Raventi's roar echoed in the hall like thunder, and the arcanists' ears were buzzing. Mixed with the shock of witnessing the verification of the periodic table of elements, Raventi had a mixed feeling of anticipation and fear. Even Gaston, Overee, LockLynn, and Lydia, who were not far away from Raventi in terms of status, could not keep their usual calmness. They were rather excited and excited.
The confirmation of the periodic table showed that the discovery of new elements in the field of elemental magic was no longer random and blind. It was described as a blind cat bumping into a dead mouse. It was something that could be guided by theories, followed by rules, and had a direction to move forward!
"Explore the world, summarize the rules from the phenomena, and then infer other phenomena with the rules." Nothing in the field of Element was more in line with the spirit of arcana than this!
They did not respond to Raventi's question for a while, but at this moment, an excited and anxious male voice came from the corner of the hall.
"Mr. Lucien Evans X …"
"Mr. Lucien Evans X is here!"
The voice became louder and louder, as if it was out of control, or it was afraid that no one could hear it.
"What?" Raventi and most of the arcanists did not expect such an answer. Lucien Evans X was in the hall?!
Gaston and Larry realized that Lucien Evans, the man who shared the same name as K, was Mr. X! His arcana level was only one, and his name matched perfectly with the title of the paper!
To think that such a great discovery had been made by a level-one arcanist and a first-circle sorcerer!
On the half-high metal platform, Leandro, who was standing next to Raventi, felt dizzy. His face was as dry as an orange peel that had been soaked in water for ten days. His mind was in a mess, and he could not find a thread.
Everyone looked at him, and it was Lazar who raised his hand in the corner. He was wearing his usual black double-breasted suit, and he looked very excited. After receiving Lucien's letter, Lazar took the opportunity to read Lucien's paper on the periodic table, and he was deeply impressed by the content.
Therefore, during Raventi's experiment just now, every data or measurement of every property was like a stormy sea crashing into his soul.
Lucien's speculation based on the periodic table was so accurate that it was more worthy of the title of prophecy than the vague prophecies of the school of Astrology. It was as if he had seen the new element with his own eyes!
This was something so amazing that even the sorcerers could not believe it. Lazar's head was swollen, and he felt dizzy. It was not until he heard Raventi's roar that he realized that the paper was written by his friend Lucien Evans! He was the first one who knew the letter X behind Lucien's name!
Great joy and glory hit Lazar. Although he was worried that he would be scolded by Raventi, the bad-tempered archmage, he still raised his hand and shouted without hesitation.
Lucien, who was standing next to Lazar, closed his eyes tightly after the atomic weight of the new element was determined. Lucien's risk had finally paid off!
Lucien's heart was filled with joy, excitement, and fear. If the new element was a strange isotope, then Lucien did not know when his paper would be taken seriously. Once the arcanists labeled him as an arrogant and ignorant person, his next paper would be discriminated against. Lucien could only rely on his Holm Crown Ring to receive the protection of the Will of Elements.
Of course, Lucien was much more confident about this than his premonition of failure. After analyzing the elements in this world, Lucien could roughly tell that even if there were isotopes, the stable isotopes would not affect the arrangement of the elements in the periodic table.
However, no matter what, ever since he corrected the atomic weight of the elements and repeatedly concluded that the elements in this world had the periodic law, he had been feeling uneasy due to the lack of strong evidence. Raventi's experiment shocked himself and the other arcanists, but it also calmed Lucien down at the same time.
It was easy to deduce other phenomena based on the regular table, but before the phenomenon was confirmed, how many people could stick to their own conclusions?
Raventi, Timothy, and the other arcanists saw a young man standing next to the excited Lazar. The young man was wearing a black bow tie and a double-breasted suit of the same color. He looked both formal and handsome, and his black eyes were deep and dark.
"You're Lucien Evans X?" Raventi was a bit surprised because Lucien Evans X was too young.
Except for Gaston, Larry, and some other sorcerers who were mentally prepared, the rest of the arcanists could not believe that Lucien was so young. They thought that Lucien was just a low-rank arcanist who had been studying elements for years and accidentally discovered the periodic table. However, it seemed that this was not the case. This was a real young man!
Lucien calmed down when he heard Raventi's roar. Holding back his excitement, he smiled and said, "Yes, Your Excellency Raventi."
It was not the tradition of the Congress of Magic to use the title of "Your Excellency" on a ninth-circle sorcerer, but Raventi was the vice president of the Will of Elements.
Raventi narrowed his eyes and cast a magic spell to read the record on Lucien's arcana badge. Then he nodded and said to Lucien, "Come here, Evans. I think you'll be the one to give your paper at the end of the meeting. I believe that every arcanist here can understand the great significance of this paper. I don't need to say anything more. This Annual Meeting of Elements and Alchemy will be recorded in the history of magic because of you and your research results! "
"No, Mr. Raventi." Gaston stood up and smiled in front of everyone's confused eyes, "I still need to explain the significance of the periodic table. I was too negligent in reviewing the paper, so I'd like to submit a joint application to the committee with Mr. Overee. We want to re-evaluate this paper and give Evans the honor, praise, credits, and arcana points that he deserves! "
Overee also stood up and nodded to show his agreement.
