Throne of Magical Arcana

Endless Ocean, Solar Islands, branch of the Magic Council.

Although the shadow of the mid-level magician's head being blown up in public has not been completely erased from Black's mind, nothing can stop him from listening to the "Voice of Mystery" and "The Reality of the World". Ways to entertain at banquets and dances.

"Good evening everyone, this is Allinge's Weekly Review, and I'm your old friend Lark."

Listening to this crisp and calm voice every night, Blake felt like he really had a friend, a friend who could listen to her talk peacefully in the dead of night, a friend who had never met but felt familiar.

"Lark" reviewed the important news one by one, and Blake listened intently, sometimes rejoicing at the progress of arcane research, and sometimes worrying about the cloudy situation in Holm.

"...In the past few days, there has been an unprecedented upsurge in Allinge. I don't know how many apprentices and magicians have sent their resumes to the Atomic Research Institute, and flocked to the eighteenth floor of the Allinge Magic Tower to participate in the written examination and interview. According to insiders Described that in those few days near the Institute of Atomic Sciences, there were crowds of people, like a wave after wave of the ocean. She only saw such a grand occasion when the great arcanists participated in a certain arcane meeting, and they completely blocked the nearby passages. .”

There was a hint of a smile in the cold voice of "Lark", especially when talking about "insiders".

"What resume? Written test, and interview?" Black said to himself in a daze, but the words "Atomic Institute" in it aroused his strong interest, which should be Mr. Lucien Evans' Atomic Institute Bar? Could it be that he proposed some theoretical system that changed the times? No, the participation of apprentices and magicians should be something else.

"Lark" continued: "Many listeners who are not in Allinge probably don't know what happened, so I will briefly review this matter. On July 3, the Institute of Atomics released the 'Apprentice Recruitment Task' , and plans to hire ten apprentice-level assistants to assist the arcanists in the research institute to conduct experiments."

"What is strange is that the recruitment method adopted by the Atomic Research Institute is very special. You need to obtain a resume form first, fill in your name, age, faction, magic school evaluation results in detail, and attach your own magic image. Screening, they selected some outstanding candidates to participate in the interview..."

Black could no longer hear what "Lark" said next, and his brain was buzzing. Sentences such as "Atomic Research Institute" and "planning to hire ten apprentice-level assistants" seemed to turn into turbulent waves, constantly pounding on his mind.

"The Atomic Research Institute is actually short of apprentice-level assistants?"

"If I can enter the Atomic Research Institute and participate in the most cutting-edge research in the microscopic field, it may not be long before I can raise both my arcane and magic levels to the middle level!"

"It's over, it's over, their interviews should be over..."

In Black's view, if the Institute of Atomics wants apprentice-level assistants, there will be a line outside the door that goes around Allinge. Of course, the reality is the same, but according to his thinking, it shouldn't be that the magic school should directly recommend elite apprentices. , or take care of the juniors of the familiar high-ranking mages? They actually released the mission publicly!

"It is rumored that Mr. Lucien Evans is a gentleman with integrity and a rigorous attitude towards arcane arts. This should be his idea, to select outstanding candidates fairly, openly, and justly..."

Due to various encounters, many magic apprentices who are not outstanding in school will have stronger arcane and magic abilities than those elite apprentices, but because of the difference at the beginning, it is difficult to catch up in level, and they cannot get more opportunities .

"This is the disadvantage of being away from Allinge. Many things are only known after the statute of limitations, which is really frustrating..." Black sighed in a low voice, then concentrated his attention, and heard the voice of "Lark" again .

"...As far as I know, more than 500 apprentices submitted their resumes that day, and nearly 80 formal magicians and intermediate magicians are willing to join the Atomic Research Institute as apprentices..."

Black let out a heck of joy. He thought the same thing when he heard the news just now. He planned to give up the treatment of a formal magician and join as an apprentice, even doing odd jobs.

I heard that Mr. Evans will hold a regular discussion meeting every month. Even if you attend, you should gain a lot.

"...Currently, the first round of resume screening, written examination and interview at the Atomic Institute has ended. Mr. Lucien Evans did not participate. Mr. Jerome and Mr. Rock are in charge of the whole process. According to their introduction, they have selected Twenty-five qualified candidates will conduct the final general interview after the second round of recruitment, and Mr. Evans will be in charge of it personally."

First, second round? Black almost jumped up, so there is still a chance?

The voice of "Lark" Qingyue came to his ears: "Here, I would like to remind the members of the branches and local magic organizations other than Allinge that today is July 8th, and on the evening of July 10th At six o'clock, the submission of resumes will close, and the second round of written examinations will start on July 12th. If you are interested, please seize the time to come to Allinge."

"You are all members of the Magic Council, and the Council and the Atomic Research Institute will treat you equally. This second round of recruitment was actually specially added by Mr. Evans to prepare for you. He said that magicians other than Allinger cannot be allowed And apprentices feel abandoned."

The corners of his eyes were slightly sour, and Blake was quite moved. The magicians and apprentices in Allinge would never feel the pain that seemed to be forgotten by the parliament. In addition to learning a lot of knowledge and grasping the latest research trends, they also provide a link between Allinge and the archipelago:

"Thank you Mr. Evans, thank you Parliament..."

