Rainbow Tower, rcury Balance Headquarters.
This was a low-key manor with a few people passing by usually, but the silver balance logo hanging on the gate was awe-inspiring. Here was the headquarters of the rcury balance.
Since flying was not allowed in the Rainbow Tower, of course it was almost evening when Fleming arrived here in a carriage.
Across the corridor of the manor, Fleming showed his identification to the alchemy stone statue stationed at the door. Then the door opened, and he walked into the mansion.
"I know, Sir Sulfuron, you will be placed in the third row."
"Damn it, I swear I will never do experints with that guy again. He almost killed !"
"No, no, no, I'm not targeting you, Sir Midland, we really don't have other places available."
"What? What happened to the mage from the Franois family? Was it an attack or sothing else?"
"I hope I can hear all Excellencies' attitudes towards these theories at this eting. To be honest, Angelina, I am a little confused about the future of alchemy."
"Hey, I got this drink from the southern part of the Aster Kingdom. It tastes very special. You must try it."
......
In the hall of the mansion, there were many people discussing the 305th annual eting of rcury balance to be held on the shore of Lake Wagner in a week. This was one of the largest academic seminars on rcury balance, including high-level seminars. Many powerful mages would co to the seminars. During the three-day eting, one could hear the most cutting-edge reports from various academic experts, which could be said to be a grand magical event.
Fleming was naturally invited. According to regulations, he could bring a student to the venue. Fleming's choice was naturally Kanon.
"Sir Ernst, I have read your hypothesis about the elent of fire. It is very bold. If you can find experintal verification, then I think you will be able to get a Hohenheim Golden Cup Award."
A mage with five gilded stripes on the cuffs saw Fleming and greeted him. He was a rotating clerk and was responsible for reception.
The Hohenheim Golden Cup was an internal reward in the rcury balance to reward those mages who have made outstanding achievents in the alchemy system. If there was no accident in this year's Hohenheim Golden Cup ceremony, the award should be obtained by His Excellency, Cornwall Penzance, who found the new elent "Kayla". What this mage said earlier was nothing but courtesy flattery.
Of course, if Fleming could really perfect the combustion theory and even find the fire elent, then he would surely be able to win a Hohenheim Golden Cup, but that was obviously too far away.
"Just cut those flattery, Falastur, where is His Excellency Detrius?"
Fleming asked.
"His Excellency is having a eting with the other Excellencies, I think you should wait-"
He wanted to let Fleming sit and wait for a while, but the serious expression made the five-ring mage nad Falastur feel the seriousness of the matter, so he nodded, then replied.
"Please follow ."
They walked through the crowded hall, walked up to the third floor, and ca to the door of a eting room. Falastur knocked on the door. He slowly opened the door until the sound of permission to enter ca. Fleming entered the eting room and then waited at the door.
The eting room was very bright. In the evening, the afterglow of the setting sun was shining into this spacious eting room through the large floor-to-ceiling windows. Fleming first saw Frederick Detrius, the ninth-ring mage and also the leader of the rcury Balance, sitting at the side of the long table.
But before he had ti to speak, he noticed the other people in the room, then he suddenly beca a little flustered.
Because it was not soone else, but the high-level mages at the top of the rcury balance.
Maria Instein, a seventh-ring high-level mage. She had discovered two brand-new elents with a certain energy leakage property from the ore and was promoted to a high-level mage. She was a rare high-level female mage in the rcury balance.
Cornwall Penzance, a seventh-ring high-level mage. He has made great achievents in the field of alchemy. His latest achievent was the invention of electrolysis and the discovery of the new elent "Kayla" from caustic alkali. He was one of the candidates that were most likely to get the Hohenheim Golden Cup award this year.
Robert Lizmo, the eight-ring high-level mage. He first discovered the mystery of vacuum and was the first to propose the theory that the volu of air changed with pressure. Among the magic of wind, twenty-nine spells were nad after him.
Eagles Ferdo, a ninth-ring high-level mage. He was most famous for proposing the concept of elent and elent mass, which had triggered a wave of elent discovery that still continued to this day.
And Lanchester Steinen at one end of the long table. Although this legendary mage was no longer the leader of the rcury balance, he still participated in relevant etings as the authority of the alchemy departnt.
There were also students of these high-ranking mages present here, but His Excellency Cornwall Penzance ca alone.
"Fleming, why are you so flustered?"
Frederick Detrius asked with concern. He was gentle and calm. Even if Fleming's arrival interrupted the eting, he didn't seem to be angry.
"Uh, Your Excellency, my student Kanon received a review paper. I think it is necessary to show it to you."
Fleming was like a humble student at this ti, lowered his head, and said.
"A review paper? Why does this kind of thing need to be reviewed by a high-level mage? Are the guys on the paper review board useless?"
Cornwall Penzance asked rhetorically. He was not targeting Fleming. The Academic Paper Review Committee has long established a set of corresponding chanisms to review papers. Unless it was a new paper by a high-level mage, it was impossible to pass it on to this level. Since the original reviewer of this paper was a student of Fleming, it ant that this was a paper written by a low-level mage. In Penzance's eyes, the paper of this level was indeed not qualified for them to review.
Of course, sotis there were so mages who wanted to introduce their students to high-level mages using this thod, so Cornwall also asked one more question.
"Whose student's thesis is this?"
"It's not anyone's student... Actually, this is a paper written by a mage apprentice."
Fleming didn't dare to speak anymore, as if every word he said was like a bomb.
"A mage apprentice? Fleming, are you serious?"
Cornwall raised his eyebrows, and there seed to be flashes of lightning in the air.
"Wait, since Fleming is so flustered, I think this paper may indeed have a certain value. In the past, didn't we also want to break the rigid paper review chanism? If we stick to these rules, wouldn't we fall into the cage that we didn't want to be in in the first place?"
Lanchester Steinen spoke, and everyone else stopped speaking and fell silent.
This was the majesty of the legendary mage.
"Fleming, bring the paper, let's take a look."
Hearing the order of the legendary mage, Fleming took out the paper in his hand.
Dozens of papers were lifted up by an invisible force, and as Lanchester waved his hand, the papers and pens in the corner of the room also flew up, and quickly made five copies of the sa essay. Then they were sent into the hands of several high-level mages.
Frederick pushed up his glasses, got the paper, first saw the title.
"Analysis of the properties and compounds of the two new elents "Occles" and "Hydra" obtained by electrolysis of water, and several conjectures about combustion theory"
"Electrolysis?"
There was a questioning voice among the high-level mages, but no one continued to speak. Everyone, including Cornwall who protested at the beginning, began to read this paper seriously
