Chapter 35: Follow-up Tasks

- Sorry to take half a day off, it's the chapter tomorrow morning, because you need to sort out the outline later, improve the details and before and after arrangements, and maintain a good rhythm. I'll be filling up this chapter next weekend.

..........................................................................................

After wearing this extremely beautiful and delicate Holm crown ring on the middle finger of his right hand, Lucien immediately felt the condensation of spiritual power, and his body seemed to be washed by a clear spring, washing away the hidden scars and dust, and full of vitality, which almost made Lucien think that his mage and knight level had both increased.

"It is worthy of a seventh-level perfect magic ring, and the constant three magic effects are obviously refined for my situation. The corners of Lucian's mouth curled up imperceptibly, and his side of wealth addiction and collecting habit made him look very happy, "With the 'elemental' ring, it will only take me about two to three years to raise my soul and spiritual power to the level of the three rings, and if I use the arcane points to buy the corresponding magic potions, maybe I can also become a mid-level magician before I turn twenty." ”

If you just study the Book of Astrology and Elements, with Lucian's mental power talent that is higher than that of ordinary magic apprentices but far from the standard of strength and genius, he may only have the hope of being promoted to a mid-level magician in twenty or thirty years, and he is not very sure, unless he transforms his body and soul through various dangerous, evil, and bloody magical rituals during these years.

However, with the mathematical knowledge from the Soul Library, Lucien was much simpler and easier to construct when analyzing the mid-level magic composed of complex curves and curved surfaces, and the requirements for soul and spiritual power were greatly reduced, and it only took about ten years to hope for the impact of the Three Rings. Now there is the "Brooke Meditation Method", the "Elemental" ring, all kinds of magic potions, material resources, and a magical research bridge to connect his knowledge with the laws of this world. It was not a dream to become a mid-level magician in a year or two, soaring in the blue sky.

Of course, there is a possibility of failure at any level. The further back you go, the more you fail, if you fail to promote to a high-level, archmage, or legend, you are in danger of death, and it may be a gradual increase.

"A magic ring of this level is worth at least a few hundred thousand gold tales or arcane points, which is the value of a bustling city and all the manors, towns, and villages around it. It is equivalent to the entire net worth of a wealthy viscount or a poorer earl. In comparison, the rewards of the Council of Magic are pitiful, and it is no wonder that the Holm Crown Award is the highest honor in the field of elementalism and alchemy. The value of this ring alone sets it off. ”

Lucien looked carefully at the ring on his right hand, and his thoughts were scattered: "I heard that several other awards set up in imitation of the Holm Crown are also magic items that reward the seventh level of perfection, the Immortal Throne is a talisman or necklace, the Silver Moon Medal and the Ice and Snow Medal are badges, the Wizard Laurel Crown is a crown, headdress, mage hat, glasses and other things that can be worn on the head, and the Arcane Scepter is a magic staff, all of which are very expensive and valuable, and the effect is very good. If only I could get ......"

Thinking about it, Lucien felt that his saliva was about to come out, so he had to clear his throat and keep calm.

Morris, on the other side, saw Lucien staring at Holm's crown ring in a daze, and could probably feel his mood. I only feel that my heart is like a knife, and refining this ring is not too difficult for him, an archmage of the elemental and alchemy systems, but if he wants to achieve the perfect level and constant three magic effects, the materials used are very precious and rare, and they are often priceless, and most of the time they can't be exchanged even if they are exchanged for a country.

Thinking that he had to go around every day to admire the Elemental Will and the Holm Royal Magic Court's half-plane warehouse was missing a lot of materials, Morris was really vomiting blood, but fortunately, according to the frequency, the Holm Crown Award would only be awarded once every ten years, so as not to make him crazy.

After the ceremony, most of the arcanists disappeared without a trace in less than five minutes, eager to try Lucian's idea of purifying those elements.

Lucien reluctantly lowered his right hand and was about to go back to Alinge with Lazar. At this moment, Gaston, with gray hair, strange dark yellow eyes and a hooked nose, walked over with a blonde, blue-eyed, mature and beautiful woman.

"Evans, I wonder how you feel about our elemental will, are you interested in joining?" Gaston said straight to the point, and Morris, who had not yet left, looked at it with a smile.

Lucien submitted the periodic table in order to get the attention of the elemental will, so he naturally replied without hesitation: "I am very interested in elemental magic, and the communication with the arcane masters of the elemental will in the past few days is also very pleasant, and I am very happy to join the elemental will." ”

Gaston nodded in satisfaction, then glanced at Maurice. Maurice Haruha laughed and stretched out his right hand: "As the president, on behalf of all the arcane masters of the Elemental Will, Ivans welcome you to join. As a greeting gift, you can go to the Elemental Will HQ, the Royal Magic Tower of Holm, and pick up potions, materials, or magic items worth two thousand arcane points. ”

If it is a low-level mage, the elemental will is the same as the pale hand, and it only gives things worth fifty to two hundred arcane points, and although Lucien has not yet updated the arcane emblem, in the eyes of everyone, he is already a real fourth-order arcanist, and has the glory aura bonus of the Holm Crown Award!

"Then do I have any obligations?" After shaking hands, Lucien asked seriously, although he liked the rule of giving gifts if he joined in this way, but Lucien still understood this reason very well because he had a short mouth and a soft hand to eat others, such as the poor necromancer who was led by Wilfrid in the past.

Morris straightened the collar of his purple elemental magic robe and replied with a smile: "We give protection to the members of the organization, so that they can grow smoothly in the magic council, and we also need members to contribute to the organization, generally speaking, in the form of giving tasks, of course, if you feel that the task is too dangerous, you can replace it at an appropriate price, we will not force members to do things that they are not sure of." Of course, Evans, you are still only a ring magician, and for a genius like you who is not strong enough and has great potential, before you become a mid-level or even high-level, you will only be given research tasks. ”

"Then I'll rest assured, thank you, Lord Morris. Lucien thought about it, but still didn't take out the Holm crown ring that Natasha had given.

