The moon/month of outset( in January/one month) the end of the month, covers the Allyn hardship coldly as before, but outside the Douglas magic school dark green forest does not have the least bit to be on the wane as before. 起始之月(一月)的月末,寒冷依旧笼罩阿林厄,但道格拉斯魔法学校外面的墨绿色森林依旧没有半点凋零。 Before bringing the apex of rich ancient magic empire style is hollowing out the black iron gate, Woods urgently to the iron demon resembles of guarding a gate inquired: „I am «Ordinary Arcanist Monthly publication» Woods, with Principal Donald is the friend, do I want to seek for Lucien? Mr. Evans.” 带着浓郁古代魔法帝国风格的尖顶镂空黑色铁门前,伍兹急切地向守门的铁魔像询问:“我是《普通奥术师月刊》的伍兹,与唐纳德校长是朋友,我想寻找路西恩？伊文斯先生。” „Two Mr. Evans are not, they went to Rentato together special. Do you look for which?” Iron demon likely with being full of metal sense of reality, no one sound reply of taste. “两位伊文斯先生都不在,他们一起去了伦塔特。您找哪位？”铁魔像用充满金属质感、没有人味的声音回答。 Woods gawked: „Two? Em, I look for X gentlemen. Wait, didn't they go to Rentato special? When leaves? What makes? Several can probably points come back?” 伍兹愣了一下:“还有两位？恩,我找X先生。等等,他们不是都去了伦塔特吗？什么时候离开的？去做什么？大概几点能够回来？” Desperate, Woods almost following iron demon alike „thought” talked, awakened fortunately promptly. 情急中,伍兹差点跟着铁魔像的“思维”进行对话,还好及时醒悟了过来。 His a chain of issue makes in the iron demon eyes the red ray keep glittering likely, as if will explode at any time. 他一连串的问题让铁魔像双眼里红色光芒不停闪烁,仿佛随时会爆炸。 „Yes, they went to Rentato special, before one hour, leaves, does what me not to know when comes back me not to know.” The iron demon cleared off the order likely finally. “是的,他们都去了伦塔特,一个小时前离开的,去做什么我不知道,什么时候回来我也不知道。”铁魔像终于理清了顺序。 Before one hour ? Evans had arrived in Rentato special, Woods a little pressed oneself black Top Hat annoyingly. Rentato especially is the capital of Holm kingdom, regardless of area or population, for mainland first ten, without knowing Lucien makes anything, he speedily found person very much difficultly-, even if asked „Prophet” to use the Legendary astrology divination, without multi-information is unable to locate accurate. 一个小时前？伊文斯早就抵达了伦塔特,伍兹有点懊恼地按了按自己的黑色高礼帽。伦塔特是霍尔姆王国的首都,无论面积还是人数,都为大陆前十,在不知道路西恩去做什么的情况下,他很难迅速找到人-即使求“预言者”使用传奇占星术占卜,在没有更多信息的情况下也无法精准定位。 „Waits for Evans? X gentlemen come back, trouble you to pass on to him, our «Ordinary Arcanist Monthly publication» wants to publish his paper in end of the month this period, asking him to reply as soon as possible. If he has free time, is best our headquarters.” In the ice cold piercing cold wind, Woods puts out several white clouds, then steps the carriage. “等伊文斯？X先生回来,麻烦您转告他,我们《普通奥术师月刊》想在月底这期就登载他的论文,请他尽快回复。如果他有空,最好来我们的总部一趟。”冰寒刺骨的冷风中,伍兹吐出几口白气,然后重新踏上马车。 ............ ………… Rentato special, oak tree restaurant two. 伦塔特,橡树餐厅二层。 In outside the passenger compartment, Lucien looks beautifully is fluttering the goose feathers snowflake by the window at night, looks that these people who come and go in Daxueli, some of them are hurried, some lose headway shoulder to shoulder, some still have a childlike innocence then the snowflake, some bend the waist to pick up the snowball...... 