This time, the library djinn Alex did not quickly give the name of the book or paper, but hesitated for a few seconds and asked: "Mr. Evans, do you also need the data and speculation that were proven wrong?"
"Of course, as an elemental magician, I want to have a clear and complete impression of the development of elemental magic after the arcane concept was proposed. Whether it is proven wrong or something is certain, it has the value of research and exploration.
At least you can avoid making the same mistake, right?" Lucien said his true thoughts.
The short old man next to him once again let out a lewd chuckle: "If you just want to have a complete impression of the development of elemental magic, then I recommend you "History of Elemental Magic", a book edited by the great arcanists and revised every ten years.
Once, the last time was four years ago, similar ones include "History of Necromantic Magic", "History of Astrological Magic"... "The Complete History of Arcana and Magic"."
"I told you earlier that we had these books..." Lucien said with a helpless expression.
Next to him, Alex had already announced the title of the book:
""History of Elemental Magic", author, Supreme Council."
""The New System of Elements", author, Grand Arcanist Yarolan Hathaway Hoffenberg."
"The Theory of Atoms and Molecules, by the Grand Arcanist Oliver Constantine."
""A Review of Several Atomic Weight Determination Methods and the Latest Atomic Table" and "The Eight-Medium Table of Elements", author: Grand Arcanist Fernando Ballista."
""The Multiplication Relationship in Magic Potion Experiments" and "The Spiral Pattern of Atomic Weights", author, ninth-level arcanist Laventi."
""Common Characteristics of Certain Metallic Elements and Ideas for Improving Corresponding Magic"..., author, seventh-level arcanist Gaston."
…
""Discussing the rules between elements based on common characteristics and making guesses"..., author, fourth-level arcanist Ulysses."
""Comparison of Properties and Atomic Weight Determination of Mithril and Silver"..., written by Timothy, a fourth-level arcanist."
…
""Determination of the Properties of the New Element 'Mo'", author, Level 4 Arcanist Meredith."
…………
The titles of books or papers reported by Alex are not all the latest, but are listed from large to small, from system to commonality to individual elements according to Lucien's requirements. Many of the properties of elements are included.
The determination was done decades ago.
"Haha, there is a paper by Mr. Ulysses and his colleagues." After Lucien heard the name of Ulysses' paper, his heart moved, and he turned his head and smiled at Lazar.
Lazar was not afraid this time, but was full of admiration and honor: "Yes, this is a paper written by Mr. Ulysses when he was a first-level arcanist. Although his discussion on the properties of elements
and predictions were overturned by newly discovered elements later, but it caused a sensation at the time. His ideas that were not bound by inherent thinking and his bold guesses were amazing, leading many arcanists to invest in the exploration of the laws of elements, and even
Including the Grand Arcanist Mr. Balista and the ninth-level arcanist Mr. Laventi, if Mr. Hathaway hadn't been exploring the alien space at the time, he might have joined this group."
"Judging from the title of the book and thesis, it seems that there is no conclusive thing about the laws of elements." Lucien took the opportunity to ask a point that he was concerned about.
"Because they have all been overthrown."
The speaker was a short old man in a bright red robe. His expression was rare and serious, "Since spectral analysis was introduced to the discovery of new elements, the types of elements have increased by nearly ten. Their appearance has changed the previous arcanists' understanding of the laws of elements.
Several inferences and predictions have all been overturned. There were many introductions to this aspect in books and papers just now. Young people, this is a serious topic of exploration."
Lazar looked regretful: "Yes, even the elemental octave table that the great arcanist Lord Balista was inspired by and speculated on was overturned. Later, he joined the exploration of the field of electromagnetic waves due to a new discovery.
, temporarily abandoned research in this area. This officially declared the failure of the exploration of the laws of elements, and now similar research has basically stopped."
"Regarding the failure, some arcanists believe that there are not enough types of elements, just like the solutions to equations with too many unknowns in mathematics cannot be solved. The rules cannot be obtained for the time being, and we must wait patiently for the discovery of more elements. This view
It is more popular among high-level arcane masters in the element field represented by the ninth-level arcane master Mr. Laventi. Some arcanists believe that there are no rules between elements at all, and the common properties are just coincidences. For example, they are all metals.
, this view is not shared by high-level arcanists, but it is very popular among mid-level and low-level arcanists."
"Oh, what's Mr. Ulis's point of view?" Lucien asked curiously. What does the genius magician who first began to explore the laws between elements think now?
Lazar frowned and thought for a while: "I heard that Mr. Ulysses was studying the newly discovered elements before. It seems that he doesn't want to give up the exploration of the laws of the elements, but there seems to be no progress and there are already signs of shifting the research field.
"
"Persistence is the virtue of an arcanist." It was the short old man who interrupted.
Because of his obscenity and repeated interruptions, Lucien couldn't help but look at his chest, trying to see clearly his arcane badge, magic badge and management nameplate.
What surprised Lucien was that the old man had nothing on his chest, neither a management nameplate nor an arcane badge or a magic badge.
