However, the crowd's doubts did not last long.
The legendary wizard, who had been wandering in the sky for several days and nearly got lost, finally came back and brought news that shocked everyone.
The continent beneath their feet might indeed be round!
This shocking news instantly swept across the entire Wizarding Land. Regardless of whether they believed it or not, everyone remembered this strange name, Lin En from outside the Wizarding Land!
……
"Professor Lynn!"
The next morning, after finishing an Olympiad Mathematics class, Lin En was thinking about which creature's spiritual essence to use as a basis for advancement, but his thoughts were interrupted by a voice.
"Mr. Rawl, is there anything wrong?" Lin En looked at Rawl behind him in surprise and asked.
"This is today's Magic Daily. You probably haven't had time to read it yet?" Luo smiled and handed a newspaper to Lin En.
After seeing the specially enlarged titles above, the corners of Lin En's mouth twitched involuntarily.
[Overturning the foundation of magic - the law of free fall], [The roar from the Secret Society: The magic theory of the wizarding land is already outdated]...
"Are you trying to cause trouble for me on purpose, Lord Rawl?" Lin En could already imagine how big a storm would be in the entire wizarding land.
"How is that possible? I'm just an ordinary writer. It's not up to me to decide what content to publish." Luo Er shrugged and said jokingly. "And I just repeated what you said."
Lynn rolled his eyes, the rest was fine, but he didn't say anything about overturning the foundation of magic or anything.
"You don't have to worry. An elder from the parliament has already ascended to the sky to confirm that the continent beneath our feet may indeed be a sphere." Roll said with emotion. Even now, he still found it a little unbelievable.
Confirmed from high up in the air? How high up would that be?
Lynn's face was filled with astonishment.
Although the planet is round, the size of this thing is really too big. If it is based on the size of the earth in the previous life, it needs to rise to a height of 100 kilometers above the ground to see a more obvious curvature...
Of course, maybe the planet under our feet is not that big, or maybe the legendary wizard's eyesight is very good, but it must be at least more than ten kilometers to observe the arc with the naked eye, which is close to the height of the earth's ozone layer in the previous life.
However, this saved him a lot of trouble. In this way, the two theories he proposed were verified by facts, and with the endorsement of a legendary wizard, he could avoid a lot of trouble.
"I think the invitation letter from the parliament should arrive in a few days," said Luo Er.
"Invitation?" Lin En was stunned for a moment and asked in confusion.
"Of course it's an academic seminar. The Wizarding Land holds it every year, and each school of thought will send people to participate." Luo Er explained, "And your airship, Lord Tik has already submitted the patent application for you."
“Next time we meet, I must thank him properly,” Lin En said with a smile.
At night, Lin En entered the manor again as Ladakh. Several crucibles placed on the laboratory table kept bubbling. He recorded the positions of all the objects through the intelligent computer, and now they are still intact. Obviously, no one else has come in during this period.
After checking the progress of the potion brewing as usual, Lynn took the "Album of Magical Creatures" and started to look through it.
It has to be said that as a three-ring wizard who has lived for a long time, Radak has a large collection of books, and a lot of them are knowledge that cannot be obtained in the college library.
For example, this "Atlas of Magical Creatures" indicates the spiritual essence content and strength in the brains of more than ten common magical creatures. Normally, the stronger the creature, the more obvious the increase in mental power will be after being promoted to a formal wizard.
The only thing that worries Lin En is that the Ladak manor only has the spirits of fire lions, petrified lizards and griffins. The strength of these three magical creatures can only be considered medium, and Lin En is not 100% sure of completing the promotion.
After all, the original body Carl's magical talent was only average. If he had not traveled through time and space and the fusion of his two souls strengthened his mental strength, it would have been impossible for his magic power reserves to grow to the limit in just two months.
While he was thinking, a slight wave of magical power suddenly jumped up in the closed secret room.
Lin En subconsciously became alert and looked towards the place where the magic fluctuations came from. Under the broken tiles, something was flickering faintly.
[Hand of the Mage]
Lin En raised his hand and cast a spell, and the broken floor tiles were quickly lifted up. An exquisite ring floated up from underneath and was brought in front of him.
Ring of the Faceless Man?
Lynn recognized it immediately, but it was not the one he had received, but a relic from Ladakh.
He had previously thought that this thing had long been burned by the white phosphorus fire, but he did not expect it to be so hard that there was no sign of damage at a high temperature of thousands of degrees, and it was constantly flashing with fluorescence.
According to the description on the envelope, this should be the signal for a rally.
Calculating the time, it is indeed the day for the Faceless Men to gather.
Lin En's expression changed involuntarily. As Radak's soul had been scattered, many things could not be confirmed in person. He could only guess that the blueprint of the aerospace airship was obtained from Ralph's brain by Radak using soul-searching witchcraft.
However, there is no mention in the notes of any need for the use of aerospace airships.
Therefore, it is highly likely that Ladakh did not need this thing himself, but obtained it for others.
Lin En hesitated for a moment, and soon made a decision. Perhaps he could attend this gathering as Ladakh and find out the truth about the Faceless Man...
Here, Lin En carefully input a trace of magic power into it.
It was an extremely strange feeling, as if my vision was instantly split into two halves, one half was the scene in the secret room in front of me, and the other half was a dark space...
Chapter 101 It just so happens that I also have some research on the human body
The body seemed to be in chaos, surrounded by darkness. In front of him, a dozen figures were arranged in a circle, with a faint glow of magic on their bodies.
