I Created Scientific Magic - Chapter 85

Chapter 85: Chapter 75 Magic Level Assessment (Request for Follow-up Reading)

Lydia animatedly shared her flying experience, stirring the apprentices and townspeople into excited restlessness.

Is bumping into the clouds really as refreshing as being caressed by the sea breeze? They all wanted to experience this wonderful sensation…

Ten silver coins didn’t seem too expensive.

The halfling girl chattered away, only to remember her purpose for the flight when she saw Helram, and she nervously asked.

“Master Helram, this should count as a success, right? I was up in the sky for so very long, without using even a bit of magic!”

Helram looked at Lydia hesitantly, and did not answer her.

“My arithmetic class doesn’t need magical talent, and even a regular person can learn quite a bit from it,” Lynn also said just then.

“If that’s the case, then let’s give it a try,” Helram said noncommittally.

“Fantastic!” Lydia jumped up with joy, turned around and hugged a few halflings, with Darren crying profusely, overwhelmed with emotion.

“I just knew you could do it, Lydia!”

“This is great, halflings will soon have a wizard of their own…”

…

Overcome with excitement, Darren and others decided to drink themselves into oblivion once they got home tonight.

Some wizards and apprentices gathered at the square frowned at the noisy group of Lydia and others. Recruiting a halfling with no magical talent was unprecedented and contradicted the Wizard Council’s regulations.

However, given the impressive result of the flying experiment and Helram’s approval, no one dared to openly object…

After the noise had subsided, Helram performed magic to restore the ground turned to sand and instructed some wizards to maintain order in the square. He then returned to Yiyeta Academy with a group of professors and apprentices, preparing to host two distinguished guests from Wizard City.

While Lydia and her companions, though joyful, did not forget to seize the moment to sell tickets for the airship.

According to Lynn’s earlier set price, tickets for a ride on the airship were ten silver coins each, not too expensive nor too cheap, an amount most townspeople could manage.

As a result, many were willing to pay and experience riding this alchemy machine taller than a building, to soar through the skies for a loop.

In just half an hour, Lydia had sold over six hundred so-called tickets, adhering to a first-come-first-serve principle, recording everyone’s names, making it impossible to evade payment.

The inside of the airship was quite spacious, capable of carrying ten people at a time without a problem. Each trip lasted about an hour, and at least ten trips could be made a day, but even so, it would take several days to accommodate everyone.

In just a short while, they had collected over sixty Magic Gold Coins. Darren and the others couldn’t stop smiling, knowing that Lynn was willing to give them a tenth of the ticket sales as operating expenses.

With such popularity, it would be easy for them to earn tens of Magic Gold Coins each month… This was much more economical than buying labor in the workshop to produce those little gadgets.

While Darren and others were immersed in dreams of a beautiful life, inside Yiyeta Academy, Helram, Tic, Luo’er, and a group of professors had already arrived in the front hall.

Swarms of fairies flew in from outside the window, placing steaming dishes on the square table in front of everyone.

Roasted tomatoes, mashed potatoes, white bread, grass lizard tailbones, camel beast back meat, fire lion forelegs, and many strange ingredients that Lynn could not recognize at all…

Lynn carefully cut a small piece of foreleg meat and put it in his mouth, feeling that this thing seemed even tougher than beef, although far from delicious due to lack of seasoning, but in Wizard Land, this was already very sumptuous food.

“Professor Lynn, speaking of which I must thank you for letting me see such fascinating aerialships and free-fall experiments upon my arrival at Yiyeta Harbor. I fear ‘Magic Weekly’ won’t lack news for the next month,” Luo’er raised his wine glass, looking at Lynn, and teased.

“Mr. Luo’er, you flatter me… I must ask you to be a bit merciful when writing your articles, and try to be as tactful as possible when expressing your views,” Lynn raised his glass and downed it in one go, speaking politely.

He naturally understood the power of the pen, and just by expressing his views a bit more aggressively in “Magic Weekly”, they could cause him quite a bit of trouble.

“That won’t do, I must truthfully relay everything I’ve seen, as this is the basic integrity of an editor at ‘Magic Weekly’,” Luo’er shook his head, speaking very smoothly.

Lynn was speechless, never believing that a media person would have such a thing as integrity; it simply did not exist. However, since the other party was not willing to make assurances, there was nothing he could do.

“By the way, Professor Lynn, I have a question…” Luo’er stopped waving his wine glass and asked curiously, “What rank of Wizard are you exactly?”

At his words, everyone present turned to look, all curious about this question.

Those who knew some insider information, like Theodore and Kevin, speculated that Lynn must be a three-ring Wizard, given that he had killed an Archbishop, destroyed half a town and a whole three thousand-person guard, even if it was with some kind of pre-prepared alchemical item.

But the only thing that made them doubtful was that Lynn looked far too young, perhaps not even twenty years old.

It was well known in Wizard Land that the most famous prodigy, “Magic Realm Star” August, had also advanced to a three-ring Wizard around his twentieth birthday.

Under countless gazes, Lynn slowly drank the wine in his glass, speaking very composedly.

“This matter, let’s wait till Mr. Tic has assessed my Wizard rank. The testing methods in Wizard Land may differ from those at the Secret Magic Society…”

The group of professors, seeing Lynn playing coy and refraining from commenting any further, grew even more curious. Nevertheless, they could still afford to wait a bit, as finishing a meal wouldn’t take all that long, would it?

Lynn slowly placed his wine glass down, maintaining an impassive expression, but inside, he was feeling slightly anxious.

Although he had never personally admitted that he was a qualified Wizard, and had used a scholar’s title when introducing himself, without a doubt, everyone present regarded him as a qualified Wizard. If something went wrong during the testing, it would indeed be troublesome…
