— I'll make up for what I owe today, and I'll add more tomorrow at the end of the month.
…
Because the Highest Council attached great importance to the cooperative research project, and because it mainly involved elements and necromancy, all the arcanists who were good at research in Allyn had been summoned here, including the authoritative arcanists such as Raventi, Gaston, LockLynn, and Pesor from the Arcana Review Board, as well as most of the middle-rank arcanists who were qualified to help them review the paper, were sent here.
Therefore, a temporary place was set up in the manor of Sariva so that the arcanists who participated in this project could submit their research results as soon as possible.
As soon as Lucien walked out of the room full of magic circles, he saw Woods from Common Arcana standing at the other end of the corridor, "Good afternoon, Mr. Woods. I didn't expect to see you here. I remember that you're good at Force Field and Astrology."
"Good afternoon, Evans," said Woods. "But I'm also the deputy chief editor of Common Arcana now, so of course I have to come here and see which arcanists' research results can be published in our journal. All the arcanists in the school of Element and the school of Necromancy have gathered here. Unlike Arcana and Magic, Common Arcana can't just sit around and wait for other arcanists to submit their papers. We have to come. "
Woods nodded with a smile. Because of the periodic table two weeks ago, he had been promoted from an arcanist reviewer to an associate editor of Common Arcana Monthly. Also, the arcana credits for the papers on the discovery of new elements were always high, and the periodic table of elements was proved to be correct. Woods had been stuck at level four for a long time, and now he had a chance to make a breakthrough within a year.
After that, Woods looked at Lucien with concern, "After I came here, I heard from some familiar arcanists that you were attacked, Evans. So I went to visit you in your room, and the maid told me that you were here. Well, I'm relieved to see that you're not in a bad condition. "
Lucien's face was still pale, but his body had almost recovered. The only thing that needed to be fixed was his transformation robe.
"Thank you for your concern, Mr. Woods. I was just affected by the attack. The attacker was mainly targeting you, Mr. Felipe, and did not cause any substantial damage to me. " Basically, the injury is caused by the backfire of using the ring, Element. "Lucien signaled Woods to walk as he explained.
After Raventi and Gaston brought him back to the manor, Larry, Timothy, Ulysses, and other people he knew had come to visit him. However, the news was still blocked, and even Iristine, Arcelion, and the other elves did not know about it, so Lazar and his other friends did not come to visit him.
Woods slightly frowned, "Although you'll recover fast, Evans, in fact, the damage to your soul and your body. It'll shorten your life span. But Evans, it's not a big problem for you to reach senior rank before the age of fifty. You'd better not use it in the future. "
Woods and Lucien chatted as they walked to the room where Lucien was resting. When they arrived at the door, Woods suddenly thought of something and smiled, "That's the place where you submit your paper. Did you write another paper, Evans?"
"Yes, it's the result of this week's arcana research. It's about the three alchemical substances that can increase the yield of crops and how to make them on a large scale." Lucien pushed the door open with a smile, as if he was talking about a very common paper.
Woods looked at Lucien in surprise and amusement, "I've read the brief of your project in the past few days. It seems like you've reached a bottleneck. But I just turned around and heard that you, Evans, have succeeded. I can't believe it."
"I was inspired by the research results of the arcanists in the brief. Also, I analyzed the composition of the fertilizer and manure after the plants were burned, so I changed to three alchemical substances that can be dissolved in water." Lucien asked the maid who was guarding the door to pour a cup of black tea for Woods.
Woods took a sip of the black tea and chuckled, "So that's how it is. If the three alchemical substances can really be mass produced and popularized, the yield of crops will be greatly improved. Many sorcerers and Knight will be richer, and Evans, your paper will also be popularized. "
As a man from a sorcerer's family, Woods grew up in Allyn. He had never experienced the hardships of life, nor did he have the mind to do business. Also, as a middle-rank arcanist, he was in a completely different class from the farmers and the poor. He might care about the poor, but it was only an occasional emotion. Therefore, he did not think that Lucien's paper was of any great significance. The main reason why this project was valued by the Congress of Magic was that the members of the Highest Council wanted to study the divine spells of nature.
"I hope so." Lucien took a sip of the black tea and answered without showing off.
Woods put down the cup and said to Lucien seriously with a smile, "I wonder, Evans, if you can submit your paper to Common Arcana to be published?" Although only half of the month had passed, if Lucien could publish one of the main results of the project in advance, the number of citations on the next issue of Common Arcana would be greatly increased.
