On the thirty-third floor of the Magic Council Headquarters, in a small room, sunlight shines through the floor-to-ceiling glass windows, dyeing the neatly arranged tables, chairs and bookshelves with a faint golden luster, which further sets off the cleanliness and tidiness of the place.

After returning with Lucien and Tonpu, Fernando received a letter from an old friend, so he told them to wait for the other students to arrive, and then went into the cubicle to read the letter quietly.

"Mr. Tang Pu, thank you for allowing me to enter the Douglas School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in the first place, otherwise the initial study and research would be trapped in materials and laboratories. There was no one around, and in order to avoid the embarrassment of the dull atmosphere, Lucien stirred up the topic with gratitude.

The middle-aged elegant gentleman-like Tang Pu pushed his gold-rimmed glasses, and said with a slight smile: "Don't thank you too much, any committee member will be curious to adjust your paper when they see that application, this is the instinct of the arcanist, and if you can get such an evaluation in the case of not long after you have been in contact with the arcane, as long as the committee member and you have no hatred in the past, they will agree to your application and ask the school to pay attention." ”

"But Mr. Tang Pu, you also recommended my thesis to the teacher. Lucien looked at the room, which looked like both a study and a small conference room, and said a little puzzledly, "I thought the teacher would take us to his half-plane magic tower to discuss." ”

Tang Pu kept a smile: "According to the rules of the Supreme Council, the seven Grand Arcanists must always have one in Alinge, so they will rotate every five years after consultation. By the way, we are all students of the teacher, so you don't have to be so polite. Just call me soup recipes. In fact, your arcane level should have reached level five, which is not much different from my level six. ”

His gaze swept over the arcane and magic insignia on Lucian's left chest, both of which hadn't had time to be updated, still rank four and three rings.

"It's probably going to be three or four months before the arcane level is level. Lucien calculated in his heart that when he left, the arcane points were only more than eight hundred and fifty, and because of the time saved when he returned, the entire mission was just one year and one month, and according to the rate of feedback of points from papers and new magic citations every month at a rate of about ten points, he should not have become a fifth-level arcanist now.

Tang Pu shook his head. I found a chair and sat down at random: "The role and status of the periodic table in the field of elements believe that Lucian, you know better than me." This year coincided with the vigorous development of the valence state of the atomic atom of the element, that is, the valence state of the reaction of different elements, which gradually matured from the new, and the number of papers published was very large. And it is one of the manifestations of the periodic law of the elements. To talk about the atomic valence state. You can't get around the periodic table. ”

"Judging by my memory of reading the papers, you should have had over a thousand Arcane Points a few months ago. This made many Arcanists jealous, and proposed to the Arcane Review Committee that the periodic table be a foundational achievement. There should be a time limit like the basics of atomweight data, formula constants, calculation formulas, elementary alchemy reactions, etc., which can be used at any time, otherwise the increase in arcane points will not be reasonable. ”

In the middle of his sentence, Tang Pu deliberately stopped, as if intending to arouse Lucian's curiosity. He specializes in explosion, fire, and high-temperature types of magic, and is a high-level mage in the field of heat and elementals, but he has not joined any organization, and belongs to the pure council faction like the Storm Master, and is very optimistic about Lucien, a genius in the field of elemental magic, and is willing to make friends - on the other faction he is good at, the "Astral System", Lucien has not published any outstanding papers, and is widely regarded as a genius in the elemental field.

"Did the review committee agree?" Lucien asked, agreeing to the meaning of the soup, and at the same time happy for K, his current main research direction is to follow Larry into the field of atomic valence, and the vigorous development of this area shows that he has gained a lot.

Tang Pu said with a smile: "How can the review committee agree, with the increase in the number of references to the periodic table in the study of each direction of elemental magic, the latecomers only need to cite their papers, unless they plan to elaborate systematically, and after these two years have passed, Lucian's feedback on the arcane points you have gained from the periodic table will decrease rapidly, and tend to slow and stabilize." ”

"That's good. Lucien made up his mind to "revise" the periodic table every once in a while, so that the direct citations would be more again, anyway, due to the limitations of the current research results, the previous periodic table was deliberately left or had to leave a lot of problems, such as rare gases, because of the limitations of his magic level and laboratory conditions, it was difficult to separate, and now everything is different.

The two were not very familiar with each other, and due to the difference in arcane and magical levels, they were in different circles, so the topic gradually shifted to the current atomic valence state, which is the hottest in the elemental field.

Not long after the exchange, as there was a knock on the door, a young and medium-sized man walked in, his face was unusually thin, so that his cheekbones protruded, his light blue eyes were like summer sky, clean and transparent with a touch of melancholy, the whole looked like a poet than a magician, but the badge on the chest of his gray suit was impossible to underestimate, an arcane badge with seven silver stars on a black background, a magic badge with a silver background with seven black rings, an arcane audit committee badge with a quill in one hand, and a medal with countless ice crystal patterns。

"Lucien, this is Chloe, another student of the teacher, a member of the Arcane Review Committee and an authority on the motion of thermokinetic molecules, who is currently trying to study the second law at a deeper level, with knowledge of probability and statistics. Tang Pu introduced Lucien.

