Throne of Magical Arcana

——I am sorry to ask for half a day off, which is the chapter tomorrow morning, because I need to sort out the outline later, improve the details and arrangements, and maintain a good rhythm. I'll make up this chapter next weekend.

………………………………………………………………………

Wearing this extremely beautiful and delicate Holm crown ring on the middle finger of his right hand, Lucien immediately felt his spiritual power concentrated, his body seemed to be washed by a clear spring, washing away the hidden scars and dust, and he was full of vitality , which almost made Lucien think that both his magician and knight levels had improved.

"As expected of a seventh-level perfect magic ring, the three constant magic effects are obviously refined for my situation." The corners of Lucien's mouth curled up unnoticed. He seemed very happy, "With the 'element' ring, it only takes two to three years for me to raise my soul and spiritual power to the level of the third ring, and if I use arcane points to buy the corresponding magic potion, maybe I can Become an intermediate magician before turning twenty."

If you just simply study the "Book of Astrology and Elements", with Lucien's spiritual talent higher than ordinary magic apprentices but far below the standard of strength and genius, you may have the hope of being promoted to intermediate magic after 20 or 30 years Master, and not very sure, unless the body and soul are transformed through various dangerous, evil, and bloody magic rituals during these years.

But with the mathematical knowledge from the soul library, it is much easier for Lucien to analyze the intermediate magic composed of complex curves and surfaces, and it is easier to construct, and the requirements for soul and mental power are greatly reduced. In about a year, there is hope to hit the third ring. Now there is "Brook's Meditation Method", the "Element" ring, various magic potions, material resources, and a magic research bridge that connects one's knowledge with the laws of this world. As a super magician, soaring in the blue sky is not a dream.

Of course, there is a possibility of failure in any pass advancement, and the more you go back, the more so, if you fail to advance to high-level, archmage, or legend, you will be in danger of death, and you may improve step by step.

"A magic ring of this level is at least worth hundreds of thousands of gold or arcane points, that is, the value of a prosperous city and all its surrounding manors, small towns, and villages is equivalent to that of a rich viscount or a relatively poor earl The entire family and property. In comparison, the rewards of the Magic Council are really pitiful, no wonder the Holm Crown Award is the highest honor in the field of elements and alchemy, and the value of this ring alone sets it off."

Lucien carefully looked at the ring on his right hand, and his thoughts were racing: "I heard that several other awards set up after Holm's crown are also rewarding magic items of the seventh level of perfection. Medals are badges, wizard laurels are things that can be worn on the head such as crowns, headgear, mage hats, glasses, etc., and arcane scepters are magic staffs. They are all expensive, valuable and effective. If you can get them... "

Thinking about it, Lucien felt that his saliva was about to flow out, so he cleared his throat and kept calm.

On the opposite side, Morris saw Lucien staring at Holm's crown ring in a daze, and probably could feel his mood. He just felt like a knife was piercing his heart. Refining this ring was very important for him, an archmage of both elements and alchemy. It is not too difficult to say, but if you want to achieve the perfect level and maintain three magic effects, the materials used are very precious and rare, and often have no market. Most of the time, even if you use a country to exchange them, you cannot exchange them.

Thinking of the elemental will that I have to inspect and appreciate every day and the demiplane warehouse of the Royal Magic Court of Holm lacking a lot of materials, Morris is really in the mood to vomit blood. Fortunately, in terms of frequency, Holm Crown Award It will only be issued once every ten years, so it won't drive him crazy.

After the awards ceremony, most of the arcanists disappeared without a trace within five minutes. They were anxious to try Lucien's idea of ​​purifying those elements.

Lucien reluctantly put down his right hand, and was about to go back to Allinge with Lazar. At this time, Gaston with gray hair, strange deep yellow eyes and hooked nose came together with a mature and beautiful blonde.

"Evans, I don't know how you feel about our elemental will? Are you interested in joining?" Gaston said straight to the point, and Morris, who hadn't left yet, watched with a smile.

Lucien submitted the periodic table of elements in order to get the attention of the will of the elements, so he naturally replied without hesitation: "I am very interested in elemental magic, and the communication with the arcanists of the will of the elements is also very pleasant, very happy Join the elemental will."

Gaston nodded in satisfaction, then glanced at Morris. Morris laughed, and stretched out his right hand: "As the president, all arcanists on behalf of Elemental Will welcome Evans to join you. As a meeting ceremony, you can go to the headquarters of Elemental Will, which is Holm Royal Magic The tower picks potions, materials, or magic items worth two thousand arcane points."

If it is a low-level magician, the will of the elements is the same as the pale hand, only giving things ranging from 50 to 200 arcane points, and although Lucien has not updated the arcane badge, in the eyes of everyone , he is already a genuine Tier 4 Arcanist, and has the glory halo bonus of the Holm Crown Award!

"Then what obligations do I have?" After shaking hands, Lucien asked earnestly. Although he liked the rule of giving gifts as soon as he joined, Lucien still insisted on being short-mouthed and soft on others. It is very clear, such as those poor necromancers led by Wilfried.

Morris adjusted the neckline of his purple elemental magic robe, and replied with a smile: "We protect the members of the organization so that they can grow smoothly in the Magic Council. Similarly, we also need members to contribute to the organization. Generally speaking, It is in the form of giving tasks. Of course, if you feel that the task is too dangerous, you can pay an appropriate price to change it. We will not force members to do things that they are not sure of. Of course, Evans, you are only a ring magician. For you A genius with insufficient strength but great potential will only give you research tasks before becoming a mid-level or even a high-level one."

"Then I'm relieved, thank you, Your Excellency Morris." Lucien thought for a while, but still didn't take out the Holm crown ring that Natasha gave him.

