Throne of Magical Arcana

Lucien nodded with a relaxed smile: "Yes. This unique magic is improved by myself. I think its principle and construction process are very interesting, so I want to write it as a paper and submit it."

"Do you know arcane?" Eric asked bluntly. He would never believe that a young man who was new to arcane arts could produce research results immediately, even if the other party was a genius! Arcane has developed to this day, without enough knowledge accumulation, it is impossible to bloom brilliant flowers!

Even if you are a genius, it will take at least a year to make up the foundation, right?

Lucien understood Eric's doubts very well. There is no genius on earth who can produce research results just after learning mathematics, physics, chemistry, etc. for more than a month, so he replied with a polite smile: "My unique The improvement of magic comes from other aspects, not the current arcane knowledge, but I think its construction principle should have certain value. Of course, I explored it myself, and I don’t know if it is repeated with the existing arcane research results. "

Lucien has always understood the principle of showing appropriate value and gaining attention from certain parties to fight against other forces. But when he first arrived at the Magic Council, he didn't know what level of arcane research the Magic Council has. It is impossible to blindly and arrogantly publish the results of arcane research without knowing how much it can be combined with magic in a different world, and without knowing the character of the magician directly related.

Only when he understands the current arcane level of the Magic Council, which fields have been researched to what extent, and conducts magic experiments one by one to confirm or modify them to suit the environment of this world, is the time for Lucien to emerge and shine.

Of course, published research results must have pre-existing knowledge and cannot be castles in the air, otherwise it will lead people to imagine beyond "genius". And it is necessary to be able to end the controversy quickly with empirical evidence, or once involved in controversy and intrigue, not having enough strength is like a candle in the wind, which may be blown out at any time. After all, most arcanists and magicians have emotions People who are sad and happy, greedy and generous, who love face and enjoyment, not to mention that there are many stubborn and narrow-minded people among them.

Hearing Lucien's answer, the doubts on Eric's stiff face faded a little: "Is it based on the principle of ancient magic structure? Then your research results have probably been overturned. If you are not afraid of trouble and disappointment, you can write a thesis .There is still 20 minutes before six o'clock, can you finish writing?"

"No problem at all, I have already written a draft in the format of the paper in the "Arcane" journal." Lucien looked at Eric seriously, "Mr. Eric, you haven't answered my question yet, this paper In addition to submitting to the review committee, do I need to submit to the journal myself?"

Seeing Lucien's confident look, Eric showed him the parchment with disbelief, and said, "Yes, after your thesis passes the evaluation of the 'Arcane Review Committee', you need to vote for it yourself. To different journals. However, since the parliament strictly prohibits multiple submissions of one manuscript, you must choose a good journal, otherwise it cannot be published or if the influence of that journal in this field is too low, your paper can only be awarded by the review committee. cannot obtain the cited part.”

"As for how to choose, let's wait until your thesis is approved." Eric obviously didn't want to waste his saliva.

Lucien didn't pay much attention to Eric's attitude, picked up the parchment and quill and was about to write. At this time, Eric pointed to the opposite room: "You go there to write, I may have a magician here to update the badge data. Remember, give it to me before six o'clock, otherwise you will have to wait until tomorrow."

…………

In the bright light blue room, there is a long table in the center, surrounded by chairs, and surrounded by magic circles of sights and sounds.

This seems to be the meeting room of the "Magician Management Department".

The room was empty and quiet at first, but now there was the rustling sound of quill writing. Lucien was concentrating on concocting his first thesis in another world:

"Exploring the Application of Sound Waves in the Field of Magic Exploration from the Little Bat Flying Experiment"

"Little bat; hearing; organs; sound waves; detection."

"As Mr. Douglas said, the material world we live in has too many phenomena that seem normal but are full of mysteries when you think about it carefully."

"Maybe everyone has noticed that the little bats are flying fast in the dark night, but how many people have cared about why they can fly in the dark without hitting any obstacles?"

The straight-to-the-point title, keywords and two simple sentences directly lead to the question of discussion.

Lucien is already very proficient in this paper format. The difference is that there is no need to write a Chinese and English abstract, which is written by ordinary journals for the use of indexed journals and newspapers.

The reason why Lucien proposed to write a thesis when he submitted the apprentice-level magic of "Scream of the Bat" was because the result of this improvement could be verified and completed by simple experimental design without involving the current arcane knowledge, and as we all know, the ancient Magic is to create and improve magic by researching and simulating the magic patterns and structures of magical creatures. The "scream of the bat" happens to be in the same line, but now the object has become an ordinary creature.

That being the case, why waste the arcane points that the thesis might get?

As for the experiment, Lucien has not done it yet, but it is relatively easy to reverse the process and concoct the data if the result is correct.

"Accidentally, I noticed this, caught a small bat, blindfolded it and let it fly, surprisingly, the bat was unaffected."

Followed by two groups of controlled experiments, one group blindfolded the eyes of bats with different materials, including magic materials, to prevent their eyes from being able to see through ordinary cloth strips. Another group tested the condition of the bat's eyes by responding.

