Throne of Magical Arcana

Allinge, the magic tower of the parliament headquarters.

Rachel, who is always full of vigor, changed her magic robe into a dark color to show her mood, heavy and depressed, and nervously waiting. I haven’t heard about the paper submissions of Mr. Brooke and Mr. Roland yesterday. Will they pass the review before the publication of the "Arcane" journal? What was the result of the experiment? Does it negate Lucien's light quantum hypothesis?

Even under the influence of her friend Samantha, Rachel's cognitive world has changed a lot in the past three years. She cannot be called a firm supporter of the wave theory, and is even more inclined to the light quantum hypothesis that accurately predicts various experimental phenomena of the photoelectric effect. But the influence she received from the beginning of her apprenticeship, the classic double-slit interference image and Brooke's bright spot all reminded her that light has obvious fluctuating properties!

"Is it true that as Lucien said, we should look at the problem of waves and particles from a higher level and perspective?" A little confused, Rachel retracted her right foot before stepping on the elevator, and turned the corner. In the exchange area, although she should be able to see the latest issue of "Arcane" after waiting for half an hour at teacher Isabella's, she is eager to know the final result.

The pace sped up slightly, and when she was approaching the exchange area, Rachel found that the front was crowded with people, and she couldn't help but secretly sighed: "The wave-particle debate has indeed attracted widespread attention, usually when "Arcane" is released, how can there be so many magicians rushing to grab it?" Buy? How many arcanists below the high level can fully understand every paper on "Arcane"?"

Thinking this way in her heart, it didn't prevent her from pushing towards the exchange desk which was a little less crowded, but there was no sound coming out of the crowd, showing indescribable depression and despair.

"What happened?" This made Rachel full of curiosity, so she turned around and squeezed to the front of the surrounded exchange desk with the help of a few non-aggressive four- and five-ring magic.

Ah... The rapid and short screams stopped abruptly after only halfway out. The broken head, the brains and blood scattered all over the floor, and the corpse clutching a book of "Arcane" spread out all in a horrifying way. way into Rachel's pupils.

There are not a few arcanists around who have killed people with their own hands, but it is still a bit unbearable for someone to fall in front of them in such a way. After all, although they are familiar with the headshot when the world is subverted, they have actually recently There are not many examples in a hundred years. Except for the mid-level and high-level magicians of Elemental Will and Pale Hand, no one else has ever seen it. The scene of priests and bishops turning into holy torches and fireworks is occasionally encountered.

Those low-level magicians and apprentices who have not yet accepted the mandatory mission to go out showed expressions of shock and fear, and kept babbling words such as "Lucien Evans" and "Skull Crusher", as if the It was the demon lord who was about to crush their heads.

"The column "Chicken Soup for the Soul" is very popular among magicians, but few people seek psychological counseling and crisis intervention from teachers and illusionists like me. After this time, it seems that the situation will change a lot..." Rachel said extremely Amidst the depression, his thinking was quite derailed.

However, the main reason for the oppressive and hopeless atmosphere is not this horrifying picture, but the few lines of words written in thick black fonts on the spread out "Arcane Art":

"...Although I conducted the experiment to negate the light quantum hypothesis, the experimental results and images perfectly conform to the light quantum characteristics. I have to admit that my 'denial attempt' has initially proved the light quantum hypothesis..."

"——Edwin Brook, Grand Arcanist, the fourth level of the legendary profession 'Emperor of Control'"

Rachel raised her head slightly, looked at the silver ceiling of the hall at a forty-five-degree angle, and was as oppressive and quiet as the surroundings: "From the day I entered the magic school, I never thought that there would be such a day in the wave, shouldn't it be like Will this magic tower stand forever like the theoretical system of Lord Speaker Douglas and Lord Brook?"

"The world seems to have become unfamiliar..."

Rachel was so sentimental, she quietly slipped out of the crowd in a strange sad mood, returned to the hall of the Magic Tower in a daze, then stepped on the elevator, arrived at the Arcane Review Committee, and rang teacher Isabella's office The gate is like a child looking for comfort in the warm embrace of the "mother".

"Come in." Isabella's voice came from behind the door.

Hearing Isabella's answer, Rachel suddenly woke up, why did she come here? Shouldn't it be normal to go to the "Brain Wave and Hormone Center" next to the "Atomic Research Institute" and wait for the teacher? Isn't the teacher supposed to start from the magic tower at nine o'clock?

Gently pushing open the half-closed door, Rachel saw that the teacher's magic robe had changed into a long black dress with a white flower on her chest, and asked in amazement, "Who passed away?"

"Roland, Crystal..." Isabella said a few names with a sad face. She is not a high-level magician who was promoted recently, and she has more or less friendship with those stubborn old mages.

