Since the "Crown of the Sun" had only unlocked a layer of seal, the aura of the necromancer that could be sensed by it must be strong enough and the distance must be very close. This means that Lucian hides a terrifying undead creature beside him, the kind of powerful undead who can take out low-level magicians with a single blow!
But in Lucian's mental senses, there was nothing strange about the entire study, and no matter how you looked at it from any angle, he was the only one.
The winter afternoon sun was warm and shining warmly on Lucian, but Lucian did not feel warm, but a biting chill rose, creepy.
Suppressing his fear and dread, Lucian calmly picked up a card and "carefully read" the elemental nature of the summary above.
The scorching heat of the Crown of the Sun became more and more intense, Lucian looked at the cards in his hand, and an inexplicable picture suddenly appeared in his heart: right next to his cheek, just parallel to his head, there was a transparent and clear pale head, with wide eyes flashing with strange red light, reading the elemental cards seriously with himself, while in the mirror opposite there was only his own focused figure.
"Was it sent by the Pale Hand to spy on me?"
"They don't seem to have connected me with the professor yet, otherwise it would be more than just monitoring......"
In his thoughts, Lucian looked at the elemental cards one by one, like all diligent and studious beginners, tirelessly memorizing, understanding and mastering the various properties of different elements, without showing the slightest abnormality, but thinking to himself: "I must write an arcane research paper as soon as possible......"
The afternoon passed quickly, Lucian put down the cards and walked out of the study, the scorching heat of the "Crown of the Sun" had turned into a seemingly non-existent warmth, which showed that the powerful undead had moved away from him a little, but did not really leave.
"It's really just surveillance." Lucian relaxed a little, as long as he didn't show any abnormalities and lived normally according to the pattern of the past week, there was nothing worthy of suspicion from others, but this did not make Lucian completely relaxed, no one knew how long the patience of the pale hand could last, whether to leave or use other means after not discovering the abnormality.
…………
After dinner, Lucian came to the Magic Experiment Tower as usual.
As soon as I stepped into the tower, the warmth of the "Crown of the Sun" completely disappeared and returned to normal.
"It seems that this magic tower is equipped with a strong protective magic circle, so that the undead who are monitoring me do not dare to enter." Lucian was half-surprised to find out that if he was monitored anytime and anywhere, it would be devastating.
At this time, K walked in, and after seeing Lucian, he said with a slight joy: "Lucian, I thought you weren't in the mood to do magic experiments today. You are more resilient than I imagined."
"I'm not a person who gives up on himself when he gets hit." Lucian smiled, and then walked side by side with K, "By the way, K, what is your paper published in the journal Elemental? I was hit today, and I fell into the joy of the paper being quoted by His Excellency the Great Arcanist, and I forgot to read the "Elemental" journal."
K scratched his head a little embarrassed: "It's about the discussion about the fact that elements always combine with a fixed number of other molecules in magic potions and alchemical reactions, which is what Mr. Larry said about atomic valence."
"This is a fundamental issue of elemental magic, no wonder you are valued by Mr. Larry. I'm going to find it and read it, it's just right for my recent magical experiment to master the nature of the elements." Lucian smiled and praised.
K became more and more embarrassed, laughed and said nothing.
At this time, several people on the third floor of the Magic Tower passed through the staircase and happened to see Lucian and K.
"Mr. K, Mr. Evans, good evening." The speaker was an ordinary young man with black hair and black eyes, and his silent and honest face showed a smiling expression.
K said angrily: "Good evening, Beat."
After responding politely, he didn't look at Beat and his companions, and continued to walk towards the stairs leading to the fourth floor.
Lucian nodded politely and coldly, and followed K to the top of the steps without saying anything.
"It seems that Mr. Evans, you haven't really reflected on your mistakes." Seeing Lucian's performance, Beatrice laughed and said, "He still hates us."
K turned around suddenly, his thick voice filled with anger: "Beat, I know Lucian's teaching style does violate school rules, but why don't you advise him a few words first? If he is unwilling to correct it, it is not too late to complain. Are you just so careful?"
"Yo, recognized honest and good people also have times when they are angry." Benoit, who is good at electromagnetism and astrology, exaggerated, and then his slender face became serious, "This is a serious violation of school rules and long-standing traditions. Only by punishing Mr. Evans can he learn a lesson and remember it firmly."
Just as Lucian was about to speak, Beatrice was already looking at K with a smile: "Violating school rules is not a big deal, the development of electromagnetic waves is the most important thing now. K, if you still insist that the psychic particle says that atoms are the foundation of the world and cannot change arcane concepts, I am very worried that one day when you meditate, your head will explode violently. Ha, we are going to understand the application of electromagnetic waves according to the magic experiment of the Storm Lord, so I won't disturb you to continue researching the elements~"
The ending was prolonged, and he was so high-spirited as he was usually taciturn, and several of his companions were similar.
