Chapter 229: I am just a cripple who knows neither magic nor divine arts!

The tightly closed secret room was finally opened, and Anthony walked out slowly. The wizards gathered outside immediately surrounded him.

"Teacher, are you okay?" The nearest witch rushed forward and tried to support Anthony.

Just now, even from the outside world, they could hear the rumbling thunder in the secret room. The energy intensity had reached the level of fifth or sixth ring magic, which was much more dangerous than any previous experiment.

"Fula, I'm fine, nothing serious." Anthony waved his hand to refuse the help of several people, then shook his head and sighed. "It's a pity that I still failed!"

"Teacher, you just need some time. There will always be the next thunderstorm." The witch named Fulla said comfortingly.

It is by no means an easy task to open up a new path of magic. It is already extremely great that her teacher can control the natural force of thunder and create the corresponding magic.

Anthony nodded, dragged his tired body, and prepared to go back to the room to rest for a while, but then he seemed to remember something and asked again. "Where is Abel? Is there any news about him recently?"

Abel was one of the people he sent to investigate William, and he had been missing for several days, which made him think of the worst possibility.

"I heard that a battle took place in a remote street in the royal capital four days ago. People nearby heard a thunderous roar. It is also rumored that a large number of priests rushed there at that time. It is very likely related to Abel's disappearance." Another wizard said worriedly.

Anthony frowned slightly. It seemed that Abel had most likely revealed his whereabouts and was captured or even killed by the clergy of the Vatican.

However, at this moment, a loud noise suddenly came from a distance, followed by a servant running in hurriedly and reporting.

"Master Anthony, Abel... Abel is back!"

"Oh?" Anthony paused.

Fula and the others also showed joy on their faces. "How is Abel now? Did he escape from prison?"

"Lord Abel looks fine, but Lord Leir has already started arguing with him because he did not come back alone, but brought a very important guest with him." The servant replied cautiously.

"How dare he bring outsiders here?" A hint of anger appeared on Fulla's face.

This is the school's headquarters. If the news leaks out and attracts people from the Vatican, the consequences will be disastrous.

"Could it be that Abel was coerced by someone?" One of the wizards immediately thought of this.

Abel had been missing for several days. Now he suddenly came back safe and sound. He couldn't help but wonder if the other party had betrayed them.

"That's impossible. I believe he won't betray us." "How can I believe that? Did he ask Master Anthony for permission before bringing outsiders in?" "He stayed outside for several days. If he wasn't caught by the Vatican, how could there be no news at all?"

Wizards from several schools were arguing with each other, and Fulla, who had recovered from her shock, asked about the appearance of the person brought by Abel.

"It's a lame man who knows neither magic nor divine arts! He said he has something very important to discuss and wants to see Master Anthony." The servant responded hesitantly.

Upon hearing this, Fulla and others were stunned, not understanding what Abel was doing.

"Then let's go and take a look!" Anthony said thoughtfully.

Several wizards nodded, followed Anthony outside, and soon arrived at the conference hall.

Most of the wizards and apprentices residing in the school gathered here, surrounding the two people in the center, their eyes full of vigilance.

As soon as Fulla came in, she saw the middle-aged man standing next to Abel. He was hunched over, leaning on a cane, had an ordinary look, was even a little bald, and his only advantage was that he was dressed decently.

After a quick glance, Fulla turned her gaze to Ebel and angrily scolded him, "Are you crazy, Ebel? How dare you bring outsiders into the school without permission?"

"I know exactly what I'm doing, Fulla!" Abel said firmly, then looked at Anthony and saluted respectfully. "Master Anthony."

"I'm glad to see you back safe and sound, Abel, but I think you should first explain where you have been for the past four days and who is the friend next to you?" Anthony's tone was very calm, but it revealed a sense of irresistibility.

"Master, this story all started a few days ago..." Abel immediately recounted the whole story in general, and then said that he had been a 'guest' in the manor for the past four days and had been 'treated' very well.

"And this one is the messenger from the wizard land of Greenrill, Mr. Loud!" Abel introduced.

"Grinrill? The wizard holy land that only exists in rumors?" Fulla asked in astonishment.

"Is there really such a place?" the wizard at the side also questioned.

"Of course it exists!" Lord nodded and said politely. "Good afternoon, Master Anthony. Master Lin En asked me to express his sincerest greetings to you on his behalf."

"Tell me your purpose." Anthony said directly.

"Lord Lin En hopes to talk to you about cooperation. We have the same interests and enemies, and that is to destroy the rule of the Holy See!" Laud said righteously.

Anthony looked at Lord and did not respond. Even with Abel's guarantee, he could not trust a force that came out of nowhere and called itself the Land of Wizards.

"In addition, Lord Lin En has also done some research on lightning, and I hope to have the opportunity to discuss it with you." Lord added with a little hesitation.

"So you wanted to spy on the secret of thunder magic!" Leir shouted angrily.

"That's impossible!" "Expel him, no, lock him up directly, and don't let him reveal our whereabouts!" "Thunder magic is not something you can covet..."

The wizards present were also very excited, thinking that what Lord said about cooperation was just an excuse, and that the other party's real purpose was to steal the treasures of their school under the name of the so-called wizarding land.

Abel's expression became a little embarrassed, because many of these words were what he had said before.

However, it turned out that his face was swollen...

Chapter 230: Your thunder magic is meaningless in front of me!

Seeing his colleagues becoming increasingly agitated, and even suggesting that Laud be imprisoned and interrogated, Abel quickly spoke up to explain.

"Everyone, I can guarantee with my life that what Mr. Lord said is true. The wizarding land really exists. It is on the other side of the foggy sea!"

