Greetings, Mister Principal: Letter from the Mercury Balance


While working on his own Crescent Coke theme park plan, Reiner also received a letter from the Immortal Throne.

This is the result of a paper review on genetic theory. Because the targeted verification took too long, Reiner has not received a reply until now.

The review results were naturally those similar words of affirmation. As for the academic points, Reiner was a little surprised, because the Immortal Throne awarded him a full three hundred academic points.

For the previous paper on electrolysis of water, the thesis review committee gave Reiner the same 300 points, while the paper on the periodic law of elements also received 300 points. Now, this genetics paper also has 300 points. This made Reiner doubt whether the upper limit of judging points was 300.

He took another look at the correct font on the letter:

Dear Rainer Ian Gray, regarding your paper "Hybridization Experiments on Pea, and Some Explanations and Hypothesis Verifications of Experimental Results", the review committee made the following review after careful review: Paper The format is rigorous, the logic is rigorous, and the experimental design ideas are innovative. The experimental content provides a glimpse into the field of blood inheritance that was difficult to analyze qualitatively and quantitatively in the past. The genetic laws discovered are universal to species. Although it is a simple hybrid experiment, it reflects On the essential causes of species diversity, if the paper passes the review, 300 academic points will be awarded.

Below this passage, there is also an evaluation written by the legendary mage, Charles Preston himself:

Linard Ian Gray started with a simple pea hybrid and analyzed the mystery of blood inheritance that has troubled mages for many years. The value of this paper is not only that it is the first time that people have used magical rational means to explore the deepest mysteries of the human body. More importantly, it reveals to the mages that this world can be analyzed. I think this is the most important thing.

Obviously, Mr. Preston gave Reiner's paper a very high evaluation. In the past, most of the research on the necromancy system was based on experience, that is, relying on the summary of phenomena and inference of laws. This is of course a This is a way to understand the world, but it is not the best way. Reiner's research is actually a process of looking at the essence through phenomena. It has extraordinary enlightening significance for other research on the necromancy system.

Now, including the points he got from logging into magic before, Reiner already has 10,000 points alone. There is no need to compare with others of the same level. Even a diligent mid-level mage may earn 10,000 points in a year. The points obtained in the game are less than one-tenth of Reiner's. In the field of magic, Reiner can indeed be considered extremely rich.

However, so many academic points are not of much use to Reiner for the time being. Unfortunately, the Magic Association does not allow points to be rented. Otherwise, Reiner would have tens of thousands of points and lend them out, and maybe he would be able to gain a lot in a year's time. rich.

Withdrawing his thoughts from his reverie, Reiner put down the review comments and picked up the next letter.

This is a letter from the Mercury Scale, with the familiar logo of Reiner.

He verified the magical signature, opened the letter, and read it carefully.

The letter contains a lot of content, first of all, it is a comment on Lehner’s previous service on the paper review committee. This is the opinion obtained from the debriefing report Lehner wrote. Due to the commotion Lehner caused before, this treatment of innovative papers The review organization has temporarily entered into rectification. High-level mages will re-evaluate the responsibilities of the review organization and select more suitable people to carry out this work.

To put it simply, Reiner does not need to serve as a thesis review committee for the time being.

Because of this, Reiner needs to do some additional work on the mercury balance to fulfill his responsibilities.

Here, President Dmitry mentioned an inspection job.

In Erasmus, a demiplane not far from the main plane, this is a completely explored and safe demiplane, Potsdam Baptiste, a mage of the Immortal Throne After investigating the creatures here, he published a paper on the evolution of species. This paper had been approached by Reiner in the paper review committee before. Due to the commotion at the time, the review of this paper was ultimately shelved.

Potsdam Baptiste applied to the Magic Association to organize a magic expedition team to go to Erasmus to conduct an on-site inspection of the local ecological environment.

Magic expedition teams are not a special case. Almost all research institutions will send out magic expedition teams from time to time to explore various demiplanes. The main composition of Erasmus's magic expedition team is the Tower of Rainbows. Several professors from the High-level Magic Academy and their students. The professors are all mid-level mages, while the students are basically low-level ones.

For a demiplane that has been discovered, the composition of this magic expedition team is already quite stable, but after all, it is going to a demiplane, so this expedition also carries a certain degree of danger. .

As for Reiner, he can bring a student to join this magic expedition team. This job can be regarded as the mage's duty performed in the mercury balance. At the same time, he can also receive remuneration from the Magic Association, and during the investigation period, he can contact There are many benefits to seeing some creatures unique to the demiplane of Erasmus.

Of course, if Reiner has any concerns, he can naturally choose not to go, and there is no harm in looking for a suitable job later.

Although President Dmitri told Reiner in the letter that there was no need to be too anxious and that he could wait until the deadline before making a decision, Reiner still put down the letter and went to the bookshelf to look for demiplane information.

Soon ~IndoMTL.com~ He pulled out a thick book from the bottom of the bookshelf, "The Encyclopedia of Demiplanes". The author was the late mid-level mage Andal Cremia. This book included All the currently known information on the 302 demi-planes, from landforms and environments to ecological species, mineral resources, population distribution, etc., is detailed and detailed. This also makes this book extremely thick. Compared with the " Where are the magical creatures? ”, this book is simply a giant.

Reiner scanned the catalog and inadvertently caught a glimpse of Midgar, an annihilated demiplane. His finger paused on the name of this demiplane for a moment before moving on.

He found the page number for the demiplane of Erasmus and turned to that page.

"Erasmus is a demiplane dominated by forests. Eighty percent of its area is vast tropical rainforest, with dozens of rivers meandering. There are no four seasons here, only the dry season. and the rainy season, thus forming a very special ecological environment. Among them, Erasmus has twenty-seven unique creatures, five of which are magical creatures..."

Looking at the description on the yellowed page, Reiner fell into thinking.

After a long time, he picked up the pen and began to write a reply.
