A group of wild mages looked at each other in dismay. Only Jora Hinton frowned, looked at the editor, and said:

"We have long been aware of this matter, but when you informed me to come here to talk with you, why didn't you mention in advance that there would be so many fellow mages present.

Honestly, if the fellow mages present today weren't all outstanding, I might have just turned around and left."

The wild mages behind subconsciously exchanged glances.

What is going on?

Can someone tell them what's going on?

Wasn't the purpose of coming to the conference room today to deceive others out of relevant research funding, and then use the so-called reputation of a theoretical mage to spread rumors?

Many of them initially thought Jora Hinton was deliberately using himself as a joke, to warm up the crowd a bit, but now it seems he himself is the joke, and quite a natural one at that.

This guy… does he really believe his magic theory has surpassed that of the Helois Monarch?

Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but remain silent.

The mage profession doesn't accept idiots, right?

Who let this guy sneak in among them?

As for the editor of Focus World News, he instinctively wiped a hand of sweat, his hand gleaming with oiliness for a moment.

If it weren't for wanting to earn a little more income to support his family, he wouldn't be willing to leave his post, especially in the hot weather outside Golden City, to come here and talk to so many people.

Not to mention, in this kind of weather, it's truly a bit uncomfortably hot.

But for the sake of his performance, he held back the discomfort that came with being sunburned, and patiently said to Jora Hinton:

"Mr. Jora Hinton, I heard that you are very angry and dissatisfied with your research results being plagiarized by the Helois Monarch, and you intend to seek justice from them, correct?"

Jora Hinton nodded and said: "You really have an eye for this. The Jora Hinton theory is definitely the most capable research in complementing the current deficiencies in the mage academia's theoretical system.

But now everything that rightfully belongs to me has been completely replaced by that highly publicized war mage system."

When he said this, the editor of Focus World News instinctively brightened up.

Yes, yes, this sound is right! Very newsworthy!

He could already imagine how popular the daily contents would be once published.

So he wiped the sweat seeping from his forehead again, moved closer, cleared his throat, and said:

"The thing is, we learned that you once elaborated on research content similar to the war mage system back then, and it was rejected by Bella William Manchester Monarch when submitted to the Truth of Magic journal.

Now that we are informed about this situation, we want to conduct further coverage on what happened at that time."

"Didn't you say you could provide financial support for my research?"

Jora Hinton's voice slightly raised.

If it weren't for trying to get a little research funding from this person, he wouldn't have spent valuable time waiting in the conference room today.

"Of course, support will definitely be given. I have already prepared the relevant demon crystals, just waiting for the right time to deliver them to everyone.

But for this matter, I hope all participants in this plan can show the pride of being mages.

Do you really think your theories are inferior to those mages who firmly occupy the top echelons of mage academia with old-school mage forces?"

When he said this, he couldn't help but show a sincere smile on his face:

"Funds will surely be provided, but don't you think the mage academia is quite distorted now? Think about it, those nobles with ample wealth can easily go much deeper and further on the mage path.

And for wild mages like you, who aren't accepted or recognized by any mage force, this is such a painful realization.

Now even those with dirty incubus blood flowing in their veins gain recognition in the mage academia because they are nobles. Isn't such a situation breaking your heart?"

Jora Hinton's expression turned somewhat strange.

Because the person saying this to him was an editor of Focus World News. By rights, someone belonging to the race from Holy Briania shouldn't really be making such statements.

After all, although the leadership of Holy Briania has now been rapidly taken over by the growing human population, Holy Briania remains a special state of theocracy, maintained under the joint influence of multiple righteous churches.

The main races believed by gods from different churches aren't exactly the same, and quite a few of them have nothing to do with humans.

Under such circumstances, hearing words emphasizing lineage and original sin would inevitably evoke subtle discomfort.

But, without saying much, they truly are adept at talking. Within just a few sentences, they successfully incited his anger.

Indeed, though he submitted his magic theory to the editorial department of Truth of Magic, why was it that his magic theory was forcibly labeled by Manchester Monarch as "insulting to intelligence and a waste of magic power"?
