Meet the principal

"Dear Mr. Rainer Ian Gray, we are honored to invite you to the 'Mercury Scale Annual Meeting' held on the third Friday of the Moon of Fire to discuss academic issues with you. This invitation involves All expenses are paid by the mercury balance, and I hope to get your response - Frederic Dmitry."

Opening the invitation, Reiner found a letter like this inside.

He verified that the magic signature on the envelope was indeed an official letter from the Mercury Balance. As for the signature of Frederic Dmitry, if Claire were next to him, she would definitely jump up in surprise.

Because that is the leader of Mercury Scale, His Excellency the Nine Rings High-level Mage.

For a while, even Reiner was a little suspicious, worried that some academic authorities were trying to lure him out, steal the results, and then kill him quickly. But soon, he learned from Mrs. Michel that these formal invitations They all have backup records in the High Council. If anything happens to Reiner along the way, even the legendary mage will suffer the same severe punishment.

The laws in this world are very strict. Reiner lamented that in this case, he has nothing to be afraid of. If the other party really wants to murder him, he may have been attacked by dozens of people just by opening this letter. Died due to the devouring of high-level curse spells.

There were a few pieces of paper in the invitation. Reiner looked at it and saw some maps and round-trip ferry tickets. It seemed that the other party had indeed arranged an itinerary for him. Reiner only needed to carry his bag and set off.

"Just two tickets?"

Reiner looked at the two unlimited time tickets in his hand and fell into thinking.

Mercury Balance must have ordered the two tickets considering that he might have an entourage. A few days ago, Reiner might have subconsciously taken Claire with him, but at this time, the teacher was weak and he might have to find someone else. .

He originally wanted to take Xia Luo to see the world, but considering his identity, Reiner finally gave up the proposal.

Mr. Antoine needs to be responsible for the production of Coke. In the past few days, there should be many alchemy workshops looking for him to authorize the production line, and naturally they will not be able to leave.

"It seems I can go alone."

Reiner laughed at himself and said that there seemed to be a lot of inconveniences in a girls' school.

But just when he put away the invitation and returned to his room, he found that the tiger striped kitten he had just eaten with was already waiting on the soft bed.

"Why don't you just take this cat with you."

Reiner jokingly said that this kitten seemed quite humane and might be of unexpected use.

However, before Reiner finished speaking, the kitten glared at him with disgust, and then jumped away from the window with a squeal, as if Reiner was going to do something indescribable to it.

"Uh...okay."

In the end, Reiner decided to go alone, but he left another ticket and a note with the cause and effect on Claire's bedside. He heard that the scenery near Lake Wagner where the conference was held was beautiful. If Claire wakes up, just treat it as a... Give her a few days off to rest.

...

It wasn't until after packing his things that Reiner suddenly realized that it was the first time that he had left Crescent College and its nearby towns and entered other parts of the world. He followed the map to the provincial capital of the province where Crescent College was located. Londo, where we are preparing to take the scheduled ship "Gracia" to Lake Wagner.

Toronto is much more prosperous than Prestige, with row upon row of buildings and mostly pedestrians wearing decent clothes. People on the streets are talking about current affairs, politics, cutting-edge products and other topics, except that no one is holding a mobile phone. Na felt that this was not much different from cities on Earth.

He even found a few shops selling Coke. Although there were only a few shops, this trendy drink from the south soon became popular among the trend-seeking urbanites.

Reiner found that there were long queues in those stores, and people were cheering or frustrated for the mage card they had drawn. It was obvious that Coke hit the pain point of these people.

However, he didn't stay too long. Reiner bought two bottles of Coke and put them in his storage bag for later use. After briefly writing down the contact information of several larger alchemy workshops in Toronto, he set off for the port.

It wasn't until he saw the port that Reiner finally understood a question he had always had in his mind, which was why a city inland with only the Toronto River flowing through it had a city built far away from the river bank. port.

Because what is parked in the port is not a ship in the traditional sense.

The huge keel constructs the shape of the hull. On top of the steel-clad shell is a huge chimney that emits white smoke. The entire ship is suspended in mid-air, connected to the pier where the towering towers protrude. It has a somewhat surreal look.

"Is this the Gracia?"

Reiner couldn't help but admire, not only because this was the first time he had seen an aeroplane powered by magic, but also because of the powerful spell system revealed in it.

If it is just the fingertips that are on fire, then there is not much difference between magic and magic. The floating ship represents a high degree of concentration of magic technology, whether it is the hull design, power system, including various control devices, these are all based on Weaved with magic, it reflects the extent to which this world utilizes magic.

Although he wanted to explore how the aerospace ship worked, it was obvious that Reiner did not have that authority. Just when he looked up at the ship and stopped, a person hit him hard from behind.

"Ouch."

Because Reiner dodged in time, no serious conflict occurred, and the opponent staggered but finally regained his balance.

"sorry, I......"

Before Reiner could apologize, the other party had already cursed him.

"How did you walk? Fortunately, I didn't stain my clothes, otherwise you wouldn't be able to afford the compensation!"

The man was a middle-aged man with a big belly, wearing a single-sided spectacles and a top hat. His cane clicked on the ground, and he had an aggressive aura.

"Looking at his appearance, he looks like a country bumpkin. I'm afraid I have to save money for a long time to get on this boat."

He muttered in a low voice. Apparently, Reiner's slightly plain dress made the man mistakenly think that Reiner was a small businessman from the countryside. The man wanted to say something, but the whistle for boarding the ship had already sounded.

"Be careful in the future!"

The man seemed to be traveling on the Gracia. He took unsteady steps and hurried to the tower with his cane.

Reiner was a little helpless, but he didn't care too much. He straightened his clothes and walked towards the tower, quickly surpassing the man's slow pace.

"Do you need my help?"

Reiner said this when passing by the other party, which made the man look a little ugly. He cursed and speeded up his pace with difficulty.

After completing the boarding procedures with the man one after another, Reiner walked behind the other man and headed towards the cabin.

"I'm telling you, don't think you'll be happy just because you picked up a lower-class ticket. I'm a first-class cabin that can enjoy premium services and the latest drink Coke for free. You can't make this kind of money in your lifetime! "

The man had obviously decided that Reiner was a small-minded country bumpkin. He muttered to himself and showed his ticket to the waiter.

"There are twenty-five seats in the first class. Welcome aboard the Gracia aeroplane, distinguished passengers."

The waiter showed a business smile, and the respectful attitude made the man very happy. He glanced at Reiner, showing off, but found that Reiner took out a golden ticket.

"State Cabin No. 7, welcome aboard the Gracia aeroplane. You are our most distinguished guest. Please wait a moment and my colleague will take you to your box."

The waiter bowed slightly and said, making the man look straight in the eyes.

This guy can actually afford a state-class ticket? ? ?

He just watched in a daze as Reiner was led away by another waiter, unable to recover for a long time.
