Wizard Management Department.

Eric took out Lucian's arcane badge from the magic cage, and the four brilliant silver stars on it looked mysterious and vast against the dark background, as if they contained countless mysteries.

"A total of seven hundred and eight arcane points. Even if Evans doesn't have any other arcane papers in a short period of time, you can successfully become a level 5 arcanist in a year or two. Eric handed Lucien the badge with the updated Arcane Points, his accustomed stiff expression with obvious emotion, "You will be the youngest Level 5 Arcanist since the Magic Council had an Arcane Rank, but you are also the lowest Magic Level among the Arcanists of this level." ”

For a third-level arcanist like Eric, the difference between level four and level three is only two hundred arcane points, and he has the confidence to hope and hope, and after years of hard work, there are only thirty-six points left from level four, but level five seems so far away and untouchable. When he suddenly saw that a young man who had been in Alinge for less than a year was very promising to become a fifth-level arcanist, he couldn't help but sigh a little.

The Arcanist level is not only related to the importance and treatment within the Magic Council, but also means the potential and prospect of improving the strength of magic.

As long as the magician himself is not complacent and takes the wrong path, does not rely on the accumulation of age to raise the arcane level, does not encounter cognitive bottlenecks, etc., then there is great hope that his magic strength will eventually be improved to the same or even more than the arcane level. Moreover, when this kind of arcane master breaks through the barrier from mid-level to high-level, the Magic Council will definitely provide assistance with magic rituals, so Eric seems to see a high-level magician who is about to grow up.

Lucien took the Arcane Badge, pinched it with his slender fingers and flipped it a few times, and smiled slightly: "Mr. Eric, thank you for your anticipation. But the facts of these two months show that the good times of crazy growth in points are over. ”

Because the discussion of the theory of human vitality in the previous project brief was in full swing, when the journal at the end of the dormant month (February) was released. Lucian's Arcane Points had skyrocketed by one hundred and fifty-eight, of which only forty-two came from the atomic weight data quoted and remeasured by the periodic table.

However, after February, Felipe's experiment and the subsequent "miracle experiment" that simulated the primitive environment of nature were considered the key to overturning the theory of human vitality. Therefore, Lucian's experiments on the synthesis of urea are rarely cited, but the citation points of the periodic table and the redetermined atomic weight data have swelled with the successive completion of the research results of the previous arcanists, contributing one hundred and forty-three arcane points in two months, and the paper on alchemical substances helping to increase grain production has also been nearly ten because of the advent of other similar substances.

Wait until the last two or three months. The rate of increase fell sharply, and the citations from the periodic table and atomic weight stabilized at about ten papers per month, so Lucien judged that there would be a long stream of water in the future. There have always been, but not too many, and it takes about two years to become a level 5 arcanist.

"The periodic table is the foundation that every arcanist who studies the elemental field cannot bypass, and even though most of them can cite later papers, they will contribute quite a few Arcane Points to Evans every month. When you become a Level 5 Arcanist and your magic level is raised to the Five Rings, you can come to me and apply to become a high-level magic ritual helper. Eric said slightly politely, "Evans, your arcane level is already higher than mine. I'm not used to using the honorific title of 'you' again, you don't have to be so polite. ”

After saying that, he took out the magic badge and returned it to Lucien: "There are only two more arcane points from the new magic study and the monthly subsidy of forty-five from the council." ”

According to the rules of the Magical Council, the Arcanist of the first level is subsidized with one gold taler or one arcane point per month for materials, etc., the second level is five, and the third level is twenty. The fourth level is forty, the fifth level is eighty, the sixth level is three hundred, the seventh level is five hundred, the eighth level is nine hundred, the ninth level is two thousand, and the same goes for the magic level, the two can be stacked.

Lucien first put the Arcane Badge on his left chest before taking the magic badge that was still two black rings, and the whole person felt refreshed, this is because when the Arcane Badge is promoted to the third level, that is, the intermediate level, it has a constant magic effect that relieves the fatigue of the soul and body, and when it becomes a high-level Arcanist, it can also be constant, and the same is true for the magic badge.

"Mr. Eric, allow me to take my leave, I need to go to the exchange area to buy materials. Lucien picked up the black top hat placed on the chair next to him and bowed slightly.

As soon as he left Eric's office, Lucien saw the door of another deacon's room open, and Felipe, with a sickly face, slowly walked out with his hands in the pockets of his long black trench coat.

Felipe didn't expect to meet Lucien, he was slightly stunned and then bowed his head slightly, then looked at his left chest, and a gloomy smile appeared on his face: "Your arcane level and magic level have not increased. ”

Lucien always felt a little wrong when he heard Felipe's words, and subconsciously looked at the badge on his chest, only to see that the silver star arcane badge on a black background that simulated the starry sky already had five restrained and deep stars on it, and there were countless points of light flying around, and what was even more surprising was that there were six black rings on the silver background of the magic badge!

"High Mage ......" Among the geniuses of this generation, Felipe was finally the first to become a high-level mage, and the number of high-level mages in the entire Pale Hand was only in his early forties, even if he counted the lich who had lived for a long time. This means that Felipe really became the upper echelons of the Pale Hand.

