Throne of Magical Arcana

Last week, I pushed the list, please keep it ~

..........................................................................................

"The Ferryman" laughed and said: "Sturk's famous playwright Gerlos Astar, a scholar with six popular operas." He didn't care about the boatman in front of the boat, because it was also The core member of the Magic Council in Sturk.

"Magician?" Lucien asked slightly curiously as he thought about his apparent identity.

"The Ferryman" looked at Lucien sideways, with respect in his tone: "Yes, he is a shadow tutor."

Lucien was a little surprised: "Teacher?"

In the ancient magic empire, what can be called a mentor is at least a high-level magician.

"Of course, although he does not know the specific rank of Mr. Astar, he is undoubtedly a high-level magician. In fact, there are several similar gentlemen in Sturk, and they all have a prominent reputation. The identity is just to go out for a long time and take turns to return to Sturk. "The ferry turned his head and looked at the rippling canal water in front." The Parliament has more power in Sturk than you think, but they are like this The strong will definitely not shoot for trivial matters. "

"The stronger the parliament's strength in Sturk, the more secure I am." Lucian replied humorously. Although Sturk is important, there are a few high-level magicians sitting here, enough A description of the expansion of the strength of the Magic Council in the Rhine ’s discourse.

In the lively hustle and bustle on both sides, the sharp boat crossed the water like an arrow and turned into a quiet and beautiful city in Sturk.

…………

Jian Zhou stopped in front of a three-story villa with a large garden. Lucian and the ferrymen walked to the gate on the stone steps soaked in water.

"Mr. Tom, you're here." The guard who guarded the gate obviously knew the ferryman. Without asking much, he directly opened the iron gate.

Lucian followed the ferry with a smile. He didn't expect that he would give himself such a common and ubiquitous name, and he always reminded himself of the poor cat.

Ferryman—Tom walks through the garden and lawn, but does not care about the authenticity: "The more common the name, the less likely it is to be noticed, and for those of us who cannot walk under the light, we are Attention often means death. Hehe, Mr. Evans, you used the common name wisely, did n’t you? "

"In fact, sometimes it's safer to be paid attention to by others, such as Mr. Astar." Lucien looked around at this seemingly ordinary villa, and found no traces of magic.

Meow, a tiger-skinned cat with its tail erected, arrogantly and elegantly traversing in front of the two.

Suddenly it said in a hoarse voice: "Astar told you to go directly to the second floor. He is studying arcane and has no time to greet you."

The cat talked so suddenly, almost scared Lucien.

Tom replied with a little fear: "Yes, Ms. Mercedes."

Then he introduced Lucien: "This is Mr. Astar's favorite pet, er, mate, Ms. Mercedes."

"Hello, Ms. Mercedes." Lucian greeted politely.

The tiger cat snorted as an answer, and then walked into the garden beside it in a hurry.

When he and Tom walked silently to the entrance of the villa hall, Lucian looked back idly, and accidentally saw the proud tiger cat jumping around trying to catch a butterfly, playing very happy, without any Use signs of magic.

"Sometimes, humans are not more happy than animals." Tom said softly, then pushed open the wooden door.

Lucien turned his head and smiled: "But the wealth of life is not just about happiness."

…………

Under the sunlight, the second floor was transparent and bright, but when Lucian followed Tom in the corridor, there was always a feeling of being covered by shadows here. This feeling was somehow inexplicable, and it seemed that it was caused by the "sun crown" he wore. .

To a dark wooden door, Tom tapped softly: "Mr. Astar, we are here."

"Come in. The door is unlocked." A low, hoarse voice came from inside the door.

Pushing the door carefully, Tom turned to signal Lucien to go in together.

Lots of paper balls were messyly thrown on the thick gray carpet. This was Lucien ’s first impression of this study, and then he was surprised to see that there was a feather pen on the mahogany desk that no one was holding on the white paper. Writing quickly, reaching into the bouncing ink bottle next to it to get ink.

"Mr. Astar?" Lucian was shocked by this magical scene, and then puzzled, she looked around, but only saw the bookshelf full of books of various styles, but did not find the shadow tutor. .

Tom next to him bent down and picked up the paper ball on the carpet and put it in the wastepaper basket.

Lucien, who didn't find Astar, moved inwardly, learning curiously as Tom stooped down to pick up a ball of paper that was not crumpled, and saw the dense mathematical formulas and calculation process inside through the gap of the paper ball.

Since arbitrarily peeping at someone's arcane research is likely to cause terrible consequences, Lucien did not unfold the paper ball, throwing it into the wastepaper basket after a glance, once again affirming the basic role of mathematics in arcane research.

