Throne of Magical Arcana

At the end of the first month (January), the cold still enveloped Allinge, but the dark green forest outside the Douglas School of Witchcraft and Wizardry remained untouched.

In front of a black iron gate with a pointed spire that was rich in ancient magic empire style, Woods eagerly asked the iron golem guarding the gate: "I am Woods of the" General Arcanist Monthly "and I am a friend of Principal Donald. I want to find Lucy Mr. Evans. "

"Neither Mr. Evans was present. They went to Luntat together. Which one are you looking for?" The Iron Golem replied in a metallic, human voice.

Woods froze for a moment: "There are two more? Well, I'm looking for Mr. X. Wait, didn't they all go to Luntat? When did they leave? What did they do? About what time can they return?"

In an anxiety, Woods almost followed the "thinking" of the Iron Golem, but fortunately he came to his senses in time.

His series of questions caused the red light in the eyes of the iron golem to flash continuously, as if it would explode at any time.

"Yes, they all went to Luntat. They left an hour ago. I don't know what to do. When I come back, I don't know." The iron golem finally sorted out the order.

An hour ago?Evans had already arrived in Luntat, and Woods annoyedly pressed his black top hat.Luntat is the capital of the Kingdom of Holm. Regardless of area or number, it is the top ten in the mainland. Without knowing what Lucien is doing, it is difficult for him to find people quickly-even if the "predictor" uses legend Astrology divination cannot be accurately located without more information.

"When Mr. Evans X comes back, please tell him, we" General Arcanist Monthly "want to publish his paper at the end of this month, please ask him to reply as soon as possible. If he is free, it is best to come to our headquarters one Trip. "Woods exhaled a few breaths in the chilling cold wind, and then stepped on the carriage again.

Renta, the second floor of the Oak Restaurant.

In the private room, Lucien looked through the window at the beautiful night with goose feather snowflakes floating outside, and watched the people coming and going in the heavy snow. The snow followed the snow, and some stooped to pick up the snowball ...

Sitting opposite the small dining table, Igna introduced by K. He is a fourth-level arcanist with two temples and a five-ring elemental wizard. He is tall and thin, and his facial features are particularly deep, as if the skin is wrapped in bones.

If K does not inform in advance, Lucien probably thinks that he is about fifty years old, but in fact, Igna is over one hundred years old.

At the age of seventy, he spent all his savings on an expensive magic ritual to continue his life and clear mind, and it seems that he can still live for many years.But his magic level is stuck in front of the high-level door for sixty years.

Igna's light brown eyes looked at Lucien and K, and raised his glass: "Cheers for our pleasant dinner."

After toasting, K took another sip of "Sky Blue" and then got up to go to the bathroom. It seemed that the amount of wine was poor and there were signs of vomiting.

Watching K's back disappear as the bathroom door closed, Igna turned to smile: "Evens, I probably scanned your paper before dinner. I have to say that the advantages and disadvantages are also obvious The value of the discussion. It is a pity that our issue of "Elements" will definitely include all the speeches made by the arcanists and magicians at the annual meeting. "

Just as Lucien wanted to fight for a few more words, Igna shook his glass: "But, K is about to become a disciple of Mr. Larry, and I have a very good relationship with Mr. Larry. Since he brought you to me, As a pioneer in the field of elemental magic, I had to do something. So, I plan to advise the editor-in-chief Mr. Ravana not to delay the valuable papers delivered by other magicians due to the annual meeting and let them wait hard. It is best to increase the length of this issue of "Elements" appropriately. Of course, there are still many difficulties in the adoption of the proposal, which still requires effort. "

Lucien's eyes lit up. In Igna's words, did he mean to prepare to include his paper in the additional space behind the "Element" journal?

But Lucian didn't rush, and quietly waited for Igna to finish.

Igna's eyes turned to the window, looking at the young people intersecting under the alchemy arc street lamp outside, and gently sighed: "This is the most beautiful stage of life, young is really good. Hey, I am old, I do not hope to rely on my own strength Hezhi became a high-level magician, and he could only turn to seek several magic rituals that can create miracles in the ancient magic empire. Unfortunately, the materials of these magic rituals are difficult to find and very expensive. "

After he finished speaking, he closed his mouth and tasted the red wine produced in the wine estate near Luntat, his smile still hanging on the corner of his mouth.

Lucian first wondered why Igna felt these unrelated things, but soon came to realize the hidden meaning in his words: There are many difficulties that need to be overcome, how can you not pay a price?

After thinking about it, Lucien weighed his tone: "Mr. Igna, sometimes as long as you are better luck, it is not difficult to obtain arcane points. Like my last new magic, it was because of the reference from the Grand Arcanist , The income is very rich. "

Ignor glanced at Lucien appreciatively: "Young people are always full of vigour and courage. Old people like me can't do it anymore. The crown stone is only three hundred arcane points but it can't be bought."

