At Griffin, Hans couldn't close his mouth as he looked at the order he had received.

Lionel. The news that Ian Gray had won this year's Gold Cup of Hohenheim spread immediately after the annual meeting of Mercury Balance, and those who could not attend the meeting eagerly awaited the publication of the latest issue of Alchemy. Ian Gray had already published a paper before.

As a result, the only "Griffin the Monthly Alchemist" that included this paper became a treasure that many mages were eager to buy, which caused the price of the originally small print run to climb for a while, so that the editor-in-chief Hans hurriedly contacted the printing house to reprint it several times.

Not only that, but some schools also knew about this periodical, and out of affirmation of Hans's vision, they immediately placed an order for the monthly alchemist Griffin for a year, so as not to miss any more big discoveries, and anyway, for these schools, it would not cost much money to purchase an additional periodical.

At the same time, there are more and more mages who contribute to the monthly alchemist Griffin, most of these mages' research results are not important, and submitting them to those big journals will only sink into the sea, in the past, they didn't even know that such a journal existed, but now, these mages seem to have found a new way to publish their papers.

Hans was so pleased that he occasionally boasted to those around him that he had discovered the first paper of the winner of the Hohenheim Gold Cup, and he framed Reiner's reply and hung it in the most conspicuous place in his office.

However, Hans also knows that Reiner's cooperation with himself may end here, after winning the Hohenheim Gold Cup, Reiner's future papers will definitely be paid enough attention, and I am afraid that they will never appear in the "Monthly Alchemist Griffin" again, in fact, according to the latest news, the paper on electrolyzed water should be published in the next issue of "Alchemy", which is the dream of countless mages.

Hans was able to pick up a treasure this time by chance, and he had to rely on the recommendation of his friend Angel.

"Do you have to go to the Rainbow Tower and talk to that guy when you have time?"

Looking out the window at the city, Hans muttered to himself.

......

On the other side, inside Priest's cell.

Piram sat dejectedly on a stone bench, where the bed was made of hard slate covered with straw, damp and dark, and occasionally eaten by rats, arguably the worst of all.

His hands were cuffed in chains, not ordinary chains, but made of some kind of material that would inhibit the mage from releasing magic, specifically designed to imprison the mage.

In a few days, Piram would be sent to a wild and remote half-plane, where he would toil for decades until he died.

The glory and wealth disappeared in an instant, and Piram figured out a lot, but there was no chance to regret it.

He hated Antoine because he had snatched Elaine, the girl who warmed those around her like the sun.

The three of them were originally friends, but Piram has always had a crush on Elaine, and Antoine himself is obsessed with research and has no intention of falling in love, so Piram feels that he has a great advantage, but he didn't expect to see the scene where Elaine confesses to Antoine when he was about to confide in his heart.

Since then, the relationship between Pyram and the two has quickly split, and later, he sank for a time, relying on Hailar. Ian Gray's aid is only revived, only to find that the woman he loves has died.

All the anger was poured out on Antoine, and Pyram hated him to the core, and was eventually blinded by hatred.

In prison, Piram thought everything through, but never had a chance to start over.

Bang Bang Bang –

"It's time to eat."

The jailer brought the humble food, bread like sawdust and a "broth" thinner than water, and Piram took the food, sighed, and though it was unpalatable, he was already hungry and could not care so much, so he tore off the bread with great difficulty, dipped it in some soup, and put it in his mouth.

He didn't even realize that today's jailer wasn't the one who came every day.

It didn't take long for him to feel a pain in his abdomen, Piram covered his throat, like a thousand sharp needles, the blood vessels in his face burst out, and the poison immediately spread to his whole body, Piram rolled his eyes and fell to the ground, his right hand wanted to grab something, but in the end it failed.

The alchemist who once called for trouble in Priest ended up dying in a small, dark and damp prison where even rats were unwilling to eat his corpse.

......

Reiner looked at the materials compiled by Claire on the table, and did not expect that the couple's research results would be so much.

Judging from several papers, they focused on traveling to various half-planes, recording the detailed geography of each half-plane, biological investigations, and the distribution of magical power, in an attempt to construct a theory that described the entire world.

They call the continent of Atlas the world community, the general term for a civilization and the half-plane it radiates to.

In the theory of the Christins, the difference between the plane and the half-plane is the law of independence and whether civilization is generated, and they believe that the half-plane distributed around the continent of Atlas is actually a part of this world in the first place, and it was split for some special reason, which explains why the basic law of the half-plane is the same as that of the continent of Atlas.

Other planes in the true sense, according to the conjecture of the Christines, should have completely different laws from this world, such as the possibility that magic may not exist at all, and civilization depends on other energy sources to develop.

This seemed to Reiner to be a genius hypothesis, as he himself came from a world without magic.

Unfortunately, the Kristens never found such a world, and their constant travel to the half-plane, trying to prove their theories, also failed due to a half-plane collapse.

It was the worst half-plane collapse ever, and the half-plane named "Midgar" was annihilated in the void in an instant, and hundreds of people in the half-plane at that time, including Christine and his wife, who were the highest-ranking mages, died.

"Midgar" is a half-plane located on the border of civilization, with a large amount of mana-rich mineral deposits, according to the letter sent back by the Christines, they decided to go to "Midgar" because of the strange magic reaction here, and after collecting the data here, they were ready to return home, and the disaster happened at this time.

Moreover, Reiner noticed that on the day of the Christines' accident, it happened to be Dana. On Christine's seventh birthday, she lost her parents and became an orphan.

"It's really impermanent."

He picked up a note from the side of the material, which was the idea for the future that Reiner asked the students to write at the morning meeting. Christine's.

Looking at the text on it, Reiner smiled with a complicated smile.
