——I wrote more than 4,000 words, which exceeded expectations, and I was afraid that everyone would be in a hurry, so I had to post the draft first, and then change it.

Swan Lake, Rose Manor.

Towards the second half of the day, each speaker received a round of applause, and they talked about the time after presenting their papers and the comments of the high-level magicians, helping them to refine their research results, and also inspiring some of the arcanists, among which Larry's research and definition of the atomic valence state after lunch was the most enthusiastic and responsive part of the whole conference.

Due to the large number of arcanists who need to talk about their research results, the meeting is very tightly arranged, otherwise five days will not be able to satisfy their enthusiasm, so even after four o'clock in the afternoon, there are still many arcanists waiting in line, and today's meeting is far from the end.

The yellow-haired, ordinary-looking but muscular Ulysses stepped onto the podium, activated the magic circle that revealed the vision, and began to share with the other arcanists the results of his research during this time: the critical temperature of the gas discovered while trying to improve the five-ring magic "Gaston Poison Mist" into the form of a water arrow, that is, if the temperature is exceeded, the gas will not liquefy no matter how much the pressure is increased.

This discovery was quite novel and effective in guiding the improvement of the magical structure, and basically all the arcanists were interested and listened very carefully, even if Lucien knew the theory, but it could be verified by Ulysses, it showed that it was suitable for this otherworldly realm, and Lucian was most concerned about how the basic theory was mapped to the details of the magical construction.

At that moment, a tawny owl flew in, landed on the table in front of Gaston, and gently pecked the back of Gaston's hand, who was listening intently to Ulysses' speech.

As the famous "postman" of the Elemental Will, the magicians and knights who guarded the gate knew that he was Matthew of the Gaston Governor's family, so they did not stop him.

Gaston laughingly withdrew his hand. He touched the feathers on Matthew's back, then took off the papers he was hanging from and set them aside. Prepare to wait until the end of today's meeting to arrange for someone to review.

Matthew was followed by a budgie that hovered proudly over Lavendi's head for two weeks before staying, with several papers also hanging from its chest.

At the same time, several other birds flew in. Fell in front of the other three members of the Arcane Review Committee, bringing the papers assigned to them, but they were not in a hurry. Not to mention that it is disrespectful to Ulysses who gave the above lecture to assign or review now, just some papers that require complex experimental arguments may take a month or two to be reviewed, and there is no need to rush - big people like them never let the review work disturb their research, magic practice, and life, unless it is a very important paper.

As Ulysses explained in depth, the other arcanists became more and more focused, only the ninth-level arcanist and nine-ring magician Ravendi was a little laid-back. Because he is Ulysses's teacher, he has read this article carefully after passing the review, and the content has long been thoroughly mastered.

After listening for a while while as if he had nothing to do, Lavendi picked up a few papers in front of his pet and flipped through them. Let's look at the thesis title in turn.

Suddenly, a striking title jumped into his eyes: "A new element discovered according to the periodic table and its determination".

The meaning of this title made Lavendi frown, "found according to the periodic table" means that this periodic table has a guiding role, and what does this mean, as a ninth-level arcanist, a nine-ring magician, and a big man who has studied the laws of the elements, Lavendi knows it very well!

Pulling out the paper, Lavendi looked at it carefully, and when he looked at it, his face suddenly changed, and the loud voice of Ulysses from the podium through the amplification magic array seemed to disappear completely.

The paper in his hand turned to the last page, but Lavendi's gaze did not take off for a long time, and then he used strong self-control to keep himself calm, and turned his head to signal Rebecca, who was in charge of the reception, to come over.

Rebecca listened carefully to Ulysses' speech, keeping an eye on the Arcanists—she was careful not to make any more mistakes after being reprimanded by Leandrew.

As soon as her gaze made contact with Lavendi's dark gray eyes, Rebecca straightened her back as if she had been struck by lightning, and then walked to Lavendi's side with trepidation, Your Excellency, What is the matter?

"Find me the paper "On the Periodic Relationship between the Properties of Elements and Their Atomic Weights and the Prediction of Some New Elements" by Lucien Evans? X。 Lavendi commanded succinctly.

When Rebecca heard this name, which seemed to be cursed today, she subconsciously looked at Lucien who was standing with Lazar in the corner, could he be X? Could it be that the paper angered Mr. Lavendi? Mr. Lavendi's face was not very good!

