Chapter 178: Excellent Apprenticeship Quota

Chapter 178: Quota for Outstanding Apprentices

In the public library, the dwarf scholar Orr looked at Locke in surprise. “Are you going to publish six articles this time?”

Locke nodded to confirm that four of them were from the Eye of Perseus lichen.

There are two more articles, one of which is a preliminary test result report on the Bear Spirit Green Gall Potion made with Emerald Iris Lichen as raw material, and the other is an analysis of the specific principles of the Bear Spirit Green Gall Potion’s curse-dispelling magic.

During the subsequent data collection of the Bear Spirit Green Gallbladder Potion, we should be able to publish several more high-value articles.

The dwarf scholar Orr quickly flipped through the six articles and, after confirming they were all correct, showed Locke some respect. He said, “Augustine, the article you published last time regarding the memory ointment experiment data has now been rated B-grade. This is even higher than I expected, at 72 points.”

“But the quality of the articles you published in the past few days is very good. I guess they all started out as B-level articles, and some of them even have the potential to be A-level.”

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

As a result, he has now published six articles in a row, and each one starts at B level.

Speaking of which, the dwarf scholar Or suddenly realized at this time that the first article published by Locke was of grade B.

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

But Locke never seemed to look down on articles below grade B.

The dwarf scholar Orr sighed inwardly. “I thought this guy was an ordinary first-class wizard apprentice. After all, he didn’t have a mentor before. He was arranged to publish articles and practice from the third-class wizard apprentice.”

“Who knew it would be different from what I thought, and he is another master who is particularly good at publishing articles.”

The dwarf scholar, Orr, was quite satisfied. “That’s good, it just so happens that I can read a few more valuable articles soon.”

The dwarf scholar Orr nodded to Locke and said with a smile, “I really envy you, Breeder Augustine. You have so much research material on your hands, including vampires, first-class wizard apprentices, and special magical plants.”

“These things are enough to write more than a dozen B-level articles.”

“It seems that you may very well be able to obtain the title of [Outstanding Apprentice].”

Locke looked at Orr doubtfully. “Excellent apprentice?”

The dwarf scholar Orr was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, “For someone as outstanding as you, there’s really no need to understand so many of the academy’s policies. As long as you develop normally and publish articles normally, you will receive various rewards from the academy.”

“Unlike some first-class wizard apprentices who study hard every day and receive various awards and titles from the academy.”

Orr explained, “An outstanding apprentice is one who publishes five B-level articles and one A-level article within one year of becoming a first-class wizard apprentice. This title will be awarded to them and they will receive corresponding additional rewards from the academy.”

“So, generally speaking, wizard mentors will let promising wizard apprentices start accumulating experience in publishing articles from the time they become third-class wizard apprentices. This is so that when they become first-class wizard apprentices, they can get a place as an outstanding apprentice that year.”

Locke nodded. So at the beginning, Teacher Sophia didn’t think she was qualified to get this position?

wrong……

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

Then it was too late for her to develop her ability in this area later.

However, judging from my current efficiency in publishing articles, I have a high probability of getting the position of outstanding apprentice this year.

Among the six articles this time, basically none of them are rated lower than B level, and some of them even have the potential to reach A level.

Of course, I am not very familiar with the unspoken rules of publishing articles, so I may not be able to get ahead.

But I still have a lot of things in my hands. As long as I want to publish an A-level article, I will definitely be able to publish it this year.

Locke nodded and said, “I understand. Then please help me, Dr. Orr, send this article to the general scholars in charge of the selection.”

The dwarf scholar Orr smiled at Locke and said, “Of course, this is my duty.”

“Mr. Locke, please publish more articles related to vampires. This is one of my hobbies.”

“It’s a pity that there’s so little research on vampires in the academy.” Orr looked at Locke with some envy. “I wish I had a vampire in my hands.”

After hearing this, Locke said hello and quickly left the library, fearing that Or would ask him to borrow a vampire experimental subject.

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

After leaving the public library, Locke immediately went to the Chimera Market and came to the Historian’s House shop again.

Tyne, the alchemist’s assistant from the nearby Kentrey Furnace Workshop, immediately lit up his eyes when he saw Locke coming. He wanted to sell his work to Locke, a big customer with super purchasing power in his eyes.

Tyne said, “Locke, a new alchemical product has been created this month. It can be said to be a low-end luxury item among first-class wizard apprentices – the magic ring.”

“Are you interested in learning about the Lord of Rings? This is a major category of alchemical items. I recently created my first Lord of Rings. If you’re interested, I can give you a 20% discount…”

Locke waved his hand at him, indicating that he was not here to buy alchemical items, but to enter the Historian’s House, and then walked into the Historian’s House.

Tyne’s eyes dimmed immediately. He was extremely depressed and muttered to himself, “Locke, this guy is too stingy. They are all genius breeders, but why does Mary buy a lot of luxury magic items from my shop every time she passes by?”

After Locke walked into the Historian’s House shop, he discovered that there were customers in the shop.

The guest was wearing a gray wizard robe and had his face wrapped with cloth. He then handed a broken piece of antique porcelain to old man McCarthy.

This first-class wizard apprentice, who had concealed his identity and appearance, said in a hoarse voice that was obviously distorted by magic: “Old McCarthy, tell me, what is this thing?”

McCarthy got up from the ground, reluctantly looking away from the antique bronze artifact in his hand, and then fixed his eyes on the porcelain fragment. “Two hundred and fifty magic stones, this is not a problem for an ordinary first-class wizard apprentice.”

The gray-robed first-class wizard apprentice immediately took out two hundred and fifty magic stones from his astral ring and handed them to old man McCarthy. “Okay.”

“But the origin of this porcelain fragment is very important to me. It is related to one of my experiments. I am a mystic, as you know. This is directly related to whether I can be promoted to a formal wizard.”

Locke’s eyes immediately changed subtly. The secret mages… they were a group of very dangerous guys.

According to the knowledge I gained in the Everything Class, the secret mages are a group of people who pursue forbidden knowledge and secret powers, and a group of wizards who inherit the mystery.

It is difficult for ordinary wizards to contact 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 either.

Even in the Everything Class, there are not many records about it. In short, everything about the secret magician seems to be very mysterious.

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

Locke could only see that old man McCarthy had cast a special spell on the porcelain fragment, which seemed to activate the negative energy particles attached to the porcelain fragment and awaken the special information hidden in it.

Ten minutes later, the gray-robed wizard was clearly 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 were in the dark wizard community, your status would definitely be higher than being a small shopkeeper here.”

In the dark wizard society, archaeologists hold a very prominent position, because many dark wizard organizations rely on archaeologists to excavate ancient technology and provide the power of ancient magic.

McCarthy lifted the soundproofing barrier. After hearing what the dark wizard said, his face turned grim and he said angrily, “Mystic, you’d better not talk nonsense. I have nothing to do with the dark wizard.”

“Go away. You are not welcome here. Don’t come here again.”

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

After he left, McCarthy gave Locke a welcoming look. “Old friend, you haven’t been to my shop for a long time.”

“I’ve been missing you a little lately. I just thought of you this morning and you came. Hahahaha… What a fate.”

“Hmm? The ancient bloodline in you has become more intense, and has also mutated a bit.”

Locke looked at him. “Did you find out? Do you know what ancient creature’s bloodline this is?”
