Act 148. Generous Reiner
After talking to President Dmitry for a few more words, Reiner filled his stomach a little and then went to the terrace to get some breath.
Ernest's nights are much refreshing. The city is built along the river and has abundant water sources. The resulting climate regulation ability makes Ernest's day-night temperature difference smaller. At this time, although it is midsummer, the wind on the terrace is mixed with a little coolness.
"I wonder if Fina and the others have carefully reviewed the exam."
Reiner said to himself that when he decided to stay in Ernest and wait for the meeting to end before returning to school, he sent a letter to Crescent Academy to ensure that those students who took the exam this year could complete the magic test successfully. Of course, in the letter, he also specifically reminded Fina to help Claire more.
Calculate the day and it was time for magic tests. Reiner couldn't help but recall her college entrance examination and felt a little emotional, and then drank the red wine in her glass.
"Mr. Ian Gray, do you have time?"
A strange voice came from behind. Reiner turned around and found that it was a male mage with many silver threads in his hair. His cuffs and five golden edges were shining under the light. This was a mid-level mage.
"Uh, I don't know what the adults are asking me for?"
Reiner hurriedly saluted, how he talked and laughed with high-level mages or even legendary mages, but he was always a low-level mage. It is necessary to maintain respect when facing an existence higher than his level.
"No need to do this, my name is Sullivan, a senior review committee member of the thesis review committee. In fact, the final review opinion of your first paper was written by me."
The man, Sullivan showed a slightly bitter smile and explained to Reiner.
"And your periodic table papers are also passed on to my hands."
"Oh, this is a coincidence."
Reiner sighed that his first paper was quite good, at least the paper review committee approved his paper, otherwise his second paper on electrolytic water would not be taken seriously, and the subsequent series of experiences would have greatly changed.
"I want to explain to you that I am not deliberately backing up your paper, but collecting materials to verify the isotope phenomenon in the paper. I believe you also know that it will take a certain amount of time to test elements from each semi-plane."
Sullivan said slowly, observing Reiner's expression, as if the other party was a high-level mage, and he was just a primary apprentice who had made a mistake.
"I can understand, Lord Sullivan, I didn't come to Mr. Dmitry directly because I didn't get a reply to the paper, but because I happened to meet Ernest meeting, you must understand that if you get a new discovery, you will want to share your mood immediately."
Reiner quickly understood what Sullivan meant.
He can now be regarded as the hottest new star in the mercury balance, and his future prospects are limitless. Sullivan is worried that his actions will make Reiner feel neglected and will be retaliated in the future, so he apologized in such a tactful way.
Naturally, Reiner could not really make things difficult for seniors like those powerful newcomers, and gave Sullivan a step.
"Sir Sullivan, you just said that in order to verify the paper, you collected elements from various semi-planes?"
"Yes, after many different methods, I did find that there is an isotope phenomenon in the elements, but the part about the subsequent elemental rules is a bit ashamed. I can't verify it with my level. I originally wanted to seek help from advanced mages, but I didn't expect you to be one step ahead of me."
When Sullivan saw that Reiner did not mention anything about his dereliction of duty, he began to care about academic issues, and at the same time, he became more satisfied with Reiner.
This is indeed a mage with excellent character.
"I think isotope phenomena are widely present in various elements, but I can't understand one thing, that is, why some elements have several isotopes, and some have only one or two, is there any regularity among them."
Reiner's words were like a flash of lightning, hitting Sullivan.
He had never considered this issue before. In fact, in addition to the few elements mentioned in Reiner's paper, Sullivan also collected several other elements for measurement to eliminate particularity, which delayed the time.
Sullivan did find that the isotope phenomenon exists in a large number of various elements, but he did not count the types of isotopes. It was not until Reiner reminded that he suddenly began to recall that he found that some elements had a lot more isotopes.
"This is indeed a question worth studying."
Sullivan nodded in agreement with some emotion.
He has been engaged in research and paper review in the Alchemy Department for so many years. Even though he personally conducted experiments to verify the isotope phenomenon, he has never thought about the problems mentioned by Reiner. From this point of view, this mage is not only creative and flexible, but more importantly, he has a heart that always maintains the spirit of inquiry.
When discovering a phenomenon, Reiner not only verified this phenomenon, but also focused on the reasons behind it, which many mages lack.
Just like when Madam Maria discovered new elements and advanced, other mages followed suit, but there were very few successful people. At some point, many mages had lost the spirit of exploring the truth, and they only thought about how to advance to higher levels, gain more powerful strength and longer lifespan.
"Due to my strength, this issue may be difficult to study thoroughly for a while, but I think you may try to study it."
Reiner also said that exploring the number of isotopes may involve the internal structure of the element, and many people should join in the near future. He now reminds Sullivan in advance, and is also to sell a favor.
"This...if I have the chance, I will try to study it."
Sullivan nodded slightly. He didn't expect that Reiner would give up such a promising and potential issue to himself. Between the mage, only teachers and students can be so generous. No, even masters and apprentices have had a breakdown of relationships due to academic disputes.
Is Reiner so generous really because he can't study it, or is it because he can't get to know such a research topic?
Indeed, such isotope-based research is an excellent topic for low- and even intermediate-level mages, but for Reiner, who has already written the periodic table paper, the level is indeed a bit low.
It is obviously just a first-level mage, but Colina's vision is already on the same level as those high-level mages.
The wheels of history rolled forward, making Sullivan feel a deeper sense of urgency while taking chances.
