Seven days later, in the evening, in the dining hall.
Astar listened to Lucien attentively, and his left hand gently stroked Mercedes' neck. Mercedes was lying on the table comfortably, yawning from time to time.
When Lucien finished, Astar slightly clapped his hands and said, "Very good. Evans, you've mastered the axioms and theorems in the first part of Basics of Magic Geometry in only seven days. You've also learned how to draw and apply the axioms and theorems in the first part of Basics of Magic Geometry. You're one of the most talented people in the Congress, and I'm very pleased with your progress. I'm very satisfied with this. I'll give you the Brooke Meditation in advance later. "
After dinner, Astar asked Lucien a few questions about the basics of arcana. Naturally, Lucien answered all of them accurately and fluently, which won Astar's praise and appreciation.
Lucien smiled, "Thank you, Mr. Astar."
Showing his talent and potential in arcana and spiritual power could help him cover up the fact that he was going to make great progress in the future. If he kept a low profile, he would attract a lot of suspicion when he advanced to the middle or senior rank, which was not much inferior to those magic geniuses. It would cause a lot of unnecessary trouble, and he would have to spend a lot of effort to cover it up.
A piece of white paper and a quill jumped out from the shadow in front of Astar, and the quill was floating in the air. Astar crossed his hands and said to Lucien, "Evans, you're undoubtedly talented in arcana, so I won't test your ability to teach basic arcana and magic. Haha, a knowledgeable Arcana Master and a powerful Mage may not necessarily be a good teacher. "
His writing speed was very fast. As soon as he finished, the quill floating on the table stopped, and a page full of writing flew towards Lucien.
When Lucien was reading the meditation method carefully, Astar continued, "This meditation method is improved by Grand Arcanist Mr. Brook based on the theory of spiritual power waves. It's suitable for most kinds of meditation environments, including the meditation environment of stars of destiny in the school of Astrology and the meditation environment of the four elements in the school of Element. It's famous for its ability to strengthen one's soul and spiritual power when one reaches the middle rank, but it's not so effective anymore. Of course, when the time comes, you'll have to change to other senior-rank meditation methods. "
Astar did not ask Lucien for anything. He just wanted to invest in Lucien's feelings.
The way to strengthen spiritual power in Brook Meditation was very close to the concept of "spirit wave". The theory was complicated, but it was easy to use. It was very suitable for a sorcerer. Therefore, Lucien had learned a lot after reading it once, and he planned to try it out tonight.
If the meditation method was really as effective as Astar and Felipe said, Lucien would not have to wait a year to become a second circle sorcerer. As long as he had enough knowledge, he could analyze and construct second circle spells, and then he would be able to become a second circle sorcerer in one or two months.
"Mr. Astar, we're leaving for the Kingdom of Holm tonight, and I have some questions for you." Lucien burned the paper in his hand and looked at Astar sincerely.
Astar smiled gently, "Evans, do you want to know the general situation of the Congress?"
"Yes, Mr. Astar. The unknown is always scary, and I'm about to become a member of the Congress. Of course, I'm very interested in the Congress, such as the difference between arcanists and sorcerers, which organizations are in the Congress, which school of magic is divided into, how many legendary sorcerers and grand arcanists there are, and so on." Lucien told Astar all the questions in his mind.
Astar was a bit surprised, "The sorcerer who introduced you here is really irresponsible. He didn't tell you anything. Since Mr. President put forward the concept of arcana, arcana levels have gradually appeared, which are also divided into nine levels. Arcana credits can be earned by publishing arcana and magic research papers, creating and improving magic spells, proposing new magic potion formulas, and the number of times your research results are cited by other people. "Lucien nodded his head slightly.
"Since the Congress is very strict about arcana credits, and it's not easy to explore and research, and the mastery of arcana knowledge is often slower than the growth of one's spiritual power, basically, every sorcerer's magic level is higher than or equal to their arcana level.
Although arcana level doesn't seem to be very useful, according to hundreds of years of experience, unless the ancient sorcerers used all kinds of materials and rituals to improve and modify their soul and spiritual power, the level of arcana a sorcerer's magic level basically determines the limit of a sorcerer's power. For example, I'm a level five arcanist, which means that my knowledge level is far from enough to become a grand sorcerer. I'm at most a senior-rank sorcerer. "
"Therefore, in the Congress, arcana level is more important than magic level, and it's more respectable. Haha, of course, since magic level represents one's own power, no one would discriminate against someone with a high magic level and a low arcana level. That would be very likely to be killed by all kinds of strange magic. "
Lucien listened with great interest, and then he asked curiously, "Is a level nine arcanist a grand arcanist? How many grand arcanists are there in the Congress? "
"Grand arcanist is an honorable title. Only those who have made great theoretical contributions in the field of magic can be granted this title. However, those who have this title are either legendary sorcerers themselves, or have become legendary sorcerers with the full support of the Congress. Also, in the field of legendary magic, those who have the title of grand arcanist can grow faster than ordinary legendary sorcerers. Therefore, the title of grand arcanist represents the most powerful legendary sorcerer. Even if they're not a grand arcanist now, they'll definitely be one in the future. "
Astar was very respectful to the grand arcanists.
