Lucien smiled awkwardly. "When I wrote the paper on the general theory of relativity, I received the feedback of the real world and generated the space-time spell 'Time Stop' in my soul."
The space-time spells were the intersection of astrology, force field, transformation, electromagnetism, and light and darkness. Therefore, they were very complicated. The sorcerers who were not adept at any of the five schools could only construct them with their mathematical foundation and spiritual power, which was much more difficult than learning the spells of the same level.
Lucien's original plan was to construct 'Spell Sequencer', 'Raventi's Fiery Hell', 'Shooting Star', and other spells that he was good at when he advanced into the ninth circle. However, 'Time Stop', which was as famous as' Cracking (Advanced) 'among the ninth-circle spells, was generated on its own just like that.
"The feedback of the real world …" Fernando was slightly surprised and then became solemn. Such feedback was something that every grand arcanist was used to. It was repeatable and verifiable. However, even so, they were eager to figure out the mechanism, why the feedback was generated, and how the feedback was generated.
For the arcanists, writing a paper was a process of finalization, accompanied by their confidence in the result. It was like the result of an experiment or the improvement of a spell. The paper that they had considered for a long time and solved a lot of problems would be finalized in such a process, and their spirit would be melted into it.
If drafting or thinking alone could trigger changes in one's cognitive world, the wrong ideas and omissions in the beginning would be highly dangerous. It was possible that an arcanist's cognitive world changed the moment he had a good idea, only to have his head explode the next second when he made a mistake in his calculation.
Fernando asked a few questions about the unsolved mystery that the Congress of Magic did not receive attention until more than a hundred years after it was founded. He found that it was not much different from before. So, he held back his confusion and said, "Now that you have advanced into the ninth circle, the legendary item of the general theory of relativity will be replaced by the ritual of 'Origin of Magic'. You will stay in Allyn for a couple of days and do not go anywhere or tell anyone. Focus on stabilizing your magic power. After Douglas comes out of the demiplane, we will help you hold the legendary advancement ritual with the assistance of 'Origin of Magic' after we confirm the value of your paper together."
For the archmages whose cognitive world had half-solidified, the Congress of Magic offered the legendary advancement ritual for free. For the archmages who wanted to support the half-solidification of their cognitive world with magic rituals, not only had to pay for the materials and the legendary sorcerers themselves, but they also had to share half of the cost of the legendary advancement ritual.
It was both realistic and fair. None of the archmages were infuriated.
"Master, will there be any hidden problems left?" Of course, Lucien was willing to advance into legendary in advance, which meant that his safety would be truly guaranteed. Otherwise, even though he had two legendary items, his spiritual power would be drained after he used one or two legendary spells, and it would be meaningless. However, if the hidden problems were too great, Lucien was not impatient to stay in Allyn and Renstadt for ten years. Natasha could pick up the Sword of Truth when she was level eight, but she could only wield it two or three times.
Fernando chuckled. "How can there be any hidden problems in such an expensive ritual that requires the assistance of six legendary sorcerers? Well, the failure rate is relatively high, isn't it? However, I will invite Douglas, Brook, Hathaway, Oliver and Hellen to host the ritual with me. Four top legends and two level-three legendary grand arcanists will be the most extravagant team in the history of magic to hold such a ritual. The failure rate will be significantly reduced. On the other hand, your foundation is not stable yet. It will probably take you more time to advance after you advance into legendary. "
"You have your own unique meditation technique, don't you? In such a way, your foundation will be more or less stable after you advance into level-two legendary. Of course, even if it is slow, it is only relative to other grand arcanists. For example, Douglas and Brook both rose to the peak after decades. They are much faster than the sorcerers who are less compatible with legendary classes. "
Lucien nodded and said, "Then, after the review of the general theory of relativity is out, I'll exchange for the ritual of 'Origin of Magic'."
In the Congress of Magic, except for the seven grand arcanists, all the other legendary sorcerers were below level-three legendary. The Prophet, the Eye of Curse, the Master of Transformation and the Master of Alchemy were level-two legendary. The Creator, the Scholar of Silver Moon, the Absolute Defense, the Monarch of Fate, the Sun King and the Light of Stars were level-one. Among them, the Light of Stars who only advanced thirty years ago was the weakest.
Seeing that Lucien had made up his mind, Fernando summoned other legendary sorcerers to assist Oliver, and Hellen went to the laboratory to verify the discovery of neutrons.
Very soon, Hathaway and Brook arrived and asked for a copy of Lucien's paper. Their mathematical abilities were among the best among the grand arcanists, on par with Douglas and much better than Hellen, Oliver and Vicente. Even Fernando wouldn't have understood more than them if he hadn't studied 'Nature' before. As for the common legendary sorcerers, only the Prophet was as good as them in mathematics.
"From tomorrow on, the number of subscriptions of 'Nature' will be greatly increased. At the very least, I'll subscribe to one." Brook was not angry that Lucien shattered and solidified his cognitive world at all. He smiled like a gentleman.
In the past few years, because of its reputation as the most incomprehensible journal, the number of subscriptions of 'Nature' was only a few hundred percent of that of 'Arcana'. More people chose to read it in the arcana library when they needed it.
Even with the financial support of Tower and Lucien, the journal would not be suspended. However, Levski, Neeshka, Mina and the other arcanists were quite distressed, as they felt that their research could not be recognized by the majority of the arcanists. However, with Lucien's live broadcast today, the study of the general theory of relativity would definitely become a hot topic. Even if most arcanists did not understand the theory, they would still go to 'Nature' to read it.
Lucien smiled. "Mathematics is the tool and foundation of arcana research. It's the brightest jewel on the crown of arcana. That's why I want to start a journal called 'Nature'."
