Chapter 222 pulls each other's hind legs
The "Longbaigen" hotel is a large guest room temporarily converted into a magic laboratory.
"Mr. Evans, these are the two third-level divine techniques you want, 'Thorns' and 'Harvest Source'." Estine handed Lucian two pieces of bark-like but elegant paper in a cold and disgusting tone.
This "elf paper" is made from the bark naturally fallen by the elf tree, which is a specialty of the elf clan, and is praised by many magicians in the Magic Council as one of the best materials for making high-end magic scrolls, which can be compared to dragon skins, but unfortunately the quantity is limited and often priceless.
These two druids of the "natural hatred" are worthy of being members of the elven royal court, and they are so generous as soon as they make a move, which makes the "hillbilly" Lucian quite greedy.
Taking the two pieces of paper imprinted with divine magic, Lucian saw that the "three-dimensional" imprint on it was very messy, and many parts gave people the feeling of missing and scattered, and there was no balance and mystery that a supernatural power model should have, so he frowned slightly and said: "Prince Exilion, Princess Estine, I think these two divine magic marks are incomplete, since you are here to cooperate, it is best to show sincerity."
"Our sincerity is to destroy cooperation as much as possible!" Estine cursed in her heart, and then replied with an elegant and perfect but cold smile: "Mr. Evans, we are druids, not magicians, and the extraordinary power we use comes from the gifts of nature. We have never learned, and will never learn the analysis and drawing knowledge of divine imprints, and we have done our best to draw like this."
Exilion was very satisfied with his sister's explanation and added proudly: "If you want to see the complete magic mark, we can directly map the magic by making magic items, but then it is protected by the will of nature, and can only be destroyed, and the contents inside cannot be analyzed. Mr. Evans, do you have the ability to keep the Mark of Divine Magic intact while penetrating the natural barrier?"
What he said was the truth, there were many magic items seized by the Magic Council, but they still stalled in cracking the mysteries of magic. One of the reasons for this is that most high-level magicians cannot stabilize the internal structure of the Divine Sigil when bypassing the Divine Barrier.
However, the great arcanists with this ability, after removing the magic barrier, found that according to the construction principle of the magic seal, they needed to use the inexplicable "power" in the dark, and this power was temporarily unknowable and unfathomable, so if the druids used magic to cooperate at the critical moment of analyzing the principle, they might gain something.
Lucian has a ninth-level magic item "Crown of the Sun" on his body, but he has always been unable to analyze the magic mark in it except for leaving a spiritual power imprint to stimulate magic according to Maskilin's message, so after seeing the uncooperative attitude of the two druids, he said in a research madman tone: "Okay, then I, Mr. Theodore, and Mr. Julian will analyze this part of the mark first."
"Since Mr. Evans, you are ready to start, it seems that it will be useless for us to stay, we want to go out for a walk first, observe the situation of the land and other research groups, and lay a good foundation for our future experiments." Although he was a little arrogant and impulsive, he couldn't control his mouth, but Exilion, who was born in the royal court, still had a good talent for making high-sounding excuses.
Lucian pushed the gold-rimmed glasses: "No, we need you to use divine magic for us to observe and sense when analyzing, otherwise we will not be able to continue. Don't you two cooperate sincerely?"
Before the Elven Court and the Druid Elders of the "Natural Hate Sect" issued further orders, Neither Exilion nor Estine dared to openly say that they were not cooperating, that they were here to cause trouble, which was simply an excuse for the Magic Council to put themselves and others under house arrest, and the Elven Court would not question such obviously unreasonable things in the future.
So the two elves replied depressedly: "Of course we are sincerely cooperating, but Mr. Evans, we have nothing to do when you analyze the magic, so why don't you just sit and wait?"
"You can sleep, you can pray to the will of nature, you can talk quietly, you can read the books I brought, in short, stay here so that I can get cooperation as soon as I need it." Lucian tried to imitate the image of an impersonal arcanist who was obsessed with experimenting and was impersonal, "If you still feel that you have nothing to do, I have a few beginner math problems here, do you want to do it?"
This is a Mathematical Olympiad exercise prepared for Annick and Sprint to "exercise thinking".
Looking at the thick stack of white paper in Lucian's hand, looking at the numbers on it that seemed to contain infinite mysteries and curses, Exilion and Elstin, who relied on the fusion of natural will to obtain the mark of divine magic, suddenly had a feeling of swollen heads and dizzy throbbing, they were the worst at mathematics and hated the most.
