Since the "Crown of the Sun" has just released a layer of seals, the aura of the undead world that can be sensed by it must be strong enough and the distance must be very close. This means that there is a terrifying undead creature hidden next to Lucien.
, the kind of powerful undead that can kill low-level magicians with one strike!
But in Lucien's mental senses, there was nothing weird about the entire study, and no matter from any angle, he was the only one there.
The sun was warm in the winter afternoon and shone warmly on Lucien. However, Lucien did not feel warm. Instead, a biting chill rose up, making his hair stand on end.
Holding back his fear and trepidation, Lucien calmly picked up a card and "carefully read" the elemental properties of the summary above.
The scorching heat of the Crown of the Sun became more and more intense. Lucien looked at the cards in his hand, and an inexplicable picture suddenly appeared in his heart: right next to his cheek, parallel to his head, there was a transparent and clear pale head, right in front of him.
With his eyes wide open and shining with a strange red light, he read the elemental cards with himself seriously, while in the mirror opposite there was only his focused figure.
"Did the Pale Hand send me to monitor me?"
"They don't seem to have connected me with the professor, otherwise it would be more than just surveillance..."
While his thoughts were rolling, Lucien looked at the element cards one by one. Like all diligent beginners, he diligently memorized, understood and mastered the various properties of different elements. He didn't show anything strange, he just thought to himself.
Author: "I must write an arcane research paper as soon as possible..."
The afternoon passed quickly. Lucien put down the cards and walked out of the study. The scorching heat of the "Crown of the Sun" had turned into a vague warmth. This meant that the powerful undead was slightly far away from him, but it did not really leave.
.
"It's really just surveillance." Lucien relaxed a little. As long as he didn't show any abnormality and lived a normal life according to the pattern of the past week, there would be nothing worthy of suspicion. However, this did not make Lucien completely relax.
People know how long the patience of the pale hand can last, and whether it will leave or use other means after discovering no abnormality.
…………
After dinner, Lucien came to the Magic Experiment Tower as usual.
As soon as he stepped into the tower, the warmth of the "Crown of the Sun" completely disappeared and returned to normal.
"It seems that this magic tower is equipped with a strong protective magic circle to prevent the undead who are monitoring me from coming in." Lucien discovered this with half surprise and half joy. If he was monitored anytime and anywhere, he would collapse.
At this time, K walked in. After seeing Lucien, he said with slight joy: "Lucien, I thought you were not in the mood to do magic experiments today. You are more tenacious than I thought."
"I'm not someone who gives up when I'm hit." Lucien smiled, and then walked side by side with K, "By the way, K, what is the paper you published in the journal "Elements"? I was hit hard today.
, I suddenly fell into the joy of having my paper cited by His Excellency the Grand Arcanist, and even forgot to read the "Elements" journal."
K scratched the back of his head in embarrassment: "It's a discussion about how elements are always combined with a fixed number of other molecules in magic potions and alchemical reactions. This is the atomic valence issue that Mr. Larry mentioned."
"This is a basic question of elemental magic. No wonder K, you are valued by Mr. Larry. I will look for it and read it later. It is suitable for my recent magic experiment to master the properties of elements." Lucien smiled and praised.
K became increasingly embarrassed, laughed, and said nothing.
At this time, several people on the third floor of the Magic Tower passed by the stairs and happened to see Lucien and K.
"Mr. K, Mr. Evans, good evening." The speaker was an ordinary young man with black hair and black eyes, with a half-smile on his silent and honest face.
K said in a deep voice: "Good evening, Beate."
After responding politely, he continued walking towards the stairs leading to the fourth floor without looking at Beate and his companions.
Lucien nodded politely and coldly, and followed K up the steps without saying anything.
"It seems that Mr. Evans, you haven't really reflected on your mistakes yet." Seeing Lucien's performance, Beate laughed and said, "You still hold a grudge against us."
K turned around suddenly, his rich voice filled with anger: "Beate, I know Lucien's teaching style does violate the school rules, but why don't you give him some advice first? If he is unwilling to correct, then complain.
It’s not too late. Are you just so narrow-minded?”
"Hey, even good people who are recognized as honest can be angry sometimes." Beate's companion, Benoit, who is good at electromagnetism and astrology, said exaggeratedly, and then his slender face turned serious, "This is a serious violation of school rules and a long-standing tradition.
How can we cover up the matter and persuade him privately? Only by letting Mr. Evans be punished can he learn a lesson and remember it firmly."
Just as Lucien was about to speak, Beate had already looked at K with a smile: "Breaking school rules is not a big deal, the development of electromagnetic waves is the most important thing now. K, if you still insist on the theory of mental particles and insist that atoms make up the world
The foundation cannot change the concept of arcane magic. I am very worried that one day when you meditate, your head will suddenly explode. Ha, we are going to understand the application of electromagnetic waves according to the magic experiment of the Storm Lord. I won’t disturb you to continue studying the elements~"
His voice was drawn out, and he, who was usually taciturn, was so high-spirited, and so were the few companions around him.
