Throne of Magical Arcana

Douglas School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, in Jerome's garden villa.

"Hehe, your name is Lucien Evans too?" A handsome young man with black messy hair was full of smiles. He was wearing a black waistcoat casually over a white shirt, and he was not wearing a long dress or suit. "K always It is said that his name is very common, but I always don’t believe it. I didn’t expect it to be true, and I can meet it in one school. Well, I admit that Tom, Jack, etc. are very common, and there are five pairs of names in the school. Exactly the same!"

He is Roque, the second-ring magician introduced by Lazar. He is good at elemental magic and basic mathematics.

Before Lucien could answer, Rock continued to say, "I will definitely introduce you to K. It's great to have the same name and surname! Lucien, don't worry, K is a very easy-going person, although he was silent, He is a bit introverted, but he is hard-working and talented, and he is willing to help others, as long as he has a question, he will try his best to answer it, unlike some guys from the electromagnetic faction, who have eyes on the top of their heads!"

"Since the last issue of the "Arcane" journal, Mr. Brooke confirmed that light is a special electromagnetic wave with magic experiments, they have clamored that spiritual power is also a kind of wave, and laughed at us who insist on the particle theory of spiritual power every day. People, don’t even think about it, there are still several magic experiments that cannot be explained by waves, and your Excellency the Speaker has not responded to this yet!”

Lucien glanced at Lazar amusedly. He thought he was talkative, but he was far behind Roque, but from Roque's words, Lucien also grasped the latest research trend of the Magic Council , so I kept smiling and listening politely.

Lazar on the side said helplessly: "Rock is like this. Hey, since the release of the last issue of the Arcane Journal, I, a magician who runs around, don't feel that they have lived in Allinge for a long time." The magician of the theory of spiritual force particle theory has felt great pressure. Well, although I also like the concept of spiritual force as particles, the proof of electromagnetic waves alone makes me sad, but the blow to the church is devastating Yes, their theory that 'it is only created by God' has been completely shattered. When I think of this, I am very happy and feel very proud."

Jerome, who was more astrological, and his beautiful wife, Vera, didn't intervene, and listened to Rock and Lazar's complaints with a smile all the time.

The elemental magicians who studied elements and established the concept of atoms seemed to be natural supporters of the "spiritual particle theory". If it weren't for the pressure from the church outside, it seemed that Rock wanted to fight hard with those electromagnetic system magicians.

When the discussion between the two of them stopped, Lucien and Jerome were already sitting on the sofa, drinking the Earl Gray tea made by Vera leisurely.

The brown-haired, ordinary-looking, slightly fat Jerome didn't talk much, but his whole person naturally exuded a happy and vigorous atmosphere, and his wife Vera was a beautiful red-haired girl, about twenty-three or four years old, quiet Qingli.

"Mr. Evans, drink your black tea first, and I'll go to the kitchen to prepare dinner for you." Vera left politely.

This caused Rock to sigh: "Why can you find a good girl like Vera, Jerome, and those girls around me don't know how to be a good wife?"

"Hehe." Jerome smiled proudly and a little shyly, but did not answer.

Lazar didn't want to bring up such a "sad" topic, so he turned to Rock: "Rock, how is the magic research project you are going to apply for?"

"What project?" Lucien asked cooperatively.

Mr. Roque replied in frustration: "Don't mention it, it has already been rejected, and the reason for the rejection turned out to be 'Sir, please don't joke'."

Then he mentioned with a little excitement: "Lucien, this is a very good project. As a scholar of the tower, I always think that everything can be expressed by numbers, such as the power of magic, defense and weakening. The degree, etc., and what is lacking now is the problem of standardization. We need to measure the data of magic released by different magicians, and organize them into different tables. If magicians who have disputes want to fight in the future, they can compare the data of their magic. ..."

"Sir, please don't be joking..." This was Lucien's first reaction. It is good to try to do similar digital descriptions, but even with supercomputers, it is very difficult to simulate the real magic release. After all Any change in the magician's physical and psychological state will affect the power of his own magic, not to mention that the power of some magic itself is random within a certain range.

Lucien would definitely not show this kind of reaction rudely, but casually said: "What if some of the two magicians have strong magic and some have weak magic?"

"That's right." Rock took a stack of blank paper from the table next to him with great interest and began to write, "My total spiritual power is 105, and Lazar's is 96..."

A series of numbers were reported, which aroused Lazar's dissatisfaction: "Why is mine so low?" Then the two began to quarrel.

Jerome smiled helplessly at Lucien: "That's how they are, they love to play."

"So they are good friends." Lucien thought of Lazar's previous words of "belittling" Rock, and now it seems that it is also suitable for him.

