Lentat, the capital of the Kingdom of Holm, has a six-pointed star platform.

At half past seven in the morning, Lucien, who wore a formal black bow tie at the collar of a white thick shirt, slowly walked off the magic steam train with his hands in the pockets of his black double-breasted long gown, blowing in the cold wind.

After receiving the invitation last night, he only had time to verify with the school's administration that the Elemental Will and the magic symbol of the Royal Magic Court of Holm were correct, and hurried to the first train to Rentat.

Stepping out of the enchanted platform, Lucien beckoned a carriage to stop, then stepped into the warm carriage and told the coachman to head to Swan Lake Rose Manor.

It wasn't until the coachman drove the horses and the wheels rolled forward that Lucien calmed down and pondered his invitation to the "Annual Conference of Elements and Alchemy".

"If they value my periodic table paper, the invitation and treatment should be more grandiose, after all, it will be an important milestone in the development of elemental magic. ”

"But if I don't pay attention, why are they sending me an invitation?"

Bewildered, the time reached 8:30, and the carriage stopped in front of the Rose Manor, and on the left was Swan Lake, covered with a thin layer of ice, which was shrouded in snowflakes.

Guarding the gate of the manor were two young blond haired young men, who exuded a heavy and majestic knightly imposingness.

However, Lucien understands that they are not real knights, and only rely on magic potions to have the strength of quasi-knight level, so they are willing to be part of the elemental will - in magic potions, the elements, alchemy, and necromancy have an absolute advantage.

"Hello, Mr. Arcanist, can you show me your invitation and arcane insignia?" one of the knights asked politely.

Lucien nodded slightly, and handed him the invitation and the arcane insignia,

The knight verified the name on Lucien's arcane badge with a mirror-like magical object and compared it with the invitation, and warmly returned the badge and invitation to him: "Welcome, Mr. Lucien Evans. The Arcanists were almost there, and they were in the hall of the manor's main house. ”

The other knight turned and opened the door, and very politely extended his hand to Lucien to enter.

Nothing happened. Lucien's doubts were dispelled, and he walked unhurriedly to the ajar door of the manor's main house on the rammed earth road, and gently pushed it open.

There was a low humming sound, no music. There was no noise, no noise, and the arcanists gathered in groups and twos throughout the unusually large hall to discuss recent arcane research, magical currents, and problems encountered in their own research. There is an atmosphere of curiosity.

There are about two hundred and ten arcanists, most of whom are mid-level arcanists, and a few are low-level arcanists who have studied a certain elemental issue deeply and have been affirmed.

Tables and high-backed chairs were arranged in a circle in the hall, and in the center of them was a half-height metal platform with magic arrays that amplified sounds and revealed sights, and a half-height lectern.

Lucien's entry only attracted the attention of a small number of Arcanists, but they continued to discuss each other after discovering that they did not know Lucian. Only a pair of cold eyes followed him carefully.

Lazar, who was in charge of the chores of the "Annual Conference of Elementals and Alchemy Magic" in the corner, was finally relieved to see that the meeting was about to start, but was stunned to see Lucien, whom he knew, swaggering into the hall.

Resisting the urge to say hello, he pressed his right hand on the left side of the gown, which was not buttoned up. Politely walk through the arcanists and head in the direction of Lucien.

"Lucian, why are you here?" Lazar asked in a whisper, his expression full of surprise.

This is the "Annual Conference of Elementals and Alchemy"! He didn't join the Elemental Will!

Lucien's eyes were full of strangers, and he was a little apprehensive in his heart, and after seeing Lazar, a familiar friend, he completely settled down and shook the invitation in his hand: "I don't know what Lu Dao is for, I received this invitation for some reason." Lazar, do you know what the reason is?"

"Invitation?" Lazar took it in disbelief, carefully read and examined the magic symbols of the two organizations, and then looked at Lucien with monster-like eyes, "What have you done lately to get an invitation? Is it because the letter you wrote to me told me to remeasure the atomic weight of some elements?

Lucien was about to answer his guess when a majestic male voice near the gate asked a female low-ranking magician who was in charge of the reception, "Evans, Lucian, is Evans here?"

"Mr. Larry, I have verified, Mr. Evans arrived a few minutes ago. The sweet female voice replied with a little luck, but fortunately she had verified the arcanists who were present every five minutes so that she could answer Mr. Larry's question in time, and then she looked into the hall and her voice was louder: "Mr. Evans, Mr. Lucien, Mr. Evans, please come here, Mr. Larry is looking for you." ”

Her voice stopped all the discussion, and the Arcanists looked left and right, slightly curious to know who this Lucien Evans really was, and what his relationship was to Mr. Larry.

"Rebecca, Mr. Evans is here. Lazar replied in a loud voice when he heard his companion looking for his friend, and then took Lucien by the hand and walked towards the gate.

The Arcanists stepped out of the way, and with a little curiosity they looked at Lucian, an Arcanist who was invited at such a young age, not like the kind of rotten guy who used magical rituals or potions to extend his life?

There were three men and one woman standing at the door, the women's green eyes were crystal bright, wearing a red light long dress, delicate and generous, but a little haggard could be faintly seen between her light brown eyebrows, as if she was very tired during this time in order to prepare for the "Annual Conference of Elements and Alchemical Magic".

She was spoken to by a fat man in his thirties with a round face, a rough yellow beard, and deep blue eyes.

"Mr. Larry, Mr. Evans is here. Lazar bowed politely to the round-faced fat man, who had seen this genius known for his elemental will from afar.

Lucien was about to smile and speak, but Larry on the other side was stunned for a moment, and then blurted out, "Who are you?"

