——4,000 words long chapter, so it's a little late, thank you for the tip from VampireKnight's friends, congratulations on becoming the twelfth leader of this book.

Morris leaned back subconsciously, always worried that he would be washed directly by Lavendi's saliva, and smiled a little sarcastically: "Lavendi, calm down, calm down, that's not what I meant. What I want to say is that the discovery of the periodic law reflects Evans' thinking and inspiration more than his arcane level is high enough to stand at the top of the field of elemental magic, which is somewhat inconsistent with the Holm Crown Award being the highest honor in elemental magic."
If he were not born in the Holm royal family and was an elemental mage, he would be most suitable to serve as the president of the Royal Magic Academy of Holm, and the other president on the surface of the elemental will would be Ravendi, after all, his arcane level was one level higher than his own.
As a ninth-level arcanist, a nine-ring magician, and an authority in the field of elemental magic, Ravendi would have been able to enter the Supreme Council long ago if he had not been grumpy and direct, and did not have the strength to overwhelm all doubts like the Storm Lord, so Maurice was always a little lacking in confidence when facing him.
Regardless of whether they supported Maurice's opinion or not, seeing him frightened by the madly roaring Ravendi, the other high-level magicians showed knowing smiles, and they had enjoyed such saliva and face without being angry.
As long as Ravendi recognizes one thing or agrees with a certain arcane knowledge, it doesn't matter whether the person debating on the other side has a good relationship or status with him. It is rumored that he once roared at each other face to face with the storm lord for the proof of a certain number theory, of course, he was slightly less capable and was pointed out by the storm lord to prove the loophole, which ridiculed him to the point of being incomplete.
"Maurice, don't be your miser! The purpose of the Holm Crown Award is to recognize magicians who have made breakthrough contributions in the field of elemental magic and can leave a footprint in the history of elemental magic. Did Ms. Meredith win the award when her arcane level was not enough to stand at the top of the elemental magic field?" Lavendi still roared regardless of Morris' weakness.
Exposed by Ravendi mainly because he was stingy and reluctant to use high-level materials to refine the seventh-level Holm Crown Ring, Morris faced his questioning and couldn't organize an effective defense for a while, so he blocked his hand in front of his face and said: "Yes, yes, yes. But the results of the first twenty-five Holm Crown Prizes have opened up a new field or discovered a new method or a new theorem, and the periodic table seems to be just a regular summary?"
He still felt heartache about the ring and refused to admit defeat.
Gaston saw that the "battle situation" was almost over, and before Lavindi continued to roar, he coughed: "President Morris, I believe you will not be unable to see the great significance of the periodic table. As for whether it is a regular summary, let's look at a few of the past winners: Ms. Meredith was awarded for introducing electrolytic methods to discover new elements, and President Donald, who is not currently in Allinger, was awarded for introducing methods of spectroscopic analysis to discover new elements. They were awarded not because they discovered a new element, but because they discovered a new method, as President Morris said, because they discovered a new element, and the new element was just a side effect to prove that the new method was useful."
"Looking back, looking at the periodic table, we also discovered two new elements according to the guidance of the periodic law, so is there anything wrong with giving the Holm Crown Prize to Evans, who discovered the periodic law? His arcane level is the same as when Ms. Meredith won the award."
Snap, the blow at the critical moment hit the flaw in Morris's words, and he suddenly had nothing to say, only looking around at his allies.
His allies, represented by Florence, a member of the Affairs Committee, looked at Lavindi's slightly flushed face from his roar, shook his head firmly, and rejected Maurice's request for help.
Morris raised his right hand and pressed: "Okay, I agree to award Evans the Holm Crown Award, does anyone object?"
Ravendi looked around, all the high-ranking officials with voting rights of the Elemental Will put their hands quietly, and several high-ranking officials of the Holm Royal Magic Academy moved, but they still didn't dare to raise their hands.
"I announce that the Elemental Will and the Royal Academy of Magic of Holm have unanimously approved the decision to award the Holm Crown Award to Mr. Evans." Morris said seriously first, then his expression twisted slightly, "Now we should discuss the unique name of the Holm Crown Ring and the need for constant magic, preferably close to the results of Evans' periodic table. As for the style, leave it to Florence, who likes to design jewelry styles."
