Throne of Magical Arcana

After flipping through the formulas listed in this article and the meanings represented by the formula symbols in the final appendix of the "Arcane" journal, Lucien analyzed these formulas and found that they were basically consistent with the celestial mechanics formulas he knew, that is to say, The results calculated by them should be more accurate as long as the magician does not make a calculation error, but at that exact position, the existence of the planet cannot be found! Saw it all over the world!

"It's really specious." Lucien once again sighed that he had before, and then skimmed this article to the end.

After pondering for a while, Lucien turned to the first page of this article, wanting to see who the author of the article was: "Oliver Constantine, Grand Arcanist, Level 3 of the legendary magic profession 'Hand of Annihilation'."

"It turned out to be a great arcanist, and also a legendary magician!"

Lucien was surprised again: "Looking at the position of the arrangement, the honor of the Grand Arcanist in the magic world should be higher than that of the legendary magician, and the two can exist at the same time, it should be a different evaluation system, um, One is the grading of strength improvement, and the other is probably from the contribution to the study of magic principles."

With this in mind, Lucien quickly flipped through the back and looked at the signatures of those articles, and they were basically: "Eighth-level Arcanist, Nine-ring Astrologer", "Sixth-level Arcanist, Eighth-ring Elementalist" "In this way, Lucien's guess is affirmed, and there is basically no arcane level higher than the magic level, it seems that it is more difficult to advance in this level.

Looking at the nine-ring, eight-ring, and seven-ring magic levels, Lucien was heartbroken for a while, and Lucien flipped through the following articles. They are:

"Research on String Vibration in Some Magic";

"The Method of Differentiation, or a Brief Introduction to Infinite Series";

"A Certain Solution to the Seven Bridges Problem";

"Derivation of several issues that should be paid attention to when electricity and magnetism are transformed into each other in magic";

...

"A new element determined by a new method";

"The Eternal Question: Does Mental Power Exist in the Form of Waves or Particles——An Experimental Research Using the Magic of "Psychic Storm"".

…………

The way Lucien carefully opened the journal made Smile, Sage, Morning Star and other magic apprentices all nod secretly. This may really be an official magician. When he got the journal, he and others were like Smile. As I said before, I know every word, but when they are connected together, I don’t know them. The Hanged Man and Quicksilver still have doubts. After all, they don’t understand and try to read.

After spending half an hour browsing through it roughly, Lucien had a certain understanding of the knowledge contained in it:

"Judging from these formulas, the level of arcane art in this world may have reached the level of the earth in the middle of the 18th century in terms of mathematics and physics in just three or four hundred years. Calculus was initially established, and research on geometric problems such as curved surfaces and spherical surfaces has advanced by leaps and bounds. Mechanics and electromagnetism tend to be perfect, and because of the strange development of this world, many things are applied first and then researched, so some aspects of magic are beyond the level of earth technology, such as space jumping."

"Elemental magic, that is, the research level of chemistry, has already reached the level of the early 19th century. It has been determined that Earth Fire, Feng Shui is not an element, and the standard of elements, and the preliminary determination of atomic weight has begun."

"These are the research results of more than 20 years ago. Today, even though many problems like "the existence of planets" have hindered their development, the overall level should be at the level of the early 19th century, and chemistry may have reached the middle of the century. Degree."

Because it is the "Arcane" journal, Lucien read it more easily. If it is a journal that connects arcane research theory with the use of magic, you need to learn slowly.

However, Lucien would rather be that kind of journal, because he can guide his current magic learning to the greatest extent. Unlike others, his application ability is far behind the basic and principle knowledge.

After closing the "Arcane" journal, Lucien said with a smile to the magic apprentices who suddenly looked over: "I read it roughly, and there are many interesting things in it. I can put this journal in the past two weeks. here?"

"No problem, Mr. Professor, as long as you can answer my question." The sage said in an old voice, "Because this "Arcane" journal belongs to everyone, and you are here for the first time, so this guidance is not a private paper. Instead of using a pen for guidance, communicate directly so that everyone can hear it, is that okay?"

"I still want to test my level of knowledge, hehe, in this world, I'm a rare freak, let's see how you judge." Lucien replied in a strange voice, "Of course, sage, you can start asking. "

The sage took out a large stack of papers filled with words and numbers from a wooden box he carried with him, and asked Lucien to turn to the first article in the "Arcane" journal: "Professor, you said that you are better at Elemental and astrological magic, and I just have a question about astrological changes that I would like to ask you."

"When I got this "Arcane" journal, I was fascinated by the formulas in the first article. They seemed to perfectly explain the various trajectory changes on the astrological chart, but I was just a magic apprentice, and I got It is the inheritance of ancient magic again, can you tell me about these formulas and the above theories, how do they calculate the trajectories of stars?"

This question seemed to have been discussed in this circle of magic apprentices for a long time, and it got everyone's attention. All eyes were focused on it, and there was no sound.

Lucien heard that what he asked was about celestial mechanics, and said amusedly: "You have many questions, and I will only answer one, which is about the meanings and basic principles of these formulas. Do you want to listen?"

"Yes, Mr. Professor." The sage didn't expect that this mysterious man, who didn't know whether he was an official magician, could actually guide him, so he replied without hesitation, while Smile, the hanged man and others all nodded in the same way, After all, on the first article, the words "legendary magic profession" deeply attracted their hearts.

