Thank you, Vampire Night, for your tip. Congratulations on becoming the twelfth chief of this book.
…
Morris leaned back subconsciously, as he was worried that Raventi's saliva would wash his face. He smiled a bit embarrassedly, "Calm down, Raventi. That's not what I meant. What I'm trying to say is that the discovery of the periodic law of elements reflects Evans's thinking and inspiration, but it doesn't mean that his arcana level is enough for him to stand at the top of the field of elemental sorcerers, which is not in line with Holm Crown prize, the highest honor in elemental sorcerers. "
If Morris was not born in the royal family of Holm and was an elemental sorcerer, which made him the most suitable candidate to be the president of Holm Royal Magic Academy, the other president of the Will of Elements would be Raventi. After all, Raventi's arcana level was one level higher than Morris'.
As a level nine arcanist, a ninth-circle sorcerer, and an authoritative figure in the field of Element, Raventi could have been a member of the Highest Council a long time ago if he was not bad-tempered and did not have the overwhelming power like the Lord of Storm. That was why Morris was not confident when facing Raventi.
Regardless of whether they supported Morris' opinion or not, seeing that he was scared by Raventi's crazy roar, the other senior-rank sorcerers all put on a knowing smile. They had also enjoyed the treatment of washing their faces with saliva and not being able to get angry.
As long as Raventi believed in something or agreed with a certain arcana knowledge, he would not care whether the person in front of him was good or bad or not. It was said that Raventi once roared at the Lord of Storm face to face for a proof of number theory. Of course, Raventi was not as good as the Lord of Storm, and the Lord of Storm pointed out the loophole in his proof.
"Morris, don't be a miser! The purpose of Holm Crown prize is to honor the sorcerers who have made groundbreaking contributions in the field of Element and who can leave their footprints in the history of Element. Tell me, is the periodic table of elements a groundbreaking achievement in the field of Element? Can Evans leave his footprints in the history of Element? Did Ms. Meredith win the prize when her arcana level was not high enough to stand at the top of the field of Element? "Raventi did not care about Morris's reaction.
Being exposed by Raventi as the reason why he was so stingy, Morris did not know how to defend himself. Covering his face with his hands, he said, "Yes, yes, yes, yes, I'm sorry, but I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. But the first twenty-five Holm Crown prize winners all opened up new fields or discovered new methods or theorems, and the periodic table seems to be just a summary of the rules. "
His heart still ached for the ring, but he refused to admit defeat.
Before Raventi continued to roar, Gaston coughed and said, "President Morris, I'm sure you know the great significance of the periodic table of elements. As for whether or not it was a regular conclusion, let's take a look at the past winners: Ms. Meredith won the award for discovering new elements by introducing electrolysis, and President Donald, who was not in Allyn at the moment, won the award for discovering new elements by introducing spectral analysis. As you said, the reason why they won the award was not because they found new elements, but because they found new methods. The new elements were just incidental to the new methods. "
"Let's take a look at the periodic table of elements. According to the periodic table of elements, we also found two new elements. So what's wrong with awarding Holm Crown prize to Evans, who discovered the periodic table of elements? His arcana level is the same as Ms. Meredith's when she won the award. "
Pah, the critical moment hit the flaw in Morris' words. He was instantly speechless and could only look around at his allies.
His allies represented by Florencia, a member of the Affair Committee, looked at Raventi's face that was slightly red because of the roar and shook their heads firmly, rejecting Morris' request for help.
Morris raised his right hand and made a gesture, "Alright, I agree to awarding Evans Holm Crown prize. Any objections?"
Raventi looked around, and all the senior members of the Will of Elements who had the right to vote put their hands down quietly. Several senior members of Holm Royal Magic Academy moved a bit, but still did not dare to raise their hands.
"I hereby announce that the Will of Elements and Holm Royal Magic Academy have unanimously decided to award Mr. Evans Holm Crown prize," said Morris in a serious tone. Then his face became a bit twisted, "Now, we should discuss the unique name of the Holm Crown ring and the magic that needs to be constant. It's best if it's similar to Evans's periodic table of elements. As for the design, I'll leave it to Florencia, who likes designing jewelry. "
Florencia, the mature and glamorous blonde beauty, glanced at Morris. "Although I do like designing jewelry very much, and I'm very willing to accept this task, my dear teacher, are you sure you don't want to save the design cost?"
