Chapter 194 The Wonderful World
This time, the library gill Alex did not quickly give the name of the book or paper, but hesitated for a few seconds and then asked, "Mr. Evans, do you also need those data and speculations that have been proven wrong?"
"Of course, as an elemental magician, I want to have a clear and complete impression of the development of elemental magic after the concept of arcane was proposed. Whether it is proven wrong or affirmed, it has the value of research and excavation, at least to avoid making the same mistake, isn't it?" Lucian said his true thoughts.
The short old man next to him let out a lewd laugh again: "If you just want to have a complete impression of the development of elemental magic, then I recommend you "History of Elemental Magic", a book edited by the great arcanists, revised every ten years, the last time was four years ago, similar to "History of Necromancy", "History of Astral Magic"...... and "The Complete History of Arcane and Magic".
"I told you there were these books......" Lucian said helplessly.
And Alex next to him has already announced the title of the book:
"History of Elemental Magic," author, Supreme Council."
""New System of Elements", author, Arcanist Jalo Blue Hathaway Hoffenberg.
"Atomic-Molecule Theory", author, the great arcanist Oliver Constantine.
"A Review of Several Atomic Weight Determination Methods and the Latest Atomic Scales" and "The Octometer Table of Elements", by the great arcanist Fernando Barista."
""Doubling Relationship in Magic Potion Experiments" and "Spiral Law of Atomic Weight", author, ninth-level arcanist Ravendi.
"'Common Properties of Certain Metal Elements and Ideas for Improving Corresponding Magic'......, author, Level 7 Arcanist Gaston."
……
""Exploring the Laws of Elements from Common Characteristics and Guessing with Guesses" ......, author, Level 4 Arcanist Ulysses.
"Comparison of Properties and Atomic Weight Determination of Mithril and Silver" ......, author, Timothy, Level 4 Arcanist."
……
"Determination of the Properties of the New Element 'Mo'", author, Level 4 Arcanist Meredith."
…………
The titles of books or papers reported by Alex are not all the latest, but according to Lucian's requirements, from large to small, from the system, commonality to the single element, the determination of the properties of many elements in it was completed decades ago.
"Hehe, there is Mr. Ulysses and their paper." After Lucian heard the name of Ulysses' paper, his heart moved, and he smiled sideways at Lazar.
Lazar was not afraid this time, but was full of admiration and honor: "Yes, this is a paper written by Mr. Ulysses when he was a first-level arcanist, and although his discussion and prediction of the nature of the elements were overturned by the newly discovered elements later, it caused a sensation at the time. His unconstrained ideas and bold speculations are amazing, and he has led many arcanists to devote themselves to the exploration of elemental laws, even including the great arcanist His Excellency Ballista and the ninth-level arcanist Mr. Ravendi.
"Judging from the title of the book and the title of the paper, it seems that there is no conclusive thing with the law of elements." Lucian took the opportunity to ask what he was concerned about.
"Because they have all been overturned."
The speaker was a short old man in a bright red robe, his expression was rare serious, "Since spectral analysis was introduced into the discovery of new elements, the types of elements have increased by nearly ten, and their appearance has overturned all the previous arcanists' inferences and predictions about the laws of the elements. Young people, this is a serious topic to explore."
Lazar looked regretful: "Yes, even the great arcanist His Excellency Balista was inspired by the Octameter and speculated that the Octometer was overturned, and then he temporarily abandoned this research due to a new discovery that he joined the exploration of the field of electromagnetic waves. This officially announced the failure of the exploration of the laws of the elements, and now similar research has basically stopped."
"For failure, some arcanists think that there are not enough types of elements, just like the arithmetic with too many unknowns in mathematics cannot be solved. This view is more popular among high-level arcanists in the elemental realm, represented by the ninth-level arcanist, Mr. Ravendi. Some arcanists believe that there is no pattern between the elements at all, and that the common nature is just a coincidence, such as that they are all metals, which is not shared by senior arcanists, but is prevalent among intermediate and low-level arcanists."
"Oh, what is Mr. Julis's opinion?" Lucian asked curiously, what was the genius magician who first began to explore the laws between the elements think?
Lazar frowned and thought: "I heard that Mr. Ulysses was studying the newly discovered elements before, and it seems that he does not want to give up his exploration of the laws of the elements, but it seems that there is no progress, and there are signs of shifting the field of research."
"Persistence is the virtue of an arcanist." It was the short old man who interjected.
Because of his lewdness and repeated interruptions, Lucian couldn't help but look at his chest, wanting to see his arcane badge, magic badge and management nameplate clearly.
To Lucian's surprise, the old man had nothing on his chest, neither a management nameplate, nor an arcane badge or a magic badge.
