The midsummer is not over, and the dazzling sun is burning the earth. On such a midsummer day, even in the early morning, people feel extremely hot and dry. They just want to hide in a cool room and enjoy the comfort brought by modern magic.
The wheels rolled forward and finally stopped outside a manor.
The manor is not very big. From the outside, you can see the three story building, the vegetation growing in the garden, and the door with classical decoration. Many people have gathered.
These people were either dressed in robes or mediocre, most of them adult men. When they saw the carriage coming, they quickly turned their position from the gate to here.
"Your honor, please look at my research."
"My achievements are absolutely epoch-making. Please have a look!"
"This theorem can't be buried like this, my Lord!"
"Please look here, my Lord. My proof process is perfect. You must have a look!"
A burst of noise immediately surrounded the carriage, but these people did not directly jam up, but kept a certain distance from the carriage.
Naturally, there was no response in the carriage. People just watched the car slowly drive into the manor, and a sigh spread in the crowd.
The door closed slowly. Some people chose to wait at the door, while others gave up and went to the shadow on the opposite side of the road. They fanned the wind with the paper in their hands, trying to relieve the heat.
At this time, an old woman over 50 years old with white temples was pushing a small car slowly from the corner.
"Do you need a cold coke?"
She yelled, making those who suffered from the summer sun shine immediately.
"Coke!"
"Great, I want a bottle!"
"Give me a bottle."
The people hiding in the shade immediately gathered around and saw the old woman take out a bottle of black drink from the box of the small cart. Because the box is still filled with large pieces of ice, the drink is still iced. As soon as she comes into contact with the outside air, the bottle will condense a lot of dew.
She sold very fast. In less than a quarter of an hour, a whole box of coke sold out. The old lady's purse jingled, and those who bought coke were able to get a little refreshing in this summer.
"What's the result today?"
As she was packing, she asked a man in a robe.
"Well, it's not like that. All of these judges are proud. How can they be willing to have a look at our achievements?"
The man sighed. He had been here for a month and came every day, but no one was willing to review his paper.
There are many people like him. Most of them are apprentices who have failed to advance. There are also a small number of formal mages whose papers have been rejected. They do not agree with the results of the review committee. Therefore, after hearing that a new review organization has been set up here to review breakthrough and innovative papers, they immediately rush in.
They take their papers and try to get recognition. However, the master here doesn't care about these losers at all. A few of them who can be seen by the jury have been mercilessly refuted. But these people still have the illusion that one day their papers will be evaluated in line with their value, just like the biographer Strange Lena Ian gray!
"Well, this carriage is a little different. I don't think I've seen it before? Aunt Hedwig, I'll go and see what's going on first. Would you like to come with me? "
While the man was still resting, he saw another carriage coming towards the manor. He was about to run there, but he seemed to think of something and asked the old woman.
"No, you go. I have to clean up here."
Aunt Hedwig waved her hand. Her legs were not sharp, and she was not as energetic as these young people. She found a step to sit down, wiped the sweat on her forehead, took out a bottle of water from the side of the cart and took a sip.
"It's a new judge indeed."
Aunt Hedwig looked at the carriage slowly driving into the gate of the manor, thinking.
...
to be honest, Lena didn't expect this to happen before.
After the carriage entered the manor, he lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked back at the crowd outside the gate.
Before the mercury balance annual conference, there were many mages outside the conference venue, but those mages wanted to take chances, hope to be appreciated and become students of an adult. However, the nature of those outside the manor was quite different.
They seem to want to read their papers, but why not send them through formal channels, instead, they have to wait here for the judges?
As soon as the carriage stopped and Lena left the carriage, he was attacked by a heat wave. Fortunately, he bought a garment engraved with the temperature regulating array in advance. Otherwise, he would have to sweat heavily and his back would be drenched in the sun for just a few seconds.From the side into the hall of the manor, Lena finally felt a trace of coolness.
"Is this Mr. Lena eagley?"
A man in a mage's robe immediately met him. He was a four ring mage with sparse hair on his head. His face was wrinkled with laughter. His robe had the heraldry of storm Council. On the right hand that stretched out to Lena, two rings inlaid with gems were shining.
"I'm Igor born, one of your colleagues, who is mainly responsible for the review of papers in the Department of elements and some of the Department of alchemy."
"Hello, I'm Lena Ian gray. I'd like to ask Lord born for your help in the coming week."
Lena took the other person's hand back and said with a smile.
In the past, it was a military fortress, but with the unification of the Kingdom, it has become a prosperous commercial city. Among them, the establishment of Astor high-level magic academy made it the Magic center of Astor Kingdom several decades ago.
This paper review organization, which is directly authorized by the high-level Council, is located in the east of triestan city. Previously, President Demetri of mercury balance and several of his honours got this job for Lena. These days, Lena came to report his work and attend the first regular meeting by the way.
"Hehe, just call me Igor. Although we have different levels of magic, since we work together here, we don't need the red tape."
Said Igor, glancing out of the window.
"You must have been surprised by the posture just now."
"Well, it's OK."
Lena smiles.
"Come on, let's talk as we walk."
Igor patted Lena on the shoulder and took him up the stairs.
