Throne of Magical Arcana

As the door opened, a layer of warm yellow light slowly emerged, illuminating the entire magic laboratory.

It is clean and tidy, with many utensils and alchemy arrays. Although it is not as mysterious, grand and complicated as the magic laboratory left by "Prophet" Maskelyne in the "Grand Cross" maze, it is more complex than Lucien himself before. The apprentice-level laboratory arranged is not known how many times better.

K pointed to one of the alchemy platforms: "Lucien, hehe, I feel like calling myself, you can use it to refine magic potions, I'm going to start magic experiments."

"Okay." Lucien didn't ask too much, rashly inquiring about the content of other people's experiments is one of the biggest prohibitions in the Magic Council.

There are often magicians with not so good character who secretly inquire about the direction and content of other people's experiments, and then design similar magic experiments, write and publish papers first, and obtain arcane points, arcane points, and status glory.

Because this method is easy to be confused with the situation where one direction of arcane research is carried out at the same time but the results are obtained first, the evidence is difficult to define, unless it is directly judged by magic such as detective thoughts. But magicians who dare to do this have the support of certain powerful forces behind them. Without sufficient evidence, they can completely refuse to accept magic such as investigative thoughts. It is easy to find excuses, such as being related to a certain major magic and magic. The secret of the ruins, etc.

What's more, some magicians who robbed other people's arcane research results, because of narrow-mindedness, worried that the original magicians would retaliate against themselves when they grow up, so they tried their best to trample them under their feet, or sent a Tasks that don't seem too dangerous make it "disappear".

These things, Lazar told Lucien when he introduced the common sense of the Magic Council.

The "Stone" magic potion is only to help stabilize the mental power, and the requirements are not high. Lucien is also a proficient in refining many potions. After three failures, he successfully refined a tube of brown turbid magic potion.

Seeing that it was still early, Lucien took out a tube of purified elemental materials and prepared to measure various properties by himself according to those papers.

At this time, K, whose back was turned to Lucien, suddenly said, "Lucien, besides refining magic potions, do you have any other magic experiments to do?"

"I, I don't want to inquire about your content, but if you really have an experiment that must be done, I can tell you how to open the 'secret lock' in this magic laboratory. You can use this magic laboratory."

His voice was deep and generous, echoing in the magic laboratory, giving people a feeling of peace of mind.

"Thank you, K. I'm new to the basics of elements, and I want to experiment with the properties of each element myself. As you know, I only have a magic level of one ring, and many properties cannot be determined by my own magic. The magic circle and alchemy circle in the laboratory." Lucien didn't show any pretense, turned around, and answered frankly, this was also laying the foundation for his future arcane research results, at least many people proved that he spent a lot of time to verify the properties of elements.

And I really need this kind of experiment to eliminate errors, to judge whether there are any laws in the various elements of this world, if there are, it will mean a lot.

However, after Lucien turned around, seeing that K was still doing the experiment, he turned around again to show that he would not spy on the contents.

"Then I'll tell you how to open the secret lock later." K's experiment seemed to have entered the stage of waiting for a certain result, so he was able to separate his mind to talk. Similarly, he was also worried that he might accidentally spy on Lucien's magic potion The content of the deployment did not turn around, "However, I may leave Douglas School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in a few months, and I cannot let you, Lucien, continue to use this laboratory."

While turning on the alchemy array to turn a small amount of purified elements into steam, and measuring the gas density with the alchemy array, Lucien asked curiously, "K, you want to leave? Why?"

"Hehe, when one of my previous papers passed the review, it was valued by the disciple of a Mr. Committee member. He is Mr. Larry of our elemental will, and he told me that if I can become an intermediate magician, then he is willing Let me study and research with him, and I feel that I am getting closer and closer to the third ring recently, so I want to get an item by completing a task to help promote." K explained slowly without showing off, but verbally expressed Ability is lacking.

Larry is the most promising high-level magician in the generation of Elemental Will. He is a student of Gaston, a magician with seven rings. He is already a level-five arcanist and magician with five rings. Moxi and others are even stronger. In other organizations, there are only a few six or seven people who can compare with him, such as Felipe who is younger than him but is already close to a fifth-level arcanist.

Lucien nodded slightly with his back to K: "Congratulations. Hehe, what is your paper? I want to find it."

"It hasn't been published yet, we have to wait for the "Element" journal next week. At that time, the school will have free ones to read." K was a little embarrassed by Lucien's question, and didn't directly mention the title of the paper, "I hope you can, Lucien. Complete the basic experiment as soon as possible, or after I leave, you will compete with other teachers to seize the speed of the laboratory."

Lucien laughed and said, "It turned out to be the journal "Element". No one in the school knew about it. K, it's great for you to keep it a secret. Well, I will hurry up and complete the experiment. K, you are really a good person who loves to help others."

"It's nothing. I just hope that everyone can help others as much as possible without delaying their own affairs." K replied with a smile.

