Chapter 200 The Second Round of Rewards (Two Chapters in One Including Additional Updates)

Little did Gretel Trapped Nordmark know that a windfall was already on his way.

He was holding the collection of books given by Master Carlisle and huddled in the guest room, looking at them in ecstasy. If Master Carlisle hadn't left instructions in advance for the students to come in and grab him to eat three meals a day, Grete would have starved to death in the guest room.

Of course, if this happens, the Magic Council as a whole will not suffer much loss. It's nothing more than a big loss in Thunder Horn and a big profit in Black Crow Swamp. Therefore, even if it is for its own benefit, Thunder Horn has to take good care of the person. At least it cannot open the door one day and the person has suddenly died in the guest room, and has to go underground to call the Necromancy School for help...

Grete was busy reading a book, and in the Tower of Babel, the meeting of legendary mages was also continuing. The white-robed mage from the Conjuration Department waited for a moment, and when no one raised any objections, he concluded:

"Then it's settled. As usual, the new magic will be named [Nordmark's Burning Hand], and it will be added to the parliament's magic library and open for redemption? Do you need any special recommendations?"

"don't want!"

"don't want!"

Two voices expressed opposition at the same time. The two legendary mages looked at each other, and Master Dikal nodded slightly, indicating that the one from the transformation department would speak first. The master of the transformation department smiled bitterly, wiped his rough hands on the leather jacket, and then rubbed his nose:

"It's best not to hang it out right away. Purple scale stone - we can't do much with that thing for a while."

Master Deckard laughed. Although he couldn't make purple scale stones himself, he couldn't help but curl up his eyes when he imagined a group of mages from the transformation department, working overtime and sweating like rain, but still failing to keep up with the shipment volume, feeling pain and happiness at the same time. He nodded to the other party and turned to the white-robed mage:

"Gret Nordmark is only a level 2 magician."

"Oh, okay." The white-robed mage nodded. He changed his tune calmly:

"In view of the fact that the power and influence of this magic is too great and the level of the creator is too low, in order to protect the creator, as usual, its information will be kept secret for the time being. Then this magic will be named - [Improved Version of Burning Hands]? [ Burning Hand·Dragon Breath]?”

"Your ability to name names is still so bad." Next to the white-robed mage, Helena complained coldly. “You’ve gone so far as to name it, why can’t you call it [Dragon Breath Hand]?”

The white-robed mage was not angry at all when the lady complained about it. He just smiled and raised his hand to scratch his hair. The long blond hair fell down with his movements, and coupled with his gentle smile, at first glance, it looked like a soft-haired golden retriever, crouching down and wagging its tail.

Others are quite accustomed to their interactions. The old man from the Protection School lowered his head and brushed his writing. After writing down the name "Hand of Dragon's Breath" and the Magic Council's reward plan, he passed it to the right hand side. A group of legendary mages took photos of the secret marks one by one. This agenda ended and moved on to the next one:

"So...where's the paper?"

"paper……"

There was another moment of silence. If the value of [Hand of Dragon Breath] is 100 points and 500 contribution points, then the value of the paper that overturned [Phlogiston Theory] must be at least doubled. There are all legendary mages here, even those who are not specialized in the school of plasticity can tell:

Gretel Nordmark's paper, combined with the spell model of [Dragon's Breath Hand], has guiding significance for all fire magic.

In other words, as long as the position of the purple scale stone and the power of the spell are added to the spell structure of any magic - from the apprentice-level spark spell, to the third-level fireball spell, to the ninth-level meteor burst, It can be pushed to an incredible level.

Ahem, of course, it is not recommended to do this rashly with level 8 or 9 spells. Otherwise, it may cause a tragedy with a range of 100 meters and an explosion range of 200 meters. While killing the enemy, or even before killing the enemy, the mage himself will be killed first...

"This is a groundbreaking paper." As a leader in the plastic energy department, Dicard cleared his throat and was the first to speak. Mrs. Endor added coldly under the black veil: "Subversive."

Yes, yes, you said subversive is subversive. Who said you are from the prophecy department? - Deskard nodded in recognition. The white-robed mage from the Conjuration School said:

"The ideas pointed out in this paper may be applicable to all magic in the fire system."

