Throne of Magical Arcana

Lavender's roar echoed in the hall like rolling thunder, shaking the ears of the arcanists. This is confused with the shock of witnessing the confirmation of the periodic table of elements just now. There is really a complex feeling of deafening, anticipation and fear. Even Gaston, Ofrey, Loughlini, Lydia and Lavin The members of the Audit Committee, who were not far behind in status, could not maintain their usual composure, and were a little excited and uplifted.

The confirmation of the periodic table of elements shows that the discovery of new elements in the field of element magic is no longer scattered and blind. It is described as a blind cat bumping into a dead mouse. It will be theoretically guided and regular Follow, there is a direction to move things forward!

"Explore the world, try to summarize laws from phenomena, and then deduce other phenomena from these laws." There is no research result in the field of elemental magic that is more in line with the spirit of arcane art than this research result!

In such emotions, they didn't react to Lavendi's question for a while, but there was an excited and anxious male voice in the corner of the hall:

"Mr. Lucien Evans X..."

"Mr. X Lucien Evans is here!"

After the words were repeated, the voice became louder, seemingly uncontrollable, and seemed afraid that others would not be able to hear it.

"Ah?" Lavender and most of the arcanists did not expect such an answer. Lucien Evans X is actually in the venue? !

Gaston and Larry realized immediately that the Lucien Evans they met earlier with the same name and surname as K was Mr. X! His arcane level is only one level, which fits perfectly with the signature under the title of the thesis!

Such a discovery, which can be called great, was actually summed up by a first-level arcanist and a first-level magician!

On the half-height metal platform, Leandro next to Lavender felt dizzy before his eyes, and his face became like a shriveled orange peel soaked in clear water for ten days. Countless thoughts in his mind were a mess, and he couldn't find the thread.

Everyone looked over, and it was Lazar who raised his hand in the corner to answer. He was wearing his usual black double-breasted long dress, and his expression was extremely excited. After he received Lucien's letter, he set up the venue Given the opportunity, I flipped through the temporarily printed "Element" periodical, and focused on reading Lucien's paper on the periodic table of elements, and was deeply impressed by its content.

Therefore, during the experiment at Lavender's site just now, every data or every property measurement hit his soul like a stormy sea.

This guess based on the periodic law of elements is so accurate, it is more worthy of the title of prophecy than the vague prediction of the astrological system, as if he has seen the new element with his own eyes!

This is something so miraculous that even magicians can't believe it. Lazar was naturally dizzy and his head was swollen. It wasn't until Lavender's roar came to his ears that he came back to his senses: this magical paper with terrifying value was written by his friend Lucien Evans! I was the first to know the X letter after his name!

Great joy and glory hit Lazar. Although he was worried about being scolded by the grumpy archmage Lavendi, he still raised his hand without hesitation and shouted out.

Lucien beside him closed his eyes tightly after the atomic weight of the new element was determined, and his adventure finally succeeded!

Joy, excitement, happiness, fear and other emotions kept fermenting and reverberating in Lucien's heart. If this new element was a strange isotope, then he didn't know when his paper would be taken seriously. Teachers are labeled as blind and arrogant without corresponding strength, and the next paper will be subject to unspeakable implicit discrimination. Apart from relying on Holm's crown ring to accept the protection of the will of the elements, there is no other way in a short time.

Of course, Lucien's certainty about this is far greater than the premonition of failure, because analyzing this group of elements in another world, it can be roughly judged that even if it has isotopes, those that can exist stably will not affect their status in the periodic table. arrangement.

But no matter what, starting from correcting the atomic weight of elements and repeatedly judging that the elements of this world have periodic laws according to the laws of properties, due to the lack of strong evidence, uneasiness still accompanied Lucien, and Lavender's experiment shook himself and himself. At the same time as the other arcanists, Lucien's mind was also stabilized.

Deducing other phenomena according to the laws is easy to say, but how many people can stick to the laws they summed up before the phenomena are not confirmed?

Arcanists such as Lavender and Timothy saw a restrained young man standing quietly beside the excited Lazar. He was wearing a black bow tie and a double-breasted long dress of the same color. He was both formal and handsome. , The black pupils are dark and deep. .

"You are Lucien Evans X?" The subject was too young, and Lavendi asked in a little surprise.

The hall was also quiet. Except for Gaston, Larry and other magicians who were prepared, other arcanists could hardly imagine Lucien's youth. They thought he was a low-level arcanist who had been studying the properties of elements all the year round. The periodic law was discovered by accident, but it seems that this is not the case. This is a real young man!

Lucien came back to his senses when Lavendi roared, controlled his excitement, and kept smiling and said: "Yes, Your Excellency Lavendi."

It is not in line with the tradition of the Magic Council to be a lord who is only a legendary nine-ring magician, but Lavindi is the vice president of the will of the elements, so it is not a big problem to use this title.

Lavendi narrowed his eyes, inspired a magic impossibly, directly read the record of Lucien's arcane badge, then nodded and said: "Evans, you come up, I think you will come at the end of today's meeting Present your thesis. Its great significance, I believe that every arcanist present can understand, I don't need to say more. This 'Annual Conference on Elements and Alchemical Magic' will be because of you and your research The results will be recorded in the annals of magic!"

"No, Mr. Lavender." Gaston stood up, and under everyone's puzzled eyes, he smiled and said, "The significance of the periodic table of elements still needs to be clarified. I was too negligent in reviewing the paper this time." , Therefore, I would like to jointly file an application with Mr. Offrey to the committee, requesting to re-evaluate this paper, and give Evans the glory, praise, points and arcane points he deserves!"

