"Long Bergen" hotel, in a large guest room temporarily converted into a magic laboratory.
"Mr. Evans, these are the two third-level magic spells of 'Brambles' and 'Harvest Source' that you want." Elestine's tone was cold and disgusting, and she handed Lucien two pieces of paper that were yellow and elegant like bark.
.
This kind of "elf paper" is made from the naturally fallen bark of the elven tree. It is a specialty of the elves. It is praised by many magicians in the Magic Council as one of the best materials for making high-level magic scrolls. It can be compared with dragons.
The leather is comparable, but unfortunately the quantity is limited and often the price is low.
These two druids of the "Nature Hate Sect" were worthy of being members of the Elf Royal Court. They were so generous when they made a move, which made "hillbilly" Lucien quite envious.
Taking the two pieces of paper imprinted with divine magic, Lucien saw that the "three-dimensional" imprints on them were very messy, and many parts felt missing and fragmented. There was no balance and mystery that a supernatural power model should have, so he slightly
Frowning, he said: "Prince Ecthelion and Princess Elestine, I think these two magical seals are incomplete. Since you are here to cooperate, you'd better show your sincerity."
"Our sincerity is to try to destroy cooperation as much as possible!" Elestine cursed secretly in her heart, and then replied with an elegant and perfect but cold smile: "Mr. Evans, we are druids, not magicians. The extraordinary power we use comes from
Given the gifts of nature, only with a heart that loves and protects nature can we feel the will of nature, memorize and construct models of divine magic from it. We have never learned, and will not learn in the future, the analysis of magical marks.
And drawing knowledge, we have tried our best to be able to draw like this."
Exilion was very satisfied with his sister's explanation, and added in a haughty tone: "If you want to see the complete magic imprint, we can directly map the magic by making magical items, but that would
The protection of natural will can only be destroyed. The content inside cannot be analyzed. Mr. Evans, do you have the ability to penetrate the natural barrier while keeping the magical mark intact?"
What he said was true. There were many magical items seized by the Magic Council. However, there was still a stalemate in deciphering the mysteries of divine magic. One of the reasons was that most high-level magicians were unable to stabilize themselves when bypassing the magical barrier.
The internal structure of the divine mark.
However, the great arcanists with this ability, after eliminating the magic barrier, discovered that according to the structural principle of the magic mark, they need to rely on inexplicable "power" in the dark, and this power is temporarily unknowable and unpredictable. Therefore,
If there are druids who use divine magic to cooperate at the critical moment of analyzing the principles, something may be gained.
Lucien has a level 9 magical item "Crown of the Sun" on his body, but apart from leaving a mental imprint to stimulate magical magic according to Maskelyne's message, there is no way to analyze the magical imprint in it.
Therefore, after seeing the uncooperative attitude of the two druids, he said in the tone of a research madman: "Okay, then Mr. Theodore, Mr. Julien and I will analyze this part of the mark first."
"Now that you are ready to start, Mr. Evans, it seems there is no use for us to stay. We want to go out for a walk first and observe the conditions of the land and other research groups. This will lay a good foundation for our future experiments." Although it is a bit arrogant.
He is impulsive and can't control his mouth, but Ecthelion, who was born in the royal court, still has a good talent for finding high-sounding excuses.
Lucien pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses: "No, you need to use your magic for us to observe and sense during the analysis, otherwise we will have no way to continue. Don't you two cooperate sincerely?"
Before the Elf King's Court and the Druid Elders of the "Nature Hate Faction" issued further orders, neither Ecthelion nor Elestine dared to express openly that they were just not cooperating and were just here to cause trouble.
The council gave him and others an excuse to put him and others under house arrest, and the Elf King's Court would not question him about such an obviously unreasonable matter in the future.
So the two elves replied gloomily: "Of course we are sincerely cooperating, but Mr. Evans, we have nothing to do while you analyze the magic. Are we just going to sit and wait?"
"You can sleep, you can pray to the will of nature, you can talk in a low voice, and you can read the books I brought. In short, stay here so that I can get cooperation as soon as possible when I need it." Lucien tried hard to imitate the inhumane experiment of drunkenness.
The image of the arcanist said, "If you still feel like you have nothing to do, I have some math exercises for beginners. Do you want to do them?"
This is a Mathematical Olympiad exercise prepared for Annick, Splinter and others to "train their thinking".
Looking at the thick stack of white paper in Lucien's hand, and looking at the numbers that seemed to contain endless mysteries and curses, Ecthelion and Elestine, who relied on the fusion of natural will to obtain the magic mark, suddenly felt a sense of panic.
Bloating, dizziness and throbbing feeling, they are the worst at and hate math!
"This Mr. 'Order of Elements', when he is not studying arcana or discussing meat, is truly an elegant gentleman, humorous in conversation, knowledgeable, handsome in appearance, polite in manners, and also has a good appreciation of art.
