power we use is a gift from nature, and only with a heart that loves and protects nature can we feel the will of nature, memorize and construct a model of magic." We have never learned, and will not ever learn, the knowledge of analyzing and drawing divine marks, and we have done our best to be able to draw like this. ”

Ecirion was very satisfied with his sister's explanation, and added in a haughty tone: "If you want to see the complete divine imprint, we can directly map the divine magic by making divine items, but then it will be protected by the will of nature, and it can only be destroyed." The contents cannot be parsed. Mr. Evans, do you have what it takes to keep the Divine Mark intact intact while piercing through the natural barrier?"

He was telling the truth, and there were many magical items seized by the Magic Council. But he still stopped in solving the mysteries of magic. One of the reasons for this is that most high-level mages have no way to stabilize the internal structure of the Divine Mark when bypassing the Divine Barrier.

However, the Grand Arcanists with this ability, after removing the Divine Barrier, found that according to the construction principle of the Divine Seal, they needed to rely on the inexplicable "power of the underworld", and this power was unknowable and unpredictable for the time being. Therefore, if there are druids who use magic to cooperate at the critical moment of analyzing the principle, it may be rewarding.

Lucien has a ninth-level divine artifact "Sun Crown" on his body, but he has always been in addition to leaving a spiritual power imprint to stimulate divine magic according to Maskelin's message. There was no way to parse the magic marks in it, so after seeing the uncooperative attitude of the two druids, he said in the tone of a research madman: "Okay, then Mr. Theodor and I, and Mr. Julien will analyze this part of the mark first." ”

"Since you're ready to start, Mr. Evans, it doesn't seem useful for us to stay, we want to get out of the land and observe the state of the other research groups first. Lay a good foundation for our future experiments. Although he was a bit arrogant and impulsive, he couldn't control his mouth, but Exirion, who was born in the royal court, still had a good talent for finding high-sounding excuses.

Lucien pushed the gold-rimmed glasses: "No, when analyzing, we need to use magic for us to observe and sense, otherwise we will not be able to continue." Didn't you two cooperate sincerely?"

Before further orders were given by the Elven Court and the Druid Elders of the "Hateful Faction of Nature". Neither Exilion nor Ellerstin dared to openly say that they were not cooperative, or they were here to make trouble, which was simply an excuse for the Magic Council to send house arrest to themselves and others, and the Elven Court would not question such obvious wrongdoings later.

So the two elves replied gloomily, "Of course we have good intentions to cooperate, but Mr. Evans, we don't have anything to do while you analyze the magic, so why just sit and wait?"

"You can sleep, you can pray for the will of nature, you can talk quietly, you can read the books I have brought, and in any case stay here so that I can be the first to cooperate when I need it. Lucien tried to imitate the image of the arcanist who was obsessed with experimenting with impersonal feelings, "If you still feel like you have nothing to do, I have a few beginner math problems here, do you want to do them?"

This is an Olympiad math exercise for Annick and Sprint to "exercise their minds".

Looking at the thick stack of white paper in Lucian's hand, looking at the numbers that seemed to contain infinite mysteries and curses, Exirion and Ellestine, who relied on fusing their natural will to obtain the imprint of divine magic, suddenly felt a feeling of swelling in their heads and dizzy throbbing, they were the worst at math and the most hateful!

"This Mr. 'Elemental Order', when he is not studying arcane and discussing meat, is really an out-and-out elegant gentleman, humorous, knowledgeable, handsome, polite, and at the same time has a good artistic appreciation and a quiet and calm temperament, more attractive than many male elves, but as long as there is meat, arcane arts, he completely reveals his devilish evil and ruthless side, which is hated and disgusted!" Gentleman" is inconsistent, hating him so much that his teeth itch.

After Exirion and Ellerstin sat down in a chair in the corner of the laboratory surrounded by elven guards, Theodor took a look at the complex magic imprints, and then used the "teleportation technique" to tell Lucian: "I have a headache when I see these models, and the rest of the analysis is up to you!"

