As for the magic projections he had come into contact with before, he naturally could not evaluate them. But now he can be sure that Lin En is a great wizard like him.

Chapter 303 Anthony: Do you think a three-ring wizard can understand so many advanced magical theories?

"Master Anthony, you should have seen this port city on the way here. How do you feel about it?" Lin En invited everyone into the spacious conference room and asked.

"I think anyone who arrives in this wizard city for the first time will be extremely shocked..." Anthony responded with emotion. These words were not deliberate flattery, but a sigh from the heart. The entire Yieta perfectly fits the fantasy of a magic kingdom.

No, it should be said that this was even more bizarre than he had imagined.

"I believe that it won't be long before the entire Kingdom of Hadrata will undergo a transformation just like this port city. This will also be the key to our victory over the empire!" Lin En said with a smile.

"I have no doubt about it, but I'm afraid the nobles of the kingdom and our new King won't be so happy..." Anthony's expression was a little solemn.

On the way to the academy, he heard Orlando talk a lot about the changes in this port city. Almost 60% of the townspeople went into factories and received extremely high salaries every month. It was precisely because of this that no one in the entire Yieta would go hungry, and everyone could even eat white bread that only the nobles could enjoy in the past.

There is naturally no problem in implementing this policy in the land of wizards, because there are no nobles or royal families here, and the wizards don't care at all about the stay or departure of their subjects. Coupled with the tacit approval of the parliament, in just two years, the population of Yieta has exceeded 100,000.

But it is not so easy to implement it in the kingdom. After all, the subjects are the most valuable finances of the nobles and the symbol of all rights!

Lin En naturally understood Anthony's concerns, but he was not too worried. He smiled and said, "No one can stop the progress of the times. If you try to stop a chariot with your arms, you will only be crushed into pieces by the wheels of the times!"

The reason why he chose to cooperate with the second prince and temporarily retain the royal family was that he planned to use the royal family and the nobility's control over the grassroots to suppress the influence of the Holy See.

As long as we are through this most difficult period and let the poor people see the real benefits, these nobles will naturally be of no use to us!

"Master Lin, since most of the townspeople have entered the workshop, what should we do with the abandoned land?" Redel asked in confusion. "I heard from Lord Orlando before that Yieta has an alchemical instrument that allows people to cultivate ten kilometers of land in one hour. Is that true?"

This is also what Redel is most interested in, because it will be the summer wheat harvest soon, followed by autumn planting.

"Of course it's true, but don't worry, you'll know in a few days!" Lin En said while keeping the secret. The first generation of harvesters in the alchemy workshop has been produced, and he believes that the results will be seen soon.

Considering that Anthony and others had been on an airship for a whole day to travel between the two places, Lynn did not talk to them at length. He quickly asked the servants to take everyone downstairs to rest.

After leaving the hall, Fulla could no longer hold back what she had been saying. "Teacher, it seems that your previous prediction was wrong. Mr. Lin En is not a legendary wizard. In fact, he was only a three-ring wizard when he met us."

"Do you think a three-ring wizard can understand so many advanced magical theories? Gravity, space, and electromagnetic force are things that even a great wizard may not be able to understand so deeply in his entire life." Anthony shook his head and rejected Fulla's guess.

"But, there is no need for these wizards from the Yieta School to lie to us. Mr. Lin En only completed the Grand Wizard Ceremony last night..." Fura said in confusion, and then speculated. "Perhaps he knows more because he learned a lot of advanced magic theories in the [Secret Law Society]."

So they were probably fooled by the other party before. She had always been respectful to a boy who was not even half her age and was also a formal wizard.

Anthony smiled but said nothing. He had come into contact with Lin En many times in the field of magic, and the knowledge he asked him about covered a wide range, but no matter which aspect, Lin En could answer him without hesitation.

Sometimes he couldn't help but wonder if there were any problems in the world that could stump the other person.

The reserve of knowledge cannot be faked, and there are not so many wizards who would impart the knowledge they have painstakingly researched and summarized to another person without reservation for no reason. At the very least, the communication must be at the same level.

Then there is only one possibility left...

Anthony immediately remembered the rumor. It was said that hundreds of years ago, when the power of the Church had not yet expanded to the entire continent, there were countless great wizards and even legendary wizards like them, but all of them were killed or injured in a long war that could be called a magical catastrophe.

Anthony couldn't help but suspect that Lynn was once a legendary wizard, but died for unknown reasons, and now he has been reborn by taking over another's body or using some kind of witchcraft.

Although the knowledge is still there, it will take some accumulation to return to the legendary realm. I must rely on alchemy circles or the help of others to perform the legendary magic I once created!

