Throne of Magical Arcana

Although Natasha didn't quite understand why Lucien was so serious all of a sudden, his views on the law of cause and effect and his firm attitude still made the inexplicable discomfort in her heart melt like ice and snow meeting the sun, and everything was doomed Well, a world that cannot be changed at all is the most hopeless and lifeless world.

Feeling the warmth of being held and listening to the solemn and solemn voice, the cheerful and optimistic Natasha quickly recovered her true colors, no longer entangled in this topic, and smiled: "Are you planning to create an opera for me?"

"How do you know?" Lucien asked in surprise.

Natasha laughed and said, "My eyes are very sharp. When I was in your study this afternoon, I spotted a manuscript on the bookshelf, "Valkyrie". I think it should be given to me."

She has no modesty about the title "Valkyrie", and she takes it for granted that it should be herself.

Lucien sighed softly: "I originally planned to invite the opera troupe to perform on my birthday to commemorate the first anniversary of our confession to each other, but this year, for Sard's affairs, for the Magic Council and our future, There has been no extra time to write, and the script is more difficult than I imagined, especially the music, which is only one-third completed today."

Although this is based on the works on Earth, it is basically a new long-form creation, which made Lucien encounter many difficulties.

Natasha smiled without hesitation: "It doesn't matter, you can wait for next year, the year after, and many, many years. When it comes to opera, I plan to sponsor the Rentat Musicians Association, encourage the development of music, and reshape a music capital .”

She is a person who really loves music. Since she can't return to Alto for the time being, let Rentat also become a holy place for music.

"If I have free time, I will guide the musicians of Rentat." At this time, Lucien already had the confidence to say such words. Although the creation of "Valkyrie" this time was difficult, he allowed himself to truly learn He is no longer an ordinary musician who can only write piano sketches and arrange some movements, but is almost at the level of Teacher Victor.

And this rapid progress is due to the learning of a lot of advanced music knowledge in the soul library, thanks to his own efforts and the speed of thinking brought about by the strengthening of the soul.

On the tree-lined road at night, the cool breeze was refreshing. Natasha took a deep breath and said humorously: "Then I would like to thank you, Master, on behalf of the musicians of the Kingdom of Holm. If you don't mind, I want your Uncle Joel to enter the association." , bringing Aalto's musical trends and latest developments here."

Relying solely on the smuggled "Music Review" and "Symphony Guide" can only show the top-level things, and cannot let musicians learn the real foundation.

"Of course I don't mind, as long as Uncle Joel is willing." In the past few years of communication, Lucien learned from Natasha that after the excitement brought by the noble life at the beginning, Joel started studying music again. Very hardworking, not at all like a middle-aged man.

Natasha glanced at Lucien, her silver-purple eyes concealed a smile: "I said this topic just to ask you, when will you meet your Uncle Joel and the others, the church has already withdrawn, there should be nothing else It's dangerous. The intelligence personnel secretly protecting them also reported that under the influence of the mysterious voice and the enjoyment provided by the convenient alchemy items around them, their views on magicians and priests have changed significantly, and there should be no radical Moreover, they should still miss you in their hearts, in order to know your news, they often stay up all night listening to the 'World Reality' channel that they don't understand at all."

Listening to Natasha's simple description, Lucien's heart was suddenly filled with emotion and warmth. He has only been in this world for more than eight years, but it seems that he has passed his whole life and experienced countless things, so he said in a low voice: "I In a few days."

"Be happy, this kind of thing should be happy." Natasha made an encouraging and charging gesture playfully, and changed the subject by the way, "Mr. Great Musician, have you had any transformative music ideas in recent years? You have always Known for being subversive, it is really unaccustomed to a work that has not innovated and changed for several years."

Lucien looked at her with a smile: "Why not, I have linked music creation with mathematics."

"Eh? Music creation and mathematics? How can this be connected?" Natasha asked in surprise. Music is a country full of free and unrestrained thoughts, while mathematics is the most rigorous and restrictive field. How can they be put together? It's not something divided and conceptual like the twelve equal laws, it's creation!

Lucien laughed and said: "So it is subversive, abandoning various traditional structural factors, such as theme, music logic, music motivation, phrases, passages, etc., and substantive elements such as rhythm, strength, and note density , timbre, etc. as parameters, use mathematical permutations and combinations to compile sequences, and then create according to such regulations.”

"It seems too cold...but it's very interesting, I don't know how effective it will be?" Natasha knew that this would not be the mainstream, and she was a person who had the courage to try, and with Lucien's status in her mind, she naturally had no resistance.

After finishing speaking, she sighed again: "This is really the thinking of an arcanist!"

"Go back and enjoy some small works for you." This is Lucien's sequence music work when he changes his mind and relaxes his brain, and it can be applied in electronic music in the future.

