The promotion ceremony under the auspices of President Dmitri was very simple. Reiner didn't even notice any changes in himself before and after it. It seemed that it was just as President Dmitri said, it was just a formality. That’s all.
The quill floating next to President Demetri quickly wrote a document, with a magic signature floating in front of Reiner. This was a document proving that Reiner had the level of a first-level mage. As long as he took it to any At a magic association, you can receive the robes and related certificates issued by the official mage.
"Liner, now that you are an official mage, how about I write another application to join the Mercury Scale and you sign it too?"
President Dmitri continued writing. Since Reiner had previously promised that he would join the Mercury Scale as long as he was successfully promoted to a formal mage, President Dmitri directly solved the joining procedures here. .
"Of course, Lord Dmitri."
Reiner naturally nodded in agreement and took the application form handed over to him. He read it carefully before signing his name on it with a quill pen and leaving his magic signature.
Putting away the application, President Dmitri extended his hand to Reiner.
"Congratulations, Reiner, from now on, you are a member of our Mercury Scale."
Reiner shook the other person's hand and smiled.
"After becoming an official mage, you need to fulfill certain obligations in accordance with the regulations of the association. Generally speaking, most of the tasks given to low-level mage are to serve as teachers in schools on the main plane, or to serve as magic consultants for a certain lord. , there will be magical crime investigations in rare cases."
Lord Eagles Field continued.
"As for mercury balance, you can perform tasks related to our organization, such as refining potions, but I think you can take a more suitable position."
"Don't know what kind of job it is?"
Reiner asked, it seems that the Magic Association is quite tolerant towards mages. Low-level mages generally do not come into contact with dangerous things in the demiplane outside the main plane, although it slows down the promotion of mages to some extent. Speed, but allows more mages to survive.
"Thesis Review Committee."
Lord Eagles Field replied, which surprised Reiner.
"This... Mr. Field, I am not being modest, but I only have one link, and I am not qualified to review other people's papers anyway. It is really inappropriate to serve as a paper review committee member."
Reiner said that as a thesis review committee member, you must be at least a fourth-level mid-level mage. This is because to serve as a review committee member, you must have a solid foundation and the level of magic that can reproduce the content of the paper. Let alone a first-level mage. Even the case of a low-level mage serving as a thesis review committee was unprecedented.
If it weren't for the seriousness of the other party, Reiner would have thought it was a joke because his papers always embarrass the review committee.
"Just call me Eagles. In fact, after the turmoil caused by your paper, we have decided to carry out certain reforms to the paper review committee. The most important of which is to establish a committee for controversial and extremely innovative papers. Special review mechanism.”
Eagles said, telling Lehner about the direction of the paper review committee's reform.
"Papers like your previous papers on carbon air and electrolysis of water are undoubtedly a challenge for ordinary paper review committee members. Maybe even mid-level mages may not be able to correctly evaluate these papers. It’s valuable, but if every paper has to be reviewed by a high-level mage, the efficiency would be too low.”
For this reason, this new special review mechanism will select some well-informed mages to serve as special review members. Whenever other review members encounter innovative papers that are difficult to screen, they will automatically be transferred to this organization. Conduct a review.
"And you, Reiner, these papers of yours have shown your innovation. I think this is the job that is most suitable for you."
Moreover, Eagles added that the special review committee members can usually carry out their own work and work from their own residences, and only need to go to the office once a month.
Reiner was lost in thought.
Indeed, if you must choose a job, an errand like this that you can complete while sitting at home is very suitable for you and is relatively safe. Moreover, being able to read innovative papers as soon as possible is very helpful for your academic development. help.
Of course, this is also based on the fact that these major discoveries made by Reiner are quite innovative. Otherwise, rashly letting a low-level mage come into contact with these things will only cause his cognitive collapse and ruin his career as a mage. The future, and even the loss of life, just like that unlucky wizard of the Francois family!
"You will not be exposed to those papers that are really judged as 'dangerous'. Due to your rank, Reiner, you should serve as an assistant review member, responsible for integrating and making final additions after the other review members have reviewed it. Annotations, the papers you can see have been read by more than one mage."
In order to dispel Reiner's concerns, President Dmitri added that obviously he and Eagles had discussed these matters long ago.
"sounds great."
Reiner nodded. Of course the mages of Mercury Scale would not plot to kill him. Since they all recommended it, it would be rude if Reiner didn't appreciate it.
"Back then, I also served as a thesis review committee member for more than three years and gained a lot. I hope you can also gain valuable experience from this job."
Eagles smiled and said rather nostalgically.
"Thank you all for giving me this opportunity."
Reiner replied, to be honest, Mercury Scale left a very good impression on him. This organization is different from the intrigues he imagined. Most of the members are actively exploring the world and are enthusiastic about helping the younger generations. He is somewhat glad that he is the last one. The papers he started to publish were in the direction of alchemy. You know, from what Miss Phoenix said, it sounds like the elemental Storm Council is more inclined to keep free.
"You must be very tired from traveling all the way today. Why don't you go back to the hotel to have a rest first and prepare for tomorrow's meeting. I will contact Mr. Stanion later and relay the content of today's meeting to him. Maybe you will It’s time to speak on stage again.”
President Dmitri smiled and patted Reiner on the shoulder.
"By the way, Lord Dmitry, I have some ideas about submitting the spells mentioned today to the Magic Association..."
Reiner said, expressing the thought that had been brewing in his heart for a long time.