This is a short-distance transmission magic, originally used as a second ring in the ancient magic empire, but after being simplified and improved by many arcanists, it became an apprentice-level magic, wrapped in special energy for sound wave transmission, adapted to within ten meters.

At the same time, the sound of Julian's headache also sounded in Lucian's ears through the "teleportation technique", and he was also afraid of the mathematical foundation required for reverse analysis of divine arts.

After handing over the "burden" to Lucien, the two battle-mad mages pretended to look at the magic sigil and wrote with the quill in their hands, but in fact they were in high spirits drawing the winter scenery.

"Isn't that the only one I'm parsing magic?" Lucien was deeply "desperate" for the arcane research group, and then took out a stack of blank paper and began to solve the basic mathematical problems assigned by Lavendi.

Since he had not studied advanced mathematics in depth in his previous life, Lucian's foundation in this area still had many flaws, which could be quickly made up for with the help of Lavendi's guidance, after all, the Magic Council that began to study complex functions was equivalent to the level of the early to mid-nineteenth century on Earth, which was beyond the scope of most people's common sense learning.

Aside from the books in the Soul Library that have not yet been unlocked, Lucien currently leads the Magic Council in a few mathematical knowledge, such as linear algebra (matrices), axiomatic systems, and mathematical conjectures that he does not know the answers to.

Because mathematics fully embodies the spirit of serving the practice of exploration and the application of magic, there is not much research in number theory, conjectures, etc., Lucien once thought that after he became the high-level of the Magic Council, he would put forward those famous mathematical conjectures one by one and publish them, so that the arcanists of the other world can enjoy a "mathematical feast".

In the corner, Ellerstin and Exirion looked at Lucian's serious and handsome face, the constantly scribbling quill, and their hearts were as happy as they were: "No matter how serious you are, no matter how genius you are, in the case of incomplete magic marks, I see how you can quickly reverse the analysis?!"

The joy of having the upper hand in the ploy fermented in the hearts of the two elves, making them feel that time was not difficult.

As the minutes passed, Lucien suddenly spoke, "Prince Exirion, please use the 'Thorn Bush' magic technique. ”

Exirion's face became serious, and he unleashed the three-ring magic as quickly as he could, and clumps of dark green bushes like iron thorns appeared in the room, quickly completely enveloping the laboratory floor, making it difficult for people to step on, and its flickering glow seemed to pierce the knight's defenses.

"Well, I'm a little inspired. Lucien nodded expressionlessly, then turned around and continued to do the math exercises

After a while, Lucien's plea sounded again without any emotion:

"Princess Elestine, please use the magic of 'Source of Harvest'. ”

"It's good. ”

Divine Wave is generated.

......

"Prince Exilyon, please use the 'Fountain of Harvest'. ”

......

"Princess Elestine, please release 'Thorny' again. ”

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

Again and again the demands echoed in the laboratory, and the magic fluctuations were generated again and again.

"It's lunchtime, Mr. Evans, how are you doing, have you figured out the principles of the magic?" asked Exirion, getting up a little tired. Although they delayed from time to time under the pretext that they needed to recover in order to thwart the analysis, by lunchtime, they had each unleashed their magic dozens of times.

Lucien put away the white paper on the table and told them with a serious face, "I'm sorry, but due to incomplete magic marks, my analysis has not made any progress. ”

Exirion and Ellestin couldn't help but cheer in their hearts, and at the same time squeezed out an expression of understanding: "It's okay, Mr. Evans, the beginning of anything is difficult, don't rush. ”

"Yes. Let's have lunch first. Lucien said with difficulty keeping a dead face. I've solved a problem, and I can enjoy the food with a happy mood.

At the mention of lunch, Teodor, who was almost asleep, sprang out like the Urian rabbit.

"By the way, Mr. Evans, those two 'elven papers' are back to us, I think you've memorized the magic sigil. "Ellestin doesn't want to take this abominable magician cheap!

Lucien's flesh ached.

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

Three days later, Ellerstin and Exirion, who were "trapped" in the magic laboratory and couldn't leave, happened to hear that other research groups had begun experiments with land, so they found Lucien with some suspicion.

Is he perfunctory to his brother and sister? )
