Meet the principal

At the Mercury Scale headquarters, Dmitri was attending a meeting. As soon as he returned to the office and sat down, Eagles Field hurried into the room, holding a copy of the latest Mage Daily in his hand.

"Frederick, look."

He called the president by his first name. After all, in terms of seniority, Field was Dmitri's elder.

"Our Reiner made some big noise again."

Field placed the newspaper on Dmitri's desk, where the headlines were.

"The Sirius Prize? I remember hearing Mr. Stanion say that this is a prize related to mathematics. What, Reiner won the prize?"

Demetri was a little confused. Last month, Reiner's paper on inheritance at a gathering of pure-blood mages caused the cognitive collapse of twelve intermediate mages, and the pressure came directly to the mercury scale.

He didn't care about the protests of these pure-blood mages demanding that Reiner be held accountable. If Reiner used magic on these mages, he could still argue about it. Things like cognitive collapse would not involve theoretical discovery no matter what. Otherwise, His Excellency Isaris Ebdon would have spent the rest of his life in prison instead of reaching the sky in one fell swoop.

Not only did Dmitri ignore such appeal, he even wanted to laugh. You know, the abilities of many families in the pure-blood sect are related to the original four elements. They did a lot of research when the alchemy system just started. Obstruction, now, Reiner's actions have avenged the mercury scale, and Dmitri is just about to award Reiner another award.

"No, he didn't win the award, although Reiner was partly involved in the creation of this award. Dmitry, I'm talking about the three mathematical conjectures he proposed."

Field's finger pointed below the introduction on the front page, where he detailed three mathematical conjectures that Reiner mentioned in his acceptance speech.

"Let me see...Four Color Conjecture?"

Dmitri's eyes first focused on one of the problems. He had done some research on maps, but he had never thought about this coloring problem in depth. Looking at Reiner's conjecture, he couldn't help but think about it. .

Around him, several beams of light flowed out, forming a draft of thinking. This was actually a spell, called Braggs' Thinking Drawing, with six rings and levels. Although it seemed to just replace the draft paper, in fact, the light on it The point is accompanied by an immediate change in thinking. In a sense, it embodies the process of human thinking.

Maps are intertwined with light,

Different colors were filled in, and after about ten minutes, Dmitri stopped the deduction.

"All the currently known maps are consistent with this conjecture. I think this problem needs to be established by a mathematical model to prove it deductively."

Dmitri was attracted by this question and completely forgot about Field beside him.

"Ahem, Frederick, put this question aside for now."

Field patted Dmitri on the shoulder awkwardly.

“I don’t think these conjectures can be proven easily. In fact, it has been three days since these conjectures were raised. As far as I know, the paper review committee received nearly four submissions in these three days. There are hundreds of papers, including research by intermediate and high-level mages, and they all claim to have proved one of the conjectures. The number of these papers is a hundred times that of previous mathematics-related papers."

Shrugged, Field has heard the protests of several mages responsible for reviewing papers in this area. They work overtime, but it is difficult to digest so many papers. What's more, reviewing papers in mathematics requires careful thinking, and every article requires careful thinking. It takes a lot of time.

"Of course, among so many papers, none was finally recognized as proving these conjectures. These three questions have not yet become theorems."

Dmitri nodded before his thoughts could be drawn back from the map.

"These conclusions seem obvious, but if you want to prove them, there is no way to prove them, well, at least with the current methods."

"To solve these problems, new mathematical methods must be developed. Perhaps some of them will shine in other fields. Is this Reiner's intention?"

Field said that it is more difficult to discover problems than to solve them. Reiner will definitely leave his name in the history of magic just by relying on these three conjectures.

"Sir Field, do you know what I'm thinking about right now?"

Dmitri asked with a smile, but before Field could answer, he gave the answer himself.

"The decisive decision to absorb Reiner Iain Gray into the Mercury Scale at that time was really the most important conclusion made in the past fifty years. This guy is not an ordinary genius. I think he will one day be promoted to a legend and even touch the truth. "

Field nodded in agreement.

He did not question Reiner's series of discoveries. You must know that real genius is always unimaginable by mortals. Just like the famous saying of Lord Isaris Ebdon, some people read magnificent epics but think that they are just It is a story, but some people can understand the mysteries of the world from the ingredients of expired rum.

Of course, this sentence was actually just a mockery of those mages who looked down on kinesiology papers at first, but that doesn't matter.

"There's another thing. Dmitri is also related to Reiner. It's related to the demiplane."

Field pulled out another document.

"This is?"

Dmitri frowned slightly when he saw the sender.

...

Engels Street has been a bit busy lately.

In the past, this place was synonymous with darkness and poverty, but now, the people who travel through this street are mages.

On the ruins of Belen's apartment, the foundation stone of a new six-story building is being laid.

A school will be built here to provide general education for ordinary children, and the surrounding shops will also be reborn. The bald boss’s butcher shop was replaced by a candy shop, although according to the boss, his childhood home was His dream is to open a candy store like this, but looking at his somewhat ferocious smile always makes people uneasy.

The school is named Hedwig College in memory of a mother who once lived here.

With Reiner's efforts, the High Council provided the best treatment for Granny Hedwig. Although it could not completely eliminate the impact of the fire, it at least saved her life. After being discharged from the hospital, Granny Hedwig continued to live on this street. , although through the income from cialis thesis, she no longer has to work, Granny Hedwig still likes to push her cart and bring food and joy to people.

If you have a chance to see an old woman with gray hair pushing a cart on the streets of Trestan, you might as well buy one of her special pies, which are absolutely delicious.
