——I finally finished writing it before twelve o'clock.,This chapter is the second chapter of the new book last month.,Debt-free and light.。

Also, I didn't go out for three days to catch up with Wenjia, only to remember that today is the Zongzi Festival, and I almost couldn't say happy Dragon Boat Festival to everyone, I haven't eaten Zongzi yet.

It's late, tomorrow morning the chapter is postponed until twelve o'clock at noon, and in the evening it will be as usual, and after that it will be normal.

Happy Zongzi Festival, everyone!

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

Lazar originally felt that he had been surprised and shocked many times today, and he should be numb and no longer affected by similar emotions, but after hearing Eric's words, he still couldn't help but look at Lucien and said, "Lucian, you are really a monster, most of the arcanists below the intermediate level have never received a letter of invitation from the journal. Our Arcane Points are all awarded by the Review Committee, and then we are promoted by occasionally being published in a few articles that have been rejected again and again, and then slowly gaining points in return, often failing to earn seven Arcane Points for several years. ”

"It's been four years since I graduated from magic school, and I've written more than a dozen arcane research papers, only three of which have passed the review, and one of them has been included in the Arcane Discussion Journal, and it's the penultimate article in that issue. I have the impression that the only people who received invitations before the Level 3 Arcanist were those who were very famous geniuses, such as Mr. Ulysses, such as Mr. Felipe. ”

His sad and self-deprecating mood is not excessive, similar to a half-joking attitude. At least in terms of warmth and kindness, Lucien felt that he was much better than Felipe.

Eric's mouth moved, and he wanted to say that he had never seen the letter of appointment, but he couldn't say it, and it took him twenty years to become a third-level arcanist with a hundred arcane points.

After the last, he sighed: "'Groundbreaking', can have the word 'groundbreaking' in the evaluation, no wonder there are journals that directly request manuscripts." Although Evans your new principles of magic seem to have a narrow range of applications, there are papers with this evaluation every year. Excluding the articles of the Grand Arcanists and High-level Arcanists, there are definitely no more than ten. ”

"Groundbreaking? Lucien probably understood the importance of the word in the essay and in the evaluation of the new magic.

Lazar put away his devastated expression, smiled and excitedly counted his fingers: "Groundbreaking, groundbreaking, extremely important, universal, extremely exploratory." These five are the adjectives that the gentlemen of the committee have rated the paper the most. Of course, if your paper is evaluated for its ability to change the times, congratulations, Grand Arcanist Evans!"

Just as Lucien took the document from Eric. The bells 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 council?"

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

Evans, the journal Sonic Invitation, promised the first fifteen articles of the journal and recommended them to three abstract-indexed journals. ”

He and Lazar were numb to it, and as long as it wasn't for the Arcane and Magic letters, it was "nothing".

"There are two good journals that send out letters of acceptance at the same time. Lazar chuckled and exclaimed, "Lucian, which one are you going to choose? I think Sonic is more specialized in this field." You're going to get more citations, and they're offering a little better terms than the average Arcanist Monthly. Of course, with the word 'groundbreaking', those three abstract-indexed journals would have included them even if they were not recommended. ”

Nearly forty journals per month, and a large portion of it is duplicate research. Therefore, no arcanist is in the mood to read them all, and the importance of abstract indexing journals is reflected at this time.

"I still chose the "Ordinary Arcanist Monthly", at least they sent a letter of invitation as soon as possible, and the importance of me is obvious. Since the conditions are all about the same, let's come first and come first. Lucien smiled calmly and made his decision in the simplest of ways.

Lazar was a little disapproving and said: "I think ......"

Ding ding, a sharp voice rang out three times, Eric's face changed slightly, and he looked at the unactivated arcane emblem in his hand: "Evans, it's six o'clock, I'm afraid you have to activate it tomorrow." ”

"Ah, Mr. Eric, is there no other way? I'd like to visit the 'General Arcane Library' and the 'Magic Exchange Room'. Lucien said to Eric with a little eagerness.

Eric shook his head: "Prospel and the other alchemical beings have always stopped doing things on time, and never worked for a minute more unless their master asked them to. And even if it's activated now, Evans, you won't be able to enter the 'Ordinary Arcane Library' and 'Magic Exchange Room', as they will close at six o'clock. You'd better come tomorrow morning, anyway, the results of the review committee's assessment, arcane points, and arcane points won't disappear. ”

"Once the Arcane Emblem has been activated, when you reply to the request letter, it's best to add a letter to your name as suggested by the gentlemen of the Committee, otherwise it will be easy to confuse the credits. As for normal times, there is no need to bother. ”

Lazar echoed: "The alchemical life of the council headquarters is very lazy. As he spoke, he looked at the glow of the wall, fearing retaliation from Prosper, "Of course, they are also diligent when they are busy. Evans, let's go out for dinner. If you can't leave the council headquarters before half-past six, you can only go to the second to ninth floors to rent a meditation room to rest. ”

"It's good. Mr. Eric, let's take our leave. Lucien retrieved the unactivated Arcane Badge and put it on his body.

