Inside the hall of the Headquarters of the Magic Council.
Lazar was laughing so hard that he could barely breathe, "Lucien, Lucien, didn't you see Ms. Lauwette's face? She's as black as the Furnace Men in the desert in the south! It's like giving a hundred arcana credits to the wrong person … Haha, maybe her house is on fire, and her savings are all gone … I'm so happy to see that! A lot of people hate her! "
"It's just a matter of following the rules of the Task Area. Why would she do something like this? I can't understand her." Lucien shook his head with a smile, with a stack of books in his hands.
Lazar patted his chest and stopped laughing, "Ms. Lauwette is the kind of person I've mentioned before. When she gets old, she feels that she's not as smart as she used to be, so she tries her best to save money so that she can have a good life and leave a valuable legacy for her children and grandchildren. When she sees the sorcerers who are still working hard to improve their power and knowledge, she always looks like someone owes her a lot of money. "
"In fact, I can understand them, but I hope that I won't be like them when I'm over sixty."
"It's hard to imagine that you, Lazar, who always has a sunny smile on your face, would have such a hateful expression." Lucien thought for a while, "So, let's try it in advance. You can lend me thirty arcana points, and I'll pay you back in a hundred years."
Lazar glared at Lucien, "That's my reward for improving the spell. Lucien, do you really have the heart to do that? Speaking of which, you've run into those three kids again. I wonder what their expressions will be like. "
Among the five magic schools in Allyn, Douglas Magic School was the best. It was good at Force Field, Electromagnetism, Astrology, and Elements. Allyn Magic School and Bisancho Magic School were second. Bisancho Magic School was good at Necromancy and Summoning, while Trident Magic School was good at Transfiguration and Illusion. Trident Magic School mainly taught the latest three schools: Electromagnetism, Thermodynamics, and Light and Darkness. Alborg Magic School taught Alchemy, Elements, and Thermodynamics.
However, because they were all aimed at apprentices, each school had their own schools that focused on magic.
"Happiness, then pain." Lucien answered with certainty, "Next, I have to buy a storage bag. Otherwise, it'll be troublesome to carry so many books, and it'll be the same every time I carry a suitcase."
"Of course, Wasim's Alchemy Shop has a century-old reputation …" Lazar replied.
…
"Common storage bag, level three standard magic item. Enchanted with the third-circle spell 'Shrink'. It can shrink and store items in a fixed ratio of 16: 1, reduce weight by 80%, and conceal magic waves. It costs 400 arcana points."
Holding the black storage bag in his hand, Lucien felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife. He felt that his life had turned gray. It cost him three high-quality Wave Stones, fifty-eight Quintal, and six arcana points, turning him from a millionaire to a commoner in an instant. Also, the storage bag, which was only the size of a palm, had already consumed more than half of its space after storing magic notes, books, and magic materials.
Seeing Lucien's twitching face, Lazar comforted him with a smile, "Don't be sad, Lucien. If it's not a standard magic item, you won't be able to buy it even with a thousand arcana points! Ever since the master alchemists improved the craftsmanship and materials, the price of some commonly used magic items has been greatly reduced. Also, the storage bag is a must, so it's worth it. "
"Hey, Lucien, I didn't expect that you would have so many high-quality Wave Stones. If I need them in the future, I'll buy them from you. "
"Alright, alright, after Common Arcana comes out in a week, your arcana points will increase a lot. You don't know how many arcanists will want to improve their seriously flawed but groundbreaking spells."
"Lazar, your clothes are also standard?" asked Lucien, a bit confused.
Lazar answered seriously, "I mean the style of my magic robe … So, where are we going next?"
Hearing this topic, Lucien was a bit sober, "Library, Basic Arcana Library!"
I need to make up for my loss! Let the vast amount of books comfort my soul!
…
"What?! I can't read it in advance?! "
Even Lucien, who had always been calm, couldn't help but raise his voice.
Of course, it also had something to do with the fact that Lucien did not feel oppressed in the headquarter of the Congress of Magic. His personality, which was suppressed by life in the past, had gradually surfaced, and he was no longer as calm and cold as before.
Seeing Lucien's reaction, the short old man in charge of the library chuckled, "Young man, you're too inexperienced in life. As early as a few decades after this library was built, there were already sorcerers who memorized the contents of the books in the library with the help of their improved soul and spiritual power. Later, they even created all kinds of recording magic circles that were hard to detect, and they crazily recorded the books here. "
"But knowledge equals power and wealth. How can we let them get it for free?"
The old man's white hair was mixed with black strands, and his red pupils were a bit cloudy. Although he looked a bit old, in fact, he looked very energetic and elegant. There were no wrinkles on his face. At first glance, Lucien could tell that he was a handsome young man in his middle age. However, he was too short, half a head shorter than Lucien. Wearing a bright red ancient magic robe, the corners of the robe were dragging on the ground.
