The third one was still half past eleven, as usual.
…
In the magic lab.
Gaston looked at the white and slightly red solid particles in the reactor with a serious look on his face. When the result came back to him, his yellow pupils constricted subconsciously, "It's really carbamide without using any life substance …"
Gaston stared at the carbamide particles for a long time and then put on an excited and ironic smile, "Those bastards from the Hand of Paleness are in big trouble …"
Because of the different ideologies and the competition for interests, the Hand of Paleness and the Will of Elements had been in conflict for a long time. As the director of the Will of Elements, Gaston had competed with the senior-rank sorcerers in the Hand of Paleness many times. Seeing that the Life Force Theory was about to be overthrown, Gaston was gloating. After all, his meditation environment had little to do with the Life Force Theory, so he could easily adjust it.
"Lucien Evans put such an important experiment in his paper … Does he really not know about the Life Force Theory, or is he just testing it? The former is more likely. Only by not being influenced by the Life Force Theory can Lucien get rid of the shackles of the past cognition and synthesize carbamide in such a short time. " Gaston no longer doubted Lucien's talent in arcana. Lucien had the ability to think carefully, and now he had the ability to do experiments.
After dealing with the reactor, when Gaston was about to walk out of the lab, the door of his lab was slammed open, and the magic circles on the door were completely shattered.
"Who's there?!" Gaston was alerted, and a layer of seven-colored spherical shield instantly appeared around him.
The seventh-circle spell, Spell Reversal Enchantment.
There was no reply. Instead, there was another loud bang. The door of the magic lab and the magic circles were all sent flying. The magic light they released hit the person who came in, but it was absorbed by the nine-circle "Absorption Spell" that surrounded him.
"Gaston, have you read Evans' paper? The last part, the experiment of synthesizing carbamide! "Raventi's excited voice came.
Gaston looked at him and sighed, "Mr. Raventi, please knock on the door first."
"Oh, I'm too excited. This is a masterpiece that can overthrow the Life Force Theory of the school of Necromancy! Have you seen it?! " At the same time, he saw the reaction furnace and the carbamide that Gaston had put into the magic test tube. "You also completed the experiment?!"
Gaston looked behind Raventi and gestured to Raventi to control his volume, "Yes, Mr. Raventi, I've verified the experiment designed by Evans and synthesized carbamide with non-living gas. But I don't think it's conclusive enough. Carbamide may not be recognized as a living substance by the Hand of Paleness. By the way, Mr. Raventi, you didn't show this paper to anyone else, right? "
"No." As a level-nine arcanist, Raventi was not an idiot. After thinking for a while, Raventi understood what Gaston meant, "So you want to keep it a secret from the students of the school of Necromancy until you have a decisive result?"
Gaston nodded seriously, "Mr. Raventi, you see, there are only two words on the surface of the paper: 'Element' and 'Alchemy'. This proves that when the paper was divided into the category of Element Research and Alchemy Reaction, Evans thought that this experiment had nothing to do with necromancy. That is to say, the students of the school of Necromancy don't know about this experiment, but I'm worried that Evans might have leaked it. "
Gaston was more than happy to use this kind of research result to strike a heavy blow to the Hand of Paleness.
"I don't agree with you, Gaston." Raventi shook his head seriously, "This kind of subversive research result is different from unique magic. No matter whether it's decisive or not, it should be published as soon as possible so that all arcanists can see it and discuss it. Only in this way can we find the direction of the breakthrough and the way to synthesize the decisive substance in the shortest time possible."
"Gaston, have you forgotten the spirit that the Congress of Magic relies on? The exploration of the truth and the positive and frank communication! Although we're from the Will of Elements, we're also members of the Congress of Magic! "
Gaston thought for a while, "Alright. But this will cause a lot of discussion. I'm a little worried about Evans's safety. "
Raventi was the vice president of the Will of Elements, and the fact that he directly announced the artificial synthesis of carbamide was also shocking, so Gaston didn't insist.
"Let Evans live in the house between us," Raventi said without hesitation. "But before that, I need to find a few grand druids to verify the validity of the first part of Evans' paper, and let them see the possibility of increasing the production of food."
…
"Evans, now you understand the importance of the Life Force Theory in the school of Necromancy, right?" It took Woods more than ten minutes to explain the Life Force Theory to Lucien.
