"Have you reviewed it yourself?" Fernando asked with a faint smile after carefully sizing it up for a while.
Lucien knew what Fernando meant. He grinned, "Sir, there's nothing revolutionary about this paper. It's just a supplementary paper on the discovery of electrons. You know that I found the curse in the vase through the induction of electrons, so I used the method of cathode ray to verify the special material of the vase. "
Fernando took over the paper and complained, "Every time I read your paper, I have to deal with all the troublesome stuff for you. Can't you just write a normal paper?"
For Fernando, as long as it was not a terrifying hypothesis such as' discontinuity of energy ', he was more than happy to see the subversive ideas, which could help him to explore the world. However, when he had to deal with the aftermath of a subversive paper, his irritable and impatient personality would give him a headache. He wanted to wait for Lucien's paper to be communicated to him like Douglas and the rest of them did.
Lucien was more than happy to have his teacher help him deal with the consequences of blowing up a sorcerer's head. He did not want to take the trouble himself at all. Therefore, after hearing Fernando's complaint, he smiled but did not say anything.
After reading for a while, Fernando's face became serious. He started reading carefully. After quite a while, he finally finished half of the book. He couldn't help but shake his head, "Morris must hate himself. Why didn't he help Bellak and trap Alferris before Bellak made his move?"
The title of the paper was A New Element That Could Radiate Electrons and Two Other Kinds of Rays. In Fernando's view, the new element named "uranium" by Lucien was not important. What was important was that the radiation of the new element proved that electrons came from atoms, and thus the internal structure of atoms was confirmed. The new element illuminated a path in the dark microscopic world, which was enough to win the Holm Crown prize.
"Sir, that's not the point." Lucien reminded Fernando in a low voice.
Fernando raised his head. His red eyes were very sharp. That was not the point?
"Apart from electrons, I don't know why the special material radiates a new element." Lucien tried to make his words as vague as possible to avoid revealing more information.
"Radiate a new element?" Fernando suspected that he had misheard. One element could radiate another element?
Thus, he read more and more seriously. As he read, his tone became stern. "Have you analyzed the composition of the special material? Is this new element contained in the special material itself?"
"Yes, I have. After purifying a small part of the special elements with 'Homology' and other magic circles, I found that it would still radiate the new element that I named 'helium'. Although the purified material may still contain other undiscovered trace elements, it is certain that it does not contain this gas or its alchemical substance. "Lucien pointed at the last few pages of the paper.
"What secrets are hidden behind the changes of the elements? Can they transform into each other? " Fernando fell into deep thought. After a few minutes, he said in his usual tone, "You're really blessed by the Goddess of Luck. You even got this special material when you were assassinated. I believe that in the end, this paper will definitely help us understand the mysteries of the origin of elements and the birth of matter. "
Following the tradition of the ancient magic empire, the Congress liked to fabricate all kinds of names of goddesses to describe different things. For example, the nature of magic was called 'Goddess of Magic', and the harshest coldness was called 'Goddess of Snow', which was completely different from the God of Truth.
"Sir, I don't want to submit this paper right now. I plan to keep it for a few years like Miracle Experiment." Lucien made his request.
"Why?" Fernando was very confused. This paper did not have any subversive ideas, and it would not piss off other sorcerers and churches. Why not submit it? Wouldn't it be better if more arcanists were involved in the exploration of the microscopic world and the nature of matter as soon as possible?
As he was talking, he turned the last few pages. He saw Lucien's idea of curse magic based on 'Curse' ray, the contribution of helium to ultra-low temperature, and the structure of 'Evans's Freezing Ray' and 'Snow Goddess' Whip '.
"Just to keep these few spells a secret?" Fernando knew the difficulty of the last two spells very well. After all, he was the pioneer in the field of thermodynamics. "Lowering the lower limit of ultra-low temperature by more than ten degrees … You can get an Ice and Snow Medal as soon as you publish it. Why don't you submit it?"
Hearing Fernando's words, Alferris stared at the paper with glowing eyes, as if it could not wait to pick up the quill and add its name on it.
"The mechanism of the last two spells is relatively simple. As long as helium is discovered, someone will construct it very soon. I want to keep it as my trump card. "Lucien stated his reason.
Fernando smiled and shook his head, "You want to keep such simple spells a secret? It's very difficult, Lucien. Don't forget that Atlant also took part of the materials, and the other part is still in the punishment department. Take a guess. When will they find it? "
"In three or four years." Lucien made his own judgment.
Fernando smiled, "In the next five or six years, you should focus on becoming a senior-rank. I don't think you should go out too often. So, it doesn't matter if you have a unique spell as your trump card or not. This spell is quite powerful, and it can help you turn the tables when you're facing senior-rank sorcerers. Even if you become a sixth-circle or a seventh-circle sorcerer, this spell will still be very useful. You killed Bellak with the freezing ray, right? Has your cognitive world been basically substantialized? "
"Yes, it has been basically substantialized when the electron is confirmed to be the internal structure of an atom." Lucien did not dare to mention that it was when the energy was not continuous.
