Chapter 178 Outstanding Apprentice Quota

Chapter 178 Outstanding Apprentice Quota

Public Library, the dwarf scholar Orr looked at Locke in astonishment. "Are you going to post a total of six articles this time?"

 Locke nodded, confirming that four of them were about the Eye of Perseus.

 There are two more articles, one of which is a preliminary test effect report of the Xiong Ling Gall Potion made from jade iris lichen as raw material, and the other is an analysis of the specific principles of the curse-dispersing magic of the Xiong Ling Gall Potion.

  In the subsequent data collection of Xiong Lingcudan Potion, several more high-value articles should be published.

Dwarf scholar Orr quickly flipped through the six articles. After confirming that there were no problems, he showed more respect for Locke and said: "Augustine Potion Master, the article you published last time about the experimental data of memory ointment has now been rated as B level. The score is higher than I expected, which is 72 points. "But the quality of the articles you published in the past few days is very good. It is estimated that they all started as B-level articles, and some of them even have A-level potential."

 When the dwarf scholar Orr said this, he felt a little dazed. Locke had just been promoted to a first-class wizard apprentice and published his first article a few months ago.

 As a result, he has published six articles in a row, each of which started at B level.

 Speaking of which, the dwarf scholar Orr suddenly realized at this moment that the first article Locke published was B-level.

 As a first-class wizard apprentice, this is already a good achievement. Many first-class wizard apprentices publish articles every day that are D and C-level. They dream of publishing a few more C-level articles.

 But Locke seems to have never looked down upon articles below level B.

  The dwarf scholar Orr sighed secretly in his heart. "I thought this person was an ordinary first-class wizard apprentice. After all, he had never had a tutor before. He was arranged to publish articles and practice from the beginning of the third-class wizard apprentice. 』

     Who knew that different from what I thought, he is also a master who is particularly good at publishing articles. 』

  Dwarf scholar Orr was quite satisfied. "Well, it just so happens that I can read a few more high-value articles recently. 』

 Dwarf scholar Orr nodded to Locke and smiled: "I really envy you, Augustine Breeder. You have so much research information in your hands, including vampires, first-class wizard apprentices, and special magic plants."
 "These things are enough to write a dozen B-level articles."

 h "It seems that you are likely to be able to obtain the title of [Excellent Apprentice]."

 Locke looked at Orr in confusion. "Excellent apprentice?"

  Dwarf scholar Orr was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "A person as outstanding as you really does not need to know so many policies of the academy. Anyway, as long as you develop normally and publish articles normally, you will get various rewards from the academy."

“It’s not like some first-class wizard apprentices who study every day for the various rewards and titles of the academy.”

 Orr explained: "An outstanding apprentice means that within one year of becoming a first-class wizard apprentice, if he publishes 5 B-level articles and 1 A-level article, he will be awarded the title of outstanding apprentice of that year and receive the corresponding additional academy rewards."

 "So, under normal circumstances, the wizard mentor will let him The wizard apprentices who we think are promising have started to accumulate experience in publishing articles since they were third-class wizard apprentices, so that when they become first-class wizard apprentices, they can get the quota of outstanding apprentices for this year." Locke nodded, so at the beginning, Teacher Sophia didn't feel that she was qualified at all, to get this quota?

 Wrong...

At that time, in the eyes of Witch Sophia, it would be great if she could become a second-class wizard apprentice within four years. Who knew what would happen next.

 It was already too late for her to develop her abilities in this area later.

 However, judging from my current efficiency in publishing articles, I will most likely be able to get this outstanding apprenticeship this year.

 Out of the six articles this time, basically none of them would be lower than B grade, and a few of them even have the potential to reach A grade.

 Of course, I am not very familiar with the hidden rules of publishing articles, so I may not be able to rush into it.

 But I still have a lot of things on hand. As long as I want to publish A-level articles, I will definitely be able to publish them this year.

Locke nodded and said: "I understand. Then please help Dr. Orr to help me send the article to the general scholars in charge of selection."

  Dwarf scholar Orr smiled at Locke and said: "Of course, this is my duty."

 "Locke Breeder, please publish more articles related to vampires. This is one of my hobbies."