"But follow-up evidence is needed." Helena interjected coolly, as if she agreed or added an explanation. The white-robed mage smiled at her again:

"Yes, the follow-up demonstration and research work is quite complicated. I have seen that the magazines in the next three months are full of papers studying this direction - as you can imagine, each article must contribute a citation. "

He tapped his fingertips on the paper in front of him, eliciting another wave of envy from Gretel.

A paper cited once is one research point. If there are 100 papers that have passed parliamentary review or even been published in journals and added to the citation list, it means that Grete does nothing and 100 research points will be recorded——

So many points are enough to push his arcane level from level 1 arcanist to level 3 in one go. More subsidies, higher redemption rights, and even higher rights to apply for projects are all beckoning to Grete.

Moreover, the guiding significance of this paper is for all fire magic.

all.

A magician once made statistics and found that the average number of citations for each paper published in various journals in the magic world was 0.5 times per year. The number of citations for a paper like "Common Arcanist Monthly" hovers between 5 and 7 times. Only two journals, "Arcane" and "Magic", have an average number of citations of more than 20, which ranks them among the best.

And Gretel's article...

What needs to be asked is not whether there will be 100 citations. What needs to be asked is, how long will it take to accumulate 100 citations?

Three months? Five months? Or half a year?

Obviously, the Magic Council's reward for this paper will never be less than half a year's worth of citation points.

"For the purpose of protecting the creator, we will not publish the name of the author of the paper for the time being - or let a legendary mage name it first? Descarte, will you go and communicate with the author?" The old magician of the protection faction slowly pondered:

"As for the specific reward, how about everyone write a number, remove the highest, remove the lowest, and take the average?"

There was no objection to this proposal. After a flurry of notes flying around, the reward for a paper on the nature of combustion also appeared in front of everyone:

300 research points, 1000 contribution points.

As soon as the scores came out, the legendary mages were speechless for a moment. For a groundbreaking, subversive, and instructive paper, this reward is not high, or even a little low. However--

"By the way, how many levels of arcanist is he now?"

Everyone started to look through the information in a noisy manner. The answer came out in a moment: "I had 45 research points before... plus the ones I just got today, a total of 445 points, four rings."

Fourth-level arcanist, second-level magician. Wearing this kind of badge on your body when you go out is equivalent to clearly saying "I am bad, but I am very important and have great potential." And most of them are very rich... After all, the issuance of research points is usually accompanied by more The issuance of a large number of contribution points...

If spies from the Lord of Radiance Church lurked in and saw a magician like Gretel, they would definitely find ways to kill them. Even if you don't encounter a traitor, your own people might be tempted to do something when they see Gretel like this.

But not sending it? Less hair? Temporary suspension? Impossible. The reason why the Magic Council has credibility is based on fairness in handling affairs...

"Dekar, lock this kid up at the top of the mountain and don't let him get away in the short term." The old magician rubbed his brows with a headache. He turned to all the legendary mages and looked around quickly:

"This year's Emerging Magician Award will be awarded to Gretel Nordmark? Does anyone have any objections? - None? Well, Winston, the magic equipment as the prize is up to you!"

"Leave it to me!" The transformation boss rubbed his palms with excitement on his face. It’s now customizable again! You can now use the precious materials in the Magic Council's secret vault to do what you want! You can also make friends with a future star. Those things he throws out are very helpful to the change system!

You must build a good relationship!

must!

That night, Grete received the news about the award and his inquiry about the equipment requirements.

"What kind of magic equipment do you want?" Grete thought hard:

"Uh... I don't want rings... I don't want bracelets, bracelets, watches... In short, I don't want anything on my hands or wrists. It's best not to wear necklaces... Why? It's inconvenient to enter the operating room!"

"Then what do you want?" Archmage Carlisle felt as if his veins were about to pop out of his forehead. He resisted the urge to rant and complained with a straight face:

"Can I get you some earrings?!"

"...Don't want it anymore?" Grete shuddered as he pictured himself wearing a pair of earrings, or an earring dangling below his earlobe. "Uh...if you can, could you help me fix Bernard's bone rod?"

"roll!!!"

The emerging magician is awarding an award, and I will give you a bone stick that is taller than a human head - oh, based on your height, it is almost 1.5 times as high as you are. Can you see the picture!

