This is a pleasant surprise!

"071, enter overload mode and mobilize Anthony's computing power."

Lin En muttered in his heart, and the next moment the world in front of him became fantastic. The space around him was slightly twisted and deformed. Countless elements kept leaping around him, and a gust of elemental wind was rolled up under the control of his mental power.

This is the strange world perceived by the great wizard.

Although the upper limit of Lin En's mental amplification that he could withstand increased a lot after breaking through the three-ring wizard, the computing power of one twentieth of that of a six-ring wizard still made his brain feel a little painful.

As Lin En thought about it, a steel sword on the table floated up and landed in his palm. Then he concentrated the fingers of his right hand and magic power wrapped around the sword.

[Advanced Material Deconstruction]

This is the fourth-ring spell that Lin En had just learned not long ago. It is an upgraded version of the zero-ring magic [Basic Material Deconstruction], the most important spell for the elemental wizard!

The powerful force is enough to decompose metal objects and reduce them to the most basic metal elements!

After more than a month of exploration and difficult practice, Lin En finally managed to engrave it in his sea of ​​consciousness, and had already analyzed the element of copper. Now it was the turn of iron!

The steel sword suspended in the palm of his hand trembled slightly. About a minute later, a slight muffled sound was heard in the dean's office, and the smooth sword body gradually began to crack and dismember. This process was extremely slow and the consumption of magic power was extremely intense.

Beads of sweat appeared on Lin En's forehead. About ten minutes later, the one-meter-long sword had turned into a mass of elements that were invisible to the naked eye.

Ninety-six percent iron, one percent carbon, and impurities such as silicon, phosphorus, and sulfur are mixed in it.

Compared with non-metallic elements such as hydrogen, oxygen, and helium, the difficulty of controlling iron and copper elements is undoubtedly much higher, and the consumption has increased several times!

"Iron Sand Storm!"

After adapting himself for a while, Lin En tried this four-ring magic that he had seen many times before.

The iron elements floating in the palm of his hand immediately arranged themselves in an orderly manner, turning into countless tiny particles as fine as sand, and rolled towards the square table in front of him.

It was like being thrown into a crusher. After the iron sand storm passed, the solid mahogany square table had been crushed into flying sawdust residue...

It is foreseeable that if a person was involved, he would be beaten into pieces in an instant...

After crushing the mahogany table into pieces, the [Iron Sand Storm] remained as powerful as ever, and even had a tendency to continue expanding, dragging in all the nearby chairs and tea tables...

Chapter 238: Magneto Lynn?

The dean's office was already a mess. Lin En quickly stopped the supply of magic power. The storm immediately dissipated, and fine iron sand fell to the ground, making a series of "clicking" sounds.

"The magic power consumed is about 6 scales!" Lin En sensed the magic power reserves in his body and immediately came to a conclusion.

This is the case when there is ready-made iron element, but if it relies entirely on magical mimicry, the magic consumption will probably be more than thirty magic scales, which is a relatively standard fourth-ring spell.

That is to say, with his current status as a three-ring wizard, under the best condition, the limit is to release three four-ring spells, and this is when the intelligent brain takes on part of the computing power and magic power consumption.

This is when the magic power he possesses far exceeds that of wizards of the same level. If he were an ordinary three-ring wizard, he might not be able to successfully cast a four-ring magic even if he exhausted all his magic power.

It can be seen that there is a qualitative gap between formal wizards and great wizards...

Lin En shook his head. Although his strength had improved quickly enough, with the help of mental fusion and the fusion potion of "Eye of Death", it only took him about a year to skip levels and become a three-ring wizard.

But this is obviously not enough to deal with the increasingly complex situation.

The fastest record in the entire Wizarding Land for being promoted from an official wizard to a great wizard is four years!

However, the record holder, August, has been proven to have cheated and his reputation has been ruined, so he cannot be used as a reference at all.

Fortunately, Lin En has his own "cheating" method. With the help of the computing power improvement brought by the magic network, he can do many things that only great wizards can do in advance, such as casting four-ring magic and using magic to mimic metal elements.

This is an unprecedented training of mental strength. In the past three months or so, Lin En's mental strength assessment and total magic power have increased a lot. The most important thing is that after adapting to this state, there will be no obstacles to his promotion to a great wizard!

