Throne of Magical Arcana

"Good afternoon, Miss Rachel." Lucien greeted with a smile. Although he had already guessed who the black-haired and blue-eyed lady beside Rachel was, he still asked politely, "I don't know this beautiful lady. yes?"

The first time Lucien met Rachel was at the discussion meeting on pollution in the affairs committee, she still maintained the vigor and vitality at that time, with a friendly smile in her flaxen eyes: "This is my teacher Isa Ms. Bella, I didn't expect to meet Mr. Evans on this floor.

"Good afternoon, Ms. Isabella." As a man, Lucien greeted first, "Congratulations on winning the crown of wizard, and congratulations on raising your arcane level to level seven."

Out of the corner of Lucien's eye, he noticed that the arcane emblem on Isabella's chest had turned into seven bright silver stars, and Rachel's arcane level had also been raised to level five.

Isabella, who was wearing a long black dress, smiled slightly: "Actually, I am planning to visit you Evans during this time. If there is no paper on your brain waves, the possibility of me and Rachel getting the laurels will be greatly reduced. It powerfully complements our prerequisites, but did not expect to meet you here earlier."

Whether it's sincere thanks or pure politeness, at least Isabella's words made Lucien sound very comfortable: "My thesis is just a supplement, and the research results of the two ladies are important enough to win the laurels. Hehe, I I applied to the Magic Research Council for an arcane research project, and today I will take a look at the laboratory environment."

"Research project? I don't know what it is? I also applied for an arcane research project, which is an in-depth study of the effects of electromagnetic waves and electric currents stimulating different parts of the brain. Today is also to see the experimental environment. I plan to I invite you to cooperate with us on this project, you have unique insights in the field of brain waves, but now it seems that you can’t do so.” Isabella’s smile is very standard, perfectly in line with etiquette, and she asked curiously.

The last sentence is her polite way of saying that she has enough ability and knowledge to complete this project. However, she and Lucien have no hatred in the past, nor have they had any grudges recently. Lucien himself is an arcanist with unlimited potential. Still standing in charge of the storm, maintaining a polite attitude is the best choice.

Having been approved, Lucien has nothing to hide, and said with a gentle smile: "I applied to the Magic Research Council for a project of 'Atom Research Institute', mainly to study the properties of atoms themselves and why they exhibit periodic laws. "

Rachel blinked. How did such a strange project, such a large and vague research direction, be approved?

The strong curiosity made her almost blurt out the question, but since the teacher was by her side, it would be very impolite for a student to interrupt suddenly, so she had to hold back forcibly.

"Atomic Institute?" Isabella opened her mouth slightly, repeating each word one by one. Although she knew each of them, she seemed a little confused when they were combined.

Lucien had already been mentally prepared for their reaction, and explained casually: "This is an attempt by the council to research a new field, because no one knows what will happen to them and what phenomena they will find after stepping into this new field of arcane arts. , no one can formulate plans and plans in detail before starting research, it needs to try and explore after repeated failures, and the establishment of the institute is to break through this predicament, to give a broad time and a certain degree of subsidy support, Only the direction is required, no specific planning is required, and researchers are given the greatest freedom of 'failure'."

Lucien said these words in a high-sounding manner, with the air of an official spokesperson of the Magic Research Committee.

"Extensive time? A certain degree of subsidy?" Isabella always felt that there was something wrong with this research project, and looked at Lucien suspiciously.

Lucien said with a chuckle: "There must be a result that satisfies the committee within three years before we can continue."

"Three years?!" Rachel finally lost control and blurted out. The arcane research project my teacher applied for is only one year old, and the subsidy given by the council depends on the progress and status of the research. However, Lucien's research institute seems to be fine as long as it is an achievement in the atomic field, and there are no strict requirements!

Even Isabella, a well-informed high-level arcanist, couldn't help but frown: "How can the research committee ensure that the three-year subsidy investment and magic laboratory transformation will not go to waste?"

She almost explained how to ensure that arcanists don't just apply for a new field - anyway, they don't need a complete plan and demonstration, how to ensure that fund fraud will not be rampant under this form of research organization!

"So the form of the research institute is only aimed at arcanists who have made outstanding contributions in this field, and their ability to conduct research in this area must be reviewed, and at the same time, an authoritative arcanist in this field must give an evaluation opinion." Lucien Without any shame, he talked freely, "If we really fail consecutively, it is also a necessary tuition fee for exploration and research in this field. After all, we are crossing the river by feeling the stones."

Isabella and Rachel couldn't help but spit in their hearts when they thought of the Lord of Storms standing behind this elegant gentleman with "righteous words" ! His talent in this area is comparable to his arcane talent!"

Thinking about her poor arcane research project, Isabella smiled more politely, and changed the subject without showing any trace: "This is indeed a beneficial attempt. Speaking of trying, I saw Ivan at Drummond's place. Your paper actually solved the problem that several great arcanists were puzzled by. To be honest, when I read those two papers first, I couldn’t think of how to unify the formulas from two different angles. I didn’t think about it at all. Ignore any actual arcane meaning and simply piece it together mathematically."

"Congratulations, you will have many times more chances of being 'talked about' by magicians in the future than me."