Lucian watched them turn around and walk away with a little anger, and at the same time said in confusion: "K, why does your head explode suddenly when you meditate?"
As a guy who still lacks a lot of magical common sense, Lucian can only ask K beside him.
K was not very angry at Beat's sarcasm, and a thick voice echoed in the stairwell: "This comes from Your Excellency the Speaker's discussion of meditation. Because it has no exact theoretical basis, it is not included in the basic arcane books, so you don't know for the time being. He believes that the meditation environment is the embodiment of one's own understanding of the essence of the world, and what kind of concept and knowledge there is, there is what kind of meditation environment there is."
Lucian nodded secretly, without interjecting, it seemed that he was not the only one who felt this way, and Mr. Douglas, who had laid the foundation of arcane, thought so too.
"In addition to the dozen or so meditation methods that are universally applicable, different meditation environments correspond to different meditation methods. If the meditation environment conflicts with the meditation method, or if the meditation environment is unstable, there will be a risk of mental power explosion, which may damage the soul and brain structure, or directly blow up the head."
"Therefore, when a subversive theory appears, if the magician cannot accept it, master it, or adjust his cognition according to it, then the meditation environment will not change. If a magician or a wise creature has established a concept of the world and magic, it is difficult to be changed by external forces, so magicians who cannot accept subversive new theories often account for the majority. For example, in this "Arcane" journal, His Excellency the Speaker once again wrote an article using those magic experiments to deny the claim that spiritual power is electromagnetic waves."
"But if the correctness of this theory is unquestionable, even if the unacceptable magicians themselves cannot deny it, their concepts of the world and magic will completely collapse, their cognition will fall into extreme chaos and contradictions, and the meditation environment will become very unstable. Only some excellent magicians can rebuild their cognitive world and step on the right path."
"In addition, the blow to faith cannot be ignored, and it will also affect the efficiency of meditation."
No wonder Felipe was so excited when he faced synthetic urea at the feast of death, he thought he was proud and arrogant, and it was difficult to give up the theory of human life mechanics for a while, but now he realized how dangerous it was at that time! Fortunately, urea is not decisive, whether it is in this world or on the earth, it has not been able to completely deny the theory of human life forces, coupled with the shock of the reputation of the church's purification sequence, he narrowly escaped.
"According to rumors, Felipe's concentration on research should be one of the foundations of the necromancer faction that tends to overturn the theory of human life mechanics, and it is worthy that one of the most outstanding magicians of this generation can accept this concept so quickly. It's just that he seems to want to come up with a decisive result before the 'professor' - overthrown by the enemy or by his own people, which will be the difference between heaven and hell in the subsequent guidance of the Pale Hand magician's cognition."
Lucian guessed based on what he knew, "That pale hand probably attaches great importance to the professor, no wonder he sent such a powerful undead to spy on me."
Not noticing Lucian's strangeness, K continued: "However, all subversive theories are full of controversy and cannot completely destroy the cognitive world of magicians, and the rest of the pioneering magic research is a supplement to the current arcane system, so this aspect is not obvious."
"However, in the past few major debates, such as when electromagnetic induction was confirmed, such as when gravity was confirmed, many advanced and intermediate magicians could not accept that their inherent ideas were destroyed and died, so there were many magicians who failed to reach this level. It is said that some time ago, after light was proven to be electromagnetic waves, several priests in the Kingdom of Holm were swallowed by the holy light in their bodies while praying. These things indirectly prove that Your Excellency is correct about meditation."
"Of course, there are also many powerful magicians who can accept and study and master new knowledge and grow up."
"Every great development of arcane and magic is accompanied by such tragicomedy, accompanied by magnificent and tragic debates."
Lucian nodded subconsciously, his expression was solemn, and in a world where he could construct a meditation environment from cognitive concepts, such a situation was normal. The reason why he was able to easily change the meditation environment was probably because the changed meditation environment was his fundamental cognition, but he needed to verify its correctness first.
"So after the ancient lineage magicians came to the council, the council emphasized the most on changing their concepts, accepting arcane, and allowing two people to inspire growth at the same time through the task of teaching apprentices. But even so, there are still the majority of ancient heritage magicians who have not been able to change their cognition and thus stagnate, and there are only a few like Lucian who can quickly accept arcane and verify it with their own hands." K praised Lucian, "This is inseparable from your innate arcanist thinking."
…………
For the next month, Lucian lived in an orderly manner under the supervision of the Revenant, completing the verification of the nature of the elements, but no longer arranging the elemental cards in the study, but in the magic laboratory and soul library.
Lucian then began writing a thesis titled:
"On the periodic relationship between elemental properties and atomic weights and predictions of some new elements".
