Chapter 7: Results of the audit
The magic tower of the council is on the fifteenth floor, in another room.
The crisp bell sounded pleasant and clear. A puppet bounced over after hearing the sound, then picked up the paper and turned it over: "Sonic paper? Apprentice? The master explained it, which is related to advanced magic or the latest arcane field. He let him review. Several students of the host are not here today, hey, they can only be handed over to several reviewing arcanists in the "Ordinary Arcanist Monthly" together. "
After recognizing the magic level, I waited another five minutes. After the "scream of a bat" was identified and transmitted, the puppet greeted a beautiful bird with red beak and green hair outside the window, and put together several papers accumulated before today Roll up and tie it, let it fly around to another magic tower in Aringe.
Not in the same magic tower, it is difficult to teleport.
The bird flew at an unusually high speed, and the feathers also produced a pale green barrier to block the wind, and soon disappeared into the sight of the puppet.
…………
The third floor of a sky-blue magic tower is a very crowded and cluttered room full of books.
A middle-aged gentleman with a golden mustache is looking at the journal in front of him, frowning and thinking.
Learning the latest research results in their respective fields is one of the main ways that magicians of their level want to go further.
Suddenly, he heard something beeping and pecking at the outer energy barrier of the magic tower, so he smiled, lowered the periodical in his hand, and pressed a magic button on the table in front of him.
The energy barrier was lifted, the window opened, and the red-billed green bird flew in, taking a few steps on the table proudly before putting down the papers in his mouth: "Mr. Woods, this is today's paper, please as soon as possible Review. "
The sound is as pleasing as its tweet.
Woods took out a handful of strange white particles and threw it to the bird: "Selina, is there any magic rating? If not, come and pick it up at this time tomorrow."
Selena pecked at the particles with satisfaction. Hem hummingly: "There is a copy, Mr. Woods, you will make a decision soon."
Woods heard that he untied the lace and found the parchment with the new magic:
"The scream of a bat, apprentice-level magic ... hey, it's a little bit interesting." After casually Woods browsed the principle and construction process behind him, there was a surprise emotion on his face.
When he finished reading, he couldn't help but clenched his fingers and knocked at the wooden table, his mouth pursing: "This, this. This ... should have a corresponding paper?"
As he said, he turned over other parchments:
"" Exploring the Application of Sound Waves in the Field of Magical Exploration from the Flight Experiment of Young Bats? "Lucian Evans? That's it."
Taking out the paper, he read it carefully from the beginning:
"... a very enchanting magician. Has basic arcanist potential."
"In the past, the magic empire and the current magic council's research on creatures was basically confined to the field of magic creatures and humans. Few people studied ordinary creatures. Even if they are, it is similar to the strength of bears and the agility of cats. No wonder No one has ever discovered that small bats fly by hearing, not by sight. "
"... The process of designing and ruling out comparative experiments is very exciting. Very rigorous. Although not much knowledge of arcane is involved, this thinking method and mode of thinking are worth promoting and learning. There is only a lonely magician? This young magician has no arcane level? It's amazing! "Read and read, he couldn't help but turn to the front. Look at the author's signature and grade.
"Lucian Evans, this name is so common that it is hard to think of who it is. But I believe that he will often see his name in the future. I have to suggest that he add a letter after the name when publishing a paper to distinguish it from other people with the same name. . "
After Zai carefully read this paper, Woods stood up and ordered his apprentice to catch two little bats.
Although I don't understand why Mr. Woods wants bats, the requirements of the fourth-level arcanist and the fourth-ring magician cannot be violated. Fortunately, the bat can also be used as a recipe for several magic potions, and he can find two in ten minutes.
Woods repeated Lucian's experiment for a short time. The expression became more and more excited: "It can really be located by high-frequency echo. This allows sonic magic to break through the limitations of the past. It is no longer used only for deterrence, destruction and killing!"
Sonic magic is generally scattered into various factions. For example, Homanz's cough series is the force field system, and the banshee is the necromancy system.
Suppressing her mood to write a paper to discuss the application immediately, Woods sat back and raised the quill to write the assessment results on the front of Lucian's thesis:
"Groundbreaking ..."
The same scene also appeared in another magic tower, but it became the headquarters of the journal "Sonic".
…………
In the lobby of the "Magician Management Department", Lucien was sitting on the sofa and drinking a non-alcoholic beverage "Sky Blue" which Lazar strongly recommended, which was sweet and moist, and was liked by Lucien.
In the transparent glass, the clear blue liquid was slowly rippling with Lucian's shaking, while he was drinking, talking leisurely with Lazar about the common sense of the magic council.
Seeing that it was close to 5.40, when the magic tower of the parliament headquarters was closed, the two wizards sat in the lobby tasting drinks, and Cindy and Donna were very curious, so they were more lively. Cindy quietly stretched her neck and said quietly, "Mr. Lazar, Mr. Evans, what else do you have in the management department?"