However, in Lucien's eyes, the old man looked very wretched, as if his soul was struck by lightning. If you don't let me read it, how can I record it in the Library of the Soul? Why didn't you wait for me to come before making such a stupid attempt?!
"But, if I can't read it in advance, how can I know what I want to learn?" Lucien tried to make a last-ditch effort.
The old man shook his index finger, "Young man, your excuse is the same as those idiots back then." Then he patted the magic circle on the counter, and a cloud of green smoke rose. The upper half of the smoke turned into a burly man with a bare chest and a black bonnet on his head, "This is Alex, the manager of the Basic Arcana Library. Tell me what you need, and he'll immediately tell you which books you can borrow, where they are, and what they are about. He's a special alchemical life made from a Fire Deity hidden in a lamp and some soul fragments. He's good at memorizing. "
"Welcome, Alex is at your service." The manager of the Djinn was much more polite than the old man.
Lucien tried to hold back his sadness and asked calmly, "How much does it cost to rent a book?"
"This library is only open to the sorcerers in the Congress. A book can be rented for seven days, and it costs ten Nars." The manager of the Djinn answered with a smile.
"So expensive?!" Lucien felt like he was being robbed. A thick book in Aalto only cost one or two Nars, but a book in this library cost ten Nars!
The old man shook his head, "It's so sad. Young people nowadays don't know how precious knowledge is! In the old days, if you wanted to read new books, you had to exchange your own books or pay a high price, at least dozens of Quintal worth of magic materials … "
Lucien rubbed his temples and asked, "Is there any other rule except that I have to pay ten Nars per book?" Lazar's voice was getting louder and louder, but Lucien knew that Lazar would not stop nagging.
"If you pay two arcana points directly, you can borrow forty books in a month, and each book can be rented for seven days. Four arcana points for eighty books, and so on, "Alex said. "But in this case, you can't use Quintal or other items as a substitute. You'll only charge arcana points."
Obviously, Alex was trying to encourage the sorcerers to use arcana points.
Although Lucien wanted to exchange the remaining three high-quality Wave Stones, considering the cost of his experiment materials, he held back his urge. He took out his magic badge and handed it to the old man, "Forty Wave Stones for a month."
The short old man crossed out two arcana points with a magic circle and handed the badge back to Lucien. The old man looked a bit serious, "If you want to learn magic, don't be stingy with books and experiment materials. As long as you have enough magic items, you'll be fine. You can ask Alex if you want to rent any books. "
"Mr. Alex, what are the most advanced papers about the soul and the human body?" asked Lucien. He always wanted to know more about the research in this field.
Arikos thought about the meaning of the frontier representative and answered after a few seconds.
"Some Inferences about the Soul as the Carrier of Consciousness, by Grand Arcanist Vicente Miranda;
"Discussion on the Elements and Special Electromagnetic Waves that Constitute the Soul, by Grand Arcanist Vicente Miranda;
…
"Analysis of the Principles of Limb Regeneration and the Source of the Great Knight's Recovery Ability from the Memory of Cells, by Felipe, level four arcanist."
Lucien was a bit surprised, "Felipe?"
Lucien was surprised that the paper had already reached the level of cellular memory.
However, on second thought, the ancient sorcerers had developed by imitating magic creatures, and they had accumulated a lot of knowledge about the body structure. Also, the regeneration of broken limbs was real, and some magic creatures had strong recovery abilities. It was normal for necromancy to make similar discoveries after Grand Arcanist Vicente Miranda led Necromancy into the field of cells.
This was the world where magic and divinity surpassed the Earth.
"Yes, Mr. Felipe shocked the whole Congress with this paper and became a level four arcanist and a sorcerer under the guidance of the Hand of Paleness. He's even more talented than Mr. Ulysses," said Lazar, half in awe and half in awe.
Lucien nodded. When he first met Felipe, he always thought that Felipe was too arrogant and overconfident, but now it seemed that Felipe was the one who had the right to be so confident.
After a while, Lucien borrowed two journals of Arcana and one of Magic, as well as three books on soul, "Mr. Arikos, please help me find the papers that measure the detailed properties of the elements. I need all the elements that have been discovered so far. If there are any papers that try to describe them as a whole, please also find the papers that try to find the connections between them. "
"Lucien, why do you want to borrow these papers?" Lazar asked curiously. According to Lucien, Lucien's paper in the field of soul was meant to broaden one's horizons and make up for the shortcomings, but the paper on elements described by Lucien was a bit unusual. Lucien should use the paper on redefining elements to lay a solid foundation for his research.
Lucien turned around and looked at Lazar, as if he knew what Lazar was thinking, "I'll borrow the basic papers later. But as a sorcerer who specializes in the field of elements, if I don't even know what elements there are and what properties they have, I'll be a failure. "
Also, it was related to the preparation of his magic experiments.
This explanation was very reasonable, and Lazar didn't say anything more. He began to think about which magic book he should borrow to study. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
