Chapter 230 The Shocking Scholars, the Astounding Discovery
"Are you sure?" Diana looked at Ian suspiciously.
"Yes."
Ian nodded, his expression serious.
Seeing Ian's serious expression, Diana knew he wasn't joking.
So I quickly flipped through a few books.
I discovered that a small portion of these insights were merely conjectures, and most were related to witchcraft.
This kind of knowledge?
Diana raised an eyebrow slightly; otherwise, knowing Ian well, she would have thought he was playing her.
A few seconds later.
She slowly said, "Okay, the Silver Society generally requires at least three scholars to approve the submission of knowledge. Fortunately, there are currently three scholars in the Society. You'll have to come with me."
"Can."
Inside the Silver Society's "Hall of Insight," a circular white stone hall is bathed in soft light.
The various pieces of knowledge that Ian had submitted were placed behind the table in front of him, where the three scholars were now seated.
"Diana, are you kidding me? So many?" A fiery red-haired wizard stared in disbelief.
"You'll have to ask Ian about that," Diana said, glancing at Ian sitting opposite her.
"Ian, are you sure you're not joking?" Chahara looked at Ian, who was sitting opposite her.
"I'm serious."
Ian said.
He still remembered the wizard in front of him; it was none other than Chahara, the apprentice scholar he had met for the first time.
He published new articles in the past two years and advanced to the level of scholar. Now he has advanced to the late stage of the first ring. He didn't recognize the other person next to him. He was a slightly old wizard with heavy eye bags and a serious face.
"I learned that every document I use is not the ordinary stuff you find elsewhere. If you want to pass with me, it won't be that easy."
"He is Liam, a late-stage first-ring wizard, but it took him over thirty years to advance to scholar after joining the Society," Diana transmitted to him at this moment.
Ian's expression turned a little serious.
In his heart, he hoped that nothing would go wrong.
"Let's look at the first one then, the...improvement plan for mental power impact?"
Diana picked up a document and looked up.
Mental shock is a classic form of witchcraft. Not only in academies, but even within societies, there are many articles about this witchcraft. She doesn't know what there is to improve.
But after flipping through it, her gaze turned serious.
"Reduce the spellcasting pre-casting animation from three mental energy fluctuations to a single resonance." Diana pondered the method in the article, her mental energy subconsciously vibrating, as if the mental energy fluctuations had slightly increased?
wrong?
Something seems off, about 80 or 90 percent.
Adjusting this method of mental energy actually resulted in an improvement?
She was somewhat surprised, but the only thing that made her frown was that this vibration method was just a conjecture and was very incomplete.
It will take considerable effort to completely reform this witchcraft.
"I think it's okay, you can take a look." She handed the document to the two people next to her.
After Chahara finished reading it, he nodded. Liam read it once and nodded with some difficulty.
If it were a completely improved solution, he could find all sorts of problems, but what he had in front of him was just a conjecture, which had a certain degree of feasibility and was indeed not a problem.
"This document can be collected as Level 1 data, and it can probably reach thirty credits."
Diana said.
Although basic witchcraft is simple, the credits are actually not that low.
This type of witchcraft can bring greater benefits to the academy as a whole.
"I just didn't know these things..."
"7
Her gaze shifted to the remaining objects, and her expression turned serious.
Not only him, but the two people next to him also flipped through several copies and found that they were all kinds of speculations, and their eyes gradually changed.
In the blink of an eye.
Two days have passed.
The three of them put down the last book and then let out a long sigh of relief.
Too much!
Outrageous!
At this point, the three of them felt somewhat dazed.
There were nearly forty documents, almost all of which were speculations about various forms of witchcraft, and they all thought they made a lot of sense and were highly feasible.
"We're unsure about a few of them, but the rest are fine. There are thirty-five in total, including thirty-eight level one documents and five level two documents. You can get approximately two thousand credits in total!"
When Diana uttered that number, she felt a jolt in her heart.
That's an exaggeration.
Chahara and Liam, standing to the side, also seemed somewhat dazed.
"Two thousand?" Liam thought about how it took him decades to become a scholar, and looking at Ian not far away, he even wanted to lower his head.
