——I finally finished it before twelve o'clock. This chapter is the second chapter added to last month's new book. I am debt-free and light-hearted.
Also, I haven’t left my house for three days to catch up on my writing, and then I remembered that today is the Zongzi Festival. I almost couldn’t say Happy Dragon Boat Festival to everyone, because I haven’t even eaten the Zongzi yet.
It's very late. The chapter will be updated tomorrow morning at 12 noon. It will be the same as usual in the evening. It will be normal after that.
Happy Zongzi Festival everyone!

Lazar originally thought that he had been surprised and shocked many times today, and that he should be numb and no longer affected by similar emotions. But after hearing Eric's words, he couldn't help but look at Lucien and said: "
Lucien, you are really a monster. Most arcane masters below the intermediate level have never received a letter of invitation from a journal. Our arcane points come from the rewards of the review committee, and then we rely on being rejected again and again.
Occasionally, I will be published in a few articles and then slowly gain points and be promoted, but often I will not be able to obtain seven arcane points for several years."
"It has been four years since I graduated from magic school. I have written more than a dozen arcane research papers. Only three of them passed the review and one was included. It was also in the "Arcane Research Journal" and it was the last one in that issue.
Part 2. In my impression, the only people who received invitation letters before the Tripolar Arcanist were those geniuses with great reputations, such as Mr. Ulysses and Mr. Felipe."
His sad, angry and self-deprecating mood was not excessive, similar to a half-joking attitude. At least in terms of enthusiasm and kindness in dealing with others, Lucien felt that he was much better than Felipe.
Eric moved his mouth and wanted to say that he had never seen the invitation letter, but he couldn't say it. It took him twenty years to get one hundred arcane points to become a three-pole arcanist.
Finally, he sighed: "'Pioneering', if you can have the word 'pioneering' in the evaluation, no wonder there are journals directly requesting manuscripts. Although Evans, your new magic principle seems to have a narrow scope of application, this evaluation is received every year
There are definitely no more than ten articles written by high-level arcanists, excluding the Grand Arcanist."
"Pioneering? I understand." Lucien probably understood the importance of this word in papers and new magic evaluations.
Lazar put away his shocked expression, smiled and counted with his fingers excitedly: "Pioneering, breakthrough, extremely important, popular, and extremely exploratory. These five are the highest evaluations of the paper by the gentlemen of the committee.
Adjective. Of course, if your paper is evaluated as having the ability to change the times, then congratulations, Grand Arcanist Evans!"
Just as Lucien took the document from Eric, the jingling bell rang again in the office, and the milky white light covered the iron cage again.
Eric's face became serious and he thought to himself: "Is there something important in the parliament?" There was less than a minute left before six o'clock.
The light slowly calmed down, and a document appeared in the iron cage. Eric picked it up steadily and quickly to read, and then his expression was full of helplessness:
"Evans, a letter of invitation from the "Sonic" journal. They promised to place the first fifteen articles in the journal and recommend it to three abstract index journals."
He and Lazar have become numb to this. As long as it is not an invitation letter for "Arcana" and "Magic", it is "nothing".
"There are actually two good journals that will send out invitation letters at the same time." Lazar chuckled and sighed, "Lucien, which one are you going to choose? I think the journal "Sound Wave" is more professional in this field and will get more citations.
There will be more, and the conditions they offer are better than those of Ordinary Arcanist Monthly. Of course, with the evaluation of 'groundbreaking', those three abstract index journals will be included even if they are not recommended."
There are nearly forty journals every month, and a large part of them are repeated research, so no arcanist is in the mood to read them all. At this time, the importance of abstract index journals is reflected.
"It's better to choose "Ordinary Arcanist Monthly". At least they sent me a letter of invitation as soon as possible. It's obvious that they value me. Since the conditions are similar, let's go on a first-come, first-served basis." Lucien said with a smile.
Make decisions based on the simplest principles.
Lazar disagreed a little: "I think..."
Ding ding ding, there was a sharp sound three times. Eric's face changed slightly, and he looked at the unactivated arcane badge in his hand: "Evans, it's six o'clock, I'm afraid you have to come tomorrow to activate it."
"Ah, Mr. Eric, is there no other way? I also want to go to the 'Ordinary Arcane Library' and the 'Magic Exchange Room' to have a look." Lucien said to Eric with a little eagerness.
Eric shook his head: "Prosper and other alchemical beings always stop doing things on time, and will never work for one more minute unless requested by their master. And even if it is activated now, you can't enter Evans.
The Ordinary Arcane Library' and the 'Magic Exchange Room' will also close at six o'clock. You'd better come tomorrow morning, anyway, the evaluation results of the review committee, arcane points, and arcane points will not disappear."
"When you activate the Arcane Badge and reply to the invitation letter, it is best to follow the advice of the gentlemen of the committee and add a letter after your name, otherwise it will be easy to confuse the reference points. As for normal times, there is no need to bother."
Lazar also echoed: "The alchemy life in the parliament headquarters is very lazy." As he said this, he looked at the light on the wall, worried about being retaliated by Prospell, "Of course, they are also very diligent when they are busy. Evans,
Let’s go have dinner outside. If we can’t leave the parliament headquarters before six-thirty, we can only rent a meditation room on the second to ninth floors to rest.”