"How about it, does this magic robe of mine look good? It combines the mysterious feel of an ancient magic robe, with bright reds and some modern clothing styles that I like." The old man straightened his chest and said triumphantly.
If he was a beautiful woman, Lucian would probably find it eye-catching, and then compliment him, but he is a half-old man with some wrinkles, gray hair and a lot of hair, even if he looks good, Lucian can only secretly scold in his heart: "Pervert!"
Then, Lucian pretended not to hear the short old man's words, and thought carefully: "Is it that the microscopic level of this world is very different, resulting in a special elemental structure and irregular properties, or is it because there are few types of elements that they haven't discovered yet? Well, I have to do all the magic experiments to determine the elements first, so that I can have an intuitive understanding."
After that, Lucian borrowed basic books such as "The Complete History of Arcane and Magic", "History of Elemental Magic", "New System of Elements", "Atomic-Molecular Theory" and other basic books, "Summary of Several Atomic Weight Determination Methods and the Latest Atomic Scale", "Octometer of Elements", "Determination of the Properties of the New Element 'Mo'", etc., a total of thirty-two papers, filling the storage bag to the brim.
"Lucian, can you read so many books in seven days?" Lazar and Lucian walked out of the library, puzzled by his interpretation of thirty-eight books at once.
Lucian smiled and said, "In a few days, I will go to Douglas School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and I will probably focus on teaching apprentices and making up for my arcane foundation for a long time, and will not come to the council headquarters, so I am going to record them with a record magic circle so as not to run back and forth. By the way, Lazar, did you notice that the Mr. Magician just now was not wearing a badge or nameplate?"
Douglas School of Magic and Magic is located on the southeast edge of the Sky City, covering a large area and being remote and quiet, but it is far away from the Magic Tower of the Council Headquarters, and it takes about half an hour by carriage.
"It seems that Lucian, you plan to apply for the arcane basic assessment directly when you return to the headquarters magic tower, you can really calm your mind." Lazar was quite impressed, and then replied with a more serious expression, "I noticed, so I pulled you at that time and asked you not to talk nonsense. The old gentleman may be a member of a committee, and only a gentleman of their level can run around the Magic Tower without a badge and command alchemical life without a nameplate. Hehe, many of them have slightly eccentric personalities, and it's normal for them to suddenly come to be an administrator for a day."
Lucian scolded: "Slightly weird? It's a little perverted!"
Seeing that Lucian didn't speak, Lazar thought he was worried about the cost of borrowing books, so he smiled and said: "Actually, Lucian, you don't need to worry about the cost of the library, magicians will exchange books with each other in private, as long as you can join their circle. If you record books that they don't need, you have to pay a certain amount of money, cheaper than a library, but not for free, knowledge is valuable."
"I happened to meet two friends at Douglas School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and I introduced you to them."
Lucian was very interested in Lazar's proposal, but he was a little confused: "The council doesn't care?"
"In fact, the library is so expensive, which itself encourages magicians to communicate privately, otherwise how can it spark wisdom?" Lazar said humorously, "Okay, let me tell you about those two magician friends, they are both first-level arcanists, one is the second-ring mage Jerome who is good at astrology and elements, and the other is the second-ring elemental mage Roque."
"Roque is a guy with a quirky personality and thinking, and he recently wanted to apply for a funny magic research project. Hehe, you'll know what it is when you see him."
"Jerome is an introverted guy who likes to study and is not good at words, when he pursued the beautiful Miss Vera a few years ago, he couldn't find a topic on a date, so he talked about profound issues such as astrology, fate, star trajectory, elemental reaction and so on." Lazar introduced his two good friends one by one.
Lucian couldn't help but think of the bleak fate of the good children who had this situation in his previous life, so he asked slightly pitifully: "Then, is there no later?"
"Uh, how could it be, they are married and very affectionate." Lazar didn't understand why Lucian came to this conclusion.
"What?!" Lucian was very surprised.
Lazar probably guessed his thoughts from Lucian's reaction, and smiled: "Lucian, you are from across the sea, and you probably don't know how mysterious and fascinating magic, astrology, elements, destiny and reactions are in the eyes of boys and girls other than magicians in Holm and other countries."
"And studying these issues directly represents strength, wealth, and status."
Lazar looked proud.
Lucian sighed casually: "This is really a beautiful world."
After a pause, Lucian continued: "Lazar, accompany me to exchange some elements that are not available in the magic school laboratory. I want to follow the steps of those papers step by step."
"Okay." Lazar didn't pay much attention to the authenticity, and then seemed to remember something, "By the way, Lucian, the Lucian Evans with the same name and surname as you also teaches at Douglas School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. He added a K letter to his name."
