Chapter 210

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 .

Of course Leandro could not stop this influential ninth-circle sorcerer, and he could do nothing but watch Raventi quickly jumping onto the stage, turning on the magic circle for presentation, taking out his downsized alchemical lab from his magic pouch, and then casting to turn it into a well-equipped lab of normal size .

“Ladies and gentlemen, please forgive me for interrupting the conference . ” Raventi tried to sound calmer, after all, the true result still needed to be double-verified by his own experiment, “Please turn to the last paper on this issue of Element . “

When all the arcanists present opened the journal and found the paper, Igna felt very nervous, and his heart was beating fast . He was afraid that Raventi was going to say that his paper was not qualified for being published on this issue of Element, but he could not understand why Raventi would do it right in the middle of the conference .

The arcanists found the paper titled The Periodic Relation between the Nature of Elements and Prediction of New Elements . Both Larry and Timothy frowned a bit, since they were the ones who reviewed this paper before it was published .

What did Raventi want to do?

At the same time, Larry turned around and took a quick glance at Lucien, looking meaningful .

Lucien was quite confused, feeling unsure as to what was going on there . However, with a second thought, maybe Raventi found a new element that fit his periodic table, and thus Lucien suddenly started to feel very expectant .

“Creative and well-organized as this periodic table may be, Mr . Raventi,” said LockLynn first, a level eight arcanist and eighth circle sorcerer, who was also a member of the Arcana Review Board, “its latter part claiming that there are mistakes in the measurement of atomic weight of the several elements does not make sense to me . “

And the other arcanists basically all agreed .

Seeing that all the arcanists had all roughly gone through the paper, Raventi said aloud, “Let’s skip the discussion over Termirick and the other several elements first, and please take a look at this . “

As he was saying, Raventi took out several bottles of purified element and started to measure the atomic weight of them with his own magic lab right in front of the arcanists present .

Although the arcanists were all very confused, no one wanted to stop an authority .

As the atomic weight data of a few elements were corrected one by one, Gaston, Overee, LockLyn and Lydia looked way more serious and they started to write something down with their quills, while other sorcerers now looked shocked .

It was not surprising that there might be mistakes in some atomic weight data, but the fact that the corrected data could be perfectly put into the periodic table of elements put forward by this paper was unbelievable .

Larry and Timothy rubbed their foreheads at the same time, feeling regretful that they did not finish reading the whole paper, and now they wanted the right ore to see if they could find a new element out of it following the paper so bad that their hearts were beating fast .

Ulysses stared at the periodic table in a daze . He just decided to give up working on periodic table of elements three weeks ago and turned to the topic that he just presented .

After Raventi’s forty-minute experiment, most arcanists started reading the paper in the hands carefully, however, they were still confused .

Ulysses commented on it first, “Mr . Raventi, your experiments are something, but even the corrected atomic weights could fit in the table, it’s not a decisively evidence showing that the whole periodic table is right, as there’s no evidence showing that the data of some elements, say, Termirick, is not right . “

“My idea’s that the measuring methods that we are using now are not able to report the accurate data,” said Raventi .

Overee shook his head, “This is just an assumption . “

Without the most direct evidence, most arcanists would not be persuaded .

Leandro for sure did not like Lucien, “I agree, Mr . Raventi . This is just a fairy tale from a level one arcanist . “

When Raventi was about to fight back, Harry, the budgerigar, came back with a magic container hanging on his neck .

Raventi grinned, “Ladies and gentlemen, let the experiment tell us the truth . “

Taking the Flashes out of the container, Raventi quickly purified the needed substance from them following the method suggested in Woods’ paper .

Then Raventi said to all the arcanists, “This is very similar to the mineral substance described in Lucien Evans X’s paper . “

Gaston, LockLynn, Garry, Ulysses and other arcanists had the feeling that something was going to happen, and they held their breath, watching Raventi put the pure substance in the spectroscope .

It was already dark outside, and that made the beautiful spectrum in front of all the arcanists even more clear and charming .

It was a beautiful spectrum that they had never seen, and the spectrum was like a cluster of fire, burning their eyes and hearts .

A new element was found! A brand new element from this world!

Raventi did not say anything, but continued his experiment to extract the white crystals .

When Raventi started to measure the atomic weight of this new element, every single arcanist present was waiting for his data .

“Atomic weight, 69 . 8,” said Raventi seriously . He had confidence in this paper .

All the arcanists looked down at the paper, and the paper wrote,

“The atomic weight of this aluminum-like element should be between 68 and 70 . “

It was like lightning to them, and more lightning bolts were arriving . The paper predicted everything from Raventi’s experiment . As arcanists who were qualified for the annual conference, they knew what this meant!

Their faces were burning, and their blood boiling .

Raventi literally shouted at the arcanists, “I’ll not waste my words on emphasizing how important this paper is . Now, who is Mr . Lucien Evans X? Where is he?!”