Chahara stared intently at Ian, realizing he had underestimated Ian back then.
It's all just speculation.
He felt this was even more terrifying than several complete papers, which meant that Ian had a strong ability to identify problems, an ability that scholars sometimes envy more than their ability to solve problems.
At the same time, such wizards are often able to more easily launch wizarding projects and gain some support from the academy.
Thinking about this...
His lips even became a little dry.
"But such a large number of credits is beyond our control. I have to report it to the rotating academic scholars, including those with questions, which also need to be reviewed. You may have to wait a while."
Diana said.
"clear."
Ian stood up and nodded.
The term "great scholar" refers to someone of senior academic standing or higher.
"It's a pity I've used up my quota for this year, otherwise I could have redeemed it for you directly."
Diana said regretfully.
"What information?" Chahara's eyes lit up and he quickly asked.
"A set of Level 2 documents."
"You should have said so earlier, Brother Ian. I haven't used up my quota for this year yet, I could have just redeemed it for you."
Chahala immediately said.
"Isn't this a bit inappropriate?" Ian paused for a moment.
"Nothing's wrong with it. You must take this document. Consider it a gift from me. Just don't forget me when you're preparing to apply for projects!" Chahara said with a smile.
Applying for a project?
Ian was somewhat puzzled.
"Scholars can apply for projects, and the academy usually provides some funding once a project is approved. Many wizards rely on this to... obtain financial support," Liam added from the side.
You're just saying it's a lie!
Ian hadn't expected that wizards would have such a way to obtain funding.
This is a good thing!
And it sounds like this suggests a potential collaboration?
Thinking about how his skills needed to be improved, he immediately realized that this was a great opportunity for him.
If he could apply for many projects, he could deceive... and gain the college's support.
Wouldn't that solve his current funding problem?
He will definitely upgrade his alchemy skills in the future, and he even plans to forge some good magical artifacts for himself before he leaves.
At that time, a lot more funds would be needed.
I kept it to myself.
"I'll let you know as soon as I have any news, but don't worry, there's a high chance it will go through. I have a salon today, would you be interested in attending?" Diana invited.
"sure."
Ian nodded.
Diana is a seasoned scholar and a wizard from the House of Winters. She has a deep understanding of water elemental magic. Although she is not currently involved in it much, listening to her advice is definitely worthwhile.
Moreover, senior scholars usually only appear two or three times a year, and he didn't want to miss it.
soon.
He went to the society's salon.
Many familiar scholars were here, and the wizards were all gathered around Hugo.
That young wizard Ian had learned back then was actually a well-known academic rising star in the academy.
He has published two articles on the latitude and longitude of elements, and his work is also featured in the latest issue.
Upon seeing Ian, Hugo nodded to him with an air of arrogance on his face.
"What kind of skill is it to organize ancient knowledge? If you can't innovate, once you finish the Fire Emblem runes, there's nothing left to add."
Hugo was somewhat disdainful.
However, he didn't show it.
The other wizards saw Ian nod.
After Ian entered, Diana followed closely behind, heading straight to the center of the salon.
When they shared some research on the element of water, everyone instantly focused their attention.
Ian also gained a lot from listening.
"There are a lot of people here today, and I'm quite curious to see how you all feel about the listening. I'll ask a few questions randomly," Diana said midway through the session.
"Alright, Ian, you do it."
Diana pointed at Ian.
Ian was taken aback, but he immediately stood up.
Diana's question was very simple, just as I just mentioned, and he answered it easily.
"Okay, here you can have this notebook."
Diana said, "Fly to Ian with a notebook."
Ian accepted it, not expecting to receive such a reward.
The trainee scholars below were stunned; they couldn't believe such a good thing had happened.
Immediately, everyone's eyes lit up, eagerly awaiting Diana's next question.
But they were disappointed.
She didn't ask any questions as the salon ended.
The crowd wasn't stupid, and remembering that the two had come in together, they immediately fell into thought.
Is Ian getting on Diana's good side?
Hugo, however, frowned deeply.
He considered himself an academic star of the younger generation, and although he and Diana were both in the House of Winters, he did not receive such favor.
