What they didn't know was that Alvin didn't care about any comments, what really attracted him was the content of the paper, especially the concept of "differential geometry", which instantly reminded him of the ancient magic rune that he couldn't complete, and if he continued to study it in this way, he could definitely make a breakthrough!

Before he knew it, Alvin's hands began to shake slightly.

Seeing that he didn't react for a long time, the tall man thought that something was wrong, and said tentatively: "Minister, minister, what's wrong?"

Alvin suddenly came back to his senses, and was about to speak, when a soft female voice came out of the roof loudspeaker: "Mr. Capote Levindos of the Research Department has requested that an interim review meeting be convened, and the members of the review board are invited to meeting 703. ”

"Capote's request for an impromptu meeting, didn't it just finish?" Alvin was a little puzzled, but quickly reacted that the other party must have also seen the paper and wanted to gather people to discuss it.

The Calent's headquarters consists of eight departments, namely People, Alchemy, Research, Diplomacy, Enforcement, Finance, Auditing, and General Management. The ministers of these eight departments, together with the five senior mages of the Senate, make up the thirteen-member Supreme Council, so these people are also called councillors.

Generally speaking, a council is held to discuss only when there is a problem with a heavy decision-making problem, or when there is a groundbreaking discovery or invention.

"This paper is really worthy of a council. Alvin looked at the newspaper in his hand, and before he had time to think about it, he walked to the seventh floor of the Magior's building.

However, since his general management department was on the first floor, the farthest from the conference room, when Alvin arrived, there was already a heated discussion among the directors. They are the Minister of Alchemy, Dicaria, the Minister of Audit, the Minister of Audit, the Minister of Research, Capote, and the two Senators, Cummington and Hallomes.

"I don't see anything good about this paper. My invention is in a pinch, Capote, you call me for this?" spoke to the Minister of Alchemy, Dicaria, a short, thin man who would almost be mistaken for a dwarf if it weren't for the normal proportions of his head and body.

As soon as the words fell, the others suddenly let out a chuckle, if it weren't for the fact that the other party was also a director, they would definitely say in unison: "Smokey head." ”

"Dicaria, you should really study mathematics and spend your days tinkering with alchemical inventions. What's the use?" Capote snorted and continued, "The point of view in this paper is very unique and very valuable for discussion. But since you're here, don't leave, and if you don't understand, it's okay to close your eyes and sleep. ”

Dicaria rolled her eyes at Capote, but she actually closed her eyes and fell asleep.

The head of the audit department, Xin Klei, is a middle-aged woman with a very ordinary appearance, but her voice is soft and pleasant: "The problem is. Who is this Leo Mineshir? Has anyone heard of him?"

"I don't know. ”

"Haven't heard of it. ”

Several people shook their heads.

Capote thought for a moment and guessed, "Maybe it's a mage who studies independently and rarely has contact with the outside world, otherwise why would he publish this kind of paper in the Junior Mage Weekly?"

At this time. Alvin walked in and interjected, "Actually, this Leo Minerhil is not a mage who studies independently, but a candidate for this joint entrance examination. ”

"What do you say. Alvin, I heard him right, he's a candidate?" Sinclair looked incredulous. And except for Dicaria, who doesn't care and doesn't want to listen. The other three were also very surprised.

Capote hurriedly asked, "Alvin, how do you know?"

Alvin was very proud of his knowledge, smiled and explained: "Because I happened to read two other articles published by him a while ago, both of which were very accomplished, I checked the information and memorized the name by the way." ”

The very old Cummington sighed, "No wonder, it's a young man." Being able to come up with the idea of applying calculus in this way made me feel like I saw a whole new path. ”

Hallomes, who is also over a hundred years old, nodded approvingly: "Yes, I think so too." ”

Due to their age, the two senators no longer hold any substantive positions, but they are both level 8 mages, who have specialized in magic all their lives, have a wide range of natural knowledge, and can also understand the importance of differential geometry.

Capote glanced at the head of the review department, and said with a smile: "I said Xinclai, this is a serious mistake of your review department, such an excellent paper, but it was not submitted?"

Sinclair frowned, thought for a moment, and replied, "Actually, this paper has definitely not been sent for review, otherwise I wouldn't be impressed." ”

Capote's answer to Sinclair's answer was immediately accepted, after all, after working together for so many years, everyone knew their temperament. Since Sinclair said that it was not submitted, it should indeed be the case, and he did not dwell on this question more, but said strangely: "Publish it directly without submitting it for review? ”

Sincley looked regretful: "Who said it wasn't." Maybe he doesn't know how to review it and get points. ”

As soon as Alvin saw that he was going to go off-topic, he immediately said: "Okay, let's not talk about this for now, let's discuss the specific value of this paper." ”

Senator Hallomeis was the first to say: "I think that when this differential geometry matures and becomes full, it will become a whole new branch of mathematics." ”

Hallomeis was highly respected and deeply studied mathematics, and when he said this, he immediately attracted the approval of everyone.

