Morning of February 7, Roland 78, Flamel.

More than 300 high-level alchemists gathered at the Alchemy Society's lecture venue, where a legendary-level alchemy results conference was about to begin.

Affected by the assassination a few days ago and the tense atmosphere of this year's civil war, Flamel took the security of the press conference very seriously.

The Alchemy Society is guarded by three outer layers of the Flamomel Knights, and every guest present is carefully checked for identity, and no retinue is allowed to enter the Society.

At the same time, each area of the venue has its own special spell barrier, which can prevent someone from suddenly attacking in the middle of the meeting.

Although these strict security measures this year have caused many people to be dissatisfied, such as the inability to bring an entourage will make many people's daily movements a little inconvenient, and the raising of a spell barrier in the venue may affect the view of the stage......

However, under the persuasion of Fang Xiaozhi of the society and his emotion, everyone finally obeyed the rules of the society, and no one was absent in the end.

At this moment, at nine o'clock in the morning, the alchemy conference began on time under the bell.

As Bach walked onto the stage with the directors of the Alchemy Society, the noise in the auditorium quickly fell silent.

Although Bach is not a legendary alchemist, he is the lord of the alchemy city of Flamel and the president of the headquarters of the Alchemy Society, and his voice and influence are probably better than those of legendary alchemists.

"At the beginning of the new year, thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedules to visit Flamel for this special alchemy launch event......"

Bach spoke an opening remark and then cut to the chase.

“…… According to the project report submitted by the Linfeng City branch some time ago, we found that Master Nolan has completed a super-grade research achievement.

In the field of magic circles, he independently invented a new style of runes that are completely different from the existing rune system, and if the circle is drawn with new runes, its size will be qualitatively reduced compared to the traditional magic circle.

Based on the results of this new rune system, Master Nolan created a new type of magic guide with practical properties.

"After internal discussions within the Alchemy Society, this super-grade research result has become mature and practical, so it has been determined that its inventor Nolan Wieses is eligible to apply for the title of legendary alchemist.

"So we held this alchemy results conference, and in this public meeting, we will make a final review of the research results.

"This will be a meeting that will go down in history, and everyone present is invited to vote carefully on the outcome of this meeting in accordance with the principles of fairness......

"Then, the Society will invite Master Nolan Wiess to present your research results to everyone present."

As he spoke, Bach leaned sideways and extended his hand to Noren in the stage preparation area.

"Come on."

Yuna, Arand and the others on the side all smiled and cheered him on, Nolan nodded, took a deep breath, and then walked forward steadily.

The protagonist appeared on the stage, and there was sparse applause in the venue, and more people looked him up and down with suspicion, although not so much that they were not overwhelmed, but they did not show much enthusiasm.

This is also a matter of course, Nolan has no background and no past achievements, just like an anonymous person who jumped out of a crack in a stone, and he is probably not as old as the children of everyone present.

If someone else had told them that such a hairy boy would become a legendary alchemist in the annals of history, they would surely forget it as a joke.

It was only with the guarantee of such a powerful force in the academic world as the Alchemy Society, that they came to the meeting with half a doubt, and on this basis, they wanted to make them enthusiastic...... Then don't even think about it.

Especially after seeing Nolan himself with his own eyes, it was really a rather young alchemist as stated in the intelligence, and many people shook their heads again and again, and the suspicion between their eyebrows was even heavier.

How much ink can be put in the melon in the head of such a young student?

Nolan was mentally prepared for the not very enthusiastic scene in front of him, and he stood in front of the loudspeaker in the center of the stage without changing his face, and bowed slightly to everyone:

"When we first met, I was Noren Vises, an alchemist from Peak City.

"I need to take a little bit of your time to introduce my alchemy results, which is a new rune system that can reduce the area of the traditional magic circle by dozens of times......"

He had rehearsed this opening remark many times in his heart, but before he could finish speaking, there was a sudden "drip" sound in the audience.

Someone pressed the "speak" button in their position, but it stands to reason that it is not an interactive link now, and it is not appropriate to press the speak button at this time.

