Throne of Magical Arcana

The fifteenth floor of the Parliament Magic Tower, in another room.

The crisp bell sound was sweet and clear, and a puppet bounced over after hearing the sound, then picked up the paper and flipped through it: "Sonic paper? Apprentice level? The master explained that it is related to high-level magic or the latest arcane field. The master’s students are not here today, hey, I can only hand it over to the reviewing arcanists of the "Ordinary Arcanist Monthly"."

After recognizing the level of magic, it waited another five minutes until the "scream of the bat" passed the identification and was transmitted. Then the puppet greeted a beautiful bird with red beak and green hair outside the window to come down, and put together several papers accumulated today. Roll it up and tie it up, let it fly to another magic tower in Allinge with the tie in its mouth.

It is very difficult to teleport if they are not in the same magic tower.

The bird flew extremely fast, and its feathers could create a light green barrier to block the strong wind, so it quickly disappeared from the puppet's sight.

…………

On the third floor of a magic tower as blue as the sky, in a very crowded and messy room full of books.

A middle-aged gentleman with a golden mustache was looking at the journal in front of him, frowning in thought.

Learning the latest research results in their respective fields is one of the main ways for magicians of their level to go further.

Suddenly, he heard the sound of something pecking at the outer energy barrier of the magic tower, so he smiled and put down the journal in his hand, and pressed a magic button on the table in front of him.

The energy barrier was withdrawn, the window was opened, and a bird with a red beak and green hair flew in, walked proudly on the table for a few steps before putting down the papers in its mouth: "Mr. Woods, this is today's paper, please Review."

The sound is as melodious as its chirping.

Woods took out a handful of snow-white strange particles and threw it to the bird: "Selena, is there a magic assessment? If not, then come and get it at this time tomorrow."

Selena pecked at the granules in satisfaction, and said, "There is one, Mr. Woods, hurry up and decide."

Hearing this, Woods untied the lacing rope and found the parchment with the new magic written on it:

"The scream of the bat, the apprentice-level magic... Hey, it's interesting." Woods, who was originally casual, browsed the principle and construction process behind, and his face was full of surprise.

After he finished reading, he couldn't help but bent his fingers and tapped on the wooden table, mumbling in his mouth: "This, this, this... there should be corresponding papers?"

While speaking, he turned over other parchments:

""A Little Bat Flying Experiment Explores the Application of Sound Waves in the Field of Magic Detection"? Lucien Evans? That's it."

Taking out the paper, he read it carefully from the beginning:

"...a magician with a spirit of discovery, possessing the basic potential of an arcanist."

"The research on creatures in the past magic empire and the current magic council was basically limited to the field of magic creatures and human beings. Few people studied ordinary creatures. Even if there were, they were similar to the strength of bears and the agility of cats. No wonder No one has ever discovered that small bats fly by sound rather than vision."

"...The design and elimination process of the controlled experiment is quite exciting and rigorous. Although it does not involve much knowledge of arcane arts, this way of thinking and thinking mode is worth advocating and learning. It is very consistent with the spirit of exploration of arcane arts... Huh , There is only one ring of magicians alone? This young magician has no arcane level? It's really surprising!" While reading, he couldn't help turning to the front to see the author's signature and level.

"Lucien Evans, this name is too common to think of who it is, but I believe that he will often see his name in the future. I have to suggest that he add a letter after his name when he publishes a paper to distinguish him from other people with the same name. "

After carefully reading the paper, Woods stood up and ordered his apprentice to catch two little bats.

Although I don't understand why Mr. Woods wants bats, the requirements of a fourth-level arcanist and a four-ring magician cannot be violated. Fortunately, bats can also be used as formulas for several magic potions, so he can find two in ten minutes. .

Woods repeated Lucien's experiment in a very short time, his expression becoming more and more excited: "It is really possible to use high-frequency echolocation, which allows sonic magic to break through the previous limitations, and is no longer just for shocking, destroying and killing people. Just use it!"

Sonic magic is generally classified into various factions scatteredly. For example, Hormanz's Choke series is a force field system, and Banshee's Howl is a necromancy system.

Suppressing his desire to write a paper immediately to explore the application, Woods sat back in his seat, picked up the quill and wrote the evaluation results on the front of Lucien's paper:

"Creatively..."

The same scene also appeared in another magic tower, but it became the headquarters of the journal "Sonic".

…………

In the lobby of the "Magician Management Department", Lucien was sitting on the sofa, drinking "Sky Blue", a non-alcoholic drink highly recommended by Lazar. It was sweet and moist, and Lucien liked it.

In the transparent glass wine glass, the pure blue liquid slowly rippled as Lucien swayed. While drinking, he and Lazar leisurely talked about various common senses of the Magic Council.

Seeing that it was almost 5:40, when the magic tower of the parliament headquarters was closed, two mages were sitting in the lobby enjoying drinks without any haste. Cindy and Donna were very curious, so they became more lively Cindy quietly stretched her neck and whispered: "Mr. Lazar, Mr. Evans, do you have anything else to do in the management department?"

Lazar pointed at Lucien and said with a smile: "I'll accompany Evans to wait for the result of his new magic evaluation, hehe, and the result of the thesis review. But the thesis review usually takes three days to come out, Cindy, you know, the review committee The gentlemen here are all big shots, and they have always been 'rigorous' in doing things, so the speed is very slow."

