After looking through the formulas listed in this article and the meanings of the formula symbols in the last appendix of the "Arcana" journal, Lucien analyzed these formulas and found that they were basically consistent with the celestial mechanics formulas he knew, that is to say,
The results calculated using them should be relatively accurate as long as the magician made no calculation errors. However, the existence of the planet cannot be found at that exact location! It can be seen on the mainland!
"It's so paradoxical." Lucien once again sighed as he had before, and then read the article to the end.
After pondering for a while, Lucien turned to the first page of the article to see who the author of the article was: "Oliver Constantine, Grand Arcanist, Level 3 of the legendary magic profession 'Hand of Annihilation'."
"He is actually a great arcanist and also a legendary magician!"
Lucien was once again surprised: "Looking at the arrangement, the Grand Arcanist's dignity in the magic world should be higher than that of the Legendary Magician, and the two can exist at the same time. They should have different evaluation systems. Well,
One is the grading of strength improvement, and the other is probably from the perspective of contribution to the study of magic principles."
With this idea in mind, Lucien quickly flipped through the back pages and looked at the signatures of those articles. Sure enough, they were basically: "Eighth-level arcanist, ninth-level astrologer", "Sixth-level arcanist, eighth-level elemental mage"
"This confirms Lucien's guess, and there is basically no arcane level higher than the magic level. It seems that promotion in this level is more difficult.
After looking at the nine-ring, eight-ring, and seven-ring magic levels with excitement for a while, Lucien looked through the following articles. They are:
"A study of the problem of string vibration in certain magics";
"The Method of Differentiation, or a Brief Remarks on Infinite Series";
"Some Solution to the Seven Bridges Problem";
"The derivation of several issues that should be paid attention to when electricity and magnetism transform into each other in magic";
…
"A new element measured by a new method";
"The Eternal Question: Does Mental Power Exist in the Form of Waves or Particles—Experimental Research Using the "Psychic Storm" Magic".
…………
Lucien's performance in carefully opening the journal made Smile, Sage, Morning Star and other magic apprentices nod secretly. This might really be an official magician. When he first got the journal, he and others looked like Smile
As I once said, I know every word, but when they are connected together, I don't know it. As for the Hanged Man, Mercury still has doubts. After all, he doesn't understand it and tries hard to read it. It's the same state.
After spending half an hour browsing through it, Lucien had a certain understanding of the knowledge contained in it:
"Judging from these formulas, the arcane level of this world, in just three to four hundred years, has probably reached the level of the earth in the mid-18th century in terms of mathematics and physics. Calculus has been initially established, and the research on geometric problems such as curved surfaces and spheres has advanced by leaps and bounds.
Mechanics and electromagnetism tend to be perfected, and because of the weird development of this world, many things are applied first and then studied, so some aspects of magic exceed the level of Earth's technology, such as space jumping."
"The level of research on elemental magic, that is, chemistry, has reached the level of the early 19th century. It was determined that earth, fire, geomantic omen, and water are not elements, as well as the standards of elements, and preliminary determination of atomic weights has begun."
"These were research results more than 20 years ago. Today, even though many difficulties such as the "planet existence" problem have hindered their development, the overall level should be at the level of the early 19th century, and chemistry may have reached the level of the mid-19th century.
Degree."
Because it was an "Arcana" journal, Lucien found it easier to read it. If it were a journal that linked arcane research theories and magic applications, he would have to study slowly.
However, Lucien would rather have that kind of journal, because it can guide his current magic learning to the greatest extent. Unlike others, his application ability lags far behind basic and principle knowledge.
Closing the "Arcane" journal, Lucien smiled at the magic apprentices who suddenly looked over: "I have read it briefly, and there are many interesting things in it. I can keep this journal in my hands for the past two weeks."
Here?"
"No problem, Mr. Professor, as long as you can answer my questions." The sage made an old voice, "Because this "Arcana" journal belongs to everyone, and this is your first time here, so this guidance is not a private paper.
Instead of using the guidance of a pen, communicate directly so that everyone can hear it, okay?"
"I still want to test my knowledge level. Haha, I am one of the rare freaks in this world. It depends on how you judge." Lucien replied in a weird voice, "Of course, sage, you can start asking.
"
The sage took out a large stack of paper filled with words and numbers from a wooden box he carried with him, and asked Lucien to open the "Arcana" journal to the first article: "Mr. Professor, you said you are better at it.
Elemental and astrological magic, and I just have a question about astrological changes that I would like to ask you."
"When I got this "Arcane" journal, I was fascinated by the formulas in the first article. They seemed to be able to perfectly explain the various trajectory changes on the astrological chart. However, I was just a magic apprentice and got
It is an ancient magic inheritance. Can you tell us about these formulas and the above theories, and how they calculate the trajectory of stars?"
This issue seems to have been discussed for a long time in this circle of magic apprentices, and has attracted everyone's attention. All eyes were focused on it, silently.
Lucien heard that he was asking about celestial mechanics and said funnyly: "You have many questions. I will only answer one, which is about the meaning and basic principles of each of these formulas. Do you want to listen?"
"Yes, Mr. Professor." The sage did not expect that this mysterious man who did not know whether he was a formal magician could actually give guidance, so he answered without hesitation, and Smile, the Hanged Man, and others all nodded in the same way.
After all, in the first article, the words "legendary magic profession" deeply attracted their hearts.
