Chapter 200 Rewards Second Bulletin
Unbeknownst to Gretel Stuck in the Books Nordmark, his windfall is already on the way.

Holding the collection of books given by Master Carlyle, he huddled in the guest room, reading it like a fascination.If Master Carlisle hadn't left an order in advance to let the students come in and grab him to eat according to three meals, Gretel would have starved himself to death in the guest room.

Of course, if such a thing really happened, the Magic Council as a whole would not suffer much loss.It's nothing more than Thunder Horn's big loss and Black Crow Swamp's big profit.Therefore, even if the Horn of Thunder is for its own benefit, it has to take good care of people, at least not one day when the door is opened, people have died suddenly in the guest room, and they have to go underground to call the Necromancer School for help...

Gretel was busy reading, and in the Babel Tower, the meeting of the legendary mages continued.The white-robed mage of the conjuration department waited for a while, and when no one raised any objections, he concluded:

"That's it. According to the usual practice, the new magic is named [Nordmark's Burning Hand], and it will be added to the parliament's magic library and open for exchange? Do you need a special recommendation?"

"do not want!"

"do not want!"

Two voices expressed their disapproval at the same time.The two legendary mages glanced at each other, and Master Dikal nodded slightly, indicating that the one from the transformation department would speak first.And the master of the transformation department gave a wry smile, wiped his rough big hands on the leather jacket, and rubbed his nose again:

"It's best not to hang it up right away. Purple scale stone—that thing will last for a while, and we can't make much of it."

Master Dikal laughed.Although he doesn't know how to make purple scale stones himself, he can't help but roll his eyes when he imagines a group of mages in the transformation department sweating and working overtime, but still can't keep up with the shipments.He nodded to the other party and turned to the white robe mage:
"Great Nordmark is only a level 2 magician."

"Oh, yes." The white-robed mage nodded.He changed his words graciously:

"Due to the excessive power and influence of this magic, and the low level of the creator, in order to protect the creator, according to the usual practice, its information is temporarily kept secret. Then this magic is named—[Improved version of Burning Hand]?【 Burning Hand·Dragon's Breath]?"

"Your ability to name is still so poor." Beside the white-robed mage, Helena grumbled coldly. "Having brought the name up to this point, can't you call it [Dragon's Breath Hand]?"

Being complained by the lady, the white-robed mage was not angry at all, but just smiled and raised his hand to scratch his hair.The long blond hair fell down with his movements, and combined with his warm smile, at first glance, it looked like a golden hair with soft hair, squatting and wagging its tail.

Others are quite accustomed to their interaction.The old man of the Protection School lowered his head and brushed his writing, wrote down the name [Dragon's Breath Hand] and the reward plan of the Magic Council, and passed it to the right.A group of legendary mages took pictures of the arcane imprint one by one, this agenda is over, and the next one is on:
"So... what about the paper?"

"paper……"

There was another silence.If the value of [Dragon's Breath Hand] is 100 points and 500 contribution points, then the value of the paper that overturned the [Phlogiston Theory] must be at least doubled.All of you here are legendary mages, even if you don't specialize in the evocation school, you can tell:
Gretel Nordmark's thesis, combined with the [Dragon's Breath Hand] spell model, 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 spell—from apprentice-level sparks, to third-level fireballs, to ninth-level meteor bursts, It can be pushed to an incredible level.

Ahem, of course, it is not recommended to do this rashly for 8th-level and 9th-level spells.Otherwise, it may cause a tragedy with a range of 100 meters and an explosion range of 200 meters. While killing the enemy, even before killing the enemy, the mage himself will be killed first...

"This is a groundbreaking paper." As a leader of the Evocation Department, Dekar cleared his throat and was the first to speak.Madam Endor added coldly under the black veil: "Subversive."

Yes, yes, you said that subversive is subversive, who told you that you are from the Department of prophecy——Dikar nodded in recognition.The white-robed mage of the conjuration school said:
"The idea pointed out in this paper may be applicable to all magic of the fire department."

"But follow-up arguments are needed." Helena interrupted coldly, as if agreeing, but also as if adding explanations.The white-robed mage smiled at her again:

"Yes, the follow-up demonstration and research work is quite complicated. I have seen that the journals in the next three months are full of papers researching this direction-it is conceivable that each paper must contribute a citation. "

He tapped his fingertips on the paper in front of him, which aroused Gretel's envy again.

A paper, cited once, is a research credit.If there are 100 papers that pass the review of the parliament and even get published in journals, add it to the citation list, which means that Gretel does nothing, and 100 research points will be credited——

With so many points, it was enough to push his arcane level from level 1 Arcanist to level 3 in one go.More allowances, higher exchange authority, and even higher authority to apply for projects are beckoning to Gretel.

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

all.

A magician once made statistics, and the papers published in various journals in the magic world have an average of 0.5 citations per year.The number of citations of papers like "Common Arcanist Monthly" hovers between 5 and 7 times.Only the two journals "Arcane" and "Magic" can achieve an average of more than 20 citations, which is the best among them.

And this one from Gretel...

What needs to be asked is 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?

And obviously, the reward given to this paper by the Magic Council can never be less than half a year's 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? Dekar, are you going to communicate with the author?" The old magician of the protection faction pondered slowly:

"As for the specific reward, in this way, everyone writes a number, removes the highest, removes the lowest, and takes the average?"

No one objected to this proposal.After a burst of paper notes flying around, the reward for the 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 instructive paper, this reward is not high, even a little low.However--

"By the way, how many rings is he now an Arcanist?"

Everyone clamored and started to look through the documents.The answer came out after a while: "I had 45 research points before... plus the one I just got today, a total of 445 points, four rings."