  "It's a pity that there is so little research on vampires in the academy." Orr looked at Locke with some envy. "It would be great if I had a vampire in my hand."

  After Locke heard this, he said hello and quickly left the library, fearing that Orr would ask him to borrow a vampire experiment.

  I definitely can't agree to this kind of thing, but it would be troublesome if I refused.

 After Locke left the public library, he immediately went to the Chimaera Market and once again came to the store of the Historian's House.

  Tyne, the alchemist's assistant at Kentray Furnace Workshop next to him, immediately brightened up after seeing Locke's arrival, wanting to sell his works to Locke, a big customer with super purchasing power in his eyes.

 Tyne said: "Locke, we have produced a new alchemy product this month, which can be said to be a low-end luxury product among first-class wizard apprentices - the magic ring."

· "Are you interested in learning about the Lord of the Rings? This is a major category of alchemical items. I recently made the first Lord of the Rings in my life. If you are interested, I can give you a 20% discount..."

Locke waved his hand to him, indicating that he was not here to buy alchemy items, but to enter the historian's house, and then walked into the historian's house.

 Suddenly, Tyne's eyes dimmed quickly. He was extremely depressed and said to himself: "This guy Locke, he is too stingy. They are all genius breeders, why does Mary buy a lot of luxury magic items from my store every time he passes by my store."

After Locke walked into the Historian's House store, he realized that there were customers in the store.

 The guest was wearing a gray wizard's robe, wrapped a piece of cloth around his face, and then handed a fragment of antique porcelain to old man McCarthy.

This first-class wizard apprentice, who had hidden his identity and appearance, said in a hoarse voice that was clearly using magic and distorted his voice: "Old McCarthy, tell me, what is this?" He moved away from the copperware, and then focused his attention on the porcelain fragments, "Two hundred and fifty magic stones, this is not an ordinary first-class wizard apprentice level issue."

The gray-robed first-class wizard apprentice immediately took out two hundred and fifty magic stones from the astral ring and handed it to Old Man McCarthy. "Yes."

   "But the origin of this piece of porcelain is very important to me, and it is related to one of my experiments. I am a mystic, as you know. This is directly related to whether I can advance to the official wizard level."

Locke's eyes immediately changed subtly. Mystics... they are a group of very dangerous guys.

 According to the knowledge I gained in the All Things Class, mystics are a group of wizards who pursue forbidden knowledge and secret power, and who inherit mysteries.

 It is difficult for ordinary wizards to get in touch with them, and this group of people also wanders on the fringes of white wizard society.

  They are very mysterious, and the spells they use seem to be very special. They claim to be the only forbidden school.

 Of course, they are not dark wizards.

 Even in the Lesson of All Things, there are not many records about it. In short, everything about the Mystic Master seems to be very mysterious.

 After old man McCarthy got the magic stone, he immediately activated a soundproof barrier of enchantment school nearby to keep the conversation between him and his customers absolutely confidential.

 Locke could only see that Old Man McCarthy cast a special spell on the porcelain fragments, which seemed to activate the negative energy particles attached to the porcelain fragments and awaken the special information hidden in them.

 Ten minutes later, the gray-robed wizard was obviously in a good mood. He turned to leave the shop. Before leaving, he paused, turned to old man McCarthy and said, "McCarthy, your skills are really good. If you are in the dark wizard society, your status must be higher than being a small shopkeeper here."

 In the society of black wizards, the status of archaeologists is very outstanding, because many black wizards’ wizarding organizations almost rely on archaeologists to excavate ancient technology and provide the power of ancient magic.

 McCarthy lifted the soundproof barrier. After hearing what the dark wizard said, he looked ugly and said angrily: "Mystic, you'd better not talk nonsense. I have nothing to do with the dark wizard."

 "You can go. I don't welcome you here. Don't come here again."

 The mystic glanced at Locke, who was standing at the door, shrugged and left the shop.

 After he left, McCarthy gave Locke a welcoming look. "Old friend, you haven't been to my store for a long time."

"I've been missing you a little lately. I just thought of you this morning and you came here. Hahaha... What a fate."

 Hum? "Hmm? The aura of the ancient bloodline in you has become stronger, and it has also mutated a little."

Locke looked at him. "Did you find it? Do you know what ancient creature's bloodline this is?"