Lucien nodded, "Yes, I see. So this is the Life Force Theory, and it's so important in the school of Necromancy. I'm an expert in Elements and Astrology, so I don't know much about it. But, Mr. Woods, what does it have to do with my experiment of artificial synthesis of carbamide? "
"You …" Woods had no choice but to admit that Lucien was really just a rookie and a genius who had only learned arcana for a few months. "Carbamide is a living substance," said Woods. "Carbamide is a living substance. Well, I should say that most people regard carbamide as a living substance, but in fact, it's not strictly defined. "
Lucien said half-jokingly, "Mr. Woods, does this mean that my paper has overthrown the Life Force Theory, and I'll get a very high evaluation? Will I have a chance to win the Immortal Throne prize? "
"It's hard to say, because it's not decisive enough." Woods frowned. Even though he did not use the Life Force Theory to construct the world, he still subconsciously leaned toward the Life Force Theory and judged carbamide's position with a critical eye, "As for the Immortal Throne prize, I'm afraid that you won't have a chance. But after tomorrow's briefing, Evans, you have to be careful. Some stubborn necromancers might lose their minds and want to teach you a lesson."
Lucien had already prepared for this, "I'll stay in this manor for a few days to recover. With Mr. Raventi and Mr. Gaston here, I should be safe. Mr. Woods, are you still willing to publish this paper? "
"Of course, I'm going to put it on the first article of the next issue of Common Arcana, and I think the briefing after tomorrow will be full of arguments about your experiment, so we can choose some valuable parts to include in the journal." Woods was smart enough to plan.
At this time, Raventi's voice came from outside the door, "Evans, are you there?"
"Yes, Mr. Raventi. What brings you here?" Lucien's head was throbbing as he thought of the unfinished math exercises. He opened the door.
Raventi was still wearing his favorite gray magic robe, but the elemental symbols on it had been arranged according to the periodic table, "Gaston and I have finished reviewing your paper and submitted the results to the Arcana Review Board. This is the final review for you. By the way, you can move to the room next to mine in the next few days. "
"Sure, Mr. Raventi," Lucien agreed without any hesitation, and then he took over the review of the paper.
"This paper has solved the problem of whether alchemical substances could provide nutrients for plants to grow, and it has also designed several large-scale preparation plans, which are of certain importance and popularity. Among the several preparation experiments, the synthetic carbamide experiment has shown the possibility of overthrowing the Life Force Theory. Although the definition of carbamide is still not clear, and it can't be used as a decisive evidence, there is no doubt that this is a groundbreaking feat, and it has launched a powerful challenge to another fundamental theory of ancient magic. The comprehensive review result is: fifty arcana credits and three hundred arcana points. "
"All three of your papers have such high praises." Woods sighed after he finished reading. As an arcanist close to level five, there were only a few papers that were considered groundbreaking and exploratory, and the three papers published by Lucien were more or less all in one of those fields. How could he not feel a bit jealous?
Woods then asked, "Mr. Raventi, are we still going to continue the research project? You mean we're going to stay here for a few more days? "
"Yes, Mr. Malfurion has decided to let some of the druids go back first, and he and the rest will stay here for a few more days to see if Evans' paper can really solve the problem of popularization," said Raventi in a serious tone. Malfurion had made it clear that he would no longer cooperate with Hathaway to study the Will of Nature. "Also, after reading Evans' paper, Mr. Lord of Storm and Ms. Hathaway have decided that in tomorrow's briefing, all the arcanists who participate in the discussion will be given some credits, and the cited papers will also be given citation credits."
The great significance of the periodic table of elements had not been fully revealed yet, and it would take a long time for a new field to be established. Therefore, although the grand arcanists and legendary sorcerers were concerned about the result of the research, they did not directly encourage the research in this field.
The effect of overturning an old theory was immediate and sensational. Therefore, they paid close attention to it and gave it substantial encouragement. If it were not for the fact that they had to continue exploring the mysteries of nature's divine spells from the first-hand data they obtained in the past week, perhaps they would have joined the discussion and started the research in this field as well.
…
The next morning, many arcanists were used to reading the briefing of the project while having breakfast.
Menshak, the necromancer of the Hand of Paleness, was slowly drinking a glass of milk. In front of him was a plate of bread and butter and a briefing of the project.
As a senior member of the Hand of Paleness, Menshak was almost four hundred years old. He had turned into a lich long ago, and enjoying delicious food was just a psychological comfort. Currently, he was a level five arcanist and a seventh-circle necromancer, and he was in charge of a research team.
"Several Useful Alchemy Substances Discovered in Oat Planting Experiments and Discussing Their Dosage and Mass Preparation Methods? Those damn bastards from the Will of Elements have made a breakthrough? " Menshak read carefully. The school of necromancy had also made some progress, such as stimulating plants with the power of life and using undead creatures to farm. However, it was still far from being popularized.
As he read, Menshak's bony hands that were wrapped in a thin layer of human skin started to tremble. (To be continued. If you like this work, you're welcome to come to qidian.com to vote. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
