Compared to Roll, who was born in a wizarding land, knew nothing about the outside world and was rather blindly optimistic, Lin En naturally thought more.

To make a simple logical deduction, if the power accumulated in the Wizarding Land is enough to defeat the Holy See, then the Parliament has no reason to reject a wider world.

Then there is only one possibility, the power of the Church is not comparable to these wizards! Goddess... [Ella]

Lin En couldn't help but think of the terrifying shadow he saw before escaping from Harbor Town.

If the power of a wizard comes from magic, and he relies on knowledge to release magic and gain the power to change the world, then what is divine art, and why can it be superior to wizards and magic?

This is also the most confusing question for Lin En after coming to this strange world. Those clergymen seem to be able to use divine magic simply by relying on firm faith.

Due to Lynn's wavering attitude, this private conversation had to end hastily.

After Roll and August left, Philip hesitated for a long time before asking, "Professor Lin, is the power of the Holy See really that strong? Even the [Secret Law Society] has to succumb to its rule?"

"The Secret Society is just an academic organization that studies magic." Lin En shook his head. "Don't forget, this world is huge. It's not just about the power of wizards and the church. I can't be sure how many scholars are from more distant countries. I'm afraid they may not be willing to interfere in the affairs here..."

Lin En was patching it up again, fearing that one day the wizards would destroy the Church and rule the empire, and then they would not be able to find anyone. That would be very embarrassing.

…

Late at night, in Greenrail City, in an old manor.

Hundreds of wizards in formal attire gathered in the hall, reverently listening to the speech of a middle-aged wizard. His voice was hoarse and low, with a unique charm. "As we all know, this world is moving from order to chaos. Our endless demands for elements have angered the great elemental spirits. The end of all living things is coming..."

"When the four stars hang high in the sky, parallel to the silver moon, the elemental spirits will bring down judgment, the earth will sink, and the whole world will fall into the terrifying elemental torrent, until the silver moon will be pulled towards this continent and completely destroy everything!"

"And the parliament is still deceiving us today. They keep us here, deprive us of our freedom, and guide all wizards to indulge in the plunder of elemental power, accelerating the coming of the end of the world..."

"Now, there are only five years left before the final judgment of the elemental spirits. We must make everyone give up the idea of ​​controlling and enslaving the elements and restore the elements to order. Otherwise, only eternal darkness and death will be waiting for us."

"Now let us pray for the forgiveness of the great elemental spirit and obey the will of the elemental spirit, and He will grant us even more powerful power!"

As the middle-aged wizard gave his passionate speech, the atmosphere in the entire hall gradually became heated. Fanaticism appeared on every wizard's face, but a few of them looked hesitant.

A young witch hesitated for a long time before speaking. "But, Lord Lin En said at a seminar a few days ago that this kind of five-planet conjunction is a very normal astronomical phenomenon, and it is related to the cycle of the planets. We only need to find the lowest common multiple of the cycles of several planets to infer the time of the next five-planet conjunction, which occurs about once every seventy years."

In addition, the speed of the stars themselves and the gravity form a new balance. There is no air resistance in a vacuum, so the speed will not drop suddenly. Therefore, the moon will not fall down. "

Then she was interrupted before she could finish her words.

"absurd!"

An angry expression appeared on the wizard's face. He looked viciously at the young witch who raised the question and scolded her harshly.

"The wizard who claims to be from the Sea of ​​Mist is nothing but a sinister and cunning liar. He tried to deceive us with a magic trick in such a foolish way..."

"This world must be flat, otherwise the sea would flow backwards and everything would fall into the bottomless abyss!"

"Just think about how we would live in a curved world. The land would be impossible to cultivate and houses could not be built on a rough road surface."

The wizard continued in a rhythmic voice. "If what they said is true, then why did they measure the angle between the earth's center and the earth's center in the depths of the ocean far away from us? Who among you has witnessed it with your own eyes?"

"All we saw were the two paintings they brought back, the news of a so-called successful experiment, and that stupid pendulum driven by alchemical magic..."

As the wizard continued to talk, the wizards in the hall who originally had some doubts soon regained their faith.

"What a bunch of brainless lunatics." At this moment, Aiden, who was hiding in the corner of the hall using shadow magic, looked at the wizards who kept echoing as if they were possessed, with a mocking look on his face.

This so-called doomsday theory is completely groundless speculation. I don’t know if the wizards of these doomsday sects have seawater in their heads. They actually believe in the doomsday and the incomprehensible elemental spirit...

Comparing this with the scene a few days ago when Mr. Lin En used an irrefutable rigorous experiment to prove the star picture at the seminar, Aiden couldn't help but sigh.

This is the academic spirit that a wizard should have!

"Don't you think things are a little strange, Aiden?" Next to him, another sheriff had a solemn look on his face. He felt that the wizards who came to the meeting were in a bad mood. Even when he was listening to their speeches, he couldn't help but feel a bit of inexplicable fanaticism in his heart.

Perhaps this is some kind of magical influence.

Aiden soon noticed this after being reminded by his companions. He looked at the red-robed wizard who was chattering on the podium, and recalled the information about the Doomsday Cult in his mind.

This strange sect was born about fifteen years ago. It was not called this name at the beginning and could only be regarded as a relatively unpopular academic research organization at best.

Many of the theories proposed are highly consistent with the elemental theory of the legendary wizard Artok, such as the world is constantly moving from order to chaos, elements may have consciousness, etc.

However, in the past three years, there have been some changes. Not only has it started to use the name of a sect, but its speech has also become very radical, and it has begun to promote the so-called elemental spirits.

Now it has even developed to the point where people are openly opposing parliament.

Aiden vaguely realized that things might have been beyond their control.

"You continue to watch here, I will report the situation here to Lord August." Thinking of this, Aiden ordered in a low voice. If these people were left alone any longer, they might really cause some trouble.
