Act 157. Return and preparation
On the steam train, which rocked regularly, Reiner stared at the recording stone in his hand, lost in thought.
In the evening, Anvena returned home from the manor, handed the recording stone to Reiner, who was in the hotel, and told Reiner everything about her experience.
Reiner had speculated that Alysmia might have lost to Edward, but judging by Edward's performance, it seemed that something was holding him back.
However, since the wedding will be set on Elimia's birthday, it means that the things that hinder Edward will only survive until Elimia's birthday at the latest, and Reiner is indeed running out of time.
That night, Reiner and Claire took the steam train and set off for the Crescent Academy.
It was still early in the morning, and due to the rush of time, the two of them bought ordinary tickets for the box, Claire couldn't bear the sleepiness and lay on the bench opposite and fell asleep, Reiner also took off his robe and gently covered her with a quilt.
Reiner, on the other hand, had not slept all night, and had gone through almost all of the contents of the Recording Stone on the swaying steam train.
It can be seen that the Elbiore family is indeed a family of the same race, so most of them have blonde hair, the difference is only in the shade, but in the genealogy, there is also a situation of heterochromatic hair.
Excluding those who died young, only five of the remaining hundreds of people were red-haired.
On the other hand, it is not uncommon for those who fail to awaken their abilities, and Reiner flipped through the information and found that at least twenty clansmen had not awakened the power of the bloodline until they died.
It's just that the person who is red-haired at the same time and has no awakening power, Arimia is the first.
The combination of various factors, she is considered to be the product of fornication, and it is not completely fabricated.
Reiner believes that since the reproduction process of organisms in this world is no different from that on Earth, then genetic theory should also be able to explain these phenomena to some extent, but the Elbiore family is a family of bloodline mages, and their own bloodlines have been modified many times, and they can't be copied and can't be rigidly copied, and they still need the support of experiments.
Putting that aside for a moment, Reiner opened the file that recorded Mr. Ron's itinerary.
From here, it can be seen that Ron came to Beagle City seven months before Arymia was born, in other words, unless Arymia had only been in her mother's womb for seven months, Ron must not have been her father.
To be on the safe side, Reiner looked at the Elbiore family tree and confirmed that the Bloodline Mage also needed to conceive for October, which proved that at least Ron, who was forced to commit suicide, did not have an affair with Elemia's mother, Martha.
Reiner couldn't tell why such an obvious fact was being ignored, maybe someone wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to frame Elimia's mother, or maybe it was revenge on Mr. Ron, which involved too many things, and Reiner was not very interested.
"If it can be proven that Arymia was indeed born to the Elbiore family, then she may ......"
Reiner thought as the landscape outside the window had changed from mountains to endless wilderness, and in the lush forest in front of them sat Crescent Academy, and they were almost home.
"Claire."
Reiner softly called Claire's name, causing the teacher to slowly open his eyes.
"Good morning, I really didn't eat that ham......"
She was still talking in her sleep, and it wasn't until her eyes were focused that Claire's eyes widened.
"I, I, I, where are we now?"
Claire jumped up, and the robe she was wearing also fell, she glanced at the dress, and then at Reiner, and then sat down slowly, her hands on her knees, looking well-behaved.
"It's almost there, you pack up."
Reiner didn't say much, he was still immersed in thought.
"Can we really get Arimia to change her mind?"
Seeing this, Claire asked anxiously.
"No, I don't think I can change someone's mind."
Reiner shook his head and continued.
"But I think it's feasible to provide the necessary references to make her re-examine herself, and of course, in the end, it will be up to Arimia herself."
They stepped off the train and headed back to Crescent Academy.
The academy was quiet, it was summer vacation at this time, except for the few students and teachers who didn't go home, only idle alchemy creatures were left on the campus to keep cleaning.
The greenhouse plantation had been inaugurated two days earlier, and after a week's rest, Reiner was ready for the construction team to build the pens for the magical creatures.
Instead of going back to his room to take a shower, Reiner went to the principal's office first and confirmed the condition of the greenhouse through a document report.
Located on the west side of the school, where Mr. Antoine used to live, the greenhouse is a vast plantation area, and at the same time, it is not just farmland, but a facility with additional magic, in which each field can be individually adjusted to suit the needs of different plants, and more importantly, the magic arranged in the greenhouse can accelerate the growth of plants, which can be increased by up to ten times according to the type of planting.
Of course, the growth cycle of truly precious magic plants is extremely long, three to five hundred years is normal, and this greenhouse is also arranged by Reiner at a great cost, and it is quite difficult for ordinary people to rely on magic greenhouses to grow a large number of precious magic plants.
After checking the condition of the greenhouse, Reiner was somewhat glad that he had chosen to build the greenhouse first in order to save the cost of purchasing magic materials, at least, he had time to carry out his experiments now.
Reiner immediately picked up his pen and wrote a list of purchases.
Although the materials he was going to experiment with were not rare, Reiner had strict requirements for their characteristics, so he wrote them in detail.
Once he had finished writing, Reiner double-checked to make sure it was accurate, and was about to seal it with wax when the office door was pushed open.
"Uh, I just went to your room to look for you and found no one ......"
Claire said with some writ.
"I'll give you back that dress after I'm clean......"
It turned out that she was referring to the robe that Reiner had put on her earlier.
"Okay, if you will."
Reiner smiled, unconcerned, and then picked up the letter and handed it to Claire.
"By the way, Claire, seal this letter for me and send it to Mr. Osborne, by expedited mail."
"What is this?"
Claire took the letter and caught a glimpse of its contents, but was even more puzzled.
"This is the material for my next experiment, and if it is successful, it may be able to change Arymia's opinion of herself and her mother, of course, everything is unknown until the results are in."
"Experimental materials?"
Claire was even more confused, because the word that appeared most often in the list was not rare magical material, but something that could be found everywhere.
Pea.
