What is it like to be a teacher as a magister?

Chapter 131 Trade Agreements
Two days later.

Youlan City.

In the meeting room of the headquarters of the Magic Federation.

"So, everyone has read this proof?"

It has been a long time since Verne Sellars participated in this kind of academic meeting.

As the chairman of the federation, he is now focusing more on various affairs within the Youlan Alliance. In his own words, he is now more like a politician than a magician.

The reason why I made an exception to participate in today's meeting is obviously because this matter is not only an academic issue, but is more likely to be a political event.

"What is there to say, I don't believe that everyone here will fail to see the value of this paper, and what I don't understand is why some laymen are invited to participate in the matter of element theory."

Sandra Woolley is nearly eighty years old, and she is already considered an older group among high-level magicians.

The theory of elements is not taken seriously, and the younger generation of magicians are unwilling to waste their youth on it. Nowadays, almost all the authorities in this field are old guys who are dying. Even people in their sixties like Felix can already be counted. Young and strong faction.

As "some layman" in Sandra's mouth, Essinger didn't seem to hear the other party's ridicule.

As an authority in the field of magical engineering, he never thought of getting into the muddy waters of elemental theory, but Isinger, who was forcibly pulled by Verne to make up the numbers, was helpless.

"Your Excellency Woolley, Essinger only happened to participate in the research work of the photo camera at the headquarters, so he would participate in it by the way. Otherwise, don't you think the meeting with only three people seems too deserted?"

Another magician who was clearly on Isinger's side counterattacked in time.

It is indeed an indisputable fact that talents in element theory are dying.

"Okay, let's just talk about academics now, let's talk about this paper."

Verne used his identity to forcibly end the quarrel between the two parties.

"The logic is clear and the angle is peculiar. Especially in the applicability of the inverse function of the aeta function, it has made a significant contribution that can affect the progress of several other conjectures. This has even exceeded the value of this proof itself."

"I agree with Sandra's opinion, not just the other conjectures, the three basic modules of the water magic pattern may be improved to a certain extent."

"Judging from such contributions, it is more than enough to be nominated for this year's Albert Medal."

Before the Albert Prize did not set up a single item of element theory, all proof papers could not win this award.Because according to Sir Albert's will during his lifetime, his awards should be awarded to those inventions and ideas that really affect the process of magic.

And just "proving the fourth conjecture" itself has almost no practical significance except for academic value.

Because it is already being used.

To come up with a complete proof process is nothing more than to make everyone apply it with more peace of mind.

However, the value of this unsigned paper is obviously not just a "proof". As Sandra said, the ideas used in the proof process and the conclusions about the applicability of inverse functions are even more meaningful than "proof". itself.

This makes it impossible for some people who do not want the award to be awarded to people outside the Western Continent to object from this aspect.

"However, as far as I know, this thesis was passed on through Princess Veronica of the Kingdom of Tulum..." Although Essinger was reluctant, he knew very well that Verne had brought him here reason.

Before the other party finished speaking, Sandra jumped up: "I know what you are thinking, what happened to Tulum? The Albert Award has never said that it can only be awarded to people from the western mainland, and it is not without precedent before." , even the Osik people have won the Albert Award, why not Tulum..."

Isinger has nothing to do about being reprimanded face-to-face by an old guy in his 80s. Once the words are too aggressive and the other person is pissed off, he has no good fruit to eat.

Sandra himself may not have much strength, but behind him is a school of elemental theory.

"Your Excellency Woolley, I am not against it, it is just that your so-called 'inverse function applicability conclusion' has not been used in any practical cases... In addition, have we all forgotten that this paper is published anonymously , even if the Federation wants to award medals, there is no way to award them.”

"What's the matter with anonymity, just suspend the publication, it's not like it hasn't been done before."

Publishing papers anonymously is nothing new. Some well-known magicians who do not have full confidence in their own research will also choose to use this method to test the reaction of the outside world. After all, peer review is not necessarily foolproof. Overturned examples abound.

Therefore, in the history of the Albert Prize, there have indeed been cases of shelving the award.

The so-called shelving of the award means that before the specific author is found, the achievement is put on hold and then evaluated after the author shows up. The maximum time of shelving is 10 years. If this period is exceeded, the achievement will no longer be able to participate in the Albert Medal. assessment.

However, in terms of the practical application proposed by Essinger, Sandra obviously did not have a good reason to refute.

Sandra is more or less selfish, and has not won any important awards in element theory for many years, which will lead to fewer and fewer young magicians investing in this discipline, so even if it is the Tulun people who won the Albert this time The medal is also good for the school behind him.

During the stalemate between the two sides, the door of the meeting room opened.

"Gentlemen, please allow me to interrupt. I just got the news that His Excellency Felix's new paper "Practical Application of High-Energy Collapse Phenomena of Water Elements in Water Spell Models" has been published in the Journal of Elemental Theory..."

Everyone, including Verne, fell silent.

for a long time.

Sandra, who should have been happy, slapped the table hard.

"Felix, this guy is really lucky."

……

……

Veronica sat on one side of the negotiating table, quietly drinking the coffee she brought from Tulum amidst the noise of arguments around her.

Although she is the person in charge of the Tulum side of the negotiations, in fact, the specific details will still be discussed with the Osteria side by diplomats who are familiar with the business.

But after two hours of negotiations, the discussions on the latest trade agreement between the two sides have not made any progress.

This is an agreement that benefits both countries.

Once the signing is successful, Tulum's merchant ships can depart from the northern port, along the west side of the Horseshoe Sea, enter the gray mist sea in the inland sea of ​​the western continent, and then go all the way to Wilna, the capital of Osteria, via the Banrsi River.

However, this agreement, which is beneficial to both countries, will weaken the weight of the alliance to a certain extent.

Therefore, from a standpoint, the observers of the Magic Federation will definitely be picky about this agreement, and it would be better if it can be messed up.

Veronica is very clear that the decision-making power for the negotiation is not at this negotiating table at all, let alone the few Austeria officials on the opposite side.

Therefore, the minds of both parties are not in the negotiation at all.

Two hours passed, and both sides were exhausted.

Veronica even saw a diplomat on Tulum's side, whispering to his counterpart on the opposite side, and smirking from time to time, apparently talking about some private matter.

Just when everyone can't sit still.

The door to the meeting was pushed open, and a middle-aged man in a magic robe went straight to the negotiator in charge of Osteria, whispered a few words, and then left without looking back.

The person in charge, who Veronica couldn't even remember her full name, then changed her previous tough attitude and showed a professional smile.

"His Royal Highness, regarding the terms of the agreement proposed by you, after the negotiation between the Grand Duke of Narmer and the noble council, it is generally acceptable..."

Veronica no longer needs to listen to the following nonsense.

In her mind came the elegant figure of Colin Wayne sitting at the desk holding a quill pen, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