A series of questions arose, but there was only one Lucien Evans at Douglas School of Witchcraft and Wizardry at the time, and Rebecca couldn't really be sure if the distinguishing letter was an X, so she had to recall the name of the paper, which sounded familiar.

"Mr. Lavendi, this paper is on the last few pages of the journal Elements in your hand. Soon, Rebecca abruptly spoke, with a hint of joy in her tone, that she would certainly be commended for being able to accomplish Mr. Lavendi's request so smoothly and simply, and that she would be able to make up for her mistakes a little.

Fortunately, the title of this paper is long enough to make an impression by flipping through it when you distribute it.

Hearing this, Lavendi did not lose his demeanor and turned the "Elemental" journal directly to the last article, and muttered in his mouth: "The review arcanists of the "Elemental" journal are not always stupid. ”

This is a famous quote of praise from the Storm Master, and Lavendi was unable to maintain his self-cultivation in his agitated mood, and learned to say it, although his cultivation was only slightly better than that of the Storm Master.

Without the words that Vice President Lavendi could leave, Rebecca continued to stand beside him, and then peeked at his face and the paper in his hand with strong curiosity, why did His Excellency Vice President suddenly want to find this paper, is there anything strange or important about it?

Not daring to look too obviously, Rebecca could not get a clear glimpse of the main content of the paper, but she was surprised to find that Mr. Lavendi's face had become unusually solemn. This made her panic and frightened, could it be that something big was about to happen?

"If you don't take into account the atomic weight ...... of the elements for which no experimental data has been given," Lavendi muttered to himself, then quickly turned to Rebecca and said, "Give me these elements to purify...... This is what he lacks in his alchemy hut for a while.

After speaking. He spoke a little faster and instructed the budgie "Harry": "Go and buy some amphibole mines from Odonko, the grandson of the grizzly bear, and come back as soon as possible." Harry. You can't be lazy. ”

"Am I like a lazy gentleman?" Harry muttered dissatisfiedly, his voice round and beautiful, and then spread his wings and flew away.

Rebecca didn't understand Lavendi's request. However, after telling the other low-level magicians to pay attention to the situation of the venue, she hurried to the second floor of the main house of the manor.

The other arcanists were listening intently to Ulysses' speech. I didn't even notice what was going on here, because things like ordering the low-level magician next to me to take some white paper and serve a cup of black tea appeared from time to time.

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

Ulysses finished his speech, and then had an in-depth discussion with the arcanists who asked the questions, and when he left the podium, there was a round of applause, and most of the arcanists felt that they had just gained a lot,

The applause died down slowly. Ulysses bowed again, and Leander looked around at the arcanist seated below, ready to invite the next speaker.

But suddenly, he saw His Excellency the Vice President stand up without warning, and walk up to the half-height metal platform with a slightly hurried pace.

The surprised gazes of all the Arcanists were cast on Lavendi. I wonder why he did this, could it be that something big had happened, or that Mr. Lavendi was inspired by the paper speech he just had?

Leandrew's courage to stop a nine-ring magician with many prominent identities from standing on the podium and opening the Scene Magic Array, taking his alchemy hut out of the space storage bag and enlarging it into an exquisite and complete magic laboratory.

"Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to disrupt the arrangements of the venue. Lavendi tried to make her voice less excited, after all, she still needs to test it by herself, "Please turn to the last paper in the journal Elemental." ”

The puzzled arcanists opened the journal "Elements" one after another, only Igna, who was sitting in the middle, suddenly broke down in a cold sweat, his hands trembled, and his heart beat violently, could it be that His Excellency the Vice President wanted to scold himself for letting papers of insufficient standards be included in the journal, but is there any need to be so formal, such a big scene?!

The title "On the Periodic Relationship between the Properties of Elements and Their Atomic Weights and the Prediction of Some New Elements" jumped into the eyes of the arcanists, and both Larry and Timothy frowned slightly, because this was the paper they were reviewing, and what was Mr. Lavendi going to do when he proposed it alone?

The author's name and Arcanist rank also made Larry think about it, and he glanced back at Lucian: "Is it his paper?

Lucien looked at Lavendi suspiciously, what had happened? Could it be that Mr. Lavendi had found a paper that could be filled in the periodic table?

A sense of anticipation suddenly came to my heart.

