Rentat, the capital of the Kingdom of Holm, with a six-pointed star platform.
At 7:30 in the morning, Lucien, who was wearing a thick white shirt and a formal black tie, slowly stepped off the magic steam train with his hands in the pockets of his black double-breasted gown against the cold wind.
After receiving the invitation letter last night, he only had time to verify with the school management that the will of the elements and the magic signs of the Holm Royal Magic Court were correct, and he hurriedly took the first train to Lentat.
Stepping out of the magic platform, Lucien waved a carriage to stop, then stepped into the warm carriage and told the carriage driver to go to Swan Lake Rose Manor.
It wasn't until the coachman drove the horses and the wheels rolled forward that Lucien calmed down and thought carefully about his invitation to attend the "Annual Conference of Elements and Alchemy Magic".
"If they value my periodic table paper, the invitation and treatment should be more grand. After all, it will be an important milestone in the development of elemental magic."
"But if they don't take it seriously, why did they send me an invitation letter?"
Amid confusion, the time came to eight-thirty, and the carriage stopped in front of Rose Manor. On the left was the Swan Lake, which was covered with a thin layer of ice. It was shrouded in snowflakes, making it vast and desolate.
Guarding the gate of the manor were two blond young men, exuding a majestic and majestic knightly aura.
However, Lucien understood that they were not real knights. They only relied on magic potions to achieve quasi-knight strength, so they were willing to become members of the will of the elements. In magic potions, elements, alchemy and necromancy have an absolute advantage.
.
"Hello, Mr. Arcanist, can you show me your invitation letter and arcane badge?" One of the knights asked politely.
Lucien nodded lightly and handed him the invitation letter and arcane badge.
The knight used a mirror-like magic item to verify the name imprinted in Lucien's arcane badge and compared it with the invitation. He enthusiastically returned the badge and invitation to him: "Welcome, Lucien.
Well, Mr. Evans, the arcanists are almost here, and they are in the hall of the main house of the manor."
Another knight turned around, opened the door, and extended his hand very politely to invite Lucien in.
When nothing happened, Lucien's doubts were eliminated. He walked calmly along the rammed earth road to the half-open door of the manor's main house, and gently pushed it open.
A low buzzing sound came to the face. There was no music, no noise, and no clamor. Arcanists gathered in twos and threes throughout the unusually wide hall to discuss recent arcane research, magical trends, and encounters in their own research.
The questions are filled with an atmosphere of curiosity.
There are about 210 arcanists, most of them are mid-level arcanists, and a small number are low-level arcanists who have studied deeply on a certain elemental issue and have been affirmed.
Tables and high-back chairs are arranged in a ring in the hall. In the center of them is a half-height metal platform, with magic circles that amplify sounds and reveal scenes, as well as a half-person-high podium.
Lucien's entry only attracted the attention of a few arcanists, but after they discovered that they did not know Lucien, they continued their discussions with each other, with only a pair of cold eyes following him carefully.
Lazar, who was in charge of the chores for the "Annual Meeting of Elements and Alchemy Magic" in the corner, finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the meeting was about to begin. However, he was shocked to see Lucien, whom he knew, swaggering into the hall.
He resisted the urge to say hello loudly, held the unbuttoned left gown with his right hand, walked politely among the arcanists, and rushed towards Lucien.
"Lucien, why are you here?" Lazar asked in a low voice, his expression full of surprise.
This is the "Annual Conference of Elements and Alchemical Magic"! He didn't join the Elemental Will!
All Lucien looked at were strangers, and he felt a little uneasy. After seeing Lazar, a familiar friend, he completely calmed down and waved the invitation in his hand: "I don't know why, but I accepted it inexplicably.
This invitation letter has arrived. Lazar, do you know the reason?"
"Invitation?" Lazar took it in surprise, read it carefully and checked the magic symbols of the two organizations, and then looked at Lucien with a monster-like look, "What have you done recently?
, I actually got an invitation letter? Is it because the letter you wrote to me asked me to remeasure the atomic weights of some elements? After I measured it using several new methods, I found that it was really wrong!"
Lucien was just about to answer his guess when a strong male voice near the gate asked a female low-level magician in charge of reception: "Evans, Lucien? Is Evans here?"
"Mr. Larry, I have already verified that Mr. Evans arrived a few minutes ago." The sweet female voice answered with a little luck. Fortunately, she checked the Arcanist who was present every five minutes, so she could answer in time.
Mr. Larry's question, then she faced the inside of the hall, her voice amplified: "Mr. Evans, Mr. Lucien Evans, please come over here, Mr. Larry is looking for you."
Her voice stopped all discussions. The arcanists looked left and right, slightly curious to know who this Lucien Evans was and what his relationship was with Mr. Larry.
"Rebecca, Mr. Evans is here." Lazar heard his companion looking for his friend and replied loudly with dignity, then pulled Lucien and walked towards the gate.
The arcanists stepped aside one after another, and at the same time looked at Lucien with a little curiosity. The arcanist who was invited at such a young age? Doesn't he look like the kind of rotten guy who uses magic rituals or potions to extend his life?
There were three men and one woman standing at the door. The woman had bright green eyes and was wearing a light red dress. She was pretty and elegant, but her slightly haggard eyebrows could be seen vaguely in her light brown flowing sea. It seemed that during this period, she had been preparing for the "element and war"
"Alchemical Magic Annual Conference" is very tiring.
The person talking to her was a fat man in his thirties with a round face, a rough yellow beard, and a pair of deep blue eyes.
"Mr. Larry, Mr. Evans is here." Lazar bowed politely to the round-faced fat man. He had seen this famous genius of elemental will from a distance.