Lucien smiled, "I've said that if there's a chance, I'll continue to submit my paper to you, Mr. Woods, and you're the first one who came to me. Well, as long as my paper can pass the review of the committee members, I'm willing to publish it on Common Arcana. "
"On behalf of Common Arcana, I'd like to express my gratitude to you, Evans. By the way, can you show me the content of your paper? I want to know where it is on the list of the journal. " Woods asked. After all, Lucien's paper had just been submitted, and such a request would be suspicious.
Lucien did not refuse. He took out a spare file from his magic pouch and handed it to Woods, "It's okay. When I submitted it to Arcana Review Board, I also submitted a brief report of the project for discussion. You'll see it tomorrow."
Woods took over the paper and started reading it carefully. Although Lucien Evans was just a newcomer to the field of arcana a few months ago, his only two papers were highly valued, especially the second one, which set off a storm in the field of Element. Therefore, Woods could not be careless about Lucien's paper.
"Plants seem to only be able to absorb the elements that can be dissolved in water?" Since the author of the paper was right in front of him, Woods discussed with Lucien while reading the paper.
Lucien did not divert his thoughts, but answered matter-of-factly, "Based on the experiment result, it's true."
Woods took a sip of the black tea and slowly turned to the next page. He continued his discussion with Lucien, and he appreciated Lucien's design of the controlled experiment very much.
As they chatted, Woods reached the last part of the paper: Discussion on the large-scale preparation of several alchemical substances.
After reading the first experiment about treating phosphate ores with sulfuric acid, Woods took a sip of the black tea and was about to discuss the design of large-scale magic circles with Lucien. However, at this time, he suddenly saw the title of this page: Experiment and Discussion on the Artificial Synthesis of Carbamide.
Woods spat out the black tea in his mouth, and even Lucien, who was sitting on his right side, was a little bit affected.
Lucien wiped his face in embarrassment and asked, "Mr. Woods, what's wrong with you?"
"Evans, do you know what you're writing?!" Woods stared at Lucien in horror. Then he lowered his head and quickly read the rest of the paper, including the experiment design and the result.
"Carbamide was really synthesized with several kinds of lifeless gases?" Woods murmured to himself in disbelief. Fortunately, he was not a necromancer. After calming himself down, he stared at Lucien seriously, "Evans, did you complete the experiment yourself?"
Lucien answered in confusion, "Yes, I completed it with the magic circles and alchemy circles in the lab. Mr. Woods, what's the problem? "
"Evans, don't you understand the significance of this experiment and the serious problems it will cause?!" Woods couldn't help but shout.
Lucien shook his head "innocently", "No, I don't."
“XXXX。 Why are you here again? "Woods cursed again. He rubbed his forehead with his right hand, as if he was trying to calm himself down.
…
After a whole morning's investigation, Raventi, Gaston, and the rest of them, who had found nothing except that the attacker was Traquair, returned to their own libraries. Several members of the committee tried to narrow down the range and get some hints with astrology, but they failed to get a clear result because of the interference. They had to wait until the afternoon to ask the legendary sorcerers to find clues with astrology and Retrospect.
"Mr. Gaston, these are the papers that need to be reviewed today." The elemental servant took three papers and put them on the desk in front of Gaston. The rest of the papers had been given to the middle-rank arcanists in the manor.
Gaston picked up the first paper and saw the familiar name, "Lucien Evans X."
After what happened last time, Gaston told his elemental servant to leave all the papers submitted by Lucien Evans X to him for review.
"The young arcanists are making great progress in their experiments. We, on the other hand, haven't made any progress in the study of the source of divine power and the will of nature. Is it really unpredictable?" While reading the paper, Gaston sighed that the grand arcanists were not making good progress, especially since Malfurion was going back to the Stroop forest tomorrow.
Although they all knew that the Church was bluffing, they could not reject the excuse of the Elven Palace and the Elder Council of Druids, unless there was some breakthrough.
While reading Lucien's paper, Gaston thought to himself, "If we use the excuse that we've found a universal alchemical substance to increase the food production, will Malfurion stay for a few more days? But in this case, even if he stays, he won't use any divine power, because he's already achieved his goal. "
While thinking, Gaston turned to a new page, on which the title was: Experiment and Discussion on Synthetic Carbamide.
As if there was an electric current running up from the end of his spine, Gaston trembled slightly. He suddenly straightened his back and started to read the rest of the paper carefully, as if he had forgotten everything else.
Then, he stood up with a serious face and rushed into the magic lab. (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.)
