After all, it's not a good idea to stay in the rest room of the magic seminar every time I come. Although it's quite spacious here, it's not very convenient because there are so many people and too many eyes.
In the six months since arriving in the wizard's land, relying solely on the income brought by the airship and the looting of the manor in Ladakh, he has accumulated nearly five thousand magic gold coins, which is enough to buy a nice manor anywhere outside the prosperous area of Greenriel.
……
"Magic Missile!"
The next evening, in the training ground, the girl shouted softly, and dozens of flashing magic missiles appeared in the void.
Alok, Pierce and others beside him were not to be outdone. They used the most powerful magic they knew. Several fireballs and ice blades intertwined together, aiming directly at Lin En who was not far in front of them.
However, the latter did not make any movement, and the flames and ice blades were separated by some mysterious force before they touched his body... and passed directly by him and hit the wall behind him.
At first glance, it looked like several apprentices deliberately avoided Lynn and acted as the shooters for the human body outline.
However, Alok and Pierce knew that with a distance of only ten meters and facing a non-moving target, there was no way they would miss!
"Eh~" Lin En did not relax his vigilance just because he easily defended against the attacks of several people. He was even more keenly aware that the magic missile released by Johnny was flying slower than he imagined, and it exploded directly after touching the deflection force field.
There seemed to be nothing inside, but Lin En could sense that the hydrogen content in the air around him was rapidly increasing.
At the same time, Johnny stretched out his left hand and crossed his right hand over his left wrist. That was the starting posture of Touch of Fire!
The weak flame expanded rapidly within a second, and the hot fire stream instantly ignited the hydrogen around Lin En!
Immediately afterwards, a violent explosion sounded in the practice room, and thick smoke mixed with extremely burning flames rushed to the surroundings. Both Alok and Pierce showed horror on their faces. This was almost as destructive as a third-ring magic!
It was the first time they knew Johnny was so powerful!
"Could it be that Professor Lin En was... seriously injured?" Alok stared at the thick smoke and said uncertainly when he saw no movement for a long time.
How is it possible? Johnny rolled his eyes at Alok, panting lightly, and stopped chasing. Such precise magic coordination consumes a lot of computing power. Even for Johnny, who has become a formal wizard, it is not an easy task.
Amid the billowing smoke, Lin En's powerful voice came out.
"Hydrogen explosion? Interesting... Johnny, you have learned both elements and mathematics very well, but you didn't grasp the ratio of hydrogen to oxygen well. The correct ratio should be 2:1."
After the smoke and dust cleared, Alok and the others discovered that Lin En was still standing there unharmed, not even the corner of his clothes was lifted at all, which made Alok's scalp tingle.
Even an attack that was close to three-ring magic couldn't make Lin En move at all. How could he fight?
Although it was just an exercise, Alok and Pierce had already begun to feel like giving in. Only Johnny was still full of fighting spirit. She had always wanted to measure the gap between herself and the professor.
"Now it's my turn. Are you ready?" Lin En said with a smile.
Elrod and Pierce swallowed hard, and Johnny was also facing a formidable enemy.
Under the gazes of the three people, Lin En stretched out his hand, and his index and middle fingers trembled slightly, as if he was plucking the strings of a guitar...
Chapter 162 Resonance Magic and Space Vibration Waves
Seeing Lin's strange movements, Alok was frightened and took a step back, but soon found that there was no fire or frost coming out, and he was not attacked at all.
"What is the professor doing?" Pierce was also confused. He couldn't be threatening them, right?
"This should be some kind of new magic!" Johnny guessed, then looked at the two of them and spoke very quickly. "Our only chance is to use offense as defense. This time I will be the main attacker and you will assist!"
The two men nodded without any other ideas. When they were about to cast a spell again, their bodies suddenly paused. Alok's face became extremely ugly, and he fell to the ground without warning.
Pierce and Elroc beside him behaved in the same way, with their right hands tightly clutching their chests, veins bulging on their foreheads, as if they were in great pain.
Johnny's condition was slightly better. She barely supported her body and avoided falling to the ground. She felt as if her heart was being pinched by someone. It beat in rhythm with the trembling of Lin En's fingers, sometimes as fast as thunder, sometimes as slow as mud and sand. This strange and uncomfortable feeling instantly deprived the girl of the ability to resist.
