Throne of Magical Arcana

Watching Roque leave, Lucien shook her head and smiled, not optimistic about his ideas, and then turned her attention back to "Arcane", reading until the end, seeing the discussion submitted by Annick and Sprint Paper-Discussion on the difference between the actual effect of the cyclotron and the ideal effect. They vaguely believe that energy is converted into electricity, but no formula can be proposed, and no specific data can be derived to adjust.

"Hopefully more people will start thinking about this issue." Lucien closed the periodical and devoted herself to analyzing the eight-ring magic.

…………

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

Lowe did not know that this was the first time he came to the Allinge Magic Tower during this period of time. He only knew that if he could not find a task that he was able to complete and was paid enough to pay the rent, it would be difficult for him Allinge, a place where everything is very expensive, continues to survive. You must stay away from this "center of arcane and magic" and look for opportunities elsewhere.

"I blame myself. When I was in school, I was afraid to endure hardships and not work hard enough. I didn't become an elite apprentice and could not be recommended to a good position." Lowe did not complain, but reviewed himself, after all, it was himself. As a result of not working hard at the beginning, if you can become an elite apprentice in the school, you can be recommended to the magician management department, apprentice assessment department, mission area and other parliamentary departments, or major organizations, various periodicals, and alchemy companies in Afghanistan. Linge's office, so that not only access to many formal magicians, but also a generous salary enough to survive in Allinge.

Lowe touched his arms with a letter of recommendation from the school for the local magic organization in Pefors County, Holm Kingdom.

Although other magic apprentices who travel to remote counties and even the Solar Islands branch, it is very enviable to be recommended to Pephos County, which can be ranked in the top three of the most prosperous areas of the Kingdom of Holm. But for Lowe, who was awakened when he graduated, as long as it is not Allinge, it has no meaning, because it means that away from the "center of arcane and magic research", it will be gradually pulled by the students who stay here. Great distance.

According to the sample survey and statistics of Laying Weekly, which appeared only a few years ago in Impressions of Allinge, about one in ten apprentices who have stayed in Allinge for at least three years after leaving the magic school can become formal magicians. Not to mention the three-to-one horror ratio of elite apprentices who have been recommended to a good position, which is much higher than the twenty-to-one ratio of branches outside Luntat.

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

Thinking of this, Lowe firmly moved his fingers away from his chest and could not lag behind others from the beginning.

But at this time, the feeling of burning in the stomach pouch made Lowe smile bitterly. In order to save money, he hadn't enjoyed breakfast for a while.

My own family is not wealthy. I can't find something that suits me and is relatively well-paid. Dreams can only succumb to reality, unless I am willing to take tasks that seem to be more dangerous.

"Is it a life or a dream? It's really hard to choose." Lowe teased himself, swallowed a spit, and relieved hunger. The black apprentice robe that began to look stale, and went towards the mission area.

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

"Secret mining missions in the southern desert of the Gusta Empire: a reward for an arcane point or jintal is fixed every day, and finally an additional reward is obtained according to the quality and quantity of the ore. For the specific calculation method, please inquire for details. Strength requirements: no limit. Quantity : No limit. Danger level: Very high, you need to face monsters in the desert, and be prepared to guard against attacks from church night watchmen and clergy. At the same time, the ore contains invisible curses. "

The generous reward sparked Lowe's eyes, but the final description made him stop. Without the strength of a formal magician, don't even want to complete the task more safely. At least seven or eight of the ten apprentices must die.

"... Horanin's shop needs an alchemist assistant for three years, and is responsible for board and lodging."

Lowe was a little emotional. Although he was unpaid, he could not buy materials and borrow books, but he could avoid the high cost of living for Alinge just by including board and lodging, and as an assistant to an alchemist, he might learn To many things.

"However, I am a magician who prefers to cast spells instead of refining items. The three-year delay will only be farther away from others. It is better to go to Pefors County and master the latest research direction through the magic radio."

Lowe shook his head and continued to look at the tasks, but they were either too dangerous, or the pay was too low or the cycle was too long to cope with the embarrassment.

After watching the new mission in half an hour, Lowe became very frustrated. Did he really want to leave Allinge?

A magician with different styles of clothing around him left after talking and laughing, but in Lowe ’s eyes, they were like a picture of another world, surrounded by color and light, and surrounded by haze and dim.

Unwilling to give up, Lowe looked up again, looking for a task with a low pay period and a short period of time, and then waited tomorrow to see if the newly released task was suitable. Suddenly, the dark green water curtain jumped and jumped up. A new message came out.

