Chapter 165: Talking About Doomsday in a World of Magic and Science

Chapter 165: Talking About Doomsday in a World of Magic and Science

Compared to Lynn, who was born in the land of wizards and knew nothing of the outside world, Rorl had a more optimistic outlook.

If the power accumulated in the land of wizards was enough to defeat the Holy See, then there was no reason for the Council to refuse a broader domain.

There was only one possibility: the power possessed by the Holy See was beyond what these wizards could match! The Goddess... Eira...

Rorl couldn't help but recall the terrifying shadow he had seen before leaving the harbor town.

If wizardry's power stemmed from magic, using knowledge to unleash spells and harness the world-changing forces, what about divine magic? How could it surpass wizards and their magic?

This was the most perplexing question for Rorl in this new world. Those divine practitioners seemed to rely solely on unwavering faith to wield divine magic.

In the midst of Rorl's contemplation, the private conversation had to come to an abrupt end after Rorl and August left.

When it was just Phillip and Lynn, Phillip hesitated for a while before asking, "Professor Lynn, is the Holy See's power really that formidable? Even the Society of Mystical Arts had to yield to their authority?"

"The Society of Mystical Arts is merely an academic organization for the study of magic," Lynn replied, shaking his head. "Don't forget that this world is vast, and the influence of the land of wizards and the church is not the only power. I can't be sure how many scholars from distant lands might not be willing to interfere in this matter..."

Lynn patched things up once again, so that in case the wizards overthrew the Holy See and took control of the empire, they wouldn't struggle to find anyone.

Late at night, in the ancient mansion of Greinrill City...

Hundreds of wizards dressed in robes gathered in the grand hall, attentively listening to the speech of a middle-aged male wizard. His voice was hoarse and resonated with a unique charm. "As we all know, this world is moving from order to chaos. Our endless exploitation of the elements has offended the great elemental spirits, and the judgment of all living beings is imminent..."

"When the four stars are high in the sky, parallel to the Silver Moon, the elemental spirits will pass their judgment. The earth will sink, and the entire world will be engulfed in a terrifying elemental flood until the Silver Moon is finally drawn to this land, bringing about complete destruction!"

This so-called doomsday theory was nothing but baseless speculation. Aidan couldn't help but mock their blind faith in doomsday and the elusive elemental spirits.

Comparing this to Professor Lynn's rigorous experiments during the symposium, proving the celestial chart scene beyond a doubt, Aidan couldn't help but sigh.

This was the academic spirit that wizards should embody!

"Don't you find this situation a bit strange, Aidan?" Beside him, another law enforcement officer wore a grave expression, feeling that the wizards attending the gathering were displaying some unusual emotions. Even when he was listening to the speaker's lecture, he couldn't help but feel a sense of inexplicable zeal.

Perhaps this was the effect of some kind of magic.

With his companion's reminder, Aidan quickly noticed the anomaly and gazed at the red-robed male wizard on the platform, recalling the information about the Doomsday Sect.

This strange sect had emerged about fifteen years ago, originally going by a different name and was, at best, a relatively obscure academic research organization.

Many of their theories were highly compatible with the legendary wizard Altok's elemental theory, such as the world steadily moving from order to chaos and the idea that the elements might possess consciousness...

But in the last three years, there had been a noticeable change. Not only did they adopt the name of a sect, but their rhetoric also became extremely radical, openly propagating the concept of elemental spirits.

Now they had even begun openly opposing the Council.

Aidan had a sense that things might have gone beyond their control.

"You stay here and keep an eye on things. I'll go inform Lord August," Aidan whispered, realizing that these wizards might actually stir up trouble.