The brain also became dizzy due to blood supply problems. After about two or three seconds, this feeling gradually subsided, but the next moment the lungs and liver were attacked in the same way.
"I surrender, I admit defeat!" Alok, who was lying on the ground, kept twitching and shouting loudly, with a look of fear on his face.
Seeing that the three people had reached their limits, Lin En stopped releasing new magic to avoid any side effects.
It took Johnny, Elrod, and Pierce several minutes to recover. They looked at Lynn with fear and dread. They almost thought their hearts were about to explode, but they had no idea where the attack came from.
"Professor, what kind of magic did you just cast? Some kind of curse?" Alok asked in shock. This strange magic even reminded him of the curse witchcraft that was widely circulated in the wizarding land.
"Of course not!" Lin En shook his head in amusement, keeping the question in suspense and not intending to explain.
In fact, the principle of this magic is to use the resonance phenomenon. Scientifically speaking, it is the tendency of a physical system to absorb more energy from its surrounding environment at its natural vibration frequency.
According to the terminology commonly used by wizards, everything in the world is made up of elements, and they all have certain inherent frequencies. When the frequencies of two objects tend to be consistent, they will affect each other.
For example, the average resonance frequency of the human body is 7.5 Hz, and each part has its own resonance frequency. The internal organs are 4-6 Hz, the head is 8-12 Hz, and so on.
Lynn's method is to create a miniature magic wave, making the vibration as close to the frequency of the heart as possible, thereby triggering a resonance phenomenon, causing the amplitude and frequency of the heart to suddenly accelerate, causing damage from the inside.
Not only is this magic difficult to detect, but the attacks act directly on the molecular and atomic levels, making it difficult to defend against unless one is prepared in advance.
However, in the experiment just now, Lynn also realized that a formal wizard like Johnny could withstand resonance magic much better than the two apprentices, Alok and Pierce.
Although he intentionally reduced the power of magic to avoid casualties, it can be seen that it is not an easy task to use the principle of resonance to directly kill those powerful wizards. It is good enough to cause a slight impact at certain important moments.
This is a magic that works by surprise, and it is also the reason why Lin En chose to keep the principle of the magic secret, so that no one can develop corresponding protective magic.
Johnny and the others were extremely curious about this strange witchcraft that seemed like a curse, but seeing that the professor had no intention of revealing anything, they could only suppress their curiosity and ask.
"What about the magic that defended against fire and ice?"
"That's called a deflection field!" Lin En did not hide it this time.
"Deflection force field? Isn't that a fourth-ring magic? Professor Lin En, have you broken through to the realm of a great wizard?" Philip, who had been watching from the sidelines, said in surprise and excitement. Being able to use force field magic freely is one of the signs of a great wizard.
Johnny, Alok and Pierce also looked at Lynn in surprise.
No wonder such a powerful explosion just now couldn't do anything to us. It turned out to be a four-ring magic. This deflection force field is just like a turtle shell, leaving people helpless.
"No, it's not." Lin En shook his head, denying the speculation of Phillip and others, and then said with a smile. "It's just a trick. I named it [Secondary - Deflection Field], which should belong to the upper three-ring magic."
After calculating the gravitational constant, although it can effectively reduce the difficulty of performing force field magic, the [Deflection Force Field] was originally only cast by great wizards. Due to the gap in magic power and computing power, the protective effect is naturally not as good as the original version and can only be classified as inferior.
Moreover, force field magic is not invincible. Matter and energy themselves can affect time and space, so it is possible that it can be broken by those powerful spells.
The second issue is the magic consumption. Even if the usage requirements are lowered, the consumption of magic power is still extremely terrifying. Even when the magic power is at its most abundant, it can only last for a short fifteen seconds.
The strange resonance magic that Lin En just released was a by-product of his research on force field magic.
Previously, when fighting with Hellram in the Howling Tower, the opponent had released a ripple magic with a very wide range. In order to avoid this magic, Lin En was almost pierced into a hedgehog by the flying iron thorns.
He was deeply impressed by this, and these days he had been thinking about how to combine this ripple magic with force field magic.
Through an extremely strong magic wave, the curvature of space is changed, making time and space vibrate like water waves, thereby breaking through the enemy's defense and killing the enemy from the spatial level. Lin En named this anticipated magic [Space Vibration Wave]!
However, based on the principles of magic, it can be seen that it is at least a fourth-ring or even a fifth-ring magic. Lin En's several attempts all ended in failure. With his current computing power and magic reserves, it is definitely not enough.
