Chapter 30: A New Beginning in the Field of Elemental Magic (Part 3)
The sound of Lavendi's roar echoed through the halls like rolling thunder, ringing in the ears of the Arcanists. This was confused with the shock of witnessing the periodic table confirmed just now, and there was a mixed feeling of deafening, anticipation and fear, and even Gaston, Ofrey, Loclinne, and Lydia, the four members of the audit committee who were not far from Lavendi, could not maintain their usual composure, and were slightly excited and excited.
The confirmation of the periodic table shows that the discovery of new elements in the field of elemental magic is no longer scattered and blind, and it will be a matter of theoretical guidance, rules to follow, and direction to move forward when a cat described as blind has collided with a dead mouse!
"Exploring the world realm, trying to summarize the laws from the phenomena, and then deducing other phenomena from these laws", there is no more in the field of elemental magic than this research result in the spirit of arcane!
In the midst of such emotions, they did not react to Lavendi's question for a moment, but in the corner of the hall a male voice sounded excited and uneasy:
"Lucien Evans? Mr. X......"
"Lucien Evans? Mr. X is here!"
After the words were repeated, the voice became so loud that it seemed difficult to control, as if it was afraid that others would not be able to hear it.
"Huh?" Lavendi and most of the Arcanists didn't expect such an answer, Lucien Evans? X is actually in the venue?!
Gaston and Larry reacted as quickly as possible, and the Lucian Evans they had met with the same name and surname as K was Mr. X!
Such a great discovery was actually summed up by a first-level arcanist and a first-ring magician!
On the half-height metal platform, Leandrew, who was next to Lavendi, was dizzy in front of his eyes, his face became like a shriveled orange peel soaked in water for ten days, and countless thoughts in his mind were mixed into a mess, and he couldn't find the thread.
All eyes were on him. In the corner, he raised his hand in reply, Lazar, who was wearing his usual black double-breasted gown, and looked extremely agitated. After receiving Lucian's letter, he took the opportunity of setting up the venue to flip through the temporarily printed journal "Elements", focusing on Lucian's periodic table paper. I was very impressed with its content.
Therefore, during Lavendi's on-site experiments just now, every data or determination of properties hit his soul like a stormy wave.
This guess based on the periodic law of the elements is so accurate. More worthy of the title of prophecy than the vague prophecies of the astral system, as if he had seen the new element with his own eyes!
It was something so magical that even magicians couldn't believe it, and Lazar was naturally dizzy and his mind swollen. It wasn't until Lavendi's roar reached his ears that he came to his senses: this magical treatise containing terrifying value was written by his friend Lucien Evans!
Great joy and glory struck Lazar, though he feared being scolded by the grumpy archmage Lavendi. But he still raised his hand without hesitation and shouted.
Lucien, who was beside him, closed his eyes tightly after the atomic weight of the new element was determined, and his adventure finally succeeded!
Emotions such as joy, excitement, happiness, and fear kept fermenting and echoing in Lucien's heart. If this new element is a strange isotope, then I don't know when my paper will be taken seriously, and once it is labeled as blind and arrogant by the Arcanists, the next paper will be subjected to unspeakable implicit discrimination. There was no other way than to rely on the Holm Crown Ring to receive the protection of the elemental will in the short term.
Of course, Lucian's grasp of this is far greater than the premonition of failure, because the analysis of this group of elements in the otherworldly realm can roughly judge that even if it has isotopes, its stable existence will not affect its arrangement in the periodic table.
In any case, from the correction of the atomic weights of the elements and the repeated determination of the periodic law of the elements of this world according to the laws of nature, the uneasiness continued to accompany Lucien due to the lack of strong evidence, and Lavendi's experiments shook himself and the other arcanists while also calming Lucian's mind.
It is easy to deduce other phenomena according to the law, but before the phenomenon is confirmed, how many people can adhere to the law summarized by themselves?
Lavendi, Timothy and other arcanists saw a restrained young man standing quietly beside Lazar, who wore a black bow tie and a long double-breasted gown of the same color, both formal and handsome, with dark and deep black pupils......
"You're Lucien Evans? X?" Subject is too young, Ravendi asked, slightly surprised.
The hall was also silent, except for Gaston, Larry and other magicians who were mentally prepared, the other arcanists could not imagine Lucian's youth, they thought that a low-level arcanist who had studied the nature of the elements for many years had discovered the periodic law by accident, but this did not seem to be the case, this was a real young man!
Lucien came back to his senses when Lavendi roared, controlled his excitement, and said with a smile, "Yes, Your Excellency Lavendi. ”
For the Nine-Ring Magician, the legendary Lord is a bit out of line with the tradition of the Magic Council, and Ravindi is the vice president of the Elemental Will, so it's not a big problem to use this title.
Lavendi narrowed his eyes, invisibly activated a spell, directly read the record of Lucian's arcane badge, and then nodded: "Evans, you come up, I think you will be the last in today's conference to give your paper." The significance of it is so great that I believe every arcanist present can understand it, and I don't need to say anything more. This 'Annual Conference of Elementals and Alchemical Magic' will go down in the annals of magic for you and your research!"
"No, Mr. Lavendi. Gaston stood up, and in the midst of everyone's puzzled eyes, he smiled, "The importance of the periodic table still needs to be clarified. I was negligent in reviewing the paper this time, so I would like to file a joint petition with Mr. Ofrey to the committee to request that the paper be re-evaluated and that Evans be given the glory, praise, points, and arcane points he deserves!"
