Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Female Assistant's Interest
The forthcoming weekly newspaper had been typeset and was waiting to be printed, which made the editor-in-chief, Selig, feel relieved that he would be able to enjoy an afternoon of idleness.
At this time, the young and beautiful female assistant knocked on the door, walked into the office, and said, "Editor-in-chief, Mr. Hank is outside, hoping to meet you." ”
"Why did he come here at this time?" Selig was a little strange, and after thinking for a moment that nothing special was the matter, he said, "Please come in, and bring us two more 'Midsummer Nights'." ”
"Yes, Mr. Editor-in-Chief. The female assistant swayed away, her back was beautiful, and her curves were seductive, which made Selig swallow her spit unconsciously.
"Well, if I were thirty years younger, not even twenty!
As the editor-in-chief of the Junior Mage Weekly, Seliger is in his 60s this year, but he is still stuck at level 4 and cannot break through. This made him a close friend of Luhrmann, who was in the same grade, had not made an inch for many years, and was also an old classmate. However, the slight difference is that Selig is not very interested in the basic mathematics of magic, preferring to keep up to date with current events and research various magical potions that can maintain the body.
A short time later, Luhrmann entered the editor-in-chief's office under the guidance of a female assistant, accompanied by a young man with black hair and brown eyes and a cyan mage robe.
"It's handsome, but it's a little bit worse than when I was younger. Noticing that the female assistant glanced at the young man from time to time, looking very interested, Selig thought a little unboundedly. But then, he laughed again. The older I get, the more I go back, and I actually affect my mood because of this kind of thing.
When the two were seated, Seliger smiled and said, "Ruhrmann." Is this your student? Don't you introduce me?"
Ruhlmann also smiled back: "He is not my student. He is, huh...... A new companion on the path of magic, Leo Minethiel, you should be impressed. ”
Leo stood up and said respectfully, "Hello, Mr. Editor-in-Chief. ”
"Leo Minahir......" Seliger nodded, to the point of feeling familiar. But for a while, he couldn't remember, and looked at the female assistant who was serving a refreshing 'Midsummer Night' drink to the three of them.
Unexpectedly, the female assistant's action of getting the drink stopped. Some untrustworthy people say, "Is he Leo Minehir?"
Ruhrmann smiled: "Yes, beautiful lady, do you have any questions?"
"No, I just didn't expect him to be so young. Other than that. Mr. Luhrmann. You can call me Filna. The assistant said with great interest, then turned her head again, and whispered as she offered Selig a drink, "Editor-in-chief, he is the one who last published the Special Calculation in our weekly newspaper. ”
Filna looked to be twenty-three or fourteen years old, with the youthful vigor of a young woman, and had gradually begun to mature, and showed a touching charm. She is a very good beauty, especially when she laughs. It looks even more charming and moving.
But that's not the biggest reason Seliger hired her. Filna herself is a level 2 mage, although she was not able to obtain a diploma from the Academy of Magic. But among the school graduates, they are still considered to have good grades. And she has a very good journalistic instinct, and Seliger is optimistic that she will be promoted to lead editor next year.
According to the general rules, the maximum duration of the magic academy is generally 10 years, of course, if you complete enough content in advance and achieve corresponding achievements, or be promoted to level 4, that is, become an intermediate mage, you can also graduate early.
However, the content of magic is vast and complex, involving almost all levels, and the major colleges have made it more difficult to graduate year by year, so that students can accumulate as much strength as possible before leaving the academy. However, this has made it difficult to graduate, and many people are still unable to reach the graduation level after 10 years, so that only one in five of each class is able to graduate, and the rest have to accept a diploma.
"Oh, I remember, pretty good arithmetic. Seliger said perfunctorily, in fact, he had no interest in mathematics at all, and if it weren't for the face of his old friend, he would not have been able to publish such an article.
"Hehe, of course it's good. Luhrmann nodded and decided to get straight to the point: "I brought him to you today just to publish a better paper." ”
Hearing his old friend talk about this, Seliger finally got some interest and asked, "About what?"
Luhrmann replied, "A completely new mathematical concept, differential geometry. ”
"Oh my God, it's math again!" Selig almost groaned. Thinking that Luhrmann had helped him many times, he had to pinch his nose and say, "Well, no problem, of course it can be published." ”
Luhrmann was surprised: "You don't even look at it to be sure you can publish?"
Seliger didn't want to read any math papers at all, so he waved his hand and said, "Luhrmann, you think it's good, it's definitely not wrong, I don't need to read it." But you also know the readership of our weekly newsletter...... It doesn't make much sense for me to publish here. ”
Luhrmann understood what he wasn't going to say, and although the Junior Mage Weekly was still influential, the readers were beginners and junior mages, and who among those people would care about math?
In terms of the current situation, there is not enough time, and Luhrmann can only sigh and say: "It's okay, just publish it here." By the way, you're going to release the latest issue tomorrow, right?"
Selig was a little confused, but replied, "It's tomorrow." ”
"Great, I remember correctly. Luhrmann glanced at Leo and said to Selig: "Old friend, I have a request, I hope this paper will appear in tomorrow's weekly report, is that okay?"
Seliger shook his head and said, "I'm afraid not, the next issue has already been finalized." ”
Leo chuckled in his heart, but he was completely unfamiliar with the other party, so he really didn't want to interject, so he simply waited for Luhrmann to speak.
"Can't you replace the next one?" Luhrmann, of course, refused to give up. He really wanted to help Leo, after all, if Leo got good results, his own magic salon would also be stained.
Seliger was puzzled: "Unfortunately, even if you came yesterday, or even in the morning, I might be able to help you squeeze out some space." But not right now. Tomorrow when the printing is complete, the weekly newspaper will be published, and it is completely too late to change it. And we've just mailed out a sample newsletter to all the authors of this issue, and if it were to be changed at short notice, it would inevitably attract criticism, and the people above would not allow me to do so. ”
Luhrmann showed a disappointed expression, but the other party had already said so, and he really couldn't change it, so he had to stand up and say, "Okay, let's go to other places." ”
Selig didn't understand, "Why be in such a hurry?
"That's not it, it's just that I'm worried that the night is long and the dream is multifaceted. Luhrmann explained casually. After all, when it comes to the joint entrance examination, he won't say anything to irrelevant people.
The two of them left the office, and as they walked, Luhrmann said to Leo: "Let's go to the editorial office of "Comprehensive Magic Mathematics" now, I am familiar with one of their editors, they should release the latest issue in three days, maybe it will be too late." ”
"It's too much trouble for you. Leo thanked him from the bottom of his heart.
Luhrmann smiled and said, "It's okay, the innovation process of this paper is completely worth my old bones' efforts." ”
Unexpectedly, as soon as the two of them walked to the entrance of the editorial department, the female assistant Filna caught up and asked, "Two gentlemen, can you let me see that paper?"
Seeing the doubts on the faces of the two, she hurriedly added: "I graduated from the Magic Academy of Fort Milan, and I am very interested in mathematics. If this paper is really good, maybe I can help persuade the editor-in-chief again. ”
In a private setting, it is not a wise thing to let others read unpublished papers, and it is easy to cause disputes. However, the current situation is urgent, and Leo doesn't care too much about this matter, so he directly agreed: "Of course there is no problem. (To be continued......)