Fortunately, the discovery of the electron and the confirmation of the relationship between the electron and the atom was also a shocking breakthrough for the arcanists, and it was very possible that Lucien's cognitive world would be substantialized. Therefore, Lucien thanked Fernando again in his mind, "Thank you for the vase, Mr. Bellak."
As Lucien expected, the Lord of Storm nodded slightly, "Then it's possible for you to become a senior-rank in three or four years. If you don't have enough materials, you can look for them in my demiplane warehouse. I'll keep the paper for two years, but I'll inform Atlant in case he submits the paper in excitement. Hehe, it's fine if you publish it two years later. If you submit it now, Morris will definitely give you an 'electron' ring with the excuse that 'the discovery of electrons' and 'the confirmation that electrons belong to the internal structure of atoms' are the same result. "
"However, I don't think the paper will be kept a secret for a few years. I heard that Timothy and Ulysses are both studying the composition of gases. It seems that they have already suspected that there are gases in the air that haven't been discovered yet."
Hearing what the Lord of Storm said, Alferris's eyes suddenly lit up. It stared at Lucien, as if it was trying to encourage him to empty the warehouse of the Lord of Storm's demiplane.
Lucien pretended that he did not see Alferris's eyes. Although he was a greedy person, he knew that he should not be greedy when it came to this kind of thing. If he was rich enough and the Congress had enough materials, he would rather rely on himself.
"In the next few years, focus on improving your magic power." Fernando reminded Lucien.
… …
In the Nekso Palace in Renstadt …
"We have to stop the conflict between the Church and the Congress of Magic!" James, the bald duke, said aloud.
The grand nobles of the Kingdom of Holm in Renstadt were summoned by King Feltis and Prince Patrick to discuss what happened today.
Rex, the president of the Parliament of Nobles and Duke of Frenburg, looked at James coldly. "Stop? We're trying to maintain the balance so that those wretched sorcerers can survive, and this is how they repay us? I think it's a serious mistake to support them anymore! "
He was wearing a white wig, and his beard had been shaved clean. The deep wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were in sharp contrast to his blue eyes, but he was still as brave and strong as' King's Griffin '.
"Even the most liberal nobles will not abandon the Church completely, and even the most conservative nobles should understand that without the Congress of Magic, we wouldn't have the power and position we have right now!" Russell, Duke of Wolfburg, did not beat around the bush. He simply put the facts that everybody knew but would not say out loud.
Immediately, the nobles stopped arguing, and the palace fell into weird silence.
"Cough, Russell, please pay attention to your words. Our honor and status are from the blessings of the Lord, the gifts of the Lord, and our own hard work." Finance Minister Henson saw King Feltis squinting his eyes, and he quickly broke the silence.
Prince Patrick also said solemnly, "This incident was mainly caused by the Church. We cannot blame the Congress of Magic. Similarly, we cannot watch our beautiful and prosperous territory being destroyed in the war. Mediation is what we have to do."
When it came to their territory and their lofty position under the balance, the nobles gradually reached a consensus. The few muddle-headed ultraconservatives, unable to change the situation, could only leave in fury.
After the mediation mission of the grand nobles was arranged, there was only the king and the prince left in the palace except for the servants.
The old Feltis looked at Patrick thoughtfully and shook his head. He turned around and left, while he asked in confusion, "Where will the future of the kingdom and the family lead to?"
The balance was too fragile. The wise nobles could see the problem, but it was the best choice for them. They could only pretend that they did not see it and try to maintain it.
… …
In the wagon.
The Duke of Frenburg suddenly sighed.
Sitting opposite him, another noble who was discussing something with him asked in confusion, "Mr. President?"
"The Congress of Magic is too powerful. If we continue to indulge them, they will suffer sooner or later. James is too short-sighted! "Rex looked at the street outside of the wagon.
"Then why do you support mediation? Why don't we just let the Church and the Congress of Magic go to war? "
Rex shook his head, "A war is not in our interest. We have to wait for an appropriate opportunity to work with the Church and destroy the Congress of Magic in the shortest time possible. Then we can support this broken Congress of Magic to fight against the Church. With the Church of the North on our side, this is our best option. When the Congress of Magic grows again, we will repeat the previous method. We have to keep its power within the range that we can control. "
… …
"How long can this balance be maintained?" James, the bald duke, asked in Russell's wagon.
Russell's eyes were deep, "One day, we have to make a choice. Should we destroy the Congress of Magic or wipe out the South Church like what we did to the countries controlled by the North Church? Before the Saint Truth is destroyed, the Congress of Magic will not change our position and power. Also, it's easier to maintain such a big balance. It's more difficult to maintain a small balance in one's own country. One moment of carelessness, and the precious' things' will be broken. "
"If so, we can't go to Mountain Paradise." Henson Count sighed.
"Mountain Paradise? Haha. "James smiled.
… …
A few days later, in the dangerous Allyn, the Saint Truth did not start a war.
Lucien received a "call" from Florencia, "Lucien, at the end of this week, the Holm Crown prize will be awarded to you in Allyn."