Morris patted Lucien on the shoulder: "You have a sharp mind. With rigorous logic and a humble character, I am optimistic about your future. I hope you can move forward on the arcane path solidly. Okay, you wait to register and collect your things at the Royal Magic Tower of Holm, and Florosa will explain the rest to you about your mission. ”

Then he struggled to look away from Holm's crown ring. Walk out of the hall with Gaston, leaving Lucien alone to face the mature and beautiful Florentine.

Florence smiled faintly, and her beautiful green eyes looked at Lucien from top to bottom. After the last, he bent his fingers one by one with satisfaction: "Handsome, elegant, polite, intelligent, able to speak, sharp in thinking, modest and decent." With fame and status, Lucien, you are really the lady's dream girl. Honestly, I want to date you. She called out to Lucien.

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

Seeing Lucien's restrained look. Florence covered her mouth and giggled, "What a young man, I'm afraid I don't have experience." It's a pity that I'm already married, otherwise I would have taught you well. ”

Lucien could only be speechless about this bold style of married women.

Florence stopped laughing and said charmingly: "Lucian, you are already a fourth-order arcanist, and according to the rules of the Magic Council, you belong to the middle rank, so you automatically leave the Douglas School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, unless you want to kick Donald away and become the headmaster yourself." Actually, I'd love to see a Holm Crown Award winner take up a position at the school, and that would be sensational news. ”

The kingdoms across the sea, thanks to the advancement of papermaking and printing as a side effect of magical research, were much more abundant and active in newspapers and periodicals than on the mainland, and when Lucien walked into the streets of Rentat, he often heard a newsboy shouting: "Sell newspapers, sell newspapers, freshly baked Holm Weekly." ”

"Actually, I really like the quiet environment of the school. Lucien was a little emotional.

Florence put away her charming expression and said with a rare seriousness: "You are already a mid-level, so you have to accept the task 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 task for you in advance, so as not to let you run around and delay your golden stage of absorbing and learning arcane knowledge." ”

"Lady Florenza, what's the mission?" Lucien became serious.

Florence looked at Lucian's tense and serious face, and suddenly smiled coquettishly, with a graceful demeanor: "Don't be so serious, a very simple task." Some of the druids in the Stroop Forest to the east have followed their archelder, the legendary Druid Malfurion, to Alinge to work on a joint research project with the Magical Council. ”

"The Great Elder has always guarded the forest and the land, and at the same time he is full of sympathy for the low-level farmers, believing that after a year of hard work, the harvest of grain and other food is only enough to pay taxes to the lord and barely starve to death, often do not live to be fifty years old, and there is no hope when natural disasters and other agricultural yields are reduced. And the druids under him, including apprentices, are less than a thousand, even if the druids in the whole continent add up to less than 10,000, and casting spells consumes mental power, so if you want to help farmers increase their production through spells, you can only benefit a few people, and even the farmers of a country can't help them completely. ”

"And even if it helps this year, it will return to the same state the next year, and even some of the spells will cause serious damage to the land. Therefore, this time the villages near the Stroop Forest have suffered a massive reduction in production due to the drought that has finally made Lord Malfurion determined to seek the help of our council to see how to effectively turn their spells into alchemical products that can be popularized to increase the yield of the land and its ability to withstand disasters. “

"The task is to reverse interpret their spells, figure out the principles, and then simplify and popularize them. This requires a deep arcane foundation, so the council's side is led by His Excellency Storm Master, Lord Hathaway, and His Excellency the Revenant Master, and Mr. Lavendi, Mr. Gaston, etc. will participate, and draw a lot of necromancers and elementals, you just join one of the groups and follow the study, anyway, if you fail, there are also big people on it. ”

The spells of the druids are different from the magic of the magicians and the magic of the church, and it seems to be in between, both of which are similar to the magic of the church, and there is no need to pray to the "gods", the "gifts" from nature, the magic council has long planned to study their spell system and figure out the roots, this time Malfurion automatically sent it to the door, naturally it was very important, and the three great arcanists personally took the lead. Lucien just needs to follow some experience and take the opportunity to learn the principles of reverse analysis and mathematical knowledge.

Lucien understood what Florence meant, it was a rare opportunity to learn, and maybe invent something like this with the help of the druid's unique spells: "I'll go back to school and pick up the quest in the mission area." ”

Florence smiled charmingly and said, "Very well, I took a lot of effort to insert you in, and if it weren't for your reputation as the Holm Crown Award, those stubborn druids wouldn't want you to join." ”

With that, Florence's color changed slightly, and after nodding to Lucien, she hurried away as Lavendi approached.

Lavendi took out a blank piece of paper and handed it to Lucian, "Evans, this is the math book I picked out for you. You study hard and build your arcane foundation. ”

There were forty or fifty books on it.

Before Lucien could speak, Lavendi took out a thick stack of rolls from the storage bag, "I recently inquired about you, and I appreciate your practice of improving apprenticeship practice in the School of Magic. This is a topic that I have collected over the years that suits you, and you can use it to practice. ”

Lucian's expression was suddenly embarrassed, is this lifting a stone to hit his own feet?

............

Not long after the Holm Crown Award was awarded, the Pale Hand and other internal organizations of the Magic Council, the bishops of the Church of Truth in the diocese of Holm, and the nobles of the Kingdom of Holm received information one after another.

Holm Crown Award winners, who have only been 26 in more than 270 years, will naturally be taken seriously by all sides. (To be continued.) )
