Throne of Magical Arcana

"Longbogen" hotel, in a large guest room that was temporarily converted into a magic laboratory.

"Mr. Evans, here are the two third-level magic spells, 'Growth of Thorns' and 'Fountain of Harvest' that you want." Elestine handed Lucien two pieces of paper that were withered and yellow like tree bark but elegant in a cold and disgusted tone. .

This kind of "elven paper" is made of the bark that falls naturally from the elven tree. It is a specialty of the elven family. It is praised by many magicians in the magic council as one of the best materials for making high-level magic scrolls. The skin is comparable, but unfortunately the quantity is limited, and there is often no market for the price.

These two Druids from the "Nature Hate Faction" were worthy of being members of the Elven Royal Court. They were so generous when they made a move, which made "Hillhill" Lucien quite envious.

After receiving two pieces of paper with divine spells, Lucien saw that the "three-dimensional" imprints on them were very messy, and many parts felt missing and fragmented, without the mysterious balance that a supernatural power model should have, so he slightly Frowning, he said, "Prince Exilion and Princess Eilestin, I don't think these two imprints of magic are complete. Since you are here to cooperate, you'd better show your sincerity."

"Our sincerity is to destroy the cooperation as much as possible!" Elestine cursed secretly in her heart, and then replied with an elegant and perfect but cold smile: "Mr. Evans, we are druids, not magicians. The extraordinary power we use comes from Because of the gift of nature, only with a heart that loves and protects nature can one feel the will of nature, remember and construct a divine magic model from it. We have never learned and will never learn the analysis of divine magic imprints And drawing knowledge, we have done our best to be able to draw like this."

Exilion was very satisfied with his sister's explanation, and added in a haughty tone: "If you want to see the complete imprint of the divine arts, we can directly map the divine arts by making magical items, but that would have The protection of natural will can only be destroyed, and the contents inside cannot be analyzed. Mr. Evans, do you have the ability to penetrate the natural barrier while keeping the divine seal intact?"

What he said was true. There were also many magical items seized by the Magic Council, but they still stalled in cracking the mysteries of divine magic. One of the reasons is that most high-level magicians have no way to stabilize the internal structure of the divine magic mark when bypassing the divine magic barrier.

However, the great arcanists who have this ability, after eliminating the magic barrier, found that according to the construction principle of the magic imprint, they need to rely on the inexplicable "power" in the dark, and this power is temporarily unpredictable, so If the druids cooperate with magic at the critical moment of analyzing the principle, it may be beneficial.

Lucien has a level nine magical item "Crown of the Sun" on his body, but he has been unable to analyze the magical imprint in it except for leaving a spiritual imprint to activate the divine art according to Maskelyne's message. Therefore, after seeing the uncooperative attitude of the two druids, he said in the tone of a research madman: "Okay, then Mr. Theodore, Mr. Julien and I will analyze this part of the imprint first."

"Since you, Mr. Evans, are ready to start, it seems useless for us to stay. We want to go out first, observe the conditions of the land and other research groups, and lay a good foundation for our future experiments." Although a bit arrogant Impulsive, unable to control his mouth, but Exilion, who was born in a royal court, still has a good talent for finding high-sounding excuses.

Lucien pushed the gold-rimmed glasses: "No, we need you to cast magical spells for us to observe and sense during the analysis, otherwise we have no way to continue. Don't you two cooperate sincerely?"

Before the Elven Royal Court and the Elder Druids of the "Natural Hatred Faction" gave further orders, neither Exilion nor Elestine dared to say openly that they just didn't cooperate and came to make trouble. The council gave him an excuse to put him and others under house arrest, and the elf royal court would not question such obviously unreasonable things afterwards.

So the two elves replied gloomily: "Of course we cooperate sincerely, but Mr. Evans, we have nothing to do when you analyze the magic. Do you just sit and wait like this?"

"You can sleep, you can pray to the will of nature, you can talk quietly, you can read the books I brought, in short, stay here so that I can get cooperation as soon as I need it." Lucien tried his best to imitate the inhumanity of the obsessive experiment "If you still feel that there is nothing to do, here are some math exercises for beginners, do you want to do it?"

This is a Mathematical Olympiad exercise for Annick, Splinter and the others to "exercise thinking".

Looking at the thick stack of white paper in Lucien's hand, and the numbers on it that seem to contain infinite mysteries and curses, Exilion and Elestine, who obtained the imprint of divine magic by merging natural will, suddenly felt dizzy. Bloated, dizzy, throbbing feeling, they are the worst at math and hate math!

"This Mister 'Elemental Order', when he is not studying arcane arts or discussing meat, he is really an elegant gentleman with a humorous conversation, profound knowledge, good looks, polite manners, and a good appreciation of art His strength and calm temperament are more attractive than many male elves, but as long as there is meat eating and arcane magic, he will completely reveal his devilish, evil and ruthless side, making people hate and disgust him!" Elestine, who had a pretty good sense of Lucien, secretly regretted the duplicity of a "gentleman", and hated him to the point of itching.