What he lacks now is accumulation, and he doesn't know whether he can catch up with the day when war breaks out between the Wizarding Land and the Church.

Lin En quickly adjusted his mindset and began to study how to further improve the lethality of these spells.

Among the magic he now possesses, the most destructive one is [Space Vibration]. However, without Aurora's magic blessing, it can only be used against enemies within five meters of him. Otherwise, its power will be greatly reduced and it will no longer be able to threaten a great wizard.

The [Iron Sand Storm] is a supplement to the medium-range attack methods. There are many variations of this spell. In addition to turning it into an iron sand meat grinder like this, it can also create a large amount of iron thorns like Hellram. In the final analysis, it is just a means of controlling the iron element.

There are subtle differences in everyone's spell models and constructed spell slots, it all depends on how they are used.

The things that can work with metals such as iron and copper are naturally electricity and magnetism!

If it can be mixed with lightning magic, the power of [Iron Sand Storm] should be able to be greatly increased. The feeling of being sucked into an electrified meat grinder must be extremely painful!

Later, the iron sand can be controlled by the electric and magnetic fields caused by the current, and a second or even third attack can be carried out, making it impossible to defend against it...

Isn't that Magneto?

Lin En immediately thought of a character in a movie from ancient times, and then looked at a small generator placed in the corner, which was replicated using the magnet Cody gave him.

For formal wizards who cannot sense electric charges and magnetic fields, a shortcut to learning thunder magic is to receive electrotherapy!

Lin En's expression was a little conflicted. To have electricity or not is a question worth pondering!

Compared to people like Abel who can only store the high-voltage lightning during thunderstorms and weaken it through protective magic, he can generate electricity on his own and control the intensity, so he will not be in any danger when he is electrocuted...

Under the temptation of controlling electromagnetic force, Lin En hesitated for only a few seconds before using the [Mage's Hand] to lift up the generator.

Over the next few days, Lynn spent his time practicing magic and receiving electrotherapy. He occasionally entered the magic realm to explain difficult calculus problems to Anthony, and also learned a lot of tips on practicing thunder magic from Anthony.

Normally, it would take three to four months, or even more than half a year, from receiving 'electrotherapy' to initially mastering magical mimicry of lightning, but it only took Lin En four days.

Because he would be shocked at least dozens of times a day, and he would be trembling all over at the end of the day!

According to the data recorded in the intelligent brain, the safe current that the human body can accept is only 10 milliamperes, and the safe voltage it can withstand is 36 volts.

However, after personal experience, Lynn discovered that wizards have very strong physical fitness, coupled with the resistance brought by the magic power in their cells, they can withstand hundreds of volts of high voltage electricity almost without damage.

Not only that, his resistance to electric current continues to increase, which means that magic is gradually becoming familiar with this new power of lightning.

Various industries in Yieta Port are also developing rapidly. Every three days, the airship will transport batches of scarce ores to the square, and then they will be pulled by alchemy vehicles and distributed to various workshops.

The entire Yieta is like a huge war machine, with each person acting as a part, continuously assembling and producing war supplies.

With sufficient materials, the musket workshop expanded several times and produced a total of 1,500 finished muskets in one month, which was three times his previous estimate.

When Lin En heard Philip's report, he was completely stunned. He almost suspected that the other party was fooling him, or that the Alchemy Research Institute had developed some new magic.

For example, putting the materials needed to make a musket into an alchemy array, and then clapping your hands, the thing will be made!

It was not until he personally visited the workshop that Lin En realized that he had underestimated the enthusiasm of the poor people for work. These people worked almost sixteen hours a day without any rest. They worked whenever they woke up.

You have to know that each workshop can only recruit a limited number of people, and there are countless poor people outside who want to replace them and get the job.

Lin En hesitated for a long time, and finally just forced himself to sleep, eat and rest for ten hours a day, with one day off every half a month, so as not to be overwhelmed by the high-intensity work.

With the current productivity of the Iyeta Port, it is still far from being luxurious enough to consider human rights.

Having food to eat, a place to live and being safe are the greatest happiness in this era!

Chapter 239: The more you show off your strength, the weaker you appear

A week passed in a flash, and just as the Iyeta port was developing rapidly, in a secret basement in the capital of Hadhrata, William was shaking the scarlet wine glass in his hand and listening to the reports from his subordinates.

