Chapter 164: How Well Do You Understand the Holy See, Our Enemy?

Chapter 164: How Well Do You Understand the Holy See, Our Enemy?

Lynn's inability to advance to Grand Wizard left Phillip somewhat regretful, but he quickly adjusted. After all, it was only a matter of time before Lynn's talent would lead to his promotion.

Moreover, in recent days, with the spread of the Law of Universal Gravitation, the Iyeta School of Magic had gained immense popularity. During this time, Lynn received over a hundred invitations to banquets and academic conferences, many of which were from top-notch schools.

Unfortunately, Lynn, with his dedication to researching new magic, had to postpone all of them.

"Do you know how people outside refer to you now?" Phillip asked jokingly.

Lynn shook his head. These past few days, he hadn't even stepped outside, let alone cared about what people were calling him.

"They're calling you the Twin Stars of Greenryell!" Phillip exclaimed.

The other half of the "Twin Stars," of course, referred to Ougust, the most gifted wizard in the history of the Wizard's Land. He started practicing magic at the age of twelve, became an official wizard at sixteen, and ascended to Grand Wizard at twenty-four. His rapid rise was nothing short of a miracle, earning him the title of the "Star of Magic."

This also meant that, in the eyes of most, Lynn had been elevated to a level equal to Ougust.

Jonny, Elok, and Pearce gazed at Professor Lynn with admiration.

Lynn furrowed his brow. Such excessive praise wasn't a good sign. He wondered if someone was deliberately spreading this kind of news.

Just as they were discussing, there was a knock at the door.

"Professor, there's someone outside looking for you," Lydia's head popped in through the door, looking lively. "It's Master Ougust!"

Everyone in the room was momentarily stunned. They had just been talking about the great wizard, and now he was paying them a visit. Could it be a trouble?

"So, you're here on behalf of the Council, then?" Lynn asked.

"No, I'm just here for a personal inquiry," Ougust shook his head and then calmly added, "Personally, I support the idea of opening up the Wizard's Land."

While the Wizard's Land was a massive island capable of housing over six hundred thousand people, as the number of wizards increased, resources available to each person decreased, leading to internal conflicts and intense competition.

Rorl, looking forward to the conversation, turned his gaze towards Lynn. As a young and talented wizard, he was naturally part of the progressive faction, believing that wizards should be the ones to rule the world.

Remaining hidden in this small Wizard's Land was an act of weakness and timidity.

Rorl believed that if Lynn and his teacher, Ougust, stood on the same side, they might influence the Council's final decision.

"How much do you know about the Holy See, our enemy?" Lynn suddenly asked.

Rorl hesitated for a moment, then spoke somewhat indignantly. "The Wizard's Land has been established and developed for hundreds of years. We've researched countless extraordinary magics, capable of freezing the sea and turning mountains into plains. We've even created many invincible golems to defeat any enemy!"

Ougust, inquisitive, then asked, "What about you, Lynn? You came from beyond the Misty Sea, so you should have a better understanding than any of us."

"Unfortunately, my knowledge of the Holy See is very limited," Lynn shook his head, then continued before the impatient Rorl could speak, "In my daily life, I've only interacted with bishops, which are roughly equivalent to official wizards..."

Rorl's face showed his disappointment, but he allowed Lynn to finish.

"But," Lynn added, "I believe that the leaders of the Council may have a clearer understanding of the kind of enemy we're up against."
