Chapter 225: A Wizarding Land as Beautiful as Heaven

For the next two days, Abel was trapped in this small room, suffering from both physical (hunger) and mental (watching others eat) torture.

He even thought of various ways to escape from the clutches of the devil, such as climbing over the wall while going to the toilet, or secretly using the edge of the bed to prop up the shackles in the middle of the night in an attempt to break them. However, he was caught by Irving and beaten up.

After being beaten several times, Abel, who was so hungry that he had no strength left, had to temporarily give up the idea of ​​escaping. The temptation of food became stronger and stronger.

It was not until the evening of the next day that Abel finally couldn't bear it anymore. He waited until Owen started to enjoy his dinner, then he carefully picked up a piece of white bread, ready to take a small bite to replenish some energy.

Even if some psychedelic substances are added to it, small doses will not have much effect.

Abel took a bite with a fearless look. The soft and glutinous texture of the white bread immediately spread on his tongue. The instant stimulation made Abel, who had been hungry for two days, almost cry. He immediately forgot about his face and the non-existent danger and ate with relish.

A bite of white bread, paired with the delicious beef sauce, this feeling is simply irresistible...

At this moment, he seemed to have arrived at heaven from hell!

Owen looked at Abel who was eating voraciously and was not surprised at all. He thought that someone with a confused mind like him would be fine if he starved for a few days.

Owen, who had suffered from hunger many times as an experimental subject in the past, could naturally understand that feeling, so when Abel went on a hunger strike to show his determination, he simply ignored him.

After a delicious meal, Abel collapsed on the bed. His original idea changed a little. He no longer sought death. He decided to keep his body useful and gather some information. What if he escaped?

Moreover, over the past two days, Abel has also keenly noticed some strange things. Although his magic power has been suppressed, the other party has not completely restricted his personal freedom.

If he wanted, he could wander around the manor, but someone would follow him, and if he showed any intention of running away, he would be beaten up.

"Are you really from the land of wizards?" After two days of silence, Abel looked at Owen and asked for the first time.

"Of course." Owen nodded.

"Where is the land of wizards? How did you come to the Kingdom of Hadratha?" Abel asked continuously.

Owen hesitated for a moment before saying, "I need to ask Master Lynn if he can tell you."

"Wait..." Abel hurriedly stopped Owen who was about to stand up.

Over the past two days, he had vaguely sensed that this kid named Owen was an honest child, without so many messy thoughts, and at most he just used too much force.

He is an excellent target for questioning, but if he reports this to the wizard named Lin En, his plan will be ruined.

Thinking of this, Abel quickly calmed Owen down, skipped those sensitive topics, and said that he was just very interested in the so-called wizard holy land, so he wanted to learn about it.

Under Abel's constant indirect questioning, Owen told him what he saw and heard in the wizarding land...or to be more precise, in the harbor of Yieta.

What about an airship that is bigger than a house and can allow ordinary people to fly into the sky? An alchemy vehicle that can travel across the entire city in just one hour... The wizards at the Magic Research Institute have also developed an alchemy machine that can automatically sow and cultivate the land...

These almost fantastic words made Ebel wonder if he had misjudged the person. He didn't expect that this boy looked honest, but was very good at fooling people.

"Yieta has built a lot of new factories recently. As long as you are willing to work hard, no one will go hungry!" Owen said seriously.

This was unthinkable a year ago!

Owen, who was born in the South City, is well aware of the arrogance and indifference of the wizards. In their eyes, the worthless poor are just tools for experimenting with magic. Therefore, Owen has no good feelings towards wizards. But Lord Lin is different!

Lord Lin will provide high amounts of relief funds to the poor people who were affected by the South City tragedy, rent out the obsolete steamboats to fishermen for free so that they can fish farther away, and send wizards to kill the more ferocious sea beasts in the nearby waters.

Before he left Yieta, there were rumors that Lord Lynn was preparing to build a large ship made entirely of steel, install the latest internal combustion engine, and make a very large fishing net that would be able to drag dozens of tons of sea fish back to the port in one trip.

At that time, everyone's lunch will include white bread and an egg or tomato, as well as a grilled fish.

Many townspeople thought that this fantasy was unrealistic. How could a large steel ship float on the sea? Even if it was made using magic, no one would use such a giant steel ship to fish.

But Owen firmly believed that Lord Lynn would not lie, and every word he said had come true, no matter how ridiculous it sounded.

Abel just listened to Owen bragging about someone's great achievements, and his expression became more and more strange. In the other party's description, the wizarding land was as beautiful as the paradise promoted by the Vatican.

Does such a place really exist?

A place where there is no hunger and even the poor can eat white bread and grilled fish.

The sincerity in Owen's words made Abel a little confused for a moment. Was it true or false...

While I was thinking, a loud noise suddenly came from outside the door.

Abel subconsciously stood up from the bed. His first reaction was that someone came to rescue him, but he quickly rejected this guess because he did not hear any panicked shouting or explosion caused by the interweaving of magic.

"It should be the airship carrying cargo that has returned." Owen was not surprised at all. After calculating the time, he quickly came to the conclusion.

"Airship?" Eble paused for a moment, then realized that it was the alchemical machine that Owen had just mentioned, which was bigger than a house but could allow ordinary people to fly into the sky. "I want to go out and take a look!"

Owen did not stop him either. Lord Lynn only asked him to monitor Abel to prevent him from escaping, and did not restrict his actions in the manor.

The two of them quickly opened the door and went outside.

On the open grassy field in the manor, Lord and the others had already been waiting there. Everyone looked up at the sky, as if they were waiting for something...

But there was nothing in the sky except the blue sky and white clouds...

Chapter 226: Only smart people can see this airship!

