Since Sun's Corona had only unlocked the first layer of its seal, the power of the World of Souls that it could sense had to be strong enough and close enough. It meant that Lucien was surrounded by a terrifying undead creature, the kind that could kill a low-rank sorcerer with one strike!
However, Lucien sensed that there was nothing wrong with the whole study, and no matter how he looked at it, he was the only one in the study.
It was a warm winter afternoon, and the sun was shining on Lucien's body. However, Lucien did not feel warm at all. Instead, he felt that his hair was standing on end.
Holding back his fear, Lucien picked up a card and carefully read the summary of the elements on it.
Sun's Corona was getting hotter and hotter. Looking at the cards in his hand, Lucien suddenly had a strange image in his mind: right next to his cheek, right next to his head, there was a transparent pale head, whose eyes were shining with a strange red light. The head was reading the cards together with Lucien, and in the mirror on the opposite side, there was only Lucien who was reading the cards.
"Did the Hand of Paleness send it to spy on me?"
"It seems that they haven't connected me with Professor yet, or they wouldn't just be spying on me …"
In his mind, Lucien read the cards one by one, just like all the diligent beginners, tirelessly memorizing, understanding, and grasping the properties of different elements. However, in his mind, he was thinking, "I have to write my arcana paper as soon as possible …"
The afternoon soon passed. Lucien put down the cards and walked out of the study. The heat of Sun's Corona had turned into a vague warmth, which meant that the powerful undead creature had stayed away from him, but had not really left.
"It's just spying on me." Lucien was a bit relieved. As long as he did not show any abnormalities and lived a normal life in the past week, there would be nothing suspicious about him. However, Lucien was not completely relieved. No one knew how long the Hand of Paleness could keep its patience, and if it did not find anything unusual, it would leave or use other means.
…
After dinner, Lucien went to the Magic Experiment Tower as usual.
As soon as he stepped into the tower, the warmth of Sun's Corona completely disappeared, and everything returned to normal.
"It seems that this magic tower is protected by a very strong magic circle, and the spectres that are spying on me do not dare to come in." Lucien was half surprised and half delighted. If he was spied on all the time, he would have a mental breakdown.
At this time, K walked in. When he saw Lucien, he said delightedly, "Lucien, I thought you weren't in the mood for magic experiments today. You're tougher than I thought. "
"I'm not someone who will give up on myself just because of a blow." Lucien smiled and walked side by side with K. "By the way, K, what's your paper on Element? Today, I was so shocked that I forgot to read Element, and I was so happy that my paper was cited by the grand arcanist that I forgot to read Element. "
K scratched his head a bit embarrassedly, "It's about the fact that in magic potions and alchemical reactions, elements always combine with a fixed number of other molecules. That's what Mr. Larry called the atomic price problem."
"That's a fundamental problem in elemental magic. No wonder Mr. Larry thinks highly of you. I'm going to read your paper later. It's perfect for my experiment on elements. "Lucien smiled and praised K.
K felt even more embarrassed. He smiled but did not say anything.
At this time, a few people passed by the stairs on the third floor and saw Lucien and K.
"Mr. K, Mr. Evans, good evening." It was an ordinary-looking young man with black hair and black eyes. There was a faint smile on his face.
K said in a low voice, "Good evening, Beate."
After replying politely, he didn't even look at Beate and his companions as he continued to walk up the stairs to the fourth floor.
Lucien nodded politely but indifferently. Without saying anything, he followed K up to the next floor.
"Mr. Evans, it seems that you haven't really reflected on your mistake." Seeing Lucien's reaction, Beate chuckled, "You're still holding a grudge against us."
K suddenly turned around and said angrily, "Beate, I know that Lucien's teaching style is against the school rules, but why don't you try to persuade him first? If he doesn't want to change, you can complain to him later. Are you really that narrow-minded? "
"Oh, I didn't know that an honest guy like Beate could get angry." Beate's companion, Benova, who was good at electromagnetism and astrology, said in an exaggerated way. Then his slim face became serious, "What Lucien did is against the school rules and traditions. We can't cover it up. Only when Mr. Evans is punished can he learn his lesson and remember it well. "
When Lucien was about to say something, Beate looked at K with a smile, "Breaking the school rules is not a big deal. The development of electromagnetic waves is the most important thing right now. K, if you still insist on the theory of spiritual power particles, that atoms are the foundation of the world, and that arcana concepts cannot be changed, I'm worried that your head will explode when you meditate one day. Haha, we're going to study the application of electromagnetic waves according to the experiment of the Lord of Storm. We won't disturb you any longer. "
Beate, who was usually a man of few words, was in high spirits, and his companions were also in the same mood.
Lucien was a bit angry when they turned around and walked away. At the same time, he asked in confusion, "K, why would my head explode when I meditate?"