The mature and gorgeous blonde beauty Florence glanced at Morris: "Although I do like to design jewelry styles and am willing to accept this task, my dear teacher, don't you really want to save that design cost?"
Florence is a level 6 arcane sorcerer, but has outstanding magical talent, and is currently an eight-ring magician, good at elements, summoning, electromagnetism and force fields, and is said to have good achievements in the small field of "cursed magic", and she is less than seventy years old, and she is a disciple accepted by Maurice after becoming a nine-ring archmage, and as a result, she broke through to a high level in just thirty years, becoming a member of the Magic Council Affairs Committee and a director of the Royal Magic Academy of Holm.
Seen through by his own students, Morris pinched his face and said seriously: "As the dean of the elemental will and the president of the Holm Royal Magic Academy, I can't waste the organization's financial resources at will like you."
"Teacher, you are the opposite, you are the president of the Elemental Will and the president of the Royal Magic Academy of Holm." Florence covered her mouth and smiled coquettishly.
Morris's facial muscles jumped: "This is not the point. The point is, what word should Evans' ring be used as the name?"
The names of the Holm Crown Rings are all words, never repeated and as much as possible in line with the achievements of the winners.
"Periodic table, uh, just use the word period?" Florence was interested in choosing a name.
Gaston touched his gray hair and looked at Florence with strange dark yellow eyes: "The concept of period is easy to confuse with the period in force fields, electromagnetism, light and darkness, astrological factions, and mathematical foundations, and is not unique enough."
"How about 'foresight'?" Rockliny, a member of the Arcane Review Committee, stroked her black hair that ran over her shoulders and asked others for advice with her pale blue eyes, and as a woman, she was equally interested in naming.
Another female member of the Arcane Review Committee, Lydia, was beautiful and seemed to have succubus blood, she turned her crystal clear crimson eyes and smiled: "Loni, you are the name of 'Arcane Scepter' or 'Silver Moon Medal', I think it should be named Law, symbolizing the hidden law between the elements."
"No, it doesn't reflect the characteristics of the elemental realm." Florence did not hesitate to object.
Then, the five or six women began to argue, constantly choosing names and being rejected by others, and heard that Morris, Gaston, Overery and other men frowned one after another, and it was not easy to interrupt their discussion, so they set their sights on Lavendi, hoping that he would come forward to make a final decision.
LaVendi half-closed his eyes as if he were asleep, and although he was grumpy and direct, he never interfered in the ladies' discussions.
At this time, Morris's expression suddenly became a little solemn, and he knocked on the table: "Just now Your Excellency Hathaway told me that the Holm Crown Ring is named 'Element' because it contains all the elements and the laws between them."
Florence wanted to say something, but after a tsk, she held back again, and Her Excellency Hathaway was still a lady.
The other high-level arcanists were silent, naming with this word is indeed unique and reflects the characteristics of the field of elemental magic, but it is really a bit heavy, even when the great arcanist Constantine, who redefined the four basic elements, and Hathaway, the great arcanist who defined and pioneered modern elemental magic, were posthumously awarded the "Holm Crown Award", their ring names were not "elemental", one was "cornerstone", and the other was "pioneer".
However, this is the suggestion of His Excellency the Great Arcanist, and it is very appropriate, so Lavendi was the first to say: "Just use the elements, as for the constant magic effect and level seven magic, Maurice, you can decide for yourself when refining." The ladies could not discuss it anymore.
Maurice is not only an elemental archmage, but also an alchemical archmage.
"One more thing, Evans is now a fourth-level arcanist, and in a broad sense, he is already an intermediate level. I am worried that someone will use this as an excuse to assign him a task through the Panel." Florence smiled softly and said, "Although they may not do this for our sake, we still can't have loopholes in doing things ourselves."
Gaston clasped his hands, fell silent, and then said: "Since the arcane level has reached the intermediate level, it is emphasized that combat and adventure missions cannot be arranged, only research tasks. Florence, you first arrange a simple research task for Evans to put an end to other people's delusions. Uh, provided he is willing to join us in the Elemental Will."
