Throne of Magical Arcana

——Finally finished writing before twelve o'clock. This chapter is the second chapter added to last month's new book. No debts.

Also, after three days of rushing to Wenjiageng without going out, I remembered that today is the Zongzi Festival, and I almost failed to say happy Dragon Boat Festival to everyone. I haven’t even eaten Zongzi yet.

It's very late, the chapter will be updated tomorrow morning until 12:00 noon, and it will be as usual at night, and then it will be normal.

Happy Zongzi Festival everyone!

Lazar originally thought that he had been surprised and shocked many times today, so he should be numb and no longer be affected by similar emotions, but after hearing Eric's words, he still couldn't help looking at Lucien and said: " Lucien, you are such a monster. Most arcanists below the intermediate level have never received an invitation letter from a journal. Our arcane points all come from the rewards of the review committee, and then rely on being rejected again and again. Occasionally, a few articles are published and then slowly gain points feedback to promote, but often it is impossible to obtain seven arcane points for a few years."

"It has been four years since I graduated from the magic school. I have written more than a dozen arcane research papers. Only three of them passed the review and were included. It was still in the "Arcane Discussion", and it was the penultimate article of that issue. Two. In my impression, the only ones who received invitation letters before the third-level Arcanist were those famous geniuses, such as Mr. Ulysses, such as Mr. Felipe."

His grief and self-deprecating emotions are not too much, similar to a half-joking attitude. At least in terms of enthusiasm and kindness, Lucien felt that he was much better than Felipe.

Eric's mouth moved. He wanted to say that he had never seen the draft invitation letter, but he couldn't say it. It took him 20 years to get 100 arcane points to become a third-level arcanist.

In the end he sighed: "'groundbreaking', to be able to have the word 'groundbreaking' in the evaluation, no wonder there are journals directly asking for manuscripts. Although Evans, your new magic principle seems to have a narrow range of application, but every year there is this evaluation Except for articles by grand arcanists and high-ranking arcanists, there must be no more than ten papers."

"Creative? I understand." Lucien probably understood the importance of this word in papers and evaluations of new magic.

Lazar put away his battered expression, smiled and counted his fingers excitedly: "Creative, groundbreaking, extremely important, popular, and highly exploratory, these five are the highest evaluations of the papers by the gentlemen of the committee. Adjectives. Of course, if your thesis is evaluated as having the ability to change the times, then congratulations, Grand Arcanist Evans!"

Just as Lucien took the document from Eric, the jingling bell in the office rang again, and the milky white light covered the iron cage again.

Eric's face became serious, and he thought to himself: "Is there something important in the parliament?" It was less than a minute before six o'clock.

The light gradually calmed down, and a document appeared in the iron cage. Eric picked it up steadily and quickly to read, and then his expression was full of helplessness:

"Evans, the letter of invitation for the journal "Sound Wave", they promised the position of the first fifteen articles in the journal and can recommend it to three abstract index journals."

He and Lazar have become numb to this, as long as it is not the letter of invitation for "Arcane" and "Magic", then "nothing".

"There will be two good journals sending out invitation letters at the same time." Lazar sighed with a chuckle, "Which one are you going to choose, Lucien? I think the journal "Sound Wave" is more professional in this field, and the citations it gets will There will be more, and the conditions they offer are a little better than the "General Arcanist Monthly". Of course, with the evaluation of 'groundbreaking', the three abstract index journals will be included even if they are not recommended."

There are nearly forty periodicals per month, and a large part of them are repeated studies, so no arcanist is in the mood to read them one by one. At this time, the importance of abstract index journals is reflected.

"I still choose "Common Arcanist Monthly". At least they sent a letter of invitation for writing right away, and it's obvious that they attach great importance to me. Since the conditions are similar, let's come first and then come first." Lucien smiled calmly, using The most simple reason to make a decision.

Lazar somewhat disagrees: "I think..."

Ding ding ding, the sharp voice rang three times, Eric's face changed slightly, and he looked at the arcane badge that had not been activated in his hand: "Evans, it's six o'clock, I'm afraid you have to come and activate it tomorrow."

"Ah, Mr. Eric, is there no other way? I still want to go to the 'Ordinary Arcane Library' and the 'Magic Exchange Room'." Lucien said to Eric with a little eagerness.

Eric shook his head: "Prospell and other alchemy beings have always stopped working on time, and they will never work an extra minute unless their master asks. And even if it is activated now, Evans, you will not be able to enter Ordinary Arcane Library' and 'Magic Exchange Room', because they will be closed at six o'clock. You'd better come tomorrow morning, anyway, the evaluation results of the review committee, arcane points, and arcane points will not disappear."

"After activating the arcane badge, when you reply to the letter of invitation, you'd better add a letter after your name according to the opinions of the gentlemen of the committee, otherwise the reference points will be confusing. As for normal times, there is no need to bother."

Lazar also echoed: "The alchemy life in the parliament headquarters is very lazy." While talking, he looked at the light on the wall, worried about being retaliated by Prosper, "Of course, they are also very diligent when they are busy. Evans, Let's go out for dinner. If you can't leave the parliament headquarters before 6:30, you can only rent a meditation room on the second to ninth floors."

