Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Great Arcanes

Seven days later in the evening, the restaurant.

Astar listened intently to Lucien's explanation, and with his left hand gently stroked the neck of the tiger cat Mersidis, making it comfortable to lie on the table, yawning lazily from time to time.

When Lucien finished speaking, Astar withdrew his left hand and applauded gently: "Yes, very good, in just seven days, Evans has mastered the axioms and theorems of the first part of the "Foundations of Magical Geometry", and can skillfully derive and apply them, and also connect them with the construction of figures, the outline of magic traps, etc. This speed shows that your potential in the arcane arts, even in the entire council, is among the best in the ranks. I'm very satisfied with this, and I'll give you the Brooke Meditation in advance. ”

After dinner, since he was going to leave late tonight, Astar casually asked a few basic questions about the arcane arts to investigate Lucian, and Lucian naturally answered them accurately and fluently, without the slightest mistake, winning his appreciation and praise.

Lucien smiled slightly, "Thank you, Mr. Astar, for your kindness. ”

Properly displaying one's "talent" and "potential" in arcane and psychic power can help disguise the possibility of rapid improvement in one's strength in the future. If you keep a low profile, when you are promoted to the middle and high ranks that are not much worse than those magic geniuses, it will attract suspicion, cause a lot of unnecessary trouble, or need to be painstakingly covered up.

A blank piece of paper and a quill popped out of the shadows in front of Astar, and they just floated in mid-air to write. He folded his hands together and said, "Evans, your potential in arcane arts is undoubted, so I won't examine your ability to guide the basics of arcane and magic. Hehe, a profound arcanist, a powerful magician, may not be a good teacher. ”

He was writing very fast, and as soon as he finished speaking, the floating quills on the dining table stopped. A page of white paper flew towards Lucian.

As Lucien took a closer look at the meditation method, Astar continued, "This is an improved meditation method based on the Spiritual Power Fluctuation Theory by His Excellency the Grand Arcanist Brooke, and it is suitable for the meditation environment of most factions. The four elemental meditation environments, which include the Destiny Starry Sky Meditation Environment of the Astrology System and the Elementals, are known for quickly enhancing their soul and spiritual power at the lower level, but they are not so effective after the middle level. Of course, then you will need to change to other advanced meditation methods. ”

He didn't ask for anything. It's just an emotional investment in a potential magician.

The method of refining and strengthening the spiritual power of "Brooke Meditation Method" is closely related to the concept of "spiritual waves", which is complex in theory but relatively simple to use, and is very suitable for formal magicians. Therefore, Lucien has a lot of experience after reading it, and is ready to try it tonight when it is quiet.

If its effect is really as good as Astar and Felipe said, he will not have to wait a year to become a second-ring magician, as long as he has enough knowledge to analyze and construct second-ring magic, then he can advance in one to two months.

"Mr. Astar, tonight we are leaving for the Kingdom of Holm. I'm in Alinge, and I have some questions for you. Lucien burned the paper with the meditation method written on it in his hand and looked at Astar sincerely.

Astar smiled gently, "Evans, you want to ask about the general situation of the council?"

"Yes, Mr. Astar, the unknown and the strange are always frightening. I'm about to become a member of the council, so I'm of course very concerned about the general situation of the council, such as the difference between arcanists and magicians, what organizations the council has, what factions magic is currently divided into, how many legendary mages there are, how many great arcanists, and so on. Lucien spoke out the many questions that had accumulated in his mind in one breath.

Astar smiled with some surprise: "The magician who introduced you here is really irresponsible, he didn't even say anything. Let me briefly mention that since His Excellency the Speaker proposed the concept of arcane, gradually, there have been arcane levels, which are also divided into levels one to nine, and are increased by publishing papers on arcane and magic research, creating and improving magic, proposing new magic potion recipes, and earning arcane points for the number of times people cite research results. ”

"Due to the Council's very strict review of arcane points, exploration and research are not so easy, and their own arcane knowledge often lags behind the growth of mental power, so basically every mage's magic level is higher than or equal to his arcane level. ”

"Although the arcane level seems to be useless, from hundreds of years of experience, unless you follow the path of ancient magicians who rely on various materials and rituals to frantically improve and transform their soul and spiritual power, a magician's arcane level basically determines the upper limit of his strength, for example, I am a fifth-level arcanist, which means that my current knowledge level is far from the level of being promoted to an archmage, and at most I am hovering in a high-level mage. ”

"Therefore, within the Guild, the Arcane level is a little more valued and respected than the magic level. Hehe, of course, since the magic level represents one's own strength, no one will discriminate against Mr. with a high magic level and a low arcane level in person, so it is likely to be secretly killed by all kinds of strange magic. ”

Lucien listened with relish, and then asked curiously, "A ninth-level arcanist or above is a grand arcanist, and how many grand arcanists are there in the council?"

