Seeing Roque leave, Lucien shook his head and smiled, not optimistic about his idea, and then turned his attention back to "Arcane", and read until the last half, and saw the discussion paper submitted by Annick and Sprint - a discussion about the difference between the actual effect of the cyclotron and the ideal effect, they vaguely believed that energy was converted into electricity, but they could not come up with a formula, nor could they deduce specific data to adjust.

"Hopefully more people will start thinking about this. Lucien closed the journal and concentrated on the magic of the Eight Rings.

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

On the morning of July 3, a heat wave rolled in.

Lowe didn't know that this was the first time he had been to the Alinge Magic Tower in recent times, and he only knew that if he couldn't find the tasks he was able to complete and get enough pay to pay the rent, then it would be difficult for him to continue to survive in Alinge, a place where everything was expensive, and he would have to stay away from this "center of arcane and magic" and look for opportunities elsewhere.

"It's all my fault, I was afraid of hardship when I was in school, I didn't work hard enough, I couldn't become an elite apprentice, and I couldn't be recommended to a good position. If you can become an elite apprentice in the school, you can be recommended to the Wizard Management Department, the Apprentice Assessment Department, the mission area and other council departments, or the offices of major organizations, various periodicals, and various alchemy companies in Alinge, so that you can not only get in touch with many formal magicians, but also have a good salary enough to survive in Alinge.

Lowe touched his arms, which contained a letter of recommendation from the school. The object is a local magical organization in Pefors, Kingdom of Holm.

Although it was very enviable for other magic apprentices who went to remote counties and even the Solal Islands branch to be recommended to Pefors County, which could be ranked in the top three of the most prosperous areas of the Holm Kingdom, for Lowe, who had awakened to his senses when he graduated, as long as it was not Alinge, it would mean nothing, because it would mean that he would be far away from the "center of arcane and magical research", and the distance between the students who would be left here would gradually widen.

According to the sample survey and statistics of "Alinge's Impressions", a lace weekly that appeared only a few years ago, about one out of ten apprentices who stay in Alinge for at least three years after leaving the magic school can become a full-fledged magician. Not to mention the terrifying three-to-one ratio of elite apprentices who have been recommended to good positions. This is much higher than the 20 to 1 ratio of the national divisions outside of Rentat.

And the Solar Islands branch and the remote county magic organization have reached an astonishing thirty to one, which is prohibitive, unless there is really no way, no one wants to go - after there is a "World Realm Real" channel. It is said that it has changed a lot.

Come to think of it. Lowe resolutely removed his fingers from his chest. You can't be left behind from the start.

But at this time, the feeling of burning fire in the stomach pouch made Lowe smile bitterly, in order to save money. I haven't had breakfast in a while.

His family is not rich in the first place, and he can no longer find something suitable for him and relatively well-paid, and his dreams can only succumb to reality, unless he is willing to take on tasks that seem more dangerous.

"Is it life or dreams? Lowe teased himself, swallowed a mouthful of saliva to quench his hunger, straightened out the black apprentice's robes, which were starting to look old, and walked towards the mission area.

Finding a silver-gray metal counter that was temporarily unoccupied, Lowe raised his head slightly, carefully looking at the tasks displayed on the dark green magic water curtain.

"Secret Mining Mission in the Southern Desert of the Gusta Empire: Fixed a reward of one Arcane Point or Kintaler every day, and at the end of the day, you will receive additional rewards according to the quality and quantity of ores, please check for details for the specific calculation method. Strength requirements: unlimited. Quantity: Unlimited. Danger: Very high, dealing with desert monsters, guarding against attacks by the Church Night's Watch and clergy, and the ore contains an invisible curse. ”

The lucrative reward dazzled Lowe's eyes, but the most columsy description made him stop, without the strength of a formal magician, he didn't want to complete the task relatively safely, and at least seven or eight out of ten apprentices would have to die.

“...... Huo Langning's small shop needed an alchemy assistant for three years, who would be in charge of food and lodging. ”

Lowe was a little tempted, although he was not paid, he could not buy materials and borrow books, but he could avoid the high cost of living in Alinge just by including room and board, and he might be able to learn a lot as an alchemist's assistant.

"However, I am a magician who prefers to cast spells rather than refine items, and a three-year delay will only be further away from others, so it is better to go to Pefors County and learn the latest research directions through the magic radio. ”

Lowe shook his head and continued to look at the missions, but they were either too dangerous, too poorly paid, or too long to cope with the dilemma in front of him.

After half an hour of reading the new mission, Lowe became very frustrated, did he really want to leave Alinge?

The magicians in different costumes around him left after taking the task, but in Lowe's eyes, they were like a picture of another world, full of color and light, while around him was gray and gloomy.

Unwilling to give up, Lowe raised his head again, wanting to find a low-pay task with a short cycle to cope with a day, and then wait until tomorrow to see if there was a suitable one in the newly released mission, and suddenly, the dark green water curtain jumped, and a new message jumped out of it.