"Mr. Lavendi, this periodic table is interesting and has obvious regularity, but his prediction of the atomic weight error is a little unconvincing. After watching quietly for a while, another member of the Arcane Review Committee, the Eight-Ring Arcanist and the Eight-Ring Magician Loclinne, was the first to question, and the other Arcanists all looked almost the same.

Seeing that everyone had basically skimmed through the paper, Lavendi raised his voice: "Please skip the elements such as Temirik first, and let's look at the back." ”

As he spoke, he took out the purification element, opened the alchemy array in his magic laboratory, etc., purified it again, and then measured the data one by one in the eyes of everyone.

Timothy and the other arcanists were puzzled, but Lavendi was an authoritative gentleman, so they quietly watched him conduct experiments on the spot.

One by one, the atomic weight data was corrected by several new methods, and the faces of the four members of the Arcane Review Committee, including Gaston, Ofrey, Loclinne, and Lydia, began to be solemn, and they picked up the quill and recorded something, and the other magicians also clearly showed shock, it is not surprising that the atomic weight is wrong, but it is an unbelievable thing that the correct atomic weight after correction can be perfectly filled in the periodic table.

Larry and Timothy rubbed their foreheads at the same time, they should have verified the data first, where to find the described magic ore to satisfy their intense curiosity, anticipation, and vibrations that seemed to be about to explode.

Ulysses looked at the periodic table as if in a daze, and what he had given up three weeks earlier because he had discovered the critical temperature of the gas seemed so unfamiliar.

With the end of the more than forty minutes of the experiment of the archmage Lavendi, most of the arcanists began to pay attention to the paper in their hands, but they were equally contradictory and confused, and Ulysses was the first to speak: "Mr. Lavendi, these atomic weight corrections are not conclusive evidence, because the atomic weights in the previous part are difficult to explain. ”

"Why is it not that we have the means to be unpredictable?" said Lavendi, for his reasons.

Ofrey shook his head: "This can only be hypothetical, there is no data to suggest that Lavendi is right for the time being." ”

When it comes to arcane research, it is difficult to convince most arcanists without conclusive evidence.

Leandrew's negative impression was inevitably left in his heart when he saw the abominable name, and he also interjected at this time: "Mr. Lavendi, this is just a fairy-tale conjecture of a first-class arcanist. ”

Lavendi was about to make his point when a budgie "Harry" flew outside the manor, with a magic vessel hanging from it.

Lavendi laughed, "Ladies and gentlemen, let's begin a wonderful experiment. ”

Removing the magic vessel and the few amphibole ores inside, Lavendi took the most convenient way to separate the matter according to the description of Woods's paper, unlike Woods who separated it after several attempts, avoiding wasting time.

After the matter was separated, Lavendi said to all the Arcanists, "This is a magical mineral with characteristics similar to those described in the Periodic Table treatise. ”

Gaston, Loclinne, Gary, Jurisse, and all the other arcanists vaguely guessed what was going to happen, and they held their breath as they watched with excitement as Lavendi put the separated substance into the beamsplitter.

By this time, the night when winter had come early, had darkened and blurred the outside, and the beautiful spectrum was clearly displayed in the eyes of every arcanist.

The unprecedented spectral lines, like a fire burning their eyes and hearts, are really new elements!

Lavendi didn't say much, and opened the corresponding magic array to purify the new element.

Guided by the right approach, in a quiet and oppressive hall, Lavendi quickly extracted the silvery-white crystal.

The night outside was pitch dark, and the atmosphere in the hall was tense.

Ravendi began to measure the atomic weight of the new element, and one by one the magic arrays opened, as if a bright light shone into the heart of each arcanist.

"The new element has an atomic weight of 69.8. Lavendi said solemnly, he had great confidence in the correctness of the paper.

The arcanists bowed their heads in unison, looking at the corresponding column of the papers.

"The atomic weight of this aluminum-like element is 68~70. ”

It was as if lightning had erupted in their minds, and then Raven's first data and property determination reverberated in their minds as if thunder had reverberated in their minds.

What does this mean, how could Larry and other elemental realm arcanists who are qualified to participate in the annual conference not be able to think of it!

They were so hot that their blood was boiling, and they couldn't calm down and say anything.

Larry tapped on the podium, calming the arcanists a little.

He said in a voice that bordered on roaring:

"I don't think it's necessary to dwell on the significance of this paper!"

"The question is, Lucien Evans? Who is Mr. X and where is he?!" (To be continued.) )
