The tweet will start to be closed tomorrow afternoon, so there will be an outbreak tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.

"Magician Management Department".
Eric looked Lucian up and down, his pale gray pupils reflected a handsome and restrained figure, and he said in a tone as if he was stepping on a cloud: "All the assessment items of your arcane foundation are excellent...... If I don't know you, I would definitely think that this was done by an intermediate arcanist with at least ten years of arcane education, especially the inference of the mathematical foundation, which proves that the logic is very rigorous. You really only learned the basics of arcane and magic for three months?"
"Yes." Lucian had no doubts about his ability to pass the arcane assessment, he smiled at the corner of his mouth and nodded slightly.
Eric rubbed his cheek with his right hand: "In the assessment room of the Magician Management Department, you can't cheat at all unless you have the help of legendary magic items, and there is supervision by me and Ms. Lucy at the same time. So I announce that Evans, your Arcane Foundation assessment results are true and credible. After submitting it to Your Excellency the Minister for signature, you will receive a basic arcane point. Please wait a moment."
The four ministers of the Magician Management Department take turns on duty, and the minister is a member of the affairs committee.
Seeing Eric submit the assessment results to the minister through the teleportation array in the tower, Lucian said slightly expectantly: "Mr. Eric, I don't know when the review results of my arcane paper will come out?"
Even though Lucian was better at keeping his composure than many of his peers, and even most magicians, he was still a little uneasy at this time.
The periodic table has an undoubted position in the history of geochemistry and also occupies an important position in the entire course of scientific development, symbolizing the end of mankind's exploration of the scattered elements of nature. And what lies beneath its periodic appearance is another unimaginable field, and in-depth research in this field has completely shattered the understanding of the past of geophysics, and may also subvert most of the current theories of the Magic Council.
Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to compare the periodic table to the cornerstone and throne of the elemental field, but even such an important research result was ridiculed by many people after Mendeleev proposed it, and even his teacher thought it was meaningless and a waste of life, and even at the beginning of the twentieth century, when its importance was generally recognized, he failed to win the Nobel Prize in Chemistry because of a difference of one vote.
Thinking of this, Lucian was inevitably a little nervous, such a pure summary paper without a theoretical derivation basis needed verification by later generations.
Although I boldly predicted and guessed some of the atomic weights and new elements that needed to be corrected, this is a different world, where the new elements are hidden is still unknown, I don't know when they will be discovered, and some of the atomic weight corrections involve the separation of strange isotopes, which cannot be verified for the time being.
All of this takes time, Lucian doesn't want a high-ranking magician to say in a sad tone at a certain "Holm Crown Award" award ceremony: "Let us mourn Mr. Lucian Evans, whose periodic table he summarized shocked the entire magical world, but unfortunately was killed, and the research results were not recognized until his death."
If you want to get a good response as soon as possible, you need this paper to be published in a sufficiently influential journal and seen by more arcanists.
When Eric heard Lucian's question, he replied seriously: "The shortest time to review the paper is three days, and sometimes the committee members are busy, maybe a week or a month. Evans, the last time you got a timely review was because you submitted a new magic at the same time, and it is not normal for a gentleman to find a paper and read it carefully. Don't worry, every paper is archived within the Arcane Review Committee, and it is reviewed separately by two gentlemen, so no one will steal your results."
"Three days, okay." Lucian didn't say much, he hadn't shown any danger of flaws in a short period of time. In Alinge, important buildings such as experimental towers are relatively strong, and if you want to not alarm others to infiltrate, you need at least the strength of an archmage.
If it weren't for his too many secrets, Lucian was ready to come up with a plan to directly borrow the power of the Magic Council to get rid of the undead and find out the person behind it, he would definitely not have imagined that he had a magic item close to the legendary level!
After waiting for a while, the minister's signed documents were sent back, and Eric threw Lucian's arcane badge and magic badge into the iron cage and rang the bell to renew.
"Evans, you have obtained basic arcane points, and at the same time, in the latest issue of the journal, a total of eight arcane papers cite your bat experiment paper and new magic principles, plus the quote of the storm lord, you get a total of nine citation arcane points. Your current total arcane points are seventeen, congratulations on your promotion to a first-level arcanist." Eric first took out the arcane badge and looked at it, then stretched out his right hand to shake Lucian to express his congratulations.
The arcane badge has turned into a silver star on a black background, deep and beautiful.
Then Eric took out the magic badge and handed it to Lucian: "Due to the quote of the Storm Lord, a large number of arcanists are very interested in your apprentice-level new magic, and the exchange price of one arcane point is relatively cheap, so you have obtained a total of 769 arcane points, which is really an enviable start." As for the information that the magic level has advanced to the second ring, Lucian is ready to update it after this incident is over.
Watching Eric's mouth move, Lucian took a deep breath and was shocked by this number, which meant that nearly one-tenth of the magicians in Alinge had exchanged their own bat scream magic, which was an astonishing ratio!
