Due to the delay, it was not too early for Reiner and Fleming to leave the mansion.

The low-level mages who had gathered at the door had long since dispersed, repairing and waiting for the next day's meeting.

The trio returned to the silver-rose dining room, saying that Reiner was in for a treat, but since they were all staying in the hotel, Fleming finally suggested that they should have some to eat.

Reiner played to his foodie spirit and ordered a grilled lamb chop with cumin, a small half of smoked chicken, a caviar salad and a vegetable crucian carp soup, while Fleming and Garon each ordered some simple meat.

"Hehe, I really envy you, and I can appreciate the deliciousness of the food."

Fleming said as if he was still thinking about it.

"You know, the lifespan of a low-level mage is more than thirty years longer than that of ordinary people, and the lifespan of a mid-level mage is more than a hundred years, and all the food has lost its taste for us for a long time, and I haven't enjoyed the pleasure that food brings me for fifty years."

Fleming took a sip of the red wine in his glass, looking a little helpless.

"That's why you can focus on the study of magic."

Reiner Business boasted to each other that he had learned from previous chats that this Fleming. Ernst was one of the most famous mages on the mercury scale, mainly responsible for the review of papers, so in the spirit of making friends, Reiner still valued Fleming.

"It's a pity that I still haven't jumped out of the old shackles."

Sighing softly, Fleming said.

"Actually, in the wizarding world, there are not many people who stick to the rules, and the François family is one of them."

"What does that mean?"

Reiner didn't know much about the mages, so he asked humbly.

"You may not know it yet, although the ancient mages because of Herman. His Excellency Pragues has been promoted to a legend and surrendered, but they themselves have many hidden resources and spells, and in the past three hundred years, some small circles have gradually formed. ”

As he spoke, Fleming took another sip of red wine.

"The more famous of them are the pure-bloods and the mysticals."

"Purebloods?"

Reiner was more concerned with the pure-bloods that Fleming had mentioned earlier, which reminded him of words from a magical novel, and he wondered if they meant the same thing.

"The pure-blood faction originated from the bloodline mages, these mages in the past fused themselves with the bloodlines of magical creatures, and they have great power, and most of them strictly control the marriage within the family in order to maintain the purity of the bloodline, and the most powerful families are almost all biological brothers and sisters."

Wouldn't this lead to a genetic disease or something, Reiner didn't think about it, he didn't interrupt Fleming's story, but listened attentively.

"Even in modern times, these families still follow the original traditions, and at the same time, they dislike those who have no magical bloodline and rely on regular magical education to become mages, believing that it is a blasphemy against magic, and of course, under the coordination of the High Council, they still exist safely within the mages, after all, these families have a long history and are inextricably linked with your Excellency."

From Reiner's point of view, this is probably the epitome of a kind of privilege, and watching those originally weak mortals become stronger than themselves step by step is probably unacceptable to those pure-blood families.

"And the François family, a member of the pure-blooded faction, their family has passed on special powers unknown to outsiders for generations, and is proud of it. François, it was after reading your paper on electrolyzed water that I had a cognitive breakdown. ”

Fleming shook his head, then spoke.

"It was too late for me to arrive at the scene, and I don't know why the magic backlash on him was so severe, but fortunately, although he may not be able to learn magic in the future, at least he was able to save his life."

But for a pure-blood mage, whether losing all of his transcendent powers would be more uncomfortable than dying, Reiner didn't know, he couldn't comprehend the feeling.

"Although according to the rules of the High Council, it is your responsibility to have a cognitive breakdown caused by reviewing papers, I don't think the François family will honestly abide by this rule, and it may be detrimental to you."

Fleming said meaningfully that for a family as historic as the François, it would not be difficult to surprise a mage apprentice like Reiner.

But when Reiner spoke at the annual meeting of Mercury Scales, the difficulty of the matter probably skyrocketed.

Reiner not only caught Frederick's attention, but even His Excellency the Legendary Mage was quite favored, and even if the François family really wanted to do it, they must have to weigh it carefully.

"So what should I do?"

Asked sincerely, Reiner knew that even if the people of the mercury balance valued him very much, if the François family really wanted revenge, then those high-level mages might not be able to stop it in time, and it was himself who suffered in the end, so he wanted to ask for some solutions.

"Don't worry, I think His Excellency Dmitry should have taken this into account, after all, he thinks highly of you."

Fleming said mysteriously, patting Reiner on the shoulder.

"I see."

Reiner didn't ask any more questions, and since there were still two days left in the meeting, he should still have access to Frederick, and it would not be too late to implement the issue at that time.

After that, the direction of the chat turned to alchemy, I have to say, Fleming, as a six-ring mage, still makes Reiner feel admired for his understanding of alchemy, and many of his conjectures coincide with the proven theories on the earth, Reiner believes that in time, this mage should be able to successfully promote to the higher ranks.

And Reiner's rigorous attitude and flexible thinking also made Fleming feel admired, compared to his serious and focused student Garon, Reiner's way of thinking is more out-of-the-box, many places can be understood at a glance, if it weren't for Reiner's reservation in advance by several Excellencies of the mercury scale, Fleming would have wanted to accept him as a student.

The pleasant dinner was over quickly, Reiner said goodbye to Fleming and the others and returned to his room, everything today was like a magnificent drama, he did not expect that his paper would be recognized by the high-ranking mages and thus become the focus of the meeting.

But at the same time, Reiner also knows that his strength and fame do not match, and I am afraid that in the future, I am afraid that he will inevitably encounter a situation like the François family that has an inexplicable enmity with him.