"I don't know if Mr. Igner would you like to receive my support? I don't want to see a former traveler stop by the money." Lucian said he was vomiting, but if he could "Element" is published in the journal, which is many times better than the "General Arcanist Monthly". Because of long-term exposure to various magic ores, there are many elemental and alchemy magicians who hope to discover new elements!

Igna raised a toast to Lucien, smiling gracefully: "Wish us success."

After K came back, it was nice to see Lucien and Igna having a great conversation.

…………

Perhaps Igna ’s efficiency is very high, maybe the “Element” journal itself has decided to increase the space, but he took the opportunity to take advantage of the opportunity, and when Lucien and K left the hotel the next day, the “Element” journal The notification of inclusion was sent to Lucien.

"Thank you, K. Without your help, my paper could not be included in the" Element "journal. This is an unimaginable thing for a low-level arcanist." In front of the platform, Lucian solemnly addressed K thank.

K scratched his head embarrassedly: "Even Evans, your paper is valuable."

Adhering to his own philosophy, K did not spy on the specific content of Lucien's thesis before the publication of the journal.

It is the arcane point that has value ... Lucien slanders, but as long as the thesis is verified by the magicians, this is worth the effort.

"K, don't you go back to school?" Lucien was ready to rush back to Allinge and continue her experiment of discovering new elements.

K shook his head, and Han Hou ’s face was slightly sentimental: “Actually, I ’ve left my job because Mr. Larry ’s response to my last paper was very good, and it ’s not far from Sanhuan, so let me follow him in advance. And it happened that my hometown in Granville County had some things in the past few days, so I took the opportunity to leave and prepared to go back to deal with it. At noon yesterday, I originally came to say goodbye to you. Seeing that your paper was rejected, I tried to help before leaving help you."

Glenling County is one of the more remote of the eight counties in the Hall Kingdom.

"K, you don't have to be so sentimental. Mr. Larry has been in Allinge for a long time. We can meet often. By the way, do you need my help in my hometown?" Lucien asked with concern.

K shook his head again: "A little thing, I can handle it easily."

"Well, K. If you need help, send the letter back to school." Lucien saw the magic steam train coming and waved goodbye to him. "Yes, re-measure ... the atomic weight of the other elements ..."

K listened at a loss to Lucien's last command, and decided to do these magic experiments when he had time.

"General Arcanist Monthly" headquarters.

"It's a shame, I didn't expect the" Elements "journal to find the value of Evans's your thesis." Woods' tone of voice was very close to what he said, with a strong sense of regret.

Lucian is grateful for Woods's attention, so she came to thank and explain the situation in person: "I'm sorry, Mr. Woods, if you know in advance that you will decide to publish my paper, I will definitely not go to Luntt."

Those three hundred arcane points are really painful!

"No, Evans, even if I am, I will choose the" Elements "journal. Your paper is only a bit worse than being included in" Arcane "." Woods did not mind authentic, "although" General Arcane " "The monthly magazine" has been getting better for more than a decade, but compared to the influence and status of the "Element" journal in the field of elemental magic, it is still much different. "

Lucien nodded silently. If you re-select, even if you need to pay 500 arcane points, she will choose the "Element" journal, because things are urgent, you can only choose the influential ones.And in the usual time, there is such a kind of "kindness of knowing encounter" in Woods. Even if the "Element" journal directly sends a letter of appointment, I am afraid that I will choose the "General Arcanist Monthly".

"Mr. Woods, if there is a chance in the future, I will continue to contribute to you." Lucien said sincerely.

Woods thought Lucian was a polite answer and smiled: "I personally welcome. By the way, Evans, I want to write my experiment of redetermining several atomic weights into a paper, which will quote the content of your paper, and just Published in this issue of "General Arcanist Monthly".

"This is my honor." Lucien replied with a smile.

Say goodbye to Woods and return to the school of magic. Lucian hurriedly told Rock and Jerome what kinds of atomic weights may be wrong and needed corrections, and wrote to Lazar to explain.

This is not just for them to "cheat" the points, but also to build momentum for their own periodic table papers.

Therefore, Lucien didn't let them do it until his paper was included in the "Elements" journal, otherwise their paper would be published first, but their paper could not achieve good results after a few months.

…………

On Friday night, Lucien, still unable to discover new elements from various magical ores, returned to the villa after a few hours of experimentation.

As soon as he opened the door, Lucien saw a letter stuffed in the crack of the door with the sign of the iron golem on the door signing, checking and forwarding.

"Who will write to me?" Lucien checked again and opened the envelope curiously.

"Dear Mr. Lucian Evans, although you are only a low-level arcanist, your research in the field of elemental magic is commendable, so we are at the last moment and solemnly invite you to participate on Saturday (January 27th ) The 'Elementary and Alchemy Magic Annual Meeting' starting at 9 am. "

Behind is the logo of Elemental Will and Holm Royal Demon Court, as well as the meeting place Swan Lake Rose Manor, the time was issued three days ago.

Lucien looked at this invitation inexplicably. Was the periodic table of papers received attention at the headquarters of the "Element" journal, which attracted the attention of high-level elements?(To be continued.
