Chapter 51 [Secret Society]



Ever since he boarded the sailing ship, Lin En has been thinking about what identity he should use to enter the wizarding land.

Kelu's disciple? A wizard apprentice who had only practiced magic for half a year?

If I take on this identity, it is obvious that I will encounter countless troubles.

You have to know that everyone on the sailing ship has seen how he casts spells, not to mention the explosion in the harbor town. This is definitely not something a mere apprentice can do.

As the saying goes, an innocent man is guilty unless he possesses a treasure. A weak person with a big secret will usually become the target of someone with ulterior motives.

Their identities at the moment were also very embarrassing. They were hunted down by the Holy See all the way and fled to the land of wizards like stray dogs. They also destroyed a very important shipping route. It was not surprising that they were detained and interrogated directly after arriving at the port of Yieta.

So if you want to break the deadlock, you must make some changes.

Thinking of this, Lin En looked at Johnny and asked, "Do you know why the teacher risked being arrested and went to the capital of the Duke of Nordland?"

"The teacher said that the second daughter of the Duke of Nordland has a good talent for magic..." Johnny paused, then spoke with certainty. "And we don't have enough money..."

The corner of Lin En's mouth twitched involuntarily. He knew that Kelu must have some ulterior motive in recruiting these noble children. It turned out that he was trying to get research funds...

Of course, in addition to this, there is a second reason, that is, the nobles are basically literate and have good qualities, so they don't need to be taught everything from scratch.

Learning magic itself is also a very expensive thing. For example, a copy of [Red Fire Embers] that casts fireballs costs one silver and thirty-seven coppers, which is enough for a poor family to live on for a month.

Magic is something that poor people can't afford to learn! Maybe Kelu has the idea of ​​training one or two noble wizards. Although these apprentices are not the first heirs, they don't have the opportunity to create on their own...

Lin En did not think about it further, but shook his head and refuted. "These are just cover-ups. Have you heard of the [Secret Law Society]?"

"What is that?" Johnny looked confused.

"This is a very secret wizard organization in the territory of the Sekas Empire, which gathers many big figures. When my teacher taught me magic, I had the honor of having some contact with people from the [Secret Magic Society] for a period of time." Lin En said nonsense.

Kelu's process of teaching apprentices was very casual. He would basically keep each apprentice with him for a period of time, and then throw them to a safer place to let them practice magic on their own.

That is to say, during the time when Kelu taught him alone, only the two of them knew everything that happened, and Johnny had no way of exposing his words.

"After I came into contact with the [Secret Law Society], my teacher told me that many of the research theories in the Wizarding Land were outdated outside and completely out of date...

So the teacher secretly compiled a secret research manuscript and planned to go to the capital of Nordland to meet with a colleague from the [Mystic Society]. If this operation fails, let me bring this precious research manuscript back to the land of wizards at all costs! "

In just a few words, Lin En revealed their identities as stray dogs who fled to the land of wizards to avoid being hunted by the Holy See and accidentally destroyed an important shipping route.

He became a hero who obeyed the instructions of his mentor Kelu, went through untold hardships, avoided the blockades of the Holy See, and delivered a research manuscript containing important information to the wizarding land.

As long as the research manuscript is important enough and the news it brings is explosive enough, they will not be blamed but may be rewarded instead.

"So you got the method to become a formal wizard through the [Secret Law Society]?" Johnny said thoughtfully.

"You can say that, but my situation is a little more special. This method is not suitable for others." Lin En nodded and did not correct the misunderstanding.

In the land of wizards, only official wizards have a certain status and the ability to protect themselves, which is also in line with the lowest evaluation of his strength by everyone on the entire ship.

If he doesn't want to get into trouble, he must be a formal wizard whether he likes it or not.

While replying, Lynn was also thinking about the contents of the "research manuscript" in his mind.

According to Johnny's descriptions over the past few days, the wizarding land's understanding of the world is roughly equivalent to the level of the Renaissance in Western Europe.

As long as he came up with a slightly more cutting-edge theory, it would be enough to make these wizards drop their jaws.

Due to the existence of magic, wizards have serious biases in their studies.

Despite great achievements in the microscopic field, having discovered the existence of gravity early on and having created steam-powered alchemical ships, the vast majority of wizards still believe in the flat earth theory, believing that the continent beneath their feet is the center of the entire universe.

They even used this continent as a reference to map out the orbits of every planet in the galaxy, forming a unique star theory.

Lin En had seen the so-called star movement map in Kelu's research manuscript. The entire continent was suspended in the void, surrounded by a solid magic barrier.

Then the sun and the moon moved in circles around the continents, and the rest of the celestial bodies moved in specific orbits, forming an extremely complex geometric pattern, which is also consistent with the Vatican's description of the Genesis in the Bible.

However, he has talked with Lord and others in the past few days. This world also has solar eclipses, and when sailing on the sea, the first things you see are towering mountains and towers.

In addition, if you slightly change the movement of celestial bodies in the star map and put the stars in the center, everything will become familiar again.

It can be seen that the Vatican's creationism is complete nonsense. It is impossible that [Ella] cannot even figure out whether he created a continent or a planet, right?

Of course, this kind of wrong cognition is a pitfall that almost every civilization has to fall into. To put it bluntly, it is the so-called common sense that constrains the thinking...

When people are just born, they always think that they are the protagonists and everything needs to exist around them. The continent under their feet must be an extremely special existence in the vast universe and is the center of the entire universe.

However, after in-depth research, we will discover an extremely cruel thing: let alone planets, even the entire galaxy is insignificant compared to the vast universe.

Attacking the flat earth theory as a starting point is undoubtedly a good choice. Not only is it shocking enough, there is also too much evidence to prove the fallacy of this argument. All he needs to do is tear off the shackles of common sense. Without him saying much, those wizards will naturally realize what is correct.

Lin En also intends to test the "scientific research" atmosphere of the wizard land. In the face of doubts, whether he will carefully verify and accept the truth, or try his best to suppress those voices that do not conform to the mainstream, will determine his future actions!
