Throne of Magical Arcana

When Downey returned to school, it was still a long time before the evening class, so he staggered into his dormitory, intending to think quietly about the problem just now.

"Why did you come back?" Sammy was holding a fried chicken, sitting on the bed, looking at the home TV mounted on the wall, and chuckling at the funny programs on it from time to time, he was rarely energetic, and behind him The other ghost lay lazily on top of him, unwilling to move.

Downey replied casually: "Didn't I tell you? I'm going to the Triumph Plaza to get the 'Sober Necklace'."

Sami scratched his messy hair, and said indifferently: "The sun is too strong at noon, and I am in a state where I desperately want to sleep. How can I remember what you said..."

Speaking of this, the handsome young man turned his head, looked at Downey and said, "Wait, you said 'Awakening Necklace'? Have you saved enough money to buy a 'Aberrant Necklace'?"

He just noticed the point.

Downey smiled self-deprecatingly: "How could it be possible to save enough? Our apprenticeship and trainee arcanist subsidies are only a little bit, and the junior magic school does not have as many scholarships as the Academy. This time I met a The kind bookstore owner..."

He briefly talked about the matter.

Sammy nodded slightly, and had no doubts about Downey's experience. Except for arcane arts and magic, he rarely thought deeply about other things. I don't know if it was due to limited energy or his own personality.

After listening to Downey's words, Sammy turned his head and continued to watch TV. At this time, the funny show was over, and the advertisement entered. A beautiful girl was showing off her simple and beautiful dress——due to the increase of alchemy workshops , changes in the living environment and social structure, represented by the alchemy center Rentat, the trend of clothing has undergone great changes, and it is developing towards two trends, one is simpler and more convenient for daily activities, and the other is more complicated. There are even more exotic banquet outfits.

But Donnie was not surprised by Sammy's state, sometimes stood up, sometimes sat, sometimes lay down and thought about choosing a magic school.

After a long time, Downey still couldn't make up his mind, so he coughed lightly: "Sami, there is something I want to ask you."

Sammy turned his head again, his expression was a little tired: "What's the matter?"

"I'm thinking about choosing a magic academy." Downey whispered.

Sammy frowned suspiciously: "Didn't you plan to go to Holt a long time ago? Don't you want to study the most wonderful and profound microcosm?"

"I... don't think about it anymore. In the microscopic field, almost half of the formulas and equations are prefixed with Evans or Lucien, and they are all very complicated. When I see them, I can't help resisting and hating..." Downey explained his thoughts frankly, and finally said, "I want to study a relatively simple field without so many formulas and equations. I, I don't want to have a nightmare called 'Lucien Evans' all the time...you Any suggestions?"

Sammy tilted his head, took a bite of the fried chicken, and did not express any opinion on Downey's idea of ​​escaping. He said directly: "The current microscopic field includes elements, electromagnetism, alchemy, light and darkness, and part of the force field. Your Excellency Evans The 'Main Battlefield' is a system he established, if you don't want to study it, you can only go to the macroscopic astrology..."

When he mentioned the word "horoscope", he turned his gaze to the bookshelf in the corner of the dormitory, where there were books borrowed from the library that had not been returned, including the textbooks they had accumulated in the past five years.

"A Brief Theory of Special and General Relativity", "Evans' Analysis of Destiny Starry Sky", "The Relationship between Divination and Evans' Essence Model", "Lucien Astrology"... The names of these books jumped into Sami's eyes, He let out a hush: "...the astrology system is not good either, it is also the 'territory' of Lord Evans, although the 'situation' is not as serious as the microscopic field, but I heard that the Evans field equation alone makes many astrologers Going crazy with a headache."

"Yeah, the Frozen Heat faction is similar..." Downey rubbed his forehead in distress, "At present, the only ones that are less affected by Mr. Evans are necromancy, illusion, transformation and summoning, and I don't like summoning very much. It seems that only You can choose from the three major factions of Necromancer, Illusion, and Transformation."

Sammy's eyes lit up, and he stopped the fried chicken that was being sent to his mouth: "Aren't you good at psychological analysis in the field of illusion? Report it to the 'Wizard's Tower'."

"Psychological analysis..." Downey's expression was joyful at first, and then he looked at the bookshelf as if remembering something.

The Interpretation of Dreams, by Lannister Stannis, Lucian Evans...

Behavioral Psychology, by Lucian Evans, Elle Caravini, Isabella...  

"Sixteen Correspondence Methods of Personality Defects, Psychological Shadows, and Real Illusions" by Lucien Evans...

"The Application of Lucien's Personality Analysis in Illusion"...

...

Downey suddenly looked back, patted the bed with his right hand, and lowered his head in frustration: "It's not good, although there are not so many formulas and equations, but it is still full of 'Lucien' and 'Evans', this field Many of the definitions of the term were completed by His Excellency Evans..."

Why does almost every field have his strong traces?

Although this is much better than the micro and macro fields, Lucien's achievements are only a small part of the more basic things, but for Downey who subconsciously wants to escape, it is still shocking and he can't bear to look directly at it.

The ghost behind Sami became active, constantly absorbing the surrounding trinkets for fun, while Sami became listless and said weakly: "Then only the Necromancer and the Transformation are left. These two factions have almost no His Excellency Evans’ achievements, except for the theory of the essence of the soul without details, the basic theory of deformation, and the experiment on the origin of life that is more biased towards the elemental system.”