"The Grand Arcanist is an honorary title that can only be given to those who have made theoretical contributions to the field of magic that have changed the development of magic and the times. However, since the Excellency who received this title was either a legendary mage himself, or it didn't take long for him to become a legendary mage with the full support of the council, and in the field of legendary magic, they with the title of Great Arcanist can grow faster than ordinary legendary magicians, as if there are not too many obstacles to advancement, so the title of Grand Arcanist represents the most powerful legendary magician, even if it is not now, it will definitely be in the future!"

Astar has great respect and respect for the Grand Arcanist.

Then he saw Lucian's curious eyes and chuckled softly, "There are only seven Your Excellency in the entire Council who have the title of Grand Arcanist. ”

"His Excellency Derek Douglas, creator, founder, and perfecter of the arcane and modern magic system, one of the founders of calculus, speaker of the Parliament, 'Arcane Emperor' and 'Elect of Magic'. ”

"His Excellency Edwin Brooke, the pioneer and perfecter of electromagnetic magic, the definer of the 'field', and the 'poetry of the goddess'. ”

The ancient Magic Empire described the essence of magic as a goddess.

"Both of them are the pinnacle powerhouses of the legendary magic realm, and they are great names who can dominate the entire world. It's only a little worse than a pope who can use the power of 'God'. ”

"Then there is the 'Hand of Annihilation' Oliver Constantine, who redefined the four elements and linked them to force field magic and electromagnetic magic. ”

"One of the founders of calculus, redefined and categorized elements. Explains most of the elemental magic, and discovers the 'Elemental Dominator' of the seventeen elements other than the common ones, Lord Jarolan, Hathaway Hoffenberg. Although her legendary profession is still an ancient name, it is very different in substance. ”

"The Storm Master Fernando Balista who separated the concept of hot and cold and created the 'Storm Master' of heat magic. ”

"The discoverer of the law of conservation of energy, the perfecter of calculus, the 'Ice Witch' H.E. Helen Paris. Her legendary profession is also very different from the ancient name. ”

"His Excellency Vicente Miranda, who has solved some of the mysteries of the soul and preliminarily entered the study of the human body, has entered the small field of 'Lord of the Revenant' Vicente Miranda"

Astar only briefly introduced the seven Grand Arcanists, without mentioning the magic they were good at, their personalities, etc. Then he concluded: "At the same time, they are also the seven most powerful of the eighteen legendary magicians in the council, and it seems that without making a contribution to the development of magic and the times, and without obtaining the title of Grand Arcanist, there is no way to break through some obstacles in the field of legendary magic in one or two hundred years." ”

"There are only eighteen legendary magicians in the council?" Lucien said subconsciously.

Astar sneered, "What do you mean only? Even if the Southern Church is not counting the Epic Knights, there are only twenty legendary spellcasters, and they are the strongest organizations in the entire world and other different dimensions. Of course. There are also several legendary magicians of the ancient lineage who have not joined the council. ”

"It's that I don't know enough. Lucien smiled self-deprecatingly, "These eighteen legendary magicians are at the top of the council?"

Astar shook his head: "Seven Grand Arcanists, eleven Legendary Mages, and six Nine-Ring Archmages with very high arcane level and the strongest strength together form the Supreme Council of Magic. Decide all the important matters of the council. ”

Before Lucien asked, Astar continued: "At present, in addition to the eight factions of force field, elemental, necromancy, summoning, alchemy, astrology, illusion, and change, there are also new electromagnetic systems, heat systems, and the 'light and dark systems' that try to explain holy light and shadows with magic. Before the High Rank, there was nothing to study all the factions at the same time, but after reaching the High Level, as the knowledge required to master grew, each mage would choose to concentrate on a few of them. Evans: If you want to be ambitious, it's best to focus on your studies before the advanced level. ”

"Thank you for your advice, Mr. Astar. "Lucien actually wants to follow the path of the whole archmage, but the advice of a high-level mage still needs to be followed.

Astar talked a lot about the common sense of the Magic Council, and when he saw that the night was already dark, he coughed lightly and said: "There are indeed many large and small organizations within the Council, you don't have to worry about the small ones, just remember the big ones, there are four national royal magic courts, the Wizard's House, the Tower, the Elemental Will, the Pale Hand, Palmeira's Hut, and the Silver Moon Song Alliance, they more or less master the advanced rituals of the legendary professions, and even a few legendary professions are unique, not even the council." ”

"Actually, Evans, as long as you concentrate on your studies and studies, and obey the arrangements of the council, you don't need to care about those organizations. ”

He seems to be a pure parliamentarian.

Lucien nodded and smiled, "No one likes trouble and whirlpools. ”

"Ha Lu Ha. Astar smiled gently, "It's not too early, you go back and get ready, Tom will take you out." By the way, when it comes to the Magic Council, periodicals and low-level materials, magic, etc. can be purchased with money, but the more special and high-level ones need Arcane Points, which are obtained together when obtaining Arcane Points, and can also be obtained by selling magic items, intelligence, etc. to the Council and completing the Council's quests. ”

Lucien moved the corners of his mouth, virtual currency, more advanced than paper money, and then said goodbye politely: "Mr. Astar, thank you for your explanation, I want to go and see how the three apprentices I am in charge of supervising are doing." (To be continued.) )
