Throne of Magical Arcana

Seeing Mr. Evans' serious look, Annick, Leilia and Heidi all nodded in confusion. The learning and casting of apprentice-level magic requires repeated analysis and practice. They have experienced it personally. Now it seems that the learning of arcane basics is the same, but why do they have a faint feeling in their hearts?

"Mr. Evans, this is the first time you have come into contact with these arcane books, so we won't bother you to study them. We will come to ask you after you understand something." Annick stood up and said politely, "We just happened to take advantage of the Time to meditate and learn magic."

There is nothing wrong with Lucien teaching them now, but a magician who has never been exposed to arcane arts can reach the level of instructing others after only reading the basic books on arcane arts and magic. It is unimaginable, even if it is legendary The great arcanist here can't do it either, so it's best to be cautious, Lucien smiled "kindly" and said, "I'll be able to guide you around this time tomorrow." And he also prepared a special gift for you.

"Tomorrow? Mr. Evans, do you think these arcane books are easy?" Leilia asked in surprise.

Lucien considered the language: "I will teach you what I understand today. It will be like this in the future. I will guide while studying. Hehe, this will also put pressure on me to study."

"Then we will thank you, Mr. Evans first." Heidi replied cheerfully. Anyway, she was struggling to read those books by herself, so she was not worried at all that Mr. Evans would delay her arcane studies and replace Annick and Leiya thank you together.

Watching the three apprentices return to their respective rooms to meditate, while the other apprentices divided into two small groups to discuss, Lucien finally felt that the surrounding environment was peaceful and there was a good study atmosphere, so he leaned leisurely on the back of the sofa, pulled out the sea An arcane book left behind by Dee looked up:

""Mathematical Principles of the Philosophy of Magic", hey, it is very similar to the title of Sir Newton's work." Lucien's eyes lit up, and he just flipped through the book quickly, ignoring the book, "Hehe, and from the catalogue, it is also Talking about 'power' also uses calculus, bold assumptions, and rigorous proofs. However, the examples cited above seem to be combined with the needs of magic, such as the problem of astrology magic."

After reading the table of contents, Lucien went back to read the preface: "...all magic research, in the end, will come down to finding answers to some abstract questions, such as: What is 'me'? What is 'world'?" How did the 'world' emerge and how did it become the beautiful 'system' we observe? What is the relationship between 'I' and the 'world'? Therefore, I added the word 'philosophy' after magic as the title of this book."

"...We explore the world, try to summarize laws from phenomena, and then use these laws to deduce other phenomena and explain, construct and create magic..."

"Your friend Douglas"

"It turned out to be the work of Mr. Douglas, the great arcanist. Uh, the preface and content are different from Sir Newton's." Lucien is not surprised at the appearance of calculus, not to mention the one he saw at Alto's magic gathering. As mentioned in this "Arcane" journal, just starting from the middle level, a large number of irregular lines, surfaces, etc. appear in the spell model, which means that there will definitely be pioneers looking for mathematical methods for accurate calculations, especially the principles of magic After being named Arcane.

Lucien began to read this arcane book seriously, and a quill pen on the round table in front of him flew up, writing and drawing on the white paper unattended, verifying the inferences inside.

Compared with the book with a similar name on Earth, the mathematical method of "Mathematical Principles of Magic Philosophy" seems to be more systematic and systematic. The various symbols and definitions of various concepts are quite clear and accurate, allowing Lucien to see Relatively easy.

Time flew by, until the light from the window became dim, and Lucien realized that he even forgot to eat his lunch, because this arcane masterpiece also built a bridge between the laws of the world, mathematical methods and magic , so that many of Lucien's knowledge can finally be connected with magic.

"If it's not that the strength of the soul is not enough, I will be able to analyze and construct the magic spells of the second ring and even the third ring after reading this book and "The Mapping of Magic Principles to the Model Construction Process" and "The Significance of Constructing Graphics" in a few days It’s a model. I really hope to get a better meditation method from Felipe’s mouth, which was used by high-level magicians before!” Lucien thought regretfully, then stretched without image, and got off the sofa stood up.

"Mr. Evans, good evening." The apprentices such as Splinter and Katrina in the living room greeted Lucien in awe when they saw Lucien wake up from his studies, no matter whether he has no arcane foundation or not, he is worth following. Learning, just the status of a formal magician is worthy of this attitude.

A flame burst out from Lucien's hand and burned the manuscript paper of the deduction and analysis just now. He nodded and said, "Where are you having dinner?"

"The restaurant on the first floor." Katrina replied respectfully. Mr. Evans has been studying continuously for almost a day, and he used so much white paper to calculate. Just such hard work and serious attitude are worthy of respect. I have to be as diligent and assiduous as him, and become a formal magician as soon as possible, so that I can help my parents get rid of the troubled situation for a long time.

…………

In the dining room.

"Evans, I heard about your seriousness and diligence. No wonder you can become a full-fledged magician before you are twenty years old by learning ancient magic. If you have a good level of shadow and light after becoming an intermediate magician, I will Consider asking you to be one of my assistants." Astal expressed the praise of the elders on the magic path, as for the latter sentence, it was just an incidental form of praise, not a real promise. Not to mention the difficulty of becoming an intermediate magician, the study of shadow and light can make him feel that there are good intermediate magicians in the entire magic council, and he can count them with one hand.