"Okay. Then Mr. Eric, let's say goodbye first." Lucien took back the unactivated arcane badge and put it on his body.
…………
In the lobby of the "Magician Management Department", Cindy and Donna were packing up their magic notebooks and other items to leave. When they saw the two coming out, they laughed at the same time: "Congratulations Evans... uh, Mr. Evans, your arcane badge.
Not excited yet..."
They hurriedly covered their mouths with their little hands, how could they mention anything that was not good?
"Haha, sweetie Cindy, sweetie Donna, things are not what you think." Lazar, who felt that he had unique 'news', couldn't help but show off to the two girls, "Our dear Mr. Evans is
The first person to pass the arcane research paper review on the day he joined the Magic Council, the first person to receive a 'groundbreaking' evaluation for his first published paper, and the first person to have his first paper published by two journals.
The person who sent the invitation letter to compete..."
"Wow." "Wow." "Wow." Every time he said something, Cindy and Donna sighed with emotion.
As high-level magic apprentices, Cindy and Donna have a deep understanding of how rare Lazar's description is. When he finished talking about the first of many, they looked at Lucien with bright eyes: "Mr. Evans,
Congratulations on being included in 'Cindy's History' ('Donna's History'), I hope to see your article in the "Common Arcanist Monthly" soon."
Then Cindy chuckled and said: "Mr. Evans, don't forget us when you become an intermediate magician. We are still waiting to become your apprentice." When she said this, she lost the sense of joking.
However, Lucien has not yet passed the basic arcane examination, so it is difficult to say how the arcane and magic paths will develop in the future.
"Mr. Evans, don't you invite us to celebrate?" Donna seized the opportunity to get acquainted with Lucien.
He is good-looking, very young, officially a magician, and has a high evaluation in arcane research papers. He is gentle, elegant, calm and mysterious. Even if Donna is not attracted to such a man, as a magic apprentice, it is normal to get acquainted with him, maybe.
From now on it will be important personal connections.
Lucien smiled and said: "If you two ladies don't mind, I would like to invite you to have dinner with me and Lazar." It is always a good thing to have more familiar people in Arlinge.
"Then you're welcome. By the way, Mr. Evans, since your thesis and new magic have passed the review and you have obtained a total of seven arcane points, why haven't you activated the arcane badge yet?" Cindy did not refuse.
Sean's invitation.
Lazar spread his hands and smiled brightly: "Because Mr. Eric was so shocked that he forgot to activate it. Hey, by the time he remembered, it was already six o'clock."
"Haha. Mr. Eric? It's hard to imagine the shocked expression on Mr. Eric's face..." The two girls laughed softly.
While waiting for the two ladies to pack their belongings, Lazar turned his head and stared at Lucien, with a serious expression on his face and said: "Lucien, do you know which of the evaluations you have received, which one I am most jealous of?"
"Pioneering?" Lucien asked doubtfully.
Lazar shook his head and looked a little sad: "No, it's the 'real arcanist thinking mode'. Among the papers that I failed to pass the review, the most common words were 'problems with the way of thinking' and 'poor rigor'
,'not a qualified arcane treatise', etc."
"Thinking more and reading more can change the way you think. If I have time, I can help Lazar pre-review your paper." Lucien comforted Lazar.
Lazar immediately returned to his sunny smile: "Thank you in advance, Lucien. But don't worry, I may not be able to produce research results and papers in two or three months."
"By the way, Lucien, the apprenticeship assessment is over tomorrow. Even if your guidance task is half completed, you need to think about the rest of your life. Haha, think carefully about what you are going to do tonight. When I accompany you to hand in the task tomorrow
I’ll help you refer to it again.”
Lucien nodded. The most important thing for him next is to advance, study and research. When the basics are made up, it will be time to shine.
…………
After the four of them enjoyed Holm Kingdom's specialty grilled fish and chips, Lucien checked into a hotel introduced by Lazar.
Its peaceful environment and fresh air gave Lucien a good night's sleep.
Early the next morning, Lazar came to the hotel and went to the Apprentice Assessment Department with Lucien.
"Mr. Evans, you're really here!" As soon as they entered the third area, the happy voices of Heidi and Leylia came over. They held books in their hands and looked at Lucien with a little excitement. They seemed to be in the dark before.
Take the time to consolidate the meaning of structural graphics.
Annick, who was with them, also scratched his fluffy yellow hair, with a delighted smile on his face: "Mr. Evans, good morning."
"Good morning. Just treat the assessment as a daily practice." Lucien said this, wanting to tease the children, and continued: "Don't you think the usual practice is too little and too simple?"
"No, no." The three apprentices shook their heads subconsciously, and their expressions instantly turned a little worse.
At this time, Simeon walked out of the office and clapped his hands: "Apprentices, come to the assessment room to accept the assessment."
Splinter, who proudly watched Annick and the others interact with Lucien, put his hands in his pockets and walked towards the assessment room. When passing Annick and the others, he whispered: "I really want to see what you have done after receiving the guidance.
What kind of level, practicing like that, practicing again and again may be necessary for magic, but it is not suitable for learning arcana."
Katrina on the side stared at Splinter and said with a serious expression: "I will defeat you this time!" (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
