Chapter 197 The second round of rewards (two chapters in one including additional updates)

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

He held the collection of books given by Master Carlisle and huddled in the guest room, looking at them in a state of intoxication. If Master Carlisle had not left instructions in advance for students to come in and seize him for meals, 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 is just that Thunder Horn will suffer a big loss and Black Crow Swamp will make a lot of money. Therefore, even for its own interests, Thunder Horn must take good care of people.

, at least you can’t open the door one day and find that the person has died suddenly in the guest room. You have to go underground and call the Necromancy School for help...

Grete was busy reading a book, and the meeting of legendary mages was also continuing in the Tower of Babel. 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 master of the transformation department would speak first. The master of the transformation department gave a bitter smile, 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 Dikal followed and laughed. Although he could not make purple scale stones, he couldn't bear to imagine a group of transformation mages working overtime and sweating like rain, but still couldn't keep up with the shipment volume. They were both painful and happy.

He narrowed his eyes. 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 words 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, according to the usual practice, 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 come up with names is still so bad." Next to the white-robed mage, Helena complained coldly. "You've already gone so far with the name, why can't you call it [Hand of Dragon's Breath]?"

Being complained about by the lady, the white-robed mage was not angry at all. He just smiled and raised his hand to scratch his hair. His long blond hair fell down with his movements, and coupled with his gentle smile, at first glance, he looked like

It was a golden retriever with soft hair, squatting on the ground and wagging its tail.

Others were quite used 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. A group of legendary mages took photos of the secret spells one by one.

Mark, the agenda is over and move on to the next item:

"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. All of us here are legendary mages.

, even those who are not specialized in the plasticity school can see this:

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 for 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, first

Blow up the mage himself...

"This is a groundbreaking paper." As a leader in the Department of Plasticity, Deskard 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 system? - 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, but also as if she was supplementary. 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, causing Gretel to feel envious again.

A paper that is cited once is a research point. If there are 100 papers that pass parliamentary review or even appear in journals and add it 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 allowances, higher redemption rights, and even higher rights to apply for projects are all coming to Gretel.

wave.

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

all.

A magician once made statistics. The average number of citations for each paper published in various journals in the magic world is 0.5 times per year. The number of citations for papers like "Ordinary Arcanist Monthly" is approximately

It hovers between 5 and 7 times. Only two journals, "Arcane" and "Magic", have an average number of citations of more than 20 times, which is the highest among the others.

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? Deskard, 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?"

No one objected 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 guiding 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 flipping through the information in a hurry. 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-ring arcanist, second-level magician. Wearing this badge 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 the issuance of a larger amount of contribution points...

If spies from the Church of the Lord of Glory lurk in and see a magician like Gretel, they will definitely try their best to kill them. Even if they don't encounter the traitor, their own people may not be able to help but do something when they see Gretel like this.

ticket.

However, no issuance? Less issuance? Temporarily withholding? Impossible. The reason why the Magic Council has credibility is based on the fairness of handling things...

"Dekar, lock this kid up at the top of the mountain and don't let him wander around 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 big change guy rubbed his palms with excitement on his face. He can make something custom-made again! He can use the precious materials in the Magic Council's secret vault to make what he wants! He can also make a friend in the future.

Star, those things he threw out are so helpful to the change system!

Be sure to 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?" Gretel 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?" Archbishop Carlisle felt as if his veins were about to pop out of his head. He resisted the urge to rant and complained with a straight face:

"Can I get you some earrings?!"

"...Don't you want it?" Grete shuddered as he pictured himself wearing a pair of earrings, or a pair of earrings, dangling below his earlobes. "Uh... if you can, can you help me with my uncle?"

Is Nader’s bone rod repaired?”

"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!

In this way, Gretel was deprived of the right to make requests. Moreover, when he pulled his head out of the pile of books and asked to attend training classes and visit the treatment center, 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..."

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

From the beginning to now, Gretel has been using the basic meditation method on the first floor of the Mage Tower, which auditors can learn by themselves. There are indeed better versions in the Mage Tower, but those are modifications to the core of meditation. Gretel

In terms of self-feeling, he might as well construct his own based on medical reference books.

After arriving at the Magic Council headquarters, Gretel took the time to search through 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, but Gretel does not have them; the other four are

The seed was for the teachers of the academy, but Grete was not; so I had to give up with regret. As for the office of the parliament, that is, in the White Tower...

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

Yes, it is contribution points, not gold coins. Use contribution points to exchange for 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, 2

:1 can’t be redeemed either...

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

Meditation, a meditation method 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 the core competitiveness is in the hands of various university sects and master organizations. It will not be given to anyone who asks for it.

, the Magic Council will not give it even if it wants——

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 come in with a sharp head, 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 like Gretel, the boss will ask you by name.

Coming in...

Who dares to deduct?

Who dares?!

From the mentor, down to himself, the Thunder Horn, and even the big guys from other branches of the Evocation School, they are all thinking hard about how to get this kid to upgrade as soon as possible and have the power to protect himself as soon as possible...

Master Carlisle flicked his palm. With a clatter, 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:

"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!

——You have chosen it, and there are matching magic rituals and magic potions. Use several methods together to increase the level faster!"

Gretel: "..."

Just unwrap the scroll and read it. The words on the fur... I don't quite understand. I have to look it up in the dictionary later. Tell me how to read this magic crystal! It's still the same as the legendary jade slip.

Forehead, information is automatically instilled...

By the way, there are also potions!

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

"You don't want to take medicine yet? 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. The potion! What he drank in his mouth! This is not an energy potion. It is a popular product like a healing potion. It has been refined and certified for quality! A rare potion, who knows what it is.

Ingredients, what’s the origin!

What is pharmacology? What is its 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 hand of the person dispensing the medicine shake? Which material is added with 50% more?

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