Beside him, Mercedes is squatting on the dining table with her tail up high, with a white napkin tied under her fluffy neck. She is fighting fiercely with a fried fish, meowing from time to time, rubbing her tail Take a look at Astaire.

Lucien smiled and said, "Thank you, Mr. Astaire, for your compliment. I just came into contact with arcane arts. I can only make up for the lack of time with diligence and hard work."

"Your attitude is really satisfying, but," Astar changed the subject, "Evans, don't study blindly, "Mathematical Principles of Magic Philosophy" and the mathematical method of calculus are only required to be learned by formal magicians Content, hehe, I mean a formal magician with an arcane level. What you need to read now are other arcane and magic basic books, and then add a "Encyclopedia of Magical Creatures."

"Actually, I have finished most of the content of "Mathematical Principles of Magical Philosophy" today..." Lucien replied silently, and then nodded, "I will start reading "Basics of Magical Geometry" and "Common Algebra" in the evening. "Question"." Also make some "preparations" for instructing the three apprentices tomorrow.

In the soul library, these two books were opened page by page. Lucien probably looked at them. Based on his previous impressions, he was sure that they were books containing content such as Euclidean geometry, analytic geometry, and equations. I thought, "Euclidean geometry is called Tower Geometry here, and the fifth derivation that leads to the content of non-Euclidean geometry is exactly the same. It really feels like being on Earth. But there are also many strange things, such as the soul, such as spiritual power, such as the inability to The found stars, such as different 'solar' elements, are there some differences between the micro level and the macro level?"

The latest issue of "Arcane" journal Lucien has of course been included in the soul library. Most of the thirty articles are the application of complex variable functions in various fields, such as the research on intercepting the sphere of mental power into plane fields. A small number of articles are about the discovery of new elements by spectral analysis, and it can be seen that they are the latest research hotspots.

This kind of question involving the deepest mysteries of the world cannot be explored at Lucien's level for the time being, so he can only suppress it temporarily and ask Astaire: "Mr. Astaire, I wonder if you can teach me in advance The council will definitely give me the idea of ​​meditation?" If you can learn it one day earlier, you can become a second-ring magician one day earlier.

"This is just a restriction imposed by the council to prevent you from not instructing magic apprentices, and a magic contract will be signed at that time." Astar said with a smile, "but for high-level magicians, it is not a problem to violate it appropriately. However, You need to show the potential worthy of my investment, hehe, I have been in Sturk for a long time, and I am a little accustomed to using their business language."

Lucien is very used to this kind of negotiation: "Then Mr. Astaire, what potential do you need to see?"

"You became an official magician not long after you became an adult. I am very satisfied with your spiritual talent. If you have shown good potential in your own arcane learning or teaching these days, I will give you Brooke's meditation in advance." Asta Er put down the knife and fork, kept a gentle smile and said

Brook seems to be a great arcanist. Lucien replied with a smile as he thought about it: "After reading "Mathematical Principles of Magic Philosophy" all afternoon, I think I still have a lot of talent for arcane arts."

"I hope so." Astal nodded slightly.

…………

At ten o'clock the next morning, Lucien's room.

"Have you all understood the derivation of these axioms?" Lucien raised his head and looked at the three and a half older children with a smile.

Annick nodded emphatically: "Mr. Evans, you have spoken very well. The few axioms that I was confused by before, now I fully understand their meaning, and they are connected with structural graphics."

"Me too. Mr. Evans, it's hard to imagine that you only came into contact with arcane arts yesterday." Leilia looked admiring, and she explained what seemed profound to her so thoroughly, which made her feel that Mr. Evans was really great up.

"Mr. Evans, I also understand, you are really great!" Heidi spoke loudly the praise that Leiliya had not said.

Lucien nodded slightly, with a gentle smile, and took out a stack of blank paper from behind: "This is an exercise about these axioms, which can help you better understand the structure of graphics and learn magic better."

"Thank you, Mr. Evans." The three apprentices naively took the blank paper, and happily picked up the pens to calculate or deduce.

Lucien took out "Mathematical Principles of Magic Philosophy" and continued to look at the next part.

Minutes and seconds flowed like a stream, and the faces of Annick, Leilia, and Heidi gradually became solemn, and sweat fell from their foreheads from time to time.

When it was almost noon, Annick was the first to stand up, full of relief, and said: "Mr. Evans, I have finished. Although the topic is difficult and the work is tiring, after finishing it, I found that the axioms and structural symbols The understanding of graphics is really deep again!" With his emotions relaxed, he was not as dull and dull as usual.

Lucien put down the book in his hand, took it over and looked at it, and pointed out a few places that were not rigorous enough. After that, Leilia and Heidi finished it almost at the same time. They both heaved a long sigh of relief and handed the blank paper to To Lucien: "Mr. Evans, through practice, we do have a better grasp."

The three of them looked at each other, and they all saw each other's relaxation, and then asked together: "Mr. Evans, do you want to go to the restaurant for lunch together?"

Lucien said with the most gentle and handsome smile: "It's good to be able to understand and master it deeply, but this level is far from enough. You can continue to practice after lunch."

Watching Mr. Evans take out another stack of blank papers from behind, Annick, Leilia and Heidi's faces turned pale, and they seemed to see a devil's smile in a trance.