If the reviewed paper was not satisfied with the review result, they could complain to the Arcana Review Board. As long as two of the board members agreed and submitted a joint application, the paper could be re-evaluated.
After Gaston and Overee witnessed the great shock brought by the periodic table with their own eyes, they decided to submit the application on their own.
On one hand, they were trying to cover up for their student's mistakes. On the other hand, they also had enemies who were not convinced by their reputation and wanted to kick them out of the Arcana Review Board. These enemies would definitely not let go of the fact that Lucien only gave one arcana credit and one arcana point for a paper that was as good as the crown in the field of elements.
Since Lucien could not hide it from them, he might as well apply for a re-evaluation to show that he was just and humble.
Lucien took a deep breath and walked through the aisle between the arcanists' seats.
Lucien didn't know who started it, but the arcanists all stood up from their seats and saluted to Lucien.
"I'm sorry that I didn't see the value of this paper in the first place." Larry put his hand on his left chest and bowed sincerely.
On the other side, Timothy pushed his glasses slightly and said, "Evans, if you had put the uncorrected atomic weights at the end of the paper, maybe I would have gone to find you that night. Anyway, this is a lesson that I'll remember. In the future, your paper will definitely become a popular story in the magic world, and Larry and I will be the clowns that set off your great image. "
Timothy's humor was very straightforward, which was similar to his style of studying explosion magic. However, it was the opposite of his elegant and gentle appearance.
"At least you two helped my paper pass the review." Lucien did not have a bad impression of them.
After a few steps, when he passed by Ulysses, Lucien pinched his nose and said bitterly, "No matter what doubts other people have, I completely believe in your periodic table, Evans. In fact, I was very close to the result, but I gave up because I couldn't explain the atomic weights of those elements. Making bold assumptions and carefully verifying them is harder than I thought. Authority and experience have shackled me. "
With the evidence of the discovery of new elements, Ulysses began to suspect that the atomic weights of those elements were wrong and could not be corrected because of the limitation of the measurement method.
Lucien smiled and nodded, "Mr. Ulysses, if it weren't for your paper, I wouldn't have made such bold assumptions when I was learning about the nature of elements."
At this time, an arcanist who heard the argument between Lucien and Leandro and didn't like Leandro smiled, "Mr. Evans, except for Mr. Raventi, you're the most qualified arcanist to attend the annual meeting!"
Hearing this, Leandro, who was sitting on the metal platform, almost fainted.
"Mr. Evans, welcome to the Annual Meeting of Elements and Alchemy."
"Mr. Evans, I'm looking forward to your speech."
These arcanists were not familiar with Lucien, but under the shock of the experiment and the paper, they all greeted and praised Lucien in a way that was rarely seen before.
Lucien walked to the metal platform and slightly bowed to Raventi respectfully. Then he walked to the back of the platform.
"Mr. Evans, I have a question," said Leandro. Before Lucien's speech, Leandro asked, "The discovery of this new element is too much of a coincidence. Did you discover it long ago, and then combined with the properties of the new element, you came up with this periodic table? Only in this way can your 'guess' be so accurate. But in this case, the new element can't be verified, because the periodic table is based on the new element. "
Many arcanists had the same question.
Lucien did not answer them directly. Instead, he activated the magic circle and pointed at the elements in the periodic table, "Let's pretend that the new element doesn't exist first, and then we'll take a closer look at the properties of the new elements and conclude their patterns and changes … That's how my speculation came to be. Do you think it's logical? Also, the headquarters has a record of the magic minerals I bought. You can check if there's any new element in them. "
The arcanists fell into deep thought. Then, Lucien pointed at the other empty seats and said, "Also, we can also make predictions about the new elements. Their atomic weights may be different because of the measurement method, but their properties will be as I predicted."
"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm sure that you've collected a lot of strange minerals. Why don't you try to find the new element using the method I predicted? I'm waiting for your verification. "
Lucien's confidence and determination influenced most of the arcanists. Some of them even started to think about their own collections.
When they were about to suggest that the meeting should be adjourned, Lucien continued.
"In fact, even if I haven't discovered any new elements for the time being, even if there are still some details in my periodic table, ladies and gentlemen, can you deny such a periodic pattern?"
If it weren't for the fact that the arcanists were shocked by the experiment, they would never believe it. However, when they looked at the table that seemed to contain endless mysteries, they had to admit that the periodicity of the periodic table was undeniable.
Lucien raised his head slightly and looked around the hall. He said in a serious tone,
He said in a serious tone, "The periodicity of the elements will be a new beginning for the development of elemental magic. However, I don't think the most important thing is to find and discover new elements based on the periodic table, but to calm us down and think about why the elements have a periodic table.
"I've been wondering why the elements have a periodic table ever since I came up with the table."
The arcanists in the field of element who were still immersed in the great discovery of the periodicity of the periodic table became extremely quiet. The senior-rank arcanists such as Raventi and Gaston all looked at Lucien in shock. Lucien's question and his confident attitude reminded them of Mr. Douglas, the president of the Congress of Magic!