Does it mean they think Ian will become a scholar sooner?
But how is that possible?
He gritted his teeth, somewhat unwilling.
After the salon ended and Diana left:
He caught up with Ian in a few quick steps.
"Is there something you need?"
Ian looked at Hugo.
"I already have a paper ready to submit to this year's Element Latitude and Longitude, and after this, I will be promoted to scholar."
Hugo looked at Ian and said, "I will prove that I am the best among our group of scholars."
"Ian, in the end, results speak for themselves in the academy."
After saying that, he turned and left, never looking at Ian again.
"baffling!"
Ian shook his head, then turned and left.
soon.
After leaving the salon, Chahara was already waiting for him, holding a document in his hand.
soon.
Ian obtained the information without paying any price.
This made Ian even more curious.
How much funding do scholars actually receive for their research projects? Chahara is incredibly generous.
However, this will have to wait until his documents are approved.
back home.
Ian opened the file from Chahara.
Magic—Harmonic Self-Shaping.
As Ian perused the spell, he was surprised to discover that it was only a beginner-level, first-circle spell.
"Was it sent to the second floor because it was discovered in a secret realm?"
Ian guessed.
But this is good news.
This means he may soon be able to fully complete the meditation method.
"Let's start practicing."
Ian took a deep breath and began to peruse the book of witchcraft.
But the more I read, the more questions arose.
"Why does this witchcraft seem so well-suited to meditation?"
Ian raised an eyebrow.
Although he hadn't learned it yet, he always felt that this witchcraft and the Four Symbols Resonance Meditation Method had a unique compatibility.
Is it just my imagination?
Looking at the thin "Harmonic Self-Shaping" in his hand, Ian suppressed his doubts, closed his eyes, and began to use his mental power to outline the recorded "Resonance Rune" in his consciousness space.
Initially, everything went smoothly; the rune structure was clear, and the energy circulation was stable.
But just as the rune was about to take shape, Ian's mental field suddenly fluctuated uncontrollably!
Buzz—
It wasn't a violent tremor, but a strange, pulling sensation, as if resonating with some place.
It is a layer of runes in the Four Symbols Resonance Meditation Method that has already been condensed in the spiritual space.
At this moment, the two runes exuded an extremely strong attraction.
Like a key and a lock?
wrong.
"Or perhaps 'plugin' would be a more appropriate term?" Ian squinted slightly.
Concentrating his mental energy to observe the two runes, he discovered that they seemed to actually fit together at the edges.
"This feeling can't possibly be a coincidence; it's as if it were always meant to be!"
Ian was shocked by his idea.
How could "Harmonic Self-Shaping" be the same as the Four Symbols Resonance Method, coming from the depths of a secret realm?
unless...
"The Four Symbols Resonance Technique also originates from a secret realm!"
Ian squinted.
Suddenly, he remembered a problem he had discovered when he entered the secret realm.
That is, the black lines seem to be less.
He initially thought he had misremembered, but he has a photographic memory.
There is indeed a possibility that the black lines will decrease, and he encounters this frequently.
That is when he has mastered the knowledge and increased his talent points.
Could it be that the 100,000 black lines are also related to the Four Symbols Resonance Method?
"What exactly is inside that secret realm?"
Ian pursed his lips, the more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed, and it was something that could be verified.
He will advance to the master level after mastering the second level of the Four Symbols Resonance Method.
If we observe again, and the number still decreases...
So...
"No rush, no rush. Perhaps it's just because I can't see the whole picture from the outside."
Ian shook his head.
However, as long as "Harmonic Self-Shaping" comes from the Secret Realm, it means that the Four Symbols Resonance Method also comes from there.
It's not something outrageous.
After all, he already knew that some of the academy's knowledge came from the secret realm.
But this once again illustrates the importance of secret realms.
"The elite sequence must be secured."
Ian set a goal.
Whether it's for the potential knowledge hidden within or the advantage of quickly increasing talent points.
And just as he was thinking about it.
Suddenly, Kieran sent a message.
"Annual performance review, oh, it's been a year!"
Ian looked at the message and suddenly remembered.
It's been a year!
Time to go to the meeting!
