Chapter 58 The truth can withstand any form of test!

"Yes, that is exactly what I meant, Master Helram."

Lin En nodded, looked around at everyone present, then rotated the newspaper in front of him half a circle and pushed it in front of everyone.

"I don't know if you have read this week's Magic Weekly. The legendary wizard Harolf proposed that gravity may exist in all objects, not just the continent beneath our feet."

Speaking of this, Lin En was also a little emotional. After reading the other party's "paper" published in "Magic Weekly", he was surprised to realize that this was the preliminary concept of gravity.

I just don't know how far this legendary wizard has come in his research... Has he figured out the law of universal gravitation, or does he know the essence of gravity...

In any case, this just proves his theory, because in the description of this paper, gravity is not just a force that pulls downward, but it affects the entire body and may even affect and distort space.

"Lord Harof's argument is indeed brilliant and irrefutable, but using it as the only evidence to completely refute the flat earth theory still lacks some persuasiveness." Hellram said thoughtfully. In fact, after reading the manuscript, he was more inclined to believe that the flat earth theory was wrong.

But Hellram also knew that this was a theory that was enough to shake the entire wizarding world's understanding of the world. It was conceivable how much controversy it would cause once it was published in "Magic Weekly", so he had to be cautious.

"I have seen your star map, and the theory of rotation and revolution mentioned above is also very interesting. Let me send this theory to several great wizards who have made achievements in gravitational research. If I can gain their approval, it will not be too late to publish it in Magic Weekly." Hellram said solemnly.

"Of course there is no problem with that. The truth can withstand any form of testing!" Lin En nodded. What he wrote in the manuscript were the purest theories. It would be great if they could be confirmed by professionals.

"Then let's stop talking about the flat earth theory and the planetary theory." Hellram skipped this topic, then took out another manuscript and continued. "This law of free fall is also very interesting. Can you explain it to me in detail? If I'm not mistaken, it should also be related to gravity."

"I think a direct experiment can better illustrate the problem!" Lynn shrugged. Practice is the only criterion for testing the truth.

"Then according to this law, the falling speed of a feather and this dirt ball should be exactly the same!" Kevin, who had been listening to the conversation between the two and had not found a chance to interrupt, couldn't wait to speak.

He admitted that the planetary theory that the [Secret Society] came up with was indeed a school of its own, but this so-called law of falling bodies was pure nonsense!

Kevin directly activated the [Hand of the Mage] to lift up the solid earth ball on the table, and then used the same method to lift the feather pen into the air, and then directly canceled the spell, and the two at the same height fell down together.

In just two seconds, the soil ball fell heavily to the ground and broke into several pieces, while the feather pen took more than ten seconds to fall to the ground.

Seeing this result, the wizards present looked at Lin En together with sarcastic or amusement expressions on their faces.

"This is just the influence of air resistance. Why not try the experiment in a vacuum?" Lin En said calmly. During the half month of drifting in the sea of ​​fog, he had already done a simplified version of the small ball experiment in advance, so he was naturally not worried about the possibility of overturning.

Vacuum? The professors at the academy pondered this new term, and after Lin En's explanation, they quickly understood its meaning...

Helram thought about it, asked everyone to step back, then slowly stretched out his hand and tapped lightly.

Lin En immediately and clearly felt that the "element" in front of him was being stripped away at a very fast speed under some inexplicable force. A moment later, a rectangular vacuum field with a length and width of four meters and a height of seven meters appeared in front of everyone.

Seeing that Helram created and maintained a large vacuum area so easily, Lin En couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

Even though he sucked away the oxygen around him in the slums and tricked the witch hunter, the air was actually circulating continuously and he only created a small temporary low-oxygen zone.

The power of a great wizard is much stronger than that of a formal wizard. Lin En tried to test him, but he didn't expect that the other party could do it so easily.

Hellram took the feather pen and used magic to create a solid iron ball, placing both of them in a vacuum at the same time.

Two objects with a weight difference of a thousand times fall at the same time.

The expressions of Theodore and others gradually changed from casual to horrified at this moment. Their eyes widened and they stared at the scene intently, because the feather pen and the solid iron ball were actually falling at the same speed.

"Really, this is actually true..." Philip muttered to himself in astonishment.

