The old miner did not dare to hide anything and quickly began to explain.

This strange ore was dug out from a mine in the royal territory. The owner of the mine originally bought several nearby mountains and planned to mine copper, but he discovered a strange ore that looked like crystal in this mountain.

In addition, a strange luminous monster was discovered. It seemed to be feeding on this ore. The things it excreted were generally silvery white and shiny, very similar to silver ore, but much heavier.

The owner of the mine immediately realized that this mine was the source of his wealth. He immediately organized a large number of people to carry out excavation work and hired a carving master to make those natural crystal-like minerals into jewelry.

And that unknown silvery-white metal was also sold at a high price to some interested nobles and wealthy businessmen!

However, the good times did not last long. After working for a period of time, some miners in the mine suddenly contracted a malignant disease. They inexplicably became dizzy and weak, had difficulty breathing, and even their skin began to peel off and festered.

The mine owner who received the report from the guard didn't care at first, thinking that the miners were just trying to be lazy again. It wasn't until several nobles who had purchased mineral jewelry developed similar symptoms and attracted the church's investigation that he realized the seriousness of the problem.

Unfortunately, it was too late. Not long after, the church closed the mine. Then a rumor spread in the capital that these strange ores were cursed by evil wizards. The owner of the mine was also tied to the stake and burned to death on the grounds that he colluded with the evil god's followers and used witchcraft to murder the kingdom's nobles...

After listening to the miner's narration, Yolande became more and more interested in the ore in front of him. He could naturally see that this thing had no magical reaction at all and should be a creation of nature.

However, the name of the Demon Stone still made Yolande cautious. He changed from holding it in his hands to using the [Mage's Hand] to lift it.

"Master Wizard, look, this..." The old miner saw Yolande's face change slightly, and said nervously in his heart, somewhat worried that offering such an evil thing would make the other party unhappy.

If the reward wasn't so tempting, he wouldn't dare take this risk! "You did a great job. Here are 50 imperial gold coins. Take them!" Yolande said with a smile. With a thought, shiny gold coins flew out and piled on the table.

In order to encourage the people of the royal capital to bring out the good stuff, Yolande directly gave the highest bonus, a full fifty imperial gold coins!

"Thank you, Master Wizard. Your generosity makes the stars dim..."

Seeing the pile of gold coins, the old miner knelt down on the ground excitedly, and kowtowed continuously to express his admiration and gratitude. Then, with Yolande's permission, he swept all the gold coins into his pocket with a trembling wrist.

The citizens of the royal capital who were queuing in the back were jealous when they saw the old miner exchange a demon stone for dozens of gold coins. They also felt in their hearts that these wizards were indeed trustworthy.

Such a large sum of money was given just like that!

In the past two days, hundreds of people have presented various rare items, but all were rejected, so much so that they began to wonder if these great wizards were deliberately making fun of them.

Now it turns out that they just didn't find the right thing. These wizards even want the Devil's Stone!

"You are in charge here for the time being, Artos. If you discover any new elements, send someone to inform me!" Yolande reminded solemnly, and then took the 'Devil's Stone' and hurried off to report.

However, considering the rumors about the Demon Stone, Yolande put aside his little thoughts and decided that reporting it was the best outcome.

…

At the same time, in the manor in the royal capital, Lin En was reading today's Magic Daily. There was a shocking headline on the front page.

[Thunder is the ultimate answer to all magic - On the internal structure of elements! ]

"Good, have we discovered that there may be electrons inside elements?" Lin En exclaimed inwardly. It has only been two or three days, and after breaking free from the mystery of the indivisibility of atoms, the wizards' imagination and creativity were quickly stimulated.

The person who published this paper was naturally Anthony. Although his atomic electrolysis experiment failed, he gained many unexpected results, such as verifying that two atoms will indeed produce a repulsive force when they are very close to each other, and he also calculated this tiny distance.

This repulsive force is very similar to the phenomenon of like poles repelling each other between two magnets, so Anthony made a bold guess that there is electricity inside atoms! He also gave the corresponding [element purple fruit] model.

Purple fruit is a specialty of the Kingdom of Hadhrata. It is a kind of fruit-filled thing similar to a pomegranate.

According to Anthony's idea, positive and negative charges are like purple fruits filled in atoms. The inner layer of most elements is positively charged and the outer layer is negatively charged. When they get close to each other, they will generate repulsive force because like charges repel each other.

The structure of other elements is just the opposite, with a positive charge on the outer layer and a negative charge on the inner layer, so the two can react together to produce light, heat, and even flames...

The entire paper was several thousand words long and took up the entire page. Lin En read it with great interest. Although the conclusion was wrong, the deduction process and imagination were very interesting.

It can really explain some phenomena to a certain extent.

For example, Anthony believed that the reason why elements are in motion all the time is that they are brought closer to each other due to gravity, and then bounced away due to repulsion, so they are always under the alternating action of these two forces.

Just as Lynn was about to flip through the newspaper to see if there were any other novel theories, he saw Alok running in hurriedly from outside the yard.

"What's wrong? Did something happen?" Seeing Alok's anxious look, Lin En immediately put down the newspaper in his hand and asked with a serious expression.

"Dean Lin En... the element... is a new element!" Alok was panting, his face full of excitement. "Yolander, who is in charge of collecting new and interesting objects today, found a demon stone. After testing, it was found that this should be a new element that has never been recorded before."
