Agnes' hand holding the glass hung in the air, and Edgar smiled coldly and did not speak.

As for the other students, after hearing Reiner's words, they all looked at Baptiste, and it was probably only Elimia, who did not raise her head, and was still eating the food on her plate.

The children on the side were not aware of the situation at all, and still enjoyed their lunch happily, which was in stark contrast to this place.

Jane opened her mouth, thinking to herself about this Reiner. Even if Ian Gray is really as sharp as the rumors say, it's too flamboyant, right?

Their magical expedition was nominally here to examine Baptiste's papers, but it would have to be a matter of a few days later, when they had enough observations.

Besides, Baptiste is a four-ring mage, at the same level as Agnes and the others, no matter what, he has to be a little merciful, and the results of the investigation will not be too ugly.

But Reiner said that he had different opinions this time, isn't it a bit too faceless?

Baptiste asked, smiling and quiet.

"I've heard that Mr. Ian Grey has a very deep understanding of magical theory despite his young age, so I wonder what your opinion is on the evolution of living things?"

He didn't seem angry, but calm, as if his theory was complete and not afraid of any questioning.

Hearing Baptiste's inquiry, Reiner shrugged his shoulders and said as if you had asked me to speak.

"The core idea of the theory is that in order to adapt to the environment, organisms will continue to evolve themselves, and the internal reason lies in the organisms themselves, and birds have evolved stronger wings in order to fly faster, and because they do not need to run on the ground, their legs gradually degenerate into claws, which seems to be very consistent with the status quo."

Reiner first explained Baptiste's theory to show that he had read the paper, and then changed the conversation and continued.

"At the same time, this theory shows us the corollary that humans can decide the direction of evolution according to their own will."

This is a corollary that is not mentioned in Baptiste's paper, but it is easy to understand.

If living beings really evolve because of regular use, then humans can naturally continue to train for the abilities they want, and eventually gain the corresponding strength.

Edgar was stunned, this inference seemed very difficult to accept, but it was true, if Baptiste's theory was true, then this inference would be easy to obtain, because if even animals can evolve through long-term use, why can't humans evolve in the same way.

"For example, human beings who have been in the water for a long time should be able to gradually evolve a body that adapts to the underwater environment, but in fact, in addition to being able to swim faster and be more familiar with the nature of the water, the body structure of these people is no different from that of ordinary people.

Reiner's words caused the crowd to ponder, indeed, according to Baptiste's theory, since living things can evolve in a short period of time due to the regular use of certain organs, then those fishermen who have lived by the sea for a long time should have been different, but so far, there have been no reports of this.

In a moment of hesitation, people looked at Baptiste, hoping that he could give a reasonable explanation.

Baptiste still maintained a kind expression, bowing slightly, and did not immediately dismiss Reiner's claim.

"It's true that I've discovered this vulnerability before, so I've done some experiments and theoretical improvements for it, and you can see the results in this research in the next few days."

"With that, I'm looking forward to it even more."

Agnes hurriedly rounded the round, and she raised her goblet, which still had most of the red wine, and said.

"Let's toast to Mr. Baptiste's hospitality."

The others quickly understood Agnes' intentions and raised their glasses as well.

Reiner smiled and didn't continue, since Baptiste said that he had tinkered with the theory, it would be okay to observe it any more, he gently lifted his glass, shaking the red liquid in it.

Arymia glanced at Reiner and said nothing.

……

Late at night, Reiner came to the windowsill with a cup of black tea.

Outside the window, the storm is still there, and the rain clicks on the glass, making a continuous knocking sound, such a rain curtain is at first concerning, but once you get used to it, it will become a background sound suitable for sleeping.

Reiner used to love this kind of rainy weather, he was in a room, a lamp, a book, a cup of tea, and a night would pass quickly, but at this time, many things were haunting his mind, and Reiner could not sleep.

He thought of the children he saw during the day, these children who were destined to die young, who did not know whether they knew their fate or not, and their cheerful and lively laughter became the greatest contrast, which made people sigh.

Reiner didn't have much medical research, and he didn't know if there was a cure for the disease, but he still had some respect for Baptiste, who was willing to take these children in and continue to research treatments.

However, this has nothing to do with whether Baptiste's paper can pass the review, Reiner is not completely denying the theory of using the theory of entry and waste, but what he has learned so far is that this theory does have major flaws, and if Baptiste does not make appropriate corrections, then the paper must be difficult to pass.

In addition, according to Baptiste, the Erasmus Halfplane is at the intersection of the rainy and dry seasons, and this rainstorm will be the last rain of the year, and there will be no more rain in Erasmus for the next six months until the following year.

The rain showed no sign of stopping, and Reiner wondered how the rain would end.

He stood in front of the window and waited for a while, and when he saw that the rain had not changed, he lay down on his bed, and soon fell asleep.

……

In a corner of the institute, in a laboratory, Windsor was drowsy, and on the table in front of her was a mountain of materials, the student seemed to be sorting out the research materials for his teacher so that they could be consulted by the members of the magical expedition the next day, which had been obtained after the submission of the paper, so they needed to be handled with more care.

But obviously, Windsor, who had eaten too much dinner and drank a little wine, could no longer support it at this time.

She fell to the test bench with a thud and fell asleep, the rainstorm outside the window seemed to no longer exist, only the golden dreamland warmed her.

At this moment, the door to the laboratory was gently opened, and Baptiste entered, who had wanted to call his student by name, but found that she was asleep, so he did not make a sound.

Looking at the materials on the table, Baptiste nodded slightly, and then, he took a thin blanket from the next lounge, draped it over Windsor's body, and slowly left the laboratory.