Alvin added, "If you follow this direction of differential geometry, it is entirely possible to decipher some ancient runes. ”

"Hehe, do you have this idea too?" Capote looked at Alvin with a smile, "Why don't we compete and see who can crack it first?"

Alvin glanced at the other party, this head of the research department is good at everything, but he is too competitive and likes fame and fortune. He directly ignored the other party's invitation and said, "I propose this paper to be submitted to Lordanren, if it can be reprinted by "Magic Light", it will have a certain benefit on the impact of our magic society." ”

The more rational Sinclair's eyes lit up, and she nodded: "It makes sense, this Leo Minethiel, we should pay close attention to him and strive to establish a certain connection with him first." ”

As soon as Capote saw that Alvin had no intention of competing with himself at all, he also put aside this idea and said to Hinckley: "Do you want to reissue academic points? ”

Sinklay thought for a moment and agreed, "It's okay to get guò, I'll do this when I get back to the ministry." However, although the significance of this paper is heavy, the overall structure is still a bit thin, if it is evaluated according to the paper standards issued by Lordaeron, it can get full marks in terms of innovation, but I am afraid that it will not get many points in other aspects, which may not match its own meaning. ”

Hearing her say this, everyone looked distressed. Since the birth of the academic title system, the review of papers has been carried out in strict accordance with Lordaeron's standards, otherwise it would not be recognized by Lordaeron. And if the Magician of Calente would modify the scoring criteria on his own, although the author could get the title of Magister as soon as possible, it would be completely impossible to advance to the top of the ranks.

"Alas, there is indeed a problem with this standard of Lordaeron, and I don't know when they will revise it. Alvin sighed, and an idea suddenly popped up, and he said, "Otherwise, how about awarding him the Rising Star Award as compensation?"

The Rising Star Award is an award created by the Spiritual Council of Calories to recognize someone's inventive discovery that is magically heavy. As their own awards, they have the right to give them to anyone, without having to submit them to Lordaeron for review, and most of them have won them.

However, in the history of the Magician Council of Calent, most of the winners were high-level mages, and there were also a small number of intermediate mages, but no junior mages had ever won an award. Capote immediately hesitated, "This...... Will it be a little too much, since he is a candidate, he should still be very young, and it is impossible to reach the intermediate level, so I am afraid that it will cause criticism. ”

Dicaria, who had been sleeping with his head covered, suddenly raised his head and asked in a loud voice, "Rising Star Award?"

"Yes, the Rising Star Award. Alvin gave Dicaria a strange look, and then turned to the crowd: "I don't think it's at all. Although this paper is only an illustration of a way of thinking, we can all see its groundbreaking and great significance. And I think it can be applied not only to deciphering ancient runes, but also to make a breakthrough in space magic. ”

Without waiting for the others to speak, Dicaria exclaimed excitedly, "I agree!"

"Do you agree?" everyone looked at the councillor, who had no right to speak, and didn't understand what was going on.

Dicaria didn't care and smiled: "I just have a brand new invention, which can be used as a prize, but the materials and funds need to be provided by the finance department." ”

"......" The crowd was completely speechless.

Capote thought about it, and felt that Alvin's words made sense, but after all, the relationship was serious, so he said: "Now there are six people, not more than half, can't vote, this issue will be put on hold for the time being, and the weekly meeting will be discussed when everyone arrives, and it is best to ask the general chairman what he means, and this is all for today." ”

"Well, if nothing else, then I'll go back and review this paper first. Hinkley said.

"Well, I'm going to go back and study and see if I can crack that ancient rune. Alvin was also a little impatient.

Everyone was about to stand up when a junior mage in his thirties suddenly knocked on the door and walked in.

Seeing that it was his subordinate, Sinclair couldn't help but wonder, "Pigne, why did you come here?"

Pigne glanced at everyone and said very worriedly, "Ladies and gentlemen...... That's right, when I was scoring in the joint examination before, there was a candidate's score, and I seemed to be wrong. ”

After a short silence, Alvin was the first to react, patted his head and said: "Hehe, I seem to understand, this Leo Mineshir is completely afraid that he will not get a score, so he published the paper, and deliberately showed it to us." (To be continued......)
