Ernest, one of the largest cities in Midland, has a long history. It was established as early as the ancient magic empire. Ernest is most famous for the huge star gate in the center of the city, which is the first star gate found on the mainland. Its discovery marks the beginning of the human step out of this continent and stepping into the half plane process. In any history book, Ernest is the most famous star gate Ernest's name is recorded in the book of Coe.

After landing slowly and stopping steadily, the passengers under the guidance of the stewardess get off the raft and take the steam carriage to the reception hall of the airport.

"It's my first time in Ernest!"

Claire took Lena's arm and looked around excitedly. She was wearing a long beige skirt, a cream white short sleeve coat, and a pair of strapped sandals. She was very cool and fashionable.

Previously, due to the family affairs of alimia, Claire had the opportunity to visit Ernest, but the time was short, so Claire chose to go directly to alimia's hometown to join Lena, which was a year ago.

"It's no different from other Midland cities, steam, rivets, mechanical carriages running through the roads, and the wet fog that often doesn't see the sun."

Lena is the usual double breasted dress, he did not like the average midlander wearing a silk bonnet, but let some messy gray hair in the mist.

"Midland attaches importance to the development of machinery. People here are more like engineers than mages. They make huge floating boats, steam carriages and lighting systems covering the whole city."

In Midland, the largest number of factories is not alchemy workshops, but all kinds of factories. Especially around the developed cities, a large number of factories not only provide many necessities for the city, but also provide a lot of work. At the same time, some low-cost factories lack the ability to deal with pollutants, which leads to the poor environment of these factory areas, the most obvious is the pollution The dense fog that covers the city and the wet fog of industrial dust mixed with water vapor can easily lead to respiratory diseases, which has been controversial all over the world. However, for the sake of development, the Midland Federation has never taken it seriously.

Lena thought of the problem of blackbody radiation from the lighting system. This problem is actually due to the demand brought by the widely used lighting system in Midland Federation. Engineers urgently need to find the relationship between metal wire luminescence and temperature. However, unexpectedly, this small electric light has brought great changes in the magic world.

As Mr. Bragg said, some people read historical legends, but think that it is just a simple story. Some people look at the ingredients on the potion, but see the truth of the universe. Any great discovery is never out of thin air, but from small problems, thinking, progress, and finally can be revealed.

This time, unlike his last uninvited and hasty visit to Ernest, Lena did receive the invitation. No matter where he lived or how he traveled, there were arrangements from the magic association.

The two arrived at the hotel in a rental mechanical carriage, which was exactly the hotel they stayed in during the Ernest conference last year. It seemed that Mercury balance had reached some kind of agreement with the hotel.

As soon as he entered the hall, Lena was called by the receptionist.

"Is that Lord Lena Ian gray?"

He looks very young, and his eyes lit up as soon as he saw Lena.

"Mercury balance has arranged a deluxe suite for you. I'll take you there."

"Thank you."

Lena nodded politely, followed the receptionist to take the elevator to the tenth floor and found Lena's suite.

"Ah, Sir Ian gray, I have an invitation..."

Before Lena was ready to open the door and enter the room, the receptionist said shyly.

"Can you sign it for me? It's a shame. I was also a receptionist here at this time of last year. I had a brief exchange with you at that time, but I missed it before I could sign it."

"Is that so?"

Lena recalled and found that it seemed that there was such a thing, but it was not clear what the receptionist looked like at that time and whether he was the same person as the present one.

However, he was very generous to sign for the receptionist and watched him enter the elevator at the end of the corridor excitedly.

"Lena is a celebrity, too."

Claire smiles, pushes the door and walks into the suite.

Different from the narrow single room that Lena lived in last time, this room is spacious and bright. It has a large living room, independent bathroom and bathroom. Through the living room is the bedroom. Through the French windows, you can see the star gate in the center of Ernest. The huge star gate looms in the fog. It is independent of the city's row upon row of high-rise buildings, just like some kind of space Creation from a different world gives people a strong sense of heterogeneity.

"Ah, it's a big soft bed!"

Clare came to the bedroom and was immediately sucked in by the double bed. The whole person was deep in it and made a happy voice.

"The day after tomorrow is the opening of the Ernest conference. I may need to take time to discuss academic issues with you these two days. After the official opening, I will be a little busy for two days. When everything is ready, we can have a good time in Ernest city."Although Ernest is mostly foggy and the natural scenery is not unique, due to his long history, there are many buildings that have been standing since the ancient magic empire period, with quite strong cultural features, such as the oldest alchemy workshop, Sophia alchemy workshop, and so on.

But in recent years, due to the serious industrial pollution, some ancient buildings have been damaged to some extent. It is said that Ernest City councillors are looking for plans to protect these historic sites, in order to try to suppress the power of factory owners.

Of course, these are not what Lena needs to consider. He just needs to take Claire on a good tour in Ernest.

After enjoying the soft big bed for a while, Claire packed up his clothes and went to the bathroom to take a bath to relieve the fatigue of the journey. Lena sat in the living room and read the unfinished works on the floating boat before. Soon, the desk on one side of the living room flickered. This is a transmission array that only luxury suites can have. It was set up in advance by the mercury balance in this hotel.

Lena picked up the letter. It's a message. It's very short, just one sentence.

"3 p.m., conference room 3, Ernest Convention Center, seminar on the speed of light - Frederick Demetri."
