Culture Conquers Foreign Worlds

Chapter 162: 2 letters

   Lottie brought back two letters from the Magic Association, one to Dupont Arnold, the head of the publication "Nature and Magic", and the other to Harvey, the author of "The Functions and Principles of Photographic Crystals".

   Lottie rode a flying broomstick and landed to the manor outside Norton, came to the broken wooden door, and rang the bell hanging on the wooden door.

   "Ding Ding Ding~"

   Not long after the sound sounded, the wooden door opened automatically. As soon as Lottie walked to the front of the house, the door was opened by DuPont. He looked at Lottie with a puzzled look: "Ms. Aimee, what can I do?"

   "Mr. DuPont, the review opinion letter for "Nature and Magic" has come down." Lottie bowed politely to him.

"So fast!?" DuPont was stunned. In the past, the submission of "Nature and Magic" to "Modern Magic" took at least one week for review. Now it is only a day after he submitted the publication of "Nature and Magic", his head Subconsciously think of Harvey's thesis.

   Is it related to the paper "The Function and Principle of Photographic Crystal"? He was sure that this was an extremely excellent academic paper, but he didn't dare to imagine that it was because of it.

   Lottie asked with an embarrassed look: "Yes, this is a reply from Charles Bloomer, the reviewer of "Modern Magic", Mr. Arnold, can you let me see my evaluation of Mr. Adrian's paper?"

   DuPont knew that Lottie was a fan of Harvey's novels, and smiled clearly: "Of course, ma'am, please come in."

   The two came to DuPont’s study. DuPont opened the curtains to make the study brighter, opened Charles Bloomer’s replies to him, and read line by line: "Dear Mr. DuPont Arnold:

   Thank you "Nature and Magic" for many years of submission support... "

DuPont glanced at Lottie, skipped the useless greeting, looked at the end of the envelope to find the key words, and read: "I commented on the "Functions and Principles of Photographic Crystals" by Your Excellency Harvey Adrian: Not bad groundbreaking, high meaning, good practicality, scored E! Contribution points reward is 10···1000!? Contribution points."

   DuPont's old body suddenly stood up, and the letter slipped from his hand, only feeling like a heavy hammer to his heart! There is excitement and envy, as well as a trace of unbelievable jealousy. The E-level score is the high score that all the papers of "Nature and Magic" have never received! In addition, there is a reward of 1,000 contribution points!

   What is the concept of 1,000 contribution points! ? DuPont has run "Nature and Magic" for so many years and often publishes academic papers, and has accumulated more than 3,000 contribution points so far. With one paper, Harvey got one-third of his life savings!

   "Class E!?"

   Lottie widened her eyes when she heard it, and her round-frame glasses were about to fall to the ground. The 1,000 contribution points were also not a small amount for her, the head of the Magic Association Division, almost the same as her total salary for most of the year. What excites her most is the evaluation of E (Exceeds exceeds expectations). She knows that "Modern Magic" is not a well-known academic publication of magic, but this evaluation is also the first time she has met in so many years. It is the first time for a low-level spellcaster. It is an immeasurable honor to receive this evaluation after publishing a paper.

  Most of the spellcasters became the upper-level spellcasters before they started to tinker with the papers, and 99% of the first published papers were treated with ruthless rejection.

She has read Harvey’s paper, and feels how excellent the paper is, but she never expected to get the evaluation of E (Exceeds beyond expectation) directly. Although she is a commoner spellcaster, she has a good talent. Learning magic has only received an A (pass) evaluation in publications that are less well-known than "Modern Magic" so far.

  ······

   Lotti used the flying broomstick with excitement to personally come to Elroy to send the reply letter from "Modern Magic" to Harvey.

In the living room of the mansion, Harvey just got downstairs and Lottie couldn’t wait to stand up and look admiringly: “Congratulations, Mr. Adrian, your paper has been evaluated by Mr. Charles Bloomer, the reviewer of Modern Magic. A reward of one thousand contribution points."

   "Class E?" Harvey was taken aback, not knowing whether the evaluation was good or bad.

"Ah, speaking of it, Mr. Adrian may not understand it either." Lottie saw that Harvey was not very happy, and thought for a while to explain: "Mr. Adrian, there are academic papers on spells in major publications. There are six regular ratings, namely O (Outstanding=excellent), E (Exceeds exceeds expectations), A (pass), P (Poor=lower than average), D (Dreadful=bad), T (Terrible=extremely poor) ), D level and below are mostly rejected. E-level evaluation and above can even represent the publication to participate in the selection of a certain award. For the average caster, the E-level evaluation is already a great achievement, and it can be the first time a paper is published. Earning an E rating. I have seen one of you in these years~lightnovelpub.net~ Lottie's eyes were envious, and he handed a letter with both hands. "This is Charles Blue, the auditor of "Modern Magic" Letter from Mr. Mo to you. "

"Thank you very much, for your hard work, Ms. Aimee for coming here." Harvey leaned and laughed. Harvey didn't know much about the Magic Association and didn't have much real feeling for what Lotty said, but the reward for one thousand points is indeed better than Harvey. Expectations are still much higher. I was worried that photographic crystals in a magic-developed area were long-running techniques and could not get a high evaluation.

   "Where, this is my duty as the vice president of the Magic Association." Lottie's freckled little face appeared shy and flushed.

   Harvey opened the envelope. The content of the envelope was written in a simplified version of the star text. This text is the general text of the Magic Association. It does not have the three-dimensional model of the star text. The content that can be expressed is limited, but it is more than enough as a communication language. The reason why the Magic Association uses simple star text as a lingua franca is because many terms related to magic are recorded in star text, and it is impossible to accurately translate it in other words.

   The content of the envelope is mostly an evaluation of the papers written by Harvey, covering all aspects, and it is accompanied by an invitation letter, solemnly inviting Harvey to continue to publish papers in the journal "Modern Magic" in the future.

   After reading it roughly, Harvey put away the envelope and smiled at Lottie: “I’m finally relieved now, Ms. Aimee, tomorrow is my wedding. If I can, would I be lucky enough to invite you to it.”

   "Wedding!?" Lottie looked at Harvey in surprise. How did he think that weddings are vocabulary that has no relationship with Harvey. Harvey is still young, a famous novelist, and now a spellcaster. Now he is going to get married?

   She thought about it and nodded vigorously: "Of course, if I have this honor."
