Wizard: Starting With Synthesized Gems - Chapter 511

Chapter 508 Review of Two Major Journals

In the editor-in-chief’s office of the Southeast magazine, the editor-in-chief of the Southeast region’s journal Southeast, a one-ring crystallized wizard, was flipping through the articles and classifying them.

These articles submitted to “Southeast” will undergo preliminary screening to eliminate those that are obviously unqualified or submitted to the wrong journal, and a letter will be sent back to indicate the rejection of the wizard’s article submission.

However, after the preliminary selection, it is necessary to find external reviewers, at least two or more experts in the same magic school, sub-direction, and small field of magic, to conduct a double-blind review. Finally, after obtaining the opinions of two or more experts and integrating the opinions of the editorial department, it can be published in the journal.

This is only the requirement of Southeast, but in larger journals, the requirements are even stricter.

After all, the southeast corner region is not a particularly high-level wizarding land.

At this moment, the editor-in-chief of Southeast Magazine’s face changed slightly after reading Locke’s article about Mist’s power. “This is…”

“The Power of Mist? The contributor is a wizard from the Southeast Corner. Although he’s currently in the Six Towers, he’s eligible to submit to Southeast, and he meets the requirements.” The editor-in-chief quickly grasped the crux of the matter. “The Power of Mist was once the most secret secret in Lilith’s Hut. Lilith’s Hut went through countless bloody storms and riots to verify the existence of the Power of Mist.”

“The inhumane experiments even disrupted the upward momentum of Lilith’s Hut, earning a serious warning from the White Wizards Association.”

The editor-in-chief, the wizard, looked at the article in front of him and quickly realized the hidden meaning behind it.

If this article is true, then it is definitely not simple.

He is not an expert in this field, so he needs to find experts outside the editorial department to conduct professional reviews and give review opinions to see whether the article is of high enough value or just for show.

The editor-in-chief, the wizard, quickly opened the gray mist slate and, after concealing the names of the contributors as required, sent the two copies of information to two colleagues in related fields.

Dean Earl Thompson and Wizard Harlan Vera.

The editor-in-chief, the wizard, checked out the articles the two had published in “Southeast” and the articles published in the association’s library. There were several articles related to the power of Mist, so according to the principle of finding reviewers, these two should be asked to evaluate the article about the creation and principles of the power of Mist.

The editor-in-chief frowned. “Now we just have to wait for the opinions of the two experts. If it’s true, it’s truly incredible. I remember this wizard also came from Lilith’s Hut.”

“After all these years, I never thought that the wizards in Lilith’s hut would finally get what they wanted.”

…

On the other side, Locke’s submission to the “Yun Ze” journal office had also been delivered. In the editor-in-chief office of “Yun Ze”, a second-ring editor-in-chief wizard was reading the letters. After reading the article submitted by Locke, which used the power of Mist to accelerate himself to become a first-ring crystallized wizard, he was slightly stunned.

“You submitted it to the wrong place. How can a first-ring wizard submit directly to Yunze? The minimum submission standard for Yunze is also a second-ring wizard. Oh, and this young man should be an outsider wizard, so he doesn’t know this.”

The editor of Yunze, Wizard Earl Harry, smiled slightly. “But actually, this article is quite high quality. Judging from the name of the contributor, he should be the Yunze Cup champion…”

“He is worthy of being the wizard who won our Yunze Cup.” After investigating Locke’s past resume and seeing that Locke was the Yunze Cup champion, Earl Harry immediately gained three points of favorability towards Locke.

Locke was born in the Southeast Corner Region, and later received funding from the Plutarch family in the Six Towers Land. He then won the Yunze Cup Breeder Competition in the Yunze Wetlands.

And winning this competition became part of his origin.

As a wizard of Yunze Wetland, Earl Harry would naturally trust Locke more when he saw that he was the champion of the Yunze Cup and would not think that his article was nonsense.

Earl Harry thought for a moment and politely wrote a rejection letter to Locke. “Dear Wizard Augustine, thank you for your submission.”

“However, Yunze only accepts excellent articles on important discoveries published by wizards of the second ring and above. You can choose to submit your article to Qingcao Yunze, an important sub-journal of Yunze. Although it is a sub-journal, it is also a journal with a reputation of the first zone.”

“Secondly, although your article is of high quality, it seems that you yourself haven’t become a First Ring Crystallization Wizard. It’s a pity that you don’t have any successful examples. So, in order to avoid your article being rejected by Qingcao Yunze, I hope you can provide actual proof.”

…

At the same time, in the secret realm of the wizards in the Poison Valley, Locke felt the gray mist slate vibrating wildly when he was tracking Nidhogg. He summoned the gray mist slate and saw that teacher Harun Vera sent him a message, asking if he had recently submitted an article to “Southeast”.

Harlan Vera sent me a message: “Although I know that private contact violates the principle of blind review, Locke, I still want to know if you have submitted an article to Southeast recently?”

“Have you successfully possessed the power of Mist?”

Locke was about to reply when he heard a roar behind him. Turning around, he saw that half of the sky behind him had been dyed blood red, and a river of blood was pouring down from the sky and into Nidhogg’s body.

Nidhogg used ritual magic to suppress the sea sand in his body, and at the same time, his body became as big as a hill again.

Like a giant.

Nidhogg laughed, and that laughter was the power of some sonic magical creature, which made Locke’s eardrums hurt.

With the power of the Blood River Plane, Nidhogg used his remaining five spider legs to slash towards Locke’s neck.

“Is this your ritual magic? It seems to be a status-enhancing type, not a spell type.” Locke breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the other party was forced to reveal his trump card first. At the same time, he summoned a Hydra and wrapped it around himself.

The power of Mist turned into a giant axe and chopped towards Nidhogg. At the same time, Locke took out a true vision crystal from the ring and recorded what was happening.

“Teacher Harlan Vera, regarding all matters concerning the power of Mist, seeing is believing.”

At this moment, Nidhogg, blessed by ritual magic, and the power of Mist in Locke’s hands collided with each other.

Nidhogg roared, “This is a ritual magic unique to crystallized wizards. You are only a liquefied wizard and will never be able to resist this power.”

The next moment, two powerful forces collided with each other.

Locke suddenly felt a powerful external force, which did not belong to Nidhogg, falling on the axe of his Mist Force.

The moment the two force fields came into contact, Locke seemed to realize that he was not fighting with Nidhogg, but fighting with part of the power of the Blood River plane behind Nidhogg.

The so-called ritual magic is to borrow other powers through magic rituals to enhance one’s own power.

From Locke’s current perspective, this is considered a lower-level beggar version of the greatest magic, because the power of ritual magic does not actually belong to oneself, but is borrowed from the outside.

It may even cost a lot.