Florencia was a level six arcanist, but she was very talented in magic. She was already an eighth-circle sorcerer, and she was good at Element, Summoning, Electromagnetism, and Force Field. It was said that she had also made great achievements in Curse Magic, and she was less than seventy years old. She was Morris's disciple after he became a ninth-circle archmage, and she became a senior-rank sorcerer within thirty years.
Morris put on a serious face and said, "As the president of the Will of Elements and the president of Holm Royal Magic Academy, I can't squander the money of the organization like you do."
"You're wrong, teacher. You're the president of the Will of Elements and the president of Holm Royal Magic Academy." Florencia covered her mouth and giggled.
Morris's facial muscles twitched a bit, "That's not the point. The point is, what word should we use as the name of Evans's ring? "
The name of the Holm Crown ring was always a word, and it would never be repeated.
"The periodic table of elements … Well, period?" Florencia was very interested in the name of the ring.
Gaston scratched his gray hair and looked at Florencia with his weird, yellow eyes. "The concept of cycle is easily confused with the cycle in the schools of force field, electromagnetism, Light-darkness, Astrology, and Mathematics. It's not unique enough."
"How about 'Foresight'?" While combing her black hair over her shoulder, LockLynn, a member of Arcana Review Board, asked with her light blue eyes. As a woman, she was also interested in the name of the ring.
Lydia, another female member of Arcana Review Board, was very beautiful. She seemed to have the bloodline of the succubus. She rolled her crystal red eyes and smiled, "Ronnie, your ring should be called 'Arcana Scepter' or 'Silver Moon Medal'. I think it should be named 'Law', which symbolizes the hidden rules between the elements."
"No, it doesn't reflect the features of the field of elements." Florencia disagreed without any hesitation.
Then, the five or six ladies started to argue. They kept suggesting names, but they were all rejected by the others. Morris, Gaston, Overee, and the other men all frowned, but they did not want to interrupt the discussion. Therefore, they all looked at Raventi, hoping that he could make the final decision. If only Evans had found a new element when he discovered the periodic table of elements, he could have named it after that new element, like Woods named his new element Gore.
Raventi half closed his eyes, as if he was sleeping. Although he was short-tempered, he never interfered in the ladies' discussion.
At this time, Morris suddenly put on a serious look and knocked on the table, "Just now, Her Excellency Hathaway told me that the Holm Crown ring should be named after 'Element', because it contains all the elements and the rules between them."
Florencia wanted to say something, but she held her tongue. Her Excellency Hathaway was indeed a lady.
The other senior-rank arcanists all fell silent. It was indeed unique to use this word to name a ring, and it reflected the features of the field of elements. However, it was still a bit heavy. Even when Constantine, the grand arcanist who redefined the four basic elements, and Hathaway, the grand arcanist who defined and created the modern elemental magic, were awarded with Holm Crown prize, their rings were not named "Element". One of them was named "Cornerstone", and the other was named "Pioneer".
However, it was the grand arcanist's suggestion, and it was very appropriate, so Raventi said first, "Let's use elements. As for the magic effect and level seven spell, Morris, you can decide for yourself when you're making it." He could not let the ladies talk about it anymore.
Morris was not only an archmage in the field of elements, but also an archmage in the field of alchemy.
"One more thing. Evans is now a level four arcanist. Generally speaking, he's already a middle-rank arcanist. I'm worried that someone will use this as an excuse to assign tasks to him through the Affair Committee. " Florencia put on a gentle smile, "Although they might not do that for us, we can't leave any loopholes in our work."
Gaston clasped his hands and stayed silent for a while. Then he said, "Since Lucien is now a middle-rank arcanist, we can't assign him any combat or adventure tasks. Florencia, arrange a simple research mission for Evans and put an end to other people's delusions. Well, the premise is that he's willing to join us. "
"I'll find a suitable one." Florencia nodded and smiled. "By the way, do any of you want to take Evans as your student?"