Grete was thus deprived of the right to make demands. Moreover, when he pulled his head out of the pile of books and asked to attend training classes and visit treatment centers, he was ruthlessly rejected:

"Stay well! Read books! Learn magic! When will I finish reading all these books and learn all level 0 and level 1 magic? When will I let you out! - By the way, there will also be your meditation method. !Which one are you using now?”

"Basic version..."

Grete spoke more quietly. To be honest, he almost forgot about changing the meditation method...

From the beginning until now, Gretel has been using the basic meditation method on the first floor of the Mage Tower, which is a basic meditation method that auditors can learn by themselves. There are indeed better versions in the Mage Tower, but those are modifications to the core of meditation. Gretel feels that it would be better for him to build his own version based on medical reference books.

After arriving at the Magic Council Headquarters, Gretel took time to explore the exchange centers in the academy and the White Tower. There are three meditation methods in the academy that can be redeemed for free, all of which require student status and student performance, which Grete does not have; the other four are for teachers in the academy, which Grete does not have; so I had to give up with regret. As for the offices of the Parliament, that is, at the White Tower...

There is no restriction on arcane level, no specialization school, no need to join any magic organization, it is directly open for redemption, the cheapest one, 1000 contribution points.

Yes, it's contribution points, not gold coins. Use contribution points to exchange gold coins, the Magic Council is open to exchange at a ratio of 1:1; use gold coins to exchange contribution points, sorry, the Magic Council will not exchange them, is it on the black market? Gretel secretly inquired about it, and it is not possible to exchange gold coins at a ratio of 2:1...

Grete touched the money bag on his body and saw that there were less than 200 gold coins in total. Goodbye.

"So now, I can learn a new meditation method? Will it be given to me for free? I have no money!"

Seeing Gretel's helpless look, Archmage Carlisle wanted to cover his forehead - or give him a brain-destroying blow. This is the benefit of joining a big organization! Did you just understand?

Meditation methods, meditation methods that can accelerate the growth of mental power and improve the efficiency of mental power utilization, this kind of thing that is directly equivalent to core competitiveness are in the hands of major universities and major mage organizations. Don’t give it to anyone who asks for it, even the Magic Council doesn’t give it to anyone who asks for it——

Papers can be published for free, spell models can be exchanged, the core meditation method, the most critical and highest-level magic ritual, NEVER!

If you are a low-level magician who has sharpened his head and got in, you must work hard to please your mentor and contribute to the organization. You hope that your mentor will like you and give you a good meditation method. But people like Grete, who were brought in by name by the boss...

Who dares to deduct?

Who dares? !

From his mentor to himself, as well as the big bosses from Thunder Horn and other branches of the Evocation School, they are all thinking hard about how to get this kid to level up as soon as possible and have the power to protect himself as soon as possible...

Archmage Carlisle flicked his palm. With a crash, three scrolls, two magic crystals, and a piece of golden fur covered with writing fell down one after another. He pointed at the pile of things casually:

"No money! If you join the Thunder Horn, the meditation method will definitely be given to you! Take a good look at it yourself and choose the one that suits you. If you don't understand, ask me!

——I picked it, and there are matching magic rituals and magic potions. Use several methods together to level up faster! "

Gretel: "..."

Just unroll the scroll and read it. The words on the fur... I don't really recognize them. Do I have to look them up in a dictionary later? Tell me how to read this magic crystal! It's still like the legendary jade slip, stick it on your forehead, and the information will be automatically instilled...

By the way, there are also potions!

"Um...which meditation method doesn't require potions?"

"You still don't want to take medicine? Do you think it's easy to find a potion that permanently enhances mental power?"

Gretel stared at him warily, determined not to give in. Potion! What goes into your mouth! This is not a popular product like energy potion or healing potion, it has been refined and certified for quality! A rare potion, who knows what its ingredients are and where it comes from!

What is pharmacology? What is the target?

Is there any human toxicity? What are the adverse reactions and are there any contraindications? What are the pharmacokinetics like, how long does it take for the blood concentration to reach the peak, and how is it metabolized?

Has it been tested on animals and passed Phase III clinical trials? Is it certified by the Food and Drug Administration... No, is it certified by a specialized agency of the Magic Council?

Has the shelf life expired?

Is the quality reliable? Will the person dispensing the medicine have trembling hands? Which material has 50% more added?

Do not drink medicines without provenance or quality assurance unless absolutely necessary!
