After getting to know Lucien better, Lazar had gotten used to the fact that Lucien would occasionally say things that other people did not understand. Lazar smiled and answered for Lucien, "Mr. Eric, if you open Arcana and read the first chapter, you'll understand why Lucien wrote the inscription."
Hearing Lazar's words, Eric hurriedly opened Arcana and skipped the table of contents. On the first article, he saw the name of Lucien Evans X, a level five arcanist and a fifth-circle sorcerer.
Then he looked up and saw the title of the paper:
"The Discovery of a New Particle."
"A new particle? This month … "Thinking of the letters he received from his friends, Eric felt both excited and uneasy.
"Mr. Eric, please stay calm." Seeing the obvious expression on Eric's stiff face, Lazar chuckled. He knew that Eric was not good at elemental magic, and he would not use atom theory as the basis of his cognitive world. Therefore, he was not worried that Eric's head would explode.
Eric quickly skimmed through the paper and suddenly raised his head. His gray eyes lit up, "A new particle, so much smaller than an atom, Evans, the truth of the world is much more complicated than we thought! Your contribution can be compared to the confirmation of the existence of planets! "
For the researchers of arcana and magic, it was more significant than the periodic law of elements and the discontinuity of energy. The former was only a conclusion of the rules, and the latter was still limited to hypotheses. The discovery of electrons, on the other hand, had unveiled the veil on the surface of the world and further revealed the nature of the world.
"If they really exist …" Lucien added subconsciously. He did not expect that Mr. Eric, who had joined the government, still had some interest in arcana and exploring the truth of the world.
"No, no, no. The existence of planets has not been confirmed yet. The discovery of electrons should be compared with the discovery of electromagnetic waves, the electromagnetic equation, the three laws, and the Miracle Experiment. It's so big that the sky is boundless, and it's so small. How 'small' we are in the middle of them?" Eric quickly corrected his mistake and mumbled vaguely.
Lazar held back his urge to tease Eric again. After all, Eric was the deacon. He turned to Lucien and smiled, "I've never seen Mr. Eric like this before. I only heard that he would behave like this when he was in the school."
After a few minutes, Eric slowly calmed down. He combed his hair and said, "Evans, you can write the inscription! You're right. The gate of the microscopic world is opening to us. How small can a matter be? "
"We know very little about the microscopic world right now, and we need all arcanists to explore it together. However, Mr. Eric, the discussion of the truth can be delayed. Please take out the files and the badge for me first. Otherwise, the other important things can't be sent here. "Lucien crossed his fingers and reminded Eric in a joking way.
Eric finally remembered that he still had the badge and the files in the small cage. He reached for the files and said to Lucien, "There's a paragraph on the title page of Arcana: 'Issue 10 of the year 789, specially presented to Mr. Evans.'"
"A special collector's edition …" Lucien did not expect that Arcana would have such a special feature.
"Level … level six?!" Eric stammered. The badge in his hand was black with six silver stars on it. The light was so dazzling that it almost dazzled people's eyes.
"Level six?" Lazar looked at the badge and was also shocked. He knew that the discovery of the electron would bring Lucien a lot of credit points, but he did not expect that Lucien could become a level six arcanist right now.
When one's arcana level reached level six, it meant that Lucien had stepped into the threshold of the senior-rank. He would be one of the top figures in the Congress of Magic!
"Could it be the wrong emblem?" Eric checked the badge in confusion, "Lucien Evans X, three thousand and sixty-nine arcana credits … He's really level six …"
Lazar opened his mouth and smiled, "Maybe it's because the discovery of the electron is so important that the reward is more than we thought. One of the two files should be the review document. "
"Can I have a look, Evans?" Although Eric was eager to know the reward, he did not forget to be polite, especially since Lucien had already become a level six arcanist.
Lucien did not mind. He smiled, "Read it out, Mr. Eric. It seems that Lazar also wants to hear it."
In order not to spread the shocking content, Lucien submitted the paper only a few days ago. He did not expect that the review report would be sent back together with the journal in which the paper was published.
"It's not 'seems', it's' definitely '." Lazar smiled.
"Mr. Raventi's comment is: 'A simple but classic experiment. From the order of magnitude, a particle smaller than an atom has been confirmed. This experiment has opened a new field with infinite possibilities.'"
"Lucien Evans' discovery is undoubtedly groundbreaking. It has opened the gate to the microscopic world, and maybe it will change our era in the future. When we look back at it in the future, we will know how significant this discovery is. At the same time, this discovery has broken the old ideas and subverted the theory that atoms are the most basic matter. This discovery is very important and worth discussing. Six hundred arcana credits and five thousand arcana points are recommended as the reward."
Eric slowly read out Raventi's evaluation, but the arcana credit reward was not as much as they had expected.