Abel said this with certainty. Although he had never been to the wizard's land in person, the magic craft could not be faked. Whether it was an airship that was bigger than a house but could fly into the sky invisible, or an alchemical instrument that could produce electric current, there needed to be extremely solid magic theory to support it.

The most important thing is that before leaving the manor, Lynn demonstrated to him an "interesting gadget", which completely defeated Abel's doubts.

Because their so-called thunder magic is completely meaningless in front of the other party!

Abel's courage to use his life as a guarantee made some wizards hesitant.

However, Leir and others were more convinced that Abel must have betrayed them.

Anthony raised his hand to stop the quarrel, looked at Loud, and said in a deep voice, "Since you said you came from the land of wizards, where is the evidence?"

"Our airship is parked outside the royal capital right now. If you are interested, you can go to the wizard's land to check it out in person." Lord said solemnly.

Fula couldn't help herself. This was a trap. But before she could refute, Loud spoke again. "In addition, Lord Lin also asked me to bring a very interesting gadget as a gift. Please allow me to demonstrate it. I think you will be interested in it."

"What gift?" Anthony asked puzzled.

Lord turned to look at Leir. "Sir, I think you have checked the things I brought, right?"

"Hmph, this thing can be called a gift? It's simply an insult to Master Anthony!" Riel snorted coldly, but still asked someone to push it up.

Everyone's attention was immediately drawn to the cage, wanting to see what kind of gift this cripple who claimed to be from the land of wizards had brought - it was a spherical cage as tall as a person, woven entirely with copper wire.

Fulla's face looked very ugly, and the same thought as Leir's emerged in her mind: can this be called a gift?

"It's called a Faraday cage!" Lord hurriedly introduced it. "It's a magical technique that can defeat all thunder magic!"

"Of course, I'm not a wizard and can't cast the corresponding magic, so I can only use this cage for demonstration. According to Lord Lin, the principles are the same!"

"No matter how powerful the thunder and lightning are, they cannot break through its defenses!"

Lord's arrogant words instantly ignited the powder keg in the entire venue. Everyone couldn't help but stand up and glare at Lord, with flames almost spewing from their eyes.

"Ridiculous! You are courting death! How dare you defile our school's treasure and insult the thunder magic created by the great Master Anthony!"

Leir shouted harshly. He had just checked it carefully and found that it was just a cage made of copper. He could not feel any magic power on it.

You have to know that the high temperature contained in a powerful thunderstorm can even melt steel... and copper is a conductor of electricity. If a person stands in it, he will only be burned into charcoal by the strong electric current.

Fulla was so angry that she laughed. She didn't expect that a person could be so ignorant!

But more of them were angry. In order to learn thunder magic, each of them was forced to endure hundreds of lightning strikes, and many of their colleagues fell on the road of experimenting, learning, and using the power of thunder...

Now this lame man who can’t do magic points to a cage and tells them that this thing is the nemesis of all thunder magic?

This is naked humiliation!

Even Anthony's face showed a hint of anger. Thunder magic was the result of his half-life research, and he would never allow anyone to desecrate it.

Being surrounded by a large group of wizards who could kill him at any time, Loud suddenly felt a lot of pressure. In fact, he didn't want to be so arrogant.

But before coming, Lord Lin En specifically told him to suppress the arrogance of these people so that he could take a leading position in the subsequent cooperation.

However, looking at the current situation, Lord couldn't help but start to wonder if he had pressed too hard.

Although he felt some regret in his heart, Lord still stood up straight and was not defeated by the almost materialized malice. After all, he now represented the Iyeta School and even the entire wizarding land, and he could not retreat.

"Everyone, I've tried it before. Even an ordinary person who doesn't know magic can resist all the thunder magic I master with the help of a Faraday cage." Ebel said with a sigh.

It was after Linn demonstrated the function of the Faraday cage to him that he truly understood why Linn sent Lord, who couldn't do magic.

That was to tell them that once they mastered the method of fighting, their thunder magic was actually nothing great. It couldn't even kill a civilian, let alone those wizards who could use magic to build a [Faraday Cage]...

"Do you know what you are saying? Abel..." Leir rushed forward, grabbed Abel's collar tightly, and roared.

"The facts will prove everything, Leir!" Abel shook his head.

"If you have any doubts about this, you can try it yourself." Lord said, and walked straight into the copper cage, but quickly added another sentence.

"Of course, we can only use thunder magic!"

"Since you are seeking death, you can't blame me!" Leir let go of Abel, walked angrily to the Faraday cage, raised his hand and pointed at Lord inside.

【Lightning...storm! 】

The first move that Leir made was a three-ring magic. A dazzling ball of lightning suddenly bloomed at the fingertips and instantly turned into thick lightning snakes that hit the Faraday cage.

Accompanied by a loud thunder, terrifying electric arcs kept jumping and flashing outside the copper cage, and powerful electric currents were transmitted along the copper wire to every part of the Faraday cage.

Fula and the others stared at Loud in the cage, wanting to witness with their own eyes this cripple who dared to mock the glory of their school being turned into charcoal by thunder...

However, the facts were beyond their expectations.

Lord just stood in the center of the cage, his two feet even arrogantly stepped on the copper cage, without any protection, allowing the thunder that was enough to kill him a hundred times to continue to explode around him and under his feet, but his face remained calm...

Chapter 231: Disappear in the thunder——[Heavenly Punishment - Thunder Judgment]!

"This is impossible!"

Looking at Lord standing in the cage, unharmed by the thunder and lightning, Leir showed an expression of disbelief on his face, and even began to wonder if he was hallucinating.