Then, seeing Lucien's curious eyes, he chuckled and said, "In the entire Congress, there are only seven who have the title of grand arcanist."
"Derek Douglas, the creator of arcana and modern magic system, one of the founders of calculus, the president of the Congress, the Emperor of Arcana, the Chosen One of Magic."
"Edwin Brook, the creator of electromagnetism, the definer of 'field', the 'Poem of the Goddess'."
In the ancient Magic Empire, the essence of magic was described as a goddess.
"Both of them are the top experts in the field of legendary magic. They're big shots who can control the whole world. They're only slightly weaker than the pope who can borrow the power of 'god'."
"There's also Oliver Constantine, the 'Hand of Annihilation', who redefined the four elements and connected them with Force Field and Electromagnetism magic."
"Yaroran Hathaway Hoffenberg, the 'Lord of Elements', one of the founders of calculus, redefined and classified elements, explained most of the elemental magic, and discovered seventeen elements other than the common ones. Although her legendary class still has the ancient name, it's actually completely different. "
"Fernando Balista, the 'Lord of Storm', who created the magic of thermodynamics independently from the concept of cold and heat."
"Helen Paris, the 'Witch of Iceland', the discoverer of the law of conservation of energy, and the one who perfected calculus. Her legendary class is also very different from the ancient name."
"Vicente Miranda, the 'Lord of the Undead', who cracked part of the mysteries of the soul and started to study the human body."
Astar only briefly introduced the seven grand arcanists without mentioning the magic they were good at or their personalities. Then he concluded, "They're also the seven most powerful legendary sorcerers in the Congress. It seems that if they don't make contributions to change the development of magic and the era, they won't be able to break through the barriers in the field of legendary magic in one or two hundred years."
"There are only eighteen legendary sorcerers in the Congress?" asked Lucien subconsciously.
Astar chuckled, "What do you mean only eighteen? Even the South Church, excluding the legendary Knight, only has nineteen legendary spellcasters. They're the most powerful organization in this world. Of course, there are still several legendary sorcerers who haven't joined the Congress yet. "
"It's my fault," said Lucien with a self-mocking smile, "Are the eighteen legendary sorcerers the highest level in the Congress?"
Astar shook his head, "Seven grand arcanists, eleven legendary sorcerers, and six ninth-circle archmages with very high arcana levels. They are the most powerful ninth-circle archmages. Together, they form the Highest Council of the Congress of Magic."
Before Lucien asked, Astar continued, "Currently, other than the eight schools of Force Field, Element, Necromancy, Summoning, Alchemy, Astrology, Illusion, and Transformation, there's also the school of Electromagnetism, the school of Heat, and the school of Light-darkness, which tries to explain Holy Light and Shadow with magic. Before reaching senior-rank, it's not a big deal for a sorcerer to study all the schools at the same time. However, after reaching senior-rank, every sorcerer will choose to focus on a few of the schools. Evans, if you want to have a big dream, you'd better focus on your studies before reaching senior-rank. "
"Thank you for your advice, Mr. Astar." In fact, Lucien wanted to be an all-rounder sorcerer, but he still needed to consider the advice of a senior-rank sorcerer.
Astar continued to talk about the general knowledge of the Congress of Magic. Seeing that it was getting dark, Astar cleared his throat and said, "There are many organizations in the Congress of Magic. You don't have to worry about the small ones. Just remember the big ones. There's the Royal Magic Academy in the four countries, Family of Sorcerers, Tower, Will of Elements, Hand of Paleness, Cabin of Palmeira, and Song of Silver Moon League. They more or less know the advancement rites of legendary classes, and some of them are even unique to the Congress."
"In fact, Evans, as long as you focus on your studies and listen to the Congress, you don't have to worry about those organizations."
It seemed that Astar was a member of the Congress.
Lucien nodded and smiled, "No one likes trouble."
"Haha." Astar's smile was very gentle, "It's getting late. Go back and get ready. Tom will take you to the Congress of Magic. By the way, when you reach the Congress of Magic, you can buy journals, low-level materials, and spells with money, but you need arcana points to buy the special and high-level materials. You can earn arcana points when you get arcana points, and you can also earn arcana points by selling magic items and information to the Congress of Magic. "
Lucien's lips twitched a bit. Virtual currency was even more advanced than paper money. Then he politely said goodbye to Astar, "Thank you for your explanation, Mr. Astar. I'm going to check on my three apprentices now."
