Chapter 2: Plan to congratulate the Ninth League on riding a bull to the south)

——Thank you Niu Tou for becoming the leader of the alliance, and thank you for your continued support.

The next chapter is around eleven o'clock.

………………………………………………………………………………

The spacious and bright light yellow carriage, soft and clean brown-red seats, transparent and crystal magic glass, and the two beautiful girls in light blue dresses in front of them all make Lucien feel good about the magic steam train.

"Everyone is welcome to take the magic steam train of the 'Klaus'. This train will pass through seven stops and arrive in Arlinge in three hours." The two girls bowed in unison with good manners, "Dear guests, if you have any needs, please press the magic button on the table."

As a guest, Lucien just smiled and asked Lazar to make arrangements.

Lazar took out his pocket watch from his double-breasted black long dress and looked at the time: "It's almost 1:00 p.m. Now, you can arrive before the rest of the parliamentary headquarters. By the way, you haven't had lunch yet? The magic steam train is equipped with chefs who are proficient in dishes from various countries. You have to be welcome. This trip will be paid by the parliament. Of course, you will have to pay for it yourself in the future. The ticket fee is a kintal."

"One Jintale?" Not only the apprentices, but even Lucien was a little surprised. A middle-income civilian only had seven or eight Jintale a year, which was many times more expensive than taking a plane in his previous life.

Seeing the expressions of a group of "country bulls", Lazar couldn't help but smile and said, "In fact, the concept of the magic steam train was proposed by arcaneists very early. They were inspired by the equipment on the mine. It can be driven entirely by magic circles and alchemy life. It will be very expensive in terms of material and energy provision. Magicians above the middle level can basically fly by themselves, so the magic steam train was sealed with a gorgeous but inappropriate logo. It was not until the legendary alchemy magician Klaus, who used magic to combine machinery to create a steam engine, which greatly reduced the cost of the train's operation."

"In this way, the magic steam train is not only several times faster than that of the intermediate magician himself or relying on items such as magic brooms, but also nearly a hundred times more people and cargoes than airships, and the cost is lower. Therefore, the planning of magic rails and magic steam trains has been put on the agenda by the parliament. Four lines have been laid, and this one from Port Padre to Alyn's is the original one."

While introducing, Lazar asked Lucien and his apprentices to order food.

"Mr. Lazar, since the cost has been greatly reduced, why is the ticket fee so expensive?" Sprint asked curiously. Among the apprentices, he was the most brave and dared to ask questions.

Lazar and Lucien sat on the soft chairs on both sides of the table and pointed around: "You can sit down too, the train is about to start."

"The reason why it is so expensive is that the 'Klaus' is a luxury train, which allows you to arrive in Arlinga quickly and enjoy the service of a fine restaurant. If other magic trains are about thirty silvers, the ticket fee is about thirty silvers. Of course, this is also very expensive, after all, the laying of other routes is shared by the appropriation of the parliamentary headquarters and the ticket fee income. We dare not trust those greedy bankers in this kind of matter."

After satisfying the curiosity of the apprentices, Lazar smiled and said to Lucien: "After this mode of transportation is promoted, the cost should be reduced. Evans, the Magical Council is in a stage of rapid development, with all kinds of wonderful ideas and incredible things emerging one after another. It can be said that you are coming in the best era. Don't let down the opportunity, hurry up and change your thinking, learn arcane, and become a 'real' magician!"

To be assigned to the mission of embracing magicians and apprentices, Lazar is undoubtedly a cheerful, kind and enthusiastic young man.

"In fact, I started to learn the basics of arcane from Mr. Astal, haha, while studying, guided the three apprentices." Lucien placed the "Ambora Staff" and the long sword of alert next to the seat in a buckle specially prepared for the magician.

During more than a month of study, Annick and Reyriya have become formal magic apprentices, and Heidi is almost but soon. This matter and so on will be reported to the parliament as half-finished tasks, so Lucien did not hide it.

Lazal nodded slightly: "This is excellent. I hope you can see Evans as soon as possible and you will get the official arcane level." Everyone tacitly omitted the words of adding the Elemental Will Organization.

At this time, the whistle was roaring, and the sound of roaring sounds began to sound, and then the clanging sound of wheels and rails colliding began to sound.

"Wow, the magic steam train is really running." Sprint half-up and looked out the window. He couldn't believe that such a giant could actually act on his own.

Influenced by him, even as calm as Olmos, Annick couldn't help looking out of the window and saw the platform retreating slightly.

Then they started to discuss in surprise and excitement.

"Evans, you can calm down." Lazar saw Lucien pouring white water out of the transparent kettle and didn't care about the operation of the magic steam train at all, so he moved his golden eyebrows with a little praise.

Of course, Lucien couldn't say that he had seen him for too long, and chuckled: "Because I'm more curious about the operating principle of the magic steam engine, Lazar, can I go and visit it?"

Lazar laughed: "No, I can understand Evans's curiosity, but this is the research result of His Excellency Klaus. If you want to know and learn, you can only go to the parliament to exchange for relevant information with arcane points."

