Chapter 534 Invitation (Third Update Asking for a Monthly Pass)
Endless Ocean, Solar Islands, Magic Council Branch.
Although the shadow of the mid-level magician's head exploding in public had not yet been completely erased from Blake's mind, nothing could stop him from listening to the "Voice of the Mystery" and "The Real World", which was a popular form of entertainment throughout the archipelago, better than banquets and balls.
"Good evening everyone, this is "Alinge News Review of the Week", I am your old friend Lark."
Listening to this crisp and calm voice every night, Blake felt like he really had an extra friend, a friend who could listen to her in the dead of night, a friend he had never met but felt familiar with.
The Lark reviewed the big news one by one, and Blake listened intently, sometimes rejoicing in the progress of arcane research, sometimes worried about the cloudy situation in Holm.
「…… In the past few days, there has been an unprecedented craze in Alinge, with an unknown number of apprentices and magicians submitting resumes to the Atomic Research Institute and flocking to the eighteenth floor of the Alinge Magic Tower to participate in written tests and interviews. According to the insider's description, the area around the Atomic Research Institute was crowded in those days, like waves of ocean, such a grand occasion, she had only seen it when the great arcanists participated in an arcane conference, and they completely blocked the nearby passage."
"Lark" had a smile in his cold voice, especially when it came to "insiders".
"What resume? Written test, and interview?" Blake said to himself a little dazedly, but the words "atomic research institute" aroused his strong interest, which should be Mr. Lucian Evans' atomic research institute, right? Could it be that he proposed some theoretical system that changed the times? No, there are apprentices and magicians involved, it should be something else.
"Lark" continued: "Many listeners who are not in Alinge should not know what happened, so I will briefly review the matter, on July 3rd, the Atomic Research Institute issued the 'Apprenticeship Recruitment Mission', preparing to hire ten apprentice-level assistants to assist the arcanists in the institute in conducting experiments."
"Strangely, the recruitment method used by the Atomic Research Institute is very special, you need to first obtain a resume form, fill in your name, age, faction, magic school evaluation results in detail, and attach your magic image......"
Blake couldn't hear what "Lark" was talking about next, his brain was buzzing, and sentences such as "Atomic Research Institute" and "Preparing to hire ten apprentice-level assistants" seemed to turn into stormy waves, constantly hitting his mind.
"Will the Atomic Research Institute actually lack apprentice-level assistants?"
"If I can enter the Atomic Research Institute and participate in the most cutting-edge research in the microscopic field, it may not be long before I can raise both arcane and magic levels to the intermediate level!"
"It's over, it's over, their interviews should be over......"
In Blake's opinion, if the Atomic Research Institute wants an apprentice-level assistant, the team around Alinge can be immediately lined up outside the door, of course, the reality is the same, but according to his idea, shouldn't the magic school directly recommend elite apprentices, or take care of the juniors of familiar high-level mages? They actually released the task publicly!
"It is rumored that Mr. Lucian Evans is a gentleman with integrity and a rigorous arcane attitude, and it should be his idea to choose the best ones fairly, openly, and impartially......"
Many magic apprentices who are not excellent in school will have arcane and magical abilities stronger than those elite apprentices due to various encounters, but because of the difference at the beginning, it is difficult to catch up in level and cannot get more opportunities.
"That's the bad thing about staying away from Alinge, it's really frustrating to know a lot of things after the statute of limitations...... Blake sighed softly, then gathered his attention and heard the voice of "Lark" again.
「…… It is understood that there were more than 500 apprentices who submitted their resumes that day, and nearly 80 formal and intermediate magicians were willing to join the Atomic Research Institute as apprentices......"
Blake snorted unhappily, he thought the same when he heard the news just now, and planned to give up his treatment as a formal magician and join as an apprentice, even if he did odd jobs.
I heard that Mr. Evans holds a regular discussion meeting once a month, and even if he listens, the gains should be great.
「…… At present, the first round of resume screening, written test and interview of the Atomic Research Institute has ended, Mr. Lucian Evans did not participate, the whole process is in charge of Mr. Jerome and Mr. Roque, according to them, 25 qualified candidates have been selected, and after the second round of recruitment, the final general interview will be conducted together, and Mr. Evans will be personally responsible for it at that time."
First, the second round? Blake almost jumped, so there is still a chance?
"Lark" Qingyue's voice reached his ears: "Here, I would like to remind the members of various branches and local magic organizations outside Alinge that today is July 8th, and at 6 pm on July 10th, resume submission will be closed, and the second round of written examinations will start on July 12th.
"You are all members of the Magic Council, and the Council and the Atomic Research Institute will treat you equally. This second round of recruitment was actually specially added by Mr. Evans for you, and he said that he couldn't make magicians and apprentices outside of Alinge feel abandoned."
The corners of his eyes were slightly sour, and Blake was quite moved, the magicians and apprentices in Alinge could never feel the pain that seemed to be forgotten by the council, why "Voices of the Mystery" and "The Real World" became popular entertainment methods all over the island, in addition to being able to learn a lot of knowledge from them and grasp the latest research trends, it also lies in the fact that they provide a link between Alinge and the archipelago:
"Thank you, Mr. Evans, thank you ...... council."
