Chapter 234: Lynn: "Goodness, everyone has to undergo electric therapy!"
In the urgent cry from Laude, Anthony's movements suddenly halted.
At this moment, the Faraday cage was already in ruins, turning into a spiked sphere that caved inward, its surface electric shield completely destroyed.
Had Anthony not been restraining the electricity with a magnetic field, Laude inside the cage would have been electrocuted long ago.
"Lightning and magnetism…" The old wizard with white hair looked at the destroyed Faraday cage, his expression somewhat dazed.
One moment, it was the bane of thunder, and the next, because of the electrically generated magnetic field, it became a true prison...
Anthony finally realized that it wasn't a massive flaw in the thunder magic he'd studied but his own shallow understanding and research, merely scratching the surface.
The shift in the strength of spells happens in an instant! This affirmed the saying that for wizards, knowledge is power!
"Hahaha... so that's it, so that's it!" Anthony exclaimed, thrilled and excited, his face filled with enthusiasm, almost akin to the feeling of mastering thunder for the first time.
Though the group of wizards present didn't entirely grasp Lynn's lengthy discourse, they witnessed one fact: the cursed lightning antagonist had been breached!
Risking their lives to study lightning magic wasn't futile. This revived the spirits of those who had lost heart, like Flora, and they secretly noted the magnetic force's ability to break Faraday's cage.Lynn didn't mind divulging the principles and methods to counter this lightning antagonist. After all, the use for making Faraday cages wasn't limited to just metallic elements. If someone were to apply this method against him, they'd suffer greatly!
"Thank you very much for your guidance, Mr. Lynn." After experiencing the initial excitement and exhilaration, Anthony quickly regained composure, addressing the young wizard before him with a slight bow.
"About electric potential and magnetic fields, I have many more questions. If you're willing, I hope you can stay here for a few more days. I would like to seek your guidance..."
"Teacher!" Flora and others exclaimed in astonishment.
For those born in the Kingdom of Hadralata, Grand Wizard Anthony was the most powerful and wise person in their eyes. Now, seeing their white-haired teacher bowing to a younger wizard like this, it was somewhat difficult for them to accept.
However, Anthony didn't mind. Having lived for so long, notions of prestige had long been put aside. If he couldn't break through the legendary, he would probably pass away within ten years.
Apart from his dream of establishing a magical kingdom, what he ardently desired was to glimpse the secrets of thunder magic!
He urgently wanted to know what thunder truly was, how it formed, and why it existed.
And this young wizard before him was the only one possibly able to answer these questions.
Just from the principle of creating Faraday's cage and the conversion of electromagnetic relationships, Anthony understood that Lynn's understanding of thunder and magnetic fields probably exceeded his imagination!
The surprise at the attitude of this Grand Wizard wasn't just felt by Flora; Lynn was equally taken aback.
Although in the land of wizards, many higher-level wizards were willing to set aside their status and discuss magical theories on an equal footing, Lynn had never encountered someone like Anthony, who directly asked for guidance and learning in such a manner. This was his first time.
After all, he looked too young. In a community where accumulating knowledge showcased power, it inevitably raised some doubts. That was why he often appeared in the guise of other scientific geniuses, conducting misleading conversations.
Lynn pondered for a while and then spoke, "Of course, no problem. But this is just one of my avatars. My time here is limited. If you're interested, why not join the Society of Mystical Arts? We can delve deeper into the realm of magic!"
As he spoke, Lynn tossed over the prepared "Ring of Mystics," accurately landing it in Anthony's hand.
"The Society of Mystical Arts?!" Anthony looked at the ring engraved with peculiar runes.
"You can perceive it as an academic organization dedicated to exploring the true essence of magic. This ring serves as a token and a key to enter the magical realm... Tomorrow midnight is the time!" Lynn casually explained, then paused for a moment before speaking again.
"I have a question I'd like you to answer. Logically, you should not be able to sense the existence of charges, so how do you harness lightning?"
This had been a perplexing question for Lynn all along. Initially, he thought it was related to magnetic fields, as in magnetic induction, given that the Kingdom of Hadralata possessed a large magnetite mine.
But Ebur seemed extremely limited in understanding magnetic induction, even reacting astonishingly to magnetic generators, so his speculation was undoubtedly wrong.
"Our method is to weaken the power of thunder and conduct it into the body, allowing the body's magic to gradually become familiar with this peculiar force until it can mimic thunder using magic..." Anthony straightforwardly explained.
This process was incredibly lengthy, depending on each person's innate talents. It usually required enduring hundreds or even thousands of electric shocks. Not everyone could master this, and up till now, over ten wizards had died from excessively powerful currents...
Listening to Anthony's explanation, Lynn's expression became rather peculiar.
Goodness, everyone has to undergo electric therapy, huh?
Quite courageous!
No wonder why Ebur could physically withstand the shocks and bounce back after half a day's rest. He had simply become accustomed to it!
After speaking, Anthony looked toward Lynn, awaiting his evaluation.
"Well, it's a unique method..." It took Lynn quite a while to squeeze out that sentence.
Of course, this statement held no mocking intention. Anthony essentially reversed the use of magical characteristics, allowing formal wizards who couldn't perceive charges or magnetic fields to advance in utilizing the power of thunder magic!
It was indeed a shortcut to acquiring power...
Thinking this, Lynn glanced at the meeting hall, now destroyed by the previous thunder magic, and at the unconscious Rell on the ground before speaking.
"I believe you still have some trouble to deal with. Thus, today's meeting concludes here. It's time for us to go, Laude!"
As his words fell, the magical projection dissolved into a faint light and disappeared before everyone. Laude, pretending to adjust his robe, bowed to the crowd as a sign and then took his leave.