"This is impossible! Master Hellram, could it be that you accelerated the falling speed of the feather pen?" Kevin stood up suddenly, looked at Hellram, and couldn't help but ask.

These words were undoubtedly offensive, but Kevin obviously didn't care about that anymore.

Helram ignored him and continued his experiment, replacing the iron ball and feathers with other materials, such as wood, stone, water droplets... The results of the experiments were exactly the same.

Seeing this, no matter what mood the professors present were in, they had to admit that the law of free fall in the manuscript was the fact!

"Could it be that Master Yade's theory is completely wrong?" The puzzled look on Kevin's face never faded from beginning to end.

"No, there is nothing wrong with his theory. It is just an interpretation of air resistance." Lynn shook his head and said freely.

The reason why Yad's theory became popular and was accepted by most wizards must be that it explained some natural phenomena.

For example, the fluid mechanics knowledge used by his teacher Kelu when improving the [Ice Blade] was an extension of Yad's theory.

When Lin En was reading "Magic Weekly", he even found that some wizards integrated air resistance into the influence of gravity, and believed that the reason why air and elements are constantly moving is also due to the effect of gravity.

This is undoubtedly a very confusing hypothesis.

However, Lynn would never laugh at or look down on the other party. The process of exploring the truth of the world is always accompanied by countless fallacies.

Whether in history or modern times, scholars from all walks of life can often propose many different hypotheses for the same physical phenomenon, each of which sounds reasonable and can explain part of the phenomenon.

Only with the passage of time and continuous verification, truth will eventually triumph over fallacy.

The reason why he can sit here and talk freely is not because he is smarter than everyone present, but simply because he is standing on the shoulders of giants...

Chapter 59: Forbidden Psychic Magic

The free fall experiment was soon over, and when Helram removed the vacuum field, the professors were still unable to recover from the shock.

"It seems that Kelu is right. Some theories in the Wizarding Land are indeed outdated compared to the outside world." Helram said with emotion.

In addition to planetary theory and kinetic energy formulas, there are several unverified theories in Lynn's research manuscripts, which are proved by many symbols that he can't understand at all. They are definitely different from the existing calculation methods in the wizarding land.

When Theodore, Kevin and others heard this, they all looked awkward, but did not refute.

"The population of the wizarding land is still too small!" Philip on the side couldn't help sighing.

Although after hundreds of years of development, the shelter for a small group of escaped wizards has developed into today's magical holy land, even so, the wizarding land has a population of only 600,000, with only about 7,000 official wizards, even fewer great wizards, and only seven legendary wizards.

Outside the land of wizards, the Secas Empire alone has a population of 20 million. Even with the siege and blockade by the Holy See, the number of official wizards must be several times that here. It is not impossible to develop some theories earlier than them.

"Mr. Lin, thank you for taking the risk to bring this precious research manuscript to the wizarding land." Having said this, Hellram paused, then spoke again.

"I have an unwelcome request. I would like to hire you as a professor at Yieta College to open a separate subject and teach some new knowledge about the [Secret Law Society]."

From the operational symbols in the manuscript that he could not understand, it could be seen that the knowledge of the [Secret Society] was absolutely systematic, and special study was required to know the meaning of these symbols.

If Lin En agrees, then when these theories are published in the future, Yieta College will naturally become famous.

Faced with the olive branch thrown by Helram, Lynn's mind was full of thoughts, thinking about the pros and cons.

There are many benefits to joining Yieta Academy. First of all, all his identity problems can be solved, and he will also have a backer. Secondly, he can use the title of professor to check the magic books in the academy and make up for his lack of knowledge in magic.

The downside is that Yieta College is not a top institution with legendary wizards, and it is hard to say how much pressure it can withstand. If he proposes a more subversive theory next time, Hellram may not be able to handle it.

After thinking for a long time, Lin En nodded in agreement.

From the contact with the great wizard after entering the port, it can be seen that Helram is not an arrogant and stubborn person. He can tolerate a group of halflings conducting flight experiments in the square, and he is not in a hurry to question the various theories he proposed. He should be a very suitable partner.

Reliability always comes first. If you meet someone like a certain famous inventor who likes to claim other people's research results as his own, then you are really doomed!

After Lynn agreed to take the professorship, the atmosphere immediately eased. Even Kevin, who had been the most opposed, was no longer as confrontational as before. After all, if this knowledge could be verified, the entire Yieta College would benefit from it.