"Yes. Right now, many arcanists are only good at mathematics when it comes to analyzing magic models. The further you go, the more important mathematics will be." Hathaway was rather indifferent about the discovery of neutrons, as if it were a matter of course. When she reverse-engineered 'Eternal Blaze' and 'Atomic Fission', she had noticed that many parts of the magic models could not be established without the introduction of neutrons.
However, it was rare for her to blurt out such a sentence. Not only was it a long sentence, but it was also unadorned. She was rather excited by the explanation of the nature of gravity and the genius arcana ideas.
Brook nodded his head and said, "Your description of the speed of light as an unchangeable yardstick is a great inspiration for me. Your description of time and space is even more thought-provoking. In the field of electromagnetism, we should not stop at the application of electromagnetic waves and electromagnetic force. We have to figure out the nature."
Since they were going to help Oliver, the two grand arcanists did not say anything else. The most important thing right now was to rescue Douglas and go back to study the paper.
Lucien waited patiently nearby. After a while, Hellen walked out of the laboratory and waved her hands. She said coldly, "It's indeed neutrons. I'll lead you to the treasury of the Congress."
"Lucien, you can come up with your own tribute now. If you don't want to waste time, Oliver will be more than happy to do it for you." Fernando smiled next to the portal.
According to the tradition left by the Magic Empire, every legendary sorcerer had their own unique tribute. In the era of the Congress, the range was extended to the grand arcanists who had not advanced into legendary yet.
The tribute was closely related to the legendary class and the field they were best at. For example, Douglas' tribute was, "You are the chosen one of magic, the dominator of the cosmos, and your brilliance illuminates the path of arcana"; Brook's was, "You are the master of the kingdom of electromagnetism, and you write poems for the goddess"; Oliver's was, "You let the elements return to their original position, shuttling in the domain of time and space"; Hellen's was, "You are the elf of ice, dancing the most beautiful changes in the world"; and Vicente's was, "Your eyes put souls to sleep, and you are the dominator of death".
Hearing his name, Oliver chuckled. "I've already thought of a tribute for you. 'You are the truth of elements, and you wield the scepter of time and space'. How does that sound?"
Lucien found that it was surprisingly appropriate. So, he smiled and said, "It's indeed a tribute like a poem. I'll take it."
After confirming the tribute, Lucien followed Hellen to the end of the thirty-fifth floor of the Allyn magic tower, where he saw a black gate that was engraved with countless weird and terrifying patterns.
Hellen cast a spell and took out a 'magic key' to open the gate. She led Lucien into a small room inside.
The small room was empty, except for the four cabinets where four items were stored. One of them was a magic robe that was so dark that it could absorb souls, one was a gray staff that was entangled with countless weird patterns, one was a transparent crown that was embedded with seven alchemical gems, and one was a pair of silver-gray gloves that were metallic but glittering.
"The Robe of Grand Arcanists and Davey's Grasp are two legendary items that were crafted later. The former is level-two, and the latter is level-one." Hellen briefly introduced the magic robe and the silver-gray gloves. "The gray staff and the crown are both from the ancient Magic Empire. The former is called 'Soul Boundary', which is a powerful item in the school of necromancy. The latter is called 'Thorny Crown', which belongs to the school of transformation and astrology. They are both level-two. However, if you choose a legendary item that you are good at, it is possible that you can improve its level with precious materials as your level increases. Take your teacher's' Robe of Dominance 'for example."
Lucien nodded his head. He knew that legendary items were different from common magic items. They had potential for growth and were the easiest to craft in person. As for those that were obtained from the outside world, it depended on one's own field and one's own alchemy expertise. The odds of failure were very high.
Reading the introduction of the few items carefully, Lucien ruled out Davey's Grasp at first, because it was only level-one and the cheapest. Also, it overlapped with the Robe of Grand Arcanists that Klaus crafted. Then, he ruled out 'Soul Boundary'. He already had a 'Congus Ring' of the school of necromancy. Such a legendary item that could destroy souls and control the undead seemed redundant.
In the end, Lucien gave up 'Thorny Crown', which could manipulate the earth force (gravity) and the star force (gravity), affect time and space, and was attached to prophecy. It was because he intended to craft his own legendary item with the support of 'Observer of Time and Space', a legendary class that he did not choose, which would greatly overlap with the Thorny Crown.
"Robe of Grand Arcanists, a level-two legendary item, can only be used by legendary sorcerers or archmages whose cognitive world has half-solidified. Otherwise, the wearer's head will explode."
"This magic robe made by a master alchemist can effectively resist the recoil of spells. It can reduce the buffering time of spells below legendary by two seconds, and reduce the legendary spells by one second to 0.5 seconds depending on their difficulty."
It was the feature that Lucien valued most. It meant that after he put on the magic robe, there would be no buffering time for spells below the ninth circle. Even for the ninth circle spells, the buffering time would be less than one second. Sometimes, it was even more cost-effective than a legendary spell.
"The wearer of the magic robe will have the magic resistance of level-two legendary, and the defense against the attacks of Knight such as longsword will be improved to that of a level-nine gold Knight. The recovery speed of spiritual power will be accelerated by a hundred percent, and the wearer will be immune to confusion and chaos. When the wearer is attacked, the effects of Magic Absorber (eighth circle) and Elemental Skin (eighth circle) will be triggered."
"It also contains terrifying legendary power. It can perform Elemental Protection (twice), Space Shackle (twice), Apocalypse (twice), and Hellish Ball (twice) every day."
"In the meantime, it can also give the wearer a Spell Sequencer (ninth circle), two Cracking (ninth circle), and three Ruby Reversal Rays (seventh circle)."
"The power of sorcerers comes from wisdom!"
"From Veronica Klaus."