The following comments were almost the same as Raventi's, and the recommended reward was also six hundred credits. Therefore, the overall comment was:
"The groundbreaking discovery in the microscopic world has broken the limits of the atomic theory. This is an extremely important contribution to the field of elemental magic and is worth discussing. Perhaps, this discovery will bring a new era to the microscopic world. Six hundred arcana credits and five thousand arcana points are recommended as the reward."
"That's even better than the periodic table of elements. But we don't know when the microscopic world will really come. Lucien, you've already published two papers of the same level. How can we still be confident in you?" Lazar congratulated Lucien half-jokingly, "But it's only six hundred arcana credits. Where did you get the missing one thousand credits?"
"Isn't there another one?" Lucien pointed at the file in Eric's hand. Since Eric had sent it out in public, he was going to expose it to the public.
Eric hurriedly opened the other file. Then he suddenly raised his head and asked in a trembling voice, "You designed the Miracle Experiment?"
"What?!" Lazar doubted that he had heard it wrong. Although he was not qualified to be in the manor when Raventi conducted the experiment in front of everyone, he later rented an alchemy laboratory according to the published paper and observed it. In the simulated primitive environment, only ordinary gas and water could slowly produce the life source, and the result was completely shocking. The mystery of life was so profound and fascinating, especially when it involved the element that he was good at!
"At that time, I didn't have the ability to bear the consequences of the experiment, so I chose to keep it a secret. But now, everything is different." Ever since Lucien's cognitive world was substantialized and electrons were projected, the effect of Lucien's meditation had been doubled. Now that he had enough money to buy drugs and materials, it was possible that he would be able to directly interfere with reality in four or five years.
"You … You're a monster!" Lazar didn't know how to express his shock.
After a while, Eric put on a bitter smile, "This Miracle Experiment almost dragged the God of Truth down from his throne. Evans, you're definitely a genius arcanist."
Eric added in his mind, "You have to be careful. The Church won't let you go for the new particle and the Miracle Experiment. The sorcerers in the Congress might also go to extremes."
"Thank you for your reminder. I'm ready." Lucien slightly nodded.
"… The overall evaluation is that this experiment has shown us a possibility of the origin of life. It's simple and full of indescribable mysteries. Like a miracle, it's a groundbreaking and extremely important achievement in the field of the origin of life. Six hundred arcana credits and five thousand arcana points are rewarded." Eric quickly finished reading the evaluation result, "Plus the repeated references of the Miracle Experiment in the past two years, a thousand credits are more than enough."
"Congratulations, you're now a real senior-rank arcanist." Eric handed the badge, the two files, and the journal to Lucien.
Lucien never thought that he could become a senior-rank arcanist under normal circumstances. He only hoped that he could become a sixth-circle arcanist before his body and soul were exhausted. If he could extend his life to five or six hundred years through potions and rituals, then he could become a level six arcanist.
Lucien took over the files and put them away. He put his spiritual power into the arcana badge and left a new imprint on it. After becoming a senior-rank arcanist, the badge had a permanent magic effect: Normal Freedom of Movement. Lucien would not be affected by the common magic effects such as Slow, Spider Web, and Grease.
"This magic effect is very good. The Congress is really generous to senior-rank arcanists." Lucien nodded in satisfaction. Obviously, this badge, which must have cost a lot of materials, was made in advance. Just now, he only needed to import the data of the original badge.
Lazar looked at Lucien's chest enviously, "The senior-rank arcanist's badge is really …"
At this time, Heidi knocked on the door. She saw that Mr. Evans and Mr. Lazar were about to leave, so she slightly pushed the door open and smiled proudly, "I'm a real arcanist now."
Heidi straightened her back, and the black badge with silver stars on it was very beautiful.
"Very good, our little arcanist." Lucien nodded approvingly.
"Ah? Six? You're already a sixth-tier arcanist, Master Evans?" Heidi's mouth was slightly agape. There was a huge difference between one and six.
In the corridor outside the door, Felipe walked by with his hands in the pockets of his black coat. It was the first day of October, and he was also here to renew his arcana badge and go to the library to borrow some books.
When he walked to the door, he subconsciously looked at the open door and saw Lucien standing there.
Felipe was a bit surprised when he saw the six-star arcana badge on Lucien's left chest.
Lucien also noticed Felipe and the six-circle magic badge on his chest. Lucien smiled and nodded to Felipe as a greeting.
Felipe kept the gloomy expression on his face, but he didn't stop walking.
"There's another badge?" When Eric was cleaning up the small cage, he realized that he had missed a badge. He picked it up and saw the front of the badge.
Lucien slightly turned his head. Did Eric just give the badge to him? He didn't need any ceremony.
"Arcana Review Board, Mr. Lucien Evans …" Eric read out the information in the badge, and he looked at Lucien with his light gray eyes, as if he didn't know who Lucien was.
Felipe, who was outside the door, heard Eric's voice. His hands in his pockets clenched slightly, but he still kept the gloomy expression on his pale face.
