Sorry, I need to take half a day off. I'm going to finish the chapter tomorrow morning, because I need to work on the rest of the chapter. I'll finish the chapter next weekend.

After putting the exquisite Holm Crown ring on the middle finger of his right hand, Lucien immediately felt that his spiritual power was condensed, as if his body was cleansed by a clear spring, and the hidden scars and dust were all washed away. Lucien was full of vigor, and he almost thought that his level as a sorcerer and a knight had both increased.
"As expected of a level-7 Perfect magic ring. The three permanent magic effects were obviously refined to deal with my situation." The corner of Lucien's mouth curled up. His money-grubber side made him very happy. "With the ring, Element, it will only take me two to three years to improve my soul and spiritual power to the level of a third circle sorcerer. Maybe I can also become a middle-rank sorcerer before I'm twenty years old if I use some arcana points to buy the corresponding magic potions."
If Lucien only focused on studying Astrology and Elements, it would take him twenty to thirty years to become a middle-rank sorcerer, and he was not confident that he could become a middle-rank sorcerer, unless he used all kinds of dangerous, evil, and bloody magic rituals to change his body and soul.
However, with the mathematical knowledge from the Library of the Soul, it was much easier for Lucien to analyze the complicated curves and surfaces. The requirement on his soul and spiritual power was greatly reduced, and it would only take him about ten years to become a third-circle sorcerer. Now that he had Brook Meditation, the ring of Element, all kinds of magic potions and materials, as well as a magic research bridge that could connect his knowledge with the laws of this world, it would not be a dream for him to become a middle-rank sorcerer in a year or two and soar in the sky.
Of course, there was always the possibility of failure in every step, and the more difficult it was to become a senior-rank sorcerer, an archmage, or a legendary sorcerer, if he failed, he would be in danger of dying.
"A magic ring of this level is worth at least hundreds of thousands of Quintal or arcana points, which means that a rich viscount or a poor Count in a prosperous city together with all the manors, towns, and villages around the city are worth at least hundreds of thousands of Quintal or arcana points. No wonder Holm Crown prize is the highest honor in the field of Element and Alchemy. The ring alone is enough to show the value of the prize. "Lucien was a bit surprised by Lucien's words.
Lucien carefully looked at the ring on his right hand and thought, "I've heard that the other prizes are also based on Holm Crown. The Immortal Throne is an amulet or necklace, the Silver Moon Medal and the Ice & Snow Medal are badges, the Sorcerer's Laurel is a crown, headwear, sorcerer's hat, or a pair of glasses, and the Arcana Scepter is a magic staff, all of them are very expensive and very effective..."
Lucien felt that he was almost drooling, so he had to clear his throat to calm himself down.
Morris saw that Lucien was staring at the Holm Crown ring in a daze, and he could tell what Lucien was feeling right now. It was not too difficult for him, an archmage in the school of Element and Alchemy, to make this ring. However, to make it perfect and have three magic effects, the materials needed were very precious and rare. Most of the time, even a whole country would not be able to buy a single one of them.
Thinking that the Will of Elements and the demiplane warehouse of Holm Royal Magic Academy were missing a lot of materials, Morris felt like vomiting blood. Luckily, Holm Crown prize was only awarded once every ten years, so he did not go crazy.
After the award ceremony, most of the arcanists left in less than five minutes. They were eager to try Lucien's idea of purifying the elements.
Lucien reluctantly put down his right hand and was about to go back to Allyn with Lazar. At this time, Gaston, who had gray hair, a pair of weird yellow eyes and a hooked nose, walked to Lucien together with a beautiful blonde girl.
"Evans, what do you think of the Will of Elements? Are you interested in joining us? "Gaston asked straightforwardly. Morris, who had not left yet, was looking at them with a smile.
The reason why Lucien submitted the periodic table was to get the attention of the Will of Elements, so he answered without any hesitation, "I'm very interested in Element magic, and I've had a great time communicating with the arcanists in the Will of Elements these days. I'd love to join the Will of Elements."
Gaston nodded in satisfaction and then took a glance at Morris. Morris laughed and reached out his right hand, "As the president of the Will of Elements, I welcome you, Evans, on behalf of all the arcanists. As a gift, you can go to the headquarter of the Will of Elements, the Royal Magic Tower of Holm, and pick some potions, materials, or magic items that are worth two thousand arcana points. "
For low-rank sorcerers, the Will of Elements, just like the Hand of Paleness, would only give them items that were worth fifty to two hundred arcana points. Although Lucien had not updated his arcana badge yet, in the eyes of the arcanists, he was already a real level four arcanist, and he had won the Holm Crown prize!
"Then, do I have any obligation?" After shaking hands, Lucien asked seriously. Although he liked the rule of giving gifts as soon as he joined the team, Lucien knew that he had to take gifts from them. For example, those poor necromancers in Wilfrid's territory.
Morris adjusted the collar of his purple magic robe and answered with a smile, "We give our members protection so that they can grow up in the Congress of Magic. Also, we need our members to contribute to the organization. Generally speaking, we give them tasks. Of course, if they feel that the task is too dangerous, they can change it by paying the appropriate price. We won't force our members to do things that they are not confident in. Of course, Evans, you're just a first-circle sorcerer. For a genius like you who is not strong enough but has great potential, before you become a middle-rank or even a senior-rank, you will only be given some research tasks. "
"Then I'm relieved. Thank you, Mr. Morris." Lucien thought for a second and still did not take out the Holm Crown ring that Natasha gave him.
