I Created Scientific Magic-Chapter 269 - 256: Creating a Sanctuary for the Wizard
Chapter 269: Chapter 256: Creating a Sanctuary for the Wizard
Lynn’s words echoed incessantly within the Sky Realm. The councillors naturally understood this logic. Should the battlefield be set in the Wizard Land, even if they were victorious in the end, the loss would be devastating.
If they failed, there was no need to mention it, for the end of wizards would have arrived!
But the issue was, even the most confident proponents of war did not have a guarantee of victory. If they took the initiative to attack, they would need to disperse their forces—some staying behind to defend the Wizard Land, while others heading to Sekas Empire!
If, on the other hand, they decided to consolidate their power and remain here, then the Holy See would have to cross the entire Mist Sea, coming from afar. Even with an elite force, they could at most bring tens of thousands of people.
Moreover, they could take advantage of a variety of protective Arrays set up in advance to combat the enemy, greatly narrowing the gap in combat strength between the two sides.
“If you have any ideas, just speak your mind, Councillor Lynn,” Aurora suddenly said. She clearly understood that since the other party dared to put forward this suggestion, it must not be without reason!
...
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Lynn extended his hand and tapped the conference table a few times. The surface rippled like water, and immediately afterward, a huge map that covered the entire conference table appeared before everyone.
It was the territory of the Sekas Empire, roughly four to five million square kilometers from south to north, with tens of millions of subjects – and that was just the number on record!
This was undoubtedly a behemoth, and the Wizard Land was also marked out, merely the size of a fingertip. The disparity between the two was self-evident.
“This is the Kingdom of Hadlata, the largest kingdom under Sekas’s rule…” Lynn’s hand quickly pointed to a large tract of coastal territory on the right side of the Sekas Empire and began to clarify Anthony’s Magic Kingdom plan for the confused attendees.
It was, in simple terms, to garner the support of wizards internally to instigate a division within the empire, allowing them to fight amongst themselves. If the situation permitted, they would seize control of the entire kingdom and turn it into a utopia for wizards.
As Lynn continued to narrate, Sanchez and the others suddenly saw the light.
A glance at the map revealed that the Kingdom of Hadlata occupied nearly one-fifth of the empire’s territory. If this plan were successful, it would certainly be a significant blow to the Holy See!
This was far better than remaining in the Wizard Land, waiting for the enemy to attack. In essence, by moving the battlefield into the Sekas Empire, even if the final battle turned unfavorable, they would still have a way out, at the very least gaining more time until the legendary spell “Lost Fog” could be completed again!
And the very concept of a Magic Kingdom was itself inspiring and exhilarating.
“Is Master Anthony another member of the Secret Magic Society?” Harrov inquired after listening to Lynn’s narrative.
“Exactly,” Lynn nodded.
Not just Harrov, but the other councillors too were intrigued. Since Lynn had made a name for himself in Wizard Land, the Secret Magic Society had become a topic of conversation in their leisure time.
This unique magical organization was simply too mysterious. For the majority of people, the only member from the outside world they got to see was Lynn!
Though Tic, Alva, and others would boast about the profundity of Master Leibniz’s wisdom, and the Magic Daily published many cutting-edge calculus concepts, invigorating those wizards who were eager to study higher mathematics, doubts still lingered about the overly secretive group.
“Master Anthony is one of the members of the Secret Magic Society. He has been planning the Magic Kingdom within the empire and is now tying up loose ends. He is very willing to cooperate with us,” Lynn said with a smile.
“This is the best news I’ve heard!” The serious expression on Harrov’s face dissipated somewhat. Having members from the Secret Magic Society taking part would certainly alleviate much of their pressure.
The other councillors, then, were extremely curious about this new member from the Sekas Empire, peppering Lynn with questions.
Lynn did not withhold information and immediately explained Anthony’s unique method, which enabled official wizards to successfully harness electromagnetic force.
It seemed that Anthony had not expected Lynn to keep this research on electromagnetic Magic a secret; perhaps he believed that the Secret Magic Society would not value his methods, thinking that being secretive about them would only be laughable.

Upon learning that the method involved channeling the power of thunder into one’s body, passively breaking down the Magic Power within, the attendees couldn’t help breaking out in a cold sweat.
Although using one’s own body as an experimental subject was not unusual for wizards, the power of thunder was incredibly dangerous. Even for a great wizard, recklessly channeling thunder into one’s body could lead to death.
It could only be said that such a devotion to academia by a member of the Secret Magic Society was truly admirable.
“Of course, after decades of research, the Secret Magic Society now has a safe way to learn electromagnetic Magic, even without relying on Magic to generate thunder, no longer taking the life-threatening risks like before. As for the specific method, for now, it is still only open to members of the Secret Magic Society,” Lynn spoke eloquently. With Anthony acting as a cover, it would be much easier for him to propose various electromagnetic theories subsequently.
Lynn’s words doubtlessly whetted everyone’s appetite. The power of electromagnetic Magic needed no extensive description; the lightning that streaked across the clouds and the occasional thunderstorms in Wizard Land were evidence enough.
Artificially generating lightning was undoubtedly key to learning Thunder Magic; otherwise, they would have to wait for thunderstorm weather to fly thousands of meters into the sky to be struck by lightning.
It must be understood that the electric current mimicked by Magic Power was essentially still Magic Power. After being broken down by the Material Decompilation Skill, nothing would be gained but Magic Power. So, to truly learn Magic, one must find the most elementary form of the element!
Tic, Alva, and Ellison, who had previously joined the Secret Magic Society due to their interest in advanced mathematics, were delighted. They hadn’t expected such a perk.
“Alright, regarding electromagnetic Magic, please discuss that after the meeting,” Harrov interrupted the clamor of voices with a solemn tone. “Now, let’s proceed with the vote on the Magic Kingdom initiative!”
As discussions in the Sky Realm fell silent, the more than one hundred and forty councillors pondered and hesitated for a moment before expressing their votes. In the end, the meeting concluded with nearly eighty percent of the councillors supporting the Magic Kingdom plan.
