Chapter 198 Second Ring
As the gates opened, a warm yellow glow slowly emerged, illuminating the entire magic laboratory.
Although it is not as mysterious, grand and complex as the magic laboratory left by "Prophet" Maskilin in the maze of the "Grand Cross Shelf", it is many times better than the apprentice-level laboratory that Lucian had previously arranged.
K pointed to one of the alchemy platforms: "Lucian, hehe, I feel like I'm calling myself, you use it to refine magic potions, I'm going to start a magic experiment."
"Okay." Lucian didn't ask too much, hastily inquiring about other people's experiments was one of the biggest prohibitions in the Magic Council.
Often, magicians with poor character quietly inquire about the direction and content of other people's experiments, and then design similar magic experiments, write and publish papers first, and obtain arcane points, arcane points, and status honors.
This method is easy to confuse with the situation where you are conducting arcane research in one direction at the same time but get the results first, and the evidence is difficult to define unless you directly use magic such as scouting thoughts. Without sufficient evidence, they can completely refuse to accept magic such as investigative thoughts, and it is easy to find excuses, such as secrets related to a major magic and magic relics.
What's more, some magicians who have stolen other people's arcane research results are narrow-minded and worried that the original magicians will retaliate against them when they grow up, so they try their best to trample them under their feet, or send them to a mission that doesn't seem too dangerous to "disappear" through relationships.
Lazar had told Lucian about these things when introducing the common sense of the Magic Council.
The "Hard Stone" magic potion only assists in the stability of mental power, and the requirements are not high, Lucian is also an experienced person who has refined many potions, and after three failures, he successfully refined a tube of brown and cloudy magic potions.
Seeing that it was still early, Lucian took out a tube of purified elemental materials and prepared to determine various properties by himself according to those papers.
At this time, K, who was facing away from Lucian, suddenly said: "Lucian, do you have any other magic experiments besides refining magic potions?"
"I, I don't want to inquire about your content, but if you do have an experiment that you have to do, I can tell you how to open the 'secret lock' of this magic laboratory, and you can use this magic laboratory even if I can't come in the future."
His voice was low and wide, echoing in the magic laboratory, giving people a sense of security.
"Thank you, K. I was new to elemental basics and wanted to experiment with the properties of each element myself. You know, I only have one link of magic level, and many properties cannot be determined by my own magic, so I can only rely on the magic circle and alchemy circle in the laboratory." Lucian was not hypocritical, and while turning around, he answered frankly, which was also the foundation for his future arcane research results, at least many people proved that they had spent a lot of effort to verify the nature of the elements.
And I really need this kind of experiment to eliminate errors and judge whether there are any patterns in the various elements of this world, and if so, it will mean a lot.
However, after Lucian turned around, he saw that K was still experimenting, so he turned around to show that he did not spy on its contents.
"Then I'll tell you how to open the secret lock." K's experiment seems to have entered the stage of waiting for a certain result, so he can divide his spirit to talk, and he is also worried about misunderstanding the contents of Lucian's magic potion preparation, so he did not turn around, "However, I may leave Douglas School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in a few months, and I will not be able to let Lucian continue to use this laboratory."
While turning on the alchemy circle to turn a small amount of purified elements into steam, and measuring the alchemy array to determine its gas density, Lucian said curiously: "K, are you leaving? Why?"
"Hehe, when one of my previous papers passed the review, it was valued by a disciple of a committee member. He is Mr. Larry of our Elemental Will, and he told me that if I can become an intermediate magician, then he is willing to let me study and research with him, and I feel that I am getting closer and closer to the third ring recently, so I want to get an item by completing a task to help me advance." K explained slowly without showing off, but his oral expression skills were lacking.
Larry is the most promising person of the generation of Elemental Will to become a high-level magician, a student of the seven-ring magician Gaston, and he is already a fifth-level arcanist and a five-ring magician, stronger than Ulysses, Timothy and others. In other organizations, there were only six or seven people who could compare with him, such as Felipe, who was younger than him but was close to a level five arcanist.
Lucian nodded lightly with his back to K: "That's really congratulations. Hehe, what is your paper? I want to find it and take a look."
"It hasn't been published yet, so we'll have to wait for next week's Elemental issue. At that time, the school will have free viewing." K was a little embarrassed by Lucian's inquiry, and did not directly say the name of the paper, "I hope Lucian can complete the basic experiment as soon as possible, otherwise after I leave, you will have to compete with other teachers to seize the speed of the laboratory."
Lucian laughed and said: "It's actually an "Elemental" journal, no one in the school knows, K, it's good to keep it a secret. Well, I'll hurry up and finish the experiment. K, you are such a good person who loves to help others."
"Nothing. I just hope that everyone will try their best to help others when they are capable enough and do not delay their own affairs." K replied with a smile.
The two of them turned their backs to each other and occasionally chatted, but they were more focused on their own experiments.
…………
It was already early in the morning when Lucian returned to the garden villa, and Roque had already fallen asleep.
