Throne of Magical Arcana

Lazar nodded with a smile: "Of course, as long as it is a new magic that the council does not have. And compared to the review of papers, the creation and improvement of new magic only needs to call the alchemy life in the 'magic exchange room' to compare it with the previous magic and confirm that it is OK." Just release it. The gentlemen of the 'Arcane Review Committee' can complete the assessment in twenty minutes at the earliest."

As soon as the words fell, Simeon next to him added: "However, Evans, you have to remember that although you can get arcane points and activate badges in this way, when you want to obtain an official arcane level in the future, which one should you use?" Basic arcane points must be obtained. Because the council requires every magician to have a solid arcane foundation, and only after becoming an arcanist can he choose his own research direction."

"I will find time to pass the arcane examination of the 'Magician Management Department'." Lucien replied in a normal tone, as if he was talking about what to have for dinner today, but Simeon and Lazar thought that Lucien It means that after he finishes studying those arcane and magic books and makes up the basics, he should apply for the assessment as soon as possible.

After waving goodbye to Annick and other magic apprentices, Lucien walked towards the fourth district under the leadership of Lazar.

"Mr. Simeone has just become a second-level arcanist, and he has great hopes of breaking through to the middle level." While walking, Lazar sighed to Lucien, "I don't know when I will be able to have thirty arcanists. Scores."

After hearing this, Lucien asked suspiciously: "How many arcane points are needed to increase the arcane level?"

"At first it was said that it was a multiple of ten, but the arcane points needed later would be too exaggerated. After all, there are only 10,000 to 20,000 arcanists in the whole world, so there was a legend who liked the philosophical concept of 'everything is three' The magician added the level of "three" in the middle, and it became what it is now. Ten arcane points become a first-level arcanist, and promotion to the second level requires thirty arcane points, and one hundred arcane points for the third level. , 300 at the fourth level, 1,000 at the fifth level, 3,000 at the sixth level, 10,000 at the seventh level, 30,000 at the eighth level, and 100,000 at the ninth level." Lazar likes the feeling of being asked.

While walking, light shone from both sides from time to time, but the arcane and magic badges worn by Lazar were faintly radiant, causing them to retreat by themselves.

…………

The "Magician Management Department" has an open lobby with light yellow sofas, coffee tables, bar counters, wine cabinets and other things, giving people a relaxed and enlightened feeling, like salons, clubs, etc. than the management department.

Beside the passage leading from the lobby to the back office, lounge, and reference room, there is a reception desk made of silver-gray metal, standing there are two lively and lovely girls. The magicians who come and go, as long as they are not the gloomy kind, like to tease them a few words, and there are also young people who are pursuing them attentively.

"Mr. Lazar, have you returned from the reception?" The tall flaxen-haired girl among them asked with a smile and bowed. She was wearing a long yellow dress and had delicate features.

Lazar smiled brightly again: "Of course, sweetheart Cindy, don't you see Mr. Evans next to me? A twenty-year-old official magician."

Then he pointed to the two girls: "Evans, they are Cindy and Donna, the sweethearts who made the 'Magician Management Department' full of laughter. They are all graduates of high-level magic apprentices. preparation."

Regarding Lazar's sweetheart's ridicule, Cindy just gave him a blank look, didn't say anything, and looked at Lucien with a charming smile: "Welcome, Mr. Evans. A formal magician who is 20 years old is a genius wherever he goes." , especially if you are still an ancient inheritance. If I have not made a breakthrough when you become an intermediate magician, can you accept me as an apprentice? A real apprentice?"

"Mr. Evans, I want it too, don't forget me!" Donna, who was short but plump, shook her long brown-red hair.

Lucien didn't expect them to be so enthusiastic, and was a little shy for a while, not knowing how to answer.

Lazar laughed out loud: "Evans, it looks like you don't have much experience with women. They just like to welcome new magicians in this joking way."

"Actually, they are talented in arcane arts and spiritual power. They are high-level magic apprentices at the age of seventeen. Electromagnetism and light and darkness don't quite match the astrology and elements you are good at, besides, Nicholas' middle-level magician has already intended to accept them as students."

"I thought I would become charming all of a sudden and be warmly welcomed by the girls." Lucien joked humorously.

Cindy's clear and beautiful eyes stared at Lucien earnestly: "Actually, Mr. Evans, you are really attractive. You are handsome, gentle and calm, and also give people a feeling of melancholy and mystery. Hey, you are more attractive than Mr. Lazar." I."

"That really makes me sad." Lazar made a sad expression, and then tried to be serious, "Mr. Eric, are they in the office?"

Donna, who was giggling, pointed to the passage behind: "The other gentlemen are all busy, only Mr. Eric is waiting for you, Mr. Lazar."

Complaining about his loss of charm, Lazar led Lucien to the third office under the smiling eyes of the two girls. The door plate said "Deacon Eric of the Magician Management Department".

Gently knocked on the door, and a majestic voice sounded: "Please come in, the door is unlocked."

Through the slowly opened door, Lucien saw rows of bookshelves inside. What were placed on the bookshelves were not books, but sheets of silver-gray paper without the slightest wrinkle or bend, which shone like metal sheets. There is a strange light, and there are bright silver lines extending from them to connect with the surrounding walls that are glowing with light blue light.

