Greetings, Mister Principal: A corner of the world
In Griffin, Hans couldn't close his mouth when he looked at the orders he had received.
The news that Rainer Ian Gray won this year's Hohenheim Gold Cup spread immediately after the annual meeting of Mercury Balance. People who were not able to attend the meeting were eagerly waiting for the latest issue of "Alchemy" to be published. Some careful mages discovered in the database directory of the Tower of Rainbow that this Reiner Ingle had published a paper before.
As a result, the "Monthly Alchemist Griffin", the only one that included this article, became a treasure that many mages were eager to buy. This caused the price of the journal, which originally had a small print run, to rise for a while, and the editor-in-chief Hans I hurriedly contacted the printing house and had it reprinted several times.
Not only that, some schools also learned about this journal. Out of recognition of Hans's vision, they immediately placed a one-year order for "Monthly Alchemist Griffin" to avoid missing out on any big news again. It was found that, for these schools, purchasing one more journal would not cost much anyway.
At the same time, more and more mages are submitting articles to "Monthly Alchemist Griffin". Most of the research results of these mages are not important. Submitting articles to those big journals will only sink into the dust. In the past, they didn't know it at all. There is such a journal, and now, these mages seem to have found a new way to publish papers.
Hans was very happy, and from time to time he would brag to the people around him that he had discovered the first paper of the Hohenheim Gold Cup winner. He framed Reiner's reply and hung it in the most conspicuous place in the office.
However, Hans also knew that the cooperation between Reiner and him might end here. After winning the Hohenheim Gold Cup, Reiner's future papers will definitely receive enough attention, and I am afraid they will never appear in the "Monthly Magazine" again. "Alchemist Griffin" was published. In fact, according to the latest news, the paper on the electrolysis of water should be published in the next issue of "Alchemy", which is what countless mages dream of.
Hans picked up a treasure this time by pure luck, and he had to rely on the recommendation of his friend Angele.
"Should I go to the Rainbow Tower to talk to that guy when I have time?"
Looking at the city outside the window, Hans murmured to himself.
......
On the other side, in Priest's prison.
Piram sat dejectedly on the stone bench. The bed here was made of hard stone slabs covered with straw. It was damp and dark, and was gnawed by rats from time to time. It could be said to be the worst place.
His hands were cuffed by chains. This was no ordinary chain, but made of some kind of material that could inhibit the release of magic by the mage, and was specially used to imprison the mage.
In a few days, Piram will be sent to a wild and remote demiplane, where he will work for decades until death.
The glory and wealth disappeared in an instant. Piram figured out a lot, but there was no chance to regret it.
He hated Antoine because Antoine took away Elaine, the girl who warmed everyone around her like sunshine.
The three of them were originally good friends, but Piram had always had a crush on Elaine, and Antoine was obsessed with research and had no interest in love. So Piram felt that he had a great advantage, but he didn't expect that when he was about to reveal his feelings, I saw the scene where Elaine confessed to Antoine.
Since then, Piram's relationship with the two people quickly fell apart. Later, he sank for a time. He relied on Hyrule Ingle's help to make a comeback, but found that the woman he loved had died of illness.
All the anger was poured into Antoine. Piram hated him so much that he was eventually blinded by hatred and ended up like this.
In prison, Piram thought everything through, but there was no chance for him to come back again.
Bang bang bang——
"It's time to eat."
The jailer brought simple food, bread like sawdust and "broth" that was thinner than water. Piram took the food and sighed. Although it was unpalatable, he, who was already suffering from hunger, paid attention to it. Not that much, so I tore off the bread with difficulty, dipped some soup in it and put it in my mouth.
He didn't even realize that today's jailer was not the one who came every day before.
Not long after, he felt a pain in his abdomen. Piram covered his throat. It was like thousands of sharp needles. The blood vessels on his face burst out, and the poison immediately spread throughout his body. Piram rolled his eyes. He fell to the ground, trying to grab something with his right hand, but ultimately failed.
The alchemist who once had all the power in Priest eventually died in a small, dark and damp prison. Even the rats were unwilling to eat his body.
......
Reiner looked at the information compiled by Claire on the table, and did not expect that the couple's research results would be so numerous.
Judging from several papers, they focused on traveling to each demiplane, recording the detailed geography, biological inspections, and distribution of magic power in each demiplane, trying to build a description of the entire world. theory.
They call the Atlas continent a world community, which is the general name of a civilization and the demiplane it radiates to.
In the Christian couple's theory, the difference between planes and demiplanes lies in independent laws and whether civilization can be produced. They believe that the demiplanes distributed around the Atlas continent were actually originally this world. A part of ~IndoMTL.com~ split off for some special reason, which explains why the basic laws of the demiplane are the same as those of Atlas.
As for other real planes, according to the conjecture of the Kristins, they should have completely different laws from this world. For example, there may be no magic at all, and civilization relies on other energy sources to develop.
This is simply a genius hypothesis in Reiner's opinion, because he himself comes from a world without magic.
Unfortunately, the Kristins never found such a world, and their continuous travels around the demiplane, trying to find proof of their theory, failed because of the collapse of the demiplane.
It was the most serious demiplane collapse in history. The demiplane named "Midgar" was instantly annihilated in the void. Those who were in the demiplane at that time, including the Kristen couple, Hundreds of people inside died, and the couple were the highest-ranking mages.
"Midgar" is a demiplane located on the border of civilization, with a large number of mineral deposits rich in magic power. According to the letter sent back by the Christines, they temporarily decided to go there because of a strange magic reaction. "Midgar", after collecting the data here, was preparing to return home, and the disaster happened at this time.
Furthermore, Reiner noticed that the day of Kristen and his wife's accident happened to be Dana Kristen's seventh birthday. On that day, she lost her parents and became an orphan.
"Everything is really unpredictable."
He picked up a note from the side of the document. This was the note that Reiner asked the students to write about their thoughts about the future during the morning meeting, and this note belonged to Dana Kristen.
Looking at the text above, Reiner showed a complicated smile.
