Far from the outskirts of the city, an ordinary manor.

Standing outside the fence, this is a dilapidated manor that lacks care. Weeds grow on both sides of the path, and vines wind around the fence. Even the outer walls of the western style house are covered with plants. The residents in the neighborhood generally know that the manor belongs to a noble caster. They can often see some masters driving luxury carriages in and out of the manor.

DuPont Arnold, the president of the Royal Society of casters, was drinking bitter coffee in his study. His spirit was stimulated by bitterness. His wrinkled eyes looked tired and gloomy. He had not slept all night and focused on reviewing the academic papers published in nature and magic.

In front of him floats a blue information crystal which emits soft radiance, and three-dimensional stars appear around the information crystal.

The fusion nature of wormwood and Tana flower

On the morphological expansion of metamorphosis

Opposition to Greene's ether theory

DuPont's eyes were attentive. For a long time, he couldn't help sighing. He lost his strength and fell on the chair. The information crystal fell on the support of the desktop without a sound.

"That's bullshit!"

He cursed irritably, and his voice showed a deep helplessness.

None of the papers in the information crystal can reach his eyes. Most of them are groundless and confused conjectures. A few of them are more excessive. The content completely plagiarizes some published works and only modifies the wording.

Thesis!? If these papers are written on paper, it may be too hard to wipe your bottom.

The kingdom of Baron is not a big country. There are no more than three figures of casters in China. Most of them are mediocre people who fish in troubled waters and have no real strength. It's strange that there are any excellent academic papers. Truly capable casters have gone to the center of the magic world through the magic association.

DuPont is a man with self-knowledge. He is old and knows clearly that the upper class is his limit in the path of the caster. Therefore, he is more willing to stay in the kingdom of Baron and live a human life. At the same time, he trains some capable Magicians for his country and inherits his magic ideas.

However, over the years, the standard of the Kingdom's casters has deteriorated. In this impetuous era, the younger generation of casters are more willing to cooperate with businessmen to study some messy things and earn money. They don't know whether the reason should be attributed to environmental changes or what.

"Is modern magic destined to be just the twilight of the times?"

DuPont does not deny that his original intention of studying modern magic is that modern magic has a very low start, and has a greater impact on ordinary people. Modern magic is the product of bad casting environment, caters to the needs of the secular world, loses the mysterious aura of the term magic, and is despised by many casters.

Dusk didn't last long, and then there was the long night.

DuPont went to the window, opened the curtains and looked at the green landscape outside. He was in a good mood for a while.

"Why?"

He raised his eyebrows, said a few incantations, covered the manor. The invisible magic barrier was temporarily removed. Almost at the same time, a black cat came out from under his desk and jumped onto the table.

DuPont is a little strange. Who will contact him at this time? His reputation is not good among the casters of the kingdom. The older generation of casters basically disappeared, and they don't like each other.

Open the small cylinder, take out the information crystal and read the information inside.

"Mr. Harvey Adrian's information crystal?" DuPont suddenly, the image of the young man who impressed him in the cinema flashed through his mind, and Harvey was the only one of the young casters in the kingdom of Baren who really made achievements.

A lot of information from the information crystal confused him.

"What are these?"

"The function and principle of photographic crystal"

"Mr. Adrian finished his paper so quickly." DuPont's wrinkled mouth grinned and his frown widened. It was only a few days before Harvey returned from Norton to Elroy. He thought he would not receive Harvey's paper until next month.

The photographic crystal is a very practical magic prop. After watching the phantom of count of Monte Cristo, DuPont thinks that the photographic crystal can even become one of the landmark research results of modern magic, and has great expectations for Harvey's paper.

On the other hand, because of Harvey's age and only a subordinate caster, DuPont had some lack of confidence.

"The amount of information is a bit large. I hope it's not as groundless as those papers."

The information crystal sent by Harvey contains more information than the papers he just read.

DuPont sat back in his position and read the contents of the information crystal wholeheartedly, which recorded the production process and principle of the photographic crystal in detail.

"It needs unprocessed magic crystal as the material to engrave three ring magic array. The first ring is used to capture image information ·"

DuPont nodded with satisfaction: "well, it's not difficult to make photographic crystal. The alchemy workshop that can make magic crystal can certainly make photographic crystal. In this way, the role of photographic crystal is much bigger than imagined, which fully conforms to the definition of modern magic product."

"Why? There are corresponding papers explaining the principle of photographic crystal. "

After reading for a while, DuPont's sleepiness suddenly disappeared. Harvey's paper is the most powerful way to stimulate his spirit. He never felt that reading a paper was originally a very interesting thing, and his face gradually became dignified: "is this really Mr. Adrian's first time to publish a paper? It's incredible that the principle of making photographic crystal is very clear. This part is more like the principle of phantom. "

"Visual persistence and kinesthetic phenomenon"

The structure of the paper "the function and principle of photographic crystal" is very complete. A qualified paper should have all the elements. Even the caster who knows little about magic and magic crystal can easily understand it. Harvey's experimental results and principles around the photographic technology surprised him even more, especially the illusion of deceiving the eyes, This part of the content can even be used in the field of magic and get a higher evaluation.

"A lot of content! But there is no doubt that the value of this paper can not be fully reflected even in the whole issue of nature and magic

DuPont looked excited, looked inside and out again, grinned with a serious, old-fashioned face, patted the solid wood desk hard, and yelled, "Harvey Adrian! Good! Good! Good! This time, nature and magic can finally publish some substantial content. "