"This Mr. 'Elemental Order', when he is not studying arcane and discussing meat, is really an out-and-out elegant gentleman, with humor, knowledge, handsome appearance, polite manners, and at the same time has a good appreciation for art and a quiet and calm temperament, which is more attractive than many male elves, but as long as there is meat and arcane, he will completely reveal his devilish evil and ruthless side, which makes people hate and disgust!" Estine, who originally had a good sense of Lucian, secretly regretted the inconsistency of a "gentleman" and hated him for being a little itchy.
After Exilion and Arestine sat on a chair in the corner of the laboratory surrounded by elven guards, Theodore glanced at the complex magic marks, and then used "Communication" to tell Lucian: "I have a headache when I see these models, and the rest of the analysis is up to you!"
This is a short-distance communication magic, originally the second ring in the ancient magic empire, but after many arcanists have simplified and improved it, it has become an apprentice-level magic, wrapped in special energy to transmit sound waves, adapted to within ten meters.
At the same time, Yu Lian's headache also sounded in Lucian's ears through the "Communication Technique", and he was also very afraid of the mathematical foundation required for reverse analysis of the divine technique.
After handing over the "burden" to Lucian, the two battle-mad magicians pretended to look at the magic mark, and the quill in their hands floated and wrote, but in fact they were drawing the winter scenery with great interest.
"In this way, isn't it just me who analyzes magic?" Lucian was deeply "desperate" for this arcane research group, then took out a stack of white paper and began to answer the basic mathematical questions assigned by Lavindi.
Since he had not studied advanced mathematics in depth in his previous life, Lucian still had many flaws in this foundation, and he was able to quickly make up for it with the guidance of Lavendi, after all, the Magic Council that started the study of complex functions was equivalent to the level of the early and mid-nineteenth century on Earth, which was beyond the scope of most people's common sense learning.
Except for the books in the Soul Library that have not yet been unsealed, Lucian currently leads the Magic Council with only a few types of mathematical knowledge, such as linear algebra (matrices), axiomatic systems, and mathematical conjectures that he does not know the answer to.
Lucian once thought that after he became a high-ranking member of the Magic Council, he would put forward those famous mathematical conjectures one by one and publish them, so that the arcanists of the other world could enjoy a "mathematical feast".
In the corner, Estine and Exilion looked at Lucian's serious and handsome profile, the quill that kept scratching, and their hearts were as happy as they wanted: "No matter how serious you are, no matter how genius you are, when the magic mark is incomplete, I think you can quickly reverse the analysis?!"
This kind of happy emotion of successful schemes and gaining the upper hand fermented in the hearts of the two elves, making them feel that time was not difficult.
Time passed minute by minute, and Lucian suddenly spoke: "Prince Exilion, please use the 'Thorns' magic technique."
Exilion's face became serious, and he released this three-ring magic as quickly as possible, and clumps of dark green bushes like iron thorns appeared in the room, quickly completely enveloping the laboratory floor, making it difficult for people to step on, and its ghostly light seemed to pierce the knight's defenses.
"It's good, I'm a little inspired." Lucian nodded expressionlessly, then turned around and continued to do math exercises
After a while, Lucian's emotionless request rang again:
"Princess Estine, please use the divine spell 'Harvest Source'."
"Okay."
Divine magic fluctuations are generated.
……
"Prince Exilion, please cast the 'Harvest Source'."
……
"Princess Estine, please release the 'Thorns' again."
…………
The requirements echoed in the laboratory again and again, and divine magic fluctuations occurred again and again.
"It's lunchtime, Mr. Evans, how are you doing? Have you figured out the principle behind the magic?" Exilion got up a little tired and asked. Although they delayed from time to time on the excuse that they needed to recover in order to obstruct the analysis, by lunchtime, they each released their magic dozens of times.
Lucian put away the white paper on the table and told them with a serious face: "I'm sorry, due to the incomplete mark of divine magic, my analysis has not made much progress."
Exilion and Estine couldn't help but cheer in their hearts, and at the same time squeezed out an understanding expression: "It's okay, Mr. Evans, everything starts hard, don't worry."
"Yes. Let's have lunch first." Lucian said with a hard time keeping a dead face. A problem has been solved, and you can enjoy the food with a happy mood.
When it came to lunch, Theodore, who was almost asleep, ran out like Julian Rabbit.
"By the way, Mr. Evans, please return those two 'elf papers' to us, I think you have memorized the magic mark." Estine is not willing to take advantage of this hateful magician!
Lucian immediately became painful.
…………
Three days later, Elsteen and Exilion, who were "trapped" in the magic laboratory and couldn't leave, accidentally heard that other research groups had begun experimenting with land, so they found Lucian with some suspicion.
He hasn't made any progress yet? Is it perfunctory to his brother and sister?