Lucien looked at them angrily and turned away, and at the same time asked in confusion: "K, why does your head explode when you meditate?"
As a guy who still lacks a lot of magic knowledge, Lucien could only ask K.
K was not very angry at Beate's sarcasm, and a thick voice echoed in the stairwell: "This comes from the speaker's discussion of meditation. Because it has no precise theoretical basis, it is not included in the basic arcane book.
So you don’t know for the time being. He believes that the meditation environment is the embodiment of one’s own understanding of the nature of the world. What kind of concepts and knowledge you have will determine what kind of meditation environment you have.”
Lucien nodded secretly without interrupting. It seemed that he was not the only one who felt this way. Mr. Douglas, who laid the foundation for arcane magic, also felt the same way.
"In addition to the dozen or so universally applicable meditation methods, different meditation environments correspond to different meditation methods. If the meditation environment conflicts with the meditation method, or if you continue to meditate when the meditation environment is unstable, there will be a risk of mental explosion.
, it may damage the soul and brain structure, or it may directly blow up the head.”
"So when a subversive theory appears, if a magician cannot accept it, cannot master it, and cannot adjust his or her cognition based on it, the meditation environment will not change. And if a magician or an intelligent being has an understanding of the world
, the concept of cognition of magic has been established, and it is difficult to be changed by external forces, so magicians who cannot accept subversive new theories often account for the majority. For example, in this issue of "Arcane", the Speaker once again wrote an article using
Those magic experiments deny the idea that spiritual power is electromagnetic waves."
"But if there is no doubt about the correctness of this theory, even if the magicians who cannot accept it cannot deny it, their concepts of the world and magic will completely collapse, their cognition will fall into extremely chaotic contradictions, and the meditation environment will become
It is very unstable. It may be stagnant in some cases, or it may be soul-damaged or even die directly in serious cases. Only some outstanding magicians can rebuild their cognitive world and step onto the right path."
"In addition, the blow to confidence cannot be ignored, as it will also affect the efficiency of meditation."
The more Lucien listened, the more frightened he became. No wonder Felipe was so excited when faced with synthetic urea at the Feast of Death. He thought he was arrogant and could not give up on the theory of human vitality. Only now did he understand the danger.
To what extent! Fortunately, urea is not decisive. No matter in this world or on the earth, the theory of human vitality has not been completely denied. Coupled with the shock of the reputation of the church's purification sequence, I have narrowly escaped.
"According to rumors, Felipe's concentrated research should be one of the foundations of the necromantic faction that is inclined to overturn the theory of human vitality. He is worthy of being one of the most outstanding magicians of this generation, and he can accept this concept so quickly.
.It’s just that he seems to want to come up with decisive results before the 'Professor' - whether it is overthrown by the enemy or by one of his own people, it will be the difference between heaven and hell in the subsequent guidance of the Pale Hand Magician's understanding.
.”
Lucien guessed based on what he knew, "The pale hand probably attaches great importance to the professor. No wonder he sent such a powerful undead to monitor me."
Not noticing Lucien's strangeness, K continued: "However, all current subversive theories are full of controversy and cannot completely destroy the cognitive world of magicians. The other groundbreaking magic research is a reflection of the current arcane magic.
It is a supplement to the system, so the performance in this aspect is not obvious."
"But in the past several major debates, such as when electromagnetic induction was proven, and when the existence of gravity was proven, there were many high-level and mid-level magicians who could not accept that their inherent concepts were destroyed and died, so they failed to achieve the desired results.
There are even more magicians of this level. It is said that after light was proven to be electromagnetic waves some time ago, several priests in the Kingdom of Holm were swallowed by the holy light in their bodies while praying. These things indirectly prove the Speaker's discussion of meditation.
correct."
"Of course, there are also many powerful magicians who can accept, study and master new knowledge and grow up."
"Every major development in arcana and magic is accompanied by such tragedies and comedies, as well as magnificent and tragic controversies."
Lucien nodded subconsciously with a solemn expression. In a world where the meditation environment can be constructed from cognitive concepts, this situation is normal. The reason why he can easily change the meditation environment is probably because the changed meditation environment is his fundamental understanding.
You know, but you need to verify its correctness first.
"So after the ancient inherited magicians came to the council, the most emphasized thing by the council was to change their concepts, accept the arcana, and encourage the two people to grow at the same time through the task of teaching the apprentices. But even so, it failed to change the perception and thus stagnated.
There are also most ancient magicians in the past, but there are only a few like you, Lucien, who can quickly accept arcane magic and verify it with your own hands." K praised Lucien, "This is related to your innate ability to think like an arcane magician.
not open."
…………
For the next month, Lucien lived an orderly life under the surveillance of the dead souls and completed the verification of the properties of the elements. However, he no longer arranged the element cards in the study, but completed them in the magic laboratory and soul library.
Then, Lucien began to write a paper titled:
"On the periodic relationship between the properties of elements and atomic weights and the prediction of some new elements". (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
