As the door opened, a warm layer of yellow light slowly emerged, illuminating the entire magic laboratory.

It is clean and tidy, and there are many utensils and alchemy arrays, although it is not as mysterious and strange as the magic laboratory left by the "Prophet" Maskeling in the "Grand Cross Shelf", but it is many times better than the apprentice-level laboratory that Lucien used to arrange himself.

K pointed to one of the alchemy platforms: "Lucian, hehe, I feel like I'm shouting at myself, you use it to refine magic potions, I'm going to start magic experiments." ”

"It's good. Lucien didn't ask too much, and rashly inquired about the content of other people's experiments was one of the biggest prohibitions in the Magic Council.

From time to time, there are magicians who are not so good in character who quietly inquire about the direction and content of other people's experiments, and then design similar magic experiments, preemptively write and publish papers, and obtain arcane points, arcane points, and status glory.

This method is easy to confuse with the situation of conducting arcane research in one direction at the same time but getting results first, and the evidence is difficult to define, unless it is directly determined by magic such as reconnaissance thoughts. But the magicians who dare to do this have a certain amount of strong support behind them, and without sufficient evidence, they can completely refuse to accept magic such as reconnaissance thoughts, and it is easy to find excuses, such as having secrets related to a major magic and magic relics.

What's more, some mages who have stolen other people's arcane research results, because of their narrow-mindedness, fear that the original mages will take revenge on them when they grow up, so they try their best to trample them under their feet, or send them a mission that does not seem too dangerous to make them "disappear" through connections.

Lazar had told Lucien about these things when he introduced the common knowledge of the Magic Council.

The "Solid Stone" magic potion only assists in the stability of mental power, and the requirements are not high, and Lucien is a skilled hand in refining many potions, and after three failures, he successfully refined a tube of brown and turbid magic potions.

It's still early to see the time. Lucien took out a tube of purified elemental materials and prepared to determine the various properties by himself according to those papers.

Then. K, who was facing away from Lucian, suddenly said, "Lucian, do you have any other magic experiments to do besides refining magic potions?"

"I, I'm not trying to inquire about your contents. But if you do have an experiment that you have to do, I can tell you how to open the 'Secret Lock' in this magic lab, even if I can't come in the future. You can also use this magic lab. ”

His voice was low and wide, echoing through the magic lab, giving a sense of reassurance.

"Thank you, K. I'm new to elemental basics and want to experiment with the properties of each element myself. As you know, I only have one ring of magic levels, and many properties can't be determined by my own magic. It can only be used with the help of the magic array and alchemy array in the laboratory. Lucien was not hypocritical, and as he turned around, he replied frankly, this is also to lay the foundation for his future arcane research results, at least many people have proved that they have spent a lot of time to verify the properties of the elements.

And I really need this kind of experiment to eliminate errors. Judging whether there is a pattern to the various elements of this world, if there is, it will mean a lot.

However, when Lucien turned around, he saw that K was still experimenting, so he turned around again to show that he would not snoop on its contents.

"Then I'll tell you how to open the Secret Lock. K's experiment seemed to have entered the stage of waiting for a certain result, so he was able to separate the spirit to talk, and similarly, he was worried about misshearing the content of Lucian's magic potion concoction, so he didn't turn around, "However, I may leave Douglas School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in a few months, and I won't be able to let Lucian continue to use this laboratory." ”

While Lucien opened the alchemy array to turn a small amount of purified elements into steam, and used the measuring alchemy array to determine the density of its gas, he said suspiciously and curiously: "K are you leaving?

"Hehe, when one of my previous papers passed the review, it was valued by a disciple of Mr. Commissioner. He was Mr. Larry of our Elemental Will, and he told me that if I could become a mid-tier mage, he would let me study and study with him, and I recently felt that I was getting closer to the Third Ring, so I wanted to get an item by completing a quest to help me with my promotion. K explained slowly and without showing off, but lacked verbal skills.

Larry is the most promising person of the Elemental Will generation to become a high-level magician, a student of the seven-ring magician Gaston, and is already a fifth-level arcanist and a five-ring magician, even stronger than Ulysses, Timothy and others. In other organizations, there were only six or seven people who could compare to him, such as Felipe, who was younger than him, but was already close to a fifth-level arcanist.

Lucien turned his back to K and nodded slightly, "That's really congratulations." Hehe, what's that paper of yours? I'd like to look it up. ”

"It hasn't been published yet, so I'll have to wait for next week's issue of The Elements. When the time comes, the school will have a free one to watch. K was a little embarrassed by Lucien's inquiry, and did not directly say the name of the paper, "I hope Lucian can complete the basic experiment as soon as possible, otherwise after I leave, you will have to compete with other teachers to seize the speed of the laboratory." ”

Lucien laughed and said, "It's actually the journal "Elemental", no one in the school knows about it, K you are good at keeping it secret." Well, I'll hurry up and finish the experiment. K, you are such a nice person who loves to help others. ”

"Nothing. I just hope that everyone will try to help others as much as possible without delaying their own affairs. K replied with a smile.