"...Everyone, you can ask your friends in Allinge to help fill in and submit your resume. I think that all branches and local organizations should have electromagnetic communication technology. If you don't have friends in Allinge, you can directly contact the mission area of ​​the parliament. This is their contact information... Everyone waits until you get the invitation for the written test before starting, don't let the operation of the branch and organization be paralyzed..." At this time, the voice of "Lark" was so beautiful to Blake's ears.

Suppressing his excitement and listening to the "Reality of the World" channel, Blake anxiously waited for the dawn and the Allinge time to reach nine o'clock in the morning.

After the sun was shining, Blake hurried to the magic tower of the branch to prepare to use the electromagnetic communication device. As expected, he was surprised to see a long queue.

"What a hot scene..."

The sight made an indelible impression on Black, and he waited until the afternoon to gain access.

Black originally wanted to directly contact the person in charge of the mission area, but suddenly a lingering figure appeared in his mind, so he changed the contact person by accident.

"Hello, who is it?" A very ordinary female voice came.

Blake took a deep breath and said, "It's me, Blake. Ophelia, are you okay?"

"Okay, what's the matter?" Ophelia asked.

Black considered his tone and said, "Are you still in Paphos County? Does it only take two or three hours to get to Allinge from there?"

"If you take the magic steam train, it only takes two hours and forty minutes, Blake, do you want me to help you fill out and submit your resume?" Ophelia's voice carried a hint of a smile.

Blake asked in surprise, "How do you know?"

"Because I'm on the magic steam train heading to Allinge, and it's also for the Atomic Research Institute." Ophelia laughed.

Blake scratched his head: "Then please help me."

"Okay." After Ophelia replied, the two fell into a brief silence.

Then, Black couldn't help asking, "Aren't you worried about encountering that kind of thing again?"

Ophelia is from a magic family and inherited a rich fortune, so she can use electromagnetic communication items as a magician with the second ring. She was coveted by some middle- and high-level magicians with bad conduct, but she had a strong character, so she refused the exchange of those people and returned to Paphos County, where her hometown was.

Ophelia smiled and said, "If you encounter it, you should give up at the worst. It's not that I can't experiment by myself after leaving the Institute of Atomic Sciences. Moreover, Mr. Evans is an upright man who has never been rumored. I am very assured of his character."

Hearing the plain but firm words of his crush, Blake smiled. This is the Ophelia he has always liked. Every time I think about it, her appearance is very blurry, but those smiling but firm bright eyes are very clear.

"I wish you success." Blake said sincerely.

Ophelia smiled and said, "I wish you success too."

…………

In the Atomic Research Institute, Lucien was discussing some issues of superconductivity with several students, and then saw Rock staggering in, his face pale, as if he was about to fall down.

"Mr. Rock, what's the matter?" Annick asked with concern.

Rock said sadly: "I am dying. I am responsible for reviewing resumes, written tests, and interviews. I also have to complete my own experiments and magic structures. I feel like I am going to my grave. There are faces in front of me! That bastard Jerome knows how to sneak back to accompany Vera!"

"This is something you happily took care of yourself, and you can't blame others." Lucien said gloatingly, and then handed over the experimental arrangement to Katrina and Leilia, and he passed Roque leisurely and returned to Magic Tower, after all, some experiments are not suitable to be done in front of everyone at the Institute of Atomic Sciences.

"Master, today's Holm Weekly." As soon as Lucien greeted Pinocchio, Leo handed over the newspaper.

Lucien took a look and saw that the headline on the front page was "Her Majesty Appoints New Royal Archbishop".

Nodding slightly, Lucien was not surprised. Natasha mentioned this matter to herself during the call last night. She admired Richard's religious reform program, but thought it should be cautious, as it would cause the church to go crazy. .

"Sard passed Natasha's request without any hindrance. Could it be that his purpose is really that simple?" Lucien walked towards the study with the newspaper.

At this time, Pinocchio said loudly: "My lord, there is a guest here. His name is Arthur Doyle."

Its sound echoed inside the tower.

What will happen? Lucien asked Pinocchio to let Arthur in suspiciously, and then saw the chubby fat man approaching with a flattering face: "Lucien, here is an invitation. Duke James will hold a party at his private manor tomorrow, I hope If you can participate, Her Majesty the Queen will also visit his estate."

After the death of Prince Patrick, the fat man seemed to have lost his backbone. He was anxious all day long and tried hard to get close to Duke James, but Natasha came to the throne, especially after she celebrated Lucien's birthday, Arthur was reborn. With vigor and vitality, he walks with high toes, but when he sees Lucien, he can't help being half shorter.

Is this creating an opportunity for us to meet? Lucien's mood suddenly became very good. Although he couldn't do much when surrounded by nobles, it was good just to meet.

So, Lucien nodded and agreed.

…………

In the dark night, in a private villa.

The Duke of York looked at Earl Balady and said with a gloomy expression, "Her Majesty is going to visit James' manor tomorrow. What happened to what you said last time?"

"There should be hope." Earl Balady replied vaguely.