"It's unbelievable that this type of bat is close to blind, so how do they 'see' the road?"

Next, there were several sets of controlled experiments, which ruled out the causes of wings and mental power.

The last set of experiments was to destroy the bat's ear and snout structure respectively, and it was concluded that it judged position and flight by "listening" to the sound wave reflection from the snout and nose organs.

After finishing the part of the exploration experiment, it is the process of improving the apprentice-level magic of "Scream of the Bat" through many experiments through the sonic magic of "Homanz's Choking".

Because this was actually done by Lucien himself, it was very easy to write. The only problem is to modify some links so that it is impossible to see that Lucien was indeed a high-frequency sound wave from the beginning.

After finishing the text, Lucien wrote: "Because the bat's snout structure and brain structure are complex, I can't imitate it with my knowledge and ability. I can only use it as a spell-casting material to release this apprentice-level magic."

...

"I hope my experiment can enlighten everyone on the application of different frequency sound waves in magic."

After reading the paper carefully, and feeling that there was no problem, Lucien wrote down the specific model, incantation and spell-casting material requirements of the apprentice-level magic "Scream of the Bat" on another piece of parchment. Submitted as new magic.

After sorting out the parchments, Lucien looked at the wall clock in the meeting room, it was only ten past five: "Hehe, it took less than thirty minutes to prepare a paper, and I only hope that the Magic Council will There is no similar research."

Lucien has a lot of confidence in this aspect, because there is no similar apprentice-level magic in the basics of arcane and magic that Annick and the others have learned. Even if someone has done similar research, reducing its requirements to apprentice-level magic is still an improvement.

Opening the door of the conference room, Lucien first saw Lazar pacing back and forth in the corridor.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Lazar turned around abruptly, and asked eagerly, "Evans, I heard Mr. Eric say that you are writing a thesis?"

"Yeah, but I just wrote down a magic idea I improved." Lucien smiled and looked at Lazar calmly. "Didn't you write a paper when you improved the Burning Hand?"

Lazar was stunned, forgot the question, and replied subconsciously: "I wrote it. But it is difficult for this kind of paper to follow other people's ideas and slightly change the magic to be evaluated by the review committee, so there are only points rewards for new magic."

"I'm the same as you, just give it a try." Lucien took Lazar's words and replied with a smile.

Lazar nodded earnestly: "That's it... Wait, how long have you been exposed to arcane arts, and you can actually improve magic? How many books and treatises on arcane arts and magic have you read?" He was almost bluffed by Evans. Get over it.

"Ancient magicians are also improving their magic." Lucien knocked on Eric's office door while speaking.

Lazar let out a long "Oh": "Then Evans, you'd better not have too much hope."

After getting Eric's answer, Lucien and Lazar walked into the office and handed him the paper and the new magic parchment.

Eric looked at the weight of the parchment in his hand, and nodded slightly: "Evans, you really have a draft, otherwise it would be difficult to finish writing so much in such a short period of time. By the way, what kind of magic is it. "

"Sound waves." Lucien answered succinctly.

Eric picked up the quill, wrote the word "sonic" on the front of both documents, put them in the iron cage, and then rang the bell three times

Clinking, milky white light emerged, and when everything subsided, the parchment in the iron cage was gone.

"Evans, I think you'd better be mentally prepared. Your thesis may not pass the evaluation of the review committee. But as long as the new magic is not exactly the same, it should be able to get arcane points." Eric sat down again , briefly introduced Lucien, and then he took out the pocket watch from his breast pocket, "It's 5:10, and you can get feedback at about 5:40, you go to the lobby outside to rest, and come back when the time comes. "

…………

On the fifteenth floor of the magic tower, in a spacious and bright room.

Bells rang from time to time, and the extremely complicated magic circle flashed milky white light, and then documents appeared inside.

The whole house was empty, but two arms suddenly grew out next to the magic circle to pick up the documents one by one:

"Elements, turn to Mr. Lavender, Mr. Gaston."

"Undead, turn..."

With the sound of metal texture, the documents fell into different parts of the magic circle.

According to the regulations of the Magic Council, members of the highest council cannot concurrently serve as members of the "Arcane Review Committee", but they can serve as special advisors. When the committee members are unable to review and evaluate a certain paper and new magic, it can be handed over to them.

For general papers, it is handed over to two committee members in the field, each making independent judgments. When the evaluations are similar, take the average value. If the conclusion is opposite or the gap is too large, it will be handed over to the third gentleman for judgment. If there is always a contradiction, a small meeting of committee members in the field will be held to discuss and decide.

"Sonic magic? First transfer to the magic exchange room to confirm whether it is a new magic and whether it can be released, and then transfer to Mr. Garfield and Mr. Jeffrey."

"The same paper on sonic magic? Directly forward it to Mr. Garfield and Mr. Jeffrey."

Rays of light flashed and disappeared from time to time.
