Chapter 235: This is the True Essence of Thunder Magic!
After Loude took his leave, Flora and the others breathed a sigh of relief. Everything that had happened seemed to them like an unreal dream.
"Teacher, what should we do now?" a male wizard asked anxiously.
"If they truly come from the land of wizards and have a good understanding of thunder magic, that's not necessarily a bad thing," Anthony said solemnly.
In fact, the kingdom of Hadralata had more than just their wizard faction. However, those people were insignificant. If they were abruptly brought into his plans, it might just cause chaos.
But it didn't mean they didn't need allies.
The influence of the Holy See was deeply rooted in the kingdom, and wizards remained in an absolutely disadvantaged position. Without the tacit approval of a certain someone, they couldn't openly hide under the nose of the Holy See.
"The legendary land of wizards?" Flora murmured softly. She had heard rumors about the land of wizards, but she had always thought it was just some fantasy of wizards.
"How is Rell?" Anthony turned and asked.
After examining Rell's condition, a potion master shook his head and sighed. "He's severely injured. His right hand is probably useless, needing quite some time to recover. But thankfully, his life has been preserved!"
"As long as he's alive," Anthony nodded. Losing the right hand wasn't a big deal; he knew of at least three potions that could regenerate severed limbs.
Of course, each was quite expensive...
"Flora, take care of things here. Ebur, come with me," Anthony said again. He was intrigued by Ebur's experiences these past days, especially the internal combustion engine and that alchemical device capable of generating electricity.
Meanwhile, Flora and the others began cleaning up the meeting room, now turned into ruins.
Fortunately, when they cast the spell earlier, Anthony had already activated a protective magic covering the entire residence. Otherwise, such a powerful energy fluctuation might have attracted the Holy See's personnel long ago!
A day passed in the blink of an eye. When the group of wizards finished cleaning the last falling debris, midnight had arrived.
Anthony, accompanied by Flora and others, returned to the secret chamber and solemnly wore the ring on the ring finger of his right hand.
"Take care of the protection in the residence. Wake me up if there's a major crisis."
After Anthony's serious instructions, he activated the magic on the ring. The next moment, he found his consciousness split.
Before him was a void, no discernible direction, surrounded by endless darkness. Only scattered specks of light shone in the distance, one of them particularly brilliant.
This light wasn't like a candle; it seemed to penetrate vast distances...
And it felt like he was rapidly moving through this void and darkness. When he got closer, Anthony discovered that the exceptionally bright light was an immensely colossal 'fireball.' He couldn't find words to describe the enormity and grandeur of this 'fireball.' It resembled a forge of hell, with flames forming immense waves on its surface...
"What is that?" Anthony murmured.
"That's a star shining in the universe... our sun above our heads!" Lynn's figure appeared before Anthony. He glanced around and spoke with a smile.
"What about those?" Anthony surveyed the numerous dots in the distance, already having a guess in mind.
"They are also stars, just too far away, so their light appears dim," Lynn casually replied.
"And this is beyond space and time! You can understand it as a cosmic projection created by the Arcane Society. We've inscribed the natural laws we've discovered here. When it's fully perfected, perhaps this place will become a second real universe!" Lynn spoke with emotion. Initially cautious, only after witnessing Ougust projecting the Doomsday Domain into the real world, did this idea sprout in his mind.
"A cosmic projection?!" Anthony's mind trembled.
Though he had tried to estimate the Arcane Society's capabilities, their actions still exceeded his expectations by far.
A projection of an entire universe! What audacity! What precise and elaborate magical theories would be needed to support this?
Anthony couldn't even begin to imagine!
"So, is the Arcane Society the leader of the land of wizards?" Anthony pondered aloud. In his view, only such a wizard sanctuary could have such grand ambitions.
"No, the Arcane Society is merely an academic research organization. It exists in the land of wizards, in the Empire of Secas, and even beyond the empire!" Lynn explained casually. "We're eager to welcome every wizard with an academic research spirit to explore the mysteries of this world together."
Lynn's response surprised Anthony, but he quickly understood. It was a wider scope, encompassing the most exceptional wizards across the entire continent—an academic research organization.
And now, he had become one of them.
"Thank you for your explanation, Sir Lynn!" Anthony took several deep breaths, suppressing the fluctuations of his emotions, then continued, "But I still have many doubts and hope you won't mind enlightening me..."
"I want to know what lightning is? What causes it and why does it exist?" Anthony eagerly asked. This had been a persistent question troubling him.
"Electricity is a natural phenomenon generated by stationary or moving charges!" Lynn said, extending his right hand and snapping his fingers. Many faint lights appeared around them.
"Charges come in positive and negative types. Two charged objects exert forces on each other and feel the forces exerted by the other. Objects with similar charges repel each other, while objects with different charges attract. When these charges meet, they release a large amount of light and heat... that's what we see as lightning!"
As Lynn spoke, the faint lights around them began to tremble, simulating the attraction and repulsion reactions of positive and negative charges. It was like mischievous children embracing each other or perhaps disdainfully moving away, finally gathering and colliding, creating dazzling flashes of light in the black space, drawing arcs resembling spider webs in the void.
Anthony watched, entranced. This was what he sought, now presented to him so tangibly...
