Chapter 127: Chapter 104 Are the Wizards of the [Secret Magic Society] Crazy?
“He wants to become… a Grand Wizard?” Barbara said in shock, soon followed by a hint of longing appearing on her face.
No doubt, it was the dream of every third-ring wizard. There were thousands of official wizards in the Wizard Land, but only a few dozen had ever become Grand Wizards.
But the question was, how? By relying on the blood of Death’s Eye?
“This is just our speculation,” Hank said, a bit more rational. If promotion were that easy, they wouldn’t have been stuck as third-ring wizards for so many years.
“Speculation or not, I’m going to find North and get to the bottom of it…” Barbara said with emotion. North, like them, had ordinary talent and no hope of breaking through to Grand Wizard in this lifetime.
If the other party could advance by this method, then surely she could as well!
“Ask… how?” Lynn scoffed.
Barbara’s face turned ashen. According to Hank, North was now nowhere to be found, likely hiding from them and secretly planning something.
What worried her even more was that by the time she found him, North might have already completed his breakthrough, putting them at an absolute disadvantage.
“Perhaps we can find some help,” Hank thought of a malicious plan. There was more than one or two third-ring wizards who aspired to become Grand Wizards.
In a sense, they had many allies!
If North was so secretive, perhaps the method he used for promotion wasn’t entirely legitimate. They could threaten North with revealing his method to everyone in the Wizard Land unless he shared it with them, or else let their confidants spread the news everywhere.
For a method of promotion that might exist, Hank and Barbara were devising cunning plans, even with a hint of madness.
Hearing this, Lynn broke out in a cold sweat, his eyes showing a faint tinge of pity towards the two.
Although Hank and Barbara were esteemed third-ring wizards, at this moment, they were almost no different from those apprentices who risked their lives for the chance to become an official wizard…
But such was the harsh world of wizards, where every level of hierarchy symbolized power and privilege.
After agreeing on various methods to press North for answers and setting a temporary alliance, Hank and Barbara could hardly wait to take their leave.
They were both eager to go back and study the vial of blood they had obtained at the Mist Sea to figure out what was so special about it.
After the two left, Lynn thoughtfully took out a bottle containing a dark green liquid.
In the past few days, he had naturally done some research on the blood of Death’s Eye, but the results were quite bad. The power contained in this blood was very strange with a strong rejection property; it couldn’t be used for Shaping magic potions at all.
The rodents that ingested the blood directly died mysteriously within just a few seconds, and even dissection of their bodies revealed no cause of death.
Lynn suddenly remembered that North once mentioned that this blood was used in a certain Alchemy Array…
Perhaps he could start from there.
…
While conducting his secret studies, Lynn did not forget that he was still a professor with classes to teach; in fact, his one-week vacation had already ended.
Facing the newly resumed advanced mathematics course, the Wizard Apprentices were both expectant and headachy.
During the break period from the advanced mathematics course, they had all been working on the homework Lynn had left for them, which contained all sorts of strange and peculiar problems.
For instance, a wizard who had a number of chickens and rabbits in a cage: the heads counted up to thirty-five, and the feet counted up to ninety-four; how many chickens and rabbits were in the cage?
Or another example, where a wizard spent ten silver coins to buy a camel beast, sold it for twelve silver coins, then spent fifteen silver coins to buy it back, and finally sold it to another person for twenty silver coins; how much did he earn in the end?
Besides these, there were other conundrums like the snail that rested on a tree after running a while, a frog that kept sliding back down as it tried to leap out of a well, the carpenter who couldn’t figure out which keys fit which locks, and calculating the area of the shade where two squares intersected, and so on…
Ailoke really couldn’t comprehend how Lynn’s mind worked, why it would come up with so many weird problems.
And had those wizards from the Secret Magic Society lost their minds too? Why keep chickens and rabbits together in one cage, and then determine their numbers by counting heads and feet? If they had that much free time, they might as well have separated them already.
“Very good, it seems like you’ve all grasped it quite well,” Lynn said after briefly looking over the homework he had collected.
Although there were many problems, they were all rooted in the most basic knowledge of solving equations and geometry; it was just that the variety of problems was quite broad. These were classic problems he had searched for from his intelligent brain.
It had to be said, the Wizard Apprentices’ minds were much more capable than those of ordinary people. Ailoke, Johnny, and the others, deservedly elite class students, had already mastered the basics within just two months.
The apprentices, upon hearing Lynn’s words of praise, couldn’t help but show joy on their faces, especially Pearce.
As one of the longest-enrolled apprentices at the academy, his magic power was already brimming. He was forced to stay in the academy because he lacked talent in elements, alchemy, magic potions, and Shaping Science.
But advanced mathematics was different. Although his talent was not as good as Ailoke’s or Johnny’s, it was still much better than that of the others. This might be his only hope for graduation!

“Professor Lynn, does that mean we’ve completed this advanced mathematics course?” An excited Pearce inquired.
“You’re far from done. So far, you’ve only learned the most basic of the basics,” Lynn said, shaking his head and speaking with a mix of laughter and helplessness.
This is still basic?
Ailoke, Pearce, and the others couldn’t quite believe it; they thought they had learned everything that could be learned.
After all, they now mastered a variety of calculation methods such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, exponentiation, and square roots. They could also precisely calculate the length, width, height, and surface area of various complex objects, and knew exactly how many days it would take for that lazy snail to climb onto the wall and how many jumps the frog needed to escape the well—and they could clearly calculate the weird problem of the chickens and rabbits in the same cage.
What else was there to learn?
“There’s still trigonometry, probability, linear algebra, planar vectors, inequalities, infinite series, and so on… Have you mastered all of these?” Lynn asked with a smile.
Lynn’s signature smile sent a shiver down the spines of the apprentices present, and his words left them even more puzzled.
The only thing they recognized was the triangle in trigonometry!
