In a library on the thirty-third floor of the Headquarter of the Magic Council.
Lucien was holding a letter signed by Oliver Constantine, "… Starting from the fifth circle, every time a sorcerer's magic power increases, his or her cognitive world will start to interact with his or her soul and gradually materialize. In order to become a legendary sorcerer, his or her cognitive world must be half-solidified, forming a domain between virtual and real …"
Lucien raised his head and looked at his teacher in shock, but Fernando was still deep in thought with his eyes closed. He was not shocked by the mysteries of legends revealed in Oliver's letter at all, nor did he blame Lucien for hearing a secret that he shouldn't have.
Although Lucien's Book of Astrology and Elements recorded the ritual of advancing into legendary, Lucien was still not a senior-rank sorcerer. Lucien did not have enough soul power and spiritual power to read the content, nor was he qualified to use the Advanced Arcana and Magic Library to read the records. Therefore, Lucien knew nothing about how to advance into legendary or what kind of changes would happen to the body, soul, and spiritual world. However, Oliver, the grand arcanist 'Hand of Annihilation', was telling Lucien everything as if it was just a casual conversation.
Of course, the real person he was writing to was a grand arcanist. It was not a secret at all.
"Keep reading. Don't you have the ambition and confidence to become a legendary? "Fernando said calmly without opening his eyes.
This was the benefit of having a grand arcanist as his teacher. Lucien could get in touch with a lot of secret knowledge and lay a solid foundation for his future development.
Lucien kept reading, "Fernando, you know that the closer one's cognitive world is to the real world, the easier it is to half-solidify it, which can reduce the overall difficulty of advancing into legendary. Considering Florencia's talent in arcana, this might be one of the main obstacles for her in the future. Therefore, I've been working on the half-solidification of the cognitive world.
"As the research deepened, I found that after excluding the different components of the cognitive world based on different arcana theories, the space structure in the meditation environment was obviously contradictory with the real world … Maybe the mathematical basis of our description of space was wrong … We need to reexamine our mathematics from the beginning. In this regard, I have some opinions …"
It seemed that Lucien's mathematical ability was not as good as his arcana skills in other fields, and he did not have any praiseworthy opinions yet. Fernando refuted all of them mercilessly. Then, with the help of the letter, he began to test and guide Lucien's mathematical knowledge.
"You're not that stupid when it comes to mathematical analysis." Fernando said expressionlessly. Then, he commented with a smile, "Although Oliver has a lot of lovers and even his own female students, he is truly in love with Florencia, just like in the opera."
Master, can you not be so rude? Lucien couldn't help but complain. He always had the feeling that Fernando was a two-faced person. When discussing arcana and magic, he was serious, harsh, and impatient, like a roaring storm that would strike at any moment. However, when it came to other aspects, he would become old, frivolous, humorous, and obscene. He did not mind the casual attitude of his students at all. No wonder he was nicknamed an old pervert.
Seeing that Lucien did not say anything, Fernando shook his head and smiled, "But if it goes on like this, Florencia's grudge will grow heavier and heavier. Someday, they will have a conflict. Chances are that Florencia will seek revenge with one of her lovers. Tsk, tsk. By then, Oliver's face will definitely be very good. The Hand of Annihilation, the Hand of Annihilation, I wonder if it will destroy Florencia directly? "
What a gossipy little old man. Lucien wiped the non-existent cold sweat on his forehead, especially when he mentioned the irresponsible speculation about whether or not Oliver would kill Florencia with his own hands. Fernando was obviously happy to hear it. He was indeed an old pervert!
"Master, it shouldn't be possible. Who dares to touch the wife of a grand arcanist?" Lucien tried to stop Fernando's dramatic speculation.
Fernando looked at Lucien in disdain, "That's not necessarily true. There are always crazy young people who are not afraid of death! When I was young, I was much crazier than Oliver. Sigh. Now that I'm old, I don't have that kind of interest anymore. Nothing is more important than exploring the mysteries of the world. "
Shaking his head again, Fernando said, "Next letter."
Finally, everything was back on track. Lucien hurried to enter the state of concentration.
After reading the letters one after another, Fernando continued to lead Lucien to do thermal radiation experiments. He wanted to collect more data so that he could find the rules and derive the formulas later.
… …
In the study of the garden villa.
Lucien opened the letter he received today. It was from Viscount Harrison, a senior-rank illusionist.
"… I've read your paper, Evans. I have to say that I'm a bit disappointed. You've given up your advantages in the field of elements and astrology and blindly stepped into the field of electromagnetic waves, hormones, and illusions that you're not familiar with. Your paper is as shallow as Isabella's, and there are many things that are far-fetched and unverifiable."
"Of course, I admire your keen thinking in arcana. Even in the field that you're not good at, you've made groundbreaking achievements. Maybe I should accept that part of illusions is the result of the combination of electromagnetic waves and alchemical substances … Some of your experiments are very interesting, especially the modification of 'Charm Person'. Maybe when you have a deeper understanding of illusions, you'll be able to make greater contributions in the field of illusions …"
After that, Harrison introduced his basic understanding of illusion to Lucien. Although he wasted more than twenty pages of paper, Harrison did help Lucien to solve some of his problems in the field of illusion.
