The alchemical life that belonged to the Arcana Review Board was mainly responsible for several things. First, it was to sort out the received papers according to the keywords and distribute them to the members of different fields. Second, it was to send the final review results to the Sorcerer Administrative Department. Third, it was to get the final descriptive review based on the comments of the two members, as well as the final reward of arcana credits and arcana points. Fourth, it was to send the paper to the third member for review when there was a big disagreement between the two members.
If the first two members disagreed with the third member's review, the third member would inform all the members of the review and the author of the paper to hold a small meeting. Under the supervision of a special consultant of the Arcana Review Board (a member of the Highest Council), the third member would discuss and make the final decision. As the most special organization, the Arcana Review Board was very loose. There was no president or vice president. On the entire fifteenth floor, except for the members and their servants, there were only some middle-rank sorcerers who were responsible for administrative work.
"The paper has been reviewed by three gentlemen …" The alchemical life was in a dilemma. It seemed that there was a small mistake when it distributed the paper, so it had sent the paper to three members at the same time, and the conclusions they got were completely different. It was like the difference between the abyss and Mountain Paradise.
In the end, the alchemical life forgot its mistake and came up with a logical solution. "Send the three review results to Mr. Neeshka, Mr. Milina, Mr. Evans, and Levski, and invite them to the small meeting at nine o 'clock tomorrow morning. Well, I also need to send an invitation to the other members in the field of mathematics and the Lord of Storm."
As the grand arcanist who had been guarding Allyn for the past few years, Fernando was the prime candidate for the position of special consultant. If he was busy with arcana research and magic creation, he would turn down the invitation immediately, so that the alchemical life could invite other grand arcanists or legendary sorcerers.
… …
In the Sorcerer Administrative Department, Eric scratched his head in confusion. He vaguely remembered that something similar had happened before, but because he had only heard about it from his colleagues, he could not recall it at the moment. "What the hell happened? How did this happen? "
Levski came here from a nearby town by magic steam train in the chilly morning wind. His face was pale, and now he was filled with indescribable sadness. "Maybe … Maybe the committee members threw my paper into the trash can …"
This was something that had happened to him before. Back then, because he failed to pass the review, he intended to submit his paper to the Arcana Discussion Journal and other journals for discussion so that more people could see his paper and gain some recognition. However, the paper that he submitted was like a stone that sank into the ocean. He did not even receive a rejection letter. Later, he learned that the arcanist who reviewed the paper threw it into the dustbin after reading only one third of the paper. He thought that the arcanist who reviewed the paper thought that some random arcanist was trying to mess it up.
"Well …" Eric wasn't sure. Even though he knew Lucien to be calm, reserved, and elegant, Lucien had made great achievements in the history of the Magic Congress at such a young age. With his age, achievements, power, and status, it was normal for him to be a little arrogant.
Suddenly, the iron cage lit up with milky white light again. Levski's eyelids twitched slightly, and the sorcerers fell into silence again.
"Did the alchemical life leave out your share?" Eric tried to comfort his old friend.
"Yes." Levski nodded vigorously, but he could not say anything else.
When the light disappeared, Eric craned his neck and looked at the paper. He smiled suspiciously. "It's the evaluation result of your paper."
Levski let out a sigh of relief. But just as he was about to relax, he became nervous again. He wanted to reach out his hand several times, but he drew it back in the end. He said in a trembling voice, "Eric, read the evaluation result for me, one by one."
Eric was also curious about the evaluation result, so he did not refuse. He really hoped that Lucien's evaluation could be more direct and straightforward, so that Levski could completely give up his persistence on this path. Levski could go back to his normal life and become the arcanist in the fields of astrology and mathematics that both the Congress and Tower thought highly of — an arcanist who was neither talented nor outstanding, but who had made great achievements through hard work and perseverance.
Picking up the document with the evaluation result, Eric found that there were two pages in total. Calming himself down, Eric began to read it to Levski.
"Mr. Neeshka, a level eight arcanist, a seventh-circle sorcerer, and an authority in the fields of astrology, force field, and mathematics, said, 'If Levski's dream is to write a paper that no one can understand or agree with, then his dream has been realized, even if the whole paper is full of ridiculous mistakes. Citing my previous evaluation, I ask Levski to look out of the window, look at the warm sunshine, look at the blue sky. This is the real world, not the geometry in his imagination. Therefore, my conclusion remains unchanged. This is a worthless paper. '"
Levski lowered his head a little, clenched his fists, and couldn't stop his body from trembling slightly when he heard the harsh comment.
Eric glanced at Levski sympathetically and comfortingly, and continued reading.
