Greetings, Mister Principal: Senior Review Committee

Dingle bell——

A bell rang, causing senior review member Sullivan to look up from his book and saw a blue flame flickering on the teleportation circle, and a paper appeared in the circle along with a note.

"This is really rare."

Sullivan is the Fifth Ring Mage and the senior review member in charge of the Alchemy Department. Whenever there are differences among the ordinary review members, the paper will be sent to him for review.

However, alchemy is a faction that focuses on experiments. Most of the laws and theories are summarized through repeated experiments many times, so the method of verifying the paper is also quite simple, that is, do as stated in the paper. In an experiment, if the experimental phenomena conform to the description, then the paper will be self-evident. If not, it means there is something wrong.

Therefore, in most cases, it is difficult for papers from the Alchemy Department to be sent to the review committee at the higher level, because there will basically not be too many differences in experimental phenomena.

"Let me take a look. Is it a paper on new substances? Is it also a discussion of combustion reactions?"

Sullivan frowned slightly after seeing the title of the paper, and then looked at the note.

On the note are the evaluation opinions of the previous three review committee members for reference.

"Hey, what's going on?"

Most of the time, the papers passed to the upper-level review committee are mostly a mixture of approval and rejection opinions, but the review opinions in Sullivan's hands are clearly three "thesis approval".

Why is it still passed here when it has been unanimously approved? Is there something wrong with the paper review channel?

While he was still confused, Sullivan saw the bottom of the note and understood the reason.

The problem lies in the review points.

Three review opinions, one gave a high evaluation of two hundred points, one gave a hundred points, and the last one gave a passable ten points.

The gap is too big. Naturally, it is impossible for the review system to remove the highest score and the lowest score and then average it. It can only transfer it to Sullivan.

"Since they all passed the review, it means that there is no problem with the paper itself, so is there a disagreement about its value?"

This situation is very rare, especially in the field of alchemy.

Putting aside his doubts, Sullivan decided to read the paper from cover to cover.

At the beginning, he was still pleased with the strict format and precise sentence description of the paper, but soon, when the protagonist of the paper, that special gas, appeared in the paragraph, Sullivan's face changed. The soft expression disappeared.

Replaced by seriousness and concentration, he reviewed the paper word by word, sometimes stopping to think, sometimes repeatedly considering it. After reading the entire paper, Sullivan stood up and immediately came to the laboratory, completely An experiment described in the paper was conducted.

When Sullivan saw that the gas produced in the experiment extinguished the match and turned the clear white rock solution cloudy, he felt a buzz in his brain.

In fact, alchemy mages have always wanted to find a more accurate description of combustion reactions. Although Master Hohenheim’s combustion theory is universally applicable to most reactions, there are always some special alchemical reactions that do not conform to this theory. , this is no longer a secret among the intermediate alchemists of the Tower of Rainbow.

Of course, the vast majority of alchemists still hope to improve upon this theory rather than completely overthrow it. After all, this is the cornerstone of modern alchemy. If it were to be directly overthrown, Sullivan even thought it was possible to see it. To the grand scene of brain explosion in ancient times.

"Whose disciple is this?"

It was only then that Sullivan thought of visiting the author. Sometimes, some masters would distribute their research topics to promising students to help these students improve their status in the academic world. Sullivan subconsciously thought I thought this paper was of the same type.

But when he saw the name "Linard Ian Gray" in the author column of the paper, he was even more confused.

"Iain Gray? Isn't this the name of the man in charge of the business empire?"

After thinking about it, Sullivan summoned the elemental servants from the Rainbow Tower.

"Check the spell level and past papers of Reiner Iain Gray."

The elemental servant assigned to each review committee member by the Rainbow Tower is a creature called a crystal insect, which comes from a demiplane discovered by the mages. This creature looks like a ball of gray fluorescence and has a certain intelligence and excellent memory.

The food of crystal worms is also very special, which is biological sleepiness.

Whenever the mage feels sleepy and wants to be lazy and fish, the crystal worm will **** away their sleepiness, making them feel more energetic and focus on study and work.

In the past, these elemental creatures were usually used by mages as props to refresh themselves. However, it is worth noting that although crystal worms can **** away sleepiness, they cannot eliminate fatigue. Relying on this thing for a long time is like being addicted to coffee. , which can easily lead to mental and physical exhaustion.

"As you command, my lord."

The crystal worm made a buzzing sound, wandered in the air for a while, and then answered.

"According to the latest version of the list of mages in the Tower of Rainbows (revised version on the 15th day of the Primrose Moon, 2318 in the Blue Moon Calendar), there are three people in Reiner Inglet, including a mage apprentice, a first-level mage, and a Named a second-level mage."

The Crystal Insect reports the internal data of the Rainbow Tower, which is updated once a week. It contains data on the ranks and spells of all registered mages, as well as a list of papers written by mages of the fourth ring and above~IndoMTL.com~ It is very convenient to check basic information.

"Report on the situation of the second-level mage."

Sullivan subconsciously eliminated the apprentice and the first-circle mage. The paper in his hand, not to mention rich knowledge, at least requires a lot of experimental accumulation to write. Unless he is a genius in the alchemy department, otherwise one-circle There is no way a mage can write such a beautiful paper.

"Linard Ingle is a second-level mage. His teacher is the fourth-level mage Brown Ainuit. His specialty is necromancy and transformation."

"Death and Change?"

Sullivan was even more confused. Necromancy and transmutation were inherited from ancient magic. There are not many theoretical explanations of modern magic. How could a mage who specializes in these two systems of magic write this paper on alchemy? ?

"Where are the data of the First Ring Mage?"

"Linard Ingle, a first-level mage, and his teacher is the fourth-level mage Bolivar Ceci. His specialty is the mechanical system."

The crystal worm reported in a deep voice, making Sullivan frown.

"Mechanical department, that's even more impossible. How can those guys who want to marry metal know alchemy?"

It was rare to become a little irritable, Sullivan, who had never been on good terms with mechanical mages, said to himself, but there was only one possibility for the next step.

"A mage apprentice?"

Since the mage apprentice does not have a formal mentor, there is no data on how he is good at spells. However, after excluding the first two people, the third one is undoubtedly the most likely. Sullivan also checked the second author Xia Luo. According to Clune's information, it was discovered that this person was also a mage apprentice, which further confirmed this view.

"This is really interesting."

Sullivan thought and turned his attention back to the review comments of the paper.