Lin En glanced over and found that everyone's appearance was illusory, constantly surging like unstable water waves. He could only vaguely distinguish their height, weight, and the changes in facial expressions.
[A virtual scene is detected. Do you want to analyze it and search for the signal source? ]
A prompt sound suddenly rang in Lin En's mind, almost scaring him. When he noticed that no one around him was moving, he realized that the voice of the intelligent computer could not be transmitted into this space through magic.
Yes……
Lin En responded quietly in his mind. He was also very interested in this strange space. He didn't expect that he would have unexpected gains when he came to participate in the rally as Ladakh.
However, after taking a look at the progress of the analysis, the corners of Lin En's mouth twitched involuntarily, because the progress of the analysis was very slow.
About two minutes later, the number of illusory figures in this special space stopped increasing. Lin En counted and there were fifteen people in total, including himself.
"Is everyone here?" asked the witch opposite.
"Number 4 hasn't been here for a long time, right?" Another person next to him shook his head.
"Maybe he died somewhere? Who knows? Stop talking about useless things and just start!" A tall and thin shadow interrupted the two people's discussion impatiently, then looked at everyone and spoke.
"Let me start by talking about the human body. If you are not interested, you can go away..."
As soon as these words were spoken, the five phantoms immediately disappeared.
Lin En watched silently without moving.
The tall and thin figure spoke quickly. "According to my research, there are more than 200 bones and more than 600 muscles in the human body. Muscles are composed of thin long threads. If you break it down further, it becomes a strange tissue structure composed of four basic elements..."
As the tall and thin figure spoke incessantly, the people present were either in deep thought or laughing quietly. From time to time, someone asked questions, and the wizard answered them patiently.
After the explanation was over, the eight people except Lin En stretched out their hands together and flicked a transparent coin over.
Do I need to pay to listen to this knowledge?
Lin En thought of this immediately, and since it could be brought in directly through magic, it should not be ordinary currency.
"Number 7, do you have any objection to what I said?" The wizard who spoke turned to look at Lin En with dissatisfaction. His illusory body kept shaking, which was a sign of anger.
According to the rules, if you don’t want to listen, you can just skip it and leave, but the other party listened to it but was unwilling to pay!
Under the gaze of dozens of eyes, Lin En was silent for a while, then smiled and said, "You can think so... In fact, I already knew the knowledge you mentioned. It's not new and it's not helpful to me..."
However, these words made the wizard extremely dissatisfied, and Lin En continued to speak without waiting for his rebuttal.
"It just so happens that I have also done some research on the human body. For example, the lines that make up the muscles you mentioned, I named them muscle fibers. The total number of muscle fibers in the human body is about 6 billion, and they are composed of 73% water and 27% protein... As for bones, they are composed of collagen, calcium, phosphorus and other components..."
Lynn spoke eloquently and expanded upon the wizard's previous speech. Not only was he more detailed, he even explained the proportions of the elements that made up these substances.
The illusory shape of the tall and thin figure kept changing, and his face became gloomy. Although he had no idea what terms like protein and collagen were, there was some information he already knew but deliberately concealed.
This means that the other party is not cheating, but actually has a deeper understanding of the human body.
"It seems that these coins should be left to number seven." Seeing that the tall and thin wizard said nothing, the witch sneered, but when she looked at Lin En, she couldn't help feeling a chill in her heart. How many human bodies did the other party dissect and study to have such a profound understanding?
How were the six billion muscle fibers counted?
"You win this time!" The tall and thin wizard looked grim and threw the transparent coins he received towards Lin En.
Lin En used a bit of his magic power to take the coins into his hands, and the prompt sound of the intelligent computer sounded again.
[Unnamed energy detected. There are similar records in the database. Can it be converted into energy? ]
This time, Lin En chose "no" calmly. In view of the fact that so many people were watching him, he had no intention of studying it immediately.
"Since you've taken the money, can you tell me what the so-called protein and calcium are?" said the tall and thin wizard with a dark face.
He was naturally very unhappy about Lin En stealing his limelight, but the weird terms mentioned by the other party made him feel itchy.
"Protein is an important component of all cells and tissues in the human body. It is composed of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen and other elements..." Lin En said a few very general words. As for some more detailed things, he evaded the question with the excuse that they had not been studied clearly yet.
The people present did not raise any doubts. The study of magic could not be accomplished overnight. In fact, they were already surprised that Lin En could conduct such in-depth research.
Although there were some minor incidents in the middle, the first lecture ended quickly and the figure that had disappeared before reappeared in this chaotic space.
Then another wizard came forward and talked about psychic magic.
The entire meeting lasted for several hours, and everyone talked about knowledge that was not convenient to communicate openly. However, here, everyone could speak freely, and even talk about the details of their human experiments without any concern.
The analysis progress of the intelligent computer also increased to 3%. Lin En listened very carefully and threw out three coins he had received before.
After the meeting, the Faceless Men agreed on the time for the next gathering and then adjourned the meeting.
Upon hearing the news, Lin En's expression turned a little strange. Was the meeting just going to be adjourned like that?
He thought someone would question why the new members recruited before did not show up, but no one mentioned this matter at all.
Judging from the previous conversations between these people, this Faceless Organization can only be described as loose, as if it is just a place for each other to exchange knowledge.
Just as Lin En was about to leave this virtual space, a wizard next to him suddenly spoke.
"Number three, number seven, number eleven, number fifteen, you stay for a while."
Chapter 102: Hunting the Eye of Death!
Soon, there were only five people left in the chaotic space.
There were three men and two women including himself. Lin En took a quick look, but due to lack of information, he did not take the initiative to bring up the topic.