Offrey also stood up and nodded, expressing his agreement.

If the assessee is not satisfied with the review results of his thesis, he can complain to the Arcane Review Committee. As long as two of the committee members agree and apply jointly, the thesis can be re-evaluated.

Gaston and Ofrey, two old foxes, witnessed the great shock brought by the periodic table of elements, discussed with each other and decided to apply by themselves.

On the one hand, they made mistakes for their own students, and on the other hand, they also had opponents, enemies who were not convinced by their reputation as an authority in the field, and always wanted to drive them out of the Arcane Arts Review Committee. These enemies will definitely not let go of the "absurd" assessment of a "crown level in the element field" paper that only gives one arcane point and one arcane point.

Since you can't hide it from the past or suppress it, you might as well ask for a re-evaluation yourself to show your fairness and humility.

Lucien took a deep breath, took a step, and walked through the aisle between the seats of the Arcanists.

Not knowing who would start first, each of the arcanists got up from their seats to pay their respects, like a welcome crowd.

"I regret that I didn't discover the value of this paper in the first place." Larry sincerely pressed his left chest and bowed.

Timothy on the other side pushed his glasses: "Evans, if you put those atomic weights that have not been experimentally corrected in the last article of the paper, maybe I will go to you that night. But no matter what, this time it is my fault." A lesson worth remembering. Hehe, the matter of your dissertation will definitely become a good story in the magical world in the future, and Larry and I will be the clowns that set off your tall image in the good talk."

He is humorous and straightforward, similar to his style of studying explosive magic, but contrary to his elegant and gentle appearance.

"At least two of them made my thesis pass the review." Lucien didn't have a bad impression of the two of them.

After walking a few more steps, when he passed Ulysses, he pinched his nose and said bitterly: "No matter what other people have doubts, I completely believe in Evans' periodic table of elements. In fact, I once I was close to this result, but I gave up the idea because I couldn’t explain the atomic weights of those elements. Bold assumptions and careful verification are more difficult than I always thought in the past, and authority and experience have bound me.”

With the evidence of the discovery of new elements, Ulysses began to suspect that it was due to the limitations of the measurement method that the atomic weights of several elements were wrong and could not be corrected.

Lucien smiled and nodded: "Mr. Ulysses, if your thesis on the laws of elements hadn't inspired me, I'm afraid I wouldn't have made bold assumptions when studying the properties of elements."

At this time, an arcanist who had heard the dispute between Lucien and Leandre but couldn't understand Leandreu greeted him: "Mr. At the annual meeting!"

Hearing this sentence, Leandrew on the half-height metal platform really wanted to faint.

"Mr. Evans, welcome to the 'Annual Conference on Elements and Alchemical Magic'."

"I look forward to your speech, Mr. Evans."

These arcanists were not familiar with Lucien, but under the double impact and shock of the experiment and thesis just now, they made gestures of welcome and praise that were rarely seen in normal times.

Lucien stepped onto the half-height metal platform, bowed slightly to Lavender respectfully, and then walked behind the podium.

"Mr. Evans, I have a question." LeAndrew thought of something, and asked before Lucien's speech: "The discovery of this new element is too coincidental, did you discover it a long time ago, and then combined the properties of the new element before releasing it?" This periodic table of elements? Only in this way can your 'guess' be accurate to this extent. But in this case, the new elements will not be able to verify the correctness of your periodic table, because it is derived based on it."

Such doubts are shared by many arcanists.

Lucien didn't answer directly. He smiled and activated the magic circle of the scene, pointing to the elements of the periodic table: "Let's pretend that the new elements don't exist, and then take a closer look at the properties of the previous elements, and summarize their laws and strengths. Weak changes... This is how my speculation came about, do you think it is logical? Also, what magic minerals I bought are recorded in the headquarters, and you can check carefully whether they contain new elements."

The regularity was obvious, and the arcanists fell into thinking, and then Lucien pointed to several other vacancies: "Similarly, we can also make predictions for these new elements, and their atomic weights may be due to problems in the measurement method." There will be a discrepancy, but the nature will be as I infer."

"Gentlemen and ladies, I think you have collected a lot of strange ores. Why don't you think about which ores meet a specific description and see if you can find new elements with the method I predicted? I'm waiting for your verification."

Confident and firm, Lucien's attitude infected most of the arcanists, and they rarely felt that they were eager to try and began to recall their collections.

Just when they were about to suggest that the meeting be broken up to do experiments, Lucien continued:

"In fact, even if no new elements are discovered for the time being, even if my periodic table of elements still has some details, but ladies and gentlemen, can such a periodic law be denied?"

Without the shock of the previous experiment, it would be hard for the arcanists to believe in the pure summary, but when they looked at the table that seemed to contain infinite mysteries seriously, they all had to admit that periodicity is hard to deny!

Lucien raised his head slightly, looked around the hall, and said in a serious tone:

"The periodic existence of elements will be a new beginning for the development of our elemental magic, but I think the important thing is not to be able to find and discover new elements based on it, but to make us calm down and think, why do elements have periodic laws? "

"After I compiled this table, I have been full of doubts. Why do elements have periodic laws?"

The elemental field arcanists who were still immersed in the great discovery of periodicity suddenly became extremely quiet. High-ranking arcanists such as Lavender and Gaston all looked at Lucien in astonishment. The confident and steady attitude made them seem to see the figure of His Excellency Douglas, the chairman of the Magic Parliament!