The two turned their backs to each other, chatting occasionally, but more focused on their own experiments.

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

When Lucien returned to the Garden Villa, it was early in the morning, and Roque had already fallen asleep.

In the faint fragrance of flowers, the pleasant tranquility made Lucian's mental state quickly adjust to the best, and then opened the glass tube and drank the brown cloudy "hard stone" potion in one gulp.

Countless pungent flavors such as sourness, spiciness, and other irritants tumbled in Lucian's mouth and throat, making him almost vomit to his stomach, but a strange cold enveloped Lucian's spiritual power, making it more and more stable.

Tempering the smell and closing his eyes, Lucien quickly entered meditation, still the starry sky was shining, and the gravitational pull of the Star of Destiny and the three basic forces of fire, wind, and water around him constituted a complete meditation environment.

Consciousness seems to be detached from the soul. Calmly commanding from the side, the spiritual power vibrates, bringing about a qualitative change in the soul. Brilliant lines of starlight emerge to form a rather complex three-dimensional spell model.

Since it was not involved in complex issues such as curves, Lucien was able to construct this spell model with ease, and after more than a month of learning and making up for the meaning of the existing arcane basics. Some of the previous problems were solved very easily.

As the last line closes, the complex spell model takes shape, blooming with a dazzling illusory light. Drag Lucien's onlooker consciousness back into the soul and envelop the whole soul.

But at this time, Lucien's consciousness sensed subtle changes in the starry sky and the fire, feng shui, and meditation environment outside!

Little by little, particles of different colors emerged leisurely, and there seemed to be a deep mystery between them, revealing indescribable complex structures, as if they represented a magic that Lucien had never seen before!

But its construction is so vague, so confusing. When Lucien tried to see clearly, his consciousness was already overwhelmed by the enhanced changes in soul and mental power brought about by the first second-ring magic, "Mirror Shadow".

Waves of wind and waves surged like the first movement of Lucien's symphony of fate, and Lucien was like a sailboat tossed by the wind and waves on the sea, and he could only struggle to stay awake and not pass out.

Fortunately, Lucien has endured many blows and dangers. The spirit and will have been honed quite tenacity, and there is a never-say-die stubbornness in the heart, and finally survived until the illusory light disappeared.

A transparent and beautiful crystal was born in Lucian's soul, and the spiritual power and soul changes reached the extreme, and there was no weakening.

"It's finally the Second Ring Magician. Lucien said as he saw a figure identical to himself, indistinguishable from him.

"Mirror Shadow Technique", the two-ring illusion technique, can help the main body resist the attack before it is cracked by the astrological prophecy detection spells such as the 'True Perception Technique', and if the attack cannot break the mirror image, then it cannot damage the main body.

After feeling the magic of the second ring, Lucien lifted the "mirror shadow technique" and entered meditation again, but the little bit of light particles of different colors that he saw before disappeared, and it was still the original environment, as if he had just hallucinated.

But Lucien was very sure that he had indeed seen it, so he boldly speculated based on his previous experience: "After I took earth, fire, feng shui as the four basic forces, the meditation environment changed, that is to say, the meditation environment is similar to the embodiment of my consciousness, the more I know the Tao, the more specific it is, and if the meditation environment is in line with the operation laws of this world, maybe we can sense each other?"

"I've been arranging elements lately...... Although some of the elements are not as good as those I know, I can still clearly feel the smell of cycles in their properties, and with a little more time to re-measure them, I can confidently arrange a periodic table and predict the elements that have not yet appeared. So when I advanced, the meditation environment changed because of that?"

"Does this mean that when I have fully verified the periods of the elements, they will actually appear in my meditation environment after the next level? and their pattern seems to represent a fuzzy direction of magic? But what kind of magic could it be?'Elemental Cycle'?'Elemental Mastery'? I can't think of what the Elemental Cycle will do......"

"But why would this be?"

While speculating, many questions surfaced, and Lucien was limited to the lack of knowledge, so he could only ignore it for the time being.

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

The city of "Heidler", the "Pale Hand" headquarters magic tower, in a gloomy study.

Felipe stretched out his hands in his black trench coat and saluted with his right hand on his forehead: "Good afternoon, Director Rogerio." What are you looking for me for?"

He was respectful, for the Rogerio in front of him was not only a member of the Pale Hand, but also a member of the "Affairs Committee" of the Magical Council, directly under the leadership of several Lords of the Supreme Council, who served as the chairmen and vice-presidents of the Council.

Short brown hair and no beard, Rogerio is still wearing a black suit and a white shirt with wide cuffs, still the same as when Aalto, deep and restrained, but there are three more badges on his chest, which are the black fire emblem of the seventh-level arcanist, the eight-ring necromancer, and the mysteries of the council.

He wasn't as gloomy as the other necromancers, his sunken dark blue eyes looked at Felipe, and he smiled slightly, "Felipe, how is that experiment of yours going?"

"There is a little progress, but it will take time to think outside the box. Felipe sat down across from Rogerio.

Rogerio nodded slightly: "Not bad." I have a message about 'Professor'. (To be continued.) )