In the faint fragrance of flowers, the pleasant tranquility made Lucian's mental state quickly adjust to the best, then opened the glass tube and drank the brown and cloudy "hard stone" potion in one gulp.
Countless irritating tastes such as sour, astringent, and spicy were rolling in Lucian's mouth and throat, making him almost vomit, but a strange ice cooling enveloped Lucian's mental power, making it more and more stable.
After softening the taste and closing his eyes, Lucian quickly entered meditation, still shining with the starry sky, and the gravity of the star of destiny and the three basic forces of fire, wind, and water around formed a complete meditation environment.
Consciousness seemed to be separated from the soul, calmly commanding beside it, the spiritual power vibrated, bringing about a qualitative change in the soul, and bright starlight lines emerged, forming a rather complex three-dimensional spell model.
Since complex problems such as curves are not involved, Lucian constructs the spell model with ease, and after more than a month of learning and making up for the meaning of the structural graphics in the existing arcane foundation, some of the previous problems were solved very easily.
As the last line closed, the complex spell model took shape, blooming with a dazzling illusory light that dragged Lucian's bystander consciousness back into the soul, enveloping the entire soul.
But at this moment, Lucian's consciousness sensed subtle changes in the starry sky and fire feng shui meditation environment outside!
A little bit of different color light particles emerged leisurely, and there seemed to be a deep mystery between them, showing indescribable complex structural figures, which seemed to represent a magic that Lucian had never seen before!
But its structure was so vague and chaotic that when Lucian wanted to see clearly, his consciousness was already overwhelmed by the soul and spiritual power enhancement changes brought about by the first second-ring magic "Mirror Shadow Technique".
Waves of wind and waves surged like the first movement of Lucian's Symphony of Destiny, continuous, Lucian was like a sailboat thrown up by the wind and waves on the sea, and could only stay awake and not pass out.
Fortunately, Lucian has endured many blows and dangers, his spirit and will have been tempered to be quite tenacious, and he has a never-say-die stubbornness in his heart, and finally survived until the illusory light disappeared.
A transparent and beautiful crystal was born in Lucian's soul, and the changes in spiritual power and soul reached the extreme without weakening.
"Finally, the Second Ring Magician." Lucian said as a figure that was exactly like himself appeared on his body, making it difficult to distinguish.
"Mirror Shadow Technique", the two-ring illusion, before being cracked by the prophecy and reconnaissance spells of the astrological system, such as "True Knowledge", can help the main body resist the attack, if the attack cannot break the mirror image, then it cannot damage the main body.
After feeling the magic of the second ring, Lucian released the "Mirror Shadow Technique" and entered meditation again, but the little light particles of different colors that he had seen before disappeared, still the original environment, as if there was an illusion just now.
But Lucian was very sure that he had indeed seen it, so based on his previous experience, he boldly speculated: "After I regarded earth, fire and feng shui as the four basic forces, the meditation environment changed, which means that the meditation environment is similar to the embodiment of my consciousness, and the more I know, the more specific it is.
"I've been arranging elements lately...... Although some of the elements are not like the ones I know, I can still feel the taste of the cycle in their properties, and with a little more time to redefine them, I can confidently arrange a periodic table and predict elements that have not yet appeared. So as I progressed, the meditation environment changed as a result?"
"Does this mean that when I fully verify the periods, they will actually appear in my meditation environment after the next advancement? And their arrangement patterns seem to represent a magical vague direction? As long as I have enough knowledge of magic structure, I have a certain hope of creating a new magic. But what kind of magic could it be? "Elemental period"? "Elemental control"? I can't think of what the elemental cycle will do......"
"But why is this happening?"
While speculating, many questions emerged, and Lucian was limited by his lack of knowledge, so he could only stop exploring for the time being.
…………
"Heidler" City, the Magic Tower of the "Pale Hand" headquarters, in a dark study.
Felipe stretched out his hands inserted in the black trench coat, and saluted with his right hand on his forehead: "Good afternoon, Director Rogerio. What are you looking for me for?"
He was very respectful, because Rogerio in front of him was not only a high-ranking member of the Pale Hand, but also a member of the "Affairs Committee" of the Magic Council, directly under the leadership of several Excellents of the Supreme Council - they served as the chairman and vice president of the committee.
Rogerio, who has short brown hair and no beard, is still wearing a black formal suit and a white wide-cuffed shirt, still the same as when he was when he was Aalto, deep and restrained, but with three more badges on his chest, namely the seventh-level arcanist, the eight-ring necromancer, and the black flame emblem representing the mystery of the Affairs Committee.
He was not as gloomy as other necromancers, his sunken dark blue eyes looked at Felipe, and he smiled slightly: "Felipe, how is your experiment going?"
"There is some progress, but it will take time to break through the inherent thinking." Felipe sat down opposite Rogerio.
Rogerio nodded slightly: "Not bad. I have a message about the 'professor'."
