Chapter 217 follow-up mission
——First of all, I apologize for taking half a day off, which is the chapter tomorrow morning, because I need to sort out the outline behind it, improve the details and arrangements, and maintain a good rhythm. I will make up this chapter next weekend.
………………………………………………………………………………
After wearing this extremely beautiful and exquisite Holm crown ring on the middle finger of his right hand, Lucian immediately felt his spiritual power condense, and his body seemed to have been washed away by a clear spring, washing away the hidden scars and dust, and full of vitality, which almost made Lucian think that his magician and knight levels had both increased.
"As expected of a seventh-level perfect magic ring, the constant three magic effects are obviously refined for my situation." The corners of Lucian's mouth curled up unconsciously, and his wealth obsession and collecting habit made him look very happy, "With the 'Elemental' ring, it only takes about two to three years for me to raise my soul and spiritual power to the level of the third ring.
If you simply study the Book of Astrology and Elements, with Lucian's mental power talent that is higher than that of ordinary magic apprentices but far below the standards of strength and genius, you may have hope of being promoted to intermediate magician in twenty or thirty years, and you are not very sure, unless you transform your body and soul through all kinds of dangerous, evil, and bloody magic rituals during these years.
But with the mathematical knowledge from the soul library, Lucian is much simpler and easier to construct when analyzing intermediate magic composed of complex curves, surfaces, etc., and the requirements for soul and spiritual power are greatly reduced. Now there is the "Brook Meditation Method", with the "elemental" ring, various magic potions and material resources, and with the magic research bridge that connects his knowledge with the laws of the world, it is not a dream to become an intermediate magician in a year or two.
Of course, any level advancement has the possibility of failure, and the further you go, the more this is true.
"A magic ring of this level is worth at least hundreds of thousands of gold thales or arcane points, which is the value of a bustling city and all the manors, towns, and villages around it, which is equivalent to the entire net worth of a wealthy viscount or a relatively poor earl. In comparison, the rewards of the Magic Council are really pitiful, no wonder the Holm Crown Award is the highest honor in the field of elemental and alchemy, and the value of this ring alone sets it off."
Lucian looked at the ring on his right hand carefully, his thoughts were racing: "I heard that several other awards imitating the Crown of Holm are also magic items that reward the seventh level of perfection, the Immortal Throne is a talisman or necklace, the Silver Moon Medal and the Ice and Snow Medal are badges, the Wizard Laurel is a crown, headdress, mage hat, glasses and other things that can be worn on the head, and the Arcane Scepter is a magic staff, all of which are very expensive and valuable, and the effect is very good, if you can get ......."
Thinking about it, Lucian felt that his saliva was about to flow out, so he had to clear his throat and stay calm.
On the opposite side, Morris saw Lucian staring at Holm's crown ring in a daze, and he could probably feel his mood, but he only felt that his heart was like a knife, refining this ring was not too difficult for him, an archmage of the elemental and alchemy systems, but if he wanted to reach the perfect level, he would have three constant magic effects, and the materials used were very precious and rare, often priceless, and most of the time even if he used a country to exchange it, he couldn't exchange it.
Thinking that he had to go on a tour every day to appreciate the elemental will and the lack of materials in the half-plane warehouse of the Holm Royal Magic Academy, Morris was really in the mood to vomit blood, but fortunately, according to the frequency, the Holm Crown Award would only be awarded once every ten years, so as not to drive him crazy.
After the award ceremony, most of the arcanists disappeared without a trace in less than five minutes, and they were eager to try Lucian's idea of purifying those elements.
Lucian reluctantly put down his right hand and was about to return to Alinge with Lazar. At this time, Gaston, who had gray hair, a pair of strange dark yellow eyes and a hooked nose, and a blonde and blue-eyed, mature and beautiful beauty walked over together.
"Evans, I wonder how you feel about our elemental will? Are you interested in joining?" Gaston got straight to the point, while Morris, who had not yet left, watched with a smile.
Lucian submitted the periodic table in order to get the attention of the elemental will, and naturally replied without hesitation: "I am very interested in elemental magic, and the communication with the arcanists of the elemental will in the past few days has also been very pleasant, and I am very happy to join the elemental will."
Gaston nodded in satisfaction, then glanced at Morris. Morris laughed and stretched out his right hand: "As the president, on behalf of all the Arcanists of the Elemental Will, I welcome you to join Evans. As a greeting gift, you can wait to go to the Elemental Will Headquarters, which is the Royal Magic Tower of Holm, to select potions, materials or magic items worth 2,000 Arcane Points."
If it is a low-level magician, the elemental will, like the pale hand, only gives things worth fifty to two hundred arcane points, and although Lucian has not yet updated the arcane badge, in the eyes of everyone, he is already a genuine fourth-order arcanist, and has the glorious aura bonus of the Holm Crown Award!
"Then do I have any obligations?" After shaking hands, Lucian asked seriously, although he liked the rule of giving gifts when he joined like this, Lucian still understood the truth very well about eating other people's short mouths and being soft on others, such as the original Wilfrid leading those poor necromancers.
Morris adjusted the collar of his purple elemental magic robe and replied with a smile: "We give protection to the members of the organization so that they can grow smoothly in the Magic Council, and we also need members to contribute to the organization, generally in the form of giving tasks, of course, if you feel that the task is too dangerous, you can pay an appropriate price to replace it, we will not force members to do things they are not sure about. Of course, Evans, you are only a magician, and for a genius like you who is not strong enough and has great potential, before becoming an intermediate or even advanced level, you will only be given research tasks."
