"Everyone, to be honest, the most unexpected thing to get this award should be myself."

Reiner had no preparation, so it was all on the spot, and he tried to recall some of the classic acceptance speeches, but ultimately decided to speak according to his true thoughts.

"Whether it is the discovery of carbon gas or the discovery that water can be electrolyzed, these achievements are not only I can do, everyone here can find that from this point of view, my personal struggle is insignificant, the renewal of theory is a historical process, even if I do not electrolyze water today, tomorrow, in the near future, there will be other people to do the same thing."

It's both humility and thinking, he says.

"So, I'm just a little lucky, and I'm a little scared to get this award, but despite this, I still want to thank all of you at Mercury Scales, thank you High Mage, and thank you Lord Stenion for being able to award me this award, but I think it's not just an affirmation of me personally, but more of an affirmation of my will to pursue the truth."

Reiner knew that he was simply interpreting the knowledge of the earth in a way that was adapted to the world, so there was an implicit meaning in his words.

"Of course, since you have given me this award, I will also use this to encourage myself in my future studies and work, and I hope to make more contributions, and finally, I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart."

Bending down again, Reiner took a few steps back and ended his speech with a very humble gesture.

Taking the lead in applauding, Lanchester did not let Reiner return to his seat, but instead sat in the front row on the side of the podium with the other high-ranking mages.

Later, Lanchester announced several special awards, most of which were named after a certain honorable person, in recognition of mages who had made outstanding contributions in certain fields, at least Reiner saw awards for the improvement of alchemical laboratory equipment and awards for advances in the study of metal elements.

The meeting ended in the early afternoon, and Reiner was left behind by Frederick.

"The Hohenheim Gold Cup is more than just a trophy, you must have felt it, it has the power of magic."

Frederick said, telling Reiner to take out the gold cup and place it on the table.

"There are four spells attached to this gold cup, and it has a special function."

He asked Reiner to engrave his magic signature into the gold cup, and then tapped the cup, which quickly dissolved into a fluid mass of metal, condensing into a ring.

"This is a five-ring spell, the twisted hand of Isaris, which can turn the golden cup into an arbitrary shape of equal mass, and requires very little magic to use, so it is easy for you to carry."

Reiner nodded, although he didn't understand the principle of this spell, but from the point of view of the same mass, it seemed to be more like some kind of physical change.

"The golden cup is also engraved with two spells that are actively released, one is Lanchester's Eternal Blazing Sun, the Four Rings Spell, His Excellency Stanion has specially improved it, relying on the magic stored in the golden cup, the mage apprentice can release it twice a day, the destructive power of this spell, I recommend not using it lightly unless you meet someone who really wants your life."

Frederick quipped, and it was clear that the spell should be very powerful.

Reiner had seen a ring spell in Piram's hands, which already had the power to kill a person completely, and the four ring spell must have amazing destructive power.

"There is also Frederick's Mist Barrier, which is a four-ring spell I created, which can effectively block most projectile attacks from the outside, and can also blur the user's figure, which is considered a defensive spell, of course, it has also been improved, and the mage apprentice can use it twice a day."

With that, Frederick handed the Hohenheim Gold Cup, which had been turned into a ring, into Reiner's hand.

"The last spell is Herman's Plastic Energy Array, this is the six-ring magic circle, which does not need to be actively released, as long as the golden cup is in contact with you, then it can continue to absorb power from the outside world and transform it into pure magic, part of which is stored in the golden cup to release other spells, and the other part will gradually penetrate into your body and transform into your magic power, of course, it can also be injected into other enchanted props."

This feature is obviously designed for mage apprentices like Reiner, speeding up his promotion process and ensuring the stability of the Hohenheim Gold Cup itself.

Feeling the slightest coolness flow from the ring to his fingertips, Reiner felt that this was the most practical function.

"The last special ability that all Hohenheim Gold Cups have, that is, the high-level mages who can directly contact the mercury balance under special circumstances, and you can use this function to call for help when you encounter an inextricable danger, and your nearest Excellency will help you."

Retracting the preface, Reiner now thinks that this is the most practical ability, you must know that the magic in this world is ever-changing, and Reiner has not received professional training in magic combat, and it is a little unrealistic to rely on two four-ring spells to protect himself.

And this thigh-hugging function is most suitable for Reiner, Frederick said that this is the ability that every Hohenheim Gold Cup has, so from the side, awarding Reiner this gold cup also means that he will be under the protection of the mercury scale.

To put it simply, it's to tell the other person that we're covered.

This deterrent is far more useful than giving Reiner various magic items.

"Reiner, there are many people who have been as outstanding as you in the past, and have achieved great achievements at a young age, but the vast majority of them have not become high-level mages, and some have even died young, you know, when a young man becomes famous, all kinds of fame and benefits will follow, and people who do not have much experience can easily get lost in it."

Frederick kindly reminded that Frederick nodded a few words, although judging by Reiner's statement, he was more humble than his peers, and even many of the older mages.

Genius is not uncommon in this world, what is rare is the genius who works hard and diligently, and perseveres.

"I know, Lord Dmitry, I'll take this as a warning."

Reiner bowed his head, he knew that he was just a theoretical porter at the moment, and he also knew the importance of making a fortune in a muffled voice, and solid progress was what he needed.

He left the conference hall with Frederick, but before he could leave the manor, he saw a mage in charge of the reception hurrying in, it was none other than Anton, who had received Reiner before. Ferrer.

"Hello, Lord Dmitry."

He first saluted Frederick and then looked at Reiner, the news of his Hohenheim Gold Cup had spread, and Anton was a little envious.

"Mr. Ian Gray, there's a lady out there looking for you."
