Greetings, Mister Principal: Interrupted meeting

The Tower of Rainbow, the headquarters of Mercury Scale.

This is a low-key manor. Few people usually pass by, but the silver scale sign hanging on the door makes people awe-inspiring. This is the headquarters of Mercury Scale.

Since flying is not allowed in the Rainbow Tower, of course it was already close to dusk when Fleming arrived here in a carriage.

Passing through the corridor of the manor, Fleming showed his identification to the alchemy statue stationed at the door. Then the door opened and he walked into the mansion.

"I know, Lord Saffronge, your position will be arranged in the third row."

"I swear, damn, I will never experiment with that guy again, it's killing me!"

"No, no, no, I'm not targeting you, Lord Mitland, we really can't squeeze out another seat."

"What? Something happened to the Francois family? Was it an attack or something else?"

"I hope to hear your attitudes towards these theories at this meeting. To be honest, Angelina, I feel a little confused about the future of alchemy now."

"Hey, I brought this drink back from the southern part of the Kingdom of Astor. It tastes very special. You must try it."

......

In the hall of the mansion, people were coming and going, and many people were discussing the 305th annual meeting of the mercury balance that will be held on the shores of Lake Wagner in a week. This is one of the largest academic seminars on the mercury balance. Many powerful mages, including high-level mages, will be present at the conference. During the three-day conference, you can hear the most cutting-edge reports from various academic masters. It can be said to be a magic event.

Fleming was naturally invited. According to the regulations, he could bring one student to the venue. Fleming's choice was naturally Galleon.

"Lord Ernst, I have read your hypothesis about the fire element. It is very bold. If you can find experimental verification, then I think you will definitely be able to get a Hohenheim Gold Cup."

A mage with five gold rims on his sleeves saw Fleming and came up to him. He was the clerk on duty and was responsible for reception.

The Hohenheim Gold Cup is a reward within the Mercury Scale. It is used to reward mages who have made outstanding achievements in the alchemy system. If nothing goes wrong, this year's Hohenheim Gold Cup should be the discovery of new elements through electrolysis." "Keira" was obtained by His Excellency Cornwall Penzance. This mage is nothing more than commercial flattery.

Of course, if Fleming could really perfect the theory of combustion and even find the element of fire, he would surely be able to win a Hohenheim Gold Cup, but that is obviously too far away.

"Don't say polite words to me, Farast, where is Lord Dmitry?"

Fleming asked.

"Your Excellency Dmitri and the other Excellencies are having a meeting. I think you'd better wait until later..."

He originally wanted Fleming to sit and wait for a while, but the serious expression made the fifth-ring mage named Falast feel the seriousness of the matter. He nodded and answered immediately.

"Please follow me."

They walked through the crowded hall, climbed up to the third floor, and came to the door of a conference room. Falast knocked on the door until the sound of permission to enter came from inside, and then he slowly pushed it open. The door opened, allowing Fleming to enter the conference room, and then waited at the door.

The conference room was very bright. In the evening, the afterglow of the setting sun was shining into this spacious conference room through the large floor-to-ceiling windows. Fleming saw Frederick sitting on the side of the long table at first sight. Demetri, the Nine-Circle Mage and the leader of the Quicksilver Scales.

But before he could speak, he noticed other people in the room and suddenly panicked.

Because it was none other than the high-level mages at the top of the mercury scale.

Maria Einstein, a seventh-level high-level mage. She discovered two brand-new elements with certain energy leakage properties from the ore and was promoted to a high-level. She is a rare high-level mercury balance. Female mage.

Cornwall Penzance, a high-level mage of the Seventh Ring, has made great achievements in the field of alchemy. His latest achievement is the invention of the electrolysis method to dissociate the new element "Keira" from caustic alkali. This year's Hohenheim One of the strong candidates for the Gold Cup.

Robert Lismore, the eighth-level high-level mage, was the first to discover the mystery of vacuum. He was the first to propose the theory that the volume of air changes with pressure. Twenty-nine of the magics related to wind are based on his Naming.

Eagles Field, a high-level mage of the Nine Rings, is most famous for proposing the concepts of elements and element quality, which triggered a craze for element discovery that continues to this day.

And Lanchester Stanion, who is at one end of the long table. Although this legendary mage is no longer the leader of Mercury Scale, he still participates in relevant meetings as an authority in the alchemy department.

There are also students of these high-level mages here, but His Excellency Cornwall Penzance comes alone.

"Fleming, why are you so panicked?"

Frederick Dmitry asked with concern. He was gentle and calm. Even if Fleming's arrival interrupted the meeting, he had no intention of pursuing it.

"Um, Your Excellency, my student Gallon has received a review paper, and I think it is necessary to show it to you."

Fleming was like a humble student at this time, bowing his head slightly and saying.

"Reviewing papers? Why does this kind of thing need to be reviewed by a high-level mage? Are the guys on the paper review committee free of charge?"

Cornwall Penzance asked rhetorically. He was not targeting Fleming. The academic paper review committee has long established a corresponding mechanism to review papers. Unless it is a new paper by a high-level mage, it will not be reviewed. It may be passed here, and since the original reviewer of this paper was Fleming's student, it means that this is a paper written by a low-level mage. In Penzance's eyes, a paper of this level is indeed not qualified. Let them review it. ~IndoMTL.com~ Of course, sometimes some of you will cultivate your own students and let them be reviewed by high-level mages, so Cornwall also asked one more question.

"Which student's paper is it?"

"No one's student...In fact, this is the thesis of a mage apprentice."

Fleming no longer dared to speak, as if every word he spoke would detonate a dynamite.

"Mage's Apprentice? Fleming, are you serious?"

Cornwall raised his eyebrows, and lightning seemed to flash in the air.

"Wait, since Fleming is so panicked, I think this paper may indeed have some value. Didn't we also set up the paper review mechanism to break the shackles? If we stick to these rules, wouldn't it be Trapped in your own prison?"

Lancchester Stanion spoke, causing everyone else to stop speaking and fall into silence.

This is the majesty of the legendary mage.

"Fleming, bring the paper over and let's take a look."

After hearing the legendary mage's order, Fleming took out the paper in his hand.

Dozens of pages of papers flew up due to an invisible force. Lanchester waved his hand, and pens and papers flew in the corner of the room. He quickly printed out five copies of the paper and flew them into the hands of several high-level mages. .

Frederick adjusted his glasses, got the paper, and first saw the title.

"The properties and compound analysis of the two new elements "Ocles" and "Hydra" obtained by electrolyzing water, as well as several conjectures about combustion theory."

"Electrolyzed water?"

There were voices of doubt among the senior mages, but no one continued to speak. Everyone, including Cornwall who protested at the beginning, began to read this paper seriously.
