Lucien's unhurried, neither humble nor overbearing attitude was expected by Felipe, and he showed an elegant smile: "I am not a humble person, and articles on necromancy magic are often published in various journals, but Being able to be famous by you, Mr. Professor, still feels a heartfelt joy."
When it comes to joy, his expression doesn't think so. As a genius who will be able to publish articles in the journal "Magic" at the age of 22, it is only natural for the "professor" to have heard of him. If the opposite is true, it means that his knowledge and strength level are not enough to enter the upper echelons of the Magic Council, so you don't have to be polite!
Felipe, as he himself said, is indeed not a humble person.
Then he changed the subject: "Professor, you are not polite and honest enough. We are all members of the Magic Council. Why do you still wear that ugly black hood? Such a petty attire is really not in line with your identity and status. "
Lucien knew that every time he said a word, he would increase the risk of exposure, but keeping silent was more suspicious, so he had to choose the lesser of two evils, and deliberately replied tit for tat in a hoarse and flat tone: "I I don't want to be pestered by you, Mr. Felipe, after returning to Allinge."
When he first used his "professor" status to pretend to be the person of the will of the elements, Lucien never expected such a great danger, even astrology did not give any hints. After all, everyone is "all" inside the Magic Council. As long as you find an opportunity to find out the identity of Sturk's contact person, your goal will be achieved. The risk and benefit are directly proportional. The only problem is that you need to use less musicians in the future. identity activities.
Who knew that this Mr. Felipe had such strong hostility and killing intent that Lucien instantly understood that the harmony within the Magic Council might not be as harmonious as he imagined: "In the future, without matching strength and corresponding information, the professor's Identity! Now it’s really up to the mountain to meet the tiger.”
But at this time, Lucien was already in a difficult position, and it was impossible to admit that he had disguised the will of the elements and the people of the Royal Magic Court of Holm just to obtain the exact identity of the contact person of the Sturk Magic Council. If you really want to be honest, you will probably be killed immediately by the hostile Felipe, so you can only go to the dark one by one, relying on your own response to find opportunities to pass the risk!
Sure enough, it came with malice. Felipe was not surprised by this, he pointed to the sofa next to him: "There are still ten minutes before the banquet officially starts, I really want to chat with someone like you, Mr. Professor, hehe, Viscount Karenldia, Don't you mind borrowing your study?"
"Of course I don't mind, I like the sparks of wisdom that stir up." Viscount Caronaldia leaned lazily on the window sill, and gracefully raised his red wine glass.
Lucien actually wanted to answer, I'm sorry, I don't want to see your face, I don't want to talk to you, but as a powerful magician who "represents" the will of the elements, now there is no excuse or reason to shrink back, so I can only be abnormal. Sit down calmly, leaning against the back of the sofa leisurely: "I don't know what topic you want to talk about, Mr. Felipe?"
Never the Council of Magic, the people, things, customs and circumstances of the Kingdom of Holm! I have no idea! There is no way to fool!
Please do not! Please do not! Please do not!
As if he heard Lucien's cry under the calm surface, the pale flames in Felipe's eyes disappeared, revealing deep black pupils, and a gloomy smile appeared on his sick face: "He is Cleveland, the second-ring magician who studied with me. "
He turned his head and introduced the middle-aged rough and strong man next to him, and then continued: "In addition to learning necromancer magic from me, Cleveland itself also has a lot of interest in elemental magic, especially since His Excellency Donald recently made a groundbreaking introduction to magic. After spectral analysis introduced the discovery of new elements and got the twenty-fifth 'Holm's Crown' ring, he even planned to write an arcane treatise on spectral analysis. But he still lacks a lot of theoretical knowledge in this area , I had to ask me frequently, so I took the opportunity to learn the latest and most advanced knowledge of elements, and became a little interested in 'elements' and spectral analysis."
After a pause, Felipe clasped his hands, exposing his left hand without the little finger. He looked at Lucien seriously: "I think Professor, you must have profound accumulation and insights in the field of elemental magic, so allow me to talk to you about this topic without judging my level of elemental knowledge. "
He said he was arrogant, but the expression with a slight smile showed that he was very confident in himself, and his research in this field was no worse than that of arcanists in the direction of ordinary elements.
Lucien concealed his sudden relaxation, discussing arcane arts and elements was much better than discussing the Magic Council and the Kingdom of Holm! Apart from the common sense that Holm does not have delicious food from Natasha, I don't know anything.
"Felipe didn't inquire about the Magic Council and the Kingdom of Holm. It seems that he doesn't doubt my identity at all. He doesn't think it's necessary to waste time on it!" After relaxing, Lucien began to speculate on Felipe's intentions. : "He didn't insinuate the purpose of my participation in the death banquet, but instead discussed the arcane. This shows that the latter topic is more important."
"Why is it important? He is a powerful necromancer. What important gains can we gain from discussing arcane arts in the elemental realm?"
"Could it be that he wants to test my depth of knowledge, or my arcane level?"
