I Pioneered Scientific Magic

Under Del's continuous narration, the wizards present became increasingly eager for the construction of the magic train that was underway.

Once the railway was completed, the train would be able to reach any city in the kingdom within three days.

And fifty more trains like this would be constructed to meet the transportation and travel demands within the kingdom.

"Truly remarkable!"

Lucas exclaimed with emotion. He imagined the huge snake-like trains racing across the wilderness, their wheels rumbling, transporting massive amounts of goods to every corner of the kingdom.

In just over an hour, he had experienced too much shock.

From airships larger than houses that could carry dozens of people and fly into the sky to fighter jets that could travel at extreme speeds and magical attacks capable of wiping out entire armies, to the magic that turned a vast area into scorched earth...

And now, this magic train that could transport entire legions across hundreds of kilometers in a short time. Lucas felt like he was in a dream.

Except for Monro and Ivina, who had different thoughts, the other wizards were equally excited.

In the past, they had lived in hiding within the empire, and once their identities as wizards were revealed, it would attract the church's pursuit and various fearful and suspicious gazes. Many of them began to doubt whether their path of learning magic and seeking the truth of the world was correct.

The lofty church was like a mountain pressing down on everyone's heads, so grand and majestic that it left no room to breathe!

Only now did they realize that the church didn't seem so great after all; wizards could be so powerful!

Watching the surprised expressions of everyone, Del shook his head amusedly. This was just in the recently occupied City of Fire Oil. If they went to the capital, there would be even more novelties, enough to surprise even him...

"Here is where you will be staying from now on!"

Del led everyone to the academy in the XC area of the city, which was undergoing renovation.

Originally, this place was a school run by the church, for the education of noble children and the training of nuns. Now it had been directly renovated. Although its function remained the same as a place of learning, the teachings were no longer about the Bible, but about magic!

Although Lucas and the others were wizards, they were newcomers after all. Del did not directly lead them to their accommodation but first conducted a wizard level test.

After entering the academy, Ivina found that they were not the first group to arrive. There were crowds of people inside, at least thousands of wizards who had escaped from the empire to the City of Fire Oil through various channels.

"Because it's a special period now, there's a little test..." At this point, Del paused noticeably, then had someone bring out a stack of paper and distribute one to each person present.

"Next, all you need to do is read the words on it out loud!"

Ivina took the paper and, after seeing its contents, her pupils shrank and a strange expression appeared on her face.

Monro was dumbfounded. He didn't expect these wizards to come up with such insidious and malicious ideas.

"Is this a show of mistrust towards us?" A decent-looking witch pursed her lips and asked with a smile.

"No, this is Lord Lynn's personal grievance, so everyone entering the city must curse him before they can proceed." Del shrugged. He didn't dare take responsibility for this. 𝘙�

Only the Star of Magic would have the guts to do this.

In fact, relying on this little trick, they had already caught dozens of church spies.

"The Goddess of the Moon, Aila, is just a malicious old witch. One day she will pay for her evil deeds..." Lucas read out the content on the paper without hesitation, his tone filled with righteous indignation.

More and more wizards spoke up.

The content of each paper was different, but undoubtedly all were curses.

Many apprentices hesitated at first. After all, before becoming wizards, they were also subjects of the empire and had a deep fear of the Goddess of the Moon, whom the church proclaimed as the Creator.

But in such an atmosphere, they quickly overcame their fear of the god and some even felt unsatisfied, the curses becoming more and more vile.

Monro's anger was almost at the threshold, but at the moment Del's gaze swept over them, all his anger turned into a piercing chill.

Cold sweat beaded on Monro's forehead, and looking at the malicious words on the paper in his hand, he was caught in a dilemma.

To curse or not to curse, that was the question...

...

In the evening, in the City of Fire Oil, within the academy, Ivina and Monro, who had completed the level assessment, entered the assigned accommodation.

After closing the door, Monro immediately checked the room and then took out a crystal ball from his pocket. Seeing that it didn't light up, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, realizing that those wizards hadn't cast any strange magic in this room.

It was only now that Monro vented all the anger he had accumulated throughout the day.

"These minions of darkness, damned lunatics dare to defile the greatness of the Lord!" Monro muttered in a low voice, his fist slamming into the wall beside him. After venting for a while, he quickly closed his eyes again, making a gesture of prayer, repenting his sins to the great Lord in his heart.

Ivina also silently prayed and repented in her heart, feeling equally angry at the despicable methods of those wizards.

Before officially joining the Punishment Knights, although Ivina occasionally went to the local church for regular prayers, she was not considered a devout believer of the Goddess of the Moon. Moreover, she was not valued by her father, unlike her brother Lott, who entered the school set up by

the church for further education. Therefore, she had never received any secret training, let alone become a believer in the true sense of the word.

However, Monro was different. He had always been favored by the church, and even more so after he obtained the knowledge of magic. His faith in the Goddess of the Moon had never wavered.

At this moment, Ivina could see the embarrassment and anger in Monro's eyes. She understood that, although Monro seemed calm on the surface, he was feeling very uncomfortable inside.

Perhaps... She suddenly thought of something, her eyes revealing a strange light.
