Chapter 2: Plan to congratulate the Ninth League on riding a bull to the south)
——Thank you Niutou for becoming the alliance leader, and thank you for your continued support.
The next chapter is around eleven o'clock.

The spacious and bright light yellow carriage, the soft and clean brown-red seats, the transparent and crystal-clear magic glass, and the two beautiful girls wearing light blue long skirts in front of him all made Lucien feel good about the magic steam train.
"Welcome everyone to take the magic steam train 'Klaus'. This train will pass through seven stations and arrive at Allinge in three hours." The two girls bowed in unison with good etiquette, "Respect the guests, if
If you need anything, please press the magic button on the table."
As a guest, Lucien just smiled and let Lazar make arrangements.
Lazar took out his pocket watch from the lining pocket of his double-breasted black dress and checked the time: "It's one o'clock in the afternoon sharp, and we can arrive at the parliament headquarters before the staff rest. By the way, you haven't had lunch yet, have you? Magic
The steam train is equipped with chefs who are proficient in cuisine from all over the world. You're welcome. This trip will be paid for by the parliament. Of course, you will have to pay for it yourself in the future. The ticket fee is one gold thaler."
"One quintal?" Not only the apprentices, but also Lucien were a little surprised. A middle-income civilian only had seven or eight quintals a year, which was many times more expensive than flying in his previous life.
Seeing the expressions of all the "natives", Lazar couldn't help but smile and said: "In fact, the idea of the magic steam train was proposed by arcanists very early. They got inspiration from the devices in the mines. But it is completely made of magic circles.
Adding alchemical life drive will be very expensive in terms of materials and energy supply, and intermediate and above magicians can basically fly by themselves, so the magic steam train was sealed with a gorgeous but inapplicable sign until Mr. Klaus
This legendary magician of alchemy used magic and machinery to create a steam engine, which greatly reduced the cost of running trains."
"In this way, the magic steam train is not only several times faster than an intermediate magician flying by himself or relying on magic brooms and other items, but it can also carry nearly a hundred times more people and cargo than an airship, and the cost is lower, so
The planning of magic railway tracks and magic steam trains has been put back on the agenda by Parliament, and four lines have been laid so far, the one from Porto Padre to Allinge is the first one."
While introducing, Lazar asked Lucien and the apprentices to order food.
"Mr. Lazar, since the cost has been greatly reduced, why is the ticket so expensive?" Splinter asked curiously. Among the apprentices, he was the boldest and dared to ask questions.
Lazar and Lucien sat on the soft chairs on both sides of the table and pointed around: "You guys should sit down too, the train is about to start."
"The reason why it's so expensive is that the 'Klaus' is a luxury train that allows you to arrive in Arlinge quickly and at the same time enjoy the services of a high-end restaurant. If you use other magic trains, it will cost about thirty silver dollars.
Ticket fees. Of course, this is also very expensive. After all, the laying of other lines is borne by the parliamentary headquarters and the revenue from ticket fees. We dare not trust those greedy bankers in this matter."
After satisfying the curiosity of the apprentices, Lazar smiled and said to Lucien: "After this method of transportation is promoted, the cost should be reduced. Evans, the Magic Council is in a stage of rapid development. Various
There are endless whimsical ideas and incredible things. It can be said that you have arrived at the best time. Don’t let the opportunity pass you by. Change your thinking quickly, learn the arcane arts, and become a ‘real’ magician!”
Being assigned the task of welcoming magicians and apprentices, Lazar is undoubtedly a cheerful, kind and enthusiastic young man.
"Actually, I started learning the basics of arcane magic from Mr. Astar. Haha, I guided three apprentices while learning." Lucien placed the "Ambora Staff" and the Vigilance Sword next to his seat.
In the buckle for the magician.
After more than a month of study, Annick and Leylia have become official magic apprentices, and Heidi is almost there but almost there. This matter will be reported to the council as a half-completed task, so Lucien did not hide it.
.
Lazar nodded slightly: "This is excellent. I hope to see you obtain the official arcane level as soon as possible, Evans." Everyone tacitly omitted the mention of joining the Elemental Will Organization.
At this time, the whistle blew, the roaring sound was endless, and then the clanking sound of wheels and rails colliding began to sound.
"Wow, the magic steam train is really running." Splinter stood up and looked out the window, completely unable to believe that such a huge thing could move on its own.
Under his influence, even though he was as calm as Olmos, Annick couldn't help but look out the window and saw the platform retreating little by little.
Then they discussed it with surprise and excitement.
"Evans, you are very calm." Lazar saw Lucien pouring white water from the transparent kettle without paying any attention to the operation of the magic steam train, so he moved his golden eyebrows in admiration.
Of course, Lucien couldn't say that he had seen too much. He smiled softly and said: "Because I am more curious about the operating principle of the magic steam engine. Lazar, can I go and visit it?"
Lazar laughed loudly: "No, I can understand your curiosity Evans, but this is the research result of Lord Klaus. If you want to know and learn, you can only go to the parliament to exchange arcane points for relevant information.
"
The speed of the train is getting faster and faster, but the rumbling and clanking sounds gradually disappear, and it becomes unusually smooth and quiet.