"Where is the airship you mentioned? Where is it?" Abel looked up, but saw nothing but the blue sky and white clouds, so he asked mockingly.

"Lord Lin En said that only smart people can see it when it flies!" Owen scratched his head and said weakly.

Ebbel was choked up immediately and glared at Irving with great annoyance, wondering if the other party was deliberately playing a trick on him and making up something that didn't exist to fool him.

Just as I was thinking about it, a dull sound came from the front, and the ground seemed to shake slightly.

Abel quickly turned his head and found that the vast grassland in the distance looked a little strange, as if it was pressed down by something heavy.

Then, as the polarizing magic was lifted, a huge object as tall as five or six-story houses turned from virtual to real and soon appeared before their eyes.

It is blue-green all over, and its surface is covered with strange alchemical patterns. The cockpit below looks like a towering ship, tied to the huge oval airbag above by sturdy chains, looking majestic.

Abel couldn't help but gasp. This is the airship? !

Does the legendary wizard land really exist?

The huge and majestic airship in front of him undoubtedly refreshed Abel's cognition, and made him realize that Owen's words just now might not be a lie to deceive him.

As the cockpit door was lowered, several wizards in robes walked down from the airship, one of them holding up several heavy boxes with his [Mage's Hand].

Compared to the astonished Abel, the servants on the side were already accustomed to it. They came forward one by one to help carry boxes of glass products into the house.

Lord soon discovered that there were more people coming to support this time than before. In addition to seven official wizards, there were more than a dozen halflings, and even Lydia, Darren and others came.

But this is normal. It is said that Lord Lin En is preparing to make a very powerful alchemical instrument, which requires a lot of manpower.

While thinking, Lord did not dare to be idle. He walked onto the airship and together with everyone else, carefully moved an "iron box" more than one meter high from the airship.

"What is this?" Seeing how cautious everyone was, Abel couldn't help but ask curiously.

"It's called an alchemical internal combustion engine. It's a product of technology and magic, and it's the source of power... Of course, it can also be used to assist in generating electricity!"

Lynn's figure appeared out of nowhere beside him, scaring Abel greatly.

But soon, Abel's attention was drawn to Lynn's words.

Auxiliary power generation? Could it be some kind of alchemical device that can cast thunder magic?

"Dean Lin En... Weren't you still in the college this morning?" Lydia looked at Lin En who suddenly appeared in front of her with surprise, and almost suspected that she was hallucinating.

It was clearly eleven hours ago that Lin En said goodbye to me at Yieta College.

Could it be that the dean can run faster than the airship...

"You can understand that I used a magical magic." Lin En said with a smile, and then led everyone into the temporary magic laboratory, and Abel hurriedly followed.

At this moment in the magic laboratory, a group of wizards were arguing about something around a giant magnet that had been cut...

"Have you found anything out from your research?" Lin En asked casually. Magnetite is one of the specialties of the Kingdom of Hadratha.

This kind of ore that can absorb iron is believed by the church to be a divine stone with unique powers, so it is strictly controlled. It took Lord a lot of effort to get such a large piece of magnetite.

"Dean... this ore is very magical. It can spontaneously attract some metal products without any magic. Moreover, two magnets can attract or repel each other..." Orlando said with interest. He was very interested in this magical ore.

"This thing can generate a magnetic field, so it can absorb those metal products..." Lin En explained with a smile. He had also read some magic books about electromagnetic effects in the wizarding land, but there were very few wizards who studied this thing.

After all, there is no magnetite in the wizard's land, so the only two things that can be used as samples are the lightning in the sky and the bioelectricity of the creatures themselves...

"Magnetic field?" Orlando paused.

The last thing called "field" is the gravitational field. According to the theory of universal gravitation proposed by Lynn, it is a kind of adsorption force caused by the distortion of space, which acts on any object.

But this kind of magnet can only attract certain things...

"Dean, is this also a phenomenon of gravity?" A wizard from the Iyeta School hurriedly asked.

"No, magnetism is magnetism, and gravity is gravity..." Lin En shook his head. Seeing that everyone present was extremely curious, he began to explain.

“As we know, everything is made up of elements, and inside the elements, electrons are constantly spinning and revolving around the nucleus, and both of these movements will produce magnetism.

The special thing about magnets is that they have magnetic moments, and the elements inside them are arranged neatly according to a specific rule, thus forming a strong magnetic field..."

They were confused by Lin En's explanation of the principle and could only simply understand that the arrangement of elements inside the magnet could spontaneously form some kind of magic. It was a naturally formed alchemical creation, so it possessed magical powers.

"Then why is it that only iron can be sucked up?" Orlando asked in confusion.

Lin En smiled and did not answer directly. He picked up an iron sword and placed it on the cut huge magnet. The two immediately fit tightly together.

About five seconds later, Lin En pulled out the iron sword with all his strength and placed it on an iron block.

The iron block trembled slightly, and after a moment it jumped up spontaneously and attached itself to the sword.

This magical scene amazed everyone present.

Lydia also had a curious expression on her face. Although Lin En had explained to her the principles of frictional electricity and the adsorption of small pieces of paper a few months ago, the two seemed to be different.

Mr. Dean, didn’t you rub the iron sword just now?

"Lord Lin, what is going on? Is it a phenomenon of magic conduction?" Orlando was completely confused. He could only rack his brains to use the magical knowledge he had mastered to explain this strange phenomenon.

For example, the magic originally stored in the magnet was transferred to this iron sword.

Because magic power can flow within specific substances, this is also the principle of some enchantment magic.

Chapter 227 Electromagnetic Effects

"No, this has nothing to do with magic, and it can't be described by conduction..." Lynn shook his head, rejecting Orlando's guess.