Anthony, with his imagination running wild, thought it was more and more possible. From the contact just now, it can be seen that the domain constructed by Lin En is very stable, and he has also perfected the Sea of ​​Elements. He doesn't look like a newly promoted great wizard at all.

However, no matter how certain he was, it was just a guess. Anthony did not intend to say it out loud. He just wanted to remind Flora and others that Mr. Lin En was not that simple and they just needed to treat him as a legendary wizard.

……

Compared to Redel and others who were sightseeing in Yieta, Alok, who had just arrived at the academy, had already started reviewing his courses.

Since no one knew when the war with the empire would break out, Lynn arranged the schedule very tightly, leaving them only half a day for review.

There is only one graduation exam every year. If you fail this time, you will have to wait another year!

After staying in the Kingdom of Hadhrata for more than a month, Peirce had almost forgotten the formulas he had learned before. Looking at the notes he wrote every day, he felt dizzy and had no idea what each symbol stood for.

"Quick, quick, who can tell me what the acceleration due to gravity is?" "What's the volume formula of a cylinder? What's the value of pi?" "Who still remembers the density of water?"

Similar shouts rang out in every corner of the academy. Apparently, few people were willing to read books in their spare time over the past month. This was destined to be a sleepless night...

Chapter 304 Our goal is to explore where magic comes from!

Early the next morning, a group of wizard apprentices entered the examination room with trepidation. After receiving their own test papers, they quickly began to calculate with frowns.

Peirce did not dare to delay and glanced at the first question.

【A and B start from two places at the same time and walk towards each other. After four hours, they meet at a distance of 5 kilometers from the center. It is known that A's speed is faster than B's. How many kilometers per hour is A faster than B?】

Peirce frowned suddenly. This should be a math problem, to find the unknown variable, but there are not many conditions given. After thinking for a while, he finally came up with an idea to solve the problem and began to draw a line graph.

On the other side of the examination room, several wizards in charge of invigilating were also looking at the test papers in their hands.

Fulla and others were very interested in the graduation exam of the Iyeta School, so they volunteered to supervise the students and also became interested in doing the questions.

Originally, Fulla thought that these questions were prepared for apprentices and would be easy for a formal wizard like herself. But after looking at a few questions in succession, she was dumbfounded.

"Is this what Yieta College teaches on a daily basis?" a wizard asked in confusion. He thought the exam would be about elements, herbs, alchemy and shaping.

"Not bad!" Lin En nodded, looked at Fula and the others, and said, "In general, there are three subjects: Mathematical Olympiad, Chemistry, and Physics... In the future, we may add Biology."

"But what's the point of learning these? It's better to learn a few more magic spells with the time..." Fulla curled her lips.

Lin En straightened his face. "Mathematical Olympiad is the foundation of all natural sciences. Chemistry is the study of the composition, structure, and changes of magical elements. As for physics, it is the exploration of the laws governing the operation of the world..."

"The purpose of studying these courses is to explore where magic comes from!" Lynn said firmly.

Where does magic come from?

Hearing this, everyone present was shocked. Although they had studied magic in the past, they seldom thought deeply about this issue.

Lin En continued, "As for their functions, I think you have seen them, right? They are everywhere in the city! The glass, paper, airships, ships, and even electromagnetic railguns you see can all be classified into these three disciplines!"

Thinking about what she had seen and heard since entering Yieta, Fulla put away her original contemptuous thoughts and began to examine each question seriously.

However, since I had never systematically studied Olympiad mathematics, I really didn’t know where to start to solve these equations, so I had to look to Lin En for help.

Lynn raised his hand and tapped lightly, creating a soundproof barrier nearby, before explaining.

"This problem is actually very easy to calculate. It's just a little bit complicated. If A and B have the same speed, then they will definitely reach the midpoint at the same time. However, they met 5,000 meters away from the midpoint. Therefore, A, who is faster, must have traveled twice as far as B, which is 10,000 meters."

"And the two met after four hours, which means A and B both walked for four hours. So we only need to do a simple division to find that A's speed is 4 kilometers faster than B's!"

Lin En explained his idea of ​​solving the problem as concisely as possible. This problem is actually not difficult and can be solved with a little thinking.

The test paper he gave had a total of fifty questions, each worth two points, with a total score of one hundred. Sixty points was considered a pass, which meant that one only had to answer thirty questions correctly!

The difficulty of these questions was also carefully designed by Lynn. There were twenty-five "easy" questions like this, twenty "simple" questions, and five "relatively difficult" questions.

According to his expectation, if Alok and others had taken notes seriously, it should be easy for them to answer all the easy questions, and then they only needed to answer five "simple" questions correctly to pass the exam.

However, this is just a passing grade. Lin En hopes that there will be a few students with excellent grades who can be trained intensively. These are all talents in scientific research.

