Greetings, Mister Principal: Thanks
The meetings for the next two days continued as usual. Reiner participated in most of the meetings that he could attend as an observer, thus systematically understanding the general academic development status of the world. ◢Щщш.suimeng.lā
He found that the necromancy system and the transformation system were still in an extremely primitive stage, and many theories could not be solved with modern magic ideas, especially the research on human bodies and animals. Although the necromancy department's Charles Press Lord Dayton pioneered surgery, but it was limited to routine trauma surgeries, and the treatment of some medical diseases was still in the exploratory stage.
On the third day of the meeting, which was the day when Reiner was supposed to take part in the magic test, Reiner, who had already advanced to the first level, was listening to a necromancy report on the similarities and differences between humans and animals. He seriously He was taking notes, especially the descriptions of those magical creatures. When he raised his head, he found that an old man was already beside him.
"Shhh."
He held up a finger and winked at Reiner.
Reiner suppressed his surprise and pretended to be calm and nodded.
"Your Excellency Preston."
The person coming is none other than the leader of the Necromancer Department, the legendary mage Charles Preston. He is hiding his face in his hood. No one except Reiner is aware of his identity.
"Haha, I wanted to visit you directly, but I thought it might cause you a lot of unnecessary trouble, so I came here."
Contrary to his somewhat frightening majestic appearance, this mage appears polite and has an aristocratic temperament in his conversation.
"I wonder what you want from me?"
At this time, the content on the podium could no longer attract Reiner's attention. He asked the legendary mage beside him in a low voice, feeling a little confused.
"I heard a paper about radioactive elements before, which mentioned that the rays released by radioactive elements have a powerful killing effect on living tissues. Is this true?"
Lord Preston asked softly. His impressive walking stick was missing, replaced by a pure black umbrella with a brown wooden handle. At first glance, he looked like a A personable old gentleman rather than a powerful necromancer.
"Yes, in fact, the author of this paper, Mr. Kelavan Nabistin, became ill because of long-term exposure to these rays."
Reiner explained that judging from the reports he had heard in the past few days, cancer has not yet appeared on a large scale in the world. The main reason is that there are too few mages who study radioactive materials, and most of them are extremely powerful and can rely on The magic barrier shields the harm of those radioactive sources. It is rare for Mr. Kelavan to be in such a situation.
"I have previously received reports from disciples that after people in some areas come into contact with special minerals, it is easy to develop an incurable disease. Diseased organs will produce a kind of life tissue that proliferates almost infinitely, rapidly replacing Other organs eventually fail and die."
Sir Preston said, causing Reiner to open his eyes slightly.
"This symptom is very similar to Mr. Kelavan."
It seems that cancer is not absent, but that it is too difficult to cure, so ordinary necromancers cannot conduct research.
"To be honest, when this special life tissue appeared, I thought I could find the secret of immortality. However, after extracting part of it and cultivating it, I discovered that these life tissues could still maintain normal functions at the beginning. But then it rapidly changed and became a life tissue that could only proliferate indefinitely, spreading like Sauron's alien species, devouring and assimilating other life tissues."
Lord Preston sighed, with a sense of powerlessness.
To this day, mages have not been able to find a way to live forever. Even if they are promoted to a high level, they can only extend their lifespan to three to four hundred years. The lifespan of legendary mages will not be more than doubled. Mortals are mortal. This may be the case. The reason why a mage cannot completely abandon sociality and must pass it on.
"From these life structures, I have a hunch. If mages can extend their lifespan to almost infinite in the future, will such uncontrollable situations occur and eventually become a chronic disease of the world?"
He paused, shook his head to interrupt the topic, and then continued.
"There are ores of radioactive elements such as Redir in several demiplanes. Although the number of cases is not large, the fatality rate is almost 100%. I have been looking for a way to cure this disease."
"That's a shame."
Leiner said that even on earth, the cure rate for people suffering from cancer is not high, and it is difficult to effectively prevent its spread. Once cancer cells spread, it is difficult to treat them by any means, and doctors can only treat the cancer. Take early treatment, not to mention the magical world where cancer has not yet been thoroughly studied.
"However, after listening to your introduction, I have a new idea."
Lord Preston said, his fingers tapping rhythmically on the umbrella handle. Although Reiner was not sure, he guessed that the legendary mage might also be proficient in music.
“In the cases we have learned about, some patients’ original lesions have disappeared inexplicably, and traces of the previous lesions can be clearly observed. We have never known the reason before. Now it seems that it may be these rays for the sake of."
He said in a deep voice.
"The rays released by radioactive substances can cause damage to living tissues. Similarly, they can also cause damage to these infinitely proliferating living tissues and cause them to lose their proliferation activity. According to the targeted research in the past few days, my Disciples have discovered that different organs and life tissues have different resistances to these rays. If magic is used to limit them, these rays may be used as a tool to treat this disease."
Radiation therapy~IndoMTL.com~ Reiner thought that this method is widely used in cancer research on the earth, and this is just the tip of the iceberg of the applications of these radioactive materials.
"I came to visit you mainly to express my gratitude to you. Your report has solved a problem that has been bothering us and is likely to save hundreds of lives. Although you have joined the mercury balance, because of your Contribute, and the door to the Immortal Throne will always be open to you in the future."
Your Excellency Preston said that the Immortal Throne is an organization of the necromantic system, and most of the doctors and magical creatures research scholars are in it.
"It is my honor to help you with your research."
Reiner nodded and saluted, and then saw Mr. Preston stand up and slowly walk out of the conference room like an ordinary mage.
While still thinking about the other party's true intentions, a mage in charge of the reception found Reiner and handed Reiner a letter from Toronto.
Taking the envelope, Reiner saw the sender. ..
It's Claire.