"… The debate about whether Isabella can win the Laurel or not is getting more and more intense. The Family of Sorcerer has decided to gather us senior-rank sorcerers for a discussion next month. I wonder if they'll acknowledge her contribution. It's a pity that your paper hasn't reached a conclusive result yet, or I can suggest that you share the Laurel with Isabella, and you'll be one of the two most outstanding arcanists in the past hundred years. "
"Alright, let's keep in touch. We're all sorcerers who are close to the nobles."
The Family of Sorcerers had inherited the conservative and rigid style of the ancient Magic Empire. They would wait until the end of the year to review the achievements of the three major schools in the past year. Unlike the Holm Crown prize, as long as the achievements were important enough to leave a footprint in the history of magic, the Family of Sorcerers would quickly enter the stage of review and discussion. Usually, the awards would be given out within a short period of time, unless the achievement was still unproven. Otherwise, the Family of Sorcerers would wait until a few years later when there was more solid evidence.
However, this time, the Family of Sorcerer hurriedly gathered all senior-rank sorcerers for a discussion next month, which was obviously against their style. It seemed that the Family of Sorcerer was under a lot of pressure.
Putting down the letter, Lucien took out a piece of white paper and dipped the quill in ink, ready to write a letter.
The first letter was, of course, to send to the princess far away. However, after the change of mood, Lucien suddenly did not know what to write. He was both anxious and expectant.
"I can't be too straightforward. I have to cultivate the atmosphere and figure out Natasha's thoughts. I can't talk about arcana and magic research, because she won't be able to understand it at all. Also, I can't talk about arcana and magic research, because I'll lose the fun of writing to her." Lucien calmly analyzed all kinds of problems. He could not be like the boys in the jokes in his previous life, who talked about extremely complicated and boring professional issues in letters with girls.
"But my main life is arcana and magic research. What should I write if I don't talk about it?" Lucien snapped his fingers. He was caught in a dilemma, but soon he figured out a solution. "Let's not talk about arcana and magic research, but I can write about the interesting people and things I've met in my research. That's my life. Also, I'll write about music, the description of the Kingdom of Holm, and the news about Prince Patrick and the old king. "
After sorting out his thoughts, Lucien started writing.
"… My teacher is Mr. Fernando, the Lord of Storm. He is a very contradictory person. When it comes to questions about arcana and magic, he is very irritable, strict, and demanding. His temper is also very bad. Even a quiet and cautious person like me has been roared at several times. It's really like the horror of a storm. Other than that, he is also very casual and humorous …"
In order not to leave any evidence, Lucien did not use the word "obscene".
"When I read the letters from the legendary sorcerers, I can vaguely tell their personalities from their choice of words. For example, your elder Miss Hathaway is a lady who is not good at expressing herself, but when it comes to the discussion of arcana and magic, I can feel her firm and sharp side from her simple sentences …" Lucien nodded and said.
"Mr. Douglas seems to be a very generous old man. He rarely loses his temper. The only problem is that he has a lot of 'whys' … Mr. Brook is very precise in his choice of words, and he describes things very well. It can be seen that he has a certain literary foundation. At the same time, he is a very stubborn old gentleman who does not like fancy words …"
"… When it comes to discussions about things other than arcana and magic, Mr. Oliver's language is passionate and poetic, and he has excellent dramatic talent. Just from his letters, I can imagine a handsome, charming, mature man. It's a pity that he is too dissolute and indulges himself in his lust. He has no resistance to women …"
"… Ms. Hellen Paris never talks about anything other than arcana and magic. She is like a cold machine. However, according to my teacher, she is actually a lively and talkative lady. It's just that she focuses all her attention on exploring the nature of the world. Even when she writes letters, she is too lazy to talk about anything else …"
"Mr. Vicente Miranda, the Lord of the Undead, seldom writes to my teacher. From the only two letters, we can see that he is not a man who cares about his appearance, because the back of the two letters is stained with corpse oil. They are so wrinkled that they look like they have just been dug out from a graveyard … It's really annoying …"
…
After writing the letter to Natasha, Lucien was immediately relieved. He wrote letters to K, Rock, Larry, Timothy, Ulysses, and other friends, informing them that he was back. He also wrote a reply to Viscount Harrison, describing some superficial content about dream analysis and behavioral psychology.
… …
A few days later, Lucien came to Fernando's study at the fixed time. Lucien's friends came to visit him one after another.
"Good morning, Mr. Fernando." Lucien greeted him politely.
Fernando roared, "No, I'm not good at all! Why did I do this thermal radiation experiment? I'd rather not try anything! "
Lucien's heart skipped a beat. Was the data enough? He had been in the critical phase of analyzing the fifth-circle spell, and he had not had time to sort out the data yet.
