In Douglas's demiplane magic tower.
Reading the latest issue of Arcana, Artil burst into laughter. "It's true! It's true! It's true! Too bad I wasn't in Brook's lab at that time, so I didn't see his face. He must have been so shocked and desperate! What's more, his cognitive world didn't collapse like that idiot Lauren, or I'd wake up laughing in my dreams! "
Artil was overjoyed. He did not try to hide his feelings at all.
Norman felt Artil's arrogance and couldn't help but cough a few times. No wonder Artil was known as the "Mad Dog".
Norman's face was a bit pale. It seemed that his soul was hurt after he used Douglas' lab to verify the conclusion of the journal. In order to find the location of the mysterious space, the legendary sorcerers of the Congress of Magic were all out, and they often went out. Therefore, although Douglas was very concerned about the verification of the light quantum hypothesis, he did not improve the magic circles faster than Lauren did. However, after reading the experiment design provided by Arcana, it only took him half an hour to complete the final modification.
Luciana was smiling. She had never felt so happy before. However, she was not as arrogant as Artil. "Lucien Evans is indeed the most promising young arcanist to become a grand arcanist. His light quantum hypothesis is really from an angle that we, the supporters of the particle theory, can never imagine. I'm starting to like the quantum hypothesis. Maybe the world is really discontinuous …"
"If the world is discontinuous, what about calculus?" Artil looked at Luciana with hatred and scolded her. Although he had given fifty thousand arcana points to Lucien, which was used by Lucien to pay off the loan from the Lord of Storm, it did not mean that he had completely accepted the quantum hypothesis. In his opinion, the quantum hypothesis was just a variant of the particle theory, and it had nothing to do with the discontinuity of the world. "There must be something wrong with the quantum hypothesis. We have to change it. Even if Lucien was standing right in front of me, I would still say the same thing!"
Luciana was just trying to express her joy. She used "maybe" and "maybe" as the prefixes, but Artil still looked at her with hatred. Luciana's face darkened, and she cursed in her mind, "Crazy dog!"
Artil did not care about Norman and Luciana's attitude at all. He picked up a piece of information and read it. Then he burst into a gloating laugh, "Lauren, Kristel … One archmage, three senior-rank sorcerers, twenty-seven middle-rank sorcerers, and more people whose cognitive worlds were broken and solidified. Those damn supporters of the wave theory finally got what they deserved! Back then, when they were flaunting their victory, did they ever expect this day to come? When Brook stepped on blood and brains to ascend to the throne of grand arcanist, did he ever think that his cognitive world would be broken and solidified? "
The hatred in his heart seemed to be deeper than anyone could imagine. Even though Luciana was also a supporter of the particle theory, she could not help but frown. They were both sorcerers of the congress, and they were already dead. Was it necessary to use such a cursing tone?
Norman's face was already filled with anger. He was about to argue with Artil, but his face froze and he said respectfully, "Master."
Douglas had already walked down from the upper floor of the magic tower. He frowned slightly and said to Artil, "Mind your manners. The double-slit interference phenomenon of light cannot be explained by the light quantum hypothesis. We have to be humble and cautious. Those who died were all our companions on the path of magic. Maybe they had some disputes, but they were all united against the outside world and strengthened the congress together."
"Yes, master." Artil stopped smiling and said, "Thanks to Lucien Evans. It's a pity that he couldn't directly complete the precise experiment three years ago. I wonder how he feels now. What is he working on now? "
"I heard that Lucien Evans is imitating the bombardment of particles by the Lord of Storm," said Norman. As a member of the Affair Committee, Norman was in charge of the Magic Engineering Department. Therefore, he knew that the Magic Research Committee had mobilized senior-rank sorcerers to help Lucien reconstruct the Atom Institution.
Douglas slightly nodded and said, "Fernando brought Lucien here. He's probably working on something. You can ask him. Norman, if you don't feel comfortable, you can go back. Don't force yourself to see him. "
Norman looked a bit gloomy, "Anyway, the experiment results speak for themselves."
"What a coincidence. I was going to thank him in person and talk to him." Luciana was both surprised and delighted.
She had been using the light quantum hypothesis to improve her own meditation method, Mental Particle, and had accumulated a lot of problems. Some of them could be consulted by her teacher, Douglas, and some of them could be discussed with the person who proposed the light quantum hypothesis.
Artil looked very excited, "I have to ask him if he has any other ideas to subvert the wave theory. We have to follow up the victory and overthrow the wave theory completely!"
And send most of the sorcerers above the middle-rank to hell? Luciana glanced at Artil. She did not like such a radical thing.
After a few minutes, Lucien, wearing a black double-breasted suit and a monocle, followed the Lord of Storm into the small living room.
"You have another achievement? Do you need my help? "Douglas saw the thick paper in the Lord of Storm's hand.
Fernando directly threw the paper to Douglas, "Lucien's' New Alchemy '. You can read it yourself."
