“If we follow this conclusion, even though it can explain Elymia’s problem, it seems to involve even greater secrets.”
Reiner put down the pen, looked at his deduction process, and double-checked.
“Only this possibility can explain these problems.”
When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.
Reiner shook his head, organized the information, and pondered whether to visit the Albione family again directly or seek help from other channels.
While Reiner could confront the Albione family mbers face to face, it doesn’t necessarily an he could persuade them. If William and others are more stubborn than imagined, Reiner’s evidence might not change their views, limiting Reiner’s influence a hundred percent.
As for seeking help from other channels, Reiner could only think of rcury Scale, but the Albione family was better in elental magic, and many of their family mbers joined Storm Council, where rcury Scale had little influence, let alone pressuring them.
“If only I could perform the deduction in a relatively formal setting in front of other witnesses.”
Reiner contemplated. The relationship between bloodline mages and the Magic Association was complex. As a newcor, Reiner needed to find a lever that could manipulate the interests between the two, to counter the opposing side.
“There’s a letter.”
Claire entered Reiner’s office at this mont, wearing the dress Reiner bought for her, appearing youthful and lively. The knee-length hem revealed slender and straight legs that made people unable to take their eyes away.
She carried a tray with a cup of freshly brewed coffee. It seed Claire had originally intended to bring it to Reiner.
“Thank you.”
Reiner watched as he watched Claire skillfully place the cup on the table and pour a cup of fragrant coffee, nodding slightly.
“Don’t misunderstand. I just saw you’ve been rooted in the office lately, so…”
Claire noticed Reiner’s gaze and quickly explained.
Smiling, Reiner didn’t continue teasing Claire but shifted his attention to the letter.
“Is this a review of the thesis at this ti?”
He had sent a thesis on the heredity of peas a while ago and the results should be available by roughly now.
The envelope only had the recipient’s na, but once Reiner opened it, he imdiately saw the sender.
However, the signature was not from the paper review committee, but from Charles Preston, the legendary necromancer with a long-standing reputation.
Reiner had so interactions with him before, during which Preston explained so conditions related to mutations after radiation and expressed gratitude to Reiner.
“This, this is a letter from the legendary mage Preston?”
Claire, standing beside Reiner, secretly peeked at the signature in the letter and was startled.
While she had always heard that those esteed mages valued him, she hadn’t expected a legendary mage to write directly to him.
“Charles Preston, the authority in necromancy! Uh, wait Reiner, when did you get involved with necromancy?”
Claire was puzzled. She rembered Reiner was currently affiliated with rcury Scale, an alchemist organization. So why would a necromancer contact him?
“During the previous Ernest Conference, I had so exchanges with Lord Preston.”
As Reiner spoke, he continued reading the letter, quickly understanding why Preston had written to him.
“So, Lord Preston has read my paper on heredity of peas, and… chromosos?”
Noticing the term, Reiner suppressed the throbbing in his heart and read on carefully.
“One paper ntioned that inside cells, there are substances that can be stained, and these things called chromosos will split simultaneously during cell division, corresponding precisely to blood factors.”
With thodical wording, Reiner quickly noted the title and author of the paper for later reading.
In addition to praising Reiner’s breakthrough in the paper, the letter explained the interests of the bloodline mages and straightforwardly revealed the ambiguous relationship between the Magic Association and the bloodline mages.
“So, does Lord Preston support my continued research?”
Understanding the implicit aning in the writing, Reiner suddenly felt like he might have found another supporter.
Firstly, whether it was heredity or bloodline factors, they were the research subjects of necromancy, making the involvent of Immortal Throne reasonable.
Secondly, the content of bloodline factors was directly related to bloodline mages. From here, Immortal Throne could intervene among bloodline mages, and Reiner could request Immortal Throne as a witness to verify his theories.
Finally, judging from the content of the letter, Lord Preston was very concerned about bloodline factors, and as a legendary mage, he undoubtedly had many experintal thods that Reiner couldn’t even imagine. By providing the research direction, Reiner believed he could quickly verify his remaining conjectures and even experint on the relationship between chromosos and blood factors.
“In that case, I can give it a try.”
Glancing at his recent research results, Reiner thought.
After so contemplation, he decided to write down the reasons for his research and send it to Lord Preston, hoping to gain his support.
At the sa ti, he requested Lord Preston to use his status as a legendary mage to convene relevant representatives of the bloodline mages for a press conference, preferably near the Albione family.
Although genetic theory was not perfect at the mont, research on bloodline factors was believed to be crucial for bloodline mages. At that ti, so bloodline families would surely want to grasp the details of this research to show goodwill towards Reiner, causing a rift within the Albione family. Reiner knew that the best way to dismantle a power was to let it split from within.
Organizing his thoughts, Reiner picked up the quill.
“Can Elymia co back?”
Seeing Reiner’s confident appearance, Claire couldn’t help but ask.
“Whether she can co back depends on her own will.”
Reiner replied, handing the neatly packed docunts to Claire and continued speaking.
“Send this to Berger City. Please ask Anvina to secretly deliver it to Elymia.”
Taking the package, Claire noticed a red and black envelope attached to it, with no address nor signature.
“I originally planned to use a more radical approach, but now it seems unnecessary. However, this package should still have so impact.”
After looking at the package again, Claire was puzzled by Reiner’s words.
