—— Tomorrow afternoon will start the blockade, so there will be an outbreak tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.

"Wizard Management Department".

Eric looked Lucien up and down, his pale gray pupils reflected his handsome and restrained figure, and said in a light tone as if he was stepping on clouds: "All the assessment items of your arcane foundation are excellent...... If I didn't know you, I would have thought that this was done by a mid-level arcanist with at least ten years of arcane education, especially the reasoning of the mathematical foundation proves that the logic is very rigorous. You've really only been learning the basics of arcane and magic for three months?"

"Yes. Lucien had no doubt that he could pass the arcane assessment, and nodded slightly with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Eric rubbed his cheek with his right hand: "In the assessment room of the Wizard Management Department, unless you have the help of a legendary-level magic item, you can't cheat at all, and there is also the supervision of me and Lady Lucy at the same time." So I declare that Evans, the results of your arcane basic test are true and credible. Once you've submitted it to the Minister for signature, you'll earn a base Arcane Credit. Please wait. ”

The four Ministers of the Wizards' Management Department rotate between the first and third vice-presidents, and the Ministers are members of the Ministerial Committee.

Watching Eric submit the results of the assessment to the minister through the teleportation array in the tower, Lucien said with a little expectation: "Mr. Eric, I wonder when the review results of my arcane paper will come out?"

Even though Lucien was better at keeping calm than many of his peers, and even most magicians, he was a little nervous at this time.

The periodic table has an undoubted position in the history of geochemistry, and it also occupies an important position in the whole process of scientific development, symbolizing the end of mankind's scattered exploration of elements in nature, summing up the laws of the elements and using them to guide their subsequent research. And what lies beneath its cyclical appearance is another unimaginable realm, and the in-depth study of this field has completely shattered the understanding of the geophysical past. It could also upend most of the current theories of the Magical Council.

So it is not an exaggeration to compare the periodic table to the cornerstone and throne of the field of elements, but even such an important research result was proposed by Mendeleev. It was also ridiculed by many people, even his teachers thought it was meaningless and a waste of life, and even in the early twentieth century, when its importance was widely recognized, he failed to win the Nobel Prize in Chemistry by one vote.

Think of these. Lucien was inevitably a little nervous, such a purely summative paper with no theoretical basis for derivation needed to be verified by later generations.

Although he boldly predicted and guessed some of the atomic weights and new elements that needed to be corrected, this is another world. It is still unknown where the new elements are hidden, and it is unknown when the Dao will be discovered, and some of the atomic weight corrections involve the separation of strange isotopes, which cannot be verified for the time being, and perhaps the Arcanist will stop the experiment at this point.

All of this is going to take time, and Lucien doesn't want to have a high-ranking magician say in a sad tone at one of the "Holm Crown Awards" ceremony, "Let us mourn Mr. Lucien Evans with deep sorrow." His summary of the periodic table shocked the entire wizarding world, but he was unfortunately killed, and it was not until his death that the results of his research were recognized. ”

And if you want to get a response from Hao Lu as soon as possible, you need the paper to be published in a journal with enough influence to be seen by more Arcanists. As long as one of them verifies the error in atomic weight and publishes it, his periodic table paper will be really taken seriously.

Hearing Lucian's question, Eric replied solemnly: "The shortest time for paper review is three days, and sometimes the committee members and gentlemen are busy, or it may be a week or a month. Evans, the last time you were able to get a timely review was because you submitted a new magic at the same time, and it is not normal for a gentleman to be impressed by its idea and find a paper to read carefully. Rest assured, each paper is archived within the Arcane Review Committee, and the two gentlemen review it separately, so no one will steal your work. ”

"Three days, okay. Lucien didn't say much, and he was not in danger of showing a flaw in a short time. In Alinge, important buildings such as the Experimental Tower have relatively strong defenses, and in order not to alarm others to infiltrate, you need at least the strength of the Archmage.

If it weren't for his own too many secrets, Lucien was ready to think of a plan to directly borrow the power of the Magic Council to get rid of the undead and find out the person behind it, he would definitely not have thought that he had a magic item close to the legendary level!

After waiting for a moment, the minister's signature document was returned, and Eric threw Lucian's arcane badge and magic badge into the iron cage together, and rang the bell to renew it.

"Evans, you've earned basic arcane points, and in the latest issue of the journal, there are a total of eight arcane papers citing your bat experiment papers and new magical principles, and with the addition of the Storm Lord's citations, you get a total of nine cited arcane points. Your current Arcane Points total is seventeen, congratulations on your promotion to Arcanist Level 1. Eric took out the Arcane Badge and looked at it, then stretched out his right hand and shook Lucien in congratulations.

The Arcane Emblem has become a silver star on a black background, deep and beautiful.

Then Eric took out the magic badge and handed it to Lucian: "Due to the Storm Master's reference, a large number of Arcanists are very interested in your new magic at the apprentice level, and the exchange price of one Arcane Point is relatively cheap, so you have a total of seven hundred and sixty-nine Arcane Points, which is really an enviable start." "As for the information that the magic level has been upgraded to the second ring, Lucien plans to update it after this event is over.

Watching Eric's mouth move, Lucien took a deep breath and was shocked by the amount, which meant that nearly a tenth of the magicians in Alinge had redeemed their bat screaming magic, which was an astonishing proportion!

