Lucian froze in place, Lazar almost hit his back, but fortunately he reacted in time:
"What's wrong?"
"The vase has a curse." Lucian didn't have time to identify, so he chose the easiest way for Lazar to understand.
"What? Curse!" Lazar's voice suddenly became high-pitched, completely unable to understand Lucian's unhurried, calm and calm attitude, and he seemed to be faintly excited?!
"The mystery is above! Lucian, this is murdering you with a curse! Why do you seem to be talking about today's weather?" Lazar pulled Lucian away from the vase, sure and sure that he saw a hint of fanatical excitement in Lucian's eyes.
Lucian restrained his excitement, stopped the drooling that seemed to be about to flow out, and made himself act like a victim, and said in a suppressed and angry voice: "Lazar, close the atomic research institute, don't let anyone go out, and concentrate all the gifts received during this time. I will report to the Panel."
"Okay!" Lazar usually looks hippie and smiling, optimistic and enthusiastic, but he is never verbose at critical moments.
When Lazar left, he opened the blockade magic circle and asked Roque, Annick and other magicians and apprentices to put all the gifts they received in the small conference room.
Since it causes electron induction in its cognitive world at close range, it means that it is likely to be a β ray (also an electron stream), so the possibility of radioactive elements is the greatest.
After all, whether it is the nuclear bomb that the people of the earth are most familiar with, or many other uses, it is inseparable from this type of element, but even if many unstable isotopes are radioactive, none of them meet Lucian's requirements.
Without delay, Lucian pushed the monocle he was wearing in his left eye: "Tang Pu, I found a vase with a curse in the office of my atomic research institute, suspected to be an assassination by the church, send someone to investigate as soon as possible."
"I'm currently outside, so I'll ask the investigator from the Corrections Department to come over immediately. I'll rush back as soon as possible." A member of the Arcane Review Committee was assassinated with a curse, which was a very bad incident, and he was also his classmate, the most potential senior arcanist.
Also at the parliamentary headquarters, in less than three minutes, the investigators of the Department of Corrections entered the Atomic Institute.
There are five investigators, led by a middle-aged man with curly brown hair and dark skin, who wears the "Black Scepter" badge of the Ministry of Punishment, the arcane badge of four silver stars, and the magic badge of six black rings on his chest.
"Commissioner Evans, I am Deacon Barack of the Correctional Department, and I am on duty in the Correctional Department today, and I accepted the order of Commissioner Tang Pu to investigate the curse incident." Belak, who had dark skin and seemed to be of the southern desert race of the Duchy of Calais and the Kingdom of Briana, had an unusually solemn and serious expression.
The Department of Corrections does not have a minister, but is directly under the leadership of the Affairs Committee, and only twelve deputy ministers with low arcane levels and magic levels in the seventh or eighth rings handle daily affairs, so even if Belak is a high-level magician, he can only become a deacon.
Lucian asked Roque and other magicians and apprentices to gather in an office, and another investigator questioned them, while he and Lazar took Belak into the small conference room, pointed to the vase in his room and said, "Berak, this vase is cursed."
Belak unleashed the inspection magic, but the vase did not respond.
"No problem?" Belak whispered as he stirred up a magical item on his body, and the pale green light sprinkled on the vase, but there was still no response.
After changing several inspection magic of different levels and fields in a row, Belak didn't notice it at all, so he turned his head to look at Lucian suspiciously: "Commissioner Evans, after my inspection, there is no curse. Or do you have any special check-up magic? Can you provoke the curse?"
Although he is facing a review committee, Belak, who is also a high-level magician, still has the courage to express different opinions.
"I don't have the corresponding magic, but I can use the magic circle in the laboratory to check a ray." Lucian explained.
Belak did not believe it directly: "Can you demonstrate it, Commissioner Evans? As an investigator, I have to verify every detail."
"No problem." Lucian asked Belak to bring the vase and other items containing the "curse" he sensed into the laboratory.
…………
"This, isn't this a cathode ray? No, the energy seems to be much higher!" Seeing the familiar reactions and natures, Lazar couldn't help but cry out.
Then he suddenly realized: "No wonder Lucian, you can detect the curse, the rays you come into contact with every day will always feel familiar!"
This is not an exaggeration, for magicians whose souls have mutated, enhanced spiritual power, and who have a clear understanding of the reality of the cognitive world, it is easy to develop a sense of familiarity with something after being exposed to it for a long time and clearly understanding its characteristics.
"But what does this have to do with curses? Isn't it a new particle discovered by Commissioner Evans?" Belak still didn't believe this was a "curse", "Maybe the vase is made of special materials that can freely emit electron streams? I think you may be too sensitive, probably just a coincidence."
"I insist that it is a curse and that my star of destiny senses danger." Lucian pushed the problem above the star of destiny and astrology, no one knew his strength in this regard anyway.
Belak took out a record book and recorded it in detail: "I will ask the Affairs Committee to send a high-ranking magician or archmage in curses to help confirm, Commissioner Evans, please be patient, rest assured, even if we can't confirm it yet, we will investigate the origin of the vase and will not delay the time to trace the clues."
