Throne of Magical Arcana

——Begging for a Sanjiang ticket, I'm about to be caught up.

……………………………………………………………………………………

Mercury has already taken out the black corpse mushrooms he brought. They are packed in a simple jewelry box. There are three in total. One is dark black and the other is light black, exuding a strong rancid smell: "Mr. Professor, this is your You can take all the black corpse mushrooms you want, as long as you guide me about this element."

The black corpse mushroom is a material needed for many magics and potions of the necromancy system. According to the records of the witch, she has participated in several magic gatherings in the hermitage of the family. The black corpse mushroom is about ten silver gnars each, which is equivalent to Lucien's The money that can be saved for a month without eating or drinking, and the darker the color, the more valuable, and sometimes the price is just a symbol, because this kind of thing is not so easy to find unless you cultivate it yourself. It is also possible to sell for sky-high prices.

Lucien held the jewelry box in front of him, judging from the color, breath, shape, etc., that it was indeed a real black corpse mushroom, so he nodded slightly: "You ask."

"Professor, why does the article "A New Element Determined by a New Method" in the journal "Arcane" use 'element' to describe the 'too' extracted from the sun stone? Isn't the basic element the earth? Is it fire, geomantic omen?" Mercury asked nervously and tremblingly, as if she knew that this question should be about the important difference between the ancient magic system and the current magic system, and it would overturn the elemental magic knowledge she had learned in the past.

Lucien huddled his hands in the black robe, pondered for a while, and then slowly said in a gloomy and hoarse voice: "Actually, I also learned ancient magic, but when I was learning, experimenting, and casting magic, I always felt a kind of Incongruity, and the confusion of knowing the conclusion but not knowing why it is the conclusion, so I often think about this issue. It can be regarded as some scattered and isolated ideas. Until I saw this "Arcane" journal just now, I saw these Some of my ideas gradually became clear in the articles containing profound and vast truths, like the vines found a big tree to cling to, such as the gravity mentioned in the first article, this is not because I have a thorough research on this aspect, Rather, this article just explained the answer to my thinking."

"So, I just told you about the application of formulas, not about the basic principles of magic. In addition to taking several years or more than ten years for you to understand and master, it's also because I barely understand it myself, and I haven't even learned it yet." Thoroughly researched."

Lucien gradually calmed down from the excitement of reading the "Arcane" journal and getting in touch with the magic circle. He realized that the official magician "professor" who pretended to be mysterious just now was too involved, and there was a big problem. As a The magician who was looking for the headquarters of the mainland magic council was able to understand and master the current magic system without any obstacles, know gravity, and know that earth, fire, feng shui are not elements, which are self-contradictory.

Although these magic apprentices can't see it, and the ancient inheritance magicians who may exist behind them should not be able to see it, and they will not be in danger for a long time, but if they are surrounded by arcanists and magicians from the headquarters of the mainland Magic Council I know, if the church who may have planted spies in the circle of magicians finds out, they will definitely doubt their identity, so Lucien hurriedly made up for it before the news spread, and molded himself into that kind of genius who is keen and good at thinking magician.

"It seems that when I encounter things, I still can't calm down to an inhuman level, and I will be careless because of emotions such as excitement and excitement. The strong and calm state of killing people in the sewer and facing dead bodies should be psychologically prepared in advance, and During this period of time, due to the maturity brought about by various experiences, I have developed my own potential, and I understand from body to mind that I must not be nervous in the face of danger." Lucien reflected on himself, and at the same time continued:

"The article "A New Element Determined by a New Method" doesn't have many formulas. It is a standard result-type magic experiment. Regarding the element theory mentioned in it, I can only briefly talk about my own views. You need to judge whether it is correct or not.”

Mercury's sweet voice has no restlessness or trembling, and it can be seen that she is not much worse than Lucien in terms of concentration and calmness: "Okay, Mr. Professor, if this is the case, then let the other companions listen, Well, you have to judge too."

If she is unwilling to disclose the magic materials produced by "mercury" for Lucien to explain and guide, it will be a private communication, and the important part will even use the "message technique". This passage is a bit disturbing, so I simply made it public to see how others understand it.

After Lucien made up for the mistakes just now, he stopped talking nonsense and talked about the element: "Actually, it started when the ancient magicians failed to find the four elemental planes in the inner layer of the material world that they imagined. , although the vast majority of magicians think that it is a problem of space folding and other methods, but there are already very few magicians who doubt the correctness of earth, fire, feng shui as elements. I have been affected by this aspect. I feel that Earth, Fire, Fengshui are not elements, but four higher-level, more abstract concepts."

"I haven't researched what it is, but judging from this article, at least the current mainstream within the magician should be to redefine the elements and discover new elements..."