Of course, in addition to the "liberal arts" exams, these students also have to take a practical course to test their actual combat and basic spellcasting abilities. The average of the two is added to determine whether an apprentice is qualified to become a formal wizard. This is also to give some students with some weaknesses in one subject an extra opportunity.

After Lin En explained a few Olympiad math problems, Fulla and the others quickly realized the fun of doing the problems. They started to ponder with their pens in hand, completely forgetting that they were there to supervise the students' exams.

For Orlando, these "easy points" questions were naturally nothing. After glancing at them, he turned his attention to the questions on the test paper that were marked as easy by Lin En.

[A wizard driving an airship encountered an accident and jumped from a height of 480 meters. After free falling for a distance, he performed a slow fall spell and decelerated at a constant speed of two meters per second. When he reached the ground, his speed was exactly zero. Without considering air resistance, calculate the total time of the fall and the distance of the free fall...]

Well, this should also be an equation problem.

Orlando thought about it. He remembered that Lin En said that free fall motion is uniformly accelerated linear motion with an initial velocity of 0. The formula is v=gt. G is the acceleration due to gravity, which seems to be 10 meters per second? What is this t? It should be time?

But the falling body is divided into two parts, the time and distance of the fall are unknown, and the answers need to be found. Simply applying this formula will definitely not work...

Orlando pondered for a long time, with cold sweat on his forehead.

He found that he couldn't do it!

"Dean Lin, these questions are too difficult, aren't they?" Orlando couldn't help but remind him. You call these simple questions?!

Is this really a question an apprentice should answer? Does he think this is a little too far-fetched?

"Is this difficult?" Lin En looked at Orlando strangely. He remembered that he had explained the relevant formulas before and published them in the [Magic Daily] so that wizards and even townspeople who were interested in studying mathematics could enjoy the fun of the Mathematical Olympiad.

Moreover, each wizard is equivalent to a humanoid computer. Even an apprentice's computing power is much stronger than that of an ordinary person. These questions should be within an acceptable range.

Just as Lin En was about to explain, his expression suddenly changed. He stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers. The magic power in the area around him surged. In an instant, a copper nail flew out and nailed to the feather pen and test paper held by an apprentice with lightning speed...

Chapter 305: I’m going to stuff the test paper into the dean’s mouth!

Arpad is an ordinary apprentice in Yieta College. He is well aware that his IQ and computing power are far inferior to those students who have joined the elite class. If he wants to pass this graduation test, or even stand out and gain the recognition of the dean, he must use some unconventional means!

For example, last night, he spent a lot of money to get a special alchemical powder from a great herbalist, mixed it with ink and wrote a note. The words on it can only be seen by using specific magic.

So Arpad boldly placed the parchment filled with formulas and examples on the table, pretending to solve the problems while checking the examples with the magic of revelation.

"Very good... The dean has explained these questions before. We can solve them by simply swapping the numbers."

Arpad calculated on the parchment with great pride and finished the first five questions in a few minutes. However, he soon discovered that this method of replacing example questions was not always effective, because many question types on the test paper had never been seen before, and simply substituting formulas and swapping numbers would not work at all.

Arpad thought hard, and then, not giving up, he cast a spell again to make the cheat sheet on the parchment visible. He read it line by line, trying to find out if he had missed a formula.

At this moment, a sound of breaking air suddenly rang in his ears. Before Arpad could react, a long copper nail had already flown past and nailed the quill and test paper in his hands... The parchment in front of him also floated up and flew towards the invigilation desk spontaneously.

"Dean..." Arpad was startled and stood up suddenly from his seat.

Lynn stretched out his hand, and the parchment fell into his palm.

Arpad tried his best to maintain his superficial calm, suppressing his fear and anxiety in his heart, and constantly comforting himself that the special invisible ink was very concealed and could not be discovered.

Orlando and Fulla, who were thinking about the test questions, also remembered their responsibilities as invigilators and immediately came over. There were some messy drafts written on the parchment, which didn't look anything special.

However, everyone understood that this must be some kind of cheating method, otherwise the dean would not have acted so suddenly.

Lynn looked at Arpad with interest and instantly guessed that this should be invisible ink.

It was obviously too much to try to deceive him with this little trick.

The so-called invisible ink is nothing more than some kind of invisible spectrum, so...Lin En's mind moved, and the magic power immediately constructed a prism, which decomposed the sunlight coming in from the window, and the ultraviolet rays that were also invisible to the naked eye were gathered together and refracted onto the parchment, and the invisible handwriting immediately appeared.

Arpad's face turned pale, and he cursed the damn herbalist in his heart. Wasn't it said that this thing was very hidden and even a formal wizard couldn't see it?
