Greetings, Mister Principal

Chapter 126: The End of the Accident

Reiner guessed that at this time, Fina's father had already received feedback from the world, because the element he discovered should be an element of extremely special nature, and it was also a noble gas-like element that had not yet been discovered.

In this way, many doubts could be explained, such as why Fina's father could persist for so long even if his body became in such a bad state. It was because he had received feedback from the world.

However, without in-depth research, the effect of the feedback was not obvious. According to the experimental records, he found a special type of mineral in the Sur mountain range when he first discovered this new element.

The Sur Mountain Range was uninhabited, and only a variety of wild beasts were entrenched here all year round. However, seven years ago, there were many strange incidents of the death of wild beasts. The corpses of these wild beasts were washed down the small stream in the mountains to the lower reaches, which caused the townspeople of Sur to panic.

Fina's father went deep into the mountains several times, and finally found a beast's cemetery four years ago.

According to records, there was a valley there, but the surrounding plants had withered and died. In the center surrounded by countless animal bones and rotting corpses was a small pit, where a stone with the color of obsidian was lying quietly.

Fina's father did not approach the stone rashly, because all the signs indicated that the stone might be the culprit who killed these beasts.

However, this stone was very similar to the ore that was rumored to be able to treat Fina's similar diseases, and Fina's father was unwilling to give up.

He chose to build a hut at a certain distance from the stone and continue the experiment.

Through research, he found that this stone had the characteristic of continuously emitting energy outwards. This energy could be captured by the electromagnetic array, and it showed traces that were completely different from other elements on the receiving board. At the same time, this energy was also very destructive and could kill life tissues. Fina's father used some small animals in cages to conduct experiments and found that the fatality rate was almost 100%. Even if they did not die under energy irradiation, serious lesions would occur, and it would soon cause those animals to lose their lives.

Fina's father collected all these materials and prepared to go to a larger city to find professional equipment for verification. In his diary, it was written that he met a mage who was on a business trip in a city near the town of Sur. He explained his findings to the other party, but the person didn't seem to care and left soon.

After that, he visited several alchemy workshops, but these places either did not have the experimental equipment needed by Fina's father, or thought that he was talking nonsense. In the end, Fina's father returned empty-handed. But he still didn't give up. He decided to collect more data and then directly send it to the Rainbow Tower.

The change happened at this time.

First of all, even though he kept a considerable distance from the unknown stone, many years of research still affected Fina's father. There were already many diseases in his body. He who was only in his thirties looked no different than a seventy-year-old man.

Then, Fina's father used an electromagnetic magic circle and a special container made of heavy metal to successfully block the energy released by the stone. He sealed the stone with this, and prepared to find a suitable research institution before taking it out.

But the people in Sur town did not give Fina's father this opportunity.

A group of young people often see Fina's father coming in and out of the Sur Mountains. They thought that he must be doing some evil research in the mountains. These young people who had been taught the evil of mages since childhood naturally would not let him do this, so they secretly followed him. While Fina's father wasn't paying attention, they hit the back of his head with a stick, snatched the sealed stone in his hand, and fled.

These young people thought they killed Fina's father, but they did not expect that Fina's father was not dead. After he woke up, he first found that the box containing the stone was missing, and then recalling the faces of those young men that attacked him, he dragged his severely injured body and crawled back to the town of Sur step by step. He knocked on the doors of the young people's homes, hoping to find the sealed stone.

However, these townspeople did not believe Fina's father and beat him, who was already seriously injured. In desperation, Fina's father returned home and recorded all this, and prepared to find Lord Baron who was in charge of the place.

Seeing that Fina's father was not dead, the young men sneaked into the tower again, trying to kill him, but before the crime could be carried out, they were interrupted by visiting Dr. Philip. They lied that Fina's father had already fainted when they came here.

The above part was actually Reiner's guess, because after being hit in the back of the head, Fina's father was actually not sober. The content of the diary was messy and scribbled. According to what he saw, Reiner restored the matter to this way.

At least one thing was certain, that was, the stone with the characteristic of radiating energy outward should still be in the home of the young man who attacked Fina's father that day.

Reiner did not notice any signs of energy overflow when he walked into the town, which meant that at least the box had not been opened yet, but according to Fina's father's research, if it was opened in a densely populated place like this in the town, then the consequences would be unimaginable.

After reading all of this, the day was already breaking. Reiner raised his head, looked at the sky, and sighed.

In just one night, he seemed to have experienced the life of Fina's father. He felt sorry for what happened to this mage, and also angry at this town.

Reiner got up and began to sort out Fina's father's experimental data based on the records in the diary, preparing to take it away. He didn't know if the Magic Association would publish papers under the name of the deceased, but he knew that these things should not be buried.

He went out again, visited Dr. Philip, and advised him to leave the town as soon as possible.

Dr. Philip smiled and told Reiner that in fact, he was also about to retire. In the past, he stayed here because of his friendship with Fina's father. Now that Fina's father had passed away, he was also preparing to apply for retirement and go back to his hometown to spend the rest of his life there.

Reiner explained to Dr. Philip about the dangerous box and told him that he had better set off immediately. He must leave Sur Town in these two days. Dr. Philip wanted to say something, but after looking at the town in the morning light outside, he eventually nodded silently.

When he returned to the tower, Reiner discovered that Fina had woken up. She saw the experimental data he had compiled and the diary left by her father.

The young girl burst into tears at this time, and her heart was filled with regrets that she had never had before.

Reiner didn't know how to comfort Fina, so he stroked her head lightly and said softly.

"Let's go home, Fina."
