Riding on an airship for the first time up to a height of thousands of meters, feeling the cold wind and watching the white clouds flying by, Tik and Roll felt a little excited in their hearts, but on the surface they maintained a calm appearance.
Although they had been in Yieta Harbor for several days and had the opportunity to take an airship at any time for only ten silver coins, the two of them were too embarrassed to join the civilians.
As the pilot, Lydia sometimes deliberately drives the airship into the clouds, allowing everyone to experience the wonderful feeling of being soaked by the clouds.
Luo Er reached out his hand and touched the cloud that was coming towards him. "This is a really good alchemical creation. It can actually allow ordinary people who don't know magic to experience the feeling of flying freely in the sky like a great wizard."
Tik thought of the use of airships in transportation, which means that the time to travel between places can be reduced by more than half. If it can be popularized, it will be very convenient to travel in the wizarding land in the future.
"This thing shouldn't be cheap, right?" Tik asked.
"It's a little expensive." Lin En nodded seriously. Although the overall cost of the airship is not high and can be replaced with some cheaper materials, the design concept is very valuable! Then Lin En asked how the previous academic seminars were held.
Tik recalled the grand occasion in previous years when thousands of wizards gathered together to talk about the new theories developed by the school and demonstrate the latest magic developed.
What impressed him most was the discussion about the nature of fire by several top schools of thought twenty years ago. Dozens of hypotheses were put forward, hundreds of formal wizards argued with each other, and even a fight broke out in the venue.
For example, the theory of fire element is sought after by a group of wizards. They believe that fire is an entity composed of countless tiny and active microscopic elements that cannot be perceived by magic for the time being. It exists in substances and elements that can burn, and will separate under high temperatures. A large number of free fire elements gather together to form flames visible to the naked eye.
The evidence is that after an element burns, it does not completely disappear, but will produce or transform into other elements. This must be caused by the separation of the fire element.
However, this theory has many loopholes and cannot be recognized by all wizards.
There are also theories of flame magic and flame phlogiston that compete with this. Some wizards even believe that flame is just a state and a manifestation of the violent movement of elements, and the so-called fire element does not exist at all...
"Then what?" Lynn asked curiously.
"The founders of the last few mainstream doctrines agreed to perform the most powerful fire magic they created."
"The final winner was the great wizard Adela. The new magic he developed, [Fire Element Storm], had an ultra-high temperature of tens of thousands of degrees. It almost killed another great wizard, and thus won the debate. So now the theory of fire element is prevalent in the land of wizards..."
Tik said with nostalgia that he didn't know when he would see such a wonderful debate again.
Of course, although the theory of fire element won the victory, the wizards who opposed this theory did not give up. They have been concentrating on studying new fire magic in the hope of turning the tables. However, until now, they have not been able to surpass the theory in terms of magic power.
Is this possible? Listening to Tik's story, Lin En didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
But if you think about it carefully, this seems quite normal. In the land of wizards, knowledge equals power, and whoever has the most powerful magic has the most profound research.
When it is impossible to argue who is right or wrong, magic is undoubtedly the only way to solve the problem. After all, the bigger the fist, the more powerful it is.
All I can say is that this is a debate method that is unique to the Wizarding Land.
"By the way, I heard that the wizards from the prophecy school are preparing to refute your theory at the seminar. They seem to have found some errors and omissions. You'd better be careful then." Tik suddenly seemed to remember something and reminded.
A person may be very knowledgeable, but that doesn't mean he will be good at debate...
Although it is impossible to refute the truth through sophistry, it will be very embarrassing in the debate...
"Are they also trying to use magic to 'refute' it?" Lin En paused.
"It shouldn't be that serious." Tik said uncertainly. Although there have been conflicts caused by disputes at seminars over the years, they generally don't get to the point of fighting.
"What about the legendary wizards? Will they also be present at this seminar?" Lin En asked.
"I don't know about that." Tik shook his head. In fact, legendary wizards seldom participated in academic seminars. Unless there were topics of interest or very important matters, it was usually an outstanding formal wizard in the school who would explain the new theories.
Since this was Lynn's first time attending a seminar, Tik explained to him various precautions in great detail.
Lin En also wrote them down one by one, and then asked about the information of the legendary wizards in the parliament.
However, these high-ranking speakers were very mysterious, and Tik didn't know much about them. The most discussed one was the legendary wizard Harrof! This gentleman also came from outside the wizard land. It was rumored that he only started to learn magic in his thirties, but he was very talented. Even though he missed the best time to learn magic, he still set foot in the realm of legendary wizards.
However, unlike other legendary wizards, Harulf had very few apprentices, only a handful. According to this lord, he only needed some people to help him and did not need to spend much time on teaching students.
"Is he the one who proposed that gravity may exist widely in any object?" Lin En said in surprise.
"That's right." Tik nodded. "After your planet theory was released, it was also Lord Harov who flew into the sky first to confirm that the continent might be spherical."
Is it because of the planet's gravity? Lin En immediately understood why the legendary wizard was so concerned about this conclusion. After all, this should also be what the other party is studying.
The law of universal gravitation? Lin En pondered for a while. He had already prepared an invitation letter for the [Secret Law Society]. He was still hesitating whether to give it to Raphael or August. After all, the Yieta School did not have a great wizard as a backer, which was ultimately a hidden danger.
Now that I think about it, the legendary wizard Harolf might be a better choice...