After Exilion and Elestine sat on the chairs in the corner of the laboratory surrounded by elf guards, Theodore glanced at the complex imprint of divine magic, and then cast the "message technique" to tell Lucien: " Seeing these models gives me a headache, and the next analysis is all up to you!"

This is a short-distance communication magic. It was originally the second ring in the ancient magic empire, but after being simplified and improved by many arcanists, it became an apprentice-level magic. It uses special energy to wrap the sound wave transmission, and it is suitable for within ten meters.

At the same time, Julian's headache sounded in Lucien's ears through the "messaging technique". He was also afraid of the mathematical basis required for reverse analysis of divine magic.

After handing over the "heavy burden" to Lucien, the two combat mad mages pretended to look at the imprint of divine magic, writing with the quill floating in their hands, but in fact they were painting the winter scenery with great interest.

"In this way, am I the only one analyzing magic?" Lucien was deeply "desperate" for this arcane research team, and then took out a stack of blank papers, and began to answer the mathematical foundations laid out by Lavendi. topic.

Since he did not study advanced mathematics in depth in his previous life, Lucien still had many flaws in his foundation in this area, which he quickly made up for with the help of Lavendi's guidance. After all, the Magic Council that started the study of complex variable functions is equivalent to the earth's junior high school in the 19th century. The standard of this period has exceeded the scope of most people's common sense learning.

Except that there is no book that can unlock the seal in the Soul Library, Lucien currently only has a few mathematical knowledge ahead of the Magic Council, such as linear algebra (matrix), axiomatic system, and mathematical conjectures that he does not know the answer to.

In this world, because mathematics fully embodies the spirit of serving exploration practice and magic application, there are not many researches on number theory and conjectures. Lucien once thought that he would use those famous mathematical conjectures after he became a high-ranking member of the Magic Council. Propose them one by one and compile and publish them, so that arcanists from other worlds can enjoy a "mathematical feast".

In the corner, Elestine and Exilion looked at Lucien's serious and handsome side face, and the quill that kept swiping, and felt as happy as they wanted: "No matter how serious you are, how genius you are, , in the case that the imprint of the divine arts is not complete, let me see how you can quickly reverse analyze it?!"

This kind of happy mood of succeeding in the scheme and gaining the upper hand fermented in the hearts of the two elves, making them feel that the time is not difficult.

As time passed by, Lucien suddenly said, "Prince Exilion, please cast the magic spell of 'Growing Thorns'."

Exilion's face became serious, and he released the three-ring magic as quickly as possible. Clusters of dark green bushes that looked like iron thorns appeared in the room, and soon completely covered the laboratory floor, making it difficult for people to step on the ground. , and it shone with dim light, which seemed to be able to pierce the knight's defense.

"Very good, I was inspired." Lucien nodded blankly, then turned around and continued doing math exercises

After a while, Lucien's request sounded again without any emotion:

"Princess Elestine, please cast the divine spell 'Fountain of Harvest'."

"OK."

Divine fluctuations are generated.

...

"Prince Exilion, please use the 'Fountain of Harvest'."

...

"Princess Elestine, please release 'Growing Thorns' again."

…………

The requests echoed in the laboratory again and again, and the magical fluctuations were generated again and again.

"It's lunch time, Mr. Evans, how is your analysis going? Have you figured out the principles behind the magic?" Exilion asked a little tiredly, getting up. Although in order to hinder the analysis, they procrastinated from time to time with the excuse that they needed to recover, but at lunch time, they each released dozens of magic spells.

Lucien put away the white paper on the table, and told them with a serious face: "I'm sorry, due to the incomplete imprint of the divine arts, my analysis has not made any progress."

Exilion and Elestine couldn't help cheering in their hearts, and at the same time squeezed out expressions of understanding: "It's okay, Mr. Evans, everything is difficult at the beginning, so don't worry."

"En. Let's have lunch first." Lucien said with difficulty maintaining a dead face. A problem has been solved, and you can enjoy the food with a happy mood,

At the mention of lunch, Theodore, who was almost asleep, darted out like Julien Rabbit.

"By the way, Mr. Evans, please return those two 'elf papers' to us. I think you have memorized the imprint of the magic spell." Elestine is not willing to take advantage of this hateful magician!

Lucien's heart ached immediately.

…………

Three days later, Elestine and Exilion, who were "trapped" in the magic laboratory and couldn't get out, accidentally heard that other research groups had started experimenting with land, so they found Lucien suspiciously.

He hasn't made any progress yet? Could it be that he is perfunctory to his siblings?