As a guy who still lacked a lot of common knowledge about magic, Lucien could only ask K, who was standing beside him.
K was not angry at Beate's sarcasm. His deep voice echoed in the stairwell, "It's because of Mr. President's comments on meditation. Because there's no exact theoretical basis for it, it's not included in any books about arcana, so you don't know about it yet. He believed that the meditation environment was the manifestation of one's understanding of the nature of the world. What kind of concept and knowledge one has, what kind of meditation environment one has. "
Lucien nodded, but he did not say anything. It seemed that he was not the only one who felt this way. Mr. Douglas, who had laid the foundation of arcana, also felt the same way.
"Except for the more than ten meditation methods that are generally applicable, different meditation environments correspond to different meditation methods. If the meditation environment conflicts with the meditation methods, or if the meditation environment is not stable, there's a risk that the spiritual power will explode, which may damage the soul and brain structure, or even directly explode the head.
"Therefore, when a subversive theory comes out, if a sorcerer can't accept it and adjust his understanding according to it, then the meditation environment will not change. For a sorcerer or an intelligent creature, if they have already established their understanding of the world and magic, it's very difficult for them to change their understanding. Therefore, the majority of sorcerers can't accept the subversive theory. For example, this time on Arcana, Mr. President once again used several magic experiments to deny the theory that spiritual power is electromagnetic wave.
"However, if the theory is correct, and even the sorcerers themselves can't deny it, then their understanding of the world and magic will completely collapse. Their understanding of the world and magic will fall into extreme chaos, and their meditation environment will become very unstable. Some of them will be unable to make any progress, and some of them will be seriously injured or even die. Only some of the excellent sorcerers can rebuild their cognitive world and step onto the right path. "
"Also, the blow to their confidence can also affect the efficiency of their meditation."
The more Lucien listened, the more scared he was. No wonder Felipe was so excited when he saw the synthetic carbamide at the Feast of Death. Lucien thought that Felipe was just too proud to give up the Life Force Theory, but now he knew how dangerous it was! Fortunately, carbamide was not decisive. No one in this world or on Earth could completely deny the Life Force Theory. Also, the Church's reputation on the Cleansing List helped Lucien to escape from danger.
"According to the rumor, Felipe's research should be aimed at overthrowing the Life Force Theory, which is one of the foundations of the school of necromancy. No wonder he's one of the most outstanding sorcerers of this generation. It seems that Felipe wants to come up with a decisive result before Professor does. Whether it's overthrown by the enemy or by one of his own, it'll be the difference between heaven and hell for the sorcerers of the Hand of Paleness. "
Lucien guessed based on what he knew, "The Hand of Paleness must pay a lot of attention to Professor. No wonder they sent such a powerful specter to spy on me."
Not noticing Lucien's strange look, K continued, "But currently, all the subversive theories are still controversial, and they can't completely destroy the sorcerers' cognitive world. The other groundbreaking magic research is also a supplement to the current arcana system, so the performance in this respect is not obvious."
"However, in the past few big debates, such as the electromagnetic induction and the existence of gravity, many senior-rank and middle-rank sorcerers died because they couldn't accept the fact that their inherent ideas were destroyed. Therefore, many sorcerers failed to reach the level that they should have. It's said that after light was proved to be electromagnetic waves, several pastors in the Kingdom of Holm were swallowed by the holy light in their bodies when they were praying. These things indirectly prove that Mr. President's theory on meditation is correct. "
"Of course, there are also a lot of powerful sorcerers who can accept and learn new knowledge and grow up."
"Every great development of arcana and magic is accompanied by such tragicomedies, as well as magnificent and tragic debates."
Lucien nodded subconsciously, with a serious look on his face. In a world where one's cognitive world could create a meditation environment, such a situation was normal. The reason why Lucien could easily change his meditation environment was probably because the changed meditation environment was his fundamental understanding. He just needed to verify whether it was correct or not.
"Therefore, when the sorcerers with ancient heritage came to the Congress, the most important thing for them was to change their ideas and accept arcana. By teaching apprentices, the two sorcerers were encouraged to grow up at the same time. But even so, there are still a lot of sorcerers with ancient heritages who can't change their understanding. Only a few sorcerers like you can accept arcana and test it with their own hands. "K praised Lucien," It's because you're born with the mind of an arcanist. "
…
In the following month, Lucien lived an orderly life under the surveillance of the specter and completed the verification of the nature of elements. However, instead of arranging the element cards in his library, he completed the verification in the magic lab and the Library of the Soul.
Then, Lucien started to write his paper. The title was:
The Periodic Relationship between the Nature of Elements and the Atomic Weight and the Prediction of Some New Elements. (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.)