"Okay. Mr. Eric, let's take our leave first." Lucien took back the inactive arcane badge and put it on his body.

…………

In the lobby of the "Magician Management Department", Cindy and Donna were packing up their magic notebooks and other items and were about to leave. When they saw the two come out, they laughed at the same time and said, "Congratulations Evans...uh, Mr. Evans, your arcane badge Not excited yet..."

They hurriedly covered their mouths with their small hands, how could they mention anything that was not good!

"Hehe, sweetheart Cindy, sweetheart Donna, things are not what you imagined." Lazar, who felt that he had a unique 'news', couldn't help showing off to the two girls, "Our dear Mr. Evans is The first person to pass the review of an arcane research paper on the day he joined the Magic Council, the first person to receive a 'groundbreaking' evaluation for his first paper, and the first person to have his first paper published by two journals The person who sent the contract letter to compete..."

"Wow." "Wow." "Wow." Every time he said, Cindy and Donna sighed with emotion.

As high-level magic apprentices, Cindy and Donna deeply understood how rare Lazar's description was, and when he finished talking about the number one, they looked at Lucien with bright eyes: "Mr. Evans, Congratulations on being included in 'Cindy's Annals' ('Donna's Annals'), I hope to see your article in the "Common Arcanist Monthly" sooner."

Then Cindy laughed and said: "Mr. Evans, don't forget us when you become an intermediate magician, we are still waiting to become your apprentice." She said this at this time, she was a little less joking, However, Lucien has not yet passed the basic assessment of arcane art, so it is difficult to say how the arcane and magic path will develop in the future.

"Mr. Evans, don't you invite us to celebrate?" Donna seized the opportunity to get acquainted with Lucien.

Good looking, very young, official status as a magician, highly rated in arcane research papers, gentle and refined, calm and mysterious, such a man can be regarded as a magic apprentice even if Donna is not in love, it is normal to get acquainted with him, maybe Then there are important personal connections.

Lucien smiled and said, "If the two ladies don't mind, I would like to invite you to have dinner with me and Lazar." It is always a good thing to have more familiar people in Allinger.

"Then we will be more polite. By the way, Mr. Evans, since your thesis and new magic have passed the review, and you have obtained a total of seven arcane points, why haven't you activated the arcane badge yet?" Cindy did not refuse Lu Sean's invitation.

Lazar spread his hands and smiled brightly: "Because Mr. Eric was so shocked that he forgot to activate it, hehe, when he remembered, it was already six o'clock."

"Haha. Mr. Eric? It's hard to imagine the stunned expression on Mr. Eric's face..." The two girls laughed softly.

While waiting for the two ladies to pack their belongings, Lazar turned his head and stared at Lucien, with a serious expression on his face, "Lucien, do you know which sentence I'm most jealous of among the evaluations you've received?"

"Creative?" Lucien asked suspiciously.

Lazar shook his head, with a sad expression on his face: "No, it's the sentence 'True Arcanist Thinking Mode'. Among the papers that I failed to pass the review, the most frequently appeared were 'there is a problem with the way of thinking' and 'poor rigor' , 'not a qualifying arcane treatise', etc."

"Thinking more and reading more can change the way of thinking. If I am free, I can pre-review your paper for Lazar." Lucien comforted Lazar.

Lazar immediately recovered his sunny smile: "Then thank you Lucien in advance. But don't worry, I may not be able to have research results and papers in two or three months."

"By the way, Lucien, the apprenticeship assessment is over tomorrow, and your guidance task is half done, so you need to think about the rest of your life. Hehe, think about what you are going to do tonight. When I accompany you to hand in the task tomorrow I'll refer to it for you."

Lucien nodded, the most important thing for him next is to advance, study and research, and when the basics are made up, it's time to shine.

…………

After the four of them enjoyed the special grilled fish and chips of the Kingdom of Holm, Lucien checked into a hotel introduced by Lazar.

The environment was peaceful and the air was fresh, which gave Lucien a good night's sleep.

Early the next morning, Lazar came to the hotel and went to the Apprentice Assessment Department with Lucien.

"Mr. Evans, you really have to come!" As soon as they stepped into the third area, the happy voices of Heidi and Leilia came over. They held books in their hands and looked at Lucien with a little excitement. Take the time to solidify the meaning of constructing graphics.

Annick, who was with them, also scratched his fluffy yellow hair, with a happy smile on his face: "Mr. Evans, good morning."

"Good morning. Just treat the assessment as your usual practice." Lucien started to tease the children and continued, "Don't you think the usual practice is too little and too simple?"

"No, no." The three apprentices subconsciously shook their heads, and their complexions instantly turned a little pale.

At this time, Simeon came out of the office and clapped his hands: "Apprentices, come to the assessment room to accept the assessment."

Splinter, who proudly watched Annick and the others interact with Lucien, walked towards the examination room with his hands in his pockets. When passing by Annick and the others, he whispered: "I really want to see what you have done after receiving the guidance." What kind of level, the way of practice, practice and practice may be required by magic, but it is not suitable for arcane learning."

Katrina on the side stared at Splinter and said with a serious expression: "This time I will beat you!"