Most of the arcanists on the scene shook their heads without any hesitation, because Lucien Evans was about to win Holm Crown prize, but they did not!
If one of their students won Holm Crown prize, it would be something to be proud of. However, if they accepted a Holm Crown prize winner as their student, it would be a test of their self-esteem. Therefore, they decided to turn down the offer.
Since the establishment of Holm Crown prize, twenty-five rings had been given out. Six of them were given to the grand arcanists and legendary sorcerers in the Highest Council, who had made great contributions to the field of Element and were still alive. Eight of the nineteen rings had died in the past two hundred and seventy years due to various reasons.
Of the other eleven members, one was still lingering before the senior-rank, two senior-ranks did not make any great achievements later, and one preferred quiet research and exploration, refusing to join any organization. The other seven members, except for Donald who joined the Highest Council later and Morris who was the chairman of the branch, all became members of the Arcana Review Board. They were Raventi, Gaston and the other four on the spot.
Therefore, those who won Holm Crown prize might not be able to become members of the Arcana Review Board, but those who could become members of the Arcana Review Board in the name of Element must have a Holm Crown ring.
Gaston rubbed the bright blue diamond ring on his left hand and thought for a while, "Let's observe a bit more. I appreciate Evans' bold assumption, careful thinking, and firm determination in his discovery of the periodic table of elements. But he's still young, and he's just started on the path of arcana and magic. He hasn't built a solid foundation yet, especially in the field of mathematics. Also, he hasn't shown which school of magic he's more talented in. So let's observe him for a while. We can't wait until he becomes our student before we find out that we can't provide him with relevant arcana guidance. "
They were mainly worried about Lucien's arcana potential.
"I agree with Gaston. Florencia, please pay attention when you arrange the research tasks." Raventi nodded. "I'll keep an eye on him too."
"Now that we've reached a consensus, let's congratulate the youngest winner of Holm Crown prize in history. Oh, he's not even twenty-one yet!" Morris clapped and stood up, "I have to stay up all night making rings. Poor thing, the warehouses of the Will of Elements and the Royal Magic Academy of Holm are going to be emptied."
In fact, Lucien was not even nineteen yet.
…
Because of Lucien's appearance, the date of the Elemental Meeting was greatly extended. Five days later, on Saturday evening, Raventi announced the end of the meeting.
However, Raventi did not ask them to leave. Instead, he raised his voice and said, "I believe that what happened in this Annual Meeting of Elements and Alchemy has left a deep impression on all of you. However, the discovery of the periodic law of elements will definitely be remembered in the history of magic. Therefore, after discussing with the Royal Magic Academy of Holm, the Will of Elements has decided to award Mr. Lucien Evans with Holm Crown prize in honor of his groundbreaking contribution in the field of Element. Mr. Evans, please come to the stage. "
Larry, Timothy, and the rest of the arcanists looked at Lucien in surprise. They had expected that Lucien would win Holm Crown prize, but they did not expect that it would come so fast and so directly.
After Lucien stood up, the arcanists applauded for him. They were both happy for Lucien and had mixed feelings. The applause was not crazy but warm.
Seeing his friend walking to the stage gracefully in the applause, Lazar felt that the past two months were like a dream. The Lucien who had just started to learn arcana and knew nothing about the Congress of Magic kept appearing in his mind.
On the stage, Raventi looked at the stairs and said, "Mr. Morris Hoffenberg, president of the Will of Elements and president of the Royal Magic Academy of Holm, is going to present the prize to Evans."
The arcanists did not expect that the ceremony would be so grand that even Mr. Morris was here. They all looked at the stage.
Morris walked in with the other leaders of the Will of Elements and the Royal Magic Academy of Holm. Then, he walked to the stage alone and stood next to Lucien. He smiled and said, "Congratulations, Evans. But before we present you with Holm Crown prize, can you tell us what you think right now? "
The applause became even louder. Looking at the arcanists in the hall, Lucien lowered his head and smiled. Then, he said "seriously",
Then, he said seriously, "The reason why I can see further is that I'm standing on the shoulder of a giant." If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
