Throne of Magical Arcana

"Mr. X? Hehe, he looks like that kind of mysterious and evil villain." After getting acquainted with Lucien, Lazar showed his enthusiastic, talkative and unrestrained character even more.

Lucien laughed and said, "When I do something big that shocks the entire magic world, I will leave a bloody letter X on the spot."

"The bloody X letter? It feels great! But why does it always remind me of the few words left by the professor in the purification sequence when he killed the traitor? It's so fascinating and cold." Lazar said to himself Intoxicated, she didn't notice the slight change in the face of the friend beside her.

With the passage of time, the reason why the professor had the purification sequence in the first place spread a little bit, especially Rogerio, who was sent by the Magic Council, lived in Alto for a while.

"Hehe." Lucien laughed dryly, and quickly changed the subject, discussing the famous small alchemy shop in Allinge.

During the discussion, the two soon arrived at the "Mage Management Department". This time Lucien successfully activated the arcane badge. A faint light appeared on the deep black background, and seven silver dots shone faintly on it, which was a deep mystery. .

This badge is mainly to record the name, arcane points and arcane level, and has no other magical effects, but according to what Lazar said, after becoming a middle-level arcanist, this badge will have a constant magic effect. Another one is constant, and the same is true for similar magic badges.

"Evans, do you decide to add an X after your name?" Eric asked seriously while watching Lucien wear the arcane badge on his left chest. Lazar had already called Mr. X affectionately several times just now. up.

Lucien nodded solemnly: "Yes, Mr. Eric, what else do you need?"

"It's nothing, just to remind you to arrange your life and residence for a period of time in the future as soon as possible, and then come to me and leave your contact address and method. By the way, when you reply to the invitation letter of "Ordinary Arcanist Monthly", you'd better It is also attached, maybe you will be in touch frequently in the future. Please come in, the door is unlocked." Eric reminded a few words casually.

At this time, someone was knocking on the door of Eric's office.

Seeing that Eric was still busy, Lucien and Lazar quickly left.

"Mr. Eric seems to be very busy..." Lucien glanced back.

Lazar seemed to have heard some joke, and laughed: "Because he only works two days and fourteen hours a week, and the rest is for learning magic and conducting magic experiments by himself. And the salary is generous, 30 hours a month. The income of a quintal or arcane point does not affect the usual earning from receiving tasks, inventing magic, etc.”

"The ten deacons in the magician management department take turns doing things like this. It's really enviable, but it's a pity that the benefits are only available to intermediate magicians."

Lucien felt envious spontaneously: "There is less time to do things, more pay, and it seems to be very close to home. It is really a perfect job."

"If the council doesn't arrange it like this, not many mid-level magicians are willing to do this kind of tedious and low-status management work. After all, the most important thing for magicians is to learn magic and arcane arts and improve their own strength. Those who hope to make progress will indulge in the accumulation of wealth." Lazar was young, and it was the time when he was flourishing, so he naturally looked down on the kind of decadent magician who gave up hope.

His expression became serious: "By the way, Lucien, have you considered what you will mainly do in the future? Do you want to conduct magic experiments and study with peace of mind to make up the foundation of arcane magic, or explore and complete tasks to obtain a lot of wealth, and then buy magic?" Items, exchange potions, materials, etc. to improve strength?"

"Study and conduct magic experiments with peace of mind." Lucien has lived in a depressed situation for more than a year and has experienced many dangers, so he is not in the mood to take risks for the time being.

Lazar returned to his normal smile: "Then I suggest you wait to choose a job at a magic school."

"Why?" Lucien also planned not to do any tasks or work, but to concentrate on studying the arcane and magic knowledge in the Magic Council's library first, and wait until he has figured out the level of each field of the Magic Council and supplemented the basic knowledge. After passing the second ring, make other plans.

Lazar laughed and said: "First of all, your guidance task can only be considered as half completed, and then you can choose to teach two formal magic apprentices to become high-level and pass the routine inspection of the 'Apprentice Assessment Department', but you There will be no remuneration for a copper fair. You can also choose to work in a magic school, which not only has a salary, but also as long as six apprentices in the magic class you teach become high-level, the task will be completed, which is very easy."

"And I remember Lucien, you only have sixty quintales and nine arcane points?"

"Yes." Lucien nodded honestly.

Lazar patted his palm lightly: "Although this sum of money is wealth that cannot be saved in a lifetime for ordinary civilians, it is a stone thrown into the sea for magicians, and it cannot be splashed much. As long as you want to gain more knowledge and master stronger power, magician is definitely the most money-consuming profession."

"Lucien, you need money to go to the library to borrow books, rent the 'auxiliary meditation room', you need money, and when conducting magic experiments, both the laboratory and the materials need money, and you need money to analyze and release magic over and over again. Just pay For daily needs, sixty gold towers can be used for about half a year. And when your level increases, the materials you need will become more and more precious. At that time, maybe a magic experiment or a summoning attempt will consume sixty gold towers Le."

Lucien nodded lightly: "I once heard a saying that one cannot become a good magician without enough wealth. Fortunately, a magician can obtain money by virtue of his strength."

"So in addition to accepting tasks, taking risks, and refining magic items to obtain wealth, the council also provides two ways. One is that the higher the level of arcane and magic, the cheaper it is to buy materials and rent laboratories from the council. The arcane point rewards for level papers are very rich, and the arcane point exchanged for the new magic invented is enough for arcanists who are good at exploration and research to live a luxurious life after deducting the magic consumption."

Lazar seems to be very envious of this kind of arcanist, "The other is that several arcanists and magicians unite to propose a research idea for arcane or magic in a certain field. Approval will not only provide magic laboratories, alchemy devices, etc. for free, but also directly give a large number of arcane points, unfortunately, most of the similar research projects are led by high-level arcanists."