包间里,路西恩透过窗户看着外面飘着鹅毛般雪花的美丽黑夜,看着那些在大雪里来来往往的人们,他们有的匆匆忙忙,有的并肩慢行,有的童心未泯地接着雪花,有的弯腰拾起雪球…… Ignarro who opposite of the small-scale table sits the K introduction, he is two temple a little graying four levels of Arcanist and five points of element masters, is high and thin, the facial features are especially profound, as if handbag bone. 小型餐桌对面坐着K介绍的伊格纳,他是一位两鬓有点斑白的四级奥术师、五环元素法师,高而瘦削,五官尤其深刻,仿佛皮包着骨头。 If K does not inform in advance, Lucien thinks probably he is about 50 -year-old gentlemen, but in fact, Ignarro already over is 100 years old. 如果K不预先告知,路西恩大概会以为他是五十岁左右的先生,可实际上,伊格纳已经超过一百岁。 He spent all savings to depend on some expensive magic ceremony to continue the life and sober mind at age 70, moreover seems like can also exactly many years. However enough 60 years of his magic rank card before high rank gate. 他在70岁时花费所有积蓄靠着某个昂贵的魔法仪式延续了生命和清醒的头脑,而且看起来似乎还能活很多年。不过他的魔法等级卡在高阶的门前足足六十年了。 The Ignarro light brown eyes observed the situation Lucien and K, holds up the wine glass: „Toasts for our happy dinners.” 伊格纳浅褐色的双眼环视了路西恩和K一眼,举起酒杯:“为我们愉快的晚餐干杯。” After cheering, K sipped mouth „sky blue”, then sets out to go to the washroom, as if the alcohol capacity is very bad, has the sign of vomit. 干杯之后,K又抿了口“天蓝”,然后起身前往洗手间,似乎酒量很差,有呕吐的迹象。 Looks that the K back vanishes with closing up of washroom gate, Ignarro turns the head with a smile: „Evans, before the dinner, I glanced over your paper probably, has saying that the merit and shortcoming equally are obvious, have the excellent discussion value. What a pity is, our issue of «Element» periodical determined that will include the paper that in the annual meeting all Arcanist and Sorcerers spoke.” 看着K的背影随着洗手间门的合拢而消失,伊格纳含笑转头:“伊文斯,晚餐前我大概浏览了一下你的论文,不得不说,优点和缺点都同样明显,具备极好的讨论价值。可惜的是,我们这期的《元素》期刊确定将收录年度会议上所有奥术师、魔法师们发言的论文。” Before Lucien wants to strive for several again, Ignarro is swaying the wine glass: „But, K will soon become the disciple of Mr. Larry, but I and Mr. Larry relate excellently. Since he leads you to look for me, I as the forerunner of element magic domain, have to make anything. Therefore, I planned that to editing Lavoye that mister suggested that cannot, because the annual meeting postpones the valuable paper that other Sorcerers delivers, making them wait for agonizingly, best appropriately to increase the current period «Element» length. Naturally, suggested whether to be accepted, many difficulties, but also needs to try hard.” 就当路西恩想再争取几句前,伊格纳摇晃着酒杯:“但是,K即将成为拉里先生的弟子,而我和拉里先生又关系极好。既然他带你来找我,我作为元素魔法领域的先行者,就不得不做点什么。所以,我打算向主编拉瓦那先生建议,不能由于年度会议就推迟别的魔法师投递的有价值的论文,让他们苦苦等待,最好适当增加本期《元素》的篇幅。当然,建议能否被采纳,还有很多困难,还需要努力。” Lucien at present one bright, is the meaning in Ignarro words the preparation includes in the length of into behind " Element » periodical increasing own paper? 路西恩眼前一亮,伊格纳话里的意思是准备将自己的论文收录入《元素》期刊后面增加的篇幅里？ However Lucien has not opened the mouth rashly, calmly waited for Ignarro to say the words. 不过路西恩没有贸然开口,静静等待伊格纳将话说完。 Ignarro vision shifts to out of the window, looks that under outside Alchemy arc light street light relies on one another young people who snuggles, sighed gently: „This is the life happiest stage, young really good. Yeah, I was old, without the hope depended upon own strength and knowledge becomes high rank Sorcerers, can only then seek magic empire several types to create the magic ceremony of miracle in the ancient times. What a pity the materials of these magic ceremonies are very difficult to search, is expensive.” 