How could this be possible?
Rafael’s reaction was instinctual, a need to refute what was said. He was certain the heliocentric theory was correct, but whether the continent beneath their feet was flat or spherical was still up for debate.
To rely merely on the sails at sea as evidence was far too arbitrary!
People like Rafael were not in the minority—the planetary theory was the most incredible compared to the verifiable experiment of free-fall.
No one could imagine, let alone manufacture, a sphere so large that walking on its surface felt like walking on flat ground…
It was even harder to understand why seawater would stick to a sphere and not simply fall off.
However, the voices of doubt did not last long.
Because the legendary Wizard, who had wandered the skies for several days, almost getting lost, had finally returned, and brought with him news that shocked everyone.
The continent beneath their feet was indeed likely to be round!
This startling revelation swept across the entire Wizard Land. Whether they believed it or not, everyone remembered the strange name from beyond Wizard Land—Lynn!
…
“Professor Lynn!”
The next morning, after finishing a class in higher mathematics, Lynn was thinking about which creature’s spiritual essence to use as a stepping stone for promotion. However, his train of thoughts was interrupted by a voice.
“Lord Luo’er, what is it?” Lynn asked in surprise, turning to face Luo’er behind him.
“This is today’s edition of the Magic Daily. You probably haven’t had the chance to read it yet,” Luo’er said with a smile, handing Lynn a newspaper.
Upon seeing the intentionally enlarged headlines, Lynn’s lips twitched involuntarily.
“Overturning the Foundations of Magic—The Law of Free Fall,” “From the Secret Magic Society’s Fury: The Magical Theories of Wizard Land Are Outdated”…
“You’re not trying to cause trouble for me on purpose, are you, Lord Luo’er?” Lynn could already imagine the storm that would sweep through Wizard Land.

“How could I? I’m just a regular contributor, and I don’t decide what content gets published,” Luo’er shrugged and said jokingly. “Besides, I was just repeating what you had said.”
Lynn rolled his eyes—fine with everything else, but he certainly had not talked about overturning the foundations of magic.
“You don’t have to worry. A high councilor has already ascended to the skies to verify it, and indeed, the land beneath our feet may well be a sphere,” Luo’er said thoughtfully, still somewhat incredulous even now.
Verified from high above? How high might that have been?
Lynn’s face was filled with astonishment.
Although the planet was round, its sheer size was overwhelming. If it were the size of Earth in his previous life, one would need to ascend 100 kilometers from the surface to see a noticeable curvature…
Of course, the planet beneath them might not be that big, or perhaps the legendary Wizard had exceptionally good eyesight, but it would still require an altitude of over ten kilometers to observe a curvature with the naked eye, which was close to the height of Earth’s ozone layer in his previous life.
However, this also saved him quite a bit of trouble. Now that his two theories had been verified based on factual evidence with a legendary Wizard backing them, he could avoid a lot of trouble.
“I think the invitation from the council should arrive in a few days,” Luo’er said.
“Invitation?” Lynn was momentarily puzzled and asked quizzically.
“Of course, it’s the academic symposium. Wizard Land holds one every year, with representatives from various schools participating,” Luo’er explained. “Also, your skyship patent application has already been submitted by Lord Tic.”
“Next time we meet, I will have to properly thank him,” Lynn said with a smile.
At night, Lynn again entered the manor as Radak. Several crucibles on the lab bench bubbled continuously, everything placed exactly as he had recorded with his cyberbrain. Apparently, no one else had entered during this time.
He checked the progress of the Magic Potion brewing as usual, then picked up the “Magic Creature Atlas” to examine.
It must be said, being an age-old third-ring Wizard, Radak had many books, many of which contained knowledge not attainable in the academy library.
For example, this “Magic Creature Atlas” noted the content and strength of the spiritual substance in the brains of more than a dozen common magical creatures; typically, the stronger they were, the more significant the upgrade of spiritual power after being promoted to an official Wizard.
The only thing that worried Lynn was that the stock of spiritual substances in Radak’s manor only included those from fire lions, Petrified Lizards, and griffins, which were of medium strength at best. Lynn was not entirely confident about completing his promotion.
After all, Carl’s original magical talent could only be considered mediocre, and if it weren’t for his soul fusion that enhanced his spiritual power, it would have been impossible to maximize his Magic Power reserve in just two months.
As he considered, a slight surge of Magic Power suddenly sprang up in the sealed chamber.
Lynn instinctively became alert and looked toward the place from where the Magic Power fluctuation originated. Under a shattered floor tile, something faintly shimmered.
“Mage’s Hand”
Lynn raised his hand to cast a spell, and the broken floor tile was quickly lifted, revealing a delicately designed ring that levitated in front of him.
A ring of the Faceless?
Lynn immediately recognized it. However, this was not the one he had initially received, but rather Radak’s relic.
He had thought it was destroyed by White Phosphorus Fire a long time ago, but surprisingly it was tough enough to withstand thousands of degrees of heat without any damage, continuously flickering with phosphorescence.
According to the description on the initial envelope, this was supposed to be a signal for the gathering.
Considering the timing, it indeed was the day for the “Faceless” to meet.
Lynn’s expression changed slightly; since Radak’s soul had been scattered to the winds, many things could not be confirmed in person. He could only guess that the schematics of the skyship were obtained from Ralph’s brain using a soul-searching witchcraft by Radak.
However, the notes did not mention any need for the skyship.
So, it’s highly likely that this device was not required by Radak himself, but he had obtained it for someone else.
After hesitating for a moment, Lynn quickly made a decision. Perhaps he could attend this meeting as Radak and probe the real intentions of the “Faceless”…
Towards this end, Lynn carefully input a trace of Magic Power into the ring.
It was an exceedingly odd sensation, as if his vision split in two in an instant—one half was the scene inside the secret chamber, the other half a dark void…