Morris patted Lucien on the shoulder: "You have sharp thinking, rigorous logic, and modest character. I am very optimistic about your future, and I hope you can move forward on the path of arcane arts. Okay. Alright, you wait until Holm’s Royal Magic Tower to register and receive the items, and Flo Rosa will explain the rest to you about your mission.”

Then he took his eyes off Holm's crown ring with difficulty, and walked out of the hall with Gaston, leaving Lucien alone to face the mature and beautiful Florence.

Florence smiled faintly, her beautiful green eyes undisguisedly looked at Lucien from top to bottom, and finally bent her fingers one by one in satisfaction: "Handsome, elegant, polite, smart, and able to talk , sharp thinking, modesty, reputation and status, Lucien, you are a lady's dream girl. To be honest, I want to date you." She called Lucien directly.

Lucien didn't expect this big beauty with a fiery figure and a mature temperament to be so enthusiastic and straightforward as soon as she opened her mouth. She was immediately embarrassed and didn't know how to answer.

Seeing Lucien's reserved look, Florence covered her mouth and giggled, "You're really young, I'm afraid I don't have any experience. It's a pity that I'm already married, otherwise I would have taught you well."

Lucien could only say nothing about the bold style of this married woman.

Florence stopped her laughter, and said charmingly: "Lucien, you are already a fourth-level arcanist, and according to the regulations of the Magic Council, you belong to the middle-level personnel, so you will automatically resign from the Douglas School of Witchcraft and Magic, unless you want to send Donald Kick it off and be headteacher yourself. I'd actually love to see a Holm Crown winner at the school, it would be sensational news."

The kingdoms on the other side of the sea have benefited from the improvement of papermaking and printing as a by-product of magic research. Newspapers and periodicals are much more abundant and active than those on the mainland. When Lucien walks on the streets of Rentat, he often hears that A newsboy shouted: "Newspaper, newspaper, the freshly released Holm Weekly."

"Actually, I like the quiet environment of the school very much." Lucien was quite emotional.

Florence put away her charming expression, and said in a rare serious way: "You are already an intermediate, so you have to accept the mission of the council. I am afraid that some guys who play with the dead will take the opportunity to deal with you, so I have arranged a mission for you in advance. It won’t make you run around and delay your golden stage of absorbing and learning arcane knowledge.”

"Ms. Florence, what is the mission?" Lucien also became serious.

Florence looked at Lucien's tense and serious face, and suddenly smiled coquettishly, "Don't be so serious, it's a very simple task. Some druids in the eastern Stroop Forest followed their big His Excellency Malfurion, the legendary Elder Druid, came to Allinge to prepare a joint research project with the Magic Council."

"This great elder has been guarding the forest and the land. At the same time, he is full of sympathy for the farmers at the bottom. He thinks that after a year of hard work, the food they harvest is only enough to pay the lord tax and barely starve to death. They often cannot survive. Fifty years old, there is no hope when natural disasters and other agricultural production are reduced. And the druids under his command include less than 1,000 apprentices, even if the total number of druids in the whole continent is less than 10,000, and they can cast spells It also consumes mental power, so trying to help farmers increase production through spells can only benefit a few people, and even farmers in a country cannot be completely helped."

"And even if it is helped this year, it will be restored the next year, and even some spells will cause serious damage to the land. Therefore, this time, the villages near the Stroop Forest have suffered a large-scale reduction in production due to the drought. Lord Malfurion finally made a decision. Determined to seek the aid of our council to see how effectively their spells can be transformed into alchemical products that can be popularized to increase the yield and resistance of the land to disasters."

"This task is to reverse analyze their spells, figure out the principles, and then simplify and popularize them. This requires a deep arcane foundation, so the council is led by Lord Stormmaster, Lord Hathaway, and Lord Soul Master." , Mr. Lavender, Mr. Gaston, etc. will participate, and they will draw a lot of people from necromancers and elements. You just need to join one of the groups and follow along to learn. Anyway, if you fail, there will be big people on it.”

The druid's spells are different from the magician's magic and the church's divine spells. They seem to be somewhere in between. ", the Magic Council has long planned to study their magic system and figure out the root cause. This time Malfurion came to the door automatically, so he naturally attached great importance to it, and the three great arcanists took the lead in person. Lucien just needs to gain some experience and take the opportunity to learn the principles of reverse analysis and mathematical knowledge.

Lucien understood what Florence meant. This is a rare learning opportunity, and he might be able to invent new magic with the help of the druid's unique spell: "I went back to deal with the school affairs, and went to the mission area to get it. Task."

Florence smiled charmingly and said: "Very well, I took a lot of effort to get you in. If you didn't have the reputation of the Holm Crown Award, those stubborn druids would not want you to join."

After finishing speaking, Florence's expression changed slightly, she nodded to Lucien and left in a hurry because Lavender came over.

Lavendi took out a blank sheet of paper and handed it to Lucien: "Evans, this is the math book I selected for you. You should study hard and solidify your arcane foundation."

There are forty or fifty books densely packed on it.

Before Lucien could speak, Lavendi took out a stack of thick papers from the storage bag: "I recently asked about you, and I really appreciate your way of improving apprenticeship practice in the magic school. This is my You have collected the topics that are suitable for you over the years, and you can use them to practice hard."

Lucien's expression was immediately embarrassed. Did he lift a stone to hit himself in the foot?

…………

Not long after the Holm Crown Award was issued, the Pale Hand and other internal organizations of the Magic Council, the bishops of the Holm Diocese of the God of Truth, and the nobles of the Holm Kingdom received information one after another.

Only twenty-six winners of the Holm Crown Award in more than two hundred and seventy years will naturally receive attention from all sides.