"Okay, if it sounds good, you can stay up late tonight and teach me!" Natasha said enthusiastically.

Lucien intentionally distorted her meaning and joked: "Stay up late? What do you seem to be running away from?"

"Where is it? Am I someone who escaped!"

…………

The next day, after sending Natasha away, Lucien briskly returned to the Institute of Atomic Sciences, and many experiments needed to be verified.

"Lucien, you look good!" Lazar looked like I understood, holding a journal in his hand.

""Arcane" was released in advance?" Lucien looked very similar to the cover, but at the meeting of the Supreme Jury, he only required the cover of the periodical to include the news that he had become a great arcanist, and did not require them to be released so many days in advance.

Heidi was still worrying about the extra tasks yesterday, and said disgruntledly: "Teacher, this is a special issue of "Arcane". The discovery of neutrons has confirmed the new alchemy. In order to celebrate this theoretical system that changed the times, This special issue is specially made, which contains the papers of the past year, including the confirmation of various predictions of new alchemy, and some related experiments."

"...There are also some questions about the imperfections of the new alchemy." Annick was silent for a while.

Splinter was a little angry: "The teacher has long said that New Alchemy is just a framework, and many problems have not yet been resolved. Why are they still collecting the problems in the special issue? Why can't they wait until the main issue next month? It always feels like questioning your new alchemy, teacher."

"What's the point? Any theory is perfect and solid after being questioned. If there is no doubt, I will feel uneasy. Besides, there are still many problems that have not been solved in the new alchemy, such as the inability to accurately describe the existence of multiple electrons. For example, it can only predict the frequency of the spectral line, but can't do anything about its intensity and width." Lucien understood the limitations of the current model of New Alchemy, and said in a good mood.

Katrina nodded: "Teacher, the questions you mentioned are all in the journal."

Lucien reached out to take "Arcane", and found that the silver and white lines on the dark black cover constituted several rows of text, the top two words: "Arcane", and the next three rows were "July 824, to celebrate The establishment of New Alchemy and congratulations to His Excellency Lucien Evans for winning the title of Grand Arcanist, this publication is hereby issued."

On the title page is the supplementary opinion of the thesis written by Douglas: "There is no doubt that the new alchemy has won a brilliant victory, greatly changed our era, and will always be remembered by arcanists. Five thousand, five hundred thousand arcane points."

And behind him are the opinions of the two review committee members at the beginning. Lavender and Prado co-wrote a sentence: "Now, we can fully add the praise in the previous review opinions to His Excellency Lucien Evans. .”

Finally, Drummond, the editor-in-chief of the "Arcane" journal, wrote on behalf of the entire journal: "During this period of time, the new alchemy has swept through the entire parliament like an unstoppable flood. Every discovery of a phenomenon, every The experimental results are all in good agreement with its 'prophecy'."

"It has become the highest code of law in the field of elements and alchemy, and it is the key to the mystery that opens the door to creation, making alchemy no longer a delusion without theoretical guidance."

"Through the new alchemy and general relativity, I seem to see a golden age coming. This is not only an era in which gold and matter can be truly created, but also an era in which arcane and magic are flourishing, changing rapidly, and talents are emerging."

"500,000 arcane points...that's not bad." Lucien admired. Arcane points are no longer useful to him, but arcane points can be exchanged for legendary magic and legendary rituals (one million arcane points One legendary magic point), this is an irreplaceable advantage for Jintale.

In the official content, the first half is the papers that have been published before, such as Jurisian's discovery and explanation of the phenomenon of spectral line splitting under strong magnetic field, etc., and the second half focuses on the doubts about the new alchemy that were not taken seriously before. , including the problem of outer electron arrangement proposed by Fernando, the problem of imposing quantized energy levels and orbits proposed by Hathaway, and the problem that only one electronic structure can be explained by Claus...Almost all elements and leaders in the field of alchemy The readers, after expressing their appreciation and support for the new alchemy, cautiously raised various questions.

Looking at the many problems, Lucien smiled and said to the aggrieved Splinter: "What's the use of being angry? The only thing you should do is to put forward your own ideas to solve these problems. I hope you all really start to learn how to solve these problems." The research of technology starts from answering these questions. It doesn’t matter if you make a mistake, but you don’t have the courage to join the discussion. Your thinking is active and unrestrained, and maybe you can provide ideas that we haven’t thought of to solve problems.”

"Yes, teacher!" Hearing the teacher's encouragement, Splinter was the first to answer, his unruly eyes full of fighting spirit.

Annick, Heidi, and the others also became excited, joining the discussions and disputes among the Grand Arcanists, Legendary Magicians, and High-ranking Arcanists about the new alchemy. It was exciting just thinking about it.

In the evening, Lucien appeared in the aristocratic area of ​​Rentat. After looking at the brightly lit villa of John's house, he took a deep breath and strode outside the door.
