Chapter 210: Who’s Lucien Evans X?

Translator: Kris_LiuEditor: Vermillion

In Rose Garden, beside Swan Lake.

It was already the second half of the conference, and every speaker all received warm applause. After they gave their speech, there were rounds of discussion and comments from senior-rank sorcerers to further inspire the speakers.

After lunch, Larry’s study on Valence brought the most heated discussion so far, and after Larry, there were more arcanists waiting for their turn to take the stage, even if it was already four in the afternoon.

Stalwartly-built Ulysses walked on the stage and turned on the magic circle functioning as a projector for presenting scenes. He shared his most recent study with the arcanists present: he discovered that when he tried to created a new form of a fifth-circle spell, Gaston’s Poison Cloud, above a certain temperature, no matter how much the pressure was increased, gas could not be turned into liquid.

Many arcanists agreed that this finding was creative and could be of good instructional meaning. Although Lucien had knew this theory before from his original world, it was good for him to know that this principle also worked in this magic world, and Lucien was also very interested in how to apply this finding to actual construction of magic models.

At this time, a light-brown owl flew in from the window and landed on the desk in front of Gaston. Seeing that Gaston was too dedicated to Ulysses’s speech, the owl gently pecked at his hand.

The guardians outside did not stop Mathew, as it was probably the most famous ‘postman’ in the Will of Element.

Gaston was a bit amused by that, and then he gently patted on Mathew’s feather on its back. Then Gaston took down the several papers from Mathew’s leg and put them aside. He planned to handle the papers later after the conference.

Following Mathew, Raventi’s budgerigar also arrived. After circling two rounds above his master proudly, the budgerigar landed, also carrying several papers.

Then three more different birds brought papers to the other three members of Arcana Review Board present. However, all those arcanists were not in a hurry to review the papers, not only because reading others papers right in front of Ulysses was surely not polite, but also because they knew well that the review of some complicated papers could take months.

As Ulysses’ explanation of his research went deeper, the other arcanists got even more attentive, except for Raventi, the level nine arcanist and ninth circle sorcerer, who was the teacher of Ulysses, as Raventi had already carefully read Ulysses’ paper before this meeting, after the paper passed the review from the board.

So Raventi casually picked up the several papers brought by his pet bird, and started reading the titles of the papers.

At this time, a marked title jumped to him,

The Features of a New Element Discovered Based on the Periodic Table of Elements.

He frowned. As someone who once tried to find the law existing among the elements himself, Raventi knew what did this title mean: this meant that there was a Periodic Table of Elements that had gone through verification, and the table had led to the discovery of a new element!

Pulling out the paper, Raventi started to read it carefully. After a while, the look on his face suddenly changed.

Ulysses’ voice faded away from his ears. Raventi was shocked with this paper.

Even after he finished reading the last page, Raventi’s eyes were still focused on this paper. Then, he did his best to control himself as he turned around to ask Rebecca to come to him.

At this time, Rebecca was listening to Ulysses’ speech carefully, and she also needed to pay attention to what was going on in every corner of the hall. After being scolded by Leandro, she was even more cautious now, afraid of making more mistakes.

As soon as she saw Raventi’s gray eyes, Rebecca felt that she was struck by lightning, having no idea what she did wrong again. Then, she nervously walked to Raventi.

”Find me a paper titled The Periodic Relation between the Nature of Elements and Prediction of New Elements, from Lucien Evans X,” said Raventi short and directly.

This name again! Rebecca sneaked a peek at Lucien beside Lazar. Fortunately, the title of this paper did leave her with a bit of an impression, and it was simply because the title was pretty long.

”Mr. Raventi, you can find this paper on the last several pages on this issue of Element right in front of you.” At the same time, Rebecca felt relieved that her help was available right away.

Raventi quickly turned to the last article of Element, murmuring, ”It isn't always true that all the editors in Element are idiots.”

This comment was actually from Lord of Storm. Sarcastic as it sounded to be, this was actually a praise from this odd-tempered arcanist. Speaking of being odd-tempered, Raventi did not fall too far behind Fernando.

Rebecca was waiting aside, as the vice president did not ask her to leave. When she felt quite curious with the paper from Lucien Evans X, Rebecca saw Raventi’s face suddenly got even more serious.

Was anything big going to happen? Rebecca had no idea.

”If not taking the several atomic weights without accurate experimental data into consideration…” Raventi murmured again, then he quickly turned around and said to Rebecca, ”I need these several purified elements…”

Then Raventi listed a few that he did not have right now in his alchemical lab.

After that, Raventi commanded Harry, the budgerigar, ”Get several Flashes from Odonkor, the grandson of Gray Bear. Don’t be lazy… Make haste, Harry.”

”Was Harry ever being lazy?” Harry mumbled a bit unhappily and then flew away.

Although she did not understand what Raventi wanted to do, Rebecca still had to follow the vice president’s command. After asking her colleagues to take care of the conference, she hurriedly headed for the second floor above the main hall.

No one noticed what was going on there, as they were all listening to Ulysses’s speech very carefully.

...

When Ulysses finished his speech and his Q&A part with other arcanists, warm applause was given to him, as most arcanists felt that they learned a lot from Ulysses’s sharing.

Ulysses bowed to them, and left the central platform.

When Leandro was about to invite the next arcanist to step on the stage, he surprisedly saw that the vice president suddenly stood up and walked toward the platform hurriedly.