This "drop" interrupted Nolan's words, and also made the eyes of everyone present move to him.

A middle-aged man in a green robe with a proud expression stood up from his seat and sneered:

"I thought it was a mistake in the intelligence, but I didn't expect the society to really hold a results conference for a little ghost who didn't even have a hair, what a joke!

"Looking at your resume, you have become an official alchemist for less than half a year, and you have not even been promoted to a senior alchemist, and you still want to become a legend like this, I think the society and you are simply crazy!

"You are willing to mess around with these crazy people, I won't accompany you, if the Alchemy Society continues to degenerate like this...... Hmph, I don't think it's far from the end! ”

As he spoke, he left the table directly, holding his head high and brushing his sleeves away.

Seeing that some people left the seats as soon as the show began, the discussion in the audience suddenly became louder.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, if someone really doesn't believe in the gimmick of the society, then they won't participate in this conference in the first place;

And those who are willing to participate in the press conference will not rush to draw conclusions without even seeing the research results.

I am afraid that this commotion was secretly planned by someone, as for why......

If anyone who pays attention to the recent situation will know that the person leaving the table is a high-level alchemist belonging to Shattered Star City.

Shattered Star City has been at odds with Peak City and Flamel recently because of the killing of the emissary, and it seems that it is not without reason to want to obstruct the meeting.

Just removing the issue of stance, he is indeed not unreasonable.

Judging by Nolan's young age and brief resume, it was impossible for him to become a legendary alchemist.

This point, even the high-level alchemists of the Great Prince's camp who are willing to support him are skeptical and cannot refute it.

Just as hostile alchemists can't oppose him without any grounds, they can't support Nolan when it's clear that they're not in place.

What's more, they hadn't even met Noren before this, and they didn't even know his details, so naturally they couldn't fully trust him.

In the face of the commotion caused by someone leaving the table angrily, Nolan's expression was still calm, and he smiled easily:

"It's clear that this colleague is here to cause trouble. If he had said this sincerely, I could only regret that he had gone the wrong way in his thinking.

"The alchemy community has always advocated that there is no order of learning, and those who have attained it are teachers, and if we only rely on seniority to judge everyone's abilities and achievements, the entire alchemy world will become a backwater, and it will be difficult for alchemy to make progress.

"Today we have gathered together for alchemy, and what we are talking about should also be the results of alchemy. If you talk about him left and right, and use this to attack the resumes and life experiences of others in the meeting, I think it is a manifestation of a ghost in my heart.

"Why, is it possible that once alchemy itself is discussed, some people are speechless and willing to bow down?"

As soon as these words came out, the audience couldn't help but be quiet for a while, and the middle-aged man in the green robe who had already walked to the door of the conference room suddenly turned around and glared at Nolan with eyes as if he was about to eat people.

In the box on the second floor, Fred, the chief alchemist of the palace, couldn't help but smile when he saw Noren's response with a gun and a stick:

"Dare to speak harshly in front of so many people, this kid is so daring."

Although this stumbling block from Shattered Star City could not stop the meeting, it could give Nolan a dismount and disrupt the rhythm of his speech.

Young alchemists may be talented, but they usually have little life experience, and being questioned in public is likely to mess up and affect their subsequent performance.

But Noren was not only unaffected, but also mocked the other party in turn, isn't this another manifestation of talent?

"Of course, I welcome any of my peers to discuss alchemy with me, but if it's too shallow, I won't respond."

Nolan is still outing, "If there is anyone here who has the same attitude and ideas as this gentleman, you better get out of here now as soon as possible, so that I don't have to pick people up one by one later." ”

Just kidding, every enemy who goes against him is equivalent to giving away a vote of abstention for nothing, and he wishes that the more people who leave, the better!

“…… Nobody's leaving, right? ”

After waiting for a few seconds, Nolan shrugged his shoulders regretfully, "Then I will start to introduce my alchemy results, and then please speak according to the rules, thank you for your cooperation." ”

At the critical moment, people have to show a little momentum, otherwise they will really teach others to look down.

