Scene 61. Awards
The annual meetings for the next two days were as usual, but the impact caused by Reiner on the first day did not dissipate. At least several mages who published papers based on the old burning theory gave up their preaching for some reason, making the conference more open.
No one came to Lenner to discuss magic easily. People seemed to be afraid of this mage apprentice. Perhaps it was because Lenner talked and laughed with advanced mages, which made everyone feel a sense of distance from him and dared not communicate rashly.
This made Reiner relax and could focus on understanding the content of the meeting.
Although it is impossible to complete the specific calculation aspect without the assistance of the calculation array, it is still difficult for him to have a simple qualitative understanding of each theories.
The feedback from the world also worked on Reiner. On the night after the meeting the next day, Reiner was lying on the bed and could feel the rushing magic power constantly stirring in his body. Starlight rose from the heart lake, filling the night.
Using the method of martial arts novels on Earth as a metaphor, Reiner is a person who accidentally gained deep internal strength but did not have any martial arts moves. He looked extremely fierce, but in fact he was not beaten.
It is quite difficult to interfere with reality simply by relying on the release of magic. Magic is like a lever, which allows mages to leverage the laws of the world with weak magic. This is why many people have magic reserves that can carry second- and even third-ring magic, but cannot be promoted because they cannot successfully construct the corresponding magic.
If you lose the formula of magic, then no matter how much magic is, it is just a number.
At the third day's meeting, there were even fewer speakers, but for some reason, everyone sat upright, as if waiting for something.
Reiner was not very concerned. He carefully recorded the previous mage about how to improve the heating device to a more precise method. At this time, Lanchester stood up.
"Everyone, the speech session of the meeting ends here. According to convention, the next time should be the time to review the Hornheim Golden Cup this year."
His words completely calmed the venue where he had been discussing quietly. Even Reiner stopped writing because of this atmosphere and looked at the majestic legendary wizard on the podium.
"This year, Lord Cornwall Penzance discovered that using the power of lightning can completely dissociate elements with active properties, and the electrolysis method invented brought several precious elements to us."
Lanchester said, looking at Penzance sitting beside him, and then said.
"His Excellency Maria Instein discovered the element 'Gemuir' in a special ore. Similar to the element 'Redil' previously discovered, this element also has the property of releasing energy outward. Research on this type of element is still shallow, but she undoubtedly opened a door for us."
Everyone's eyes gathered at a woman on the left hand of Lanchester. She looked only thirty years old and graceful, but she had higher achievements than most of the male mages present.
“…We should thank them for their efforts, and it is precisely because of their excellence that we can get closer to the truth.”
Later, Lanchester mentioned several mages, including high-level mages and intermediate-level mages, as if he was counting the achievements of the mercury balance in the alchemy system over the past year.
After saying this, he paused and then spoke.
"But although these achievements are outstanding, the one I will state next is even more breakthrough."
Langchester's eyes swept across the conference hall and saw the figure. He smiled slightly and continued.
"For a long time, we generally believed that wind, water, fire and earth were the four basic elements and the basis for all things. Many discussions derived from this, including the theory of combustion, constitute the cornerstone of alchemy. However, with the discovery of new elements and the development of the alchemy environment, we gradually realized that these theories are not truths, and there are many loopholes that are difficult to repair."
Everyone fell into thinking when they heard what Lanchester said.
The wizard is a person who pursues the truth, but have some people become conservative guardians and abandon the right path?
"I am very glad that in our time, there was such a wizard. Although he was just an apprentice, he used his careful observation and subversion of traditional thinking, bold assumptions and careful verification, thus breaking our past cognition: water is the basic element."
When Lanchester said this, everyone already knew who he was referring to. Many eyes were gathered on Reiner, but the apprentice of the wizard was unmoved and still listened intently.
"It can be said that his discovery completely broke the cornerstone of alchemy that lasted three hundred years, but on this, he established a more stable and accurate cornerstone. More importantly, he showed us a way of thinking, a purely rational and logical construction. Many mages, even though they have been studying magic for many years, still do not have this kind of thinking."
As he said that, Lanchester took out a small, golden wine glass from the black box at hand.
"So, although he is just a mage apprentice and is not even a full member of the Mercury Balance, according to our committee's discussion, it is decided to award him the Hornheim Golden Cup for this year, and he is Reiner Ian Grey."
As soon as the words fell, the applause was thundering.
This is the first time in three hundred years that Hornheim Golden Cup was awarded to a mage apprentice.
Reiner made history.
He was a little surprised. He didn't even know what this Hornheim Golden Cup was for before, so he was so calm.
Judging from the words of Lanchester, this award should be a reward for mages who have achieved success in the alchemy field, and may have a status similar to that of the Earth's Nobel Prize.
The apprentice of the mage won the Hornheim Golden Cup, which is as shocking as a college student winning the Nobel Prize.
However, considering that Reiner discovered two new elements, and also completely renovated the old theories, and proposed the law of conservation of elements, he deserved this award.
Reiner slowly stood up, and amid endless applause, he walked to the podium. This was the second time he had been here in three days. Facing the kind Lanchester, he bowed a little, and then took the handed Hornheim Golden Cup.
The golden cup looks much lighter than the outside. It is decorated with a circle of complex patterns. The elements of "Oakles" and "Hedra" are written in floral characters. At the bottom of the cup, there is a line of small words engraved - I would like to dedicate it to Reiner Ian Grey, who discovered the mystery of water and fire.
As soon as it touched the palm of the palm, a force flowed out of the golden cup and gradually penetrated into Reiner's body.
Obviously, this is a magic prop.
"Tell me about the award, Reiner."
Lanchester took a step back and handed the podium to Reiner.
Chapter completed!