Arcanist with four rings, second-level magician.Hanging this kind of badge on your body and walking out is equivalent to saying "I'm good, but I'm very important and have great potential." And most of them are very rich... After all, the issuance of research points is usually accompanied by more research points. The distribution of a large number of contribution points...

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

But not?Hair less?Temporary withholding?Impossible, the reason why the Magic Council has credibility is based on the fairness of handling things...

"Dikar, lock this kid up at the peak, and don't let him wander off in a short period of time." The old magician rubbed the space between his brows with a headache.He turned to all the legendary mages, looking 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 a prize is up to you!"

"Leave it to me!" The master of the transformation department rubbed his palms with excitement.It can be customized again!I can take the precious materials in the secret vault of the Magic Council again and make what I want!You can also make friends with a future star. The things he throws out are so helpful to the transformation system!
Be sure to build a good relationship!

for sure!
That night, Gretel received news that the award had been decided, and his inquiry about the equipment requirements.

"What kind of magic equipment do you want?" Gretel thought hard:
"Uh... no rings... no bracelets, bracelets, watches... in short, don't wear anything on your hands or wrists, and it's best not to have necklaces... why? It's inconvenient to enter the operating room!"

"Then what do you want?" Archmage Carlisle felt like his veins were about to pop out of his forehead.He resisted the urge to spout wildly, and complained with a straight face:

"Can I get you an earring?!"

"...Don't you want it?" Gretel thought about the picture of himself wearing a pair of earrings, or a dangling under the earlobe, and shuddered. "Uh... if you can, can you fix Bernard's bone rod for me?"

"roll!!!"

The cutting-edge magician will give you an award, and I will give you a bone stick that is taller than a human head—oh, in terms of your height, it is almost 1.5 times your height. Can you see the picture!
Gretel was thus deprived of the right to demand.Moreover, when he pulled his head out of the pile of books and asked to go to the training class to attend lectures and go to the treatment center for outpatient visits, he was also ruthlessly rejected:
"You stay here! Read books! Learn magic! When will you finish reading all these books and learn all the magic of level 0 and level 1? When will I let you out again! - By the way, and your meditation method ! Which one are you using now?"

"Basic version..."

Gretel said more and more quietly.To be honest, he almost forgot about changing the way of meditation...

From the beginning to the present, Gretel has been using the basic meditation method on the first floor of the mage tower, where auditors can learn by themselves.There are indeed better versions in the mage's tower, but those are all modifications aimed at the core of meditation. Gretel feels that it is better for him to build it himself according to medical reference books.

After arriving at the headquarters of the Magic Council, Gretel took the time to search both the academy and the exchange center of the White Tower.There are three kinds of meditation methods in the college that can be exchanged for free, all of which require student status and student grades, which Gretel does not have; the other four are for college teachers, but Gretel is not; it is a pity that they give up.As for the office of the parliament, that is, the White Tower...

There is no limit to arcane levels, no specialization schools, no need to join any magic organization, and the cheapest one that is directly open to exchange, 1000 contribution points.

Yes, it's contribution points, not gold coins.Exchange gold coins with contribution points, the Magic Council is open to exchange 1:1; exchange gold coins for contribution points, sorry, the Magic Council does not exchange, is it on the black market, Gretel secretly inquired, and 2:1 cannot be exchanged...

Gretel touched his purse, there were less than 200 gold coins in total, goodbye.

"So now, I can learn new meditation ideas? Will they be sent to me for free? I have no money!"

Seeing Gretel's eager eyes, Archmage Carlisle wanted to cover his forehead—or give him a brainstorm.This is the benefit of joining a large organization!Did you understand?

Meditation methods, meditation methods 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, are held in the hands of various university schools and major mage organizations.No one will give it to anyone, and the Magic Council will not give it——

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 with a sharpened head, you have to work hard to please your mentor and make contributions to the organization. I hope that your mentor will be pleasing to your eyes and give you a good meditation idea.But like Gretel, the boss brought in by name...

Who dares to deduct?

Who dares? !
Up to the mentor, down to himself, as well as the Horn of Thunder, and even the leaders of other branches of the Evocation School, they are thinking hard about how to let this kid upgrade quickly and have the power to protect himself...

Archmage Carlisle flicked his palm.Crash, clatter, three scrolls, two magic crystals, and a piece of golden fur with handwriting all fell out one after another.He casually pointed to the pile of things:
"No money! I joined the Thunder Horn, and I will definitely give you the idea of ​​meditation! Take a good look for yourself, pick one that suits you, and ask me if you don't understand!

——If you are selected, there are matching magic rituals and magic potions.Use several methods together to increase the level faster! "

Gretel: "..."

Just untie the scroll and read it. The words on the fur... I don't know much, so I have to look it up in the dictionary later?Tell me how to read this magic crystal!It is still the same as the legendary jade slip, stick it on the forehead, and the information will be automatically instilled...

By the way, there are medicines!

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

"You still don't want to drink medicine? Do you think it's easy to find a potion that can permanently improve your mental power?"

Gretel stared at him warily, determined not to budge.Potion hey!What you drink in your mouth!This is not a common product such as energy potion and healing potion, it has been tempered and has quality certification!Rare potion, who knows the composition and origin!
What is pharmacology?Which is the target?
Is it toxic to humans?What are the adverse reactions and are there any contraindications?What is the pharmacokinetics like, how long does it take to reach the peak blood concentration, and how is it metabolized?

Have you done animal experiments and passed the third phase of clinical trials?Is there a certification from the Food and Drug Administration... No, is there a certification from a special agency of the Magic Council?

Has it expired?

Whether the quality is reliable or not, will the person who dispenses the medicine shake their hands, which material is added by 50%?

Drugs with no provenance and no quality assurance should not be taken unless absolutely necessary!
