Chapter 186 Magic Badge (Second Update)
Lazar nodded with a smile: "Of course, as long as it is new magic that the council does not have. Moreover, compared to reviewing papers, all you need to do is summon the alchemy life in the "Magic Exchange Room" and compare it with the previous magic and confirm that it can be released. The gentlemen of the 'Arcane Review Committee' can complete the evaluation in twenty minutes at the earliest."
As soon as he finished speaking, Simeon next to him added: "However, Evans, you have to remember that although you can get arcane points and activate badges, when you want to obtain the official arcane level in the future, that basic arcane point must be obtained. Because the council requires every magician to have a solid arcane foundation, and only after becoming an arcanist can they choose their own research direction."
"I will find time to pass the arcane assessment of the 'Magician Management Department'." Lucian replied in a normal tone, as if he was talking about what to eat for dinner tonight, but Simeon and Lazar both thought that Lucian meant to apply for the assessment as soon as possible after he finished learning those arcane and magic books and made up for the foundation.
Waving goodbye to Annick and the other magic apprentices, Lucian walked towards District 4 under the leadership of Lazar.
"Mr. Simeon has just become a second-level arcanist and has great hopes of breaking through to the intermediate level." As he walked, Lazar sighed to Lucian, "I don't know when I will have thirty arcane points."
After hearing this, Lucian asked suspiciously: "How many arcane points do you need for each level of arcane level up?"
"Initially, it was said to be a multiple of ten, but then the arcane points required later would be too exaggerated, after all, there were only 10,000 or 20,000 arcanists in the whole world, so a legendary magician who liked the philosophical concept of 'everything is three' added the level of 'three' in the middle, and it became what it is now. Ten arcane points to become a first-level arcanist, and promotion to the second level requires thirty arcane points, one hundred for the third level, three hundred for the fourth level, one thousand for the fifth level, three thousand for the sixth level, ten thousand for the seventh level, thirty thousand for the eighth level, and one hundred thousand for the ninth level." Lazar liked the feeling of being questioned.
As he walked, light shone on both sides from time to time, but the two badges of arcane and magic worn by Lazar bloomed with a faint brilliance, causing them to retreat on their own.
…………
The "Magician Management Department" has an open hall with pale yellow sofas, coffee tables, counters, wine cabinets, and other items, giving it a relaxed and enlightened feel, like a salon and club.
Next to the passage from the lobby to the back office, lounge, and data room, there is a reception desk made of silver-gray metal, and two lively and cute girls stand there. The magicians who came and went, as long as they were not the more gloomy kind, liked to tease them a few words, and there were many young people who pursued them with all their hearts.
"Mr. Lazar, have you finished receiving any of you and come back?" One of the taller flaxen-haired girls bowed with a smile and asked, she was wearing a long bud yellow dress and had beautiful eyebrows.
Lazar's smile brightened again: "Of course, Cindy sweetheart, didn't you see Mr. Evans next to me? A twenty-year-old official magician."
Then he pointed to the two girls: "Evans, they are Cindy and Donna, the sweethearts who make the 'Magic Management Department' full of laughter, they are all graduates of high-level magic apprentices, and they are working while preparing to impact the official magician."
Cindy just gave him a blank look at Lazar's sweetheart's ridicule, didn't say anything, and looked at Lucian with a coquettish smile: "Welcome, Mr. Evans. A 20-year-old official magician is a genius wherever he goes, especially since you are an ancient inheritance. If you become an intermediate magician, I haven't broken through yet, can you accept me as an apprentice? A real apprentice?"
"Mr. Evans, I want it too, don't forget me!" Dona, who is short but plump, shakes her long brownish-red hair.
Lucian didn't expect them to be so enthusiastic, and he was a little shy for a while, not knowing how to answer.
Lazar laughed: "Evans, it seems that you don't have much experience with women. They just like to welcome new magicians in this joking way."
"In fact, they are good at both arcane and mental power, and they are still minors at the age of seventeen and are advanced magic apprentices, and there is a good chance that they will become official magicians before the age of twenty. And they have decided to focus on energy fields, electromagnetism and light and darkness in the future, which do not match the astrology and elements you are good at, besides, Nicholas Intermediate Magician is already interested in accepting them as students."
"I thought I would suddenly become attractive and be warmly welcomed by the girls." Lucian joked humorously.
Cindy's clear and beautiful eyes stared at Lucian seriously: "Actually, Mr. Evans, you are really charming, handsome, gentle and calm, and you also give people a bit of a melancholic and mysterious feeling, hey, you attract me more than Mr. Lazar."
"That really makes me sad." Lazar made a sad expression, then tried to get serious, "Mr. Eric, are they in the office?"
Dona, who was smiling, pointed to the passage behind her: "The other gentlemen are very busy, only Mr. Eric is waiting for Mr. Lazar."
While complaining that his charm has decreased, Lazar took Lucian to the third office with the smiling eyes of the two girls, and the door sign read "Eric, Deacon of the Magician Management Department".
knocked lightly on the door, and a majestic voice sounded: "Please come in, the door is unlocked."
Through the slowly opening door, Lucian saw rows of bookshelves inside, not books, but silver-gray papers without the slightest fold or bend, which were like metal sheets, shimmering with a strange light, and on top of them, there were also bright silver lines connecting with the walls that glowed with light blue light around them.