伊格纳目光转向窗外,看着外面炼金弧光路灯下相依相偎的年轻人,轻轻感叹:“这是人生最美好的阶段,年轻真好。哎,我老了,没有希望依靠自己的力量和知识成为高阶魔法师了,只能转而寻求古代魔法帝国几种能创造奇迹的魔法仪式。可惜这些魔法仪式的材料都很难搜寻,非常昂贵。” Then, he shuts up, tastes the Rentato special nearby Putao Manor special product the red wine, the smiling face still hangs in the corners of the mouth. 说完,他闭上嘴,品尝起伦塔特附近葡萄庄园特产的红葡萄酒,笑容依然挂在嘴角。 Why Lucien is puzzled Ignarro will first sigh with emotion these not related matter, but quick awakens in his words the hidden meaning: Some many difficulties need to try hard to overcome, how could to pay a price? 路西恩先是不解伊格纳为什么会感慨这些不相关的事情,可很快就醒悟过来他话里暗藏的意思:有很多困难需要努力克服,岂能不付出点代价？ Thinks, Lucien is considering the tone: „Mr. Ignarro, wants the luck sometimes well, Arcane acquisition is not difficult. Like my previous time new magic, because obtains big Arcanist your excellency quotation, the income is rich.” 想了想,路西恩斟酌着语气:“伊格纳先生,有些时候只要运气好一点,奥术点的获得并不困难。像我上次的新魔法,就因为得到大奥术师阁下的引用,收益非常丰厚。” Ignarro appreciated looked at Lucien one: „Young people are always full of the impulse and boldness, the old person like me is not good, the stone of royal crown only misses 300 Arcane actually unable to buy.” 伊格纳赞赏地看了路西恩一眼:“年轻人总是充满冲劲和魄力,像我这样的老人就不行了,王冠之石只差三百个奥术点却迟迟不能买下来。” „Does not know that Mr. Ignarro you are willing to accept my subsidization? I do not want to notice that an antecedent stands still because of the puzzle of money.” Lucien was saying words that vomit quickly, but if can publishes in " Element » periodical, that ratio «Ordinary Arcanist Monthly publication» good many times, because contacts various types of magic ores for a long time, discovered hopefully new element is in the majority by the Sorcerers of elements and Alchemy two departments! “不知道伊格纳先生您愿不愿意接受我的资助？我不想看到一位前行者因为金钱的困扰而驻足不前。”路西恩说着自己都快呕吐的话语,但如果能在《元素》期刊上登载,那比《普通奥术师月刊》好很多倍,因为长期接触各种魔法矿石,有希望发现新元素的以元素和炼金两系的魔法师居多！ Ignarro is lifting the wine glass to Lucien, smiles genially gracefully: „Wish us to succeed.” 伊格纳对着路西恩举了举酒杯,笑得和煦优雅:“祝我们成功。” After K comes back, saw very much happily Lucien and Ignarro chatted very happily. K回来之后,很高兴地看到路西恩和伊格纳聊得很开心。 ............ ………… Perhaps is Ignarro's efficiency is very high, perhaps is " Element » periodical had decided that must increase the length, but seized the chance to take advantage of loopholes by him, when Lucien and K leave the hotel next day, the including notice of «Element» periodical delivered to the Lucien hand. 也许是伊格纳的效率很高,也许是《元素》期刊本身就已经决定要增加篇幅,只不过被他趁机钻了空子,在路西恩和K第二天离开旅馆时,《元素》期刊的收录通知就送到了路西恩手中。 „Thank you, K, if no your help, my paper is unable by «Element» periodical including. This to low rank Arcanist is the matter that is inconceivable.” Before the platform, Lucien expressed gratitude to K seriously. “谢谢你,K,如果不是有你的帮忙,我的论文根本无法被《元素》期刊收录。这对一位低阶奥术师是难以想象的事情。”站台前,路西恩郑重向K道谢。 K flexure scratched the head embarrassed: „Is Evans your paper valuable.” K不好意思地挠了挠头:“都是伊文斯你的论文有价值。” Is receiving own idea, K not before the periodical distributes spies on the Lucien paper the specific content. 秉承着自己的理念,K没有在期刊发行前就窥探路西恩论文的具体内容。 Is the Arcane point has the value...... the Lucien unstated criticism saying that so long as the paper were confirmed by Sorcerers, this pays or is worth. 