Chapter 51 [Secretary Society]
Since boarding the sailing warship, Lynn has been thinking about what kind of identity he should enter the Land of Wizards.
Kelut's disciple? An apprentice wizard who has only practiced magic for half a year?
If he takes on this identity, it is obvious that he will encounter countless troubles.
You must know that everyone on the sailing warship has seen himself cast a spell, not to mention the explosion in Harbor Town. This is definitely not something a young apprentice can do.
As the saying goes, a man is innocent, but a pregnant woman is guilty. A weak person with a big secret will usually become the target of those who want to.
Their identities at the moment are also very embarrassing. They were hunted down by the Holy See all the way, fled to the land of wizards like bereaved dogs, and destroyed a very important shipping line.
So if you want to break the game, you have to make some changes.
Thinking of this, Lynn looked at Johnny and asked. "Do you know why the teacher took the risk of 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..." Jonny paused, and then said confidently. "And we don't have enough money..."
Lin En's mouth twitched involuntarily. He knew that Kelu must have some kind of conspiracy to recruit noble children like them. The feeling is that the research funding came...
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 have to teach everything from scratch.
Learning magic itself is also a very expensive thing. For example, a piece of [Red Fire Embers] that releases the fireball technique requires one silver and thirty-seven coppers, which is enough for a poor family to live frugally for a month.
Magic is not something poor people can learn!
Maybe Kelu still has the idea of cultivating one or two noble wizards in his heart. Although these apprentices are not the first successors, they have no chance to create by themselves...
Lin En didn't continue to think deeply, but shook his head and retorted. "These are just cover-ups, have you heard of the [Secret Society]?"
"What's that?" Jonny looked confused.
"This is a very secret wizarding organization in the Sekas Empire, which brings together many big figures. When the teacher taught me to learn magic, I had the honor to have contact with people from the [Secret Society] for a period of time." Lynn said nonsense.
The process of Kelu teaching apprentices is very random, almost every apprentice is brought with him for a period of time, and then he throws them to a safer place and lets them practice magic by themselves.
That is to say, during the time when Kelu taught him alone, only the two of them knew everything that happened, and Jonny couldn't break through his words.
"After I came into contact with [Secret Law Society], the teacher once told me that many research theories in the Land of Wizards have long been outdated outside and completely out of date...
So the teacher compiled a secret research manuscript in private, and planned to go to the capital of the Nordland Territory to meet with a colleague of the [Secret Society], if this operation fails, let me take this precious manuscript at all costs Research the manuscript to bring back to the land of wizards! "
In a few words, Lin En changed their identities from the bereaved dogs who fled to the land of wizards in order to avoid the pursuit of the Holy See and accidentally destroyed an important air route.
Became a hero who obeyed the instructions of his mentor, Kelu, worked hard, escaped the siege of the Holy See, and sent a research manuscript containing important information to the Land of Wizards.
As long as the research manuscript is important enough and the news it brings is explosive enough, instead of being blamed, they may be rewarded.
Is that so? Jonny looked at a loss. Kelu had never talked to her about the [Secret Society], and Lynn's expression didn't look like he was joking.
"So you got the method to be promoted to an official wizard through the [Secret Society]?" Johnny said thoughtfully.
"You can also say that, but my situation is a bit more special, and this method does not apply to other people." Lynn nodded, but 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 make trouble, he must be an official wizard whether he wants to or not.
While replying, Lynn was also thinking about the contents of the "Research Manuscript" in his mind.
According to Jonny's descriptions these days, the understanding of the world in the Land of Wizards is roughly equivalent to the level of the Renaissance in Western Europe.
As long as he comes up with a slightly cutting-edge theory, it is enough to make these wizards drop their jaws.
Due to the existence of magic power, wizards are very biased.
Although they have made great achievements in the microscopic field, they learned about the existence of gravity early on, and even created a steam-powered alchemy ship, but the vast majority of wizards still believe in the flat earth theory, thinking that the continent under their feet is the entire universe center of.
Even using this continent as a reference, the trajectory of every planet in the galaxy was drawn, forming a unique set of star theories.
Lin En once saw the so-called star movement diagram in the research manuscript of Kelu, the entire continent is suspended in the void, surrounded by a solid magic barrier.
Then the sun and the moon move in a circle around the continent, and the rest of the celestial bodies move in specific trajectories, forming an extremely complex geometric pattern, which is also very consistent with the Holy See's description in the Genesis chapter of the Bible.
But just switch the positions of these celestial bodies a little, put the star in the very center, and everything becomes familiar again.
It can be seen that the creationism of the Holy See is completely nonsense, [Ella] I can't even figure out whether I created a continent or a ball, right?
Of course, this kind of erroneous cognition is a pit that almost every civilization has to step on. To put it bluntly, it is the so-called common sense that constrains the mind...
When a person is just born, he always thinks that he is the protagonist, and everything needs to exist around him. The continent under his feet must also be a very special existence in the vast universe, and it is the center of the entire universe.
However, after in-depth research, you will find an extremely cruel thing, let alone planets, even the entire galaxy is an insignificant existence to the huge universe.
It is undoubtedly a good choice to attack the flat earth theory as an entry point. Not only is it shocking enough, but also has too much evidence to prove the error of this argument. You only need to tear off the shackles of common sense, and you don't need to say anything. Those wizards It will come naturally to recognize what is right.
Lin En is also planning to use this to test the "scientific research" atmosphere in the wizarding land. In the face of doubts, whether to carefully verify and accept the truth, or to suppress those voices that do not conform to the mainstream will determine his future actions!
