Ernest, one of the largest cities in the Western Continent and the busiest commercial center of the Midlands, is located in the alluvial plain infiltrated by the bifurcation of the Valedine River.

Today, the good fields around Ernest are still growing a variety of cash crops, while in the cities, a well-developed commodity economy is already the mainstream.

With the convening of the Ernest Conference, this place has become a magical city, according to statistics, the high-level mages participating in the conference, accounting for nearly half of the entire magical world, at this moment, Ernest is comparable to the magic city of the Rainbow Tower, where the headquarters of the Magic Association is located.

Sullivan was depressed, and followed his acquaintances in the dissertation review committee to the first room of Ernest Hall, which can accommodate more than 5,000 people, and is the largest full-time conference room in the Midland Federation, and it can even be said that the five-story building is actually expanded on the basis of this conference room.

Although there was still half an hour before the official start of the meeting, this conference hall was almost full, and if it weren't for the fact that Sullivan and the others had the seats reserved in advance by the mercury scale, I am afraid that they would have to stand in the last row like those independent mages.

Ernest meetings have been held many times, and although today's meeting has always been the most attended, it is not exaggerated to this extent, Sullivan faintly sensed something, and after taking a seat, he heard the surrounding mages discussing enthusiastically.

"Have you heard, yesterday at the meeting where the high-level mages gathered, it seems that a lot of feedback from the world was triggered, I heard from one of my seniors when he was drinking last night, he was a student of His Excellency Selim, and when it happened, he was outside the conference room!"

"Oh my God, is this true, is the nature of light already discussed?"

"No, no, no, although that meeting was a discussion about the nature of light, due to the change in the middle, it seemed to be related to alchemy in the end, I don't know the specific details, and the senior didn't say much."

"However, there is news that the specific content of today's meeting will be announced, which is why so many people are rushing to attend the meeting!"

"The feedback from the world, it's really good, if I can get some, maybe it's not a dream to be promoted to the middle level."

......

Hearing these people's discussions, coupled with what he had seen with his own eyes outside the conference room yesterday, Sullivan had probably guessed some cause and effect.

He was going to go and Reiner yesterday. Ian Gray explained the situation, but as soon as the other party walked out of the conference room, he was taken by His Excellency Dmitry to an unknown place, and Sullivan, a small middle-level mage, of course did not dare to ask, and the matter was delayed like this.

Judging by the current situation, Reiner. Ian Gray's paper may indeed be correct, and Sullivan thought that although he had only verified the isotope himself, Reiner's subsequent inference was plausible, and if he had found the corresponding element on the periodic table, it would have been immediately verified.

"Could it be that all the high-level mages have already ...... yesterday?"

Sullivan's brows furrowed, and at that moment, the side door in front of the podium opened, and several mages entered the conference hall, sparking another heated discussion.

"It's Your Excellency High Mages!"

"Wait, who is that young man standing next to Lord Dmitry?"

Hearing this, Sullivan hurriedly looked up, and saw that beside His Excellency Dmitry, a handsome and dashing young man was following in a modified robe and dress, and although his cuffs were only one gold rim, it was impossible to take his eyes off.

He's none other than Reiner. Ian Gray !!

"Oh my God, I didn't expect that in just a few months, he could accomplish something that many people would not be able to achieve in their lifetime."

Sullivan let out a long sigh, hoping only that he wouldn't be penalized for delaying Reiner's paper.

......

Reiner's appearance attracted the attention of many people, and his appearance was not a household name, so many people were still speculating about his identity, especially the gold rim on Reiner's cuffs, which represented the one-ring mage, which even made many mid-level mages feel unbelievable.

What did this One-Ring Mage do to be able to keep up with the high-level mages?

And some people already know Reiner's identity, and in the tenth row, Fleming. Ernst and his pupil Garon were staring at Reiner, who sat upright with envy in his eyes.

"Garon, you don't have to envy if in a few months ago, Reiner. When Ian Gray attends the annual meeting of the Mercury Scales, you can still envy the luck and opportunity of the other person, but by this time, he and you are no longer in the same world. ”

Fleming said in a deep voice that he had learned about Reiner's latest discovery through various channels, and he knew that Reiner's position today was not based on pure luck, but on genuine academic standards.

When a person is only a few hundred meters away from you, it may be possible to catch up with you, but when the other person is already in the sky, the comparison is meaningless.

This is the subconscious that has been passed down among mages, after all, in ancient magic, talent and bloodline determine everything, and this idea continues to this day, and it still remains in the hearts of many mages.

"Keep up with this era, I have a hunch that in the next few years, the entire wizarding world may usher in a change of no less scale than that caused by His Excellency Braggs, if you can't adapt and keep up with the pace of the times, I'm afraid you will be like those pedantic and outdated ancient mages, cognitive collapse, magic power will go berserk."

Fleming whispered that he had felt this atmosphere more and more in his recent research, whether it was the discussion of the nature of light or the exploration of the laws of the elements, and even important discoveries such as the Newington-Holland equations were difficult for many mid-level mages to understand.

Mages who can't keep up with the times will only be eliminated, which happened once three hundred years ago, and may happen again in a different form today.

All the high-ranking mages sat down one by one, announcing the official start of the meeting, the audience fell silent, the lights dimmed, and then, in the front row of the seats, seven rays of light fell, illuminating the seven positions.

Out of the darkness, seven mages took their seats.

It was the being above all mages, at the pinnacle of magic.

Legendary Mage.