Then, Lucien and Jerome ignored Lazar and Rock and discussed the topic of astrology and elements. One of the two had a terrifying depth of knowledge, and the other had more practical application. .

"Hehe, gentlemen, please enjoy dinner." Vera walked in, with the maid pushing the dining cart behind her.

Lucien and Jerome put down the white-glazed cups containing black tea, and turned their heads to see Lazar and Rock playing "cards" very attentively.

"I use 'Magic Missile' with a power of 5." Rock threw out a piece of paper.

With a serious face, Lazar took out another one from his hand: "Yangyan body protection, defense power 7."

...

"Gentlemen, what are you doing?" Jerome woke them up curiously.

Rock frowned and thought for a while: "I admit that this is a failed magic research project." Then he smiled brightly, "But it is a very fun card game! Uh, I have to prepare a sieve."

Lucien was dumbfounded immediately, and Rock really had a strange thought and jumped.

"Ah, I can smell the aroma of steak and grilled fish, Vera, you are such a good girl." Rock started another topic with an unimaginable speed of thinking, "Why do you like Jerome? "

Vera smiled quietly: "I think Jerome's appearance is very charming when he is focused and serious."

"It's really enviable. Why can't I meet you!" Both Rock and Lazar patted their faces lightly, and Lucien was also a little envious of the love of their couple.

After the dinner, Lucien and Roque sent Lazar away, and walked back to the garden villa where they lived among the strange plants in the magic garden.

In the magic school, except for married teachers like Jerome, only second-level arcanists are eligible to live in a garden villa by themselves. After all, there are a lot of teachers. Therefore, before sending Lazar away, Roque negotiated with the magician to live with Lucien in exchange.

And Lucien originally wanted to go to the laboratory tonight to use ether and other materials to refine a potion "Stone" that assists mental stability and help him break through to the second level, but the busy day made him a little tired and felt that The state is not suitable for refining pharmaceuticals, so I plan to go after finishing the course the next afternoon.

…………

The next day, the "thorn tree" class.

"Today's 'Ancient Magic Language' class has been replaced by Mr. Evans!" Heidi looked at Lelia and Annick mysteriously.

Annick was very puzzled and said: "Mr. K? He is a second-level arcanist and second-level magician. Shouldn't he only teach high-level apprenticeships?"

"I don't know, I just heard from the monitor Grant." Heidi shook her head.

At this time, other apprentices in the 'Tree of Thorns' class were also discussing with each other, and even Splinter, who had always been lazily lying on the table and didn't like to communicate with other strange apprentices, also sat up. his memories.

When the ding bell rang, the apprentices suddenly fell silent, obeying the school rules and stopped talking, and the expressions of Splinter and Katrina also became serious. Ever since they were hit, they all understood the importance of hard work and hard work. I listened attentively to each lesson.

After being quiet for a while, Heidi and Leilia's eyes suddenly opened wide, and they saw Lucien, who was wearing a black double-breasted long dress and wearing a soft hat of the same color, walking in.

"Yes, it's really Mr. Evans!" They blurted out, ignoring a small violation of the school rules, their faces full of surprises, causing other apprentices to look at them curiously.

Annick grinned and scratched his flaxen hair vigorously, unable to believe it was real.

Both Splinter and Katrina didn't know how to describe their mood at this time, probably a little happy and a little depressed, as well as inexplicable expectations.

Lucien took off the soft hat and put it on the table. He nodded to Annick and the others, then smiled gently at the apprentices, "I'm Lucien Evans, you can also call me Mr. X, I will be in charge in the future. Teach them the 'language of ancient magic'."

"In my class, you can sleep, you can do magic analysis, you can be in a daze, or you don't have to do the exercises I sent out. The only requirement is that you don't disturb the apprentices who are studying hard. If you don’t pass the assessment at the end of the course, then I will definitely give you the worst evaluation and let you re-learn this course. People who think they are talented and capable can try. And usually listen carefully and seriously Those who do the exercises, I will convert this part of the score into the assessment result."

The apprentices were stunned listening to Lucien's speech, as if they were listening to a legendary story. There had never been such a magic teacher in this strict and rigid magic school. He was even allowed to sleep in his class, so he didn't need to listen!

But the result was too serious, and some magic apprentices who thought they were geniuses didn't dare to try it.

Then they saw that Lucien took out a stack of white papers out of nowhere, smiled and said kindly: "Okay, today is the first class, I need to find out everyone's level, and let's do some exercises."

"Ah!" Annick, Leilia, and Heidi's faces immediately collapsed when they heard the practice, recalling the not-so-good memories. Mr. Evans really never changes, his smile is like a devil !

The other apprentices were completely puzzled by the painful screams of the three of them, but felt that this Mr. X was kind and gentle, and very cool!
