Scene 454. Afternoon at the Stein Institute
Tower of Rainbow, midsummer.
The city above the clouds is bathed in the scorching sun like fire. Despite the protection of a magic barrier, most of the heat has been transformed into the power to protect the city. Looking up at the dazzling sunshine will still make people feel a sense of heat from the heart.
In the Stein Institute, Robinson was sitting bored on a chair, pulling the neckline at the air outlet of the temperature regulation array, trying to get cooler.
"As long as you are calm inside, you can feel the coolness."
Beside him, the man wearing glasses, Odyssey was holding a book in his hand, looking at Robinson with disdainful behavior.
“It’s so hot this year, I remember not being that hot last year.”
Robinson picked up the "Rainbow Tower Daily" on the table as a fan and glanced at the weather forecast above.
"The highest temperature today is thirty-six degrees. Oh my God, I remember that it was only thirty-four degrees last year? At that time, there was already a drought in the mainland. It seems that artificial rainfall work this year is even harder."
"Some people think that continuous high temperatures are abnormal. Perhaps the exhaust gas emitted by our factories pollutes the environment and causes the scorching heat."
Odyssey said lightly.
"If Euler was there at this time, he would definitely make some sense...ah, it's a pity..."
Robinson sighed as he looked at a corner of the laboratory and had already cleaned up his entire location.
Their colleague and classmate, Euler, was eventually found dead in his home, a huge explosion that destroyed an area including his apartment, where traces of Euler's corpse were also found.
This incident was linked to the official caliber of the previous defection of the high-level mage Enrique Levin. After confirming the traces of magic, Euler did die at Levin. However, people cannot know why Levin killed Euler and why such an explosion occurred.
For Robinson and Odyssey, although Ola is a guy who likes to show off and is petty, he is always his companion. Just such a friend who lives with him day and night no longer exists in an instant, and the impact on them is huge.
On the one hand, Robinson and Odyssey originally thought that the Tower of Rainbow was the safest place in the world. They were already a little lazy and neglected to prevent it, but they did not expect that in this area, a middle-level mage was blatantly killed. According to their teacher Ludwig Stein, the defecting high-level mage Enrique Levin almost caused great damage to the Tower of Rainbow.
On the one hand, this also inspired the two of them to study magic more hard and strive to improve themselves, because only in this way can similar things be effectively prevented.
Of course, hard work is also limitless. At this moment, on this sleepy afternoon, the two of them took advantage of the tea time to start fishing.
"Ah, the teacher asked me to bring you snacks."
At the door of the laboratory, Wendy, wearing a long skirt, walked in with a plate with black tea and snacks. The back of her head was tied up with a light blue ribbon, which seemed to have a bit of mature charm.
"Thank you."
Robinson took the dish with one hand, put it on the laboratory bench, picked up the teapot and poured black tea into two cups.
"Wandy, you're getting more beautiful."
His words made Wendy smile shyly. The ring on Wendy's fingertips reflected the sunlight and showed a little starlight.
She registered to marry the advanced mage Ludwig Stein at the beginning of the new year and is now Mrs. Stein. Despite this, Wendy still works at the front desk, serving tea and water to the mages in the institute. In her words, although her magic level is not high, as long as she can support everyone's research work, it is enough.
"I really envy the teacher. I really want to have a girlfriend when I can marry such a beautiful wife!"
Robinson took a sip of black tea, and the rich and mellow tea made his envy even deeper.
"In this way, many of my classmates are single. I can organize a friendship when I have time. They also respect the intermediate wizards."
Wendy said that they had just graduated, and most of the students remained in the Tower of Rainbow, hoping to find a job. Of course, the competition for the Tower of Rainbow is extremely fierce. Even for higher education institutions like the Tower of Rainbow, less than 10% of the graduates who can successfully stay in the Tower of Rainbow for more than three years each year, and more of them return to their hometown and get an errand in the Magic Association in their hometown.
"Okay, OK, Wendy, you are so nice."
Robinson showed a cheerful smile. He was just outspoken and did not hide anything. Although he was easy to offend people, he was also very easy to communicate.
Odyssey did not participate in this topic. He liked magic more than women. He didn't understand at all. How could women be more attractive than studying elements and magic?
However, black tea is still delicious, Odyssey has to admit.
Wendy said goodbye to the two of them and prepared a new afternoon tea. She came to the third floor of the institute and pushed the door open and walked into Ludwig Stein's office.
"I got some afternoon tea, my dear."
Wendy became more like a virtuous wife at this time, and her arrival made Stein raise his head slightly.
"Thank you, you can take a break first, I'll finish reading this paper."
Stein's originally frowning brow stretched for a moment, but when he lowered his head to continue reading, his face became more and more gloomy.
Wendy sat aside, put her hands on her knees for a while, and saw that Stein was not moving, she stood up and approached him.
“Is something happening at work?”
She saw that Stein seemed quite worried, but she didn't know the reason, so she could only ask this question.
"Um......"
Stein put down the paper in his hand and nodded slightly.
"This is the latest paper by Reiner Ian Gray and his first paper since last year's Higher Parliament."
Stein had many notes on the parchment paper in his hand, and he obviously read it carefully many times.
"ah......"
Wendy was a little panicked. She hurriedly touched Stein's forehead and realized that there was no abnormality before she felt relieved. You know, Reiner Ian Grey's paper was not even spared by the advanced mage. She was afraid that Stein would have an accident because of this.
"I'm fine, don't worry, it's better to say that his paper coincides with some of the ideas I mentioned before, except that Reiner Ian Grey is more in-depth than I have considered it."
As he said that, Stein turned his head and looked at Wendy.
Chapter completed!