This is the treatment that an Arcane Audit Committee deserves.
"Okay." Lucian, Lazar, and Belak returned to the small conference room.
Worried about a curse, Belak did not let the two in, and he went to the other investigators' locations to check what had been asked.
"What kind of material is the vase that can emit 'cathode rays' by itself?" Lazar said amusefully and doubtfully, "If we had known that this kind of material existed, why would we have to work hard to study it with gas discharge."
Lucian covered his mouth and said: "It's probably a special material, I hope it's not a curse simulation, and being assassinated once will always be a bit rewarding."
"No wonder I thought you were excited before, Lucian, your greedy side is getting worse and worse, and one day you will become like a dragon." Lazar suddenly realized and casually teased Lucian.
Lucian glanced at him with "contempt": "That's because you haven't seen a real dragon."
After waiting for more than ten minutes, after several investigators preliminarily sorted out the interrogation records, the door of the Atomic Research Institute opened without warning, and Tang Pu walked in with a tall and thin old man.
The old man had an ordinary face, his eyes were closed, his hair was covered by a hood, and his black magic robe had no variegation, like the darkest of nights.
"Your Excellency the Cursed Eye?" Lucian recognized him as the "Cursed Eye" Atlant Forman who had been to the Atomic Research Institute.
"I haven't returned to Calais yet, and I'm going to stay at the headquarters for a while. I heard Fernando say that you have encountered a strange curse event, so come and take a look, collecting all kinds of strange curses is my hobby." Atlante's voice was flat and soft, long-winded but not boring, which made people doubt "in their hearts" disappear.
"Sorry to trouble you, Your Excellency." Faced with this "cursed eye" that left behind all kinds of strange legends, even if Lucian was used to seeing legends, he had a sense of fear and fear that "came from the heart".
Atlante nodded leisurely, slowly paced to the vase, paused for a few seconds, and suddenly opened his eyes, and the entire vase suddenly turned a dark green color.
When he opened his eyes, Lucian was in a trance, and there seemed to be countless figures reflected in his black pupils, deep and weird!
"It is indeed a curse." A little bit of black permeated the meaning of the dark green, and the "cursed eye" Atlant made a judgment, "Its own spell model is very simple, mainly relying on the particularity of the material, so it cannot be detected by most inspection magic. It is preliminarily certain that if you are affected by this curse for a long time, you will be inexplicably exhausted and suffer from various serious illnesses until you die."
Lucian nodded secretly, finally sure that radioactivity was part of cursed magic, and Lucian didn't know what was even weirder.
"Thank you for your confirmation, Your Excellency Atlanta, I have also targeted several magicians after inquiring here, but I am not sure if they are intentional or unintentional, because the cursed items containing special materials all seem to be produced by the same trading company, and the details are very similar." Belak reported to the Cursed Eye, Tang Pu, and Lucian.
"Thorough investigation!" Tang Pu is usually gentle and amiable, but at this time he is extremely ruthless.
Atlanta smiled slightly and said: "I won't be involved in the investigation, can you give me a cursed vase? I'm curious about this curse and special material."
"No problem, there are many cursed items." How could Tang Pu refuse a legend's request.
Lucian quickly echoed: "Can you also leave me a few cursed items, I am very interested in special materials, which have a lot to do with the 'electronics' I have been researching recently."
"No problem, the exploration of the microcosm is the current focus of the council." Tang Pu admired Lucian's "fanatical" research spirit very much, even if he was assassinated, he didn't take it to heart at all, and devoted all his energy to research, no wonder he could get so many honors at such a young age!
After leaving an investigator to guard the scene, Belak led the remaining three people to start a follow-up investigation.
Because things had not yet been sorted out, in addition to Lucian, Lazar, Roque and others were all asked to stay overnight at the council headquarters, so Lucian comforted Heidi, Katrina, Annick and other magic apprentices for a while, telling them not to be nervous, things would be resolved.
After doing this, it was getting dark, and Lucian simply stayed in the magic laboratory, preparing to seize the time to analyze the radioactive elements contained in the vase.
Only a few days later, a cursed item was delivered to the door, and Lucian inevitably felt a sense of danger, so he temporarily interrupted the creation of the four-ring magic "X-ray" attached to the "cathode ray", preparing to create two or three more unique attack or defense magic in case of emergency.
There are many, many magics that radioactive elements can bring, except for the theory of relativity and mass-energy equations that Lucian is temporarily unable to derive (the corresponding books in the soul library are still sealed, and Lucian has not studied them in the past. And even if it is constructed, it is estimated to be legendary magic, distant water cannot save near fire), as well as "cursed" magic, the discovery of "helium" elements, etc.
If the "helium" element is discovered, Lucian can use its liquefaction magic to lower the limit of ultra-low temperature again, even to the point where it is only three or four degrees Celsius away from absolute zero.
This ice and snow magic is likely to be even more terrifying than the high-end!
The only problem is that you will most likely need materials to match when casting, and you will freeze yourself to death if the range is not right.
It has been changed.
Asking for a monthly pass, it has fallen to the fifth place in the overall list, and the difference between the two is not more than many votes, please keep it!