The experiment in this article is to use the closed magic circle and the nine-ring magic "flame storm" to bombard the sun stone, a magic material. After it explodes violently, a pure, beautiful silver-gray crystal will appear, with hardness and flexibility. Sex is better than mithril, and relative lightness is also more than mithril. It is a brand new element and a precious material. It is named "too" because it is discovered from the sun stone.

While speaking, Lucien judged the progress of the magic world in terms of elements from this article: "It should be that there is a definition of elements, and new elements are discovered outside of conventional elements, but only from the description of properties and so on. From the looks of it, there are no regular or predictable things about the elements, but the properties of some elements are very different from the known elements on Earth, which leads to some magic being weird beyond imagination."

After listening to Lucien casually mentioning a few apprentice-level elemental magics and items and materials in daily life as evidence, after talking about the elemental issue of "Earth Fire Feng Shui", Mercury and other magic apprentices were silent for a while.

"Professor, I, I think you're right, I'm old... many problems I encountered in learning elemental magic, if you change to this explanation, it will be easy to solve, thank you very much!" Passed After a while, Mercury thanked Lucien with obvious emotion in his voice, and almost slipped his mouth.

The hanged man also said in a cold and strange voice: "Professor, can you tell me more about the elements? Is the soul also made up of some strange elements? Although there is no resentment in the magic materials and items I brought. spirit dust, but you can choose another one."

He seems to be mainly studying necromantic magic, but since there are no articles on necromantic magic in this issue of "Arcane", he can only ask questions about elements that may be related to necromantic magic.

Smile, Sage, White Gloves, White Honey and other apprentices finished talking about the elements in Lucien, and they no longer had any doubts about his identity. Instead, they firmly believed that he was the most knowledgeable and most understanding of magic they had ever met. Thorough and powerful magicians, although their research on elemental magic is not as good as Mercury's, but just the analysis of several apprentice-level elemental magic that Lucien used to prove it made them feel refreshed, and something seemed to come out vigorously in their hearts. At this time, after hearing the words of the hanged man, they all looked at Lucien with bright eyes and full of expectation.

Lucien shook his head: "I'm really not good at soul issues, so I can't explain them to you."

While speaking, Lucien put the three black corpse mushrooms into the small pocket he specially brought, and at the same time pulled the small wooden box containing a set of magic experiment utensils given by the sage to his side: "Which one of you still brings Are there black corpse mushrooms and wraith dust? You can ask questions, or let me buy them with money or exchange them for magic materials."

The water ghost brain tissue can be used for seven or eight experiments, and one experiment consumes one corpse mushroom. Of course, Lucien can collect as much as he can.

"Under the control of the church, black corpse mushrooms cannot be cultivated. They can only be found in the Black Forest of Melzer, so they are very rare. Except for mercury, no one else has them for the time being." It seems to belong to the leader of this magic circle. The sage explained to Lucien respectfully in a slightly aged voice.

He also participated in two other magic circles, but those official magicians were very proud, and they were not the items that really moved them, or their magic apprentices, and they never expected to get their guidance. When there are many arrogant magicians and mysterious "professors" who are willing to guide themselves and other magic apprentices, the sage is grateful and admired from the bottom of his heart.

There is also a white honey from the magic circle behind him nodding to agree with the sage: "Mr. Professor, if you need the black corpse mushroom for a long time, once I get it, I will keep it for you, but the ghost dust is more difficult to find. Formation, either in a unique environment, or in the presence of a tragic experience in front of the ghost, or strong emotions that cannot be let go, can be easily discovered and purified by the church. As for the method of using the blood of evil creatures to summon the ghost Biological blood is harder to get than wraith dust, after all, this is Artor."

"The black corpse mushrooms have been needed for a long time before my magic experiment is successful, and so is the wraith dust." Lucien was a little disappointed, thinking that this time, except for moonlight roses, which are monopolized by the church and nobles, he would be able to get together. However, this emotion was quickly resolved by Lucien, because this is only the circle of magic apprentices, "Okay, take out the magic materials you brought, if there is anything I need, I will be able to get a question Chances are, of course, that the value of the question depends on the value of the magic material."

Regarding the journal "Arcane", these magic apprentices really don't understand much. After Mercury asked the question about elements on behalf of himself and the magician behind him, the other apprentices could only use some of the things they usually accumulated. Ask Lucien about the small problems encountered in analyzing and constructing magic, and basically focus on the elements and astrological magic that Lucien is good at.

As Lucien solved these problems one by one, they looked at Lucien with more respect, especially those who had magic teachers behind them, or those who had been instructed by formal magicians two or three times, because the explanation of these problems And in terms of answers, Lucien seemed to speak more clearly and thoroughly, which can only be done with a deeper and more extensive knowledge, and in their hearts, knowledge is basically equal to strength.

But Lucien was very satisfied. Some knowledge that did not involve his own unique skills allowed him to get a set of magic vessels, three black corpse mushrooms, and most of the materials for casting spells and magic circles. Knowledge is equal to money" truth!