The influence of the Great Arcanist is indeed unparalleled, while "hanging on the city wall to show the public", it also brings huge benefits to himself, even if he is a magic teacher with peace of mind, he does not eat, drink, or do anything, it will take him at least six or seven years to save enough arcane points.
As a not serious money fan, Lucian was uncontrollably happy, but when he thought of that undead, he had to calm down again.
Putting on his new arcane badge and magic badge, Lucian returned to the hall of the Sorcerer's Management Department.
Although Cindy and Donna had long been judged by the Grand Arcanist from Lucian's thesis that he could be promoted to a first-class arcanist, they still congratulated Lucian with shock and envy, because he was the fastest magician to obtain the official arcanist level after joining the Magic Council, and his future looked very bright.
After inviting Cindy and Donna to lunch, Lucian returns to Douglas School of Witchcraft and Wizardry to await the results of the review.
…………
On the fourteenth floor of the Magic Tower, a private lounge of the Committee.
Rogerio held a glass of red wine in his slightly pale hand and quietly listened to the report of the tall and burly undead opposite.
The undead wore a black hooded robe, but unlike the ancient sorcerer's robe, it had many quirky and mysterious white patterns. Its eyes flashed with a little red light, its skin was pale and delicate, and its figure appeared and disappeared, as if it was constantly shuttling between two worlds.
"Adore, you mean that Lucian Evans is a normal, hard-working magician who has not had contact with anyone who is suspicious? And the content of his magic experiments, you also know from his conversations with other teachers, is to master the characteristics of different elements by verifying the properties of the elements?" Rogerio was more polite to this undead, not like he treated ordinary summons, but more like a partner.
Undead Adole's hooded head nodded slightly: "Yes, no doubt. At the same time, I didn't find anyone monitoring Lucian Evans. Mr. Rogerio, you should understand that I can travel between two worlds, unless I am a legendary magician or a ninth-level cardinal, it is difficult to be sensed."
"No one is monitoring and protecting? I also plan to use this possibility to trace back to the professor." Rogerio stroked the back of his right hand holding the wine glass with his left hand, "Perhaps, Lucian Evans was thrown by the elemental will to attract and divert our attention, otherwise how could he use his real name openly. It's really complicated."
"We must promote the development of things, otherwise if Lucian does not contact the magicians of the elemental will for a long time, it will be difficult for the observation to have good results." Rogerio walked to the window and condescendingly watched the ant-sized Lucian leave the Magic Tower, "What else did he do this time besides updating his arcane points? Pass the assessment?"
In his heart, Lucian was afraid that he had studied arcane for a year and a half, and he had enough ability to pass the assessment.
…………
Larry's study.
He was busy consulting books and materials, calculating what he was doing with quills and auxiliary magic circles from time to time, until the tawny owl Matthew flew in to urge him, and he remembered the time to review the paper, so he picked up the papers accumulated in the past few days and read them carefully.
Looking at it, he found a familiar name: "Lucian Evans? Hehe, it's X, not K."
Although he didn't know anyone, his attention had already been focused, and he read more carefully than other papers before.
"The periodic repetition of elemental properties is very clear in this table, but whether it is a true periodic law is still a question mark. There were many similar ones in the previous discussion of element laws, but without exception, they were overturned by the discovery of new elements."
As a fifth-level arcanist specializing in elemental magic, Larry frowned slightly and thought.
"Uh, you actually pointed out that there was an error in atomic weight determination? This seems to be saying that if it does not match my periodic table, it must be 'you' fault? There are also predictions for new elements...... It's really bold."
"I have done the atomic weight determination of several of these elements many times, and it is not as wrong as he guessed."
I was going to directly judge that it would not pass the review, but after thinking about it, Larry muttered: "Other atomic weight determinations may need to be redone, but I don't have time for the time being, so I have to prepare a paper to speak at the Rentat Element Conference in a month...... Well, write it down and verify other speculations when it's over."
Then Larry wrote his evaluation on the surface of the paper.
In another place, Timothy, a fourth-level arcanist and five-ring magician, also began to write reviews, he was a student of the seven-ring magician Ofry.
…………
Three days later, Lucian took leave again to come to the "Magician Management Department", and this time he was received by a plump lady named Lucy, who looked ordinary, slightly gloomy, was a third-level arcane and a four-ring magician.
"Ms. Lucy, is the review result of my arcane thesis out?" Lucian asked politely, not as familiar with her as Eric.
Lucy's attitude was average, but she did not embarrass Lucian, and took out a document and said: "Just after reviewing, Mr. Gaston and Mr. Overley had similar evaluations: 'The paper summarizes the properties of the elements and arranges them in a periodic table according to their atomic weights, and at the same time boldly speculates on the discovery of new elements and some atomic weight errors, but there is no direct and strong evidence to show its correctness, and it is just a paper worth discussing. Pass the review and reward one arcane point and one arcane point."
Comparing the evaluation and points obtained by the bat paper, Lucian, who was prepared, was not angry, but felt a little funny and ridiculous.