"Of course, the gentlemen of the review committee have their own endless research, exploration and family entertainment." Cindy first answered Lazar's words, and then turned to Lucien in amazement, "Mr. Evans' paper? "

Lazar nodded affirmatively.

Both Cindy and Donna half-opened their mouths and heheed twice: "Mr. Evans, have you studied arcane art before?"

"After studying for more than a month, although I feel that I have made good progress, that paper is just some experience in improving magic." Lucien took a sip of "Sky Blue".

The two girls oh, and Cindy smiled and said: "Although such a thesis may not be high, I think that new magic will definitely bring you the activation of the arcane badge for you, Mr. Evans. And Mr. Evans, you are The first person I met who dared to submit a paper on the day he joined the parliament, hey, congratulations on being included in the 'Cindy's History'!"

Getting along with such a lively girl will make people feel less stressed and restrained. Lucien chuckled lightly and said, "It's really an honor."

The four young people chatted and laughed for a while, Lazar took out his pocket watch and looked at it: "It's 5:40, Evans, let's go to Mr. Eric's office to check the audit results, I hope you can activate the Austrian smoothly." Badge of Art."

"I hope Mr. Evans can get arcane points for you." The two girls followed suit.

…………

In Eric's office.

"The review results haven't been returned yet. Don't tell me the gentlemen in the field of the review committee have something important to do today." Even Eric, who pays attention to appearance and majesty, couldn't help asking questions. Normally, the review of apprentice-level magic can produce results within 20 minutes. After all, everyone knows that the gentlemen of the committee will definitely not evaluate this level of magic by themselves.

Lazar was a little worried for Lucien: "Mr. Eric, it will be six o'clock in twenty minutes, can you let us wait for the result here?"

"There should be nothing else, you can sit down as you please." After Eric was puzzled, he took out a magic book without disturbing his rhythm, and began to analyze the magic with the help of the auxiliary magic circle, without wasting any time.

Lucien was quite calm, because it meant that the "Scream of the Bat" had passed the review of the "Magic Exchange Hall", and it was a new magic in the standard sense, otherwise it might only take five minutes to be called back. I have at least one arcane point.

With Eric's concentration on his studies and Lazar's slightly worried, the office was a bit oppressively quiet.

In this atmosphere, the time passed by every minute and every second. Seeing that the minute hand of Lazar's pocket watch was about to cross the boundary of the third-to-last frame, entering the last ten minutes, the jingle bell rang, and the iron cage automatically lit up with a milky white light.

Eric turned off the auxiliary magic circle, put down the quill, stood up, shook his head and said, "It's finally here."

The milky white light disappeared, and Eric became puzzled: "Why are there three documents?"

He first took out a copy and looked at it: "The scream of the bat, apprentice-level magic, the evaluation results of Mr. Garfield and Mr. Jeffrey are both: 'This application direction is groundbreaking magic, but the magic structure has serious flaws. There are many areas that need to be improved, comprehensive level, principle, effect, structure, and meaning, reward three arcane points and four arcane points'."

Eric forgot the other two documents for a moment, looked back at Lucien in surprise, and muttered, "Creative? Three arcane points? This is apprentice-level magic..."

Normally, a new ring of magic only rewards two arcane points, and Eric is very clear about the meaning of the word groundbreaking in the evaluation!

All the magicians present were not low in mental strength. Both Lazar and Lucien heard Eric whispering to himself.

"Mr. Eric, do you mean that the new magic submitted by Evans received three arcane points and groundbreaking evaluation?" Lazar looked at Eric with his head tilted slightly.

Lucien was relatively calm, and didn't quite understand the significance of the three arcane points and groundbreaking. He just thought that since all magic got this evaluation, the thesis shouldn't be much worse.

Eric has recovered his emotions at this time. After all, it is only apprentice-level magic, and he doesn't know the specific content yet. He took a deep look at Lucien: "Yes, it's unbelievable that Evans' apprentice-level magic 'Scream of the Bat' received three arcane points and a groundbreaking evaluation."

As he spoke, he flew the document to Lazar.

After catching it, Lazar looked at it several times before he could believe it. He looked at Lucien like a monster: "Is this magic imitating bats?" This seems to be the direction of ancient magic.

"Yes." Lucien replied affirmatively, "The detection magic that imitates bats."

Lazar leaned on his forehead and sighed: "Is it really enviable? By the way, Mr. Eric, are there two more documents?"

Eric was reminded that there were two more documents, so he picked up another.

His expression froze suddenly, until Lazar whispered and said softly: "Evans' arcane thesis review results are out."

"So fast?!" Lazar couldn't believe that the gentlemen of the committee would finish the review so diligently.

Eric's expression was a bit bitter, and he seemed to recall the situation when he submitted his first arcane thesis:

"Yes, this is the result of the audit. Mr. Garfield's evaluation is: 'The groundbreaking application of sound waves, rigorous experimental design, amazing keen observation and thinking mode, is a weighty, full of research and discussion. It is recommended to reward four arcane points and six arcane points for papers with high value, and it is also suggested that the authors of the papers should add letters after their names to distinguish them from others."

The eyes of the two looked at Lucien at the same time. Such an evaluation had never appeared on a magician who had just been exposed to arcane arts! It also never appeared on a magician's first arcane treatise!
