Throne of Magical Arcana

——The second watch is after eleven o'clock.

………………………………………………………………………

The next morning, the warm sun shone on Allinge, and a carriage drove along a remote road to a wide building in the dark green forest.

"Lucien, after you finish reporting, I'll take you to meet Jerome and Rock, and then you can exchange books recorded from the library." Lazar, who was still in a black double-breasted frock coat, read Glancing at the desolate evergreen forest outside the window, "However, you have to remember that you cannot exchange new magic created or improved by others in private, unless it has passed the one-hundred-year limit."

"The learning of arcane and magic knowledge is difficult for others to detect, and it is also exchanged by the council with acquiescence, but as long as you are found to use this new magic, and there is no record of learning it in the 'magic exchange hall' or its inventor, It is a very serious crime, and you will either have to pay a hundred times the exchange price to make up for it, or you will be thrown into the Arcatraz for ten years, and the memory of this aspect will be erased by a high-level magician using hypnosis.”

Lucien nodded intently: "I see."

At the same time, Lucien is very appreciative of the strategy of the Magic Council. In the theory of arcane and magic, authors will be rewarded with arcane points and arcane points when their papers and books pass the review, but there will be no arcane in the future. Points of income, all depends on the number of citations to get arcane points, so the authors of books in the library actually hope that their books will be exchanged for free, which will increase their possibility of being cited. As for the private communication of magicians, as long as the Magic Council acquiesces, no one will take care of it.

And new magic directly means power, not for arcane points and subsequent rich arcane points. No magician is willing to hand them over, so they must be strictly protected.

"Hehe, in fact, there are quite a few unique magics within the major organizations that have not been submitted to the Arcane Review Committee. For example, our 'Elemental Will' and the Royal Magic Court of Holm share a legendary magic of the great arcanist Her Excellency Hathaway' Element decomposition', as long as you add 'elemental will', you can exchange and try to analyze this magic after you become a nine-ring magician, laying a solid foundation for future advanced legends." Lazar did not let go of any of the propaganda adding elements Of course, this is also because he regards Lucien as his friend and is more optimistic about his future.

Lucien said with a not-so-good expression: "I will consider it when I have a formal Arcanist rank."

In fact, due to the relationship between Natasha and the secret "professor" status, Lucien tends to join the elemental will, so that even if the professor's identity is exposed in the future, there will be big organizations and bosses to support him, but since Lucien has traveled to How could the world with a soul not be interested in similar knowledge?

Moreover, if he really wanted to join the will of the elements, Lucien would have to join in with an attitude of being valued by others, unlike the original Wilfrid-led necromancers recruited by the 'Pale Hand'.

That incident was still fresh in Lucien's memory.

Lazar understood the reason why Lucien didn't smile much, so he didn't say any more, he laughed and said, "Lucien, are you still grieving about the money you paid for the materials?"

"En." Lucien's expression suddenly turned ugly. Seventeen kinds of purified elements cost him two high-quality Hailan stones, and now he only has one high-quality Hailan stone and two gold pagodas left. Le, an arcane point, ether, goblin hair and other miscellaneous materials, officially entered the 'commoner' class in the magician.

Lazar patted Lucien on the shoulder and comforted him: "You should be glad that there are 48 other purified elemental materials in the magic school. When you apply for an experiment, it can be 90% cheaper than outside. And if it is your turn Instructing apprentices to do magic experiments that are familiar with the properties of elements will not cost a single copper fil. Hehe, the magic school also provides small garden villas for the teachers to live in. You can even save the cost of renting a house. What a great job. "

"That's true." Lucien was only slightly depressed that the money was really not enough to spend, but he was actually quite calm. At the same time, before coming here, he had used the Douglas School of Witchcraft and Magic as his contact point to return the letter of invitation to the "Ordinary Arcanist Monthly" and submitted it to the "Magician Management Department".

The carriage slowly stopped in front of the pointed and hollowed-out black iron gate full of the architectural style of the ancient magic empire, and a cold and hard black golem shining with metallic luster came over and opened the gate.

…………

A three-story magic tower with a pitch-black spire.

Lucien in a white shirt, brown vest, and double-breasted black long dress sat at the desk.

On the opposite side of Lucien was a bald old man with a gray beard. He was wearing a black ancient magician's robe inlaid with silver and white patterns. Except for his deep blue eyes, his appearance was very ordinary, neither fat nor thin.

"I'm Donald, the principal of the Douglas School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Welcome, Evans, to join us." The bald old man nodded with a smile, sorting out a document in his hand, and wearing the badges of a fourth-level Arcanist and a five-ring magician on his chest .

Lucien stood up, politely took off his black top hat, put it on his chest, and bowed slightly: "Hi, Principal Donald, you can call me Lucien directly."

"Hehe, fortunately, another Evans in our school likes to be called K, or Mr. K. Otherwise, if I call Lucien, I'm afraid everyone doesn't know who to refer to." Donald found a document and handed it to Lu Xien. Sean, "This is a course offered by our school, you can take a look first."