"Ms. Milina, a level seven arcanist, a seventh-circle sorcerer, and an authority in the fields of astrology, electromagnetism, and mathematics, said, 'This paper is full of weird and inexplicable deductions and propositions, which are completely different from our experience and knowledge. It's like a prank made by a beginner. Please don't use this kind of paper to tease the Arcana Review Board. There is no doubt that this paper is not qualified at all. No, the format of the paper is very, very qualified, but it won't help it pass the review. I don't think there can be a new geometry system that is fundamentally different from Tower Geometry. '"
Levski lowered his head even more. No one knew whether he was trying to hide the anger, despair, and pain on his face, or he was trying to find a crack on the ground out of shame. But from his clenched fists, it seemed that the answer could be found.
At this moment, Levski felt like he was falling from a cliff. He was trying to fly up, trying to grab something, but he had no ability or chance. He was about to fall into the dark abyss of despair.
The sound of Eric turning the pages of the paper came into Levski's ears. It seemed that Levski had grasped the last straw that could save his life. His body was trembling, and his ears and face were flushed with nervousness.
One second passed, and there was no sound. Ten seconds passed, and there was still no sound. Levski was about to break down in this "long" wait. Finally, he couldn't help but raise his head. He saw Eric standing there like a stone statue, staring blankly at the document in his hand.
"Eric?" Levski's voice was obviously trembling.
As if he had just woken up from a dream, Eric murmured with a stiff expression,
"Mr. Evans, a level six arcanist, a fifth-circle sorcerer, and an authority in the field of Elements and Thermodynamics, said, 'The bold assumption, the rigorous deduction, and the flawless reasoning have shown us a brand-new geometric system that is different from Tower Geometry. If we temporarily forget our past experience, our intuition, and the outside world, we will find that this is an independent, complete, real, and rigorous geometric axiom system. Maybe we should call it Levski Geometry.'" Lucien continued.
Levski's mouth opened unconsciously, and the expression froze on his face. The trembling of his nervousness disappeared. He felt like he was still in a dream.
Eric had come back to himself. He looked at Levski as if he didn't know this old friend of his.
"Although it's not as important as calculus, I'd still like to describe the significance of this paper as the revolution of calculus in geometry. Let's thank Mr. Levski for his groundbreaking research in geometry, and thank him for his long-term persistence."
Levski's vision was blurred, and his head was filled with blood. Hearing these words, especially the last one, tears slid down from the corner of his eyes.
Eric seemed to sympathize with Levski, and his tone softened.
"This is a groundbreaking, groundbreaking, and universal paper. It will play a very important role in arcana research, and it's worth discussing. I suggest that you reward him with 600 arcana credits and 5000 arcana points."
Levski opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but nothing came out. Suddenly, he buried his face in his hands, lowered his head, and cried bitterly. All the years of depression, grievance, and pain seemed to have been soothed. It was not in vain!
He had never shed tears for this in the past ten years, but at this moment, he could no longer control himself.
If it were not for the fact that Levski failed to provide a proof of the mathematical model, and the application of non-Euclidean geometry had not been expanded, Lucien would have listed the paper as extremely important. But now, he had to lower the evaluation and use a slightly inferior description.
Eric read the rest of the document and looked at Levski who was crying bitterly. He did not interrupt him. When Levski stopped crying, Eric said, "Because the three members' conclusions are too different, there will be a small meeting of the Arcana Review Board in the field of mathematics at nine o 'clock tomorrow morning. Remember to attend."
"Okay!" Levski answered firmly. He was not discouraged at all. Now that there was a member who understood and agreed with his new geometry, he felt that his life had not been wasted.
When he stood up, he murmured to himself in a low voice, "Thank you, Mr. Evans."
… …
In Fernando's study.
After about a minute of silence, Douglas stood up excitedly. "Young people are always full of ideas! Lucien, although it's difficult, you've given me the urge to do research that I haven't had for a long time. "
"Maybe, this is the era of great change and development that Bergner said. I can't wait to go back and do research in this direction!"
After saying that, Fernando opened the space portal at a speed that Lucien could not catch up with and returned to his own demiplane.
Fernando looked at Lucien thoughtfully with his red eyes. When Lucien felt a bit scared, Fernando said, "I have a feeling that your proposal is not that simple …"
"Of course not," Lucien answered "firmly".
When Fernando was asking more questions, the transmission circle on his desk lit up, and a document appeared.
Fernando picked up the document and flipped through it. He sneered, "You always make a big fuss when you do things. Tomorrow morning at nine o 'clock, there will be a small meeting of the Arcana Review Board in the field of mathematics on the fifteenth floor. Tsk, you're so different from the others."
Lucien, who had expected this, smiled. "Mr. Fernando, do you want to be a special consultant?"
Fernando gave him a stare and said sarcastically, "I have to consider if I should join or listen to what you insist on. It's a very dangerous thing. Oh, it's in the field of mathematics, so it won't affect my cognitive world. But I still need to read the paper first."
Mr. Fernando, am I really that bad in your mind? Lucien was speechless.
… …
In the tower, Neeshka looked at the document in his hand in silence. After a long time, he threw it on the desk and said angrily, "What is Lucien Evans thinking? Could it be that he would agree to everything that was subversive? Does he have any logic? He doesn't even care about the basic facts! "