是奥术点有价值……路西恩腹诽道,不过只要论文被魔法师们验证,这点付出还是值得的。 „Doesn't K, you return to the school?” Lucien prepares to hurry back to the Allyn hardship , to continue itself to discover the experiment of new element. “K,你不回学校？”路西恩准备赶回阿林厄,继续自己发现新元素的实验。 K shakes the head, on simple and honest face sad: „Actually I had left job, because Mr. Larry sees my previous paper the echo to be very good, moreover is away from three points is not truly far, therefore makes me follow he to study ahead of time. But exactly for these days I some native place things situated in Glun tomb county, therefore I seize the chance to leave job, the preparation goes back to process. Noon yesterday I came to say goodbye to you, saw your paper to be rejected, before thinking to leave , helping you as far as possible.” K摇了摇头,憨厚的脸上略带感伤:“其实我已经离职了,因为拉里先生见我上篇论文的反响很好,而且距离三环确实不远,所以让我提前去跟着他学习。而恰好这几天我位于格兰陵郡的老家有些事情,于是我趁机离职,准备回去处理。昨天中午我原本是过来向你告别的,见你论文被拒绝,才想着离开前尽量帮帮你。” Georgian Lanling county is in the Haar kingdom eight counties quite remote one. 格兰陵郡是霍尔王国八个郡里面比较偏远的一个。 „K, you do not need is so sad, Mr. Larry in the Allyn hardship, we can meet for a long time frequently. Right, does the matter of native place need me to help?” Lucien cared that asked. “K,你不必这么感伤,拉里先生长期在阿林厄,我们可以经常见面的。对了,老家的事情需不需要我帮忙？”路西恩关心地问道。 K shakes the head: „A minor matter, I can process with ease.” K又摇了摇头:“一点小事,我能轻松处理。” „Good, K you, if needs to help, delivers a letter to return to the school.” Lucien sees the magic steam train to drive, waves says goodbye to him, „right, determined ......... and other atomic weights of element.” “那好吧,K你如果需要帮助,就送信回学校。”路西恩见魔法蒸汽列车驶来,挥手向他告别,“对了,重新测定一下………等元素的原子量。” K is listening to the Lucien final instruction at a loss puzzled, decided that has the time to make these magics to test. K茫然不解地听着路西恩最后的吩咐,决定有时间就做做这几个魔法实验。 ............ ………… «Ordinary Arcanist Monthly publication» headquarters. 《普通奥术师月刊》总部。 „Really is regrettable, has not thought that " Element » periodical also discovered Evans the value of your paper.” The content phase contrast that Woods tone and he spoke, has the intense regrettable flavor very much. “真是遗憾,没想到《元素》期刊也发现了伊文斯你论文的价值。”伍兹语气和他说话的内容很相衬,有着强烈的遗憾味道。 Lucien feels grateful Woods's regarding as important, therefore comes personally the expression of gratitude and explanation: „Very sorry, Mr. Woods, if knows in advance you will decide to publish my paper, I will definitely not go to Rentato special.” 路西恩感激伍兹的看重,因此亲自过来道谢和说明情况:“很抱歉,伍兹先生,如果预先知道你会决定登载我的论文,我肯定不会去伦塔特的。” That 300 Arcane points are really spend well grievedly! 那三百个奥术点真是花得好心痛！ „No, Evans, even I, I will still choose " Element » periodical. Your this paper publishes on this only compares by «Arcane» includes poor.” Woods has not minded the said/tunnel, „, although «Ordinary Arcanist Monthly publication» these more than ten years are getting better and better, but compared with " Element » periodical in element magic domain influence and position, differ too.” “不,伊文斯,即使是我,我也会选择《元素》期刊。你这篇论文登载在这上面只比被《奥术》收录差一点。”