The train was getting faster and faster, but the rumbling and clanging sound gradually disappeared, and it was extremely stable and quiet.

"Is it the effect of the magic circle?" Lucien looked out the car window in confusion, and saw the desolate fields in November and the occasional rural cottage flying backwards.

Just as Lucien was about to ask, on the other side of the carriage, two girls in light blue long skirts walked in with food trucks, and behind them were several musicians holding violins.

In the melodious music, the two girls put steak, grilled fish, caviar, pan-fried foie gras, etc. on their respective tables one by one.

Lucien laid out a napkin, picked up a knife and fork and gently cut a piece of steak into his mouth, with the juice in his mouth full of strong fragrance.

After the delicious food disappeared into his mouth, Lucien nodded to Lazar with satisfaction, "There is the standard of a noble chef."

"Haha, actually, I have always longed for the food of the Syracuse Kingdom. Unfortunately, I haven't become a mid-level magician yet, and it's hard to fly across the Storm." Lazar cut the pancake foie gras from his plate. "Of course, I admire Alto's music too. But Evans, you know, due to the church blockade, we often delay half a year to a year from the Western Continent, both music and opera, and now we have just become popular with Evans, uh, the music of the great musician with the same name and surname as you."

Lucien then discussed the special foods of various countries, listened to Lazar's eloquence and introduced some things about the headquarters of the Magic Parliament.

"Lazar, what are the ways to get arcane points? I can't wait to have a formal arcane level." Lucien asked about the most concerned things.

Since in the eyes of others, he was just about to get involved in arcane, Lucien planned to concentrate on learning the knowledge in the Magic Parliament for a period of time, and then try to write a research paper after having a systematic current theory. However, from Lazar's words, we can know that it seems that there are many benefits to obtaining the formal arcane level, so I want to see if there are any more inconspicuous ways.

Moreover, in the past month, Lucien used the Brook Meditation Method to temper his soul and mental power, and his soul and mental power have reached the minimum standard of advanced development. Within a few days, he will try to construct second-ring magic in the soul to improve the magic level, so a quiet environment is needed.

Lazar wiped the corner of his mouth with a clean white napkin and said hilariously: "Evens, I have heard an old saying: The faster people want to go, the harder they will get to their destination."

"However, the acquisition of arcane points is the most important thing for every magician, and I can tell you first."

"The acquisition of arcane points can only be evaluated by the parliament's 'Archive Review Committee'. It is an institution affiliated to the highest rating group, composed of fifty-two authorities from each magic faction, and each person's arcane level is at least six."

"There are so few magicians with arcane level above level 6?" Lucien put down his knife and fork in surprise.

Lazar shook his head: "Authoritarian, I mean authority. Some arcanes have lived long enough and accumulated slowly to improve their arcane level. Some, although the arcane level is high enough, there are at least five more men in his field who are more authoritative and have higher arcane levels than him. Some are slightly lower in the arcane level, but because they are in pioneering new fields, they have little competition and have also become members of the audit committee. Of course, there are also many authoritative arcanes who like to study and explore quietly, do not like to do evaluations, and turn off the position of the committee themselves."

"So that's the case. But I heard from Mr. Astal that arcane research results will also be cited by others?" Lucien continued to ask.

Lazar signaled the train waiter to take away the plate and then answered Lucien: "In order to prevent cheating, only by passing the assessment of the 'Archive Review Committee' can publish papers in various journals or enter the application field, and the results of their citations can be obtained by citing arcane points, one point at a time, so it is equivalent to also undergoing review."

"If you create or improve magic, you can only get an arcane point once. That time the committee evaluates. Unless you improve or create magic ideas, the idea of ​​inspiration from a gentleman, who writes it into a paper and publishes it, you will get an additional arcane point reward. In the rest of the time, if others want to learn new magic that you have made public, all they need to pay is arcane points, materials or money, etc. For example, the "Lazar's Burning Hand" I improved before has been learned by thirty magicians, which have given me thirty arcane points."

"Haha, in fact, the gentlemen on the committee are busy with their own affairs. Low-level and intermediate-level arcane and magic are often handed over to their students or entrusted to the audited arcaneists of various journals for evaluation. Therefore, from time to time, papers that cannot pass the audit and cannot obtain arcane points are published as discussion articles in the journal. After receiving extensive responses and affirmations, they are only able to make up for arcane points."

After a pause, Lazal smiled and pointed at Lucien: "Using Evans's arcane foundation, it is impossible to have any arcane and magic research results in one or two years, nor can it create and improve magic. If you want to get arcane points as soon as possible, the only way is to submit the unique magic in ancient inherited magic to the "Armor Review Committee". If no one submitted similar ones before, you can get arcane points rewards corresponding to different levels."

"This is a means by which the association encourages everyone to communicate and give up conservative attitude."

Lucien nodded slightly: "I understand." Magic that is unique or created by himself is often the trump card of a magician. There is no great benefit, no one is willing to submit or disclose it. However, this hinders the development of magic, so the Magic Council uses the reward of arcane points to tempt everyone.

Do you want to submit it yourself? (To be continued. Please search for Piaotianwen, novels are better, updated and faster!)