Lucien was about to smile and speak, but Larry on the opposite side was stunned for a moment, and then blurted out: "Who are you?"
His voice was powerful, even if it wasn't intentionally loud, it still spread throughout the hall.
"Ah?" Lucien looked at him doubtfully, Lazar and Rebecca were stunned at the same time, and the arcanists in the hall also looked over strangely, not understanding what was going on here.
Larry pressed his hands: "I'm sorry, sir, I mean I don't know you. I'm looking for my student Lucien Evans, er, K Evans."
Lucien probably understood the reason of the matter, and felt that it was ridiculous and funny.
"...Mr. Larry, the only one here is Mr. Evans." After a few seconds of silence, Rebecca was still uneasy and confused as she said.
Larry looked sideways at her: "Only Mr. Evans?"
One of the two men who witnessed the whole thing behind Larry said sharply to Rebecca: "Rebecca, you are responsible for filling out the invitation letter. The one I asked you to invite is because the paper on atomic valence states has been widely praised.
Mr. Lucien Evans is Mr. Larry's disciple, not this, uh, first-level arcanist Lucien Evans! What on earth did you do?" He turned his head and glanced at Lucien's chest.
After the arcane and magical badges, the voice became more severe.
His hair is jet black but his face is full of wrinkles. He is not young. He wears the badge of a three-pole arcanist and a three-ring magician on his chest, which seems to be an arcane level accumulated over time.
After scolding Rebecca, he nodded apologetically to the gray-haired old man next to him with a slightly curved nose and wearing a suit and ties, while continuing to glare at Rebecca.
Rebecca's eyes turned red from being scolded, but the more anxious she became, the less she could think of the reason.
"Mr. Leandre, because there are two Lucien Evans at Douglas Magic School, they may have made a mistake." Lazar's face turned slightly red after being embarrassed in front of everyone, but he still couldn't help but defend Rebecca.
.
Leandro was even more angry: "In that case, didn't you mark K on the invitation? Or arcane level, magic level? He is only one level one! Just like you!" He pointed at Lucien's chest and said.
"But, but, Mr. Leander, I checked all the people at Douglas Magic School, and there is only one Mr. Lucien Evans." Rebecca burst into tears. If there were people with the same name, she would definitely mark the different letters.
.
Lucien calmly explained: "Mr. Andrew, K resigned before you sent out the invitation letter."
This means that the person who made the mistake was the one who told Rebecca the information.
Leandro said angrily: "But even so, it is a big mistake for her not to indicate the arcane level! And you, why don't you weigh whether you are qualified to participate in the 'Annual Conference of Elements and Alchemy Magic'? You can't think about it with your brain."
, is this an invitation letter for you?" Due to Lucien's low level, he spoke as if he was scolding his subordinates.
"No, no, no, it's my fault." Larry raised his hands, "I asked K to resign, but when I decided to invite K on the spur of the moment, I forgot to explain this to Mr. Leander."
"Larry, why don't you invite K yourself?" The gray-haired old man looked at Larry with dark yellow and slightly strange eyes.
Larry smiled bitterly: "Teacher, I didn't expect K to leave his job so quickly. I thought he should stay in the school to deal with things these days, but I didn't know where he went and I couldn't find him at all.
"
This old man in a black suit with strange eyes turned out to be Larry's teacher, director of the Will of the Elements, member of the Arcane Review Committee, seventh-level arcanist, and seventh-ring magician Gaston.
After comparing the explanations before and after, the arcanists in the hall basically understood what was going on, and started talking in low voices. They thought it was a rare and interesting thing, and from time to time someone let out a low laugh.
"Mr. Gaston, it was our carelessness that caused you trouble." Leandre bowed to Gaston and apologized flatteringly.
Gaston nodded gently: "Everyone has made mistakes, so there is no need to blame this little girl too harshly."
Leandre raised his head and said sternly to Rebecca: "Since Mr. Gaston said so, I will not submit the mistake you made this time, and you will not make it again in the future."
Then he turned to Lucien and said coldly: "You have nothing to do here, you can leave."
With such an attitude, even a magician like Lucien who was good at keeping calm and rational would inevitably feel a strong sense of humiliation.
At this time, Gaston raised his hand to stop Leander from speaking: "Evans, have you learned the arcana in the elemental field?"
"Yes, Mr. Gaston." Lucien didn't understand what he meant, but seeing his kind attitude, he nodded lightly.
Gaston smiled and said: "Then you stay here and listen. Now that you are here, don't miss it. This is a conference on the latest research results in the field of elements. You may not be able to understand much, but it will be of great help to you.
big."
Seeing Lucien's silence and hesitation, he chuckled and said, "Young man, don't be shy. When you become a famous arcanist in the future, what happened today will be a good talk."
Hearing that it was the latest research result, the studious Lucien slowly nodded in agreement.
Those cold eyes stared at this scene, but Gaston and Larry didn't say anything more. He quickly passed by Lucien and walked to the center of the hall. So he quickly opened his eyes for fear of being seen.

Common Arcanist Monthly Headquarters.
Woods, who had returned from submitting his paper on redetermination of atomic weights, sat in his chair with satisfaction, his thoughts drifting slightly. As long as he passed the review in three days, he would be able to catch up with this issue of the monthly magazine.
After thinking about it, he picked up the exchanged Lucien's Periodic Table of Elements paper and read it again. Since he had already determined the elements, he subconsciously skipped this part and looked at the guessing of new elements at the back.
"There is such a detailed description of properties." Woods commented as he read, "You even guessed the method of discovering new elements? Uh, why do some of the characteristics of this ore look familiar?" (To be continued. Please search for Piaotian Literature.