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

In the hall of the "Wizard Management Department", Cindy and Donna were packing up their magic notebooks and other items to leave, and when they saw the two of them coming out, they smiled at the same time: "Congratulations Evans...... Uh, Mr. Evans, your Arcane Badge hasn't ...... yet."

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

"Hehe, Cindy Sweetheart, Donna Sweetheart, things are not what you think. Lazar, who felt that he had a unique 'news', couldn't help but show off to the two girls, "Our dear Mr. Evans was the first person to pass the review of an arcane research paper on the day he joined the Magical Council, the first person to receive a 'groundbreaking' evaluation for his first paper, and the first person to have his first paper contested by two journals......

"Wow. "Wow. "Wow. Every time he spoke, Cindy and Donna sighed.

As a high-level magic apprentice. Cindy and Dona were well aware of how rare Lazar's description was, and when he finished speaking, they looked at Lucien with beautiful eyes: "Mr. Evans." Congratulations on being featured in 'Cindy's Chronicles' ('Dona's Annals'), and I hope to see your article in the Ordinary Arcanist Monthly sooner. ”

Then Cindy laughed and said, "Mr. Evans, don't forget us when you become a mid-level magician, we are still waiting to become your apprentice." This is the time to say this. She was a little less joking, but Lucien had not yet passed the assessment of the arcane foundation, and it was difficult to say how the arcane and magical paths would develop in the future.

"Mr. Evans. Why don't you ask us to celebrate?" Dona seized the opportunity to get acquainted with Lucien.

Handsome, very young, officially a magician, highly rated by arcane research papers, suave, calm and mysterious, such a man even if Dona has no affection. But as a magic apprentice, it is normal to be familiar with each other, and maybe it will be an important relationship in the future.

Lucien smiled, "If the two ladies don't mind, I'd like to invite you to dinner with me and Lazar." "It's always good to have some familiar people in Arlinge.

"Then we're welcome. That's right, Mr. Evans. Now that your papers and new spells have been reviewed, and you've earned a total of seven Arcane Points, you haven't activated your Arcane Emblem yet. Cindy didn't refuse Lucian's invitation.

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

"Ha Lu Ha. It's hard to imagine Mr. Eric's stunned face...... "The girls laughed quietly.

While waiting for the two ladies to pack up their belongings, Lazar turned his head to stare at Lucien, and said with a serious expression: "Lucian, do you know which of the evaluations you have received that I am most jealous of?"

"Groundbreaking?" Lucien asked, confused.

Lazar shook his head, his expression a little gloomy, "No, it's the phrase 'true arcanist thinking mode'. Among the papers that I couldn't pass the review, the most common ones were 'problematic way of thinking', 'poor rigor', 'not a qualified arcane paper', and so on."

"Thinking more and seeing more can change the way you think. If I have time, I can help Lazar pre-review your paper. Lucien comforted Lazar.

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

"By the way, Lucian, tomorrow the apprenticeship assessment is over, and your mentoring task is half completed, and you need to think about the rest of your life. Hehe, think about what you're going to do tonight. I'll help you refer to it tomorrow when I go with you to pay the task. ”

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

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

After the four of them had eaten Holm's grilled fish and chips, Lucien checked into a hotel introduced by Lazar.

Its tranquil surroundings and fresh air make Lucien have a good night's sleep.

Early the next morning, Lazar arrived at the hotel and went with Lucien to the apprenticeship assessment department.

"Mr. Evans, you're here!" As soon as they stepped into the third district, Heidi and Leilia's happy voices came over, they looked at Lucien with a book in hand, and seemed to be hurrying to consolidate the meaning of the constructed figure.

And Annick, who was with them, also scratched his fluffy yellow hair, and a happy smile appeared on his face: "Good morning, Mr. Evans." ”

"Good morning. You just have to think of the assessment as a regular exercise. Lucien said this, teasing the children's thoughts, and continued: "Do you think that the usual exercises are too few and too simple?"

"No, no. The three apprentices subconsciously shook their heads, and their faces instantly deteriorated a little.

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

Sprint, who proudly watched Annick and them interact with Lucian, walked towards the assessment room with his hands in his pockets, and when he passed Annick and them, he whispered: "I would love to see what kind of level you have after receiving instruction, that way of practicing, practicing, and practicing may be required by magic, but it is not suitable for the study of arcane." ”

Katrina on the side stared at Sprint and said with a serious expression, "I'm going to beat you this time!" (To be continued.) )