Ofrey also stood up and nodded, indicating that he agreed.
If the assessee is not satisfied with the results of his or her paper, he or she may file a complaint with the Arcane Review Committee, as long as two of the members agree with it and submit a joint application. You will be able to re-evaluate the paper.
After witnessing the shock of the periodic table, the two old foxes, Gaston and Ofrey, decided to apply for it themselves.
On the one hand, they have made mistakes for their students, and on the other hand, they also have opponents. There are enemies who are not convinced by their reputation as authoritative in their field, and are always eager to drive them out of the Arcane Review Committee. These enemies will definitely not let go of an accident in which a "Elemental Realm Crown Level" paper is actually awarded only one arcane point and one arcane point, which is "ridiculous" assessment.
Since you can't hide it or suppress it, it's better to ask for a reassessment yourself, which shows that you are fair and humble.
Lucien took a deep breath. Take a step and pass through the aisle between the Arcanist seats.
I don't know who started first, and one after another the arcanists got up from their seats and saluted. Like a crowd welcoming in the middle of the road.
"I regret that I didn't see the value of this paper in the first place. Larry held his left chest down and bowed sincerely.
Timothy on the other side pushed his glasses: "Evans, if you put those atomic weights without experimental correction at the end of the paper, maybe I will go to you that night." Either way, this incident is a lesson for me to remember. Hehe, in the future, the matter of your thesis will definitely become a beautiful talk in the wizarding world, and Larry and I are the clowns who set off your tall image in the beautiful talk. ”
He has a straightforward sense of humor, similar to his penchant for studying explosive magic. is the opposite of his elegant and polite appearance.
"At least two of them made my paper clear. Lucien didn't have a bad impression of the two of them.
After walking a few more steps, he pinched his nose and said with some bitterness: "No matter what doubts others have, I completely believe in Evans's periodic table." In fact, I have come close to this result. The idea was abandoned due to the inability to explain the atomic weight of those elements. Bold assumptions, careful verification, are more difficult than I have always thought, and authority and experience have constrained me. ”
Supported by the discovery of new elements, Ulysses began to suspect that the atomic weights of several elements were faulty and could not be corrected due to the limitations of the measurement method.
Lucien smiled and nodded: "Mr. Ulysses, if it weren't for the revelation that your paper on the laws of the elements hated gave me, I'm afraid I wouldn't have made bold assumptions when studying the properties of the elements. ”
At this time, an arcane master who had heard the argument between Lucien and Leandru before and was not used to seeing Leandru greeted: "Mr. Evans, in the entire venue, except for Mr. Lavendi, you are the most qualified to attend the annual meeting!"
Hearing this, Leander on the half-height metal stage wanted to faint.
"Mr. Evans, welcome to the 'Annual Conference of Elements and Alchemy'. ”
"Mr. Evans, I look forward to your presentation. ”
These arcanists were not familiar with Lucian, but under the double impact and shock of the experiment and paper just now, they all made gestures of welcome and praise that were rarely seen in ordinary times.
Lucien walked up to the half-height metal podium, bowed slightly to Lavendi respectfully, and walked to the back of the podium.
"Mr. Evans, I have a question. Leanderdrew thought of something, and asked before Lucian's speech: "The discovery of this new element is too coincidental, did you discover it a long time ago, and then combined with the properties of the new element to discharge this periodic table? Only in this way can your 'guess' be so accurate." But in this case, the new element will not be able to verify the correctness of your periodic table, because it is derived from it. ”
Such suspicions are in the minds of many arcanists.
Lucien didn't answer directly, his smile inspired the Magic Array, and he pointed to the elements of the periodic table: "Let's pretend that the new elements don't exist first, and then take a closer look at the properties of the previous elements, and summarize their laws and changes in strength and weakness...... That's how my speculation came from, do you think it's logical?, and besides, any magic minerals I've purchased are documented at HQ and you can double-check if they contain new elements. ”
The regularity was obvious, and the arcanists pondered, and then Lucien pointed to several other empty seats: "In the same way, we can make predictions about these new elements, and their atomic weights may not match due to problems with the measurement method, but the properties will be as I deduced. ”
"Ladies and gentlemen, I think you have collected quite a few strange ores, why don't you want to think about which ones fit a particular description, and see if you can find new elements in the way I predicted? ”
Confident and determined, Lucian's attitude has infected most of the Arcanists, and few of them feel that they want to try it out and start thinking about their collections.
Just as they were about to propose that the meeting be disbanded for experiments, Lucien continued:
"In fact, even if there are no new elements discovered for the time being, even if there are still some details of my periodic table, can such periodic laws be denied, ladies and gentlemen?"
Without the shock of the previous experiment, it would have been difficult for the arcanists to believe in the pure summary, but when they looked at the table that seemed to contain infinite mysteries, they had to admit that the periodicity was difficult to deny!
Lucien raised his head slightly, looked around the hall, and said in a serious tone:
"The existence of periodicity of the elements will be a new beginning for the development of our elemental magic, but I think the important thing is not to be able to find and discover new elements based on it, but to make us calm down and think, for what elements will have periodic laws?"
"Since I got out of this table, I've been wondering what elements have a periodic pattern?"
The elemental realm arcanists who were still immersed in the great discovery of periodicity suddenly became extremely quiet, and the high-ranking arcanists such as Lavendi and Gaston all looked at Lucien in amazement, his question and confident and calm attitude made them seem to see the figure of His Excellency Douglas, the Speaker of the Council of Magic! )
