When Lucian stepped into the half-plane with Norman, a member of the Guiding Committee, he didn't feel like he was in the half-plane at all, as if this was part of the main material world, and everything operated according to the same law, ordinary but contained deep mysteries.
Although each legendary magician's half-plane presents a different style due to its own perception of the world, preferences, and specialties, it is not surprising that each has extremely special properties, unlike Douglas's half-plane, with towering verdant mountains in the distance, dense black forests and mirror-like clear lakes nearby, and carpet-like lawns around the Magic Tower, which are indistinguishable from the main material world, just like one of the places with excellent scenery, without the slightest speciality.
"The teacher's ideal is to gain insight into the reality of the world, so the closer the half-plane is to the main material world, the better it is for him." Norman, who was young and handsome, explained with a smile.
Lucian nodded slightly, and looked around the half-plane with no bounds in sight again: "No wonder Your Excellency the Speaker named his half-plane 'Linsodd'."
"Linthord" means "the real world" in the language of the ancient Sylvanas magical empire, so Douglas' half plane is also called "real secret realm" and "mirror world".
Passing through the gate of the Magic Tower guarded by two mithril golems, Norman took Lucian into a small living room, where two guests, a man and a woman, were already seated.
In the living room, there is a bright red carpet, with sofas, coffee tables and several rows of bookshelves arranged casually, messy but quite comfortable, without strict rules, it seems to be a private place for Douglas to entertain close friends and juniors, rather than an ordinary banquet living room.
"Teacher, Your Excellency the Storm Lord, Your Excellency the Prophet are still doing the final test, let's wait a little longer." Norman saw that there was only one man and one woman in the living room, and explained with a smile, and then he introduced to Lucian: "These two are both students of the teacher, and they happened not to go out, nor did they have any research that they could not put down temporarily, so they rushed over to witness this historic moment. If the teacher's artificial planet can fly around the world and be observed by the astrological tower on the ground, the teacher's celestial operation system will be strongly proven, and there will be no need to be questioned as it is now."
Speaking of this, Norman was a little excited and excited, feeling aggrieved by the doubts the teacher had suffered over the past few hundred years, and almost forgot to continue the introduction, but fortunately, he came back to his senses in time and pointed to the half-old man whose hair had turned gray and said: "This is Artier, the student who has followed the teacher the longest, and is good at astrology, force field, transformation and light and darkness."
Artia had a thin face, bulging cheekbones, narrow eyes, thin lips, and the insignia of an eighth-level arcanist and a nine-ring archmage on his chest, but he was not a member of any committee, nor was he a member of the Supreme Council.
He nodded lightly, and said plainly but slightly sharply: "I am not the student who has followed the teacher for the longest time, and there is a guy who is older than me and has studied with the teacher for a longer time."
As soon as these words came out, Norman and the other woman were quite embarrassed and didn't know how to respond, but Lucian suddenly realized that he should be referring to the "Emperor of Control" and "Poetry of the Goddess" Honorable Brooke, who was rumored to be strangers to Speaker Douglas due to the argument of the wave particles of light.
For the two Normans, who were "not too old" and had never experienced this matter themselves, this is a record in ancient classics, a legend in poetry and stories, and it is difficult to produce extreme disgust and hatred, and it is likely that in the eyes of Altia, who studied with Brooke with Douglas for a long time, this is a blatant betrayal, a shameless act, and an act worthy of spurning, no wonder he has no respect for Brooke.
Seeing that Lucian kept smiling and did not ask questions because of Artier's "faux pas", Norman quickly pointed to the other young woman and said: "This is Luciana, who is also a student of the teacher, good at elements, astrology, force fields, summoning and transformation, and also has a deep study in the field of mathematics and science.
"I just finished reading the journal "Nature", and I am very interested in you and Mr. Levsky's new geometry, and I plan to start further research, hoping to gradually improve and enrich the two new geometric systems." Luciana's hair with a special pedigree is like flames, setting off her skin to be crystal clear and delicate. She is medium in stature, full of foreign charm, and seems to be less than twenty-five years old, but the badges of the seventh-level arcanist, the eight-ring magician, and the member of the Arcane Review Committee on her chest strongly refute the conclusion obtained by the vision.
Before Lucian could answer, Artia smiled faintly: "Luciana, what is the value of research on this new geometric system that has no actual arcane and magical meaning? Time is precious to everyone, even if our lives are quite long, but the world is so vast and profound, even if it takes hundreds of years, it may not be close to the truth, so we can't afford to waste time at all. If the teacher's artificial planet experiment is successful, it will be a big breakthrough in the star system and the force field system, and there are things for you to study."