Having had experience in Alto's magic circle, Lucien quickly thought of this. Knowledge equals power, and perhaps even more so for young wizards raised in the style of the Magic Council! As long as Felipe roughly judges his arcane level, he can also speculate on his own strength range, and use it as a reference for whether to do it directly!
And to verify a person's arcane level, it is natural to discuss the latest and most trendy knowledge in the field he is best at.
"I really can't relax at all. Every word is facing the test of life and death." After Lucien guessed Felipe's purpose, he had a clear judgment on his situation and became more calm. A similar psychology inflated by the rich rewards of risk taking and daring. This encounter was a blow to myself!
"Fortunately, Felipe didn't discuss the construction principles and models of middle-level elemental magic. Otherwise, I can only pray for luck as I have only advanced to this stage. On the contrary, other people's arcane magic is basically lower than the magic level. I still have Solid foundation and deep knowledge."
Of course, the specific structure of magic will definitely not be discussed between two hostile magicians, because it is to enhance the strength of the other party! So the arcane of the empty theory is a better choice.
"Professor, is it possible that you don't know the arcane knowledge?" Felipe asked in a dangerous tone when he saw that Lucien was silent for a short time, and pale flames danced in his eyes. If the professor refused to answer, it seemed to mean that He has a guilty conscience, and a young magician who cannot keep up with the trend of the elemental field is limited in strength no matter how powerful he is.
And if the professor's strength is stronger than his own, then he will do it directly when he comes, and he will not have a good conversation with himself at all. It can become the current situation, which shows that the professor is also afraid of himself and doesn't know his true level. Therefore, he will definitely try first, instead of tempting himself to do it!
Lucien chuckled and said, "It just so happens that I have some research on spectral analysis. However, Mr. Felipe, I think it's best not to discuss it too deeply, because knowledge is valuable."
The chemical phenomenon of spectral analysis belongs to the content that Lucien has reviewed many times through the soul library, and the atomic knowledge required for its principle is barely understood. And it seems that the element (chemical) research in this world is still at the stage of not entering the microscopic level, and still rely on various irregular means to try to discover new elements. To use the old saying of Lucien in his previous life, it is "know what you don't know why".
Speaking of which, after he became an official magician, Lucien's soul library also underwent a little change, that is, the unlocked part of the sealed book happened to be the part with a lower level of knowledge in the sealed book.
Because he was in a dangerous maze at the time, Lucien had no time or leisure to discover this change. It was only when he actually started traveling and tried the astrological meditation method of a formal magician that he saw it strangely.
This probably confirmed Lucien's conjecture that the seal should be the suppression of the original power of this world, and only with the strength of his mental power and soul can he slowly contend and unlock it.
"Of course. Although I hate people with elemental will, but as an arcanist and magician with a good status in the 'Pale Hand', I still have a basic bottom line, and I will not spy on your research results, Mr. Professor." Fei Li The pale flames in Pei's eyes disappeared, and Lucien's relaxed attitude gave him a bad feeling. It seemed that the professor really had a high arcane level, and according to common sense, the magic level was often higher than the arcane level.
Lucien leaned on the back of the sofa and said succinctly: "The theoretical basis of spectral analysis is that the flame color and light produced by each element burning in the flame are different, but the flame colors will overlap and cover up the spectrum. No, the position and color of the bright spectrum lines after spectrometry are different and independent of each other, so it can be used to distinguish different elements and discover new elements... "
In a few minutes of simple narration, Lucien also listed several common bright spectrum line colors of the same elements as the earth - slightly different elements, Lucien has not done experiments and dare not speak nonsense.
Felipe listened carefully, interjecting a few words from time to time, and when Lucien finished speaking, he released his clasped hands and applauded softly: "Professor, your explanation is clearer than your Excellency Donald's treatise on arcane arts." , making it easier for others to understand.”
He was even more vigilant while laughing, the professor's arcane level is indeed not low.
Lucien took the opportunity to continue: "In fact, spectral analysis is more applied. To discover new elements, only mechanical experiments, experiments, and experiments are needed. But what we need to think about is why the spectra of each element are different? Why not? Overlap? Why are there spectral lines with different light and shade? This is the direction of arcane research and the original intention of Master Douglas to define arcane."
Felipe stopped applauding in a little astonishment, and Viscount Calentia forgot to taste the red wine that he put to his mouth. They looked at Lucien at the same time, when the arcanists of the Magic Council were still immersed in the When it was too late to think about other questions because of the joy of discovering a new element through spectral analysis, the professor actually asked the question that pointed to the essence.
"If we ask more why..." Felipe couldn't help but think of the deafening speech made by the Arcane Emperor Master Douglas, and the scene in front of him was vaguely like this.
The professor's arcane level may be higher than his own!
※※※
The gates of Karunaldia Castle were closed, the outside was dark and calm, and the time for the feast of death was approaching.
At this time, the tall and dark castle with steep peaks suddenly moved quietly. The towers on both sides of it turned into thick stone arms. With a light touch on the ground, the "lower body" was pulled out of the soil.
Then it maintained its balance, crept "hands" and "foots", sneaked and sneaked into the depths of the mountains, and gradually became invisible.
No wonder the location of the Feast of Death has remained the same...