「…… You can ask your friends in Alinge to help you fill out and submit your resumes, I think all branches and local organizations should have electromagnetic messaging arrangements, if you don't have friends in Alinge, you can directly contact the council mission area, this is their contact information...... Everyone waits until they get the invitation to the written test before setting off, don't let the operation of the branch and organization paralyze......" At this time, the voice of the "lark" was so beautiful in Blake's ears.
After suppressing his excitement and listening to the "World Real" channel, Blake waited anxiously for dawn, waiting for Alinge time to reach nine o'clock in the morning.
After the sun was shining, Blake hurried to the branch magic tower to prepare to use the electromagnetic communication device, and was surprised to see a long line.
"What a hot scene......"
Such a sight left an indelible impression on Blake, and he waited until the afternoon to get the right to use it.
Blake originally wanted to contact the person in charge of the mission area directly, but a dreamy figure suddenly appeared in his mind, so he changed the contact person in a ghostly manner.
"Hey, who?" A very ordinary female voice came.
Blake took a deep breath and said, "It's me, Blake. Ophelia, are you okay?"
"It's okay, is there anything?" Ophelia asked.
Blake pondered his tone and said, "Are you still in Perforth County? Does it only take two or three hours to get there to Alinge?"
"If you take the magic steam train, it only takes two hours and forty minutes, Blake, do you want me to help you fill out and submit your resume?" Ophelia's voice had a smile on her face.
Blake said in surprise: "How do you know?"
"Because I'm on the magic steam train to Alinge, also for the Atomic Research Institute." Ophelia laughed.
Blake scratched his head: "Then please help me together."
"Okay." After Ophelia replied, the two fell into a brief silence.
Then, Blake couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you worried about encountering that kind of thing again?"
Ophelia was born in a magical family and inherited a rich fortune, so she could use electromagnetic communication items as a second-ring magician, but such a net worth and such strength coupled with outstanding appearance made her the object of coveted by some middle and high-level magicians with bad conduct, but she had a strong personality, refused the exchange of those people, and returned to Peforth County, where her hometown is located.
Ophelia smiled and said: "If I encounter it, I will give up if it is a big deal, and I am not unable to experiment on my own after leaving the Atomic Research Institute, and Mr. Evans is an honest gentleman who has never had a scandal, I am very relieved of his character."
Listening to his crush's plain but firm words, Blake had a smile on his face, this was Ophelia, whom he had always liked. Every time he thought about it, her appearance was blurry, but those bright eyes with a smile but firm were extremely clear.
"I wish you success." Blake said sincerely.
Ophelia smiled and said, "I wish you success too."
…………
Inside the Atomic Research Institute, Lucian and several students were discussing some issues with superconductivity, and then saw Roque staggering in, his face pale, as if he was about to collapse.
"Mr. Roark, what's wrong?" Annick asked with concern.
Roque said sadly: "I'm dying, I'm in charge of reviewing my resume, written tests, interviews, and completing my own experiments and magic structures. Jerome, that bastard, knows how to steal time to go back to accompany Vera!"
"This is something you happily embraced, and you can't blame others." Lucian said gloatingly, then handed over the experiment arrangements to Katrina and Leilia, and crossed Roque and returned to the Magic Tower with ease, after all, some experiments were not suitable for doing in front of everyone at the Atomic Research Institute.
"Sir, today's "Holm Weekly"." As soon as Lucian greeted Pinocchio, Leo handed over the newspaper.
Lucian took a look, and the front page headline was "Her Majesty Appoints New Royal Archbishop".
Nodding slightly, Lucian was not surprised, this matter, Natasha had mentioned this matter to herself during the phone call the night before, she admired Richard's religious reform program, but thought that it should be cautious, it was something that would cause the church to go crazy.
"Tsald actually approved Natasha's request without hindrance, is his purpose really that simple?" Lucian took the newspaper and walked to the study.
At this time, Pinocchio said loudly: "Sir, there is a guest visiting, named Arthur Doyle."
Its sound echoed inside the tower.
What will happen?" Lucian asked Pinocchio to let Arthur in suspiciously, and then saw the round fat man approaching with a flattering face: "Lucian, here's an invitation. Duke James will have a party at his private estate tomorrow, I hope you can attend, and Her Majesty will also come to visit his estate then."
After the death of Prince Patrick, the fat man seemed to have lost his backbone, and he was anxious all day long, trying to get close to Duke James, but Natasha ascended the throne, especially after she celebrated Lucian's birthday, Arthur was rejuvenated and energetic, and walked with arrogance, but when he saw Lucian, he couldn't help but be half shorter.
Is this creating an opportunity for us to meet? Lucian's mood suddenly became very good, although he couldn't do much surrounded by nobles, but it was good just to meet.
So, Lucian nodded and agreed.
…………
The night was dark, in a private villa.
The Duke of York looked at Count Baladei and said with a gloomy face: "Her Majesty is going to visit James' estate tomorrow, how was what you said last time?"
"There should be hope." Count Baladei replied vaguely.
Send it at midnight, ask for a monthly pass~
