Since the "Corona of the Sun" has only unlocked a layer of seals, the necromantic aura that can be sensed by it must be strong enough and very close. This means that Lucien has a terrifying undead creature hidden next to him, the kind of powerful undead who can take out a low-level mage with a single blow!

But in Lucian's spiritual senses, there was nothing strange about the entire study, and no matter from any angle, he was alone.

The winter afternoon sun was warm, shining warmly on Lucian, but Lucian did not feel warm, but a biting chill rose, and he was creepy.

Resisting his fear and fear, Lucien quietly picked up a card and "carefully read" the elemental nature of the summary above.

The corona of the sun became more and more intense, Lucien looked at the cards in his hand, and an inexplicable picture appeared in his heart: next to his cheek, just parallel to his head, there was a transparent and clear pale head, with wide eyes flashing with a strange red light, reading the elemental cards carefully with him, and in the opposite mirror there was only his own focused figure.

"Was it sent by the Pale Hand to spy on me?"

"They don't seem to have connected me to the professor yet, otherwise it wouldn't have been as simple as surveillance......"

In the midst of his thoughts, Lucien looked at the elemental cards one by one, like all studious beginners, tirelessly memorizing, understanding and mastering the various properties of the different elements, not showing the slightest abnormality, but thinking to himself: "I must write an arcane research paper as soon as possible......

The afternoon passed quickly, and Lucien put down the cards and walked out of the study, the scorching heat of the "Corona of the Sun" had turned into a plausible warmth, indicating that the powerful undead had moved away from him a little, but had not really left.

"Sure enough, it's just surveillance. Lucien relaxed a little, as long as he didn't show anything abnormal. According to the pattern of the past week, there is nothing to be doubted about by others, but this does not make Lucien completely relaxed. No one knows how long the patience of the pale hand of the Dao Dao will last, whether it will leave or use other means if it does not notice the anomaly.

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

After dinner, Lucien made his way to the Magic Experiment Tower.

As soon as you step into the tower, the warmth of the "Corona of the Sun" disappears completely. Returned to normal.

"It seems that this magic tower is equipped with a strong protective magic array, so that the undead who are watching me do not dare to enter. Lucien was half-shocked to find out, it would be devastating to be watched at all times.

That's when K walked in. After seeing Lucien, he said with a slight joy: "Lucian, I thought you weren't in the mood to do magic experiments today." You're tougher than I thought you would. ”

"I'm not one to give up on myself when I'm hit. Lucien smiled, then walked side by side with K, "By the way, K, what is your paper published in the journal Elements? Suddenly fell into the joy of the paper being cited by His Excellency the Grand Arcanist, and even forgot to read the journal "Elements". ”

K scratched his head a little embarrassedly: "It's about the discussion that in magic potions and alchemical reactions, elements always bind to a fixed number of other molecules, which is what Mr. Larry called the atomic valence. ”

"This is the foundation of elemental magic, no wonder you are valued by Mr. Larry. I'm going to go and read it later. Just in time for my recent magical experiments with mastering the nature of the elements. Lucien smiled and complimented.

K grew embarrassed, laughed, and didn't speak.

At this time, a few people on the third floor of the magic tower passed by the staircase, and just happened to see Lucien and K.

"Mr. K, Mr. Evans, good evening. It was an ordinary young man with black hair and black eyes who spoke, and his silent and honest face showed a smile that seemed to be not a smile.

"Good evening, Beate. ”

After a polite response, he continued his way up the stairs that led to the fourth floor, without looking at Bate and his companions.

Lucien bowed politely and coldly, and followed K up the stairs without saying a word.

"It seems that Mr. Evans, you have not really reflected on your mistakes. Seeing Lucien's performance, Beate laughed, "Still holding a grudge against us." ”

K turned around suddenly, and there was anger in his deep voice: "Beate, I know that Lu Lusean's teaching style does violate the school rules, but why don't you advise him first? If he is unwilling to correct it, then it is not too late to complain." Are you so careful?"

"Yo, there are times when honest and good people are recognized. Beate's companion, Benois, who was good at electromagnetism and astrology, said exaggeratedly, and then his slender face became serious, "This is a serious violation of school rules and long-standing traditions, how can we cover it up and persuade it in private? ”

Lucien was about to speak, but Beate was already looking at K with a smile: "Violating school rules is not a big deal, the development of electromagnetic waves is the most important thing now." K, if you still insist on the theory of spiritual force particles, insisting that atoms are the foundation of the worldly realm, and that you can't change the concept of arcane, I'm worried that when you meditate one day, your head will explode. Ha, we're going to learn about the application of electromagnetic waves according to the magic experiment of the Storm Master, so I won't bother you to continue to study the elements~"

The tail note is long, and he is so high-spirited as he is usually taciturn, and several of his companions around him are not about the same.

Lucien watched a little angrily as they turned and walked away, and at the same time said in confusion, "K, why do you meditate and your head explodes?"

