Chapter 288: Chapter 275: Lighting up the Night Sky!
“I’ve set it up, Dean Lynn!”
Atop the high ladder on the clearing, Lydia waved her hand and shouted loudly, the reason for placing the light bulb so high was of course to allow everyone to see it!
“Then let’s begin!” Lynn nodded, looked at Ailoke and the others beside him, and had them start the motor.
The “clank clank clank” of the motor immediately resounded throughout the castle, startling the onlooking paupers in the distance.
This motor also utilized the principle of cutting magnetic lines of force, and without an outer shell for protection, everyone could see the small sparks flying around the rapidly moving rotor of the motor.
A continuous stream of electric current was passing through the wires into the light bulb.
...
Inside, several strands of fire lion mane intertwined and spiraled, starting to emit a faint light.
Moments later, the light grew brighter and soon outshone the dim glow of the torches around, illuminating the whole clearing as if it were daytime.
Those who were looking directly at the light source, like Ryder and the others, squinted under the intense and dazzling illumination, or subconsciously blocked it with their hands, as if they were looking at the noonday Sun.
“They’ve trapped lightning in that sphere!” someone in the crowd shouted tremulously.
Ham and the others also looked on in amazement at the bulb scattering light in the mid-air, then at the motor continuing to spin.
They had previously imagined what kind of methods the Wizards would use to make the night as bright as day, yet they hadn’t expected that the method would involve binding lightning!
The light emanating from the bulb reached far, and the paupers hidden in their houses couldn’t help but look through the windows toward the crowd-filled clearing, where it seemed as if a small Sun had risen…
Watching this scene, Lynn was exceedingly satisfied; they had already verified this in the lab, but this should count as the first outdoor experiment.
This was their first step into the era of electrical appliances!
The performance of the fire lion mane was much better than Lynn had anticipated; the only drawback, if it could be called that, was a shorter than expected lifespan. By his estimation, even mane obtained directly from the fire lion would not last half a year before burning out due to the high temperatures.
Of course, in a sense, that wasn’t a drawback…
And compared to tungsten filament, this biological material was extremely environmentally friendly, capable of limitless regeneration…
“It looks like Yeyeta will no longer have nights,” Philip remarked sentimentally. The material used to make these light bulbs wasn’t complex, and the Kingdom of Hadarata had plenty of magnetic ore. He could foresee that in the not too distant future, lights would illuminate every corner of the city.
“It’s like a small Sun!” Ryder murmured.
“It’s far from that, a real artificial Sun would be tens of thousands of times more dazzling!” Lynn said with a smile.
Hearing this, the people present looked at Lynn with odd expressions, as if his words implied they could truly create a Sun.
“So you’re saying light is electricity, and electricity is light, right, Professor Lynn?” Johnny, who had been pondering for a while, suddenly asked.
They had channeled electricity into the mane of the fire lion to create light, so was the light they felt every day also produced in this way?
This question actually stumped all the formal wizards, including Philip, who all furrowed their brows and fell into deep thought.
“That doesn’t seem right, does it? Light and electricity manifest in different forms, and besides, we can create light in other ways,” Orlando shook his head and conjured a fireball with his hand. “For example, this. Can we really say that fire is light?”
Inside Wizard Land, there has always been talk of the light element, and many wizards have sought to unravel its secrets.
But the ‘light element’ is very tricky; it seems to be everywhere yet elusive, and simply cannot be sensed with magic power.

However, they have still summarized a number of regularities, such as light often being accompanied by heat upon its creation, being able to be reflected, absorbed, etc., and they have developed many spells that utilize light.
“Your thought is good, Johnny, but you’ll have to explore this secret on your own!” Lynn couldn’t help but laugh, clearly not intending to directly give away the answer, as understanding the laws of the world has to be done step by step, and one must step on both the wrongs and the rights to possess a truly complete theory of magic.
“Whoever among you can thoroughly research light, no, even if it’s just a little bit of understanding, would be enough to earn a Corona Medal and make a bold mark in the magic history books!” Lynn spoke very earnestly.
A Corona Medal?
When Lynn said this, Ailoke and the others were all incredibly excited—this was the highest honor in the Magic World!
Even Lydia was feeling tempted. She didn’t have much magical talent and thought it would be difficult to pass the formal wizard’s test, but that didn’t stop her from becoming the first Wizard Apprentice to receive the Corona Medal!
“Professor? Then where should we start exploring the secrets of light?” Lydia quickly spoke up with eagerness.
Orlando laughed to himself, thinking if the headmaster knew, he’d have already mentioned it, and wouldn’t be leaving the opportunity to them.
To his surprise, Lynn pulled out a sparkling clear piece of glass from his pocket and waved it in front of everyone.
“You can start from this!”
“Headmaster, isn’t that just a piece of ordinary glass?” Ailoke frowned disdainfully.
Glass products may be very precious in the kingdom of Hadlata, but in Iyeta, even ordinary commoners could afford them; even when they were expanding the school, they planned to install them in the windows for better light transmission and didn’t think they were anything special.
“To be precise, this is a prism!” Lynn explained with a smile and placed it under the light. Only then did everyone present notice the difference.
This prism looked just like a beautifully cut gemstone. Light entered through one side of the prism, and after refraction, emerged from another side. But the light that refracted wasn’t a bright white but an incredibly dazzling gradient of colors—comprised of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet—casting a spectacular sight in the shadows…
Ailoke and the others looked on in surprise at the scene before them.
Light… it had been split apart!
“The white light we see is so beautiful!” Lydia exclaimed both astonished and thrilled.
“Professor, what is the principle behind this?” Pearce asked as he stretched out his hand and waved it back and forth above the spectrum, the seven-colored light casting onto his palm, giving a vaguely warm feeling.
“Is this a phenomenon only produced by electric light? Or does it happen with all light?” Philip also eagerly chimed in.