"Is it the effect of the magic circle?" Lucien looked out the car window doubtfully and saw the desolate fields and the occasional country house flying back in November.
Just when Lucien was about to ask, from the other side of the carriage, two girls in light blue dresses walked in pushing a dining car, followed by several musicians holding violins.
Amidst the melodious music, the two girls placed steaks, grilled fish, caviar, pan-fried foie gras, etc. on their respective tables one by one.
Lucien laid out the napkin, picked up the knife and fork, and gently cut a piece of veal steak into his mouth. The juice filled his mouth with a strong aroma.
After the delicious food disappeared in his mouth, Lucien nodded to Lazar with satisfaction and said: "It is as good as a noble chef."
"Haha, actually I have always longed for the delicacies of the ancient Kingdom of Syracuse. Unfortunately, I have not yet become an intermediate magician, so it is difficult to fly across the Storm Strait on my own." Lazar cut the pan-fried foie gras on his plate, "Of course, Alto
I also appreciate the music of Evans. But you know, Evans, due to the blockade of the church, we tend to lag half a year to a year behind the Western Continent in terms of music and opera. Now Evans, uh, the one with the same name as you has just become popular.
The music of the great musician."
Lucien then discussed the special delicacies of various countries, which made Lazar's eyes light up, and he did not hesitate to introduce some things about the Magic Council headquarters.
"Lazar, what are the ways to obtain arcane points? I can't wait to have an official arcane level." Lucien asked what he was most concerned about.
Since he had just come into contact with arcana in the eyes of others, Lucien planned to concentrate on studying the knowledge of the Magic Council for a period of time, and then try to write a research paper after he had a systematic and current theory. However, Lazar's words could
I know there seem to be a lot of benefits to getting a formal arcane level, so I wanted to see if there was a less eye-catching way.
Moreover, over the past month or so, Lucien has used the "Brooke Meditation Method" to refine his soul and mental power, which have reached the minimum standard for advancement. In a few days, he will try to construct a second-ring magic in his soul to increase his magic level.
Therefore a quiet environment is needed.
Lazar wiped the corners of his mouth with a white napkin and said funnyly: "Evans, I heard an old proverb: The faster a person wants to go, the harder it is to reach his destination."
"However, the acquisition of arcane points is the most important thing for every magician. I can tell you about it first."
"The acquisition of arcane points can only be assessed by the Parliament's 'Arcane Review Committee'. It is an institution affiliated with the Supreme Council and is composed of fifty-two authorities from various magic factions. Each person's arcane level is at least six.
class."
"There are so few magicians with an arcane level above level six?" Lucien put down his knife and fork in surprise.
Lazar shook his head: "Authority, I'm talking about authority. Some arcanists have raised their arcane level by living long enough and slowly accumulating money. Some arcane masters, although their arcane level is high enough,
But in his field, there are at least five more gentlemen who are more authoritative than him and have higher arcane levels. Some have slightly lower arcane levels, but because they are pioneering new fields, the competition is small, and they have also become the review committee.
Of course, there are also many authoritative arcanists who like to study and explore quietly and do not like to do evaluations, so they have rejected their position as committee members."
"So that's it. But I heard from Mr. Astaire that arcane research results will also gain arcane points if they are cited?" Lucien continued to ask.
Lazar signaled the train waiter to take away the plates, etc., and then answered Lucien: "In order to prevent cheating, only papers that pass the evaluation of the 'Arcane Review Committee' can be published in various journals or magical ideas that enter the application field.
, only the cited results can obtain arcane points, one point is cited at a time, so it is equivalent to being reviewed."
"Creating or improving magic can only earn arcane points once, which is when it is evaluated by the committee. Unless your idea of improving or creating magic inspires a gentleman, and he writes a paper based on it and publishes it, you can
You will receive additional arcane point rewards. The rest of the time, if others want to learn the new magic you have made public, all they need to pay is arcane points, materials or money, such as the 'Lazar's Burning Hand' that I improved before.
Currently, I have been studied by thirty magicians, allowing me to obtain thirty arcane points."
"Haha, in fact, the gentlemen of the committee are busy with their own affairs. Low-level and intermediate-level arcana and magic are often left to their students or entrusted to the reviewing arcane masters of various journals to evaluate them, so from time to time
There were papers that failed to pass the review and were not awarded arcane points after they were published as discussion articles in the journal. Because they received widespread response and affirmation, the arcane points were added."
After a pause, Lazar pointed to Lucien with a smile: "Based on your arcane foundation, Evans, it is impossible to have any arcane and magic research results within one or two years, nor can you create and improve magic. I want to get it as quickly as possible." The only way to obtain arcane points is to submit unique magic from ancient inherited magic to the 'Arcane Review Committee'. If no one has submitted similar magic before, you will be rewarded with arcane points corresponding to different levels."
"This is the association's way of encouraging everyone to communicate and abandon conservative attitudes."
Lucien nodded slightly: "I understand." Unique or self-created, improved magic is often a magician's trump card. Without great benefits, no one is willing to submit and disclose it, but this hinders the magic. development, so the Magic Council tempted everyone with rewards of arcane points.
Do you want to submit it yourself? (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