He glanced around with his red eyes. Artil, Norman, and Luciana all stepped back subconsciously, not daring to use their spiritual power to check the content of the paper.
Seeing Fernando's reaction, Douglas put away the gentle look on his face and started to read the paper attentively and doubtfully.
As he read, Douglas opened his mouth and raised his right hand, as if he wanted to use a gesture to strengthen his tone. However, he held back and continued reading.
Time ticked by, and soon, two hours had passed.
Although Artil, Norman, and the other sorcerers often did experiments for two or three days at a time, waiting like this was quite torturous. In order not to disturb Douglas, they did not dare to say anything. They did not even use Secret Message or Telepathic Bond.
When the ancient Magic Empire was destroyed, Douglas was already an archmage. The relationship between teacher and student was deeply influenced by the past. He could be kind to his students, but his students had to be respectful to him.
Douglas put the paper on the walnut table next to him, closed his eyes, and meditated for half an hour. It seemed that he was simulating something in his cognitive world.
"In the past, we were always accused by the Church of blaspheming the glory of God and trying to step into the forbidden area of God. However, we all knew that we were just stripping off the holy coat of some things, and we were still far away from the Church's accusation. But now, based on the theoretical system of your paper, it seems that I'm standing in front of the forbidden area of God, and I'm only waiting for the experiment to prove it. This time, we can live up to the Church's accusation. "
Douglas said seriously, "However, everything has to be based on the result of the experiment. Your theoretical system can only be fully evaluated after the discovery of neutrons, the change of elements by high-energy bombardment, and your prophecies are all realized. This is the stage that every grand arcanist after me has gone through when they come up with their theoretical systems."
Only after his theoretical system was deeply rooted in people's minds did the title of grand arcanist come into being.
When Douglas was talking, he looked a bit excited. What was close to the truth of the world? What was discovering the mystery of magic? This was it!
The power of creation was one of the sorcerers' greatest pursuits, but they had never been so close to it before!
If human beings could do things that only God could do, then what was the meaning of God's existence?
"What? Grand arcanist? God's forbidden zone? "Artil asked excitedly.
Douglas took a look at Fernando and saw him nodding slightly. So, he decided not to keep it a secret from his student anymore. After all, Lucien was about to submit his paper. "Lucien's new alchemy, the theoretical system of 'understanding the mystery of matter and controlling the power of creation', is a theoretical system that can change the era."
"What?" Norman's mouth was slightly open. He could not believe what he just heard.
Luciana's tiredness and irritation due to the long wait were gone. She looked at Douglas and the paper in his hand with her red eyes, and then she turned to look at Lucien who was calm and reserved. Was there going to be another grand arcanist in a few years? A grand arcanist under thirty or forty years old?
Looking at Lucien who was handsome, quiet and gentle, she found it hard to believe that such a man could control the power of creation.
She suddenly understood the mentality of the clerics. They could never accept that the God in their mind was a "human being" just like them!
Artil shook his head even more excitedly than when he mocked the supporters of the wave theory of resentment, "No, it's impossible. How can he really step into the forbidden zone of God?"
As if he had lost his mind, he rushed to Douglas and picked up Lucien's paper.
When Fernando was about to stop him, he saw that Douglas slightly frowned and shook his head, so he decided to wait and see. Lucien, on the other hand, felt that he had figured out something.
"Protons … Neutrons … Electrons … You dare to claim that you can control the power of creation and analyze the mystery of matter without any experimental proof?" Artil looked at Lucien with a twisted face.
Lucien answered calmly, "As for the existence of 'protons', if you don't believe me, we can go to Mr. President's lab and repeat it. The prediction of neutrons can be made from the data of atomic weight, the mass of protons, the mass of electrons, and so on. Logically speaking, they should be self-consistent."
"Okay, let's do the experiment!" Artil picked up the paper and turned around. Then he saw Lucien following him unhurriedly.
Lucien nodded confidently, "Okay, I'll confirm it with two experiments. Also, the traces of the new elements in the radioactive matter should be easily found now. "He was referring to Hathaway's Homecoming.
Norman and Luciana were completely confused by the change. They did not know why Artil doubted Lucien's experiment so much. Did he hate people like Brook, who had become a grand arcanist at such a young age?
"It must be a fake experiment. It must be …" Artil saw that Lucien was so confident, and the experiment design in the paper was real and reliable. Finally, he showed a doubtful look on his face, "How can it be possible? How can we enter the forbidden zone of God?"
Lucien's eyes lit up. He saw a holy light shoot out from Artil's body. It was so bright and clear that it devoured everything.
The power spread out, but Douglas, who had been prepared for it, suppressed it.
Brilliant fireworks fell from the sky. It was so beautiful that it made people's hearts palpitate. Looking at this scene, Lucien's premonition was finally confirmed.
"Artil, the 'Mad Dog', is definitely not a mad dog …"
"No wonder he challenged the wave theory twice in a row …"
"If he was really so stubborn about the particle theory, his head should have exploded years ago …"
