Chapter 133: Visiting High Level Mage
When Reiner arrived at the hotel, most of the rooms were already full, but he was not very demanding, so he was quickly assigned a standard single room.
"How can light be particles? Are those diffraction and interference phenomena fake?"
"His Excellency Steinen's element table is so wonderful, I think this should be the correct answer."
"Sullivan will be here tomorrow? He is not the kind of guy who will be late. What happened?"
"This series of recent discoveries made me a little worried. It seems that something that I believed in in the past has begun to shake."
In the hotel lobby, many mages were talking about different topics, it was very noisy.
After checking in, Reiner did not choose to go to his room, but found the mage who was in charge of the reception in the lobby.
"Hello, do you know where I can find His Excellency Demetrius?"
He asked, wanting to ask a high-level mage to review the paper as soon as possible.
"His Excellency Demetrius is not… Uh, Hohenheim Golden Cup? You are Reiner Ian Gray?"
The Mage, who was in charge of the reception, was a little impatient, but when he saw the ring on Reiner's finger, his face immediately changed.
"Yes, I am. I don't know if you can take me to see His Excellency Demetrius, or tell me where to find him, I have an important document to show him."
"Please, wasit for a moment......"
That mage was only the first-ring mage. He must be a certain middle-level mage's student, who was sent to do this kind of work. He was a little panicked when he realised who Reiner was, and he hurriedly took out the itinerary to check it.
"Uh, His Excellency Demetrius should be attending a high-level mage seminar now. At the Norton Convention Center in the center of Ernest, I think you can...Huh?"
He looked up, only to find that Reiner was already gone.
"Damn it, I forgot to ask for an autograph from him!"
Annoyed, he muttered to himself.
...
Reiner walked out of the hotel, called over a carriage, and headed directly to the center of Ernest. The Norton Convention Center was a three-story building, which was different from the tall buildings around it. It was much lower, and it contained dozens of small meeting rooms and two large conference rooms that could hold large conferences with thousands of people.
According to the people at the front desk of the convention center, Reiner came to the ninth conference room.
This conference room was a small conference room that could only accommodate about twenty people, but at the moment, there were more than forty people waiting outside the conference room.
These mages range from the Fourth-ring to the Sixth-ring. They were dressed in different ways. Some of them looked indifferent, while others were nervous. There were also people pacing back and forth. Everyone was waiting in the lobby at the entrance of the conference room, glancing at it from time to time. The door of the conference room closed tightly.
Compared with the mages in the hotel lobby, these mages were very quiet, almost no one was talking, and their attention was drawn away by what happened in the conference room.
Someone had noticed Reiner's arrival, but no one spoke, as if a certain emotion would appear as soon as they spoke.
Reiner found a place to wait. It was obvious that the high-level mages were discussing academic issues in the conference room, and those who were waiting outside should be their students and assistants.
About ten minutes later, the door of the conference room opened.
Everyone held their breath subconsciously until the first high-level mage walked out of the door.
It was a gentleman with single-sided glasses. He was not wearing a mage robe, but a fitted suit dress. He was handsome and looked less than 30 years old, but the nine golden stripes on the cuffs of the suit made people unable to look away.
"I still think that since there is a phenomenon that can't be explained by the wave theory, then we can't make a conclusion."
He said to the person behind him. It was a middle-aged man with an eclectic appearance. He had long tousled hair and an unshaven beard. Reiner recognized this mage. He was the Ninth-ring mage Eagles Ferdo of Mercury Balance, who put forward the concept of element and element mass.
"I can also say the same thing to you, Ludwig."
Another mage walked out behind them and said to the mage in the suit.
‘Ludwig?'
Only then did Reiner realize that the mage with a trendy appearance should be Ludwig Stein, the mage who discovered the photoelectric effect. Because he was young and handsome, he was also called a playboy.
"Clark, I think we can find a place to discuss this issue in private."
Ludwig was not angry by the other party's provocation, but said lightly, confident and elegant.
High-level mages came out one after another, and their students and disciples greeted them one after another. Reiner noticed that the legendary mages did not seem to be among them. At the same time, it seemed that His Excellency Cornwall Penzance was alone, but Reiner had no time to say hello to him, but greeted President Demetrius who had two mages beside him.
The leader of Mercury Balance was dictating meeting minutes to his students. As the ideas of high-level mages were very cutting-edge, they could easily cause cognitive contradiction. For those with a weak foundation, those contradictions were very dangerous and could easily cause cognitive collapse.
Therefore, these students would usually wait outside the conference room, and in the intervals between the meeting, the high level mages would dictate some inspirations and ideas for them to record and organize.
"......Regarding the current generated by the light shining on the thin metal sheet, I think it can come from these aspects..."
President Demetrius narrated eloquently, while two of his students recorded quickly. Reiner waited for President Demetrius to finish his narration before stepping forward to greet him.
"Greetings, Your Excellency Demetrius."
Reiner bowed. Both of Demetrius's students knew Reiner, so they didn't stop him.
"Oh, Reiner, why are you here? I thought you would arrive later."
Demetrius was a little surprised. Although in Reiner's letter, he learned that the apprentice who had repeatedly performed miracles seemed to have discovered something new, he didn't expect Reiner to come here directly to find himself.
As a high-level mage, Demetrius did not hesitate to allocate available resources to some promising new mages. He had attached great importance to Reiner, so he waved to his two students, signaling them to step back, and then stood in front of Reiner.
"What surprise will you bring to me this time?"
"A new element, Your Excellency Demetrius. To be precise, this new element was not discovered by me, but since the discoverer has passed away, I organized the paper for him."
Reiner said, making Demetrius raise his eyebrows. The discovery of new elements required knowledge and perseverance, and more importantly, a bit of luck. Although Reiner said this was not his discovery, it seemed that he was very lucky to be able to run into this kind of thing.
However, before this question was resolved, Reiner's next sentence directly changed Demetrius's expression.
"In addition, I've rearranged the element table based on His Excellency Steinen's element table, and derived a list of elements that can predict the existence of new elements. I have submitted the paper to the review committee before, but have not yet received the review results, but I am waiting for the results. The discovery of this new element coincides with my prediction, so I added some notes to this list of elements. I call this list of elements the periodic table."
