Just as Reiner was asleep to make up for his tired spirit, Xia Luo was a little overwhelmed by the two boxes of books placed at the door of the dormitory.

"This was sent by Madame Freya in the morning, saying that the headmaster gave it to you."

Xia Luo's roommate Evanna has beautiful long light blonde hair, and her family is in the publishing house business, so she has dabbled in all kinds of anecdotes, of course, that publishing house does not seem to be doing very well at the moment, so I will not press it here for the time being.

The lady Freya in her mouth is the housekeeper of Crescent Academy, responsible for the students' daily life, the cleaning of the campus, and the handling of various chores.

"Mr. Reiner?"

Xia Luo was a little confused, and immediately squatted down and opened the box.

"Wow-"

It was Evanna who exclaimed, while Charlotte was speechless in surprise.

The box was full of heavy books, basically all about alchemy, and there were also academic journals over the years, and these things had to be borrowed in the library at least with teacher-level permission or approval, and they had to spend a lot of money to rent, but I didn't expect Reiner to send Xia Luo directly.

In this world, knowledge is everything, and just borrowing books costs one-third of a mage's study funds, and the value of these two boxes of books is at least worth Xia Luo's tuition for three years.

I thought that Reiner's support for Xia Luo to learn alchemy was just a casual talk, but he really sent the information so quickly.

"Oh my God, Xia Luo, are you some relative of the principal?"

Evanna's alchemy grades were mediocre, but she also recognized those few well-known academic journals, and exclaimed quietly.

"Shhhh

Charlotte didn't really want others to know about Reiner's funding of herself, and keeping a low profile was her rule, so she hurriedly beckoned Evanna to move the box into the dormitory, close the door, and breathe a sigh of relief.

Today is a day off, most of the students are still sleeping in their beds, and there are few people in the hallway who have noticed.

"You just went to the principal's office yesterday and got so many things? I thought you were being called to be scolded. ”

Evanna is good at observing words and feelings, when Xia Luo was called yesterday, Teacher Claire obviously had a serious face, that kind of expression, Xia Luo was called to reprimand nine times out of ten, but I didn't expect her to come back safely, and she got such a valuable gift today, which really made Evanna a little incomprehensible.

"I ...... too"

Before Xia Luo could explain, she heard a knock on the door, and subconsciously got goosebumps.

"It's me, is Xia Luo there?"

Claire's voice came from outside the door, which made Xia Luo finally relax, but she began to wonder again, what is the matter with Teacher Claire looking for herself?

"Yes."

Charlotte opened the door and saw Claire a little tired, holding a black and white uniform in one hand and a stack of parchment in the other.

"What's wrong, Miss Claire?"

Instinctively, she still had a hint of fear for the dean, and her fingers pinched the corners of her clothes, looking at Claire in front of her.

"This guy asked me to bring it to you."

Claire handed the parchment to Charlotte, she didn't say who it was, but judging by the tone of voice, Charlotte knew it must be Reiner.

Taking the parchment, Xia Luo saw the title on the first page.

"Discussion on the Special Gases Produced in Limestone Heating Experiments and Several Problems in the Theory of Traditional Combustion Reactions".

There is no doubt that this is the content of the experiment she did yesterday.

Reiner said he would write a paper, but ...... How long has it been?

Counting from last night, it has been less than a day now, and the conjecture proposed by Xia Luo has been transformed into such a thick paper?

"He also said that you should read this paper carefully, mark out if you don't understand it, or if you feel that you have any doubts, and go to his office after dinner, and of course, I will accompany you."

Claire confessed that although Reiner was not pleasing to the eye, she still did not miss anything to do.

"Okay, okay."

Xia Luo nodded again and again, holding the paper in her arms, like some kind of treasure.

"Then I'll go first."

Claire turned and left, she had always been this busy image, and in the minds of the students, the dean of students seemed to have no time to spare.

Seeing the other party leave, Xia Luo returned to the dormitory and looked at the paper in her hand with some solemnity.

"What is this?"

Evanna leaned in, but after reading the title of the paper with great difficulty, she gave up on the idea of joining in the fun.

She basically knew the words on them, but she didn't understand what they meant when they were connected.

Still, she noticed the name of the essay writer under the title.

Lionel. Ian Gray, isn't that the name of the most recent headmaster?

"This is what the headmaster wrote? I heard my father say that the third son of the Ian Gray family was nothing but handsome, and I didn't expect to write such a thing. ”

Evanna is well-informed, so naturally she has heard about the Reiner family as well.

"Well, Ivanna, let me take a look at it alone."

Xia Luo replied, ignoring her roommate's opinion, so she sat down at the desk and began to flip through the papers.

Seeing Xia Luo's serious and focused appearance, Evanna didn't bother, quietly left the dormitory, and took the textbook to self-study.

By the bright light, Xia Luo was completely immersed in this paper.

Although she didn't have much opportunity to get in touch with the most cutting-edge academic papers, Xia Luo had read a few famous ones before, and she still had a little bit of her own evaluation criteria for the quality of the papers, and there was no doubt that the one in front of her could be regarded as an extremely excellent category.

Originally, Xia Luo thought that the experiment she made was very simple, and there might be a lot of nonsense in Reiner's more than 30 pages, but after reading it, she found that Reiner's language was precise and straightforward, and the key points were described clearly in a few words, and the relevant content was very comprehensive.

In the discussion of the combustion reaction, Reiner's words are even more deafening, obviously just a text describing the theory, but in Xia Luo's opinion, it is like the most passionate and magnificent article, which actually makes her breathless and her hands tremble slightly.

The girl was sitting at a desk in a corner of the Crescent Academy, but her mind had flown to a farther place, she saw a raging fire, and in that flame, some kind of shining substance was guiding her direction, Xia Luo tried to go deeper, only to feel countless stars rising around her, bright and flickering, moving along an elegant and regular track.

When her thoughts returned, Xia Luo only felt sweating profusely, but there was an inexplicable power surging in her body, which was a magic power that could not necessarily be accumulated after meditating for a few days, and it was produced in her body just because she read a paper.

In the past, this would happen whenever a mage's understanding of the nature of the world had a breakthrough, but Xia Luo could never have imagined that as a mage's apprentice, she would have such a day.

Xia Luo didn't know what she had seen earlier, but she felt that a door was opening to her.

And it was Reiner who led him at the door.