Lazar pointed at Lucien with a smile: "I accompany Evans and wait for his new magic assessment results, huh, and the results of the dissertation review. But the dissertation review usually takes three days to come out, Cindy, you know, the review committee The gentlemen are big men and they are always 'rigorous' in doing things, so they are slow. "
"Of course, the gentlemen of the review committee have their own endless research, exploration, and home entertainment." Cindy first answered Lazar's words, then turned to Lucian in surprise, "Mr. Evans's thesis? "
Lazar nodded surely.
Both Cindy and Donna opened their mouths and hushed twice: "Mr. Evans, have you learned arcane before?"
"After studying for more than a month, although I feel that I'm making good progress, that paper is just some experience of improving magic before." Lucian sipped "Sky Blue".
The two girls sang, and Cindy smiled, "Although such a paper may not pass well, I think the new magic will definitely bring you the activation of the Arcane Badge for Mr. Evans. And Mr. Evans you The first person I met to dare to submit a dissertation on the day of joining the council. Hey, congratulations on loading the 'History of Cindy'! "
With such a lively girl, there will be no pressure and restraint, Lucian chuckled: "It is an honorable thing."
The four young people talked and laughed for a while, and Lazar took out his pocket watch and looked at it: "It's five o'clock, Evans. Let's go to Mr. Eric's office to see the results of the audit. I hope you can successfully activate Austria Surgery badge. "
"I hope you can get arcane points for Mr. Evans." The two girls followed.
…………
Inside Eric's office.
"The results of the audit have not been returned. Do the gentlemen in the field of audit committee have important things today." Even Eric's attention and majesty can't help asking questions. Normally, an apprentice-level magic review will yield results in twenty minutes. After all, everyone knows that the gentlemen of the committee will definitely not judge this level of magic by themselves.
Lazar was a little worried for Lucian: "Mr. Eric, it's six o'clock in twenty minutes. Can we wait here for the results?"
"There should be nothing, you can sit at will." Eric wondered, took out a magic book without disturbing his rhythm, and began to analyze magic with the help of the auxiliary magic circle, without wasting any time.
Lucian was calm. Because this means that the "scream of a bat" has passed the review of the "Magic Exchange Hall", which is a new type of magic in the standard sense. Otherwise, it may only take five minutes to be beaten back. I have at least one arcane point.
Due to Eric's intensive study, Lazar was slightly worried that the office was a bit depressingly quiet.
In this atmosphere, time passes by every minute. Seeing that the minute hand of Lazar's pocket watch was about to cross the limit of the third to last bar, and into the last ten minutes, the ringing bell rang. The iron cage shines milky by itself.
Eric closed the auxiliary magic circle, put down the quill, and stood up, shaking his head, "It's finally here."
The milky light disappeared, and Eric wondered: "Why are there three documents?"
He first took out a look: "The scream of a bat. Apprentice-level magic, Mr. Garfield and Mr. Jeffrey evaluated the result: 'This application is groundbreaking magic. But the magic structure has serious flaws, There are many things that need to be improved, including five levels of comprehensive level, principle, effect, structure, and meaning, and reward three arcane points and four arcane points. "
Eric for a moment forgot the other two documents, and looked back at Lucian in surprise, saying in his mouth: "Groundbreaking? Three arcane points? This is apprentice-level magic ..."
Normally, a new circle of magic rewards two arcane points, and the meaning of the word groundbreaking in evaluation is very clear to Eric!
The magicians were present, and their mental strength was not low. Both Lazar and Lucien heard Eric's whisper.
"Mr. Eric, do you mean that the new magic submitted by Evans has received three arcane points and groundbreaking evaluations?" Lazar looked at Eric with a slightly crooked head.
Lucian was calmer, and didn't quite understand the meaning of the three arcane points and groundbreaking, just thinking that since magic has got this evaluation, the paper should not be worse.
Eric had already recovered his emotions at this time, after all, it was only apprentice-level magic, and he didn't know the specific content. He took a deep look at Lucien: "Yes, Evans' apprentice-level magic 'Scream of a Bat' was rewarded with three arcane points and groundbreaking evaluation. It is really hard to believe."
He was flying the document to Lazar.
Lazar looked after it several times before he could believe it. He looked at Lucien like a monster: "This magic is imitating a bat?" This seems to be the direction of ancient magic.
"Yes," Lucian replied affirmatively, "the enchantment of imitation bats."
Lazar held his forehead and sighed, "It's really jealous? Right Mr. Eric, are there two more documents?"
Eric was reminded that he remembered that there were two more documents, so he picked up another.
His expression freezes suddenly, until Lazar calls softly: "The result of the review of Evans' arcane thesis came out."
"So fast ?!" Lazar couldn't believe that the gentlemen of the committee would finish the review so diligently.
Eric had a bitter expression, and seemed to remember the situation when he submitted his first arcane thesis:
"Yes, this is the result of the review. Mr. Garfield's evaluation was: 'The groundbreaking application of sound waves, rigorous experimental design, amazingly sharp observation and thinking style, is a weighty, research and discussion Value papers, it is recommended to reward four arcane points and six arcane points, and it is recommended that the author of the paper add a letter after the name to distinguish it from others. "
Both eyes looked at Lucian at the same time, such an evaluation never appeared on a magician who had not been exposed to arcane for a long time! Never appeared on the first arcane thesis of a certain magician!
