I Pioneered Scientific Magic-Chapter 302: Is the Dean a Legendary Wizard?
"Incredible fabric reaching thousands of meters? Is this made with magic?" Ham asked incredulously. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
"This was developed by Lord Lynn, something called a weaving and sewing machine, requiring no magic. Even ordinary people can handle it with ease. If we had enough raw materials, the production could easily double!" Orlando's words carried a strong sense of superiority. The rapid development of Iyeta was astounding, changing almost every week!
As they spoke, a finely crafted alchemical carriage parked beside them.
Orlando invited Anthony and others to board.
In the past few months, the technology of internal combustion engines had matured. These alchemical vehicles were now categorized for various purposes: some for ore transportation and others for city commuting.
The one before them was undoubtedly the latter, designed for sightseeing. It was almost twice the size of other alchemical carriages, accommodating twenty people, equipped with a canopy to shield from sunlight and rain, and now sporting inflatable tires, eliminating the constant jostling.
Its only downside was its moderate speed; it couldn't race through the city. But for newcomers like Raydell, it felt like flying, far faster than a horse-drawn carriage...
Ham sat stiffly on the soft leather seat, feeling as though everything around him resembled exquisite artwork. Even the noble lords couldn't enjoy such treatment.
Orlando took everyone on a tour of the entire harbor city, showcasing the smoky workshops. Ham had heard that Lynn planned to construct something called 'rails' to connect cities in the wizarding realm. This way, traveling between the cities would take only a few hours, making transportation of goods and people extremely convenient.
Lastly, they learned about the political system in the wizarding realm, different from the outside—the Wizard Council!
Here, there were no nobles or kings; everything was controlled by wizards!
Raydell and others were suppressing their astonishment. Arriving at this magical wizarding city, they felt like everything they saw and heard challenged their understanding.
Steel behemoths weighing hundreds of tons that could float on the sea, alchemical carriages moving without beasts of burden, and the grand railway network connecting a dozen cities—everything was simply unimaginable.
At one point, Raydell even doubted if he was still dreaming.
"According to the Dean, the power of magic and technology isn't just for battles but for daily life, providing convenience for everyone," Orlando smiled, explaining.
"Lynn is truly an incredible person..." Flora couldn't help but admire. From Orlando's words, it was evident that this harbor city wasn't like this from the beginning. It transformed only after Lynn became the leader of the Iyeta sect.
"Since the entire wizarding realm is controlled by the council, Lynn should be one of the council leaders, right?" Flora continued to inquire.
"No, the Dean arrived from the Seccas Empire only two years ago. Although many magical theories proposed are enough to change the existing system, the position of the council leader has always been held by legendary wizards." Orlando shook his head, dismissing Flora's speculation, then added, "Of course, every wizard knows it's only a matter of time before the Dean becomes the leader."
So, Lord Lynn isn't a legendary wizard?
Flora and the others were surprised. They had all witnessed the thunderstorm that descended from the sky one night, instantly destroying the entire mansion. Such power could only be achieved with legendary magic.
Curious and puzzled, Flora continued asking about Lynn.
Orlando also became interested. Lynn hadn't been in Iyeta for long, but the experiences were legendary. From demonstrating airships and free-falling laws to calculating planetary areas and proposing gravitational laws, Lynn had even received the highest academic honor—the Sun Crown Medal in the wizarding realm.
To elaborate on all of it might take hours.
Flora and the others were dumbfounded. Before they could recover from the shock of standing on a spherical continent, they heard another absurd message: according to Orlando, Lynn was just a Third Circle Wizard.
How could that be?
Everyone present was astonished, even suspecting if Orlando was playing a trick on them.
Even Anthony was quite surprised, but upon considering Lynn's unusually young appearance, he quickly wore a pensive expression.
About fifteen minutes later, the alchemical carriage stopped at the gates of the academy.
Flora, Anthony, Raydell, and others got off the carriage. Upon lifting their heads, they saw the most iconic structure of the Iyeta Academy—a pair of hands built with pure white marble, each hand holding a wooden and iron ball, lifting them high into the sky.
The apprentices returning to the academy, like Elok, couldn't help shivering, as it reminded them of free-falling formulas.
According to the Dean, they had to participate in their graduation exam upon their return, a test unlike any they had faced before. All the formulas and theorems they'd been taught before were within the scope of the exam. Nightmares were the only way to describe it.
"Welcome to Iyeta, everyone!" a clear voice resonated, and Lynn appeared with a group of academy wizards.
"Dean!" Elok and the others quickly bowed and saluted.
Orlando warmly hugged Kevin and the others, reuniting after a long absence.
"Orlando, haven't you noticed any change in the Dean?" Kevin asked, smiling.
"A change?!" Orlando paused, looking at Lynn with suspicion. After a long while, he suddenly realized something and exclaimed, surprised. "Could it be that you've advanced to become a Grand Wizard?"
Lynn casually nodded.
Kevin looked regretful. "It happened last night. It's a pity you missed such an important moment."
Orlando also felt regretful; he should have returned a day earlier.
Anthony, also a Grand Wizard, wasn't surprised at all. Upon seeing Lynn for the first time, he sensed the presence of a domain.
As for their previous encounters being magical projections, he couldn't assess, but now he was certain: Lynn, like himself, was a Grand Wizard.