"How about my magic robe? Doesn't it look good? It combines the mysterious feeling of ancient magic robes, with the bright red color I like and some modern clothing styles." The old man straightened his chest and said proudly.
If he was a beautiful woman, Lucien would probably find it pleasing to the eye and compliment him a few times, but he was an old man with some wrinkles and lots of white hair. Even if he looked good, Lucien could only secretly think of him in his heart.
Curse: "Pervert!"
Then, Lucien pretended not to hear what the short old man said and thought carefully: "Is it that the microscopic level of this world is very different, causing the element structure to be special and the properties irregular, or is it because there are few types of elements that they haven't discovered yet? Well, I
You have to do all the magic experiments for measuring elements first so that you can have an intuitive understanding."
Afterwards, Lucien borrowed basic books such as "The Complete History of Arcana and Magic", "History of Elemental Magic", "New System of Elements", "Atomic-Molecular Theory" and "A Review of Several Atomic Weight Determination Methods and the Latest Atomic Table" and "Elements".
"Table of Eight Rhythms", "Determination of the Properties of the New Element 'Mo'" and other papers related to the properties of each element, totaling thirty-two books, filling the storage bag full.
"Lucien, can you read all these books in seven days?" Lazar and Lucien walked out of the library, puzzled that he decoded thirty-eight books at once.
Lucien smiled and said: "In a few days, I will go to Douglas Magic School. It is estimated that I will focus on teaching apprentices and improving my arcane foundation for a long time, and will not come to the parliament headquarters, so I plan to use records
The magic circle records them to avoid running back and forth. By the way, Lazar, did you notice that the magician just now didn't wear a badge or nameplate?"
Douglas Magic School is located on the southeastern edge of Sky City. It occupies a large area and is remote and quiet. However, it is far away from the Magic Tower, the headquarters of the Parliament. It takes about half an hour by carriage.
"It seems that Lucien, you are planning to apply for the basic arcane assessment directly when you return to the magic tower at the headquarters. You are really able to calm down your mind." Lazar said with admiration, and then replied with a more serious look, "I noticed it, so
At that time, I pulled you and told you not to talk nonsense. That old gentleman may be a member of a certain committee. Only gentlemen at their level can run around in the Magic Tower without wearing a badge and give orders without a nameplate.
Alchemical life. Haha, many of the older gentlemen among them have slightly eccentric personalities, so it is normal for them to suddenly come to work as administrators for a day."
Lucien muttered: "A little weird? A little perverted, right?"
Seeing that Lucien didn't speak, Lazar thought he was worried about the cost of borrowing books, so he smiled and said: "Actually, Lucien, you don't have to worry about the cost of the library. Magicians will exchange recorded books with each other privately. As long as you
You can join their circle. If they don’t need the books you record, you have to pay a certain amount of money, which is cheaper than the library, but it won’t be free. Knowledge is valuable.”
"I happened to meet two friends at Douglas Magic School, and I will introduce you to them."
Lucien was very interested in Lazar's proposal, but he was a little confused: "The council doesn't care?"
"Actually, the reason why the library is so expensive is to encourage magicians to communicate privately. Otherwise, how can we spark the spark of wisdom?" Lazar said humorously, "Okay, let me tell you about those two magician friends.
They are all first-level arcanists, one is Jerome, a second-level mage who is good at astrology and elements, and the other is Rock, a second-level elemental mage."
"Rock is a guy with a very weird personality and thinking. He recently wanted to apply for a funny magic research project. Haha, you'll know what it is when you meet him."
"Jerome is an introverted guy who likes to study and is not good at words. When he was pursuing the beautiful Miss Vera a few years ago, he once talked about astrology, destiny, and star trajectories because he couldn't find a topic during the date.
Elemental reactions and other profound issues." Lazar introduced his two good friends one by one.
He actually talked about boring professional issues in the field of magic during a date. He was really a magician who didn’t understand romance, fun, or how to get along with girls. Lucien couldn’t help but think of the desolation of the good boys who had this kind of situation in their previous lives.
Then he asked slightly pitifully: "Then, is there no more?"
"Uh, how could it be? They are already married and very much in love." Lazar didn't understand why Lucien came to this conclusion.
"What?!" Lucien was very surprised.
Lazar probably guessed what he was thinking from Lucien's reaction, and he chuckled: "Lucien, you came from across the sea. You probably don't know that there are boys other than magicians in Holm and other countries.
, in a girl’s eyes, magic, astrology, elements, fate and reactions are so mysterious and fascinating.”
"And studying these issues directly represents power, wealth, and status."
Lazar looked proud.
Lucien exclaimed: "This is really a wonderful world."
After a pause, Lucien continued: "Lazar, accompany me to redeem some elements that are not available in the magic school laboratory. I want to learn step by step according to the steps in those papers."
"Okay." Lazar said without paying much attention, and then seemed to remember something, "By the way, Lucien, the Lucien Evans who has the same name as you also teaches at Douglas Magic School. His The letter "K" was added to the name." (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