He was completely indifferent to the new geometric system.
Norman on the side nodded indiscriminately, as if he agreed with Altiel's words, but he couldn't criticize his new geometry system as useless in front of Lucian as Artier, criticizing Luciana for not doing her job properly and wasting her time.
"This is my hobby and a way to relax in my spare time." Luciana coldly retorted that she just liked to study things full of mathematical beauty, and didn't actually think that these two new geometric systems could have any real arcane and magical value.
"I believe this one doesn't need to be introduced by me, right? Lucian Evans, the most famous genius arcanist in the council in recent years, has talents that no one else can match in the fields of elements, heat and mathematics." Norman quickly changed the subject and introduced Lucian to the two classmates.
Artia pointed to the sofa: "Evans, sit down, before the teacher and the others come down, we can discuss and exchange arcane and magical issues. Although I don't know much about the elemental realm, I know that your newly discovered electrons are the cause of lightning, hehe, isn't the electromagnetic system based on waves?"
He was pretty normal when he didn't discuss the things he despised and hated.
"In fact, the electromagnetic system has always believed that electric current is an external manifestation of charge movement, but it has not been previously associated with microscopic particles." Lucian replied impartially, and took a sip of the lemon tea given by the servant.
"No matter what, particles are the essence and foundation of the world!" Altia said with some fanaticism, "As long as the teacher's artificial planet experiment can succeed, then Brooke will no longer be able to question the teacher's celestial operation system. The reason why the planet cannot be discovered must be for other reasons! In this way, the teacher's experiment on the speed of light will strongly prove that the aether medium does not exist, and without the medium, the fluctuation of light is like a tall building whose foundation has been dug up, and can no longer rule the brains of the council's arcanists, but can only collapse."
"Light and spiritual power are particles, and they must be particles!"
Norman frowned and interrupted Altia's fantasy quite disapprovingly: "Let's not talk about the teacher's experiment has not succeeded yet, even if it does, it can only be proven strongly, not completely, maybe there are other theories including the ether to explain this experiment, and the diffraction phenomenon of light and the bright spots in Brooke's shadow are temporarily inexplicable in particle theory, so we can't be too optimistic."
"Norman, okay, I can see that you actually support volatility, right?" Artia was furious, "Why isn't the phenomenon of light diffraction only a strong proof, not a complete proof, and maybe there are other explanations including particle theory?"
Norman, who was accused, was a little annoyed: "Aren't all the theoretical explanations put forward in the past few decades falsified? Artier, open your eyes blinded by jealousy, and see how many arcanists in the council still support particle theory, and if you want to overturn the wave theory, use particle theory to explain the diffraction phenomenon first!"
"Jealousy? Am I jealous?" Altia pointed at herself angrily and incredulously, "Will I hate that bastard Brooke? I just trust my own judgment!"
Luciana also joined the battle group: "Unfortunately, Norman, you look down on me, I am the arcanist who supports the particle theory in very small numbers. A doctrine that cannot even be proven by its own foundation, hum, it does not make sense just because there are many people who believe it!"
"Indeed, in the past, when many theories were overturned, the truth was in the hands of a few, but particle theory could not even explain experimental phenomena, so why should the arcanists believe it?" Norman unconsciously showed his true inclinations.
"You traitor!" Artier's narrow eyes widened with anger.
"I'm just holding on to the truth!" Norman responded unceremoniously.
Three Douglas students got into a fierce quarrel over wave theory and particle theory, leaving Lucian aside.
Lucian wiped his forehead with a little cold sweat, a little worried that they would fight and affect him, and when he saw Artia and Norman blushing and thick-necked, he thought to himself: "It's really a dangerous thing to argue about wave theory and particle theory in the Magic Council......"
"Norman, what other problems are you working on with the initial impetus? It's so arrogant, you dare to study a problem that even the teacher can't solve?"
"Hmph, I study what my hobby is, and the teacher is also very concerned about this issue, which is related to the ultimate destination of his theoretical system. Artier, don't think I don't know, you are quietly researching yourself! Take a mirror and look at yourself first!"
The quarrel became more and more intense, and almost at the same time, the three of them turned their heads to look at Lucian:
"Evans, what do you think about wave theory and particle theory?"
"Evans, I heard that you proposed the artificial planet experiment to help the teacher prove that 'ether' does not exist?"
"I believe that every arcanist who is good at elemental magic is a staunch particle supporter."
Lucian suddenly felt like he was lying down and being shot, and was about to answer in a careful tone when Douglas, Fernando and the tower "Prophet" walked down from upstairs.