"Apprentice Recruitment Mission: The Atomic Research Institute on the eighteenth floor of the Alinge Magic Tower is in dire need of ten apprentice-level assistants. Duration: three years. Strength Requirements: At least a high-level magic apprentice. Reward: Ten arcane points per month, free arcane and magic basics books, experimental setup at no extra cost. Deadline: July 10. ”

"Apprentice-level assistant?" Lowe recounted in a somewhat dazed voice, unbelievably well paid.

Suddenly, his gaze froze suddenly, and the few words that looked dark red against the dark green background jumped into his eyes:

"Atomic Institute?"

"Atomic Research Institute!"

Lowe suddenly felt that there was a fire burning from his heart to his head, hot. I can't think of anything, the Atomic Research Institute, the atomic research institute of Mr. Lucien Evans, the proposer of "new alchemy", is a sacred place in the hearts of every magician who is interested in the path of elements and matter, and every month there are magical places where new research results appear, representing the current cutting-edge level of the atomic field.

Such a place recruits apprentice-level helpers?

So what are you waiting for!

Lowe felt that the dream was in front of him, it was so dazzling, he snorted and quickly took over the task, and took a transmitted form from the person in charge.

"Resume?" Lowe had never heard of such a thing since he was a child. I was a little stunned for a moment. Fortunately, the above clauses are very clear, and he can fill them out one by one according to his own situation.

"If the 'resume' is approved, there will be a first round of written exams in two days, which will be an assessment of the fundamentals of arcane and magic in the elemental realm. The officer in charge strangely recounted the details of the mission. She had also never heard of the so-called resume and written exam.

Two days later. Will I still be able to stay in Alinge for two days?

Lowe was a little dazed. But the ruthlessness in his heart quickly surged, and he looked at his apprentice's robe and said secretly: "You can't be distracted by tasks, you must concentrate on reviewing the basics of arcane and magic...... Selling this robe to the exchange area should last for seven days!"

There was a decision. Lowe's eyes brightened, and he walked out with a powerful footstep.

After seeing him leave, the person in charge shook his head, his face also appeared with a fanatical expression, and he hurriedly got a resume to fill in.

Lowe had just walked a few steps when he suddenly heard someone exclaim:

"The Atomic Research Institute is recruiting apprentice-level assistants?"

"The Atomic Research Institute is hiring!"

"Really, really, I'll see!"

In the sound of one after another, the entire mission area was boiling, and many apprentices were so excited that their faces were red, and they seemed to see a bright future!

This made Lowe frown slightly, it seemed that the competition would be fierce, but he immediately smiled self-deprecatingly, if there was no fierce competition for this kind of thing, it meant that he had been dreaming.

Walking firmly, Lowe saw the teacher at his magic school as he passed by the quest platform at the very edge, and the usually amiable middle-aged man was now dancing like an apprentice.

"Hello, Mr. Barzagli. "Lowe was polite and authentic.

Barzagli recognized that he was a more satisfied student, so he smiled at the black-haired and blue-eyed Lowe: "You are also here to take on the task? Go and take the apprentice assistant task of the Atomic Research Institute, I just took it!"

"Teacher, aren't you, a second-ring magician, a second-level arcanist, an apprentice assistant!" Lowe asked, stunned.

Barzagli clenched his fists and said with a fanatical expression, "What does it matter? As long as you can enter the Atomic Research Institute, what does it matter if you can be apprenticed as a magician? It is the most advanced area of the elemental realm, and you can hear the teachings of Mr. Lucien Evans, and get in touch with the deepest mysteries of elements and matter,"

Lowe suddenly had a toothache, and the pressure of this competition was too great.

However, the flame of dreams and ambitions in his heart is burning and cannot be extinguished, which fills him with anticipation and motivation.

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

After the first round of written exams and interviews, there was a frustrated Roque in the Atomic Research Institute.

In this regard, Lucien asked curiously and implicitly, "Roque, what's wrong? There is no one who you like? No one has thrown a hug to you? I remember that the research institute has been almost overwhelmed by the crowd in the past few days. ”

Roque said with annoyance, "There are some female apprentices who do do this, uh, a few male apprentices too...... But I refused. I'm looking for a marriage partner, do I dare to ask for this? And those I fancy are all self-respecting and self-loving, polite and detached, and have no chance at all, what's the matter!"

Lucien Ha laughed and patted Roque on the shoulder: "It's a good thing to expand your friendship and find a marriage partner, but you can't do this, it's not difficult to find a mistress, but if you want to find a good girl who is independent and self-reliant, worthy of respect and love, you can only hehe." I was going to persuade you a few days ago, but I thought it would be good for you to learn a lesson, okay, put your mind down, complete the second round of written tests and interviews fairly, and I will personally do the last interview. ”

Roque sighed and jokingly complained, "You know a lot." ”

"Of course, I've got a girlfriend. Lucien replied in a joking tone. (To be continued......)
