After a moment, Simone raised her head to look at Lis, her expression somewhat solemn, and said:

"These journals were all written by you, Lis. I hadn't noticed before. It seems the format of these papers is quite similar."

"Moreover, compared to previous Magic Books, this 'paper' format is more concise and clear, making it easier to understand the meaning?"

"Indeed, it is so."

Lis nodded and continued:

"Unlike other Extraordinary professions, for Mages, books are the most important source of acquiring knowledge."

"We preserve knowledge through Magic Books, hoping to pass on our own wisdom."

"Unfortunately, most Mages who leave behind Magic Books narrate them from a subjective perspective, making them difficult to understand and prone to errors and contradictions."

"As Legendary Mages, we naturally can clearly recognize this issue and have enough wisdom to comprehend the knowledge recorded in Magic Books."

"But for most Mages below the Legendary rank, this represents a significant barrier to learning and understanding the wisdom of predecessors."

Saying this, Lis pointed to a few Magic Journals on the table in front of him, smiling at Simone and said:

"I want to create a more concise and clear format to record the knowledge and wisdom of Mages, and this format I have named 'paper'."

"I believe this 'paper' format can gradually clarify the method of expressing knowledge, construct a complete chain from hypothesis to verification through rigorous logic, and ensure information is precise and repeatable through uniform terminology, example support, and citation standards, allowing the wisdom of Mages to be preserved over the long term, forming a cross-generational knowledge system."

"Indeed, such an approach can indeed bring significant change."

Simone nodded, becoming more interested in Lis.

She was curious about how Lis noticed these issues.

For the average Mage, can't understand Magic Books?

That's your problem, too dumb and foolish!

Who would think to set a standardized form to help Mages record knowledge more clearly?

If just this so-called 'paper' was presented, it wouldn't cause much of a stir.

But when Lis combined 'paper' with 'Magic Journal', the benefits were greater than the sum of its parts!

"Simone, you should have noticed."

"The contents recorded in these Magic Journals are essentially different."

Lis continued:

"For example, 'Nature' mostly publishes Magic Knowledge in the domains of nature and life."

"'Elements', on the other hand, mainly publishes Magic Knowledge in the Four Basic Elements domain, and the others are similar."

"Whereas 'World' has no such limitations, focusing solely on publishing those papers of sufficient significance."

Simone listened carefully to Lis' design concept for the Magic Journals, nodding from time to time.

"So, how often do you plan to publish these journals, Lis?"

"Once a month."

Lis replied straightforwardly.

"Once a month?"

"Isn't that a bit short?"

Simone frowned.

She roughly flipped through the Magic Journal in her hand, naturally understanding the time and effort it requires to complete a paper.

With so many Magic Journals, it couldn't possibly all rely on Lis to write the papers, right?

"No problem, I am well-prepared."

Lis said with a smile.

He knew full well that the so-called "paper" and "Magic Journal" were extremely novel ideas for most Mages.

Getting them to accept these would take time, let alone writing and submitting papers voluntarily.

Therefore, when planning these Magic Journals, Lis was already prepared.

The Magic Knowledge he mastered is no small amount, most of it made into Magic Books and placed in the Library of the Source of All Magic.

The remaining content is what Lis planned to gradually publish in the Magic Journals of the Source of All Magic.

After all, the content required by Magic Journals is merely different from that in the Library of the Source of All Magic, posing no operational difficulty for Lis.

Moreover, it's not necessary for Lis to personally write those papers.

By assigning the relevant Magic Knowledge and paper format to the Magic Intelligent Life Little Black, he could wait for it to churn out papers.

Calculating, even if a Magic Journal is published once a month, without other people's submissions, it would take over ten years to publish all the papers Lis prepared.

Lis didn't think that with the wisdom of the Mages, they wouldn't understand what a paper is.

As soon as they realize the importance of Magic Journals, they will voluntarily start learning.

"Alright, as long as you're prepared."

Simone nodded, then added:

"Lis, I think I can understand your intention behind preparing these Magic Journals, but doesn't publishing Magic Knowledge in this way make it seem too 'cheap'?"

Noticing a hint of ambiguity in her statement, Simone added:

"I understand your objective is to facilitate the circulation of knowledge and wisdom, but this is from our perspective."

"For us Legendary Mages, we have enough ability and wealth to face the changes brought on by this."

"But what about those Mages below the Legendary rank?"

"For instance, if certain Mages make their living from exclusive Magic Knowledge, won't publishing it cause them significant difficulties?"

"This is reform, and reform brings change!"

Hearing Simone's concerns, Lis responded solemnly:

"I do not deny that some people will not like the change and may even suffer because of it."

"But these are not reasons for me to stop advancing!"

"They have reasons to keep exclusive knowledge private, but if they are thus left behind by the times and Magic, the consequences are theirs to bear."

"Of course, those Mages who choose to share knowledge and wisdom will receive certain support."

"For instance, the resources support available from the Source of All Magic and Kane Floating City."

"This is the significance of the Source of All Magic!"

Lis had considered all the consequences that might arise.

After all, introducing a new change to the Pan-Continent Mage Association requires thorough consideration.

If it led to severe consequences, it would mean a significant loss for Lis, too.

He wouldn't just dust off his hands and walk away.

The reason for this substantial expense is because Lis vaguely anticipates that the key to further advancement lies within this.

In order to reach higher realms more quickly, Lis is prepared to bear whatever cost.

However, in reality, the burden may not be as great as imagined.

With Kane Floating City and Phillips Crystal as backing, the Magic Resources required do not need Lis to specifically prepare.

Moreover, those Mages joining the Source of All Magic represent a different kind of "resource" for Lis.

After Lis established the Teleportation Array between Kane Floating City, Danerluo Port, and the Pan-Continent Mage Association, personnel and material exchanges became more immense.

Mages' various Magic Items are the most valuable assets for adventurers.

Especially for those adventurers exploring small worlds through the Phillips Crystal, all sorts of Magic Items are greeted with open arms.

The resource subsidies Lis provided to those Mages mostly require only placing them on the Source of All Magic as a School commission.

A bit of effort can lead to self-sufficiency, doing more work garners more resources for Magic research.

Lis only needs to offer some extra School Contribution Points and Gold Coins.

Anyway, it doesn't involve Arcane Points, so Lis can do as he pleases!