Lucien took the document and looked at it carefully. There were "Common Language", "Ancient Magic Empire Language", "Abyssal Language", "Infernal Language", "Magic Pharmacy (Elementary)", "Elemental Basics", "Basics of Electromagnetics", "Basics of Necromancers", "Magic Structure (Elementary)", "Basics of Alchemy"... "Introduction to Magic Array", "Magic Analysis", "Common Sense of Summoning"..."Introduction to Customs of Some Countries" , "History of Magic", "Music Lesson".

"Music class?" Lucien could understand other classes, but he actually saw a music class here.

Donald stroked his gray beard, and said with a chuckle, "You need to let the apprentices relax properly. Lucien, you came from the opposite side of the Storm Strait, are you good at musical instruments? Do you want to take part in a music lesson? Last month A magician who also served as a music teacher was dismissed because he violated school rules and had an intimate relationship with a female apprentice, and we happened to be short of manpower."

"By the way, Lucien, you are a handsome young man. Don't violate the school rules. It's best to stay away from those beautiful female apprentices—they always treat the knowledgeable, powerful, and handsome magic teachers. Full of goodwill. If there is something that really moves your heart, let her drop out of school, so that it will not violate the school rules."

Due to the continuous consumption of money yesterday, Lucien didn't pay attention to the matter of the female apprentice at all, and subconsciously asked: "If I take the music class as a part-time job, can I get a little more salary?" He has no interest in young apples.

"Of course, two more arcane points per month." Donald nodded easily.

Lucien replied without hesitation: "I'm good at piano and violin." If it wasn't for the fear of hurting John and the others, Lucien would have planned to hold a concert in the Kingdom of Holm.

"Not bad young man, he is good at the same thing as the musician with the same name and surname as you." Donald didn't bother with this, and continued: "Lucien, you just arrived in the council, and you haven't laid a solid foundation in arcane arts and magic yet. , so I will arrange for you to teach the three courses of 'Ancient Magic Empire Language', 'Encyclopedia of Magical Creatures' and 'Hellish Language', two classes a week for a total of ten lessons, what's your opinion?"

Since hell language and abyss language involve magic contracts, summoning rituals, etc., the magicians of the ancient magic empire are very good at it, and there are corresponding introductions in "Book of Astrology and Elements".

"I have no opinion, but can I choose a class?" Lucien asked tentatively. It would be great if he could continue to teach Annick and the others. After all, watching several apprentices being mentored by him also gave him a sense of satisfaction.

"Okay, anyway, we have to rearrange the teachers of these courses." Donald didn't object, and let Lucien choose two classes for formal magic apprentices, including the "thorn tree" class where Annick and other new apprentices were, music Lesson is part-time in this class, too.

After arranging Lucien's courses and the rooms in the garden villa, Donald clasped his hands, pressed his chin, and said seriously: "Lucien, there is one thing that I think I need to tell you first."

"Principal Donald, please speak." Lucien replied sincerely.

Donald's voice became low and deep: "Lucien, you should know that it is the dream of many low-level magicians to work in Allinge and nearby magic schools, right? And Douglas School of Witchcraft and Magic is the one with the best conditions in the entire magic world, so there is no Sorcerers of the official arcanist rank have never been considered by us."

"Originally, you were not allowed to enter our school according to the requirements, but a gentleman from the 'Affairs Committee' thought that your logic was clear and rigorous, and your thinking was well-organized, and your first paper was evaluated as 'groundbreaking', which is very good. Arcanist talent, so you are specially approved to enter the school, so that you have a good environment to learn and grow."

"I have no opinion on this, because it is normal to value talented magicians. In the magical world where the higher the level, the greater the gap in strength, as long as a talented magician grows up, he is better than other ordinary magicians. Magicians are many times. Resources and privileges should be tilted towards people like you."

"The reason why I tell you is to remind you, don't think that you have nothing else to worry about after entering Douglas School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, so that you can become lazy, waste and squander your talent. If you can't get the official arcanist rank within a year, I will An application will be made to the 'Committee' to remove you from the school. Of course, I am sure you can do it."

"Also, although the teachers who can enter the Douglas School of Witchcraft and Magic are not middle-level arcanists or magicians, they all have their own specialties, and many of them are no worse than you, Lucien, in arcane arts. There are those who have already proven themselves, such as K is a second-level arcanist. Communicating with them more will benefit you a lot, Lucien."

Donald tapped Lucien calmly but solemnly, lest he have extravagant and indulgent thoughts and ruin his future.

Lucien nodded earnestly: "Thank you, Principal Donald, for your reminder. I will keep it in my heart. You must be diligent and hardworking if you have talent. By the way, I don't know which committee member specially approved me to enter the school? I want to be careful. thank him."

Donald nodded in satisfaction: "You don't need to know this. If you can become an intermediate arcanist, maybe he will really pay attention to you. Well, during the day, the magic laboratory is only open to students, and the afternoon classes are over. , you can use it for free. Well, the last sentence, abide by the school rules, and classes will start tomorrow."

While speaking, he handed Teacher Lucien's nameplate and a few pages of paper, which contained a total of 200 school rules.

Lucien suddenly felt a slight pain in his head, there were so many school rules, then he put away the papers, put on his top hat and left the principal's office.
