Chapter 128 Proof
As Felix, bypassing the Grand Duke of Osteria and meeting the Princess of Tulum alone, strictly speaking, it is an act of transgression and does not comply with diplomatic etiquette.
But on the one hand, Felix was in the name of the Magic Federation, and even the Grand Duke could not do anything to him. On the other hand, the great magician's character of always focusing on academics determined that his actions would not disturb the aristocratic circle.
Generating too many ideas.
Wilna, the capital of Oretrea.
Embassy of the Kingdom of Tulum.
Veronica was dressed in a princess costume and received the visiting Felix with extraordinary etiquette.
"I have met Her Royal Highness the Princess."
Although Felix was lazy in socializing, his Ostrian character did not allow him to be rude in front of a princess from another country, especially when this princess was very polite to him.
"It's an honor to meet you, Lord Felix."
Unlike Tulum and Osik, magicians have the highest status in the entire Western Continent, even higher than most nobles.
For many members of the Blue Alliance, although the Grand Duke and the King are the undisputed heads of state, their real power is not as much as imagined.
After both parties sat down, Felix wasted no time and prepared to get to the point.
It is said to be assistance, but it is actually more similar to supervision to prevent a single country from making decisions that are detrimental to the alliance as a whole.
"Your Excellency Roman Sagan is one of the magicians I admire the most, and I heard that your disciple, 'Storm Guide', happens to be your highness's fiancé. I have never dared to underestimate Tulum's magical heritage, but please forgive me.
Frankly speaking, Tulum has been stagnant for a long time in terms of elemental theory research, and there have not been many dazzling achievements recently. I am very curious about which colleague has made new progress."
Because he knew that Veronica didn't know much about magic, some of Felix's words were very reserved and not very professional, but the meaning was obvious - I just want to know who that guy is.
Of course Veronica knew this, and was relieved to hear that the other party did not ask her to agree in person.
In view of the identity of the other party, Felix did not go into too much detail, but he believed that based on the author's academic level, it should be easy to make a judgment.
Negotiations on a foreign trade agreement with Osteria are already approaching.
Felix seemed to be aware of his gaffe, and he also guessed Veronica's difficulty. After thinking about it, he changed his mind and said:
Osteria's major foreign affairs are nominally decided by the Grand Duke and a group of nobles.
"certainly."
Felix said politely, and then immediately said: "You know, Susan is my disciple. Yesterday she got back a manuscript and said it was given by your highness..."
"Actually, I don't like cumbersome etiquette either." Veronica smiled when she saw people talking to each other: "Although I know nothing about magic, I had already heard Mr. Felix's words when I was in Tulum.
It’s prestigious, so please don’t be polite.”
"each other."
Veronica put aside all her worries for a moment and prepared to read her fiancé's love letter before thinking about anything else.
Even if everything goes well, I don't know how many days have passed by waiting for my letter to pass and for Colin to write the paper and send it back.
The gryphon that carried the message for the two of them has not returned yet.
"In this case, I am waiting for the good news from His Highness."
However, according to the regulations of the alliance, the Blue Alliance Magic Federation must also send observers to assist.
But suddenly I found that this was not as simple as imagined.
Veronica had roughly guessed Felix's intentions when he came to ask for an audience, but she didn't expect the great magician to be so straightforward.
It wasn't until Felix came to visit her without an appointment that she vaguely realized that the letter was not simple.
Therefore, my fiancé has some experience in magic, and it seems reasonable to ask him, who happens to be in the Western Continent, to find someone to help verify it.
He did not continue, but believed that Her Royal Highness the Princess, who was on an ambassadorial mission to the Western Continent, could understand the meaning.
Although it seemed to be a matter of showing her face, she couldn't make a decision for Colin rashly.
"I would like to ask again, are you a friend from Tulum?"
In order to avoid misunderstanding by Veronica, a layman, he explained:
"It is very common for Tulun magicians to publish papers in the Blue Alliance."
Veronica nodded and said: "Yes, if you are referring to Lark..."
Felix said: "If everything goes well, I highly recommend to you Wilna's local "Elemental Theory" journal. It is not only the best academic journal in Osteria, but also an internal publication of the Magic Federation...
…Benefits in many ways.”
Veronica is very aware of Felix's influence within Osteria and the entire Blue Alliance. This kind of influence is different from the teacher Blanche's influence that is established solely through personality charm and connections.
She wasn't sure whether it was appropriate to name Colin Vane in this situation.
When Colin gave her this letter, she actually didn't think much about it.
Veronica hesitated.
"Your Excellency Felix, thank you for your concern and suggestions. I believe this is a result that satisfies both of us. However, I still need to ask the original owner of this manuscript. Please understand."
Especially in the more than a hundred years since the establishment of the Blue Alliance, the Magic Federation has grown stronger and stronger, and has even had an impact on the royal power and the aristocratic system.
After seeing Felix off, Veronica walked to the terrace of the embassy, thinking about how to explain the matter to Colin.
Tulum has always been inferior to the Western Continent in the field of elemental research. Although Colin Wayne has outstanding magic talent, Veronica, as his fiancée, does not know exactly how powerful he is.
The princess, who had no foundation in magic, could not continue talking for a while.
Veronica's eyes lit up instantly.
The huge gryphon descended slowly, delivering Colin Vane's letter.
In order to increase the leverage, Felix continued: "I know that Your Highness is currently discussing an agreement with our country on reducing trade taxes between the two countries. If nothing else happens, I will also act as an observer of the Magic Federation.
Participate in the formulation of the agreement..."
When she was in trouble, a cry came from the sky.
Although Felix didn't say it explicitly, the meaning behind his words was very clear - there is no decent institution in Tulum that is qualified to publish this paper.
Veronica smiled and said: "Please rest assured, I will contact my friend immediately."
"Yes."
Neglecting Blanche might only result in public attack, but it would offend Felix...the great magician had actual decision-making power within the federation branch.
"Your Highness, the Princess, please forgive me for those glib diplomatic rhetoric. In fact, my coming today has nothing to do with the affairs of the Principality and Tulum."
"He...is a friend of mine."
"Yes, I'm sorry that I can't remember such a long name." Veronica showed an awkward smile and said, "If the manuscript you are referring to is indeed the one I gave to Susan."
Veronica was speechless for a moment.
"This is not arrogance. If your friend's proof is accurate, I believe that Osteria is one of the best choices within the entire Blue Alliance."
"Your Highness, could you please tell me who the author of this manuscript is?"
"Dear Princess, I don't want to say anything against my will. At present, this manuscript has high academic value, but due to space limitations, many details cannot be judged. If your friend really wants to find someone to verify it, I I would also like him to compile this into a formal paper. If possible, I would even suggest that he publish the paper in our country's Elements Journal.
Felix continued: "Lexili's proof of the fourth conjecture about the α-surface field."
However, when she unfolded the letter and read a few sentences, she was stunned on the spot.
"Dear Veronica, if the time I predicted is not wrong, you should be in great need of the following paper now."
Looking down, I saw a bold title.
"Proof of the Fourth Conjecture of Laxili's α Surface Domain"
