Act 205. look for
Glancing at the table of contents and the paper Cedric handed over, Reiner quickly knew which one had not been found.
"Research on the Integrated Equation of Curvilinear Motion", paper number UTXA0096357, by Cialis Brown. Oldman, classified in the system of laws. ”
Reiner looked at the catalog and whispered.
"I'm sorry, I don't know what the situation is, this should be in the database, and the number is confirmed, but I can't find the paper."
Cedric was a little flustered, not only because Reiner did not find the papers, but also because he was the head of the archives, but he had lost the archived papers during his tenure, which was a serious dereliction of duty.
"I'll take a look at these first, Mr. Cedric, and when they're registered, please let me know, and I'll wait here."
Reiner said, then opened the first paper in his hand without saying anything more.
This made Cedric break out in a cold sweat, and he turned around tremblingly, glanced at Reiner, who was focused on reading the paper, before hurrying up to the second floor to supervise the registration of the paper.
Reiner was a fast reader, the level of these dissertations was not high, many of them were things that had been studied before, and it was rare to see what was of interest, and in less than an hour, Reiner had gone through all the papers.
"The central idea of Miss Sool's thesis is the application of Alberton's three laws to curvilinear motion, and it seems that her inspiration is the undiscovered paper."
Talking to himself, Reiner put away his papers, placed them on the coffee table on the side, and fell into thought.
"This paper is obviously the graduation thesis of a student at the Asterl High School of Magic, why can't I find it here? Since it wasn't in the database, how did Miss Soule see the paper? ”
Many questions swirled in Reiner's mind, and he looked at the catalog again before Cedric hurried down the stairs.
"Judge, the registration has been completed, and here is the list."
Cedric handed Reiner a document with the corresponding paper and paper number, as long as he had this, he could quickly look up the corresponding paper.
"About the paper I didn't find......"
Before he could speak, Cedric leaned closer to Reiner and whispered.
"I looked for it again and found out that it was actually a historical legacy."
"Historical legacy?"
Reiner wondered how he could still have such a situation in his graduation thesis.
"That's right, my lord, and I'm ashamed to say that about ten years ago, the management of archives was not so strict, and there was once a matter of money being exchanged for registering papers."
Cedric explained that at that time, some nobles or merchants would find people to write papers and spend money to operate them in order to show their knowledge or other reasons, and that the Asterl High School of Magic naturally had some of these papers.
Over time, this became the grey income of the archives, which lasted for several years.
"It wasn't until three years ago that the school investigated this matter and removed all these papers from the archives against the list."
Cedric had apparently been questioned about the matter, and seemed to be apprehensive at this point.
"I think this paper might be one of them."
Hearing his words, Reiner immediately asked.
"So where do the rejected papers go?"
Reiner didn't know about this Siris. Why did Oldman pay to "buy" his paper into the archives, but from what is known so far, the ideas about curvilinear motion in that paper are very valuable, and Reiner felt that he had to see what the paper was about anyway.
"Well, both the copy and the original, destroyed."
Cedric said, making Reiner chuckle.
"Destroyed ......"
Think about it, most of the papers bought with money in this way are empty language, shoddy, and more importantly, non-compliant, and the school naturally has no obligation to keep them, so it is reasonable to destroy them.
"It seems that I can only go to him and ask him."
Reiner shrugged helplessly and looked at Cedric.
"Do you know where to find information about graduates, such as student registration offices or something?"
"Yes, just north of the archives, in a small five-story building, all the graduates are registered at the school and where they graduated."
Cedric said hurriedly, for fear of snubbing Reiner.
"Thank you."
Reiner packed his things, made sure that the papers sent from the jury were correct, and walked out of the archives and headed north.
"I hope this Siris. Mr. Oldman's student status has not been cleared. ”
Thinking to himself, Reiner thought things were a little strange, and he walked into the small modern building, and soon found the office that managed student information.
"What, a graduate who doesn't know when he graduated?"
After Reiner explained his intentions and showed off his jury badge, the female mage who received him widened her eyes.
She was the only one in the office, and when Reiner knocked on the door and entered, the mage seemed to be looking at some kind of woman, and was hurriedly stuffing a book into a drawer, and she listened to Reiner's request, and her face was embarrassed.
"It can take a little time, after all, we have a very high number of graduates every year......
She tactfully persuaded, but Reiner was unmoved.
"It's okay, I can wait."
Reiner said, leaving the mage slightly stunned.
She stood up and went to the room next door to the office, and after about half an hour, she said with a yellowed document.
"Siris. Oldman, that's his profile. ”
Reiner took the information and immediately read it.
This Cialis. Oldman studied at the Asterl High School of Magic twelve years ago, graduated eight years ago, to be precise, he did not graduate normally, because his graduation thesis did not pass the audit, so he did not get the school's diploma in the end, as for his whereabouts, it is unknown.
"Whereabouts unknown?"
Reiner looked at the mage, trying to get an explanation.
"It's normal that we only register graduates who have a clear place of work or find a supervisor, such as those who have returned to their hometowns to be unemployed or engaged in independent research, are unknown."
She said, the look on her face as if to tell Reiner that it was none of her business.
"Okay."
Looks like the clue is broken here, Reiner thought.
But the mage spoke again.
"Maybe you can ask his thesis supervisor, he should know where this person is."
Hearing this, Reiner glanced at the form on the student registration information again, and in the tutor column, it was written Leo. Puerdo's name.
If Reiner remembered correctly, it was supposed to be the name of the vice-principal of the Asterl High School of Magic.