The Second Law of Thermodynamics was summarized by Fernando and others in order to refute a concept in the development of the Magical Council, and with the discarding of the "heat mass theory" and the close correlation between heat and energy, magicians realized that when the temperature of an object decreases, heat is released, because many people believe that they can maintain the permanent operation of the magic circle by drawing heat energy from the endless sea, but their idea has failed.

Then he said to Chloe, "Chloe, this is Lucien Evans, the winner of the Holm Crown Award. ”

Chloe's fleshless cheeks pulled into a faint smile, "Hello, Evans." ”

He didn't say much. After being summoned, he sat quietly aside, as if he had fallen into his own world, completely oblivious to the fact that there were other people in the room.

Not long afterward, two more high-ranking magicians of the Seven Rings arrived, according to Tang Pu, the woman was Asikana and the man was Lehi Carter, both of whom maintained their appearance as young and mature, but their achievements in arcane arts were much smaller than Chloe's.

Lucien had just called them. I haven't had time to talk yet. There was another sharp knock on the door, which seemed a little rude, Tang Pu and the others shook their heads with a smile, got up and opened the door.

A dragon with beautiful transparent scale armor appeared in front of Lucian's eyes. This was the first time Lucien had seen a dragon standing on the top of a chain of magical creatures.

The dragon glanced at Lucien with the same curiosity. Then he said in a childish voice, "I know you." You're the magician with the beautiful ring!"

It stared at the Holm crown ring "Elemental" on Lucian's right index finger with a blazing gaze, and couldn't take its eyes off it for a long time: "Can you give it to me? I can sign a contract for selling myself for a hundred years!"

"Averies, stop messing around. Tang Pu reluctantly reprimanded it. Turning to Lucian, he said, "It has already sold itself once, and it will be useless to sell it again." ”

Lucien was taken aback by Averies' directness, and only quietly breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Tang Pu's words, where did this dragon come from?

Afrith reluctantly withdrew his gaze, a glimmer of light on his body, quickly becoming smaller, and paced in like a giant wolfdog.

"Lucian, it's a crystal dragon, hatched from a dragon egg that the teacher picked up more than fifty years ago, and has been learning magic with the teacher and us, and has an outstanding talent in the arcane, much stronger than its compatriots who need to be in the prime of life to enter the high ranks, but due to the failure of a previous magic experiment, Afrith has suffered a serious curse, unable to grow up, unable to transform into other forms, and it will take about a hundred years to eliminate. Soup introduces Lucien to the dragon, which is both Fernando's pet and his student.

The short-haired, green-eyed Lehi saw that Afrith had been walking around Lucien, ignoring the beautiful Holm crown ring, so he smiled and diverted his attention: "Averies, what research have you been doing lately?"

"Ah, lately?" said Afrith "nonchalantly," said Afrith "lately, I've been sleeping in and not doing anything." ”

Tang Pu directly revealed its bottom: "Hehe, it sold itself because of greed for money, and it has been being studied recently." ”

Afrith brought the atmosphere alive and lively, and the time passed quickly, and Fernando stepped out of the cubicle.

Seeing him, both Tang Pu and Afrith suddenly became serious, and the discussion room suddenly fell silent.

Fernando sat casually on one of several chairs, put away all the lewd humor, and said very solemnly: "As is customary, we hold such a regular meeting every month to share the progress of our research and bring up the difficult problems we encounter to discuss. He said this to Lucian.

"Today I read a letter from an old friend I just received, so that you can get an idea of the current state of development of arcane and magic in the minds of other arcanists. ”

"This letter comes from the Silver Moon Medal, the Ice and Snow Medal winner, a member of the Arcane Review Committee, and the archmage Viscount Roland. ”

Viscount Roland was a nobleman of the Kingdom of Briana and lived in the country for a long time.

Fernando took out the letter and read it selectively: "...... With the establishment of Lord Brooke's classical theory of the electromagnetic system, and gradually improved and extended to other aspects, the entire arcane system should be said to be basically complete, that is, the theories of His Excellency Speaker Douglas and Lord Brooke are regarded as a highly mature, perfect, and wonderful arcane world of the sun and the silver moon respectively. ”

“...... In this world, everything is governed by laws, strict laws, intoxicating laws......"

"Although there are still many laws that have not yet been discovered, summarized, summarized and applied, and there are many phenomena that have not yet been reasonably explained, and the laws behind them and the reasons for the formation of the laws cannot be understood, I think that their results will only be a reasonable supplement to this arcane world, perhaps pioneering, transforming, and even changing the times, but they can also be attributed to these two major systems, and there will be no exceptions in this wonderful world.