Lucien picked up the quill on the table and pointed to a symbol in the formula: "This is the symbol of the gravitational constant, and gravity is the fundamental principle of these formulas."

"What is gravity? When you jump up, you don't need flying magic to fall down. It's the force of apples falling naturally when they mature. These things are not appointed by God. Up, down, left, and right are never independent concepts, but relative. , it will only move in a certain direction when it is under force. When you see these phenomena, you should think more about why..."

Lucien explained the formulas in a superficial way, while Sage, Morning Star, Smile and others asked why from time to time in confusion, but Lucien answered them directly: "These are the basic questions of the principles of magic. If I need to explain to you Clearly, there must be many premises, assumptions, and relevant knowledge. If you want to start from the beginning, it is not a matter of a few hours, but a matter of several years or ten years. I will study it after I become an official magician."

In fact, Lucien himself is still in the process of knowing the conclusions of many things, not knowing the extent of the derivation process and proof process. While saying the above words, Lucien said silently in his heart: "The real reason is that I don't understand either!"

The words of Lucien made the sage sigh with emotion: "The world of magic is really vast and profound, and it contains the truth of the existence and operation of this world. I used to think that I had a certain amount of research on magic. Today, I heard your speech, Mr. Professor. After guiding and explaining, I realized that I didn’t even touch the door.”

Bai Mitang, The Hanged Man, Smile and others all nodded. Although the mysterious man "professor" only briefly talked about the problem of application, involving laws, theorems, etc., he gave a conclusion without explaining why this is the case. But just the meaning represented by the formula, the law of planetary movement, and how to apply the formula have given them a lot of benefits. When it comes to analyzing and constructing certain magic and magic circles, just thinking about it now makes it much easier.

After Lucien finished speaking about the general application of all the formulas involved in the article "Discussion on Several Issues Concerning the Failure of the Fifth Search for the Planet", the sage suddenly fell silent, and then picked up the quill suddenly, trembling all over his body. , calculating something on the paper, paying no attention to the things around him, as if completely immersed in the world of arcane arts.

Apprentices such as Morning Star, Reindeer, White Gloves, Mercury, Hanged Man, etc. who had studied astrological magic to a certain extent also got into a trance, took out a quill, wrote dense formulas and data on white paper, and began to calculate.

Only White Honey, Smile, and Oak Tree are better. They can only barely discern a few astrology charts in astrology magic, but even so, they can all feel that the content behind the application of the formula that Lucien just said , implying a vast and boundless, profound and mysterious magical world, where everything has the law of cause and effect, which belongs to the world of arcane arts.

"Professor, I have always suspected that you are not an official magician. Now I apologize to you and hope you can accept it. You are the magician with the most profound knowledge, the most kind attitude, and the best demeanor I have ever met. I even feel that , based on your knowledge of arcane arts and magic, you are not a junior magician." Bai Mitang is a female magic apprentice, she has rarely spoken before, and deliberately changed her voice to be hoarse like an old woman, but now, After apologizing excitedly, a little of her original voice was revealed, only a little low and hoarse, with a unique charm of women.

And what she said made Lucien, Smile, and Oak all hear an important message, that is, there is a magic circle behind Baimitang, and there are official magicians in that circle, but Baimitang This kind of magic apprentice often does not get the guidance of a formal magician.

Lucien replied with the sinister laughter characteristic of evil magicians: "I accept your apology. In fact, I don't care. No matter what others think of me, my knowledge and strength are all my own. There will be no discount because of other people's suspicion."

Lucien didn't ask about the circle with formal magicians, because from Bai Mitang's attitude, they don't know anything about the headquarters of the Continental Magic Council, and they don't have other arcane journals. Therefore, he is still a magic apprentice, since If you don't have the most desired harvest, there is no need to take this risk. It's not too late to go when you have enough strength. If you really want magic materials, you can use white honey to transfer them.

Seeing that other people were still addicted, White Honey, Smile, and Oak Tree began to exchange some magic materials. Lucien saw that he needed some, and used the experiment as an excuse to buy some with silver Gnar.

Almost twenty minutes later, other magic apprentices woke up one after another. The sage was the most excited. He stood up, put his right hand on his forehead in the manner of an ancient magician, and bowed deeply to Lucien: "You You are a knowledgeable mentor, you are a guide in the wizarding world, and I extend my sincerest thanks to you."

"Professor, your explanation of the formula has allowed me to solve the problem of determining the trajectory of the astrology map that has troubled me for many years, and has given me the hope of analyzing a ring of astrology magic. Please accept this set of magic utensils. You can choose any other items you bring."

The Hanged Man, Morning Star, etc. also expressed their gratitude to Lucien for his guidance and knowledge, and then another female magic apprentice, Quicksilver, stood up, saluted first, and then asked Lucien with a slightly changed sweet voice: "Professor Sir, can I ask you a question about elemental magic? I brought the black corpse mushroom you want."

There was strong expectation in her tone, and nervousness about being rejected.

Bai Mitang, Oak Tree and the others also looked at Lucien respectfully: "Professor, please guide me. If Quicksilver agrees, we would like to listen in."

Their respectful attitude was like elementary school students facing a strict teacher, which made Lucien feel emotional: "I am a veritable 'professor'."