In addition to the bookshelves, there was a dark black cabinet in the room, an iron cage with bells hanging and a metal shield.
In front of the bookshelf was a desk, and behind it sat a bald man in a black suit, black tie, and a half-height top hat on his right side.
The ordinary-looking man, about forty years old, raised his head, looked at Lucian with pale gray pupils like crystal gems as if he could see through people's hearts, and then lowered his head to write something.
"Hello, Mr. Eric." Lazar put away the smiling expression he had had when dealing with Cindy, Donna, and others, and bent down and bowed seriously and solemnly.
Eric nodded: "Welcome, new magic companion, come and register and receive the badge. Lazar, your mission has been completed, take this note to the mission area to receive your reward." The note just written in front of him flew towards Lazar.
After Lazar got the note, he said to Lucian enthusiastically: "Evans, I am very happy to get along with you, you are really a good gentleman. I don't know if I have the honor to invite you to dinner and wait, I think we should be friends."
Along the way, Lucian's calm and solid attitude, "spiritual talent" and gentle and casual personality all made Lazar feel that this was a friend he could have a long-term relationship with.
"Thank you Lazar for your invitation, I just couldn't find a place to have dinner." When Lucian first arrived at the headquarters of the Magic Council, the person he knew most was Lazar, so naturally he didn't mind having another warm and kind friend.
Lazar waved the note with satisfaction: "I have paid the task and will come to you after receiving the reward. Hehe, by then you should have worn the magic badge and the activated arcane badge."
When Lazar left, Lucian walked up to Eric and sat down, and then he saw clearly that there were three silver stars on a black background on Eric's chest, and four black rings on a silver background.
"Level 3 Arcanist, Four-Rings Magician......"
While thinking silently, Eric took out a piece of silver-gray metallic paper, put it on the table and pushed it to Lucian: "You fill in the information and give it to me so that I can activate the magic badge."
Lucian took the silver-gray paper and looked at it, which only needed to be filled in with name, age, faction and magic level.
The Magic Council doesn't seem to care much about the background and origin.
Seeing that Lucian had not started writing, Eric said lukewarmly: "You can fill in the rest of the information on another blank piece of paper, so that the council will save a lot of effort when helping you obtain identity documents and certification documents from the Kingdom of Holm or other countries. By the way, if you get married in the future, please register with the 'Magician Management Department', we have already accepted many cases of disputes over the inheritance of magicians."
Lucian then picked up the quill and wrote "Lucian Evans, twenty years old, good at astrology and elemental systems, a magician." Then I wrote a little information on a blank piece of paper.
Getting the silver-gray paper, Eric looked at it carefully, with a suspicious smile on his face: "Lucian Evans, this name is really common. That great musician is called this, and a low-level elemental mage who was promoted to second-level arcanist a few days ago also has this name, and I have often heard of it before."
"There are really so many people with the same name and surname." Lucian had to believe what Natasha said, touched his chin and said, "Maybe this name is too ordinary."
Eric didn't say anything, and pointed to the patterned metal shield placed in the open space next to him: "Cast a one-ring magic, I want to verify your magic level."
The two silver-black magic missiles immediately condensed and hit the metal shield, causing ripples like water waves.
Eric nodded: "It's not a magic item that is excited, it comes from within the soul. Evans, you are indeed a ring magician."
After saying that, he turned around and took out two badges from the dark black cabinet, put one of them into the iron cage with the bell hanging along with the silver-gray paper, and then pulled the bell hanging rope.
The jingling sound sounded, and the iron cage lit up with brilliant silver, which slowly extinguished after a minute.
When it was taken out, the silver-gray paper had extended a bright silver line like other metal papers on the bookshelf and connected to the light on the wall.
And a deep black ring had appeared on the silver-based badge, which seemed to have been inlaid inside, indelible.
"This Sorcerer Badge will record your name, age, Spirit Brand, Breath, Magic Level, and Arcane Points you have. You will have to pass it when receiving and paying Arcane points in the future. No one else can use it except myself." Eric handed the two badges to Lucian and asked him to leave a spiritual imprint on them, "And I have a copy of this information here, and I also have a copy in the data room of the Supreme Council, so don't think about modifying the magic level and arcane points yourself."
"With this badge, you go to the 'Mission Area' to receive guidance and receive basic books on arcane and magic, as well as meditation methods. At the same time, as a magician, you can receive materials or potions worth one Kintale in the council a month, and you can also use them to borrow books."
Lucian put the activated magician badge on his left chest, then looked at the black arcane badge in his hand and said without the slightest light, "Mr. Eric, I want to activate the arcane badge, is it with you?"
"Yes. Write down the unique magic you need to submit on parchment paper and send it to the Arcane Review Committee in a magic circle. I believe that the evaluation results will be available within half an hour." Eric replied flatly, not surprisingly, this kind of thing that relies on unique magic to activate arcane badges will always happen once in a while.
After saying that, he added: "Don't worry, I won't peek."
Lucian smiled slightly, "I understand, Mr. Eric. But what if it was a paper on arcane studies? In addition to submitting to the 'Arcane Review Committee', do I still need to submit it to the journal myself?"
"Thesis?!" Eric raised his head, his pale gray eyes officially looking at Lucian for the first time after his initial look.
