After a few more conversations with President Dmitry, Reiner filled his stomach a little, and then went to the terrace to breathe.

Ernest's nights are much cooler, the city is built along the river, the city has an abundant water source, and the resulting ability to regulate the climate makes Ernest's temperature difference between day and night smaller, at this time, although it is the height of summer, the wind on the terrace is mixed with a little coolness.

"I don't know if Fina and the others are serious about studying for the exam."

Reiner said to himself that when he decided to stay with Ernest and wait for the meeting to go back to school, he sent a letter to Crescent Academy, asking Claire to make sure that the students who took the exam this year would successfully complete the magic test, and of course, in the letter, he also specifically told Fina to help Claire a lot.

Counting the days, it was also the time for the magic test, Reiner couldn't help but recall the time when he took the college entrance examination, and then drank the red wine in the cup.

"Mr. Ian Gray, do you have time?"

An unfamiliar voice came from behind him, and Reiner turned around to find that it was a male mage with a lot of silver strands in his hair, and his cuffs and five gold edges shimmered in the light, this was a mid-level mage.

"Uh, I wonder what the adults are looking for me?"

Reiner hurriedly saluted, how could he talk and laugh with high-level mages and even legendary mages, but he was still a low-level mage, and it was very necessary to maintain respect in the face of existences higher than his rank.

"No, my name is Sullivan, a senior reviewer of the dissertation review committee, and in fact, I wrote the final review opinion for your first paper."

Man, Sullivan explained to Reiner with a slightly bitter smile.

"And your periodic table paper has also been passed on to me."

"Oh, that's a coincidence."

Reiner lamented that his first paper evaluation was not bad, at least the paper review committee let his paper pass, otherwise his second paper on electrolyzed water might not have attracted attention, and the subsequent series of experiences would have changed dramatically.

"I want to explain to you that I am not deliberately backlogging your papers, but I am collecting materials to verify the isotopic phenomena in your papers, and you must be aware that it takes a certain amount of time to test elements from various half-planes."

Sullivan said slowly, observing Reiner's expression as if the other party was a high-level mage, and he was just a junior apprentice who had made a mistake.

"I can understand, Lord Sullivan, that I did not go directly to His Excellency Dmitry because the paper had not received a reply for a long time, but because it happened to be the Ernest meeting, you must also understand the feeling that when you get a new discovery, you will want to share it with others immediately."

Reiner quickly understood what Sullivan meant.

He is now the hottest star in the Mercury Scales, and his future is uncertain, and Sullivan fears that his actions will make Reiner feel sluggish and retaliated against in the future, so he apologizes so tactfully.

Naturally, Reiner couldn't really be like those powerful newcomers who made things difficult for their seniors everywhere, and appropriately gave Sullivan a step down.

"Lord Sullivan, just now you said that you collected elements from various half-planes in order to verify the paper?"

"That's right, I have measured many times in different ways, and I did find that there are isotopic phenomena in the elements, but the part about the laws of the elements in the back is a little ashamed, and I can't verify it at my level, I originally wanted to seek the help of high-level mages, but I didn't expect you to be one step ahead of me."

Sullivan was relieved to see that instead of mentioning anything about his dereliction of duty, Reiner began to care about academic issues, and at the same time, he felt a little more identified with Reiner as a person.

This is indeed a mage of great character.

"I think isotope phenomena are widespread in all elements, but one thing I can't figure out is why some elements have several isotopes and some have only one or two, and whether there are patterns in them."

Reiner's words struck Sullivan like a bolt of lightning.

He had never thought about it before, and in fact, Sullivan had collected several elements to measure in addition to the ones mentioned in Reiner's paper to rule out peculiarities, which delayed time.

Sullivan did discover that isotope phenomena existed in large quantities among various elements, but he did not count the types of isotopes until Reiner reminded him, and he suddenly began to recall, and found that there were indeed some elements that were much more isotope.

"It's really a question worth looking into."

With some emotion, Sullivan nodded in agreement.

He has been engaged in the research and review of papers in the alchemy department for so many years, and even though he has personally done experiments to verify the isotope phenomenon, he has not thought about the problems mentioned by Reiner, so it seems that this mage is not only creative and flexible, but more importantly, he has a heart that always maintains a spirit of inquiry.

When discovering a phenomenon, Reiner not only verifies the phenomenon, but also focuses on the reasons behind the phenomenon, which many mages lack.

Just as Lady Maria discovered a new element and advanced, other mages followed suit, but few succeeded, and at some point, many mages have lost the spirit of seeking the truth, and only think about how to advance to the higher ranks, gain greater power and live longer.

"Due to my strength, this issue may not be thoroughly studied for a while, but I think you may be able to try to study it, Lord Sullivan."

Reiner added that exploring the number of isotopes may involve the internal structure of the element, and that many people should be involved in it in the near future, and that he is now waking up Sullivan in advance to sell a favor.

"This ...... I'll try to look into it if I have the chance. ”

Sullivan bowed slightly, he didn't expect Reiner to directly give up such a promising and potential topic to himself, between mages, I am afraid that only teachers and students can be so generous, no, even if it is a master and apprentice, there have been times when the relationship was severed due to academic disputes.

Is it really because he can't study Reiner, who is so generous, or is such a research topic out of sight?

It is true that such isotope-based research is an excellent subject for low-level and even mid-level mages, but for Reiner, who has already written a treatise on the periodic table, it is indeed a bit low-level.

Obviously he was only a first-order mage, but Kelena's vision was already on the same level as those high-level mages.

The wheels of history rolled forward, and Sullivan felt a deeper sense of urgency in addition to being lucky.
