Chapter 160 You necromancers are not finished, right?
There was silence.
No one spoke in or outside the classroom. Except for the sound of heavy and rapid breathing, there was the sound of chair legs scraping against the floor. Gretel's seat was in the last row. At this moment, almost all the students turned back to look at him.
.
The dozen or so boys and girls standing at the door stretched their necks, held on to the shoulders of others, and crowded around to look at the last row of the classroom.
"Jury... Jury?" Behind Anthony, a brown-haired boy trembled and poked his back: "Anthony, are there any people in your family who are from the Jury?"
"My father's teacher is..."
Anthony's voice was also a little weak.
His father is a level 9 magician, who looks quite famous to outsiders. However, besides his father, the great magician also has more than a dozen disciples. He wants to rely solely on his connections to show his paper to the review committee——
Don't even think about it, it's impossible to even show it to the Archmage.
You know, the great magicians in the review committee are all assigned by various schools and large research groups. Most of the 13th and 14th level experts are the direct disciples of the legendary mages. No matter how low the level of the magician is, they do not have such authority.
, great magicians above level 15, and legendary mages find it too troublesome and are too lazy to attend the review meeting.
The work of the review committee is to review the Magic Council's budget for the year, pass or reject laws to be promulgated, respond to major emergencies, etc... What papers are qualified to be sent to them? What papers will work for them?
Group review?
Not to mention, I just passed the review meeting yesterday, and I am sure that I will be admitted to "Arcane" today...
What is "Arcane"?
The two top journals of the Magic Council, one is called "Magic" and the other is called "Arcane".
It represents the most high-end and cutting-edge research results of the Magic Council. Those who publish papers on it are generally archmages above level 15, or at worst, high-level mages who are level 13 or 14 and are about to reach the upgrade threshold.
Every mage tower will subscribe, and every magician who has requirements for himself will read it regularly. Of course, whether you can understand it or not is another matter. Gretel even remembered that he once saw the neatly built towers in the Temple of the God of War.
Qi's "Arcana" and "Magic".
In Grete's concept, these two journals are: the three top journals in natural sciences, "cell" ("cell"), "orgure" ("nature"), and "science" ("science").
In the medical field, "The Lancet" and "New England" should also be added.
In the early years, s was almost equivalent to locking in academicians.
"This is "Arcane"..."
The trainees in the training class hissed at the air-conditioning. They stretched out their fingers to touch the papers, trembling uncontrollably, half in awe and half in envy.
First author: Gret Nordmark.
On the cover of the paper, the neat handwritten name is clearly visible.
He is actually the first author. Not the second author, the third author, or even the co-first author. In other words, this paper was the idea of Grete alone, and he organized the experiment alone. He is well-deserved.
Knowledge is eternal, but power is instantaneous. In other words, the review committee's attention is only momentary, but after the paper is published in "Arcana", decades, a hundred, or a thousand years later, future generations of magicians will still pay attention to it.
If you can see this article, you can see Gretel Nordmark’s name!
The shock and envy of the classmates around him could not be concealed. Gretel estimated that when he was in college in his previous life, he probably had the same expression when he saw the classmates around him writing independent works, such as "S" or "The Lancet" or "New England"...
…
"Grete, this is your thesis, you come and speak it." Master Edgar admired the students' shocked expressions, and a rare smile appeared on his cold, thin face that was very characteristic of a necromancer.
. He took a step towards the side of the podium and motioned for Gretel to come up:
"No one knows your paper, your ideas, or your research methods better than you."
This... Gretel hesitated for a moment. Seeing that he didn't move, Master Edgar said "tsk" impatiently and pointed down. After handing out the paper, the dark gold skeleton ran down and stabbed Gray.
Grete grabbed the paper in front of Grete with one hand, bent down slightly, and made a "please" gesture with the other hand.
This skeleton is too flexible...is it from the same sect as Master Lin En? Really, Master, what is your relationship with Lin En?
Gretel tried not to glue his eyes to the skeleton. Don't stare at it, don't study whether its pelvis and skull are original, don't try to touch it... Hey, why is this skeleton dragging people around?
The chatting with the skeleton in class didn't look like it after all. Gretel had no choice but to follow the skeleton and step onto the podium. He first bowed lightly to Master Edgar and the assistant teacher, and then looked down.
The students nodded in greeting, cleared their throats, and began to state:
"His Excellency the Archmage, dear students, hello everyone. My paper is not very good, but it only involves the issue of diseases that magicians may contract during research. The Council cares about the health of magicians, so it pays special attention to it...
…”
The commotion in the classroom gradually subsided. The students exchanged looks with each other, and their feelings of envy and jealousy finally dissipated a little: it turned out that he just chose a good topic...
"Let's get to the point!" Archmage Edgar was impatient. The necromancer knocked on the skeleton next to him - the dark gold skeleton bent down considerately and sent the skull to the owner - saying "empty"
sound:
"At such a young age, I am very stable and have no energy at all!"
Uh... I'm used to it. Grete smiled sheepishly and opened the cover of the paper:
"This paper starts with cases among bat catchers, sellers and researchers, and through animal experiments, demonstrates the fact that contact with bats may transmit diseases, as well as the symptoms, transmission routes and prevention methods of the disease.
...The design idea of the animal experiment...The experiment shows that this new disease is indeed caused by infection from bats...
...Based on the current cases, it is inferred that the incubation period of the disease is 4-14 days, and the main route of transmission is droplet transmission. There are also cases of eating food contaminated by bat secretions and contracting the disease.
... Among the cases collected so far, 90% of the sick are ordinary people, 8% are mage apprentices and low-level warriors, and 2% are first-level mages. No cases of second-level, second-level and above mages and warriors have been found to be infected.
Signs. No evidence of human-to-human transmission has been found.
From this, it can be preliminarily inferred that as the level of extraordinary people increases and their life force becomes stronger, they can effectively reduce the possibility of getting sick..."
He explained the idea of the entire paper as concisely as possible. After finishing it once, his mouth was dry. With Master Edgar watching, the students below did not dare to make a noise. However, as soon as Grete finished speaking,
Three or five hands were raised:
“Why try it on animals?”
Well……
Gretel froze.
Should I say "because human experiments cannot be done", or should I say "because the microscope power is not high enough to isolate the virus?"
Nothing seems right...
This class made Grete sweaty. Even though it was inconvenient for him to talk about many things and he couldn't explain them, the ideas and logic of the paper itself, as well as the powerful aura of "Arcana", still conquered all the students. The course.
When it was over, no one was willing to leave. They all looked at Grete longingly, as if they were planning to ask Grete to revise their papers for them...
Fortunately, Archmage Edgar blasted away everyone. The students turned around and left. The classroom became quiet, and the decibel level dropped from 80 to below 40. Grete rubbed his buzzing ears,
Before he had time to rejoice, the archmage looked into his eyes and gave him a dry smile:
"No wonder Linn has written to recommend you several times. Your research ideas and topic selection are really in line with the Necromancy School. - Are you willing to join Black Crow Swamp?"