"Rom, Archmage Roland?" The image of the tall, thin and stubborn old man appeared in Rachel's mind, but the most impressive thing was the row of badges on his chest, which were dazzling halos.

Isabella nodded lightly, her eyes sparkling: "Yes, an archmage has fallen, an archmage who has won the highest honors in the fields of electromagnetism, light and darkness, and heat has fallen. The development of the eliminated..."

"This..." Rachel suddenly felt that the world was so bleak and cruel.

Isabella "smiled" without much emotion, and comforted: "Don't despair, don't be confused, this is normal. This reminds me of the days when I was young, when I could see Particle theory supporters have blown their heads, that’s why there are so few supporters of particle theory. You should be thankful that there are three years of buffer and foreshadowing this time, so the three light and dark field committee members who reviewed Lord Brook and Roland’s papers did not Death is just trauma to the soul, and it takes months to recover."

"En." Rachel has seen this period of history from the history of magic. It was the era when Your Excellency Brooke bloomed his talents and subverted the particle theory of light. The throne became the second legendary pinnacle of the parliament, and it was even said that a friend of Speaker Douglas, a member of the Supreme Jury at that time, the legendary magician was destroyed together with his demiplane.

However, it is one thing to read this period of history from books, and another thing to experience the "reproduction of this period of history" in person. Such a horrifying picture is simply uncontrollable.

Isabella saw that Rachel's face was still pale, so she walked in front of her, stroked her hair, and comforted her like a mother: "This will also be a time of growth. The days when Lord Brook brought changes In the past ten years, the parliament has added two great arcanists, His Excellency Helen and Vicente, and four other legendary magicians, which has almost doubled the strength of the high-level council. The number has become far more than before, I remember that when I was a child, there were about twenty archmages in the council, and now there are sixty-two... sixty-one."

"This is our opportunity. We must remember that we must not insist on it blindly, and we must not waver easily. Everything is based on facts."

Holm Glory Cathedral.

"Roland, 'Destroy Lightning', number seventy-six in the purification sequence." Baha'u'llah, the giant of the tribunal, read with a smile on his face: "Crystal, 'Blood Thunder', number two hundred and sixty-nine in the purification sequence Bit... I really want to award Professor Lucien Evans the 'Night Angel' medal in recognition of his outstanding contribution to eliminating evil magicians."

After staying in the Kingdom of Holm for a long time, he also learned the standard terms of the crown award, using it to laugh at Lucien.

The holy knight Shi Dong laughed loudly: "One archmage, three high-level magicians, twenty-seven middle-level magicians, and more people who recognize the broken and solidified world, if Lucien Evans is willing to become a vigil Man, with this feat, he can be ranked in the top five among the night watchmen!"

There are only three legendary powerhouses of the Inquisition, and one of them is an attached ancient magician, so he also entered the night watchman ranking. Since he has killed the top 30 legends in the purification sequence, he is undoubtedly ranked No. one. Although there are many high-ranking members of the night watchman team, there are no more than ten members of the ninth-ring level, and there are even fewer high-sequence ninth-level arcanists and nine-ring magicians who have purified Roland.

Philibel was also smiling. This was the happiest news in the last ten years. For the clergy, it didn’t matter whether light was a wave or a particle—someone was swallowed by the light before because Brooke proved that It is only the electromagnetic wave that stripped its sacred attributes, which caused the tragedy. As for the light quantum hypothesis, Philibel expressed no pressure.

He stroked his thick white beard and said with a smile: "It's a pity that Brooke didn't fall because of this, otherwise the Pope would have to confer the title of 'Saint' on Lucien Evans!"

"At the beginning, someone proposed to directly call Brooke a 'saint', but Lucien Evans seems to be a bit worse than him."

Hearing this obvious ridicule and ridicule of Lucien, Baha'u'llah and Stone laughed heartily, their voices full of schadenfreude.

"However, it is said that Brooke was also seriously injured. I don't know if the cognitive world has been broken and solidified. If there is, it is really a very ironic thing. It seems to be a punishment arranged by the Lord. At that time, how beautiful he was , ruined the cognitive world of countless magicians and the hearts of faith of the clergy, but unexpectedly, there will be a day when their own cognitive world will be broken and solidified." Philibel was extremely devout at this moment, believing in the God of Truth like never before exist.

"Only the truth endures." Hearing these words, Baha'u'llah and Stone both drew the cross and prayed.

After praying, the three looked at each other and smiled again. Philibel said humorously:

"Should we pray for the 'saint' Lucien Evans again, and pray that he will survive the rebound safely and continue to work hard for the glorious cause of the Lord?"

"New, alchemy?" Fernando read the title of the thick thesis in his hand word by word, staring at the calm and calm Lucien in front of him with bright red eyes full of suspicion.