Felipe didn't wait for Lucien's answer, and passed him directly, leaving behind a whisper that seemed difficult to hear: "Don't be thrown too far by me." ”

Lucien tugged at the corners of his mouth and watched Felipe leave.

Descending down the hallway back to the hall of the Wizard's Management Department, Cindy winked at Lucien and said in a very formal tone, "Mr. Evans, you have a guest looking for you." ”

Who's going to look for me?" Lucien looked at the couch next to the bar with Cindy's right hand in confusion, and saw a middle-aged man sitting like a ball, who was wiping the sweat from the stream with a handkerchief, and the heat of late July had been going on for a long time.

"Mr. Arthur Doyle?" Lucien did not understand why the president of the Holm Mining Union Bank had come to him suddenly.

Arthur threw the handkerchief to the glamorous and slender lady who came with him, his blonde personal secretary, and then walked up to Lucian, surrounded by two fierce-looking bodyguards, and stretched out two hands to hold Lucian's right hand warmly: "Mr. Evans, I arrived at your house first. But I heard your butler say that you came to the Alinge Magic Tower, so you hurried over again, sweating profusely. Stinks all over. Otherwise, I'll give you hugs instead of shaking hands. ”

This fat man is really polite and pays attention to details, Lucien muttered to himself, and his favorability of Arthur increased: "Mr. Doyle." I don't know what you're looking for me?"

Arthur's chubby face showed a warm and kind smile: "Mr. Evans, let's have a drink first and talk slowly." ”

Cindy went to the bar and poured two glasses of "Sky Blue" on the rocks and handed them to Lucien and Arthur. Then he was very curious to stay by the side, ready to hear what the rich man in Rentatt had come to Lucien for, did he want to provide for this talented arcanist with unlimited potential and great prospects?

Dona on the other side was equally curious, but she couldn't leave at will if she stayed at the reception desk alone, so she pouted and looked at Cindy, who seemed to be playing the role of Lucian's secretary. Cindy turned her gaze and pretended not to see.

Arthur shook the dreamy azure liquid and took a sip. He praised loudly: "It's so refreshing, it makes the heat on my body disappear at once." ”

Then he glanced at Cindy, didn't seem to think there was a need to keep it secret, so he didn't ask her to leave, and then said with a big smile, "Mr. Evans." I came to you today to seek cooperation. ”

"Huh?" Lucien shook the glass in his hand noncommittally, causing the azure liquid to ripple slightly.

Arthur beckoned the blonde secretary to take out a thick stack of papers from her purse and handed it to Lucian: "Mr. Evans, I went to the small town of Saliwa to see your field test, and the yield of oats and other food crops is beyond my imagination. I don't think a nobleman, a manor owner, could refuse your alchemy, and I know from His Royal Highness Prince Patrick that you already have a plan for large-scale synthesis. ”

"As the inventor, you naturally have the right to dispose of these alchemical substances from a legal point of view. According to the rules of the Magic Council, if we set up a company to produce and promote the sale of these alchemical substances to other counties in the kingdom and other countries, we will cooperate in the form of the Magic Council owning 15% of the shares and you owning 15% of the shares, and you do not need to make a golden tower with the Magic Council, even if the cost of hiring a magician to set up the alchemy circle will be borne by us. We will be the best partner. ”

Lucien took the document and flipped through it, only then did he understand that Arthur, the president of the Mining Union, had taken a fancy to the value of fertilizer alchemy substances, and the large-scale synthesis of two of them also required the cooperation of the Mining Federation.

"Mr. Doyle, I am indeed interested in this cooperation plan, but I would like to study the specific terms of the contract. Lucien was looking for a stable source of money, but he agreed to the negotiations.

Arthur laughed and said, "Mr. Evans, you are a genius magician who is valued by the Magic Council and the Elemental Will, how dare I, a noble merchant who has not even been inspired by the blood of a knight, dare to deceive the Magic Council and you? ”

It can be seen that this kind of nobles and ordinary citizens who have no strength are in awe and fear of magicians, after all, no one will like this kind of powerful person who can control their own life and death from the bottom of their hearts, at most they just yearn for it.

After negotiating for a while, Arthur leaned into Lucian's ear and said in a low voice: "Mr. Evans, in fact, it was His Royal Highness Prince Patrick who asked me to come to you this time, and we will give you five percent of the shares in private." This is a gift from His Royal Highness the Prince. ”

Lucien thought of someone, and then shook his head with a smile: "If it weren't for His Royal Highness the Prince, I would have insisted on thirty percent." That being the case, Mr. Doyle, we have a great time working together. ”

"Great cooperation, Mr. Evans. "Arthur Doyle's smiling eyes are barely visible.

After checking the contract and signing it by both parties, Arthur smiled slightly flatteringly: "Mr. Evans, the names of these alchemy substances are too awkward to be used to promote them, I wonder if you have any suggestions?"

Lucien was silent for a minute, then said expressionlessly, "Kim Kela ......" (to be continued.) )
