Chapter 157: Even if It's Robbery, It's Not This Fast!

"Lynn, what is this? A mirror?" Lydia propped her feet on a chair and peered at the flawless round mirror on the workbench, her eyes filled with amazement as she asked.

In the land of wizards, there were mirrors, but they were usually polished copper mirrors. Some wizard lords even enchanted them. However, Lydia was sure that not even the best copper mirror in the wizard land could compare to this one!

"Yes, I call it a glass mirror," Lynn replied with a smile.

Darren and the other halflings gathered around, marveling at the clear reflection in the mirror.

"It's perfect, incredibly perfect... even clearer than the reflection on the lake's surface!" Darren couldn't stop praising it. He had never seen such a beautiful mirror; it was like a work of art.This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com

After receiving Lynn's permission, the halflings cautiously reached out and held the round mirror, gently touching its transparent surface as if it would shatter if they applied too much force.

Lynn watched their expressions, which made it seem like they had discovered a rare treasure, and couldn't help but find it amusing. He had assumed that the wizards, with their basic understanding of the celestial mechanics, would have already invented such an essential technology as glass.

However, he learned from Harof that the divination wizards, in their pursuit of observing the stars, had developed various long-range magic spells and even upgraded the design of alchemical eyepieces several times but never ventured into glass production.

There was no choice; magic was just too convenient. Lynn had also grown accustomed to using magic to solve problems, such as creating glass, which would normally require a furnace but was effortlessly accomplished with a flame spell.

Lydia toyed with the mirror, gazing at her own reflection in fascination. No young woman could resist a flawless glass mirror that could reflect her features so clearly.

"Professor, is this made from a special kind of sand?" Lydia reluctantly handed the round mirror to the next halfling and looked at the basket of raw materials on the table, curiously inquiring.

They had all received the message that today, Lynn would reveal the final secret of the planet beneath their feet.

"Raphael, do you think Lord Lynn will use any method to weigh the planet beneath our feet this time?" Raphael looked at Ougust beside him and pondered, his hair having thinned out considerably in the past two days, with no clue in sight. It seemed like an impossible task.

"I believe he might use the method of division, just like when he measured the circumference," Ougust said confidently, wearing a smile that exuded self-assuredness.

"Since we know the volume of the planet, all we need to do is select a few areas as samples, weigh them, figure out the volume of one ton of soil, take an average, and then estimate the planet's weight based on the volume ratios!" Ougust continued. "Of course, this is just my humble suggestion. Different regions have different geology, and there are special cases like mines and oceans that need to be discussed separately. My estimated weight is around three hundred trillion trillion tons, with an error that shouldn't exceed twenty percent."

Raphael and the others sighed in admiration at Ougust, the shining star of the magical world. His mind was truly remarkable, and he had come up with such an ingenious method.

They had all heard that when Lynn returned to Greenrill, he immediately had two heaps of sand and stone delivered, and now it made sense; he must have been estimating their weight.

Rorl also gazed at Ougust with great admiration, thinking that his teacher had probably glimpsed the truth, which was likely the only way!

As they were discussing this, they heard mocking laughter from the side.

"Mr. Carol, do you have a different opinion, or have you found a better way to measure the weight?" Rorl glared at the male wizard beside him with dissatisfaction.

"Sorry, I have no idea what method to use to measure the weight," Carol replied with a shake of his head. He only knew that Lynn needed the sand and stone not for weighing but for creating some experimental equipment.

Without waiting for others to question him, Carol pointed to the curtains that had been suddenly drawn around them and said with a smile, "But I guess it's related to darkness!"
