No wonder Wizard Land guards the recipe for the “Magic Source” so rigorously—if it were made public, it would probably turn into a werewolf slaughter, with those apprentices whose talent is insufficient and who are desperate for promotion capable of doing anything.
“Is this what Scarlet Thorns means?” Lynn immediately felt that the name was very apt, just like the characteristics of the magic potion, where every wizard promoted within the Scarlet Thorns had ascended through the fresh blood of their companions.
While thinking about this, Lynn turned his gaze back to the remaining manuscripts. Radak’s research results were extensive and mainly related to Spiritual Magic.
For example, how to use an alchemical formation to extract a person’s soul, and how to create Corpse Ghosts as well as containers for storing souls.
The reason Radak focused on Spiritual Magic was simple: his talent was insufficient, and he was unable to step into the realm of a great wizard, so he planned to use some unorthodox methods.
What Radak truly wanted to do, it seems, was to transfer his own soul into a more talented body.

However, this was obviously not an easy task—the notes recorded dozens of experimental attempts, all of which had failed.
Radak had tried to extract the soul of an apprentice and directly usurp that body by putting his own soul into it, but the body and soul did not adapt well to each other, forcing him to abandon the attempt.
Later, he thought of invading the body of a still-living wizard apprentice.
Still, the method to perfectly integrate two souls eluded Radak until his death.
Seeing this, Lynn felt somewhat embarrassed. Strictly speaking, he seemed to have achieved these things when he had traveled through time, even though he himself didn’t know how.
Regardless, prioritizing the advancement of his wizard level was the real issue. Having learned the method to create the “Magic Source,” Lynn naturally hoped to break through to become an official wizard as soon as possible.
In doing so, his last weakness would no longer exist.
All through the night, Lynn devoted his energy to the production of the magic potion, thanks to Radak’s estate, which had an adequate reserve of magic potion ingredients—whatever materials he wanted, he simply had to step out of the secret room and order the apprentices to fetch them.
The only problem was Lynn’s limited research on potionology. Though he held the formulas, he could only slowly figure out each magic potion’s characteristics, handling methods, and timing of placement, and in just one night, he wasted materials worth hundreds of Gold Coins.
As for this, he was quite open-minded, since he was not using his own resources.
A potion made by one’s own hand is obviously more reliable than those made by others.
So he kept busy until dawn, and his old crucible was now filled with a chaotic-colored liquid. The brewing cycle of the magic potion was about three days. Once the color became completely translucent, the most important spiritual quality could be added—this was a first-class “Magic Source.”
Seeing the breakthrough opportunity was near, Lynn forced himself to stay calm, then he began brewing the second batch of magic potion.
Of course, he needed to find someone to be a guinea pig before taking it himself.
If Radak had recklessly changed the formula or had tampered with it in some way, then he would have been seriously duped.
…
While Lynn was busy brewing the magic potion, all of Wizard Land was already abuzz with the latest issue of the “Magic Daily.”
“Overturning the foundations of magic— the law of free fall,” “Cries from the Secret Magic Society: Wizard Land’s magic theory is already outdated,” “Discussing continents and the ocean from the perspective of ships and sea surfaces—our land might be spherical,” “The dual-sphere experiment of the sky ships—unveiling Master Yade’s astonishing oversights”
As a professional writer, Luo’er clearly knew how to attract attention—the one hundred thousand copies of the newspaper increased in production were swept away within half a day and soon placed on every Wizard’s desk.
“This is simply absurd!”
In a grand Magic workshop, Wizard Rafael burst into incredulous laughter after glancing at the headline of the Magic Daily.
A Wizard of the Third Circle from the outside world dared to claim he had overturned the foundation of Magic, challenging the notion that Magic theories were outdated—this could only be described as ignorance.
But was that person insane? To brazenly publish such absurd statements.
Rafael felt a rising sense of doubt and, restraining his impatience, began to read; his expression shifted from disdain and scorn to skepticism, especially after seeing the star chart on the page, which changed his expression entirely.
Perfect, absolutely perfect!
As an architect with obsessive-compulsive disorder, Rafael firmly believed that the truths of the world must be highly regular and aesthetically pleasing…
However, the star charts devised by wizards of the Prophecy School seemed elegant with the closer stellar motions but became chaotic with the more distant stars, even displaying erratic jumping movements.
So, Rafael almost instantly confirmed that the star chart in the Magic Daily was correct.
Bang~
As he was thinking, two loud impact sounds suddenly came from outside the door, accompanied by the cracking sound of floor tiles. Rafael, extremely displeased, put away the newspaper, walked out the door, and then saw two half-meter diameter spheres smashed on the ground tiles below the distant tower.
Following that, waves of noise came from the tower above,
“It’s true, the wooden and iron balls fell at the same time.”
“Nonsense, I saw it very clearly, the wooden ball was slower by 0.3 seconds,” said a male Wizard stubbornly, who had been closely watching the entire process with the far-sight technique.
“Didn’t it say so here? That’s due to air resistance. What Master Yade actually meant was this!”
“But why is it different for feathers and paper sheets?”
“It is said that Master Helram has already conducted experiments; by evacuating the air, anything will fall at the same time.”
…
A crowd of apprentices gathered at the top of the tower, heatedly discussing the experiments recorded in the Magic Daily, many heatedly voicing objections and nearly coming to blows amid the argument.
At the sight of the two spheres, Rafael realized that these apprentices were verifying the law of free fall. Although the height and weight might not match, the outcome was evidently the same.
“Lord Rafael! Is the land beneath our feet really round?” asked a male Wizard, confused, who was in charge of recording the experiment.
Since the law of free fall had been confirmed, could it be that the so-called spherical earth theory was also true?
