The "Silver Scholars", an academic organization inherited from the Netherel Empire. Since becoming the chief executive organization of the Continental Society for the Promotion of Magic, its reputation has grown from strength to strength, and today it is almost synonymous with the Society of Magic.

Given that the Silver Scholars have a variety of well-established magic academies and laboratories, where many high-ranking arcanists teach and study spells, and the members of the Order benefit from the sharing of knowledge, it is in such an academic environment that "publish or perish" is of the most profound significance.

According to Victor's original idea, he submitted his paper on "analytic geometry" with the intention of joining the "Tower", an organization that attaches the most importance to astrology and mathematical research, but considering his good relationship with Rosa and others, and the importance of the "legendary master" Grant Einstead, Victor's original intention has changed.

After struggling with his heart for a while, Victor still made a decision: "Although I am very interested in mathematics, I also hope to be able to make some progress in the study of arcane arts in other fields...... Therefore, I chose to join the 'Silver Scholars'. ”

Grant nodded with great satisfaction, then looked at the other Great Arcanists with disappointed expressions on their faces, and said with a smile: "As the chief of the Silver Scholars, I welcome you to join Victor on behalf of all the Arcanists in the organization. As a specially introduced Arcanist, you can pick up and select alchemy products, experimental materials, and magical equipment worth 3,000 Arcane Points at the Silver Scholar's HQ. ”

"Tsk, Grant, you silver scholars are really generous!"

"Equivalent exchange," Valentin Brooke said, chatteringly, "compared to the previous Sistil Award winners, the investment of 3,000 Arcane Points ...... This can be regarded as a lot of money! ”

"What do I have to pay?"

Not blinded by this rich reward, Victor calmly asked, "Lord Grant, what is the strength of my one-ring mage...... I can't afford to do it! ”

"Hehehe, don't worry!"

Grant replied while storing 3,000 Arcane Points in the Arcane Badge on Victor's chest, "The organization will provide the necessary protection until the internal members grow up, and at the same time, the members will be required to make the necessary contributions to the organization...... Generally speaking, the organization does not issue mandatory tasks to any members, and members can choose from a variety of options according to their abilities when accepting tasks......

"For an arcane genius like you, Victor, who lacks strength but has unlimited potential, the organization will only issue some symbolic research missions...... For this, you can be completely at ease! ”

Hearing this, "Eyes of the Stars" Felton Antonia interjected: "Victor, you'd better renew your Arcane Emblem, with Lord Grant's reward for 3,000 Arcane Points...... You're one of the youngest mid-level arcanists in history. ”

"Thank you for your advice, Lord Felton." Victor saluted and said, "I'll go through the relevant formalities in a moment." ”

"Don't rush to thank me just yet......"

Felton Antonia explained with a smile, "According to the rules and regulations of the Magical Society, a mid-level arcanist will automatically end all mandatory tasks on him...... In other words, you are no longer a teacher at the Ainsted Academy of Magic......"

"Now that you have regained your 'free body', Victor, I have a personal assignment here that I hope you can accept...... Of course, the remuneration is also relatively generous......"

"Lord Felton, can I get an idea of what kind of mission this is?"

Victor looked at Grant and asked cautiously, "You also know, my strength ......"

"This quest has nothing to do with your strength!"

Felton waved his hand, "That's right, I am currently refining the 'heliocentric theory' theoretically, but in the process of drawing star maps, compiling star catalogs, and observing stars, I have encountered some thorny problems......"

"For example, I found that the bright surface of the sun had changing black spots; The stars are hidden or visible in the sky; The brightness of the stars changes periodically......"

"Although I have preliminarily drawn the basic laws that these celestial bodies follow when they are in motion and their trajectories, there is no good way to verify them...... At this time, the concept of 'analytic geometry', which you proposed by Victor, gave me a new inspiration...... Therefore, I am looking forward to you using this new mathematical tool to test my theory, Victor......"

"It's a good research assignment......

Grant suddenly said to Victor: "Your Excellency's research is just right in line with your talent in the field of mathematics and physics, and I very much agree with Your Excellency's proposal!" ”

Since the two Grand Arcanists had already spoken, of course Victor would not refuse, not to mention that he was also full of curiosity about the progress of astrology, and he took this opportunity to participate in it.

"It's my pleasure!"

Victor bowed his head and said, "After I have renewed my Arcane Emblem and returned to the academy to complete the resignation procedures, I will go to receive the assigned task issued by Lord Felton." ”

"Good!"

Felton Antonia, who received a satisfactory answer, left the Hall of Honor with a happy heart. Subsequently, after saying goodbye to Grant and the others one by one, Victor went to the Mage Management Department located in the fifth district on the first floor of the Tower of Babel to handle matters related to the renewal of the Arcane Emblem.

……

"The winner of the 168th Sistile Honor Award is a young mage who is only seventeen years old!!"

Not long after the "Sistil Award" was awarded, the various internal organizations of the Continental Magic Society, the bishops of the Eternal Temple, and the nobles of the northern countries learned the news through various secret channels.

At this moment, Victor's personal information and related information are placed on the table of the heads of various forces, and as the youngest winner of the "Sistil Honor Award" in history, he is already qualified to be closely valued by all parties.

……

The Temple of Eternity, the Papal Room.

A majestic old man wearing a high crown of gold and precious stones, composed of two half-moon rune fabrics, supplemented by gold threads, dressed in a white gold-rimmed sacrificial robe, and holding a meteoric iron scepter plated with Mithril and decorated with the mark of the stars and moons, is sitting upright on the papal seat, a symbol of divine power.

Below, thirty-six cardinals, dressed in red robes, stood solemnly on either side of the papal chamber.

"Praise be to you! His Majesty the Holy Father, Advocate of Truth, His Majesty the Pope......"

A cardinal with dazzling blond hair said to Paul III, who was seated in the papal seat: "According to the secret report, a new 'blasphemer' has arisen from among the evil heretics...... Is the temple doing what is necessary to purge this low-powered heresy? ”

"My lord has his own arrangement!"

Paul III said in a low voice: "Now we must do our best to ensure the smooth progress of the 'Divine Punishment' plan...... Those heretics who seek to touch the realm of God will be purified by Our Lord!! ”

The thirty-six cardinals of the College of Cardinals exclaimed in unison: "Our Lord is eternal!" ”