Lucien couldn't help but twitched the corners of his mouth, thinking silently: "Is this the rhythm that will let me cheat funds in the future?"

"For us junior magicians, if we don't want to explore or take on more dangerous tasks, we must either have a good teacher who can follow us and conduct magic experiments, or find a good job to do. It is the favorite choice of novice magicians."

Lazar clicked his tongue twice, "If you become a teacher of the magic school, Lucien, you only need to attend ten classes and twenty hours a week, and arrange the rest of the time by yourself. Although the salary is only ten arcane points a month , but Lucien, you have to remember that teachers can use the magic learning laboratory for free, and the school's basic library can be read by teachers for free, and the materials for guiding apprentices to do experiments are also provided by the school for free..."

"How can I get such a good job?" To be honest, Lucien was moved, especially when he heard that the magic laboratory and the basic library were free. How much money can that save! Lucien has always been a bit of a money fanatic.

Lazar patted Lucien on the shoulder: "Just based on the seven arcane points you got on the first day, and the evaluation of the word 'groundbreaking' on your arcane thesis. Hehe, although the council has a 'support Remote magic school mission', calling for low-level magicians to become teachers in magic schools in several remote counties, but I think you don't want to leave Allinge in a short time, right?"

"Then I'll see if I can enter the five magic schools in Allinge." Lucien didn't expect that after taking the nickname "Professor", he would actually become a magic teacher. Now, Lazar, are there any mandates for Parliament?"

Lucien remembered the matter of the pale hand.

"Yes, one per year. But at the low level, only the guidance task is mandatory. After all, the council hopes that we can learn magic with peace of mind and grow up as soon as possible. After becoming an intermediate magician, if the task is too dangerous compared to our own strength, we can pay a certain amount. After the price is exchanged for a new mission." Lazar has no objection to this, because there is no mandatory mission.

Only then did Lucien feel relieved, and nodded slightly: "This is the best."

…………

The "mission area" in the fifth area is composed of silver-gray metal counters. Behind each counter is a dark green magic water curtain, which shows each task. There are tasks issued by the parliament, submitted by magicians, nobles or businessmen. Published.

Lazar and Lucien looked around and saw that there was no one at the counter, so they walked over,

Behind the counter was an ordinary-looking middle-aged lady. She asked nonchalantly, "Are you accepting the mission or handing it in?"

"Submit the completion of the task." Lucien handed her the proof document and the magic badge produced by the "Apprentice Assessment Department".

The middle-aged lady took the document and looked at it, wrote a few words on it, and then placed it and the magic badge on the magic circle carved on the right side of the silver-gray counter, then pulled the rope, and the bell that Lucien was familiar with rang and silver light.

When the light disappeared, there was an extra piece of parchment inside the magic circle - if you want to teleport in the magic circle, you must use specially treated parchment by magic means instead of ordinary white paper.

The middle-aged lady picked it up and glanced at it, then said with a cold attitude: "Lucien Evans, the task is half done, will you guide the apprentices selected by the council alone next, or accept the task of 'supporting remote magic schools'?"

While speaking, she took out the basic books on arcane arts and magic that seemed to be ready at any time, and the thick stacks were piled high.

"I want to apply to enter one of the five magic schools in Allinge." Lucien replied politely.

The middle-aged woman raised her eyes and snorted coldly: "Don't waste my time, please make a choice."

"Did the council prohibit me from applying to the five magic schools in Allinge?" Seeing that she had a bad attitude, Lucien kept calm and said.

The middle-aged woman gave Lucien a sideways look: "No. But you are an ancient inheritance magician, and you just arrived at the parliament yesterday, so I think you are wasting your time. Even if I have a formal arcanist level, I have no hope of entering it." Linge's five magic schools, what do you use to pass the application? Please choose the mission as soon as possible, otherwise I will complain to the 'Mage Management Department' that you disrupted the normal operation of the mission area."

"Since there is no prohibition, if you refuse to apply for Lucien, I will report to the 'Affairs Committee' that you have violated the 'Mission Area Management Law'." Lazar said sharply. angered by the attitude.

Seeing that Lazar is familiar with the rules, he doesn't look like a newly arrived ancient inheritance magician, and Lucien is also seriously looking at the first-level arcanist, second-ring magician badges and task area management nameplates on his left chest. The young woman "Lovet" said angrily: "Since you are going to waste time, then waste it. Kindly remind you that you don't know how to be grateful."

Then she took out a document from the counter and handed it to Lucien together with the quill, urging him to fill it out quickly.

On it are name, age, level of magician, level of arcanist, good at magic school and approved thesis, new magic, etc.

Lucien thought for a while, and after filling in the first few items, he also copied the specific evaluation of his thesis. Since he wanted to fight for it, he couldn't be negligent. What about evaluation?

After urging a few times, the middle-aged woman Lao Weite took Lucien's document with a sullen expression on her face. After a closer look, her expression darkened immediately: "Is this true? If you cheat, you will be severely punished!"

"You can check my arcane badge." Lucien handed over the arcane badge blankly.

Lowitt looked at the seven silver dots with a dark face, then put the document and two badges into the magic circle, and pulled the bell.

Then she half closed her eyes, as if praying for something.

The speed of feedback was very fast. Ten minutes later, the magic circle lit up with a light green light, and the bell rang quickly.

Lowitt looked at the documents and badges inside like a scourge, then gritted his teeth and picked it up.

She just swept it a little, and her face immediately collapsed, as black as if she could drip water.

Taking the document from the silent Lauwitt, Lucien unfolded it:

"In view of the faction you are good at, Mr. Evans, we arrange for you to enter the Douglas School of Witchcraft and Wizardry."

The transitional chapter, so more than 3,900 words are given to everyone. .
