Like many similar seminars that Reiner has attended on Earth, the process of the Mercury Balance's academic conference is similar, with the bigwigs giving speeches and then starting to report on their research results, but Reiner listens to the mages around him talking, and it seems that several authorities have not yet arrived.

"Won't Lord Stellnion come this time? And His Excellency Penzance doesn't seem to have seen it. ”

"I heard that they are all experimenting, and there seems to be some major breakthrough."

"Could it be that the laws of the elements have been found?"

"Who knows, but in this issue of Alchemy, I was inspired by His Excellency Stenion's papers."

......

The originally bright weather had somehow turned gloomy, and the early summer showers always came inadvertently, and when the two mages finished preaching their papers, it was already drizzling outside the window.

On the podium, a mage was explaining his thesis, which was a paper on the change of elements, he found that after a long period of storage, some elements will appear impurities of another element, and he studied this phenomenon, although the truth has not yet been ascertained, but it has achieved certain results.

Reiner listened attentively to the paper as he jotted down his thoughts in the appropriate place in the conference catalog.

These are the research results at the forefront of the alchemy system, which is of great help to him to understand the world, Reiner's focused appearance makes the mages around him a little appreciated, you know, many of the content of the conference is indeed a bit obscure for some mages who focus on actual combat and lack of theoretical foundation, but Reiner did not scratch his ears and cheeks, but seemed to digest these contents quickly.

Just as the mage finished explaining and the next mage was about to take the stage, the door of the conference hall was pushed open, and there was a commotion in the crowd as the rain gradually expanded, but it quickly subsided, and everyone looked at the comer.

Reiner saw that the mage looked no more than forty years old, with a resolute countenance, and he was dressed in a pure white robe decorated with powerful runes and a ring of lilac on the cuffs, which was very different from the other mages.

"Lord Stanion!"

Someone exclaimed in a low voice.

Only then did Reiner realize that the other party was one of the people standing at the pinnacle of power in this world, the legendary mage, Lanchester. Stanion.

There was an indescribable coercion in Lanchester's body, as if he would surrender to his power by looking directly, and he moved forward step by step, and the eyes of everyone in the room were focused on him, so that Cornwall followed behind him. His Excellency Penzance was a little bleak.

"Lord Stanion."

The president of the mercury balance, Frederick. Dmitry stood up and bowed slowly.

"Frederick, I'm afraid I'm going to take up a little bit of everyone's time."

Lanchester smiled, naturally no one would object to his words, the mage who was about to take the stage had already gotten up, and when he saw this, he slipped back forcefully.

Everyone is paying attention to His Excellency the Legendary Mage, and since it is so long overdue and has interrupted the normal flow of the meeting, there must be something very important to announce.

There were some people who had already heard about it through various channels, but like the two mages around Reiner, none of them knew any details, which only added to the expectation.

"Guys, allow me to interrupt the proceedings for a moment, because I think there's a more important discovery here that I want to make you aware of."

Lanchester said, his words bringing all the whispers to an abrupt halt.

People looked at each other, waiting for Lanchester's next sentence, and the discovery that could be embellished by the legendary mage with the word "important" must be very noteworthy, and possibly even a milestone.

"If I were to evaluate it, this may be one of the greatest discoveries in the field of alchemy in the last three hundred years."

His voice resounded throughout the conference hall, and everyone fell into a subtle surprise under such an evaluation, and this kind of discovery was not just the result of the level they had imagined before.

"But before listening to this discovery, I hope that you will forget all the principles of alchemy that you know and discard all old ideas, because if you don't, I can hardly guarantee that you here will not have a cognitive breakdown."

Lanchester's words once again stunned everyone, everyone here is an alchemist who has studied alchemy deeply, and is at the forefront of academia, what new discoveries can make them collapse???

After a pause, Lanchester continued.

"I am ashamed that this discovery was not made by me, or by any of the High Council's Excellency, but by an apprentice mage, and I am ashamed that we, who are at the pinnacle of magic, have lost our most basic careful observation of things, and thus ignored some obvious conclusions."

This sentence caused an uproar in the hall again, what is going on with the discovery of a mage apprentice being commented on by His Excellency the Legendary Mage?

You know, even a single paper caused the cognitive collapse of the three reviewers. Alberton, the paper that recast the law system was also written in the second ring, and now a mage apprentice can write a paper that Lanchester is so impressed, how genius he must be.

Could it be that another Lord Alberton is about to be born?

"At the same time, I am also glad that at least in our time, there is such a dedicated and serious mage apprentice, who reconstructs the reality around us and allows us to get closer to the truth when the big man looks further away."

Such praise has far exceeded the imagination of many people, who have speculated about what Lanchester's momentous discovery was.

Is it a new element? Or is it a theoretical innovation? Or is it the discovery of the laws of the elements?

"Mercury Balance is honored to have this mage apprentice present at this annual meeting, and I think we should let the discoverer present his thesis himself."

Lanchester's words caused everyone to look at their neighbors, looking for the legendary mage apprentice.

"No......"

The two mages beside Reiner only looked at Reiner at this time, with a faint premonition.

And Lanchester has continued to speak, he said in a loud voice.

"Yes, Reiner, please. Ian Gray took the stage to share this discovery with us. ”

Lionel. Ian Gray !!

In an instant, the name spread throughout the venue, and everyone was asking, Reiner. Who the hell is Ian Gray?

In the midst of such doubts, the two mages watched in amazement as the handsome man beside them slowly stood up, his expression focused, not intimidated by the gaze that had gathered in an instant, nor complacent by the praise of His Excellency the Legendary Mage.

"Here I am, Your Excellency."

Reiner saluted slightly and took a step towards the podium.