With their backs facing each other, they occasionally chatted, but they mostly focused on their own experiments.

…………

It was early morning when Lucien returned to the garden villa, and Roque had already fallen asleep.

The pleasant tranquility amidst the faint scent of flowers made Lucien's mental state quickly adjusted to the best level. Then he opened the glass tube and drank the brown turbid "Stone" potion in one gulp.

Numerous irritating tastes, such as sourness, bitterness, and spicy taste, rolled violently in Lucien's mouth and throat, making him almost nauseated and throw up, but a strange coldness wrapped Lucien's mental strength and made it more stable.

After easing his taste and closing his eyes, Lucien quickly entered into meditation. The starry sky was still shining brightly. The gravitational force of the star of destiny and the three basic forces of fire, wind, and water formed a complete meditation environment.

Consciousness seems to be separated from the soul, calmly directing from the side, the mental power vibrates, bringing about a qualitative change in the soul, and bright starlight lines emerge one by one, forming a rather complicated three-dimensional spell model.

Since it hasn't involved complex issues such as curves, Lucien is able to construct this spell model with ease, and after more than a month of learning and making up for the structure of graphics and meanings in the existing arcane foundation, some of the previous problems were solved very easily. up.

With the closure of the last line, the complex spell model took shape, and a dazzling illusory light bloomed, dragging Lucien's onlooker consciousness back into the soul, wrapping the entire soul.

But at this moment, Lucien sensed a subtle change in the starry sky outside and the fire, feng shui meditation environment!

A little bit of light particles of different colors emerged leisurely, and there seemed to be a deep and mysterious arrangement between them, showing an indescribable complex structural figure, as if it represented a magic that Lucien had never seen before!

But its structure is so blurred and chaotic, when Lucien wanted to see clearly, his consciousness was already overwhelmed by the enhancement of soul and mental power brought about by the first second-level magic "mirror imagery".

Waves of violent wind and waves surged continuously like the first movement of the symphony of fate played by Lucien, and Lucien was like a sailboat thrown by the wind and waves on the sea, struggling to stay awake and not pass out.

Fortunately, Lucien has endured many blows and dangers, and his spirit and will have been honed to be quite tenacious, and he has the stubbornness of never giving up in his heart, and he finally survived until the illusory light disappeared.

A transparent and beautiful crystal was born in Lucien's soul, and the changes in mental power and soul reached the extreme without weakening.

"Finally a second-ring magician." As Lucien said, an indistinguishable figure, exactly the same as himself, jumped out of him.

"Mirror imagery", the illusion of the second ring, can help the body resist attacks before it is cracked by astrological prophecy and detection spells such as "true seeing". If the attack cannot break the mirror image, it will not be able to harm the body.

After experiencing the magic of the second ring, Lucien lifted the "Mirror Image Technique" and entered meditation again, but the light particles of different colors that he saw before disappeared, and the original environment was still there, as if he had just hallucinated .

But Lucien was very sure that he had indeed seen it, so based on his previous experience, he boldly speculated: "After I regarded earth, fire, feng shui as the four basic forces, the meditation environment changed, that is to say, the meditation environment is similar to my consciousness. Reflect, the more you know, the more specific you will be, and if the meditation environment and the laws of the world have a specific match, maybe you can sense each other?"

"I've been arranging the elements recently... Although some elements are not like the ones I know, I can still clearly feel the taste of the period from the properties. As long as I have a little more time to re-measure them, I can be sure to arrange them. A periodic table of elements and predicts elements that have not yet appeared. So when I advanced, the meditation environment changed because of this?"

"Does this mean that after I have completely verified the elemental cycle, they will really appear in my meditation environment after the next step? And their regular pattern seems to represent a magical fuzzy direction? As long as I have With enough knowledge of magic structure, there is a certain hope to create a new magic. But what kind of magic is it? 'Element cycle'? 'Element control'? I can't think of what effect the element cycle will have..."

"But why?"

While guessing, many questions arose. Due to his lack of knowledge, Lucien had no choice but to stop exploring for the time being.

…………

"Heidler" city, "Pale Hand" headquarters magic tower, in a dark study room.

Felipe stretched out his hands in the black windbreaker, and saluted with his right hand on his forehead: "Good afternoon, Director Rogerio. What do you want me to do?"

His attitude is very respectful, because the Rogerio in front of him is not only a high-ranking member of the Pale Hand, but also a member of the "Affairs Committee" of the Magic Parliament. President.

Rogerio, with short brown hair and no beard, was still wearing a black formal suit and a white shirt with wide cuffs. The Necromancer and the Council of Affairs represent the arcane Black Fire Emblem.

He was not as gloomy as other necromancers. He looked at Felipe with sunken dark blue eyes, and smiled slightly: "Felipe, how is your experiment going?"

"There is some progress, but it still takes time to break through the inherent thinking." Felipe sat down opposite Rogerio.

Rogerio nodded slightly: "That's right. I have a message about 'Professor'."