Morris patted Lucien's shoulder, "You have a sharp mind, a rigorous logic, and a humble personality. I have great confidence in your future, and I hope that you can walk on the path of arcana firmly. Alright, you can go to the Royal Magic Tower of Holm to register and get your things later. Florencia will tell you the rest about your task. "
Then, Morris moved his eyes away from the Holm Crown ring and walked out of the hall with Gaston, leaving Lucien alone facing the mature and beautiful Florencia.
With a faint smile, Florencia looked at Lucien from head to toe with her beautiful green eyes. In the end, she bent her fingers one by one in satisfaction, "Handsome, elegant, polite, smart, smart, modest and decent. You have both fame and status. Lucien, you're really the dream lover of all ladies. To be honest, even I want to go on a date with you. "She directly called Lucien's name.
Lucien did not expect that this mature beauty with a hot body would be so straightforward. He was a bit embarrassed and did not know how to respond.
Seeing that Lucien was so nervous, Florencia covered her mouth and giggled, "What a young man. I'm afraid that you have no experience. It's a shame that I'm already married, or I'd teach you well. "
Lucien was speechless about the bold style of a married woman.
Florencia stopped giggling and said in a charming way, "Lucien, you're already a level four arcanist. According to the rules of the Congress of Magic, you're a middle-rank person, so you'll automatically resign from the Douglas Magic School, unless you want to kick Donald away and be the principal yourself. In fact, I'd like to see a winner of Holm Crown prize working in the school. It'll be sensational news. "
Thanks to the improvement of paper making and printing technology, the few kingdoms across the sea had more newspapers and periodicals than those on the continent. When Lucien walked to the street in Renstadt, he often heard a newsboy shouting, "Selling newspapers! Selling newspapers! Selling newspapers! Selling the freshly printed Holm Weekly!"
"Actually, I like the quiet environment in the school very much." Lucien said with mixed feelings.
Florencia stopped looking charming and said seriously, "You're already a middle-rank arcanist, so you'll have to accept the mission from the Congress of Magic. I'm afraid that some people who play with dead people will take the opportunity to kill you, so I've arranged a mission for you in advance. You won't have to run around and waste your time learning arcana knowledge."
"What's the mission, Ms. Florencia?" Lucien also became serious.
Seeing Lucien's serious face, Florencia suddenly smiled charmingly, "Don't be so serious. It's a very simple mission. Some druids in the Stroop forest in the east have come to Allyn with their grand elder, the legendary druid Mr. Malfurion. They're going to work on a joint research project with the Congress of Magic. "
"The grand elder has been guarding the forest and the land, and he sympathizes with the farmers at the bottom of the society. He believes that the food they get after a year of hard work is only enough to pay taxes to the lord and not to starve to death, and that they can't live past fifty years old. It's even more hopeless when there's a natural disaster. He has less than a thousand druids, including apprentices, under his command. Even if all the druids on the continent are added together, there are less than ten thousand druids. Also, casting spells consumes spiritual power. Therefore, only a few people can benefit from spells. It can't even help all the farmers in a country. "
"Also, even if we help them this year, the land will be back to normal the next year, and some of the spells will even cause serious damage to the land. Therefore, this time, when the villages near the Stroop forest suffered from a drought, Mr. Malfurion finally made up his mind to seek the help of the Congress of Magic, to see how we can effectively turn their spells into products of alchemy that can be popularized so that the yield of the land and the ability to resist disasters can be improved. “
"This mission is to reverse analyze their spells, figure out the mechanism, and simplify and popularize them. It requires a profound foundation in arcana. Therefore, the Congress is led by Mr. Storm, Mr. Hathaway, and Mr. Thanatos. Mr. Raventi and Mr. Gaston will also participate. Many necromancers and elements will also be mobilized. You can join one of the groups and learn from them. After all, the big shots will take responsibility if you fail. "
The spells of druids were different from the magic of sorcerers and the divine power of the Church. They seemed to be in between. They were similar to the divine power of the Church, and they did not need to pray to the gods. The Congress of Magic had long planned to study their magic system and figure out the origin. Now that Malfurion had come to them voluntarily, naturally, they attached great importance to it, and the three grand arcanists were leading the team in person. All Lucien needed to do was to learn the principles of reverse analysis as well as the mathematical knowledge in reverse analysis.
Lucien understood what Florencia meant. This was a rare learning opportunity. Chances were that he could invent similar new spells with the unique spells of druids. "I'll go to the Task Zone after I deal with the things in the school."
Florencia smiled charmingly, "Very good. It took me a lot of effort to put you in. If it weren't for your Holm Crown prize, those stubborn druids wouldn't want you to join at all."
After that, Florencia's face slightly changed. She nodded at Lucien and left in a hurry, because Raventi walked to them.
Raventi took out a piece of paper and handed it to Lucien, "Evans, these are the mathematics books I've chosen for you. Study hard and build a solid foundation in arcana. "
There were almost fifty books on the paper.
Before Lucien could say anything, Raventi took out a thick stack of papers from his magic pouch, "I've been asking about you recently, and I really like your way of improving apprentices' practice in the school. These are the questions that I've collected over the years that are suitable for you. Take them and practice hard. "
Lucien was a bit embarrassed. Did he just shoot himself in the foot?
… …
Soon after Holm Crown prize was awarded, the Hand of Paleness and other internal organizations in the Congress of Magic, the Saint Truth's bishops in the parish of Holm, and the grand nobles in the Kingdom of Holm all received the news.
There were only twenty-six winners of Holm Crown prize in the past two hundred and seventy years. Of course, they all paid attention to it. (To be continued. If you like this work, you're welcome to come to qidian.com to vote. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
