Chapter 1044 -1041: Gourd Brand
The structure of the Magic Association had become increasingly massive, but Liszt, who remained ever vigilant against a resurgence of magicians, had gradually transformed the concept of “magic.”
Now, the Magic Association resembled the Chinese Academy of Sciences, where magicians were gradually adapting to the identity of arcanists and engaging in specialized magic development work. Moreover, under the influence of Liszt’s will, arcanists began to specialize in specific fields according to their different interests and skills.
Such as Healing Arcanists, Magic Equipment Arcanists, Magic Array Arcanists, Potion Arcanists, Mechanical Arcanists, and so on.
However, the Chinese Academy of Sciences is an elite organization of scientists, while the Magic Association is an organization that recruits all magicians, roughly considered a combination of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Ministry of Technology, and also encompasses the functions of health commissions.
Integration of production, education, and research.
Research and development of magic technology, education, and training of arcanists, ultimately utilizing arcanists and magic technology in the construction of the kingdom.
At the same time, the Magic Association adopted the “Chief Arcanist System.” This was a magic management system that mainly established the position of Chief Arcanist in magic research projects and national institutions, with the Chief Arcanist taking overall responsibility for the project and managing project funds, resources, and so forth.
Because of the demand for Magic Lamp Bulbs.
Liszt directly decided to offer a substantial reward to fund an arcanist to establish a separate magic laboratory, effectively promoting this arcanist to the rank of Chief Arcanist.
In the field of magic, this was definitely a meteoric rise to becoming an industry Boss-level figure.
Keep in mind that although there are so many registered magicians in the Magic Association, fewer than twenty magicians have attained the position of Chief Arcanist and own a separate laboratory. Most magicians are merely assigned to miscellaneous tasks in the laboratories or participate in construction in various city administrations.
The Magic Association had already formed over fifty magic laboratories, undertaking various subjects, but most of these laboratories were under the names of Ach and Lerald — only archmages had the qualifications to continuously open new magic laboratories and initiate various brand-new subjects.
“Your Majesty, with such an enticing reward that you offer, I’m afraid that for the coming period, most arcanists in the Magic Association will be too distracted from their work, focusing solely on finding a carrier for the Magic Lamp Bulb,” Chris replied with a hint of helplessness, not without a bit of sarcasm.
She was all too familiar with the young Dragon Knight, His Majesty the King of the Flame Kingdom — sometimes she could sense his far-sighted strategic planning, which led to the establishment of the Magic Association; other times, his ideas seemed fanciful and unpredictable, or, in other words, he made it up as he went along.
Regardless, Chris would faithfully execute his commands, having long decided to dedicate her life to serving Liszt.
It was both to repay the debt for saving her life and a dedication to the Truth.
Liszt smiled and said, “That’s for the best, it’s the only way the importance of the Magic Lamp Bulb can truly be showcased.”
“But I am curious, Your Majesty, is the Magic Lamp Bulb really that important? We have Crystal Lamps, although expensive to produce, the Crystal Alsophila Tree Forest can provide us with plenty of crystals, and the Light Green Gem Dragon Ethan can also produce a large amount of crystal,” Chris asked, puzzled.
The cultivation of the Crystal Arsophila Tree Forest meant that crystals were no longer a scarce resource, allowing for mass production of Crystal Lamps.
“You do not understand, Crystal Lamps are too limited to the use of nobles and magicians, they cannot conquer the darkness. Only by developing an affordable Magic Lamp Bulb can we conquer darkness to the greatest extent…” Liszt casually explained, but upon further thought, it didn’t really seem all that significant.
Edison invented the light bulb as an application of electrical energy, announcing the advent of the electrical age and the beginning of the second industrial revolution.
However, the Magic Lamp Bulb of the present, other than improving labor efficiency and enriching the nightlife, seemed to have no connection with the industrial revolution.
Of course.
Regardless of whether it was meaningful or not, Liszt just had to make the Magic Lamp Bulb happen!
…
I had assumed that finding a suitable carrier for the Magic Lamp Bulb would be like Edison inventing the light bulb, requiring over a thousand attempts and failures before succeeding.
However, Liszt never imagined that less than three days after issuing the reward, a magician would announce they had found the perfect carrier material for the Magic Lamp Bulb.
Therefore,
In the Mage Tower of Flame City, Liszt met with this magician.
The young magician named Oves Truth, who had not long been promoted from Magic Apprentice to Magician, had his identity as an Arcanist specializing in the production of Magic Equipment.
“Your Majesty the King, this is the most suitable carrier I have found for the Magic Lamp Bulb,” the young Oves excitedly presented a brightly shining light bulb.
The bulb was round, following Liszt’s original design, but at the end of the bulb, there was an extra gourd.
It was just an ordinary gourd, a fruit produced by climbing plants commonly found in the primitive jungles of the Flame Kingdom, very similar to those on Earth.

The bulb was mounted on the mouth of the gourd, flashing an unstable blue-white light.
“A gourd?”
“Yes, it’s the common gourds you find in gourd plantations. I previously used gourds to hold some special magical potions. Then it occurred to me, why not infuse gourds with magic power, allowing the Magic Lamp Bulb to maintain the necessary magic power continuously.”
Thinking this, he began to experiment, not expecting much at first since gourds were ordinary plants without any magic power.
However, to his surprise, when he infused the gourd with magic power, he found that the magic power did not dissipate.
Thus, the Gourd Brand Magic Lamp Bulb was born.
With the Eye of Magic activated, Liszt could see through the magic power within this gourd light bulb, filled with Water Attribute magic power. It flowed slowly inside the gourd, providing magic power for the luminous magic array within the glass bulb at the top. The consumption was minimal, and with the magic power in this gourd, it could be lit for at least a year.
“Very good!”
Liszt patted Oves on the shoulder, generously praising, “You are a lucky Arcanist, and of course, luck is also a part of strength. I have high hopes for you, Oves. From today, I will fund you to establish a private Magic Laboratory of your own.”
“Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you so much!” Oves trembled with excitement, bowing deeply to Liszt.
“It is the reward you deserve.” Liszt turned around and said to Chris, Kenley, and the others who accompanied him, “In the next issue of “The Great Arcanist”, I think we can feature Oves on the cover. The Magic Association should strongly support exceptional young Arcanists.”
“The Great Arcanist”, the most authoritative periodical of the Magic Association, was a publication countless magicians were honored to be featured on.
Chris readily agreed, “That’s certainly excellent material, as long as Oves is willing to be interviewed, he will be the cover figure of the next issue of “The Great Arcanist”.”
How could Oves not be willing? He nodded eagerly, “I am willing, I am very willing, President, I would be very happy to accept the interview!”
“Then it’s settled.”
After dismissing an elated Oves, Liszt called Chris and Kenley to his office, holding two small gourds in his hand, solemnly saying, “Do you realize the value of these gourds?”
