Greetings, Mister Principal: Before the meeting

Ernest, one of the largest cities in the Western Continent and the busiest commercial center of the Midland Federation, is located in the alluvial plain infiltrated by the crisscrossing branches of the Valedin River. Since ancient times, this place has had a good The town was formed due to the soil suitable for planting. Later, the first star gate to the demiplane was discovered on the outskirts of Ernest, and this historic city once again ushered in a new life. ◢Щщш.suimeng.lā

Today, various cash crops are still grown in the good fields around Ernest, but in the city, a developed commodity economy has become the mainstream.

With the convening of the Ernest Conference, this place has become a magical city. According to statistics, the high-level mages participating in the conference account for nearly half of the entire magic world. At this moment, Ernest It is a magical city comparable to the Rainbow Tower where the headquarters of the Magic Association is located.

Sullivan was unhappy and followed his acquaintances from the thesis review committee to Room 1 of the Ernest Conference Hall. It can accommodate 5,000 people and is the largest full-time conference room in the Midland Federation. , it can even be said that this five-story building was actually expanded on the basis of this conference room.

Although there is still half an hour before the official start of the meeting, the conference hall is almost full. If Sullivan and others had not reserved seats in advance with Mercury Scale, I am afraid they would have to stand like those independent mages. The last row listened.

The Ernest Conference has been held many times. Although today's meeting has always had the largest number of participants, it was not exaggerated to this extent. Sullivan was vaguely aware of something. After sitting down, he heard people around him. The mages are having a heated discussion.

"Have you heard? Yesterday, at the meeting where high-level mages gathered, it seemed to have caused a lot of feedback from the world. I heard it from one of my seniors while drinking last night. He is a student of Lord Selim. , when it happened, it was right outside the conference room!"

"Oh my god, is this true? Has the nature of light been discussed clearly?"

"No, no, no, although that meeting was about a discussion about the nature of light, due to changes in the middle, it seemed to have turned into something related to alchemy. I don't know the specific details, and the senior didn't say much. ."

"But there is news that the specific content will be announced at today's meeting, so there are so many people rushing to attend the meeting!"

"The feedback from the world is really good. If I can get some, maybe it won't be a dream to be promoted to the intermediate level."

......

After hearing the discussions of these people and what he saw with his own eyes outside the conference room yesterday, Sullivan roughly guessed some cause and effect.

He wanted to explain the situation to Rainer Inglet yesterday, but as soon as the other party walked out of the conference room, he was taken to an unknown place by Lord Dmitry. Sullivan, a small mid-level mage, of course I didn't dare to ask, so the matter was delayed.

Judging from the current situation, Rainer Ian Gray's paper may indeed be correct. Sullivan thought that although he had only verified the statement about isotopes, Rainer's subsequent inferences were reasonable. It is said that if the corresponding element is found based on the prediction on the periodic table, its correctness can be verified immediately.

"Did all the high-level mages already..."

Sullivan frowned. At this moment, the side door in front of the podium opened, and several mages walked into the conference hall, triggering another heated discussion.

"It's your Excellencies, high-level mages!"

"Wait, who is the young man standing next to Lord Dmitry?"

Hearing this, Sullivan hurriedly looked up and saw a handsome young man wearing an improved robe and dress next to Lord Dmitri. Although his cuffs only had a gold edge, , but it’s impossible to take your eyes away.

He is none other than Reiner Iain Gray! ! !

"Oh my god, I didn't expect that in just a few months, he would accomplish something that many people would never be able to accomplish in their lifetime."

Sullivan sighed, hoping that he would not be punished for delaying Reiner's paper.

...........

The appearance of Reiner attracted the attention of many people. His appearance is not a household name, so many people are still speculating on his identity, especially the gold rim on Reiner's sleeves that represents a first-level mage, which even makes many mid-level mages wonder. Unbelievable.

What did this first-level mage do to be able to keep pace with the high-level mage?

Some people already know Reiner’s identity. In the tenth row, Fleming Ernst and his student Gallon are looking at Reiner. Although Gallon is sitting upright, his eyes are still revealing. Out of envy.

"Gallon, you don't have to be envious. If a few months ago, when Rainer Ian Gray attended the annual meeting of Mercury Scale, you could still envy him for his luck and opportunities. But at this time, he and you They are no longer characters in the same world."

Fleming said in a deep voice that he had learned about Reiner's latest discoveries through various channels. He knew that Reiner's position today was not due to pure luck, but to his genuine academic level. .

When a person is only a few hundred meters away from you, you may still be able to catch up if you try hard to catch up, but when the other person is already high in the sky, comparison is meaningless.

This is a subconscious thought that has been passed down among mages. After all, in ancient magic, talent and blood determine everything. This idea continues to this day and still remains in the hearts of many mages.

"Keep up with this era~IndoMTL.com~ I have a hunch that in the next few years, the entire magical world may usher in a change on the scale that is no less than that caused by Lord Braggs. , if you cannot adapt and keep up with the times, I am afraid that like those pedantic ancient mages, your cognition will collapse and your magic power will run rampant and die."

Fleming whispered that he has felt this atmosphere more and more in his recent research, whether it is about the discussion of the nature of light or the exploration of the laws of elements. Even Newington-Holland Important discoveries like the system of equations are also difficult for many intermediate mages to understand.

Mages who cannot keep up with the times will only be eliminated. This happened once three hundred years ago, and it may happen again in different forms today.

All high-level mages sat down one by one, announcing the official start of the meeting. The whole place was silent, and the lights dimmed. Then, in the front row of the seats, seven rays of light fell down, illuminating those seven positions.

From the darkness, seven mages came to their seats and sat down.

That is the existence that is above all mages and is at the pinnacle of magic.

Legendary mage.