"My lord, the fleet you sent to explore the Misty Sea has returned. According to their description, the fog there seems to have undergone some new changes. The visibility is much higher than before, and the wind and waves on the sea do not seem to be as strong as before..." A tall and thin man knelt on the ground and respectfully told William the information he had investigated.

For sailors like them who often sail on the sea, the horror of the foggy sea is of course very clear. When the fog is the thickest, the visibility is even less than one meter!

This means that on the same ship, the sailors can only see themselves surrounded by a strange white fog. They cannot see the ship under their feet, let alone their companions beside them. The only thing they can feel is that they are drifting with the swaying of the ship, moving towards deeper into the fog!

Anyone would inevitably have the illusion that they are heading towards hell.

But this time it was different. The three fleets that went to explore the Misty Sea had been prepared for sacrifice, but they all came back alive and brought a shocking news. The fog in the Misty Sea seemed to be slowly dissipating, and now the visibility in the fog has exceeded six meters.

Listening to his men's reports, William narrowed his eyes and paused in shaking the wine glass.

"Sir, could something have gone wrong in the wizarding land?" the tall and thin man asked cautiously.

"It's very likely..." William's mind was full of thoughts.

During this period of time, the boatmen who were previously stranded in Yieta have been sent back one after another. Most of the reports they gave him were about how rapid the development of the Yieta port was, with such high praise that he began to wonder if these people were under a strange visual spell, or were lying to him!

"Sometimes, the more you try to show off your strength, the weaker you become..." A sarcastic smile appeared on William's lips.

From the descriptions of those boatmen, he also discovered an important piece of information, that is, a civil war broke out in the wizard city of Greenriel not long ago, and Lin En made considerable contributions in that civil war, which led to his becoming the ruler of Yieta Harbor.

The current situation of the Sea of ​​Mist is most likely related to that civil unrest.

Now the reports from those fleets have undoubtedly proved this point. The other party changed the trade from sea transportation to the use of aerospace airships in order to cover up this point!

"Lord William, what should we do now?" Cody couldn't help but ask.

William's eyes flickered, and he was slow to respond.

This news is undoubtedly very important, and I'm afraid it can't be concealed for too long.

The Sea of ​​Fog is so vast, and the conditions at sea are harsh and changeable, that almost every year a fleet strays into it. If one is lucky enough not to go deep into it and does not encounter a storm or the Eye of Death, there is a small chance of coming out alive.

The situation this year is different. Since their fleet was able to return safely, the others must be no exception.

It only takes one opportunity and people's fear of the sea of ​​fog will be completely shattered.

He could predict what would happen next with his feet. The Holy See would never let go of the opportunity to completely eradicate these wizards!

William's expression changed again and again. He was not willing to give up the huge profits brought by trade every year, but he also knew that once the war broke out, the wizarding land would most likely be destroyed.

After all, if these wizards had the ability to fight against the Holy See, why would they hide on a small island beyond the Sea of ​​Mist?

The trusted subordinates gathered in the basement were also whispering.

In the Sekas Empire, everyone knows how terrible the Holy See is. Their previous work for Herram was based on a sufficiently secret and safe environment.

Now some great changes have occurred in the wizarding land. Even the most important barrier, the Sea of ​​Mist, is about to disappear. This has to make them have strange ideas. Some people even suggested whether they should report this news to Lord Cardinal Losak.

If they can follow the clues, or even lead the Vatican's fleet through the foggy sea to find the island, they will have made a great contribution, enough to offset their mistakes, and even be granted a title and become a powerful Grand Duke.

This temptation made William's heart waver slightly. On the one hand, there was a huge profit of thousands of imperial gold coins every week, but on the other hand, it could be overturned at any time.

On the other hand is the reward from the Holy See, an opportunity to no longer have to hide and become a great noble of the empire!

William kept shaking the wine glass in his hand, and the scarlet liquid in it fluctuated just like his mood. "Cody, do you know how many wizards Mr. Lin En has transported to the capital by airship in recent days, and what they are doing?"

"Regarding the transportation of goods, a man named Loud is now in charge. Lord Lin does not allow us to interfere. Even the servants who stayed in the manor were restricted for various reasons. So until now, their number and personnel composition are still unknown. I only know that each shipment is about three to five days apart."

Cody spoke hesitantly. "In addition, they have taken over part of the glass trade and seem to be in contact with some nobles now."