"I'll find the right one." Florence smiled and nodded, "By the way, do any of you want to accept Evans as a student?"
Most of the arcanists present shook their heads without hesitation, because Lucian Evans was about to win the Holm Crown Award and they didn't!
If their students receive the Holm Crown Prize, it is something they are proud of teaching well, but accepting a Holm Crown Prize winner as a student will test their self-esteem, so they simply refuse.
Since the establishment of the Holm Crown Award, a total of 25 rings have been awarded, six of which have been reissued to the great arcanists and legendary magicians in the Supreme Council, all of whom have made contributions to the field of elemental magic and are still alive, and eight of the remaining nineteen have died for various reasons over the course of more than 270 years.
Of the remaining eleven people, one was still wandering before the senior level, two were not successful later, one liked quiet research and exploration and refused to join any organization, and the other seven, except for Donald, who later entered the Supreme Council, and Morris, who served as the branch president, all became members of the Arcane Review Committee, that is, Lavendi, Gaston and other five people present.
Therefore, those who have won the Holm Crown Award may not be able to enter the Arcane Review Committee, but those who have entered the Arcane Review Committee in the name of the elemental field must have the Holm Crown Ring.
Gaston touched the dark blue brilliant diamond ring on his left hand and thought for a moment: "Observe it again, I admire Evans' bold assumptions, careful verification thinking and firm will in his discoveries of the periodic table. But he is still young, he has just started on the road of arcane and magic, the foundation has not yet been solid, especially in terms of mathematical foundation, and he has not yet shown which magic faction is more talented, so he will observe carefully for a while, and we can't wait until he becomes our disciple to find out that he cannot provide guidance on the corresponding arcane."
Mainly worried about Lucian's arcane potential.
"I agree with Gaston, Florence, pay attention when you arrange the research task." Lavindi nodded and said, "I will also observe him."
"Now that we have reached a consensus, let's first congratulate the youngest Holm Crown Medal winner in history, Oh, he is not yet 21 years old!" Morris stood up while clapping, "I have to make rings all night, and the warehouse of the poor elemental will and Holm Royal Magic Academy will be empty again."
In fact, Lucian is not yet nineteen years old.
…………
Due to Lucian's appearance, the date of the Elemental Conference was extended considerably, and it was not until Saturday evening that Ravendi announced the end of the annual Magic Council.
But Ravendi did not signal everyone to leave, but said loudly: "I believe everyone is impressed by what happened at this 'Annual Conference on Elemental and Alchemy Magic', but the discovery of the law of elemental cycles will surely make this meeting go down in the annals of magic. Therefore, after consulting with the Royal Academy of Magic in Holm, we at Elemental Will have decided to award Mr. Lucian Evans the Holm Crown Award in recognition of his groundbreaking contributions in the field of elemental magic! Evans, please come on stage."
Larry, Timothy and others looked at Lucian with slight surprise, they expected Lucian to win the Holm Crown Award, but they didn't expect it to come so quickly and directly!
When Lucian got up, the arcanists applauded with mixed emotions while being happy for Lucian, and the applause was not crazy but warm.
Lazar saw his friend walking gracefully and calmly onto the high stage amidst applause, and only felt that the past two months were like a dream, and Lucian, who had just come into contact with arcane magic and didn't know anything about the Magic Council, seemed to still appear in front of him from time to time.
Stepping onto the high platform, Ravendi looked at the staircase again: "Please ask Mr. Maurice Hoffenberg, President of the Elemental Will and President of the Royal Magic Academy of Holm, to present the award to Evans."
The arcanists didn't expect the scene to be so grand, and even His Excellency Morris came, casting their eyes over one after another.
Maurice walked in with the Elemental Will and the rest of the high-ranking officials of the Holm Royal Magic Academy, then walked up to the high platform alone, stood next to Lucian, and smiled: "Congratulations, Evans. But before presenting you with the Holm Crown Award, can you tell us how you feel now?"
The applause was warm again, Lucian looked at the arcanists below the hall, first lowered his head and smiled, and then said very "seriously":
"The reason why I can see further is because I stand on the shoulders of giants."