Lucien picked up the quill on the table and pointed at a certain symbol in the formula: "This is the symbol of the gravitational constant, and gravity is the fundamental principle of these formulas."
"What is gravity? When you jump up, the force that will cause you to fall down without flying magic is the force of a ripe apple falling naturally. These things are not appointed by God. Up, down, left, and right are never independent concepts, but relative.
, only when force is applied will it move in a certain direction. When you see these phenomena, you should think more about why..."
Lucien talked about the formulas in a simple way. Sage, Chenxing, Smail and others were confused and asked why from time to time, but Lucien directly answered them: "These are basic questions about the principles of magic. If you need to explain them, I will explain them to you."
Clearly, there must be a lot of premises, assumptions, and relevant knowledge. To start from the beginning, it is not a matter of a few hours, but a matter of several years or more than ten years. Now, you just know how to use the conclusion. Don’t ask too many questions.
I will study it after I become an official magician."
In fact, Lucien himself is still at the stage of knowing the conclusions of many things, not knowing the derivation process, and the proof process. Even if it is knowledge in junior high school or high school, he needs to slowly study the literature and papers in the library to make up for it, so in
While saying the above words, Lucien said silently in his heart: "The real reason is that I don't understand it either!"
Lucien's words made the sage sigh with emotion: "The world of magic is really vast and profound, and it contains the truth about the existence and operation of this world. I once thought that I had some research on magic. Today I heard your speech, Mr. Professor.
After all the guidance and explanation, I realized that I hadn’t even touched the door.”
Bai Mi Tang, Hanged Man, Smail and others all nodded. Although the mysterious man "Professor" only briefly talked about application issues, involving laws, theorems, etc., he gave a conclusion without explaining why this was the case.
But just the meaning of the formulas, the laws of planetary motion, and how to apply the formulas have all made them gain a lot. When it comes to analyzing and constructing certain magic and magic arrays, just thinking about it now, they feel that it will be much easier.
As Lucien finished talking about the general application of all the formulas involved in the article "Discussion on Several Issues Concerning the Failure of the Fifth Search for the Planet", the sage suddenly became completely silent, and then suddenly picked up the quill as if his whole body was shaking.
, calculating something on the paper, paying no attention to the things around him, as if completely immersed in the world of arcana.
The Morning Star, Reindeer, White Glove, Mercury, Hanged Man and other apprentices who had some research in astrological magic also fell into a trance, took out their quills, wrote dense formulas and data on white paper, and began to calculate.
Only White Honey, Smile, and Oak Tree are better. They can barely identify a few astrological charts in terms of astrological magic. But even so, they can all feel the content behind the application of the formula that Lucien just talked about.
, implies a vast, profound and mysterious magical world where everything has laws of cause and effect. It is a world of arcana.
"Mr. Professor, I have always suspected that you are not an official magician. Now I apologize to you and hope you can accept it. You are the most knowledgeable, kind and graceful magician I have ever seen. I even think
"Based on the arcane and magical knowledge you have mastered, you are not a junior magician." Bai Mitang is a female magic apprentice. She seldom spoke before and deliberately changed her voice to be hoarse like an old woman. But now,
Under the excited apology, a little of his original voice was revealed, but it was slightly low and hoarse, with a unique feminine charm.
Moreover, her words made Lucien, Smile and Oak hear an important message, that is, there is a magic circle behind Bai Mi Tang, and there are official magicians in that circle, but Bai Mi Tang
This kind of magic apprentice often does not receive the guidance of a formal magician.
Lucien replied with the sinister laughter unique to evil magicians: "I accept your apology. In fact, I don't care. No matter what others think of me, my knowledge and strength are all my own.
I won’t discount anything just because of other people’s suspicions.”
Lucien did not ask about the circle of formal magicians, because from Bai Mi Tang's attitude, it was certain that they did not know about the headquarters of the Continental Magic Council, nor did they have other arcane journals. Therefore, he was still a trainee magic apprentice. Since
If you don't have the most desired harvest, there is no need to take this risk. It's not too late to go when you are strong enough. If you really want magic materials, you can use white honey to transfer them.
Seeing that others were still addicted, Bai Mi Tang, Smile, and Quercus began to exchange certain magic materials. Lucien saw that he needed some, so he used the experiment as an excuse to buy some with silver.
After nearly twenty minutes, other magic apprentices gradually woke up. The sage was the most excited. He stood up, put his right hand on his forehead in the manner of ancient magicians, and bowed deeply to Lucien: "You
You are a knowledgeable mentor and a leader in the magical world, and I would like to express my sincerest gratitude to you."
"Mr. Professor, your explanation of the formula has allowed me to solve the problem of determining the trajectory of the astrological chart that has troubled me for many years, and it has given me hope of analyzing a ring of astrological magic. Please accept this set of magic utensils. I
You can choose any of the other items you bring."
The Hanged Man, Morning Star, etc. also expressed their gratitude to Lucien for his guidance and knowledge. Then another female magic apprentice, Mercury, stood up, bowed first, and then asked Lucien in a slightly changed sweet voice: "Professor
Sir, can I ask you a question about elemental magic? I brought the black corpse mushroom you wanted."
There was strong expectation in her tone, as well as the nervousness of fear of rejection.
Bai MiTang, Quercus and others also looked at Lucien with the same respect: "Mr. Professor, please give me your guidance. If Mercury agrees, we would like to observe."
Their attitude was respectful like that of primary school students facing a strict teacher, which made Lucien sigh in his heart: "I am now a veritable 'professor'."
