The commotion caused by Reiner spread quickly after the exam, but the three people involved did not publicize it, so everyone only knew that Reiner's spell caused damage to the obsidian slab for the test. As for the details, everyone has different opinions.
But these have nothing to do with Reiner and others.
After they finished the exam, they returned to the hotel. Mr. Osborne invited a few people to have a celebratory dinner. Then, early the next morning, Reiner embarked on a journey back to school.
It was already dusk when we arrived at Crescent College, but the affairs that had fallen behind in the past few days did not give Reiner room to breathe. The school's alchemy creatures immediately delivered several letters to Reiner.
He briefly ate the sandwich and opened the first letter.
This is the paper review letter from Rainbow Tower.
Dear Mr. Rainer Ingle, for your paper "A new coordinate system and the study of functional equations of ellipses, hyperbolas, parabolas and other curves in this coordinate system", after careful review by the review committee , make the following evaluation:
The paper's research in mathematics is groundbreaking. The polar coordinate system it established can effectively solve curve problems that frequently occur in the construction of magic models. The paper's derivation and induction of several common curve function equations are rigorous and detailed, and its thinking method is worthy of promotion. , which has obvious optimization effects on several spell models and has great reference value.
If the paper passes the review, thirty review points will be awarded.
"Thirty..."
Reiner put down the letter. Although he knew that the number of reward points for papers related to mathematics was always low, thirty seemed a bit too few.
It is true that thirty academic points is already a very generous reward for an apprentice, but Reiner now has 350 original academic points in his hands, which means that his potential value has exceeded three Thousand points, in comparison, these thirty academic points are indeed insignificant.
However, no matter how small it is, it is still important. Academic points are not only closely related to the evaluation of the school and individuals, but materials and magic related to intermediate-level and above spells can only be redeemed by academic points. Now there is no problem in accumulating more.
Of course, these are all introduced by Reiner from other mages. After entering the intermediate level, money in the world has lost its meaning to the mages. When it comes to the casting materials of intermediate spells, papers and monographs recording intermediate magic, Including the right to use some demiplanes requires the consumption of academic points. It can be said that academic points are the gold of the magic world.
"Forget it, it's just a piece of cake anyway."
Reiner was not too entangled. Mathematical theories are important, but as many mages believe, mathematics is just another tool in this world. A high-level mage is like a computer with huge computing power. With matlab, even if there is no optimized algorithm, you can reach the end point by exhaustive calculation. In many cases, mathematics only plays the role of summary.
Reiner had a deep understanding of this after he engraved the spell model into his heart lake. He has not yet officially advanced, and is only at the quasi-first-level level, but he can already solve most high-order equations internally in a few seconds. , Reiner doesn't know if this is the case for others, but at least he is currently a human calculator, and high school-level mathematical formulas have lost their meaning to him.
Putting the letter away, Reiner picked up the other three letters.
This was sent to Reiner from alchemy workshops in other provinces. Just like Mr. Osborne, they hope to obtain the exclusive agency rights of Crescent Coke in their province. This is also the effect of Reiner's previous propaganda. Each province will set up an exclusive agent and authorize it to be responsible for the distribution of Crescent Coke. You only need to contact these agents.
Attached to these letters were the financial reports of the alchemy workshop requested by Reiner for the past year, which Reiner used to judge whether the other party was worthy of authorization.
Nowadays, Crescent Cola has become a hot brand-name product, and the mage cards have also been updated to the third edition, with a total of seventy cards. In fact, since the third edition, Reiner has recruited a group of painters from the outside world, using Xia Luo’s The creation of mage cards using the painting style also lightened the student's burden in disguise.
Antoine was busy improving the production line. During Reiner's examination, he had already set off to the two alchemy workshops in the Tower of Rainbows authorized for mercury balances to learn advanced production technology. Perhaps after many years of stagnation, Antoine could once again Maybe there is hope for promotion.
After spending about an hour reviewing these three letters, Reiner stretched before looking at the third letter.
This letter is obviously different from the previous ones. The light yellow cover is exquisitely made. Turn it over and you will see the shining star emblem on the wax seal that Reiner has never seen before. Along with this letter, there is a small package. , not heavy, but like a book.
On the envelope, the words "Kingdom of Astor, Province of Ammonai, City of Prest, Crescent College, received by Rainer Ingles" were written in thick and steady fonts, and the sender was "Vil De Regens".
"Wilder Regens?"
Reiner felt vaguely that the name sounded familiar. He examined the magical signature on the letter and found that it was the emblem of the Stargazers organization.
"Stargazers... should be the mage organization of the astrology system, right?"
Talking to himself, Reiner opened the letter and read it carefully.
After a long time, he put down the letter and sighed.
"I only thought that the three laws of kinematics had been proposed, but I didn't expect that the three laws of planetary motion had not yet been formulated."
This letter is a thank-you letter written by high-level mage Wilder to Reiner. Thanks to Reiner's polar coordinate paper, Wilder successfully verified his three conjectures and received feedback from the world. He is about to Advancing to the Nine Rings is just one step away from the legend, and in that package is a supplement to the Astrologer's Monthly that contains Wilder's papers.
Because Kepler's three laws are earlier than Newton's three laws on the earth, Reiner subconsciously thought that someone had already arrived first, but he did not expect that it was his polar coordinate thesis that promoted Wilder Regens' verification. .
However, Reiner then thought about it. Verifying the three laws of planetary motion requires a large amount of observational data. According to Wilder, he also obtained a large amount of data from his teacher, plus his decades of experience. Only through observation can we obtain those three conjectures, so even if Reiner knew these three laws, he was still somewhat unable to do so.
Feedback from this world cannot be obtained by simply writing formulas, but requires an understanding of its essence and a summary after a large number of experiments. Just like even if Reiner knew the mass-energy equation, without the support of experiments and pre-theoretical , this is just a formula.
On the other hand, Reiner thought that Mr. Wilder expressed his gratitude to Reiner in the letter, which was invisibly equivalent to the other party owed him a big favor, which should come in handy in the future.
"How about letting him be the spokesman for the complete explanation of Iain Gray's textbook?"
Reiner thought without any clue, put down the letter, and opened the last letter.
Surprisingly, however, this letter came from someone whom Reiner had never interacted with before.
Chester Christine, Dana's uncle.
