Meet the principal

In the early morning, it was located on an island near the main island of Rainbow Tower.

There is a huge lake in the center of the island. The rail steam train runs around the entire island. On one side of the lake is a three-story building with a simple shape.

This is the headquarters of Mercury Balance. On the other side of this building is a villa area with a view of the lake. This is where the high-level mages and permanent staff of Mercury Balance live.

Frederic Dmitri, who was on vacation, had just sent away his daughter. The cute little girl was a freshman at the Tower of Rainbow Academy of Advanced Magic.

The final exam came as scheduled, and the little girl was quite nervous. This may have become more stressful because her father was a famous high-level mage of the Nine Rings. She got on the train around the island a little uneasily and headed for the main school. Island school, hope to have a good result today.

Dmitri breathed a sigh of relief. His daughter Misha was obviously not good at magic. Although she had her own blood inheritance, she mastered magic much faster than her peers. She passed the Tower of Rainbow exam The high-level magic academy is also relatively easy, but if you want to advance as a high-level mage, it is still very difficult.

Dmitri has lived for more than two hundred years, and he is not young among high-level mages. But for mid-level and low-level mages, two hundred years may already be the inheritance history of a family. If Misha cannot Entering the middle level, perhaps many years later, Dmitri will face the scene of attending his daughter's funeral.

Shaking his head, he still didn't think about these things. When he returned to the house, he found that his wife had woken up.

"Olia, why did you wake up so early?"

As Dmitri spoke, he opened the refrigerator that was kept at a constant low temperature with a temperature adjustment circle, took out a bottle of milk and put it in a pot to heat. On the other side, he used the mage's hand to control the pan to cook bacon and fried eggs.

"Has your daughter been sent to school?"

Dmitri’s wife Olya still looks charming,

Her spell level is third level, and she is just a low-level mage. As for the process of their acquaintance, it is legendary. Now, for twenty years, they have been a model couple in the mage world.

"Well, sit down. Breakfast will be ready soon."

After a few minutes, Dmitri took control of the pan, put bacon and fried eggs into his wife's plate, and poured a glass of warm milk.

"Thanks, dear."

Olya suffered from mild hypoglycemia and often felt sleepy in the morning. Because of this, Dmitri developed the habit of getting up early to prepare everything for his wife and daughter.

Anyway, for high-level mages, sleep is actually not necessary. There is no essential difference in the body between getting up early and getting up late.

"Misha seems very worried about the exam and I hope she can overcome her psychological barriers."

Olya took a sip of hot milk. The slightly sweet milk flowed down her throat and into her stomach, making her feel a little more energetic.

"No matter what, this is something she needs to go through."

Dmitri said, he also picked up the coffee, and at the same time, the mage's hand took the newspaper he just took from the mailbox at the door and opened it.

"Well, the temperature has been really high recently. It seems that the mages need to carry out artificial rainfall again."

Seeing the report about the weather, Dmitri sighed and turned to the next page.

At this moment, he looked at the window on one side as if with a premonition, and saw a small black dot flying slowly towards this side. It was an owl with black and white patterns, and it was his old man. Man.

The owl flew towards the house quietly, and was about to fly directly into the room.

Bang——

But it hit the glass directly, its wings spread out, and its whole body pressed against the window, looking extremely embarrassed.

Dmitri grabbed a handful of cereal and came to the window. He raised the window, sprinkled the cereal into a bowl, and handed it to the owl.

"You have to fly slower next time."

With that said, Dmitri picked up the package that fell on the window sill, opened it, and found out that it was a paper and a letter.

The letter is from Eagles Field.

Demetri opened the letter first. The content was very brief. This was the latest paper submitted by Rainer Ian Gray to the High Council. Field had already read it. He believed that the content of this paper was extremely controversial. Therefore, he had to disturb Dmitri, who was still on vacation.

"This paper discusses something about the speed of light, and it's so weird that it makes me think that so many years of magic research seem to be based on a false baseline... Is it really that serious?"

Demetri suddenly became serious. There is an irreconcilable contradiction between the speed of light calculated by the Newington-Holland equations and the classical motion system. This contradiction has reached its peak since the publication of Lord Alberton's space-time paper. , in the past, the wave theory of light was competing with the particle theory.

However, in the past, whether light was a wave or a particle, it would not affect most basic laws. But now, the problem of the speed of light challenges the most fundamental thing for all mages.

"What's the matter, honey? Is it about work?"

Olya asked when she saw Dmitri becoming silent after reading the letter.

"It's a letter from Eagles. He asked me to take a look at this paper, um, Rainer Ian Gray's latest paper."

Demetri waved a stack of parchment in his hand.

"Did he make a new discovery?"

Olya naturally also knew about Reiner, a rising star who often appeared in her husband's mouth. Dmitri even once said that Reiner might be able to promote the real second magic revolution and completely combine ancient magic with modern magic. Separated, so Olya was naturally surprised to hear the news that he had a new paper.

"To be precise, his paper seems to have solved a problem that has troubled the mages. For details, I have to read the paper first... Well, I can read it in the afternoon."

Dmitri suddenly realized that he was on vacation. This was a rare time to spend with his family and he should not discuss work matters.

"It's okay, just go ahead."

However, Olya smiled slightly and signaled to Dmitri that he didn't need to think too much about himself.

"If I don't let you see it, I'm afraid you'll be restless all day long."

"Haha, how could this happen..."

Dmitri laughed dryly, looked at his wife, and finally opened the paper, unfolded it, and walked to the living room.

The title of the paper is quite meaningful: "On the Electrodynamics of Moving Bodies", which seems to be based on the theory of electromagnetic fields to discuss the speed of light. Dmitri opened the paper and quickly became immersed in it.

His wife, Olya, smiled slightly and silently stood up to clear away the dishes.