"Regardless of which field the Necromancer and Transfiguration factions belong to, a detailed understanding of the body structure of different creatures is required. Therefore, apply for the Heidler Academy. The anatomy and magical biological structure here are the strongest in the entire council. Occasionally, Mr. Felipe and others will come to give lectures or give guidance in person, and we can continue to be classmates again.”

His spirit became very poor, but when he said this, his eyes were burning hot. Because of the relationship with the spirit behind him, he was feared and hated by others since he was a child. In the dormitory where there were originally four people, only Downey was left. I don't know if this guy is tough or blunt, so he cherishes this rare friend very much.

"Undead...deformation...anatomy...biological structure..." Downey repeated these words, his eyes suddenly lit up: "Although we roughly understand the reality of magic and the world, we actually don't know much about it." Many, even their own body structure and genetic factors have not yet been clarified, and there has been no breakthrough in the study of chromosomes, this is a field full of hope and passion!"

He became a little agitated.

Sami smiled sleepily: "Then apply for the Heidler Academy. There are dozens of pioneers and authorities in the field of anatomy and genetics, including Mr. Felipe, who pay attention and occasionally guide them."

He paused and said: "Moreover, since Mr. Felipe won the Evans Arcane Award and the Immortal Throne Award for his discovery of chromosomes more than ten years ago, there have been no breakthroughs in this field. Accumulated, Your Excellency and Mister have won the Evans Magic Award and the Medical Award respectively, so the popularity has decreased year by year, and there are not so many people applying for the exam, and the competition is relatively less fierce."

Downey nodded as he listened, becoming more and more excited and excited, as if he had found the path he would fight for his whole life.

He stood up, paced back and forth, and occasionally clenched his fists and waved them slightly. His expression was sometimes joyful, sometimes longing, sometimes ferocious, and sometimes distorted. After a while, he took a deep breath, and his voice was slightly trembling but firmly said: "Sami , I decided to apply for the Heidler Academy, and apply for the field of necromancy body structure and genetic factors!"

After saying this, he felt that he had no more hesitation and hesitation. The haze in front of his eyes dissipated, and his eyes turned to Sammy, only to find that he was leaning against the head of the bed with his eyes closed, and he was hugging the fried chicken. Falling into a deep sleep, the ghost behind him waved its arms, seemingly rejoicing at Donnie's decision.

…………

A week later, the teacher Slinton sent out a form with the power of the magic contract, and looked at the students seriously: "Please fill in the college and general field you want to apply for carefully, so that you can be arranged for additional exam content, pay attention, Be sure to think clearly before filling it out! You can ask for a new one if you make a wrong word, but after you fill it out, the contract will be established, and there is no chance to go back on your word, unless you voluntarily downgrade and wait until next year to take the unified entrance exam.”

Donnie, who had already thought it through, took the form calmly, and subconsciously looked at the students around him. He saw the beautiful elf with two pointed ears, the tall and strong werewolf with thick hair, the lizard man with scales all over his body, and others. Normal humans were lost in thought, struggling a little, as if they hadn't made their final decision yet.

He smiled, picked up a special quill, dipped it in magic ink, and calmly wrote down the college and direction he applied for.

Slington saw Downey, a good apprentice, writing quickly and quickly completed the form. He was suddenly curious, and went to him to pick up the form and watch it.

"Heidler College, Necromancy, the field of body structure and genetic factors..." Slinton stroked his white beard, and said in a little doubt, "Donnie, do you know something? Didn't you like the microscopic field more before? What? Suddenly switched to the necromancy system?"

"What do you know..." Downey shook his head blankly.

Slington laughed: "In the past six months, in Allinger, there has been a manuscript that has sparked extensive and heated discussions, which has given many arcanists in the microscopic field a very strong understanding of the genetic field of the necromancy system. interest and changed the direction of my own research, I thought it would take at least a year for this trend to spread to magic schools and ordinary people."

With the development of society and the increase of radio stations, TV stations, and newspapers, entertainment-oriented programs and content have completely gained the upper hand, and things that popularize arcane knowledge and current research trends are gradually becoming less and less. Even if there are, they are exploration and adventure. For most ordinary people, after passing through the initial period of freshness, those advanced arcane knowledge do not need to be understood at all, let's wait until they are transformed into corresponding alchemy products.

The nobles and some magicians are very satisfied with this situation, and even secretly contribute to the flames. After all, it is a good thing to be able to reduce competitors, especially when interstellar travel is still limited to legends for the time being.

"Mr. Slington, what manuscript?" Downey was still in a daze.

Slington stroked his white beard and said with a chuckle: "A manuscript that analyzes the body and genetics from the authoritative perspective of the microcosmic field. Treat them, and then use various theories in the microscopic field to analyze, and put forward many bold and genius conjectures, such as the explanation of the quantum theory of inheritance, the genetic code, etc. think deeply."

Authority, authority in the microcosmic domain... Donny suddenly felt that the magic crystal lamp became dim, and a huge shadow rose from behind. He asked nervously, "Teacher, what is the name of this manuscript? Who wrote it?"

"This manuscript is called "What is Life?" Slington smiled. "The author, of course, is Lord Evans."

Boom, Downey's head buzzed, as if he had been hit with a giant hammer.

Why, why does it even have His "devil's claws" here?
