Please check [my post](https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/3485228/the-condition-that-eulers-prime-generating-polynomial-is-a-composite-number). It indicates that the number of divisors of $x^2+x+41$ is equal to the number of lattice points of $X^2+163Y^2-2(2x+1)Y-1=0$. This formula is transformed in this way. $$163X^2+163^2Y^2-2\cdot163(2x+1)Y=163$$ $$163X^2+\{163Y-(2x+1)\}^2-(2x+1)^2=163$$ $$163X^2+(163Y-2x-1)^2=4x^2+4x+164$$ $X':=163Y-2x-1,\ Y':=X$ and we divide both sides by 4, $$\frac{{X'}^2+{163Y'}^2}{4}=x^2+x+41$$ $$N\left(\frac{X'+Y'\sqrt{-163}}{2}\right)=x^2+x+41$$ $\frac{X'+Y'\sqrt{-163}}{2}$ is an element of $\mathbb Q(\sqrt{-163})$. This formula indicates the following: The number of elements of $\mathbb Q(\sqrt{-163})$ with norm $x^2+x+41$ is linked to the number of divisors of $x^2+x+41$. The phenomenon you are interested in is based on this fact.