"The tragedy is that I'm still troubled by the meaning behind the formula." Lucien said a white lie.

But Isabella didn't pay attention to this, and the two were not familiar with each other, so they said goodbye after a few pleasantries.

"Is she Ms. Isabella?" Katrina looked at Isabella's back with implicit admiration and yearning. During the time she was working in the magician management department, she heard the most female high-level magic. The teacher is Isabella, and she also won the laurels "living up to expectations", "elegant, intellectual, beautiful, dignified, smart, strong, I really hope to be a lady like her."

Lucien smiled and said, "Then work hard, if you don't work hard, you will never have hope."

…………

July 30th, early morning.

"...Happy birthday, Natasha." Lucien put down the quill and sealed the envelope addressed to Natasha. There were still some trivia and music discussions inside, but a piano piece adapted from a birthday song was attached as a birthday Gift.

After doing all this, Lucien put the letter in his pocket and went to the restaurant to have breakfast.

Splinter, Katrina, Annick, Heidi and other magic apprentices and Lazar are already waiting in the dining room. Except for Cherie who is still studying in the magic school, they all quit their jobs and started preparing for the official ceremony in a few days. The "Atomic Institute" was launched.

"Lucien, Lucien! This issue of "Arcane" has been released ahead of schedule again!" As soon as Lucien sat down, a young man with disheveled hair rushed in, holding the "Arcane" with a dark black cover in his hand. "Arcane", "And in this issue of "Arcane", five great arcanists have written papers around your formula, analyzing the laws behind it, and your paper is to solve the problem of the other two great arcanists. The imperfect formula of the seven great arcanists are all centered on your thesis! Tsk tsk, this has never happened before! It is even more exaggerated than the theme of the previous issue that focused on Ms. Isabella’s thesis !"

The one who spoke was Lucien and Lazar's friend, Rock, a teacher at Douglas School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

After the Atomic Research Institute's application was approved, Lucien sent out invitations to his friends one by one, asking them to be his assistants. Since he didn't plan to hire many people, so the invitation letters were issued first and then waited for the previous people to veto. It was only issued to the people behind. In view of the generous salary, superior conditions, and three years of existence, Rock and Jerome agreed to come without hesitation. This is the most important three years for them to enter the middle class.

For the two friends to work with him, Lazar was delighted at first, and then joked, expressing his regret, why Lucien didn't hire a beautiful magician.

As for the middle-level arcanist, Lucien has not been able to find a satisfactory one. As long as the elemental mage has reached this level, as long as he has the corresponding arcane research ability, he can learn from the teacher or serve as an assistant. Even better, he can carry out important tasks by himself. For arcane or magic research, as well as adventure and exploration outside, few people have nothing to do, such as K, Larry, Timothy, Ulysses, etc., all politely declined Lucien's invitation.

However, Lucien's mandatory mission will have to wait until next year, so he is not in a hurry to recruit, anyway, he will preside over it.

Rock's exaggerated tone and content of the description aroused strong curiosity from Lazar, Heidi and the others, and they all got up and asked, "What paper? What paper by Mr. Evans (Lucien)?"

Actually, the papers of the seven great arcanists are all related to him? !

"It's a thesis on black body radiation. He solved the formula problem that the two great arcanists couldn't perfect!" Rock was still excited because of the situation he had never seen before. The seven great arcanists, more than two years ago When I met Lucien, I never imagined such a day would come.

"Really? Really?" The apprentices surrounded Rock like a flock of chirping birds, and stretched their necks to try to read the text on it—although the content was incomprehensible, the signature of the paper was always recognizable.

Lazar was "rejected" by them, and he spread his hands helplessly at Lucien: "Why don't you tell me what it is?"

The excited atmosphere lasted for quite a while before the apprentices looked at Lucien proudly, the teacher is really great!

And Rock and Lazar have already frowned: "Why can't they explain it? Lucien, what law is hidden in your formula?"

They have roughly read the analysis of the five great arcanists. Although they don't believe that they have the ability to deal with this problem, they always hold a glimmer of hope that maybe they will be favored by fate at some point. Sean also solved the problems of the great arcanists?

So they gradually thought deeply, and the more they thought, the more they felt that Lucien's formula could not be explained from any point of view. Perhaps, as the great arcanists mentioned in unison, from the perspective of subversion, from the contradiction with the current arcane system direction to assume the premise?

"If I knew, I would write a paper and submit it." Lucien said a white lie again.

Enen, the two of them nodded and fell into deep thought again. It wasn't until Lucien finished his breakfast and was about to leave that Lazar asked curiously: "Lucien, you have studied for so long, you should have a new direction Don’t worry, I’m just curious, and I’m always unwilling to solve this mystery, so I won’t write a paper.”

"I'm considering starting from the perspective of the new theory of molecular motion in the thermodynamic system." Lucien replied lightly, with a soft sigh in his heart.

At the "Arcane" headquarters, Drummond fell into deep thought after listening to his subordinates' report on the completion of the journal launch. The seven great arcanists had never written papers on a topic that was not a sensation at the same time.

This made him feel vaguely uneasy.

Is there any secret behind this formula?