伍兹没有介意地道,“虽然《普通奥术师月刊》这十多年越来越好,但比起《元素》期刊在元素魔法领域的影响力和地位,还是相差太多。” Lucien nods silently, if chooses, even if needs to pay 500 Arcane points, oneself will also choose " Element » periodical, because the matter is urgent, can only choose the influence big. But traded usually, has Woods this type „appreciation for being recognized”, even if " Element » periodical sends in the treaty draft letter directly, perhaps oneself will still choose «Ordinary Arcanist Monthly publication». 路西恩默默点头,如果重新选择,哪怕需要付出五百个奥术点,自己也会选《元素》期刊,因为事情紧迫,只能选择影响力大的。而换了平时,有伍兹这种“知遇之恩”,即使《元素》期刊直接发来约稿函,自己恐怕也会选择《普通奥术师月刊》。 „Mr. Woods, if later has the opportunity, I will continue to submit a piece of writing to you.” Lucien sincere said/tunnel. “伍兹先生,如果以后有机会,我会继续投稿给你们的。”路西恩诚恳地道。 Woods thinks that Lucien is the polite reply, is saying with a smile: „ I extended welcome. Right, Evans, I want to determine several experiments of atomic weights to write the paper me, inside will quote your paper the content, moreover publication in this issue of «Ordinary Arcanist Monthly publication» on. 伍兹以为路西恩是礼貌的回答,笑着道:“我个人表示欢迎。对了,伊文斯,我想将我重新测定几种原子量的实验写成论文,里面将引用你论文的内容,而且就刊登在这期《普通奥术师月刊》上。 „This is my being honored.” Lucien smile reply. “这是我的荣幸。”路西恩微笑回答。 Said goodbye to Woods, returning to the magic school, Lucien to hurry to be wrong that several atomic weights, the matter that needs to adjust told Locker and Jerome, and wrote to Lazar explained. 告别伍兹,回到魔法学校,路西恩赶紧将那几种原子量可能错误,需要校正的事情告诉了罗克和杰罗姆,并写信给拉扎尔说明。 This is not only lets them „deceiving” overall, but also drums up support, drums up support for own periodic table paper. 这不仅仅是让他们“骗”积分,而且是造势,为自己的元素周期表论文造势。 Therefore, Lucien until own paper determined that by «Element» periodical including, makes them do, otherwise their papers first publish, own paper actually waits till for several months later, cannot achieve very good effect. 因此,路西恩直到自己的论文确定被《元素》期刊收录,才让他们去做,否则他们的论文先刊登,自己的论文却等到几个月后,就不能达到很好的效果了。 ............ ………… Friday night, still cannot after various types of magic ores discover the new element Lucien ended several hours of experiment returns to the villa. 周五晚上,依然没能从各种魔法矿石里发现新元素的路西恩结束了几个小时的实验后返回别墅。 Just opened the door, Lucien sees crack in a door a letter/believes, the surface writes the guarding a gate iron demon resembles to receive and sign, inspect and passes. 刚打开门,路西恩就看到门缝里塞着一封信,表面写着守门铁魔像签收、检查并转送。 „Who will write to me?” Lucien inspected again, opens the envelope curiously. “谁会给我写信？”路西恩再次检查了一下,好奇地打开信封。 „Respectable Lucien? Mr. Evans, although you are only low rank Arcanist, but you are laudable in the research of element magic domain, therefore we in the final moment, invited you to participate in ‚element and Alchemy that magic annual meeting’ on Saturday ( January 27 ) 9 : 00 am started seriously.” “尊敬的路西恩？伊文斯先生,虽然您只是低阶奥术师,但您在元素魔法领域的研究值得赞赏,因此我们在最后关头,郑重地邀请您参加星期六(一月27日)早上 9 点开始的‘元素和炼金魔法年度会议’。” Behind is the element will and symbol of Holm Imperial family demon court, and place Swan Lake wild rose manor of conference, the time is three days ago sends out. 后面是元素意志和霍尔姆皇家魔法院的标志,以及会议的地点天鹅湖蔷薇庄园,时间则是三天前发出的。 Lucien looks at this invitation inexplicably startled, the paper of periodic table has attached great importance to " Element » periodical headquarters, thus aroused the element will high-level interest?( To be continued. Please search the floating astronomy, the novel is better to renew is quicker!) 路西恩莫名又愕然地看着这封邀请函,难道元素周期表的论文在《元素》期刊总部得到重视,从而引起了元素意志高层的关注？(未完待续。请搜索飄天文學,小说更好更新更快!)
