Ernest, one of the largest cities in the west of the continent, and the busiest comrcial center of the Midland Federation, was located on a plain next to the Valedin River. The city had been ford during ancient tis because of good soil suitable for planting. And when the first star gate leading to a demiplane was discovered at the outskirts of Ernest, this historic city once again ushered in a new life.
Today, these good fields around Ernest were still planted with various crops, while the developed commodity economy in the city was already the mainstream.
With the Ernest eting, it has beco a magic city. According to statistics, almost half of the high-level mages in the entire magic world participated in this eting. So, Ernest was a magic city comparable to the Rainbow Tower where the Magic Association headquarters was located.
Depressed, Sullivan followed his acquaintances on the thesis review committee to the Ernest Conference Hall. This room could accommodate 5,000 people. It was the largest full-ti conference room in the Midland Federation. It could even be said that this five-story building was actually expanded on the basis of this conference room.
Although there was still half an hour before the official start of the conference, this conference hall was almost full. If it weren't for Sullivan and others who had seats reserved by rcury Balance in advance, they would probably have had to stand in the last row to listen to the lecture, like those independent mages.
Ernest conferences have been held many tis in the past, and although there had always been many participants, it was not exaggerated to such an extent. Sullivan faintly noticed sothing. After taking his seat, he heard the mages around him discussing enthusiastically.
"Have you heard that at the high-level mages eting yesterday, those Excellencies seed to have triggered a lot of feedback from the world. I heard this from one of my seniors during a drink last night. He is a student of His Excellency Selim. When it happened, he was just outside the eting room!"
"Oh my god, is this true? Has the discussion on the nature of light been clarified?"
"No no no, although that eting was originally a discussion about the nature of light, due to changes in the middle, it seed that it beca an alchemy related discovery. I am not clear about the specific details and the senior did not say much."
"But there is news that the specific content will be announced at today's eting, that's why there are so many people here!"
"The feedback from the world... If I can get so, maybe it will not be a dream to advance to the middle level."
...
Hearing these people's discussions, plus what he saw with his own eyes outside the conference room yesterday, Sullivan roughly had so ideas about what happened.
He wanted to explain the situation to Reiner Ian Gray yesterday, but as soon as the other party walked out of the eting room, he was taken away by His Excellency Detrius. Sullivan was a small mid-level mage, of course, he didn't dare to stop His Excellency Detrius. So his matter was delayed.
Judging from the current situation, the paper by Reiner Ian Gray may indeed be correct. Sullivan thought that although he had only verified the claims about isotopes, Reiner's subsequent inferences were well-founded. If the predictions on the periodic table were true, then he would be able to find his answer soon.
"Do you an that those high-level mages are already..."
Sullivan frowned. At this mont, the side door at the front of the podium opened and several mages walked into the conference hall, causing another heated discussion.
"It's the high-level mages!"
"Wait, who is the young man standing next to His Excellency Detrius?"
Hearing this, Sullivan hurriedly looked up. He saw that beside His Excellency Detrius, there was a handso young man wearing an improved mage robe following him. Although his cuffs only had one gold ring, he couldn't move his eyes away from it.
He was Reiner Ian Gray! ! !
"I did not expect that in just a few months, he would accomplish things that many people could not achieve in their entire lives."
Sullivan sighed, hoping that he would not be punished for delaying Reiner's paper.
......
Reiner's appearance had attracted the attention of many people. His appearance was not well-known, so many people were still speculating about his identity. Especially after seeing the single ring on Reiner's cuff that represented a first-ring mage, many mages found it hard to believe.
What exactly did this first-ring mage do that he was qualified to stand on the sa stage with those high-level mages?
So people already knew Reiner's identity. In the tenth row, Fleming Ernst and his student Kanon were looking at Reiner. Although Kanon was sitting in distress, his eyes still showed envy.
"Kanon, you don't need to envy. You could still envy his luck and opportunities when he attended the rcury Balance annual eting a few months ago, but now, he and you are no longer in the sa world. "
Fleming said sternly. He had learned about Reiner's latest discovery through various channels. He knew that Reiner was able to stand in this position today not by relying on pure luck, but on genuine academic knowledge.
When a person is only a few hundred ters away from you, you may still be able to catch up if you try harder. But when the other person is already high in the sky, comparison will lose its aning.
This was the subconscious truth that had been passed down between mages. After all, in ancient magic, talent and blood would determine everything. This kind of thinking continued to this day and still remained in the hearts of many mages.
"Let's endeavor to keep up with this era. I have a hunch that in the next few years, the entire magical world may usher in a change on a scale no less than that caused by His Excellency Braggs in the past. If you can't adapt and keep up with the pace of the tis, I am afraid you will end up like those pedantic and old ancient mages and your cognition will collapse ."
Fleming said in a low voice. He had felt this atmosphere more and more in recent research, whether it was related to the exploration of the nature of light or the exploration of the law of elents. Even important discoveries such as the Newington Holland equations were difficult to understand for many middle-level mages.
Mages that could not keep up with the tis would only be eliminated. It happened once three hundred years ago, and it may happen again in different forms today.
All of the high-level mages were seated one by one, announcing the official start of the eting. The audience was silent and the lights dimd. Then in the front row of the seats, seven rays of light fell, illuminating the seven positions.
From the darkness, seven mages ca to their seats and sat down.
These were legendary mages, the people who were above all mages