With his strength and quiet and calm temperament, he is more attractive than many male elves, but as long as there is meat and arcane magic, he will completely reveal his devilish, evil and ruthless side, which makes people hate and disgust him!"
Elestine, who originally had a good feeling for Lucien, secretly regretted the duplicity of a "gentleman" and hated him so much that her teeth itched.
After Ecthelion and Elestine sat down on chairs in the corner of the laboratory surrounded by elven guards, Theodore glanced at the complex magical mark, and then used the "message technique" to tell Lucien: "
I get a headache when I see these models, and the next analysis depends entirely on you!"
This is a short-distance communication magic. It was originally a second-level magic in the ancient magic empire, but after being simplified and improved by many arcanists, it became an apprentice-level magic. It uses special energy to wrap sound waves for transmission, and is suitable for within ten meters.
At the same time, the sound of Julien's headache also sounded in Lucien's ears through the "messaging technique". He was also afraid of the mathematical foundation required to reversely analyze divine magic.
After handing over the "burden" to Lucien, the two battle-mad magicians pretended to look at the magical seals and wrote with quills floating in their hands, but in fact they were drawing the winter scenery with great interest.
"In this case, wouldn't I be the only one analyzing magic?" Lucien felt deeply "desperate" for this arcane research group, then took out a stack of white paper and began to answer the mathematical basis laid out by Laventi.
topic.
Since he had not studied advanced mathematics in depth in his previous life, Lucien still had many flaws in his foundation in this area, so he could quickly make up for it with the help of Laventi's guidance. After all, the Magic Council that started the study of complex functions was equivalent to the Earth in the early 19th century.
The current level is beyond the scope of common sense learning for most people.
Apart from the books that have yet to be unlocked in the Soul Library, Lucien currently leads the Magic Council in only a few mathematical knowledge, such as linear algebra (matrix), axiomatic systems, and mathematical conjectures that he does not know the answers to.
Since mathematics in this world fully embodies the spirit of serving exploration practice and magic applications, there is not much research in number theory, conjectures, etc. Lucien once thought about using those famous mathematical conjectures after he became a senior member of the Magic Council.
They were proposed one by one and published together, so that arcane masters from other worlds can enjoy a "mathematical feast".
In the corner, Elestine and Exilion looked at Lucien's serious and handsome profile and the quill that kept flicking, and their hearts felt as happy as they wanted: "No matter how serious you are, no matter how talented you are,
, when the magical imprint is not complete, let me see how you can reverse the analysis quickly?!"
This strategy succeeded, and the happy mood of gaining the upper hand fermented in the hearts of the two elves, making them feel that the time was not difficult.
As time passed, Lucien suddenly said: "Prince Ecthelion, please use the 'Brambles' magic."
Exilion's face became serious, and he released this three-ring magic as quickly as possible. Clumps of dark green bushes that looked like iron thorns appeared in the room, and soon completely covered the laboratory floor, making it difficult for people to step on it.
, and its flashing light seems to be able to penetrate the knight's defense.
"Very good, I'm inspired." Lucien nodded expressionlessly, then turned around and continued doing math exercises.
After a while, Lucien's request without any emotion sounded again:
"Princess Elestine, please use the magic spell 'Source of Harvest'."
"OK."
Divine magic fluctuations are generated.
…
"Prince Ecthelion, please use the 'Source of Harvest'."
…
"Princess Ellestine, please release 'The Thorns' again."
…………
Requests echoed in the laboratory again and again, and magical fluctuations occurred again and again.
"It's lunch time. How's your analysis going, Mr. Evans? Have you figured out the principles behind divine magic?" Ecthelion stood up a little tired and asked. Although in order to hinder the analysis, they often delayed it with the excuse that they needed to recover,
But at lunch, each of them also released their magical spells dozens of times.
Lucien put away the white paper on the table and told them with a serious face: "I'm sorry, due to the incomplete magical seal, my analysis has not made any progress."
Exilion and Elestine couldn't help cheering in their hearts, and at the same time they expressed understanding: "It's okay, Mr. Evans, the beginning of anything is difficult, don't worry."
"Well, let's have lunch first." Lucien said with difficulty, keeping a dead face. He had solved one question and could enjoy the food with a happy mood.
When lunch was mentioned, Theodore, who was almost asleep, ran out like a rabbit like Julien.
"By the way, Mr. Evans, please return those two 'Elven Papers' to us. I think you have memorized the magic mark." Elestine is not willing to take advantage of this hateful magician!
Lucien immediately felt pain in his heart.
…………
Three days later, Elestine and Exilion, who were "trapped" in the magic laboratory and unable to leave, accidentally heard that other research groups had begun experiments with soil, so they found Lucien with some suspicion.
He hasn't made any progress yet? Is he just perfunctory with his brother and sister? (To be continued.)