Moreover, it is not a bluff that he can be comfortable on the field, he does have real alchemy results.

In the face of undoubted strength, these doubts and dirty water are as worthless as pebbles on the side of the road, and he will not take them to heart at all.

As he spoke, the commotion in the venue gradually subsided, and his fearless attitude calmed the scene at least temporarily.

A young and beautiful maid then walked up with a large blackboard with a two-meter-sized circle pedestal hanging from it.

"As you can see, this is a second-order 'acceleration' circle drawn using the traditional rune system, and it is two meters long and wide, which is also the common size of a second-order circle."

Nolan pointed to the huge base of the circle with the whip in his hand, "Originally, the acceleration circle could be applied to many fields, but due to the limitation of its size, its application range has been greatly reduced.

"To solve this problem, I have invented a new rune system, and with the new form of magic circles drawn by this rune system, we can reduce its size to this extent-"

As he spoke, he took out a flat box about 30 centimeters long and wide from the back of the blackboard, opened it, and hung it next to the traditional magic circle.

The drawing in this box is also a cyan wind array, and the complexity of these runes on the array is obviously much more profound than the runes of the traditional magic circle on the side!

"Thirty centimeters, that's right, if you use a new rune, you only need thirty centimeters to draw this "acceleration" circle!"

Nolan said loudly, "It's not just 'acceleration', I dare to guarantee that all circles of the same class can achieve this size, because the new rune system has been studied very maturely.

"Moreover, this size is far from the limit of the new magic circle...... I hope that you will think carefully about how much practical value this research can bring. ”

The auditorium fell completely silent, and everyone craned their necks and looked at the blackboard with incredible eyes.

If it was said that the two-meter-long traditional magic circle could be reduced to a new thirty-centimeter magic circle on paper, they still had an unrealistic sense of fantasy in their hearts.

But at this moment, I saw the entity of the new magic circle on the spot, especially when the two-meter traditional magic circle and the thirty-centimeter new magic circle were displayed side by side-

They finally felt the shock visually.

The length and width of the entire new magic circle are almost one-seventh of the traditional magic circle, and the total area together has a difference of more than forty times.

At first glance, it looked as small as a fragment of a traditional circle.

It's hard to imagine that these two things with a huge difference in size could end up inspiring the same spell.

Seeing that everyone present had not recovered from the shock, Nolan then snapped his fingers and hit the railroad while it was hot:

"In order to prove to you that this new magic circle can indeed be activated smoothly, I also brought experimental instruments to the scene."

The maid on the side then pushed out a mobile test table, and he removed the base of the new magic circle from the blackboard and put it into the circle structure warehouse on the test table.

"As you can see, this is the most common experimental device in the magic circle experiment, which contains three basic parts: the magic circle structure chamber, the magic power source, and the control switch."

Noren explained, "There's a crossbow launcher on the right side of the bench, and a fixed target on the left, and that's how they work without any outside interference—"

As he spoke, he pressed the switch on the dispenser, and a small crossbow shot out, piercing straight into the fixed target on the opposite side.

"The bolt sank three centimeters into the fixed target." Nolan measured the data in public, then switched to a new target and reloaded the launcher with a crossbow bolt.

"Now, I'm going to activate this new 'acceleration' circle for the transmitter—"

Noren turned on the magic guide control switch on the experimental table, and with a "buzz", a cyan magic circle immediately unfolded.

Then, he flicked the switch on the bolt launcher again, and a small bolt shot out of it.

"Wow!"

Witnessed by everyone on the scene, the crossbow bolt fired suddenly accelerated after passing through this cyan magic circle, and finally hit the fixed target, this time it was almost completely submerged into the filler of the target!

"As you can see, the new 'Acceleration' circle has been activated without a hitch."

Looking at the momentary silence of the audience, Nolan smiled and bowed, "And, I think based on the results of this experiment, it should have full practical value." ”

Thanks for the tip