"Then I can rest assured, thank you, Your Excellency Morris." Lucian thought for a while, but still didn't take out the Holm crown ring that Natasha gave him.
Morris patted Lucian on the shoulder: "You have sharp thinking, rigorous logic, and a humble character, I am very optimistic about your future, and I hope you can move forward on the arcane road in a solid manner. Okay, you wait to register and collect things at the Royal Magic Tower of Holm, and Florosa will explain the rest to you about your mission."
Then he took his eyes off Holm's crown ring with difficulty and walked out of the hall with Gaston, leaving Lucian alone to face the mature and beautiful Florence.
Florence smiled faintly, her beautiful green eyes looked at Lucian from top to bottom unabashedly, and finally curled her fingers one by one with satisfaction: "Handsome, elegant, polite, smart, able to talk, sharp thinking, modest and decent, famous and status, Lucian, you are really the dream lover of ladies. To be honest, I want to date you." She called Lucian directly.
Lucian didn't expect this hot and mature beauty to be so enthusiastic and direct as soon as she opened her mouth, and she was immediately embarrassed and didn't know how to answer.
Seeing Lucian's restrained appearance, Florence covered her mouth and giggled: "What a young man, I'm afraid he has no experience. It's a pity that I'm already married, otherwise I will teach you well."
Lucian could only be speechless about this bold style of a married woman.
Florence stopped laughing and said charmingly: "Lucian, you are already a fourth-order arcanist, and according to the regulations of the Magic Council, you belong to the middle level, so you will automatically resign from Douglas School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, unless you want to kick Donald away and become the principal yourself. In fact, I would love to see a Holm Crown Prize winner serving in the school, it would be sensational news."
In these kingdoms across the sea, thanks to the improvement of papermaking and printing under the side effects of magical research, newspapers and periodicals are much richer and more active than on the mainland.
"Actually, I like the quiet environment of the school very much." Lucian was a little emotional.
Florence put away her charming expression and said rarely seriously: "You are already intermediate, so you have to accept the task of the council, I am afraid that some guys who play with dead people will take the opportunity to deal with you, so I arranged a task for you in advance, so as not to let you run around and delay your golden stage of absorbing and learning arcane knowledge."
"Ms. Florence, what is the mission?" Lucian also became serious.
Florence looked at Lucian's tense and serious face, and suddenly smiled, graceful: "Don't be so serious, a very simple task. Some of the druids in the Stroop Forest in the east followed their Great Elder Legendary Druid Mafario to Alinge to prepare to conduct a joint research project with the Magic Council."
"This great elder has always guarded the forest and the land, and at the same time is full of sympathy for the farmers at the bottom, believing that after a year of hard work, the grain harvested is only enough to pay taxes to the lord and barely starve to death, and often does not live to be fifty years old, and there is no hope when natural disasters cause agricultural production to be reduced. And his druids include less than a thousand apprentices, even if the druids on the whole continent add up to less than 10,000, and casting spells also consumes mental power, so if you want to help farmers increase their production through spells, you can only benefit a few, and even farmers in a country cannot completely help."
"And even if it helps this year, it will return to its original state the following year, and even some spells will cause serious damage to the land. Therefore, this time the villages near Stroop Forest suffered a large-scale reduction in production due to drought, which finally made His Excellency Malfurio determined to seek the help of our council to see how to effectively turn their spells into universal alchemy products to increase the yield of the land and its ability to resist disasters. 「
"This task is to analyze their spells in reverse, understand the principles, and then simplify and popularize them. This requires a deep foundation in arcane, so the council is led by His Excellency the Storm Lord, His Excellency Hathaway, and His Excellency the Revenant, and Lavendi, Mr. Gaston, etc. will participate, and a lot of necromancers and elementals will be drawn, you can join one of the groups to learn along, anyway, if you fail, there will be big people on it."
The magic council has long planned to study their spell system and figure out the roots. Lucian only needs to follow some experience and take the opportunity to learn the principles and mathematical knowledge of reverse analysis.
Lucian understood what Florence meant, this was a rare learning opportunity, and maybe he could use the druid's unique spell to invent something like new magic: "I went back to the school to deal with the affairs of the school, so I went to the mission area to collect the task."
Florence smiled charmingly and said: "Very good, I put a lot of effort into putting you in, if it weren't for your reputation as the Holm Crown Award, those stubborn druids wouldn't want you to join."
After saying that, Florence's expression changed slightly, and after nodding to Lucian, she hurriedly left, because Ravendi came over.
Lavindi took out a piece of white paper and handed it to Lucian: "Evans, this is the mathematical book I selected for you. You study hard and lay a solid foundation in your arcane skills."
There are forty or fifty books densely packed on it.
Before Lucian could speak, Ravendi took out a thick stack of scrolls from his storage bag: "I recently inquired about you and appreciate your practice of improving your apprenticeship practice in the magic school. This is a topic that I have collected over the years that suits you, you can practice it well."
Lucian's expression suddenly became embarrassed, was he raising a stone to shoot himself in the foot?
…………
Not long after the Holm Crown Award was awarded, the Pale Hand and other internal organizations of the Magic Council, the bishops of the Shinshinshin Church Holm Diocese, and the great nobles of the Holm Kingdom received information one after another.
Only 26 Holm Crown Medal winners in more than 270 years will naturally receive attention from all sides.
