The Association of Mages grew larger and larger. However, Liszt, who was always on guard against the revival of sorcerers, had gradually changed the concept of "magic".
The current Association of Mages was more like the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Sorcerers gradually adapted to the identity of arcanists and engaged in professional magic development work. Gradually, under the influence of Liszt, arcanists began to specialize in different fields according to their interests and specialties.
For example, medical arcanists, magic equipment arcanists, magic array arcanists, potion arcanists, machinery arcanists, and so on.
However, the Chinese Academy of Sciences was an elite organization of scientists, while the Association of Mages was an organization of all sorcerers. It could be seen as a combination of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Ministry of Science and Technology, and also included functions such as health committee.
Integration of production, study, and research.
Research and development of magic technology, education and training of arcanists, and finally use arcanists and magic technology to participate in the construction of the kingdom.
At the same time, the Association of Mages adopted the "Chief Arcanist System." This was a magic management system, mainly to set up the position of Chief Arcanist in magic research projects and national institutions. The Chief Arcanist would be responsible for the project, managing the project's funds, resources, and so on.
Because of the need for magic light bulbs.
Liszt decided to take out an excessive reward and sponsor an arcanist to set up an independent magic laboratory, which was equivalent to promoting the arcanist to Chief Arcanist.
In the field of magic, this was definitely a step to the sky, becoming a boss-level figure in the industry.
One had to know that there were so many registered sorcerers in the Association of Mages, but no more than twenty had the position of Chief Arcanist and had their own independent laboratory. Most of the sorcerers were only assigned to do odd jobs in the laboratory, or to participate in the construction of the administrative offices in various cities.
The Association of Mages had set up more than fifty magic laboratories to carry out various research projects, but most of the laboratories were under the names of A Qi and Laird. Only Magic Shooters were qualified to continuously open magic laboratories and create all kinds of new research projects.
"Your Majesty, with such a tempting reward, I'm afraid most of the arcanists in the Association of Mages will not be in the mood to do their own work for a period of time. They will all be focused on finding carriers for magic light bulbs," Kris responded a little helplessly.
She was too familiar with the young Dragon Knight, His Majesty the King of Fire. Sometimes, she could feel his far-sighted strategic planning, which led to the establishment of the Magic Association. Sometimes, she could also feel that his ideas were simply unconstrained and untraceable. In other words, he could do whatever he wanted.
But no matter what, Kris would faithfully execute Liszt's orders. She had long decided to serve Liszt with all her might for the rest of her life.
Not only was he returning the favor of saving his life, but he was also dedicating himself to the truth.
Liszt smiled. "That's for the best. Only then can the importance of the magic light bulb be demonstrated."
"I'm just curious, Your Majesty. Is the magic light bulb really that important? We have crystal lamps. Even though they're expensive, the Crystal Cyathea Forest can provide us with large amounts of crystals. The Light Emerald Dragon Ethan can also produce large amounts of crystals. "
With the cultivation of the Crystal Cyathea Forest, crystals were no longer a scarce commodity, and crystal lamps could be mass-produced.
"You don't understand. Crystal lamps are too limited to the use of nobles and mages. They can't conquer the darkness. Only by developing cheap magic light bulbs can we conquer the darkness to the greatest extent … "Liszt explained casually. But after thinking about it carefully, it did not seem to make much sense.
Edison invented the light bulb, which was an application of electricity. It announced the advent of the electrical age and the beginning of the Second Industrial Revolution.
But the current magic light bulb, apart from increasing labor efficiency and enriching nightlife, seemed to have nothing to do with the Industrial Revolution.
Of course.
Whether it was meaningful or not, Liszt wanted to create the magic light bulb!
…
Originally, he thought that to find a suitable carrier for the magic light bulb, he would have to try and fail more than a thousand times, just like Edison's invention of the light bulb.
But Liszt did not expect that less than three days after the reward was issued, a mage would announce that he had found the carrier material for the magic light bulb.
Hence.
In the Mage Tower of Fireforge City, Liszt met this mage.
The young mage was called Orvis Truth. He had just advanced from a mage apprentice to a mage. His arcanist identity was a magic equipment arcanist, and his main research direction was the creation of magic equipment.
"Your Majesty, this is the most suitable carrier for the magic light bulb." The young Orvis excitedly took out a bright light bulb.
The light bulb was round, which was Liszt's idea. But there was an additional calabash at the bottom of the light bulb.
It was an ordinary calabash, a common climbing plant in the primeval forest of the Fire Kingdom. It was similar to the calabashes on Earth.
The light bulb was inserted into the mouth of the calabash, flashing with an unstable bluish-white light.
"Calabash?"
"Yes, the most common calabashes in the calabash plantation. I used the calabashes to store some special magic potions. Then, I suddenly thought, why not use the calabash to inject magic power into it, so that the magic light bulb can continuously maintain the required magic power. "
Thinking of this, he began to try. At first, he did not have high hopes. After all, the calabash was just an ordinary plant, not something with magic power.
But unexpectedly, after he injected magic power into it, he found that the magic power did not dissipate.
Thus, the calabash magic light bulb was born.
Using the Eye of Magic, Liszt could naturally see through this calabash magic light bulb. It was filled with water magic power. It was flowing slowly inside the calabash, providing magic power for the illuminating magic array in the glass bulb at the top. The consumption was very small, and with the magic power of this calabash, it could be used for at least a year.
"Very good!"
Liszt patted Orvis on the shoulder and was not stingy with his praise. "You are a lucky arcanist. Of course, luck is also a part of strength. I have high hopes for you, Orvis. From today onwards, I will sponsor you to set up an independent magic laboratory of your own. "
"Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you so much!" Orvis trembled with excitement and bowed deeply to Liszt.
"This is a reward that you deserve." Liszt turned around and said to Kris, Kenley, and the others who followed him, "I think we can let Orvis be on the cover of the next issue of the Great Arcanist. The Association of Mages should vigorously support outstanding young arcanists."
The Great Arcanist was the most authoritative journal of the Association of Mages. Countless magicians were proud to be on the cover.
Kris readily agreed. "Of course, this is very good material. As long as Orvis is willing to accept the interview, he will be on the cover of the next issue of the Great Arcanist."
How could Orvis not be willing? He nodded hurriedly. "I am willing, I am willing, Mr. President, I am very willing to accept the interview!"
"Then it's settled."
After sending away the smug Orvis, Liszt summoned Kris and Kenley to his office. He held two small calabashes in his hands and said solemnly, "Do you realize the value of this calabash?"