"Apprentice Recruitment Task: The Atomic Research Institute located on the eighteenth floor of the Allinge Magic Tower urgently needs ten apprentice-level assistants. Duration: three years. Strength requirement: at least a high-level magic apprentice. Remuneration: ten arcane points per month, Free basic books on arcane and magic, no additional experimental installations. Deadline: July 10.

"Apprentice-level assistant?" Lowe repeated with a daze, the reward behind was unbelievably rich.

Suddenly, his eyes froze sharply, and the dark red words against the dark green jumped into his eyes:

"Atomic Research Institute?"

"Atomic Research Institute!"

Lowe suddenly felt that there was a fire burning from his heart into his head. It was hot and nothing was clear. The Atomic Research Institute, the "new alchemy" proposer, Mr. Lucien Evans ’Atomic Research Institute, that was every A holy place in the mind of a magician aspiring to the path of elements and matter, there are magical places where new research results appear every month, representing the forefront of the current atomic field.

Recruit apprentice assistants in such places?

What are you waiting for!

Lowe felt the dream was right in front of him. It was so dazzling. His nose was breathing heavily, and he quickly took the task, and took a form from the person in charge.

"Resume?" Lowe hadn't heard of this kind of thing since he was very young, and he was a little stunned. Fortunately, the above clauses were very clear, and he could fill them out one by one according to his own situation.

"If the" resume "passes the review, there will be a first round of written examinations two days later, which is about the assessment of the arcane and magical basics in the element field." The person in charge retold the details of the task oddly, and she had never heard of the Resume and written test.

After two days, can I still stay in Allinge for two days?Would you like to transition from various low-pay short-term tasks?

Lowe was a little dazed, but his heart quickly surged fiercely, watching his apprentice's robe secretly said: "Can't do the task distraction, you must concentrate on reviewing the arcane and magic foundation ... Selling this robe to the exchange area should be able to Hold it for seven days! "

With the decision, Lowe's eyes became brighter, and his steps walked vigorously.

After the person in charge watched him leave, he shook his head, his face also showed a fanatical expression, and quickly got a resume to fill out.

Lowe just walked a few steps, and suddenly heard someone exclaim:

"Atom Apprenticeship Assistant?"

"Atomic Research Institute recruits people!"

"Really? Really? Let me see!"

In the sound of one after another, the entire mission area was boiling, and many apprentices were flushed with excitement, and they seemed to see a bright future!

This caused Lowe to frown slightly, and the competition seemed to be fierce, but he immediately laughed at himself with ridicule. If there was no fierce competition for this kind of thing, it means he had been dreaming.

Walking steadily, Lowe saw the teacher in his magic school as he passed the mission platform on the far side. The normally kind and middle-aged man now dances like apprentices.

"Teacher Barzali, hello." Lowe said politely.

Balzali recognized that he was a satisfied student, so he smiled at Lowey with blue hair and blue eyes: "You also come to take the task? Go and take the apprentice assistant task of the Atomic Institute, I just took it!"

"Teacher, you, are you not a second-level magician, a second-level arcanist? This is an apprentice assistant!" Lowe asked in amazement.

Balzali shook his fist and said enthusiastically: "What does this matter? As long as you can enter the Atomic Research Institute and be an apprentice as a magician, what does it matter? That is at the forefront of the elemental field, and you can hear the road The teachings of Mr. Sean Evans are exposed to the deepest mysteries of elements and matter, "

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

However, the flames of dreams and ambitions in his heart were burning and could not be extinguished, which filled him with anticipation and motivation.

…………

After the first round of written examinations and interviews, there was an overwhelming Rocker in the Atomic Research Institute.

In response, Lucien asked curiously and implicitly, "What's the matter, Rock? There are no favorite objects? No one gives you a hug? I remember that the research institute has been crushed by the crowd these days. . "

Roque said angrily: "Some female apprentices do have such a move, er, a few male apprentices also ... but I refused. I want to find a marriage partner, do I dare to ask for this? And I like it Those are all self-respecting and self-respecting, polite and alienated, there is no chance at all, what's wrong! "

Lucien laughed and patted Rock's shoulder: "It's a good thing to expand your friends and find a marriage partner, but you can't do this. It's not difficult to find a mistress, but you can find independence and self-improvement. A good girl in love can only be huh. I was going to persuade you a few days ago, but I want to let you take some lessons, okay, let go of my thoughts and just complete the second round of written and interview, I will personally Do the final interview. "

Roque sighed and complained in a joke: "You know exactly what you say."

"Of course, I have a girlfriend." Lucian replied jokingly.