Unless I can use the computing power of others to temporarily break through my own limit like I did before, maybe I can reach the minimum standard for releasing this magic...
Chapter 163: How much do you know about the Holy See, our enemy?
Philip was somewhat disappointed that Lin En failed to be promoted to the great wizard, but he quickly adjusted to it. After all, with Lin En's talent, it was only a matter of time before he was promoted.
Moreover, in recent days, with the spread of the law of universal gravitation, the Iyeta School has become very popular. In the past two days, he has received hundreds of invitations to banquets and academic seminars, including some from top schools.
It’s a pity that Lin En never left the house, and postponed everything on the grounds of focusing on researching new magic.
"Do you know what people outside call you now?" Philip asked jokingly.
Lin En shook his head. He hadn't gone out at all in the past two days, let alone caring about this.
"Greenrill's twin stars!" Philip exclaimed in amazement.
The so-called twin stars, the other one is of course August, the most talented wizard in the history of the wizarding land.
He came into contact with magic at the age of twelve, became a formal wizard at the age of sixteen, and was promoted to a great wizard at the age of twenty-four. The speed was so fast that it was a miracle. It was for this reason that he was given the title of Magic Star.
This also means that in most people's minds, Lynn has risen to the same level as August.
Philip looked around and saw that there were no outsiders here, so he lowered his voice and continued, "There are even many people who think that compared to Master August, you are the most glorious magic star!"
Johnny, Alok, and Pierce all looked at the professor with admiration.
Lin En frowned. This kind of flattery was unacceptable. He didn't know if someone was deliberately allowing the spread of this kind of news.
As we were chatting, there was a knock on the door.
"Professor, someone is looking for you outside." The door of the training ground was pushed open a crack, and Lydia's head popped in from outside the door and said coquettishly. "It's Master August!"
Several people present were stunned for a moment at the same time. They had just talked about this great wizard and they didn't expect that he would come to them.
You're not here to cause trouble, are you?
Lynn and Philip looked at each other, but neither of them wanted to chase the guest away, so they asked Lydia to take the magic star to the reception room.
Three minutes later, Lynn, who had changed his clothes, arrived at the reception room with Philip, Johnny, and Alok.
"Welcome to my humble abode, Master August!" Lin En walked forward and greeted him with a smile. "I just heard from Lydia that you have something important to discuss with me?"
"That's right." Ogust nodded, with a slight smile on his face, as if the recent rumors had not had any impact on him.
Auguste's easygoing attitude made Philip secretly relieved.
Although Lin En is now famous and has won the appreciation of the legendary wizard Harof, he is not afraid of him. However, August is the star of magic after all and has considerable influence in the land of wizards. If possible, it is better not to conflict with him.
"I heard from Luo Er that you, Mr. Lin, just crossed the sea from the Secas Empire to the Yieta Harbor three months ago." August straightened his face and asked again. "I wonder what you think of the development of the Wizard Land in the past period of time?"
"In general, the academic atmosphere here is very good. In all aspects, it is much better than the Sekas Empire." Lin En pondered for a while, searching the memories of his original body, and said with certainty.
Compared with the Earth in the previous life, the land of wizards is undoubtedly still in a wilderness. But if compared with the Sekas Empire, whose science, culture and living standards are still at the end of the Middle Ages, it is much more advanced!
"Is the place beyond the Mist really as dilapidated as the rumors say?" asked Luo Er curiously.
"That's not the case. At least the nobles and clergy live in castles and luxurious manors." Lynn explained with a hint of mockery. The convenience brought by divine arts is no worse than that of magic, but it is a privilege that only a very few people can enjoy.
"By the way, Master August, why are you asking this suddenly?" Lin En asked puzzledly.
"It seems that you don't know the recent wind direction in the wizarding land." August shook his head and explained.
Due to the theories proposed by Lynn at the seminar and the action of measuring the circumference of the planet, many conservative wizards who were complacent began to tend to explore the world outside the wizarding land. The originally weak and progressive faction rarely gained the upper hand.
The parliament has been troubled by this issue.
"Yieta Harbor is the most important port leading to the Sea of Misty Sea, so your decision is very important." August said solemnly. This was the purpose of his coming here.
Hearing this, Lin En thought for a moment and did not respond immediately. "So... are you here on behalf of the parliament this time?"
