Chapter 257: Creating a Haven for Wizards

Lynn's words echoed within the Skyrealm. The assembly of lawmakers understood the gravity; should the battlefield shift to the domain of wizards, even in victory, losses would be catastrophic.

A defeat would herald the end for the wizards.

The crux lay in the fact that even the most confident faction lacked assurance of victory. Initiating an offensive would necessitate splitting their forces—some defending within the wizard's territory while others marched towards the Secas Empire.

Conversely, contracting their forces here would require the Papacy to traverse the entire Misty Sea, arriving from afar. Even with their best deployed, their numbers would merely amount to tens of thousands.

Yet, they could utilize various pre-set protective enchantments to bridge the gap in their strengths.

"You've something in mind, Lynn, speak freely," suddenly interjected Aurora. She knew well that such a proposal wouldn't be baseless.

Under the scrutiny of the assembly, Lynn extended a hand, lightly tapping the conference table. Ripples spread across its surface, unveiling a colossal map covering the table's expanse before the assembly.

This delineated the Secas Empire's territories, spanning roughly four to five million square kilometers with tens of millions of inhabitants, those officially recorded alone!

A colossal entity indeed, yet the wizard's domain, marked scarcely larger than a fingertip, indicated the stark contrast between the two sides.

"This is the Kingdom of Hadrata, the largest under Secas's rule," Lynn swiftly pointed to the coastal expanse on the right side of the Secas Empire, elucidating Anthony's plan for a magic-based kingdom.

In essence, it involved wizards providing support, sowing discord within the Empire, pitting them against themselves. If circumstances allowed, the goal was to seize control of the entire kingdom, fashioning it into a haven for wizards.

As Lynn continued to explain, Sanchez and the others saw the brilliance of this plan.

From the map, it was evident that Hadrata occupied close to one-fifth of the Empire's territories. Success here would deal a significant blow to the Papacy! It was far more favorable than staying in the wizard's domain, waiting for the enemy to strike. It shifted the battleground into the heart of the Secas Empire. Even in unfavorable circumstances, they would have an escape route. At the very least, it would buy them more time until the Legendary Spell, the 'Mists of Lost,' was once again prepared!

Moreover, the concept of a magical kingdom stirred a fervor within them.

"Is this Master Anthony part of the Secret Mage Society?" queried Harof after Lynn's exposition.

"Indeed," Lynn nodded.

It wasn't just Harof; other lawmakers too were intrigued. Since Lynn's prominence in the wizard's domain, the Secret Mage Society had become a hot topic of discussion.

This unique magical organization was excessively mysterious. Except for Lynn, hardly anyone from the outside world had encountered members of the Secret Mage Society!

Although Tieck, Alva, and others bragged about the profound wisdom of Master Leibniz and the magic journal's publications on advanced calculus, sparking enthusiasm among wizards eager to learn higher mathematics, there remained considerable skepticism about this overly enigmatic organization.

"Master Anthony is indeed a member of the Secret Mage Society, orchestrating the Magic Kingdom plan within the Empire. Now, as we reach the final stages, he's willing to collaborate with us," Lynn said with a smile.

"This is the best news I've heard!" Harof's previously somber expression eased. If some members of the Secret Mage Society could participate, it would undoubtedly alleviate much pressure.

The other lawmakers were also immensely curious about this new member from the Secas Empire's Secret Mage Society, bombarding Lynn with questions.

Lynn didn't hold back, promptly detailing how Anthony had developed a unique method enabling even formal wizards to utilize electromagnetic forces.

Perhaps due to the prior information Lynn had shared with Anthony regarding electromagnetic magic, the latter had no reservations. Alternatively, Anthony might have deemed the methods researched by the Secret Mage Society as unappealing or laughable.

Upon learning that the method involved channeling the power of thunder into one's body, the audience couldn't help but break into a cold sweat.

Though using one's body as an experiment was not unusual for wizards, the potency of thunder was terrifying. Even for grand wizards, invoking thunder within oneself bore the risk of death.

It was truly worthy of the members of the Secret Mage Society; their dedication to academic pursuits was admirable.

"Of course, after decades of research, the Secret Mage Society has now devised safe means to study electromagnetic magic. Even methods to generate lightning without relying on magic have been developed, eliminating the life-threatening risks involved... As for the specific techniques, they're currently only accessible to members of the Secret Mage Society," Lynn spoke confidently. With Anthony's backing, presenting various electromagnetic theories would be far more convenient.

Lynn's words tantalized the audience. The might of electromagnetic magic needed no verbose description—bolts crossing through the clouds and occasional thunderstorms within the wizard's domain were testament enough.

Artificially creating lightning was the key to mastering thunder magic. Otherwise, they would have to wait for stormy weather to ascend thousands of meters into the sky to receive a lightning strike.

Using magic to simulate electric currents was essentially magic itself. After undergoing 'Material Deconstruction,' apart from magic, nothing remained. Thus, to truly study magic, they needed to delve into the most primitive form of that element!

Tieck, Alva, Ellison, and other lawmakers who had previously joined the Secret Mage Society due to their interest in higher mathematics were pleasantly surprised by this unexpected benefit.

"Alright, let's postpone discussions on electromagnetic magic until after the meeting," Harof interrupted the discussion, solemnly addressing the assembly. "Now, let's proceed with the vote on the Magic Kingdom!"

The discussions in the Skyrealm ceased abruptly. After a moment of contemplation and hesitation, over 140 lawmakers began to cast their votes. Eventually, nearly eighty percent of them supported the Magic Kingdom plan, concluding the meeting.