His voice was strong, even if it wasn't deliberately loud, it was heard throughout the hall.

"Huh?" Lucien looked at him quizzically. Lazar and Rebecca froze at the same time, and the arcanists in the hall looked at each other strangely, not understanding what was going on.

Larry pressed his hands down: "I'm sorry." Sir, I mean, I don't know you, I'm looking for my student Lucien Evans, uh. K. Evans. ”

Lucien probably understood the reason for the incident, and he only felt ridiculous and funny in his heart.

“...... Mr. Larry, this is the only Mr. Evans who came. There was silence for a few seconds. Rebecca was still apprehensive and puzzled.

Larry looked sideways at her, "Only this Mr. Evans?"

One of the two men who witnessed the whole thing behind Larry's back snapped at Rebecca, "Rebecca, you are responsible for filling out the invitation, and I asked you to invite Mr. Lucien Evans, who has been widely praised for his atomic valence papers, is a disciple of Mr. Larry, isn't this, uh, Lucian Evans, a first-class arcanist, what exactly did you do?" he turned his head to look at the arcane and magical badge on Lucian's chest. The voice is harsher.

His hair was black but wrinkled, he was not young, and he wore the badge of a third-level arcanist and a three-ring magician on his chest, which seemed to be an arcane level accumulated over time.

After scolding Rebecca, he nodded apologetically to the gray-haired old man with a slightly crooked nose and leather shoes next to him. While continuing to glare at Rebecca.

Rebecca's eyes were red from being scolded, but the more anxious she was, the more she couldn't figure out why.

"Mr. Leandrew, since there are two Lucien Evans at Douglas School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, it is possible that they are mistaken. Embarrassed in front of everyone's eyes, Lazar's face turned slightly red, but he couldn't help but defend Rebecca.

Leander was even more furious: "In that case, didn't you indicate K on the invitation, or the arcane level, the magic level? he is just a level and a link! just like you!" he said, pointing to Lucian's chest.

"But, but, Mr. Leandrew, I have checked all the personnel of the Douglas School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and there is only one Mr. Lucien Evans. Rebecca burst into tears, and if there was a name and surname, she would have marked the distinguishing letters.

Lucien calmly explained, "Mr. Leandrew, K left before you sent out the invitation. ”

Meaning, the person who made the mistake was the one who told Rebecca the information.

Leandru said angrily, "But even so, it's a big mistake for her not to indicate the arcane level!And you, why don't you think about whether you are qualified to participate in the 'Annual Conference of Elemental and Alchemical Magic', can't you use your brain to think about it, will this be an invitation for you?" Because of Lucian's low rank, he spoke as if he was reprimanding his subordinates.

"No, no, no, it's my fault. Larry raised his hands, "I asked K to leave, but when I decided to invite K, I forgot to explain it to Mr. Leandrew." ”

"Larry, why don't you invite K?" the gray-haired old man looked at Larry with dark yellow and slightly strange eyes.

Larry smiled bitterly: "Teacher, I didn't expect K to complete his resignation so soon, and I thought that he should continue to stay at school to deal with things these days, but I don't know where Lu Dao ran away, and I couldn't find him at all." ”

This old man in a black suit with strange eyes turned out to be Larry's teacher, the director of the Elemental Will, a member of the Arcane Review Committee, a seventh-level arcanist, and a seven-ring magician, Gaston.

After comparing the explanations before and after, the arcanists in the hall basically understood what was going on, and they all whispered about it, thinking that it was really a rare and interesting thing, and from time to time someone let out a low laugh.

"Mr. Gaston, it's our lax handling of things that has caused you trouble. Leanderdrew bowed to Gaston flatteringly and apologized.

Gaston bowed gently: "Everyone has mistakes, so don't be too harsh on this little girl." ”

Leanderdrew raised his head and said sternly to Rebecca: "Since Mr. Gaston said so, I will not submit the mistake you made this time, and you can't make it again in the future." ”

Then he turned to Lucian and said coldly, "There is nothing to do with you here, you can leave." ”

With such an attitude, even a magician as good as Lucien who is good at keeping calm and sane will inevitably have a strong sense of humiliation.

At this time, Gaston raised his hand to stop Leandrew from speaking: "Evans, have you learned the arcane of the elemental realm?"

"Yes, Mr. Gaston. Lucien didn't understand what he meant, but seeing that he was kind, he nodded slightly.

Gaston smiled, "Then you can stay here and listen." Since you're here, don't miss it, this is a conference on the latest research results in the field of elements, which you may not be able to understand much, but it will be of great help to you. ”

Seeing Lucien's silence and hesitation, he said, "Young man, don't be shy, when you become a famous arcanist in the future, today's matter will be a beautiful talk." ”

Hearing that it was the latest research results, the studious Lucien slowly nodded in agreement.

The cold eyes watched the scene, but Gaston and Larry didn't say anything more, and quickly passed Lucien and walked towards the center of the hall. So he quickly turned his eyes away, afraid of being seen.

Headquarters of the Common Arcanist Monthly.

Woods, who had returned from submitting his paper on the re-determination of atomic weight, sat down in his chair with satisfaction, his mind drifting slightly, and as long as he passed the review in three days, he would be able to catch up with this issue of the monthly magazine.

Thinking about it, he casually picked up the Lucian periodic table paper that he had exchanged, and looked at it again, since he had already measured the elements, he subconsciously skipped this part and looked at the new elements behind him to guess.

"There is such a detailed description of the nature. Woods commented, "I've even guessed how to discover new elements?" )