The influence of the Grand Arcanist is really incomparable, and while "hanging himself on the city wall to show the public", it has also brought him a lot of benefits, even if he is a magic teacher with peace of mind, without eating, drinking, or doing anything, it will take him at least six or seven years to accumulate so many Arcane Points.

As a not-so-serious money junkie, Lucien couldn't contain his joy, but when he thought of the undead, he had to become calm again.

Putting on his new Arcane and Magic Insignia, Lucien returned to the Wizard Management Hall.

Although Cindy and Donna had long judged that Lucien could be promoted to a first-class arcanist from Lucien's thesis, they still congratulated Lucien with shock and envy. Because he was the fastest magician to reach the official Arcanist rank after joining the Magic Council, his future looks very bright.

After Cindy and Dona had lunch, Lucien returned to Douglas School of Witchcraft and Wizardry to await the results.

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

Fourteen floors of the Magic Tower. In one of the exclusive lounges of the Panel.

Rogerio held a glass of red wine in his slightly pale hand and listened quietly to the report of the tall and burly undead opposite.

The undead wore a black hooded robe, but unlike the ancient mage robes, it had many strange and mysterious white patterns on it. Its eyes shimmered red. The skin is pale and delicate, and the figure appears from time to time, as if it is constantly shuttling between the two worlds.

"Adore. Are you saying that Lucien Evans is a normal, hard-working magician who has not been in contact with anyone of doubt?, and the content of his magic experiments, which you also know from his conversations with other teachers, is to grasp the characteristics of different elements by verifying their properties?" Rogerio was more polite to the undead, less like a normal summon and more like a partner.

The undead Adore's hooded head nodded slightly, "Yes." No doubt. At the same time, I didn't notice anyone watching and protecting Lucien Evans. Mr. Rogerio, you should understand that I can travel between the two worlds, unless I am a legendary magician or a ninth-level cardinal, it is difficult for me to sense the breath. ”

"No one to monitor and protect? I'm going to use this to potentially track back the professor. Rogerio stroked the back of his right hand holding the glass with his left hand. "Perhaps, Lucien Evans was thrown out by the elemental will to attract and divert our attention, otherwise how could he use his real name openly. It's complicated. ”

"Things have to be pushed forward, otherwise if Lucien doesn't have contact with the magicians of the elemental will for a long time, it will be difficult for the observation to have a good effect. Rogerio walked to the window and condescendingly watched the ant-sized Lucien leave the magic tower, "What else did he do this time besides renewing his arcane points?

In his mind, Lucien had probably been studying the arcane arts for a year and a half, and he had enough ability to pass the assessment.

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

Inside Larry's study.

He was busy looking at books and materials, calculating things with quills and auxiliary magic arrays from time to time, until the yellow-brown owl Matthew flew to urge, and he remembered the time for the paper review, so he picked up the papers accumulated in the past few days and read them carefully.

Looking at it, he found a familiar name: "Lucien, Evans, hehe, it's X, not K." ”

Although he was not a person he knew, his attention had been focused because of this, and he read more carefully than any other paper before.

"The periodic repetition of the properties of the elements is very clear in this table, but there is a question mark over whether it is a real periodic law. There have been many similar discussions of the law of the elements in the past, but all of them have been overturned by the discovery of new elements. ”

As a fifth-level arcanist specializing in elemental magic, Larry thought with a slight frown.

"Well, to point out that there is an error in the atomic weight measurement? is it like to say, if it doesn't match my periodic table, then it must be 'your' fault? And the prediction of new elements...... That's bold. ”

"I have done many times in the determination of the atomic weights of several of these elements, and it is not as wrong as he guessed. ”

Originally, I was going to directly judge that I would not pass the review, but after thinking about it, Larry muttered: "Other atomic weight measurements may need to be done again, but I don't have time for the time being, I have to prepare the paper to be presented at the Lentat Elemental Conference in a month...... Well, write it down, and then verify the other speculations when you're done. ”

Larry then writes his own comments on the surface of the paper.

In another place, Timothy, a fourth-level arcanist and five-ring magician, who was a student of the seven-ring magician Ofrey, also began to write reviews.

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

Three days later, Lucien asked for leave again and came to the "Wizard Management Department", this time he was received by a busty lady named Lucy, she was ordinary-looking, slightly yin, a third-level arcanist, a four-ring magician.

"Miss Lucy, are the results of the review of my arcane paper out?" Lucien asked politely, not as familiar with her as Eric was.

Lucy's attitude was average, but she did not embarrass Lucien, and took out a document and said: "Just after the review, Mr. Gaston and Mr. Ofrey have similar evaluations: 'The paper summarizes the properties of the elements, and arranges the periodic tables according to the atomic weight, and at the same time boldly guesses the discovery of new elements and the errors of some atomic weights, but there is no direct and strong evidence of its correctness, and it is only a paper with discussion value. Pass the audit and reward one arcane point and one arcane point. ”

Comparing the evaluation and points received by the bat paper, Lucian, who was prepared, was not angry, but felt a little funny and ridiculous, this is enough to leave a name in the history of the elements and magic, and there is only one arcane point. (To be continued.) )
