Meet the principal

Just like many similar seminars that Reiner had participated in on Earth, the academic conference process of the Mercury Balance was similar. The big shots gave speeches and then began to report their respective research results. However, Reiner listened to the discussions of the mages around him, and it seemed that Several authorities have not yet arrived.

"Isn't Lord Stanion coming this time? It seems that Lord Penzance hasn't seen him either."

"I heard that they are conducting experiments, and it seems that they have made some major breakthroughs."

"Could it be that the law of elements has been discovered?"

"Who knows, but Lord Stanion's paper in this issue of "Alchemy" really inspired me a lot."

...

The originally bright weather turned gloomy for some reason, and the early summer showers always arrived unexpectedly. When the two mages finished preaching their papers, it was already drizzling outside the window.

On the podium, a mage was explaining his paper, which was a paper on the changes of elements. He found that after long-term storage of certain elements, impurities of another element would appear. He conducted research on this phenomenon. Research, although it has not yet found out the truth, has achieved certain results.

Reiner listened to the paper carefully and recorded his thoughts in the corresponding location on the conference directory.

These are the most cutting-edge research results in the alchemy department, which are of great help to him in understanding the world. Reiner's focused look made the mages around him appreciate it. You must know that many of the contents of the meeting are not enough for those who focus on practical combat and lack The theoretical basis is indeed a bit obscure for a mage to understand, but Reiner did not scratch his head, but seemed to digest these contents quickly.

Just when the mage finished explaining and the next mage was about to take the stage, the door of the conference hall was pushed open. Along with the gradually increasing rain, there was a noise from the crowd, but it soon subsided. Everyone looked at the visitor.

Reiner saw that the mage looked to be only forty years old, with a resolute face. He was wearing a pure white robe decorated with powerful runes, and the cuffs were a lavender ring. He was very different from other mages. .

"Lord Stanion!"

Someone exclaimed in a low voice.

Only then did Reiner realize that the other party was one of the people who stood at the pinnacle of power in this world, the legendary mage, Lanchester Stanion.

Lanchester had an indescribable pressure on him, as if he would surrender to his power if he looked directly at him. He moved forward step by step, and the eyes of everyone in the venue were focused on him, so that those who followed behind him Lord Cornwall Penzance is a bit gloomy.

"Lord Stanion."

Frederic Dmitri, the president of the Mercury Scale, stood up and bowed slowly.

"Frederick, I'm afraid I'm going to take up a little of everyone's time."

Lanchester smiled. Naturally, no one would raise any objection to his words. The mage who was about to take the stage had already stood up, but upon seeing this, he slipped back abruptly.

Everyone is paying attention to the legendary mage. Since he arrived so late and interrupted the normal flow of the meeting in a hurry, there must be something very important to announce.

Some people have heard about it through various channels, but like the two mages around Reiner, they don't know any details, which only increases their expectations.

"Everyone, please allow me to interrupt the proceedings of the meeting, because I think there is a more important discovery here that I want everyone to know."

said Lanchester, his words silencing all the murmurs in the assembly.

People looked at each other, waiting for Lanchester's next words. A discovery that could be modified by the word "important" by this legendary mage must be very worthy of attention, and may even be a milestone achievement.

“If I were to evaluate it, this may be one of the greatest discoveries in the field of alchemy in the past three hundred years.

"

His voice resounded throughout the conference hall. Under such an evaluation, everyone fell into a subtle surprise. To be able to receive such an evaluation, this kind of discovery was no longer just the level of achievement they had imagined before. .

"But everyone, before listening to this discovery, I hope you can forget all the alchemical principles you know and abandon all old concepts, because if you don't do this, it is difficult for me to guarantee that everyone here will not have cognitive collapse."

Lanchester's words once again shocked everyone. Everyone here is an alchemist who has studied alchemy deeply and is at the forefront of academic research. Is there any new discovery that can make their cognition collapse? ? ?

After a pause, Lanchester continued.

"This discovery was not made by me or any of the High Council, but by a mage apprentice. This makes me feel ashamed. I didn't expect that we who stand at the pinnacle of magic have lost our understanding of things. The most basic careful observation, thereby ignoring some obvious conclusions."

This sentence caused the venue to become commotion again. The discovery of a mage apprentice was actually evaluated in this way by the legendary mage. What on earth is going on?

You know, even Isaris Eberton, whose paper caused the cognitive collapse of three review committee members, the paper that recast the system of laws was only written when it was in its second stage. Now, a A mage apprentice could write a paper that Lanchester commented on so much. How talented he must be.

Could it be that another Lord Alberton is about to be born?

"At the same time, I am also very lucky, because at least in our era, there is such a dedicated and serious mage apprentice. When the big guys set their sights further away, he re-deconstructed the reality around us so that we can Closer to the truth.”

Such praise has far exceeded many people's imagination, and they have speculated what the significant discovery Lanchester said was.

Is it a new element? Or is it a theoretical innovation? Or is it the discovery of the laws of elements?

"Mercury Scale is honored to invite this mage apprentice to this annual meeting. I think we should let the discoverer present his thesis in person."

Lanchester's words made everyone look at their neighbors, looking for the legendary mage apprentice.

"No way......"

The two mages next to Reiner looked at Reiner at this moment, with a vague premonition.

And Lanchester had gone on, speaking in a booming voice.

"Please invite Reiner Ian Gray to come on stage and share this discovery with us."

Rainer Iain Gray! ! !

In an instant, the name spread throughout the venue, and everyone was asking, who is Rainer Inglet?

Amid such questions, the two mages stared dumbfoundedly at the handsome man beside them as he slowly stood up. His expression was focused, not intimidated by the gazes that gathered in an instant, nor because of the legend. I was very proud of His Excellency the Master's words of praise.

"I'm here, Your Excellency."

Reiner bowed slightly and took steps towards the podium.
