Tower of Rainbow, Mercury Balance Headquarters.

This is a low-key manor, which is rarely passed by, but the silver balance sign hanging on the gate is awe-inspiring. This is the base camp of the mercury balance.

Since flying is not allowed in the Tower of Rainbow, of course, it was almost evening when Fleming arrived here in a carriage.

After passing through the corridor of the manor, Fleming showed his identity to the alchemy statue stationed at the door. The door opened and he walked into the mansion.

"I know, Lord Saffronger, your position will be placed in the third row."

"I swear, damn, I will never do experiments with that guy again, it will kill me!"

"No, no, I'm not targeting you, Mitlanta, we can't squeeze out another seat."

"What? Something happened to the one from the François family? Was it an attack or something?"

"I hope to hear your attitude towards these theories at this meeting. To be honest, Angelina, I am a little confused about the future of alchemy."

"Hey, I got this drink from the southern part of the Astel Kingdom. It tastes so special that you must try it."

......

There are people coming and going in the lobby of the mansion. Many people are discussing the 305th annual meeting of the Mercury Balance that will be held on the shore of Lake Wagner in a week. This is one of the largest academic seminars of the Mercury Balance. Many powerful mages, including advanced mages, will be visited. During the three-day meeting, you can hear the most cutting-edge reports from various academic masters, which can be said to be a magic event.

Fleming was naturally invited, and according to regulations, he could bring a student to the venue, and Fleming's choice was naturally Gallon.

"Mr. Ernst, I have read your assumptions about the fire element. I'm very bold. If you can find experimental verification, then I think you will definitely be able to get a Hornheim Golden Cup."

A mage with five phthalm edges on his cuffs met Fleming and greeted him. He was a rotating clerk who was responsible for the reception work.

The Hornheim Golden Cup is a reward within the mercury balance to reward those mages who have made outstanding achievements in the alchemy system. If nothing unexpected happens this year, the Hornheim Golden Cup should be obtained by electrolysis. The wizard is just a commercial flattery.

Of course, if Fleming could really perfect the combustion theory and even find the element of fire, he would probably get a Hornheim Gold Cup, but that was obviously too far away.

"Don't be polite to me, where is Mr. Farest, where is Mr. Dmitry?"

Fleming asked.

"His Excellency Dmitry and the others are having a meeting. I think you'd better go back later..."

He wanted Fleming to sit and wait for a while, but his serious expression made the Fifth Ring Mage, named Farast, feel the seriousness of the matter. He nodded and replied immediately.

"Please follow me."

They walked through the crowded hall, climbed up to the third floor, and came to the door of a conference room. Faraster knocked on the door until the sound of allowing entry came from inside that he slowly pushed open the door, allowing Fleming to enter the conference room, and then waited at the door.

The conference room was very bright. In the evening, the afterglow of the sunset was shining into this spacious conference room through the large floor-to-ceiling windows. Fleming saw Frederick Dmitry sitting on the side of the long table, the Nine Ring Mage, and the leader of the mercury balance.

But before he could speak, he noticed the others in the room and was suddenly panicked.

Because it was not someone else, but the advanced mages at the top of the mercury balance.

Maria Instein, a high-level wizard of the Seventh Ring, she discovered two new elements from the ore, with some energy leakage properties, and was promoted to the higher level. She is one of the few high-level female mages on the mercury balance.

Cornwall Penzance, a senior wizard of the Seventh Ring, has made great achievements in the field of alchemy. His latest achievement is to invent electrolysis and dissociate the new element "Keira" from caustics. He is one of the powerful candidates for the Hornheim Golden Cup this year.

Robert Leedsmo, an advanced mage of the Eighth Ring, first discovered the mystery of vacuum and the first to propose the theory that the volume of air changes with pressure. Among the magic of wind, twenty-nine items were named after him.

Eagles Field, a high-level wizard of the Nine Rings, is most famous for proposing the concept of elements and elemental quality, which triggered a frenzy of element discovery that has continued to this day.

And Lanchester Stanien, located at one end of the long table, although the legendary wizard is no longer the leader of the mercury balance, he still participates in related meetings as an authoritative of the alchemy department.

There are also students of these high-level wizards here, only Lord Cornwall Penzance came alone.

"Fleming, why are you so panicked?"

Frederick Dmitry asked with concern that he was gentle and calm, and even if Fleming's arrival interrupted the process of the meeting, he had no intention of pursuing it.

"Well, my priest, my student Gallon received a review paper, and I think it is necessary to show you."

Fleming was like a humble student at this time, and said with his head down slightly.

"Review papers? Why do such things need to be reviewed by advanced mages? Are those guys on the paper review board for free?"

Cornwall Penzance asked back, he was not targeting Fleming. The academic paper review committee had already established a corresponding mechanism to review papers. Unless it was a new paper by a high-level wizard, it would be impossible to pass it here. Since the original reviewer of this paper was Fleming's student, it means that this is a paper by a low-level wizard. In Penzance's eyes, this level of paper is indeed not qualified for them to review.

Of course, sometimes some of your Excellency will cultivate their students and allow them to be reviewed by advanced mages, so Cornwall also asked more.

“Which student’s paper is it?”

"Not someone's student... Actually, this is a wizard apprentice's paper."

Fleming was no longer afraid to speak, as if every word he said would detonate an explosive.

"Master Apprentice? Fleming, are you serious?"

Cornwall raised his eyebrows, and there seemed to be lightning flashing in the air.

"Wait, since Fleming is so panicked, I think this paper may indeed have some value. Didn't we set up the paper review mechanism that we wanted to break the shackles? If we stick to these rules, wouldn't we fall into our own cage?"

Lanchester Stanien spoke, causing others to stop speaking and fell silent.

This is the majesty of the legendary wizard.

"Fleming, take the paper and let's take a look."

After hearing the command of the legendary wizard, Fleming took out the paper in his hand.

Dozens of pages of paper flew up with an invisible force. Lanchester waved his hand, and the paper and pen in a corner of the room flew, quickly printing five copies of the paper and flew into the hands of several advanced mages.

Frederick held his glasses and got the paper, and first saw the title.

"Analysis of the properties and compounds of two new elements obtained by electrolyzed water, "Oakles" and "Hedra", as well as several conjectures about combustion theory."

"Electrolyzed water?"