"Wait a few minutes." The low, hoarse voice just now seemed to come from every shadowy corner of the room.However, Lucien saw a silhouette in the shadow between the curtains and the desk, which constituted a gentle and elegant dark-haired man. After a cursory look, he thought he was a young man in his twenties, so he can look carefully. He would think that he was in his forties.

The dark-haired man sat on the recliner and looked at a book with a black hard cover. The shadows around him seemed to be written and counted by countless feather pens.

Lucien and Tom did not speak. After waiting for about ten minutes, the quill on the desk stopped and inserted into the pen barrel like a normal quill, and the shadow of the quill of the shadow disappeared completely. Earl's dark-haired man folded the book and turned to look at the two of them: "Welcome to you, new companion on the path of Arcane and Magic. I am Astar."

"Hello, Mr. Astar." Lucien saw the cover of the book while saluting. The bright silver and white lines formed two words with special meaning: "Arcane?"

Astar raised this book: "Have you ever seen the journal Arcane?"

"The gentleman who told me that the Magic Council was there once showed me an issue of Arcane" many years ago. "Lucien couldn't suppress her curiosity," Mr. Astar, can you show me Is the content of this issue of Arcane? Is this the latest issue of Arcane? "

Astar got up from the recliner with a gentle smile: "You are studying the ancient magic system, I am afraid it is difficult to understand the content published in the" Arcane "journal, but not the" Arcane "journal, and sure I ca n’t understand the various new ideas of magic in the Journal of Magic. ”He pointed to another hard-cover book with six-pointed stars on his desk.“ However, you are the only one in the last ten years. A magician who asked me to watch the "Arcane" periodical. Your good learning makes me very satisfied, so you can look at it casually, but don't hold the hope of understanding. "

As he said, he handed the Arcane journal to Lucien, and then looked at the ferryman: "Tom, what should this magician call?"

"He is Mr. Evans, a magician." When Tom confronted Astar, he was always a little bit restrained.

Lucien took the "Arcane" journal, turned to the catalog page, and the expression on his face froze suddenly, because the first article was: "A Complex Variable Function That Can Describe and Calculate the Mental Force Field."

"The Magic Council has studied complex functions so deeply?" Some of the books in Lucien's Soul Library that have unsealed seals have complex functions.But in the past, Lucien, who was not a math major or a physics major, learned this knowledge very hard. In addition, he believed that the Magic Council should still stay in the calculus reign stage in the late 18th century and early 19th world. The study of variable functions, so there is no urgency in learning. "The Magic Council has entered the stage of comprehensive development of complex variable functions? It seems that I must hurry to learn ..."

The complex variable function is a function whose complex number is an independent variable. A lot of achievements have been born in its research, such as the calculation of the planar field, such as the Riemann surface, etc., and Riemann later constructed the geometric surface space based on the non-Euclidean theory. It is the mathematical tool of Einstein's general theory of relativity, used to explain the relationship between gravity, time and space.

Seeing Lucien's frozen expression, Astar smiled and said: "It is normal to not understand. Since the great Arcanist Lord Brook discovered the relationship between electricity and magnetism and proposed the concept of electromagnetic fields, many people in the Parliament have begun Various 'field' studies, such as when we cast magic or sense around, mental power does not appear in the form of a separate line, but there is a spiritual force field. But I want to accurately calculate the intensity of each point of the spiritual force field, etc. , And we lacked mathematical tools, so complex variable functions appeared. "

"It's different from the appearance of complex variable functions on the earth. Demand determines the results of mathematics." Lucien thought thoughtfully.

Astar continued: "The shadow field I study needs to be changed. Well, discussing this latest arcane knowledge with you will make you dizzy. In short, when Evans arrives in Allinge, the council will give Your current basic book of arcane and magic allows you to transform from an ancient magician in two to three years. Of course, this requires your own efforts. I have seen many middle-level magicians who study ancient magic always resist now. The arcane magic and magic, the result did not change until he died. "

"The parliament gave me basic books for free?" Due to the pale hands, Lucien was very concerned about similar things, afraid of any undeniable demands.

"There is a little requirement, but it will not let you do dangerous things. The long-standing concept of the council is that magicians below the intermediate level are best to study and study with peace of mind. You grow up to give the best return to the council." Ah Starr replied in good faith, "Tom, you take Evans to the room on the third floor of the villa."

After telling Tom, he looked at Lucien again: "There are more than a dozen magic apprentices who have passed the exam on the third floor and sent them to me in the name of learning drama. They either have good spirits or good talents for arcane, I will go to the Kingdom of Holm with you at that time. If you are not afraid of embarrassment, you can follow them to learn the basics of Arcane now. "

Farewell to Astar, Lucien and Tom went to the third floor.(To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point (qidian.com) to vote for recommendation and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
