Chapter 239 Partners
Magician Management Department.
Eric took out Lucian's arcane badge from the magic cage, and the four bright silver stars on it looked mysterious and vast against the dark background, as if they contained countless mysteries.
"A total of seven hundred and eight arcane points. Even if you don't have any other arcane papers in a short period of time, you can successfully become a level five arcanist in a year or two." Eric handed Lucian the badge with the updated arcane points, his accustomed stiff expression with obvious emotion, "You will be the youngest level 5 arcanist since the Magic Council has an arcane level, but you are also the lowest magic level among the arcanists of this level."
For a level three arcanist like Eric, the difference between level four and level three is only two hundred arcane points, and he has the confidence to look forward to and hope, and after years of hard work, there are only thirty-six points left before level four, but level five seems so far away and untouchable. When he suddenly saw a young man who had been in Alinge for less than a year and had great hope of becoming a level five arcanist, he couldn't help but sigh a little.
The arcanist level is not only related to the importance and treatment within the Magic Council, but also signifies the potential and prospects for magical strength improvement.
As long as the magician himself is not proud and complacent, embarks on a crooked path, does not rely on age accumulation to raise his arcane level, and does not encounter cognitive bottlenecks, etc., then there is great hope that his magical strength will eventually rise to the same level or even exceed the arcane level. Moreover, when this kind of arcanist breaks through the middle to high level barrier, the Magic Council will definitely provide the help of magic rituals, so Eric seems to see a high-level magician who is about to grow up.
Lucian took the arcane badge, pinched it with his slender fingers and flipped it a few times, and smiled slightly: "Mr. Eric, thank you for your expectations. But the facts of these two months show that the good times of crazy points growth are over."
Because the discussion of the theory of human life mechanics was in full swing in the previous project presentation, when the journal at the end of the dormant month (February) was issued, Lucian's arcane integrals soared to 158, of which only 42 were from the periodic table cited and redetermined atomic weight data.
However, after February, because Felipe's experiment and the subsequent "miracle experiment" that simulated the primitive environment of nature were considered the key to overturning the theory of human vitality, Lucian's experiment of synthesizing urea was less cited, but the periodic table of reference integrals and redetermined atomic weight data expanded with the completion of the previous arcanists' research results, contributing 143 arcane points in two months, and nearly ten papers on alchemical substances helping to increase food production were also published due to the advent of other similar substances.
In the past two or three months, the increase has fallen sharply, and the citations from the periodic table and atomic weights have stabilized at about ten papers per month, so Lucian judged that there will be a long-term situation in the future, always but not too much, and it will take about two years to become a level five arcanist.
"The periodic table is the basis that every arcanist who studies the elemental field cannot bypass, and even if most of them can cite later papers, they will contribute a lot of arcane points to you every month. When you become a level 5 arcanist and your magic level rises to the fifth ring, you can come to me to apply for high-level magic ritual help." Eric said slightly politely, "Evans, your arcane level is already higher than mine, and I will be very unaccustomed to using honorific titles like 'you', you don't have to be so polite."
After saying that, he took out the magic badge and returned it to Lucian: "There are only two more arcane points from new magic learning and a monthly subsidy of forty-five from the council."
According to the regulations of the Magic Council, the first-level arcanist subsidizes the materials of one Kintale or one arcane point every month, etc., the second level is five, the third level is twenty, the fourth level is forty, the fifth level is eighty, the sixth level is three hundred, the seventh level is five hundred, the eighth level is nine hundred, the ninth level is two thousand, the same is true for magic level, the two can be superimposed.
Lucian first put the arcane badge on his left chest before taking the magic badge that was still two black rings, and the whole person felt a burst of refreshment, because when the arcane badge was raised to level three, that is, the middle level, it maintained a constant magic effect that relieved the fatigue of the soul and body, and when he became a high-level arcanist, he could still maintain one, and the same was true for the magic badge.
"Mr. Eric, please allow me to take my leave first, I need to go to the exchange area to buy materials." Lucian picked up the black top hat placed on the chair next to him and bowed slightly.
As soon as he left Eric's office, Lucian saw the door of another deacon's room open, and Felipe, who looked sick, slowly walked out with his hands in the pockets of his long black trench coat.
Felipe didn't expect to meet Lucian either, he was stunned for a moment and nodded slightly, then looked at his left chest, with a gloomy smile on his face: "Your arcane level and magic level have not increased."
Lucian always felt a little wrong when he heard Felipe's words, and subconsciously looked at the badge on his chest, only to see that there were already five restrained and deep stars on the silver star arcane badge on a black background that simulated the starry sky, and there were countless points of light flying around it, and what was even more surprising was that there were six black rings on the silver background of the magic badge!
"Advanced Magician......" Among the geniuses of this generation, Felipe finally surpassed everyone and became the first to become a high-level magician, and the number of high-level magicians in the entire Pale Hand was only in the early forties, even if you count the lichs that have lived for a long time. This means that Felipe has truly become the top of the Pale Hand.
