Industrial Revolution of the Mage Lords

Chapter 204 Resubmission of the paper

Harvey sat in front of the "Magic Brain" instrument and thought for a moment before slowly tapping the buttons.

Kel'Thuzad: This magical duel was an unexpected disaster for me... Alas, I never imagined that simply publishing a research paper would lead to such intense criticism.

In any case, playing the victim at the beginning is actually Harvey's usual tactic in the forum. He has used this trick in the past to get a lot of research funding from Mr. "Man in the Mirror" for free.

It is also easy to get discounts on knowledge sharing and item exchanges from other friendly members. It can be said that as long as their own safety and interests are not involved, this group of high-level spellcasters active in the forum are still very generous and magnanimous in some aspects.

Kel'Thuzad: I believe that several members, after witnessing this magic duel, have realized that I only managed to win by chance because I knew my opponent's information and was able to take precautions... I must thank Mr. Shield and Mr. Mirror. If you hadn't risked passing on the information to me, I might have been in great danger in the duel...

Betraying the member who secretly tipped him off was a small revenge by Harvey for Fadun's previous attempt to force him to win him over.

Kel'Thuzad: As for... the spells I used to target and defeat my opponent in this duel were actually two high-level creative spells. They are indeed powerful offensive spells, and they are also my only life-saving trump card.

At this time, a strange member code that rarely appeared in the exchange meeting suddenly appeared.

Soul Reaper: Please forgive my intrusion. I would like to ask Mr. Kel'Thuzad whether the second creative spell you used at that time had a similar structure and model to "Dawson's Soul Drain." If you are unwilling to share it publicly, I am willing to pay a price to obtain the answer privately.

Harvey's spirits perked up, and he sharply judged that this member codenamed "Soul Reaper" was probably one of the leaders of the Federation who sat below Mr. Scorching Lord in the Hall of Truth that day - the legendary Mathematical Master, Soren Dawson.

Of course, he couldn't directly admit that there was a certain connection between the two, as this would directly expose the fact that he could obtain information uploaded by the Federation from the Magic Encyclopedia before it was publicly released.

Isn't this equivalent to directly telling these bigwigs in the Federation that he has some kind of hidden close connection with the forum administrator Turing and the observer Neumann?

But it is also not advisable to deny it outright. These legendary spellcasters have extremely sharp eyes and can easily see at a glance the magic laws and matrix structure contained in the spell that he cast in the duel that day.

[Kel'Thuzad: I haven't had the opportunity to learn a creative technique like 'Dawson's Soul Drain' before. After all, it was created by the Union's Chief, His Excellency Dawson, and I'm not his student.]

[Kel'Thuzad: Furthermore, this creative spell called "Information Rage" is not something that a research-based spellcaster like me could create on my own. I received some knowledge from Mr. Turing, and used it as inspiration to transform and model the spell...]

What Harvey meant was that he actually did not have the ability to create such a powerful attack technique, but by paying a certain price, he exchanged the key knowledge of certain techniques from the mysterious and powerful forum administrator Turing. After all, Mr. Turing's rank and strength were still recognized as unfathomable among the members.

Moreover, this non-human being also exceptionally adheres to the principle of equal exchange. Although he does not always respond to requests, he is still generous.

But as soon as he said this, the forum fell silent, and all members became active - since Kel'Thuzad could obtain such powerful creative magic from the mysterious administrator by paying some unknown price, doesn't that mean that others can also follow suit?

Even if it is not a complete high-level spell, even if it is just to obtain some corresponding knowledge or key points, it will be of great benefit to this group of high-level spellcasters.

Spellcasters who are capable of creating their own spells are undoubtedly qualified to obtain the coveted title of Legend, but this does not mean that Legendary spellcasters can create these powerful high-level spells in large quantities out of thin air.

Creative spells aren't the cheap, mass-produced artifacts of the Alchemy Quest workshop. Even a legendary archmage, the Union's chief, can only research and refine a limited number of high-level spells in his lifetime. Take, for example, the Union's first chief, His Excellency Kemo Salas. He's a recognized magical prodigy within the continent's spellcasting community, his talent rare in the Union's century-plus history. Yet, he possesses only six original high-level spells, which earned him promotion to a higher rank and the title of Legend.

As for the other two Federation chiefs with slightly weaker abilities, Sir Soren Dawson possesses four original high-level spells, and Sir Wes Gallagher is a special exception. He relied on a large amount of magical heritage from the ancient wizarding kingdom, conducted crazy spell improvement experiments, and forcibly impacted the legendary rank through replication.

Thinking of this, Harvey decided to secretly boost his status in the forum - since they have recognized him, he can obtain knowledge gifts from the administrator Turing.

Why not go a step further and establish another identity background that you will need later - the first magic agent of the Spellcaster Forum in the real world!

Kel'Thuzad: Although I paid a huge price for the magical gift I obtained from the forum, considering your support and selfless help during this incident, after consulting Mr. Turing, I intend to share it with the public to a certain extent... Uh, I will complete a paper based on it and publish it publicly through the Federation. Then everyone can participate in the research and analysis...

Harvey only intends to share some key knowledge points and key theories, and will not disclose the entire magic method from magic theory to model construction. This is similar to marking the key points in an exam. How much you can learn depends entirely on your own talent and hard work.

[Earth-loved One: Mr. Kel'Thuzad is so generous and selfless. I believe I owe you the highest respect! The path of magic is long and winding. Only those who have walked together know the hardships and difficulties. It is through communication and sharing that we all have the opportunity to touch the ultimate truth...]

[Hand of Elements: I second the motion! I pay my highest respects to Mr. Kel'Thuzad's selflessness!]

Stormrunner: I agree! Thank you, Mr. Kel'Thuzad, for your selflessness!

……

Harvey suppressed his laughter and clicked on the message from Mr. Son of Fire. A feeling of anxiety and urgency washed over him. He quickly replied to the irritable wizard who was probably sitting in front of the magic brain, jumping with anxiety.

[Kel'Thuzad: Mr. Son of Fire, please rest assured. I will not easily share the high-level elemental magic I promised you before you master it. Once my paper is published and the level of the magic is assessed, I will make a deal with you as soon as possible!]

Son of Flame: Good, good, good! I knew you wouldn't go back on your word. Now, in my heart, you are my number one magical friend! My dear Mr. Kel'Thuzad!

Harvey shuddered, feeling that this irritable wizard had completely disregarded his own identity and image in order to obtain powerful spells, and was willing to say anything disgusting.

After briefly communicating with other members for a while, Harvey ended tonight's exchange meeting and left the magic forum.

He took the creative magic research paper that had been written long ago, along with reference experiments and actual combat data obtained from magic duels, typed it directly into a document, and sent it separately to Mr. "Scorching Lord".

It is so easy to have top connections in the federation. There are no need to go through too many procedures to publish papers and pass reviews. First-hand information can be submitted directly to the chief without worrying about being stuck in the review procedures.

“It’s so cool to be able to publish research results through backdoor connections!”
