Chapter 49 Meeting That Is Interrupted

Rainbow Tower, Mercury Balance Headquarters.

This was a low-key manor with a few people passing by usually, but the silver balance logo hanging on the gate was awe-inspiring. Here was the headquarters of the mercury balance.

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

Across the corridor of the manor, Fleming showed his identification to the alchemy stone statue stationed at the door. Then the door opened, and he walked into the mansion.

"I know, Sir Sulfuron, you will be placed in the third row."

"Damn it, I swear I will never do experiments with that guy again. He almost killed me!"

"No, no, no, I'm not targeting you, Sir Midland, we really don't have other places available."

"What? What happened to the mage from the François family? Was it an attack or something else?"

"I hope I can hear all Excellencies' attitudes 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 Aster Kingdom. It tastes very special. You must try it."

......

In the hall of the mansion, there were many people discussing the 305th annual meeting of mercury balance to be held on the shore of Lake Wagner in a week. This was one of the largest academic seminars on mercury balance, including high-level seminars. Many powerful mages would come to the seminars. During the three-day meeting, one could hear the most cutting-edge reports from various academic experts, which could be said to be a grand magical event.

Fleming was naturally invited. According to regulations, he could bring a student to the venue. Fleming's choice was naturally Kanon.

"Sir Ernst, I have read your hypothesis about the element of fire. It is very bold. If you can find experimental verification, then I think you will be able to get a Hohenheim Golden Cup Award."

A mage with five gilded stripes on the cuffs saw Fleming and greeted him. He was a rotating clerk and was responsible for reception.

The Hohenheim Golden Cup was an internal reward in the mercury balance to reward those mages who have made outstanding achievements in the alchemy system. If there was no accident in this year's Hohenheim Golden Cup ceremony, the award should be obtained by His Excellency, Cornwall Penzance, who found the new element "Kayla". What this mage said earlier was nothing but courtesy flattery.

Of course, if Fleming could really perfect the combustion theory and even find the fire element, then he would surely be able to win a Hohenheim Golden Cup, but that was obviously too far away.

"Just cut those flattery, Falastur, where is His Excellency Demetrius?"

Fleming asked.

"His Excellency is having a meeting with the other Excellencies, I think you should wait-"

He wanted to let Fleming sit and wait for a while, but the serious expression made the five-ring mage named Falastur feel the seriousness of the matter, so he nodded, then replied.

"Please follow me."

They walked through the crowded hall, walked up to the third floor, and came to the door of a meeting room. Falastur knocked on the door. He slowly opened the door until the sound of permission to enter came. Fleming entered the meeting room and then waited at the door.

The meeting room was very bright. In the evening, the afterglow of the setting sun was shining into this spacious meeting room through the large floor-to-ceiling windows. Fleming first saw Frederick Demetrius, the ninth-ring mage and also the leader of the Mercury Balance, sitting at the side of the long table.

But before he had time to speak, he noticed the other people in the room, then he suddenly became a little flustered.

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

Maria Instein, a seventh-ring high-level mage. She had discovered two brand-new elements with a certain energy leakage property from the ore and was promoted to a high-level mage. She was a rare high-level female mage in the mercury balance.

Cornwall Penzance, a seventh-ring high-level mage. He has made great achievements in the field of alchemy. His latest achievement was the invention of electrolysis and the discovery of the new element "Kayla" from caustic alkali. He was one of the candidates that were most likely to get the Hohenheim Golden Cup award this year.

Robert Lizmo, the eight-ring high-level mage. He first discovered the mystery of vacuum and was the first to propose the theory that the volume of air changed with pressure. Among the magic of wind, twenty-nine spells were named after him.

Eagles Ferdo, a ninth-ring high-level mage. He was most famous for proposing the concept of element and element mass, which had triggered a wave of element discovery that still continued to this day.

And Lanchester Steinen at one end of the long table. Although this legendary mage was no longer the leader of the mercury balance, he still participated in relevant meetings as the authority of the alchemy department.

There were also students of these high-ranking mages present here, but His Excellency Cornwall Penzance came alone.

"Fleming, why are you so flustered?"

Frederick Demetrius asked with concern. He was gentle and calm. Even if Fleming's arrival interrupted the meeting, he didn't seem to be angry.

"Uh, Your Excellency, my student Kanon received a review paper. I think it is necessary to show it to you."

Fleming was like a humble student at this time, lowered his head, and said.

"A review paper? Why does this kind of thing need to be reviewed by a high-level mage? Are the guys on the paper review board useless?"

Cornwall Penzance asked rhetorically. He was not targeting Fleming. The Academic Paper Review Committee has long established a set of corresponding mechanisms to review papers. Unless it was a new paper by a high-level mage, it was impossible to pass it on to this level. Since the original reviewer of this paper was a student of Fleming, it meant that this was a paper written by a low-level mage. In Penzance’s eyes, the paper of this level was indeed not qualified for them to review.

Of course, sometimes there were some mages who wanted to introduce their students to high-level mages using this method, so Cornwall also asked one more question.

"Whose student's thesis is this?"

"It's not anyone's student... Actually, this is a paper written by a mage apprentice."

Fleming didn't dare to speak anymore, as if every word he said was like a bomb.

"A mage apprentice? Fleming, are you serious?"

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

"Wait, since Fleming is so flustered, I think this paper may indeed have a certain value. In the past, didn't we also want to break the rigid paper review mechanism? If we stick to these rules, wouldn’t we fall into the cage that we didn't want to be in in the first place?"

Lanchester Steinen spoke, and everyone else stopped speaking and fell silent.

This was the majesty of the legendary mage.

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

Hearing the order of the legendary mage, Fleming took out the paper in his hand.

Dozens of papers were lifted up by an invisible force, and as Lanchester waved his hand, the papers and pens in the corner of the room also flew up, and quickly made five copies of the same essay. Then they were sent into the hands of several high-level mages.

Frederick pushed up his glasses, got the paper, first saw the title.

"Analysis of the properties and compounds of the two new elements "Occles" and "Hydra" obtained by electrolysis of water, and several conjectures about combustion theory"

"Electrolysis?"

There was a questioning voice among the high-level mages, but no one continued to speak. Everyone, including Cornwall who protested at the beginning, began to read this paper seriously.