In addition to the bookshelf, there is a dark black cabinet in the room, an iron cage with a bell hanging on it, and a metal shield.

There is a desk in front of the bookshelf, and behind it sits a bald man in a black suit and tie, with a half-height hat on his right hand.

This ordinary-looking man, about forty years old, raised his head, looked at Lucien with light gray pupils like crystal gems, as if he could read people's hearts, and then lowered his head to write something.

"Hello, Mr. Eric." Lazar put away his laughing expression when getting along with Cindy, Donna and others, and bowed seriously and solemnly.

Eric nodded: "Welcome, new magic companion, come here to register and get your badge. Lazar, your mission has been completed, take this note to the mission area to get paid." He just wrote The good note flew to Lazar.

After Lazar got the note, he enthusiastically said to Lucien: "Evans, it's a pleasure to get along with you. You are such a nice gentleman. I don't know if I have the honor to invite you to dinner, etc., I think We should be able to be friends."

Along the way, Lucien's calm and down-to-earth attitude, "spiritual talent" and gentle and casual personality made Lazar feel that Lucien is a friend who can be with him for a long time.

"Thank you, Lazar, for your invitation. I just couldn't find a place to have dinner." When Lucien first arrived at the headquarters of the Magic Council, the person he knew best was Lazar, so he naturally didn't mind having another warm and kind friend. .

Lazar waved the note in satisfaction: "I have handed in the mission, and I will come to you after receiving the reward. Hehe, you should have worn the magic badge and the activated arcane badge by then."

After Lazar left, Lucien walked up to Eric and sat down, only then did he see clearly that there were three silver stars on a black background and four circles of black rings on a silver background on Eric's chest.

"Third-level Arcanist, fourth-ring magician..."

While thinking silently, Eric took out a piece of silver-gray metallic paper, put it on the table and pushed it to Lucien: "You fill in the information and give it to me, so that I can activate the magic badge."

Lucien took the silver-gray paper and looked at it. On it, only name, age, faction and magic level need to be filled in.

The Magic Council didn't seem to care much about the background and origin.

Seeing that Lucien hadn't written for a long time, Eric said nonchalantly: "You can fill in the rest of the information on another white paper, so that the council can help you obtain the identity documents and certification documents of the Kingdom of Holm or other countries. It will save a lot of time. By the way, when you get married in the future, please register with the 'Magician Management Department', we have already accepted many cases of disputes over the inheritance of magicians."

Only then did Lucien pick up the quill, and wrote "Lucien Evans, twenty years old, good at astrology and elemental, one-ring magician." Then he wrote a little information on the white paper.

After getting the silver-gray paper, Eric took a closer look, with a suspicious smile on his face: "Lucien Evans, this name is really common. That great musician's name is this, a few days ago there was a The low-level elemental mage promoted to the second-level arcanist also has this name, and I have often heard of it before."

"There really are so many people with the same name and surname." Lucien had to believe what Natasha said, touched his chin and said, "Maybe this name is too common."

Eric didn't say much, and pointed to the patterned metal shield placed in the open space next to it: "Cast a one-ring magic, and I want to verify your magic level."

The two silver-black magic missiles immediately condensed and hit the metal shield, causing ripples like water waves.

Eric nodded: "It's not inspired by magic items, it comes from within the soul. Evans, you are indeed a ring magician."

After speaking, he turned around and took out two badges from the dark black cabinet, put one of them together with the silver-gray paper into the iron cage with the bell hanging on it, and then pulled the bell sling.

There was a tinkling sound, and the iron cage lit up in bright silver, which slowly went out after a minute.

When it was taken out, the silver-gray paper was the same as the other metallic papers on the bookshelf, extending a bright silver line into the light on the wall.

And a deep black ring has appeared on the silver-backed badge, which seems to have been embedded in it, and it is difficult to erase.

"This magician badge will record your name, age, imprinted breath of spiritual power, magic level, and arcane points you have. You must pass it when receiving and paying arcane points in the future. No one else can use it except yourself." Eric handed the two badges to Lucien, asking him to imprint his mental power inside, "I have a copy of this information here, and a copy in the reference room of the Supreme Jury, so don't think about modifying it yourself. Magic level and arcane points."

"With this badge, you can go to the 'Mission Area' to accept guidance tasks, and receive arcane and magic basic books and meditation methods. At the same time, as a magician of the first ring, you can receive materials worth one Jintaler in the council a month or potions, and can also be used to borrow books."

Lucien put the activated magician badge on his left chest, then looked at the black arcane badge in his hand and said, "Mr. Eric, I want to activate the arcane badge, is it with you?"

"Yes. You will write the unique magic that you need to submit to me in parchment, and I will send it to the 'Arcane Review Committee' with a magic circle. I believe that the evaluation result will be available within half an hour." Eric said plainly Answer, it's not a little strange, this kind of thing that relies on unique magic to activate the arcane badge will always be encountered once in a while.

After finishing speaking, he added: "Don't worry, I won't peek."

Lucien smiled slightly: "I understand, Mr. Eric. But what about arcane research papers? Besides submitting to the 'Arcane Review Committee', do I need to submit it to a journal myself?"

"Thesis?!" Eric raised his head, his pale gray eyes looked at Lucien for the first time since the initial sizing.