As for the explosion in the harbor town and the destruction of important transportation routes, no one mentioned it anymore. After all, even if they wanted to hold someone accountable, they didn't know who to hold accountable.

Blame Lin En? Are you kidding? As a good friend of Kelu, he risked being arrested by the Church and took the trouble to send back the new knowledge of the [Secret Law Society] and Kelu's apprentice. Is it appropriate to put the blame on him?

This is inappropriate!

On the contrary, the entire Yieta College owed the other party a favor.

As for Johnny and Lord, one was a wizard apprentice who was brought back knowing nothing, and the other had worked in the wizarding land of Nordland for decades. Even if he had no credit, he had worked hard, and it was not easy to hold him accountable.

In view of these points, they could only reluctantly accept the result that the wizarding land had lost an important transportation route.

"By the way, Master Helram, when we were fighting with Bishop Anruk in the harbor town, one of Colu's apprentices suffered the backlash of magic. I wonder if there is any possibility of saving him..." Lin En suddenly thought of this and spoke out.

"Then let's go and take a look!" Hellram stood up and walked out of the reception room with several professors who were also interested.

Ten minutes later, Lin En and others returned to the dock. The sailors of the [Ship Gang] were still detained here. After Lord calmed these people down, he and everyone else entered the bottom of the cabin of the sailing ship.

A huge ice coffin appeared in front of everyone, and a girl of about thirteen or fourteen was lying quietly inside it. Her face was as pale as paper, and her eyes were closed. It was difficult to tell whether she was unconscious or had already died.

"Use freezing to maintain the minimum body functions?" Kevin, the professor of plastic surgery, nodded. This way there might be a chance of rescue.

However, after melting the ice and carefully examining her, Kevin became somewhat suspicious again. "She is not seriously injured physically, but she must have been severely traumatized mentally. Can you tell me what kind of magic she cast that backfired?"

"It's [Soul Scream]!" Lin En explained.

"Is she a psychic?" Philip frowned immediately and asked suddenly.

"Is there something wrong?" Lynn asked in confusion.

"There's nothing wrong with that, but there are no psychic wizards working in Yieta Harbor now." Philip sighed, and then explained to Lin En.

Three years ago, a tragic event occurred in the land of wizards. The psionic school founded by the great wizard Mok caused the deaths of thousands of people in the entire village during a special psionic experiment.

This incident angered the entire Wizard Council. After sending three great wizards to directly destroy this school, they suddenly banned all schools from studying psychic magic in private.

And those psychic wizards who are recorded in the plan must join the newly established Psychic Academy in the Wizard City and accept corresponding supervision if they want to continue to study witchcraft.

"There are rumors that those evil wizards have developed a forbidden psychic magic, but the specific reason is probably only known by those legendary wizards." Philip said helplessly.

It is also for this reason that after Kelu left, Iyeta College did not recruit another professor of psionics because there was no longer any need for it.

Hearing this, Lin En was also a little surprised. What kind of forbidden magic could make the Wizarding Council impose such strict restrictions on an entire school?

Chapter 60: Three Elements of Becoming a Official Wizard

"I'm afraid the only way to save him is to go to the Wizard City and find those wizards who are proficient in psychic powers." Philip shook his head and sighed, and told Lin En not to hold out too much hope.

Although the girl's body was frozen and seemed to have not changed, more than half a month had passed now, and her soul might have dissipated long ago.

Hearing Philip say this, Lin En was somewhat disappointed. He and Bai Ge did not have much friendship, but the other party used Soul Scream to help him defeat Anluik, so he always did his best to save Bai Ge.

"Let's freeze it first. I happen to know a master of psychic powers who may be able to help...if he is free." Helram suddenly said.

Kevin, Philip and others looked at Hellram in surprise. It was a bit of an overreaction to ask a master of psychic powers to treat a wizard apprentice who was probably dead.

Only Orlando showed a somewhat helpless look on his face. He knew it would be like this.

"Thank you very much, Master Hellram!" Johnny bowed with great emotion.

Lin En also expressed his gratitude to the great wizard with a little surprise.

At Hellram's suggestion, the re-frozen white dove was transferred to the medical room of Iyeta College, while Lynn and Johnny were taken to the professor's and student's residences respectively.