Felipe didn't wait for Lucian's answer, and passed him directly with his hand, leaving behind a low voice that seemed to be hard to hear: "Don't be thrown too far by me."
Lucian tugged at the corners of his mouth and watched Felipe leave.

Following the corridor back to the hall of the Magician Management Department, Cindy winked at Lucian beautifully, and then said in a very formal tone: "Mr. Evans, there is a guest looking for you."
Who will look for me? Lucian looked suspiciously at the sofa next to the bar following Cindy's right hand, only to see a middle-aged man sitting there, holding a handkerchief and wiping the sweat flowing like a stream, the heat of late July had lasted for a long time.
"Mr. Arthur Doyle?" Lucian didn't understand why the president of Holm Mining Union Bank suddenly came to him.
Arthur threw the handkerchief to the glamorous and slender lady who followed him, his blonde personal secretary, and then walked up to Lucian, surrounded by two fierce-looking bodyguards, and stretched out his two hands to hold Lucian's right hand enthusiastically: "Mr. Evans, I arrived at your house first, but I heard that your butler said that you came to the Alinge Magic Tower, so I hurried over again, sweating profusely and smelling all over. Otherwise, I will give you the etiquette of a hug instead of a handshake."
This fat man really knows how to be polite and pays attention to details, Lucian muttered to himself, and his good impression of Arthur increased: "Mr. Doyle, I don't know what you are looking for me for?"
Arthur's chubby face showed a warm and kind smile: "Mr. Evans, let's have something to drink first and talk slowly."
Cindy went to the bar and poured two glasses of "sky blue" with ice and handed them to Lucian and Arthur, and then stayed by her side very curiously, ready to hear why the famous rich man in Rentat came to Lucian, did he want to support this genius arcanist with unlimited potential and great prospects?
Donna on the other side was also curious, but she couldn't leave at will if she stayed at the reception desk alone, so she pouted and looked at Cindy, who seemed to be playing the role of Lucian's secretary. Cindy turned her gaze and pretended not to see it.
Arthur shook the dreamy sky blue liquid, took a sip gently, and praised loudly: "It's so refreshing, the heat on my body disappeared in an instant."
Then he glanced at Cindy, as if he didn't think there was any need to keep it secret, so he didn't ask her to leave, and then said with a smile: "Mr. Evans, I am looking for you today to seek cooperation."
"Huh?" Lucian shook the wine glass in his hand noncommittally, causing the sky blue liquid to ripple slightly.
Arthur beckoned the blonde secretary to take out a thick stack of documents from her purse and hand it to Lucian: "Mr. Evans, I have seen your experimental fields in the small town of Sariwa, and the yield of oats and other food crops is beyond my imagination. I don't think a nobleman, a manor owner, can refuse your alchemy products, and I know from His Highness Prince Patrick that you already have a plan for large-scale synthesis."
"As the inventor, you naturally enjoy the right to dispose of these alchemy materials legally. According to the regulations of the Magic Council, if we set up a company to produce and promote the sale of these alchemical substances to other counties in the kingdom and other countries, we will cooperate in the form of the Magic Council owning 15% of the shares and you owning 15% of the shares. We will be the best partner."
Lucian took the document and flipped through it, and then realized that Arthur, the president of the Mining Union Bank, had taken a fancy to the value of fertilizer-based alchemy materials, and the large-scale synthesis of two of them also required the cooperation of the Mining Federation.
"Mr. Doyle, I am indeed interested in this cooperation plan, but I would like to study the specific terms of the contract." Lucian was trying to find a stable source of money, but there was no way to negotiate directly and agree.
Arthur laughed and said: "Mr. Evans, you are a genius magician who is valued by the Magic Council and the will of the elements, and a noble businessman like me who doesn't even have knightly blood is inspired, what dare do you dare to defraud the Magic Council and you? Maybe one day I will die 'normally' in a nightmare while sleeping."
It can be seen that this kind of powerless nobles and ordinary citizens respect and fear magicians, after all, no one will like this kind of powerful person who can dominate their own life and death from the bottom of their hearts, at most they only yearn for it.
After negotiating for a while, Arthur leaned into Lucian's ear and lowered his voice: "Mr. Evans, in fact, it was His Highness Prince Patrick who asked me to come to you this time, and we will give you five percent of the shares in private. This is a gift from His Highness the Prince to you."
Present? Lucian thought of someone, then smiled and shook his head: "If it weren't for His Highness the Prince, I would have insisted on 30%. In that case, Mr. Doyle, we are happy to cooperate."
"Happy cooperation, Mr. Evans." Arthur Doyle smiled so little that his eyes could barely see.
After checking the contract and signing the two sides, Arthur smiled slightly flatteringly and said, "Mr. Evans, the names of these alchemical substances are too awkward to use promotion, I don't know what suggestions you have?"
Lucian was silent for a minute, and then said expressionlessly: "Jin Killa ......."