As a guy who still lacks a lot of magical knowledge, Lucien can only ask K next to him.

K was not too angry at Beate's sarcasm, and a deep voice echoed through the stairwell: "This comes from His Excellency Speaker's discourse on meditation. Because it has no exact theoretical basis, it is not included in the basic books of the arcane, so you don't know the way for the time being. He believes that the meditation environment is the embodiment of his own understanding of the essence of the world, and what kind of concept and knowledge there is, what kind of meditation environment there is. ”

Lucien nodded secretly and didn't interject, it seemed that he was not the only one who felt this way, and Mr. Douglas, who had laid the foundation of the arcane arts, thought the same way.

"In addition to the dozen or so meditation methods that are universally applicable, different meditation environments correspond to different meditation methods. If the meditation environment conflicts with the meditation method, or if the meditation environment is unstable, continue to meditate. There will be a danger of mental power explosion, which may damage the soul and brain structure, or directly blow up the head. ”

So when a subversive theory emerges. If the magician can't accept it, if he can't grasp it, if he can't adjust his perception to it, then the meditation environment won't change. And a magician or a sapient being. If the concept of the world and the perception of magic has been established, it is difficult to be changed by external forces, so magicians who cannot accept subversive new theories often occupy the majority. For example, in the Arcane journal this time, His Excellency the Speaker once again wrote an article using those few magic experiments to deny the claim that mental power is electromagnetic waves. ”

But if the truth of this theory is beyond doubt. When even the magicians themselves who can't accept it can't deny it, their concept of the world and magic will completely collapse, their cognition will fall into an extremely chaotic contradiction, and the meditation environment will become very unstable, and the light ones will stagnate from then on, and in serious cases, the soul will be traumatized, or even die directly. Only some of the best magicians can reconstruct their own cognitive realm. Step on the right path. ”

In addition, the blow to confidence should not be ignored, and it will also affect the effectiveness of meditation. ”

The more Lucien listened, the more frightened he became, no wonder Felipe was so excited when he faced synthetic urea at the death feast. I thought he was arrogant and arrogant, and it was difficult for him to give up the theory of human vitality for a while, but now he realized how dangerous it was at that time! Fortunately, urea was not decisive, neither in this world nor on the earth, he could not completely deny the theory of human vitality, and coupled with the deterrence of the reputation of the Church's purification sequence, he was able to get out in danger and danger.

"According to the rumors, Felipe's concentration on research must be one of the foundations of the necromantic faction that tends to overthrow the doctrine of human life force, and he deserves to be one of the most prominent magicians of his generation to accept this idea so quickly. It's just that he seems to want to come up with a decisive result before the 'Professor' - overthrown by the enemy or by his own people will be the difference between heaven and hell in the subsequent guidance of the Pale Hand Magician's cognition. ”

Lucien guessed based on what he knew, "That Pale Hand probably attaches great importance to the professor, no wonder he would send such a powerful undead to spy on me." ”

Not noticing Lucian's strangeness, K continued, "However, all the current subversive theories are full of controversy, and they can't completely destroy the cognitive world of mages, and the rest of the groundbreaking magical research is a supplement to the current arcane system, so this aspect is not obvious. ”

"However, in the past few major debates, such as when electromagnetic induction was confirmed, for example, when the existence of gravity was confirmed, there were many high-level and middle-level magicians who could not accept that their inherent concepts were destroyed and died, so there were many magicians who failed to reach this level. It is said that after the light was proven to be an electromagnetic wave some time ago, several priests in the Kingdom of Holm were swallowed by the holy light in their bodies while praying. These things indirectly prove the correctness of His Excellency Speaker's statement on meditation. ”

"Of course, there are also many powerful magicians who can receive, study, and master new knowledge. ”

"Every great development of arcane and magic is accompanied by such tragicomedy, with magnificent and tragic controversy. ”

Lucien nodded subconsciously, his expression solemn, and in the world realm where the meditation environment can be constructed by cognitive concepts, such a situation is normal. The reason why I can easily change the meditation environment is that the changed meditation environment is my fundamental cognition, but I need to verify its correctness first.

"So after the ancient inheritance mages came to the council, the council's most emphasis was to change the concept, accept the arcane, and let the two people inspire growth at the same time by teaching the tasks of the apprentice. But even so, the majority of ancient inheritance mages who have not been able to change their cognition and thus stagnate, and there are only a few like Lucien who can quickly accept the arcane and verify it with their own hands. K complimented Lucian, "This has to do with your natural arcane mind. ”

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

For the next month, Lucien lived an orderly life under the watchful eye of the revenant, completing the verification of the elemental properties, but instead of arranging the elemental cards in the study, he did it in the magic laboratory and the soul library.

Lucien then began to write a dissertation entitled:

"On the periodic relationship between the properties of elements and their atomic weights and the prediction of some new elements". (To be continued.) )
