Chapter Ninety-Five: Serendipity

"A copy of The Wizard's Monthly. Sula came to the Mage Guild and said to the front desk.

Today was the time for the latest issue of the Wizarding Monthly, so Sulla came over early in the morning to buy it. At this time, there was no post office, so there was no subscription to be delivered directly to your home.

Of course, if you are a high-level mage, you can also get this treatment, but Sura is just an ordinary member of the many mages on Moshacher Island, and can only do it herself.

One of the apprentices at the front desk took a copy of the magazine and handed it to Sulla, and asked, "The Witcher magazine has been published, do you need one?"

"The Witcher? Is there any major discovery lately? The Witcher has also been published. Sula was a little surprised, "The Witcher" is one of the top journals in the wizarding world, and the requirements for papers are very strict, so most of the time it is not enough to publish enough papers to publish a magazine, resulting in the publication time of "The Witcher" is not fixed.

In many cases, two issues are published in three days, because there are too many papers received at one time, so they can only be published in two issues, but in the distance, even one issue is published in three or four months. However, in general, The Witcher magazine tries to ensure that it is published at least once every three or four months, and at least four times a year.

"The Witcher", "Electromagnetism", "Elements", and "Life" are known as the four major periodicals, and the publication time is not fixed, but only "The Witcher" is comprehensive, and the other three books all have their own focus, the same as the name. It stands to reason that "The Witcher" has a wider range of papers and should be better published, but generally papers in the other three directions will be submitted to the other three more professional magazines, and the requirements of the Witcher are higher, resulting in "The Witcher" becoming the most difficult magazine to publish.

The last time Sulla saw "The Witcher" published was three months ago, and I thought I would have to wait a little longer, but I didn't expect it to come out on time.

The apprentice at the front desk said: "I heard that the Witcher's magazine committee wanted to wait another month for the content of the publication that had not yet reached the content of the publication, and it is said that a magazine submitted to the Wizarding Monthly was well received by the Supreme Council, and the Wizard committee transferred the paper to the Wizard magazine, which just met the magazine's publication requirements." ”

"Fake, right?" said Sula's face full of incredulity, "Although the Wizard Monthly is the magazine under the Wizard, the difference between the two is too great. ”

"The Witcher" is too high-end, so it later set up a subordinate magazine, called "The Wizard Monthly", although it is also a comprehensive magazine, but the inclusion standard of "Monthly" is much lower, so it can almost be a veritable monthly magazine. Although the two magazines are one and the same, the positioning is completely different, and it is hard for Sulla to believe that the magazine submitted to the "Monthly" can meet the inclusion standards of "The Witcher".

If a paper has this level, even if the author has doubts, it will be submitted to a better journal and not to a low-end journal.

"I've heard from other people, too, that he has a companion who works for The Witcher magazine, and I don't know if it's true or not, it's all hearsay. Would you like to have a copy?"

"Give me a copy and see what the latest discoveries are, I don't know when the next issue will be. Sula said.

After buying two magazines, Sulla purchased some more magic materials and looked at them as she walked. She listened to the introduction of the magic apprentice, and although she didn't think it was possible, she became interested in The Witcher.

In fact, although the wizard's paper above is significant, it is not too difficult to understand, just like the three laws of mechanics summarized by Isaac, although it is of great significance to the spells of the stance system, but it is very simple to understand, but it is not easy to discover.

So even if the other party doesn't recommend it just now, if Sula knows that "The Witcher" has been published, he will buy a copy and read it, whether it is consistent with his own research direction or not, and it can be regarded as keeping up with the latest research trends.

Although she was reading the papers in "The Witcher", Sula didn't know that her focus had slowly changed, and it became to see if these papers were in line with "The Witcher", and she really had some thoughts about this in her heart for some reason. Maybe I think it's more interesting, but the study of magic is a bit boring, so I want to have some fun.

There is nothing special about the previous papers, and it can't be said that the level of each paper published in "The Witcher" can be guaranteed, and Sulla feels that she has indeed learned a lot, but these papers are very in line with the level of "The Witcher", until she returned home, read most of the magazine, and found nothing.

Although she really wanted to see if the apprentice's rumors were true, she didn't want to go through them quickly, so she had to read them one by one in order, which was a bit of a cover-up.

Sula dragged a stool into the sun, the sun was actually scorching this season, but Sula didn't care, she released a frost armor on her body, and the temperature around her immediately dropped. This is actually the same as many people covering the quilt to blow the air conditioner, although it is a little wasteful, but it is really comfortable.

Soon, her thesis was at the end, and then she saw Kaichi's thesis, a work on bats and magic like sound. In fact, the nature of sound has been studied almost now, since the discovery of air, and the need for sound to travel in the medium, resulting in a greatly reduced effect of sonic magic, now, almost no one studies sonic magic.

Originally, sonic spells were known for their convenience and difficulty in defending, and they were very popular at the time, and ordinary mage shields could not effectively defend against sonic spells. Unfortunately, it was later discovered that the transmission of sound waves requires a medium, and as long as a vacuum layer is added to the periphery of the spell shield, then the sound cannot be transmitted.

From then on, sonic spells were almost useless. At the beginning, there were still mages who wanted to find a new way out for sonic spells, but unfortunately they all failed, and they couldn't avoid the vacuum level anyway. Later, there were fewer and fewer mages studying sonic spells, and eventually even the study of sonic waves stopped.

Now, Sulla was surprised to see a study on sound waves, could it be that the research on vacuum has made progress and can break through the shield of the vacuum.

Sulla began to read the paper carefully, only to realize that it was not a magical study of damage, but a different way of using sound for detection. However, the discussion part of the paper explained in detail how to experiment and how to reach conclusions, and she was surprised by the degree of logical rigor.

"It's a good paper, but it's not a good idea to be published in The Witcher. Sulla said to herself, "Oh, and the comments, it's Magnay's comments, creative, inspiring, this evaluation is not low, and this, the essay template for junior and intermediate mages, what kind of evaluation is this? ”

In the end, the Witcher magazine committee commented that the paper gave a new direction for the study of sound, and the discussion was rigorous, and Master Magnay gave a strong recommendation, so the committee decided to put the paper that was originally submitted to the "Monthly" to "The Witcher" for publication, which was also just right to be put together, so as not to delay the publication too long.

Of course, the last sentence was surmised by Sulla himself.

For Jiayi's paper to be published in "The Wizard", Sula can only express envy and jealousy, if there is an ordinary mage who can publish a paper in the four major journals, it can be blown for almost a lifetime. Sula was already a white-robed mage, but he had never published a paper in one of the four major journals. Even the slightly lower Prophecies and Mathematics do not.

Now that such a paper can be published in "The Witcher", although there are many reasons given, Sulla still feels that the quality of the paper is slightly insufficient.
