I Created Scientific Magic-Chapter 160 - 147: The First Meeting with the Secret Magic Society (Please Subscribe)
Harrov shook his head as he watched Trisha leave in a daze.
His intention in taking her as an apprentice had been kindly meant, yet he had not anticipated it would only awaken her vanity.
Harrov could only hope that she would rediscover her original purpose after losing all her current glory; otherwise, another fine academic talent was on the verge of being lost.
"Come out, Aurora, your Polarization Magic can’t fool me," Harrov suddenly turned his head to look at a spot not far from him, and said with a frown.
Upon his words, a figure appeared out of thin air where there had been nothing before.
She was a witch who looked to be about twenty-six or twenty-seven, dressed in a bright red gown with a pointed hat, her long, curled eyelashes trembling slightly. Having been exposed by Harrov, she did not seem flustered but instead curled her lips into a charming smile.
"I’m quite curious, where did it go wrong this time?" the witch named Aurora asked nonchalantly as she pulled out a chair and sat down, tapping her cheek with her forefinger, a look of puzzlement on her face.
"Guess for yourself," Harrov said irritably.
He could just about tolerate her sneaking into his manor, but what he found unbearable was that despite being older than him, she insisted on acting younger, which was utterly off-putting.
Nevertheless, Harrov didn’t dwell on these trifles and asked directly, "You were at this morning’s conference, weren’t you?"
"Indeed, massive stars attract smaller ones with their gravity to form a complete star orbit. I must say, the theory is quite intriguing," Aurora commented playfully, leaning back in her chair with her legs crossed.
"I’m surprised that you were present and yet managed to restrain yourself from disputing their arguments," Harrov asked with some astonishment.
Aurora was the founder of the entire Prophecy School, and the star map that circulated in Wizard Land was also the work of her hands.
"According to that young wizard’s statement, the two star maps are merely based on different references. The Prophecy School studies the trajectory of one’s own fate, not the issues of the birth and death of stars. So my prophecy doctrine is not flawed," Aurora said, her face breaking into a sly smile.
Harrov pursed his lips. He had heard about her astrology theories; the Prophecy School believed that the outcome of everything is predestined from its inception, and insights about fate could be found from the trajectories of the stars.
Harrov, of course, scoffed at the notion. He did not believe in the so-called destiny and prophecy. Compared to the vast stars and the infinite universe, wizards were as insignificant as dust and not worth mentioning.
How could the movements of stars be linked to the fate of wizards? The idea was utterly absurd.
"So what new insights have you gained over these past days?" Harrov asked with a sneer.
"The main star is obscured; the Brown Star hangs high in the sky. These are omens of chaos and disaster, but they may also herald the dawn of new hope," Aurora said seriously, pondering. "We should probably keep an eye on those apocalyptic cult wizards in the near future."
"Are you talking about those fools who have burnt out their brains studying the elements, believing that the world is heading towards its end?" Harrov said disdainfully. Just like this so-called prophecy, he did not think the group of mad wizards could cause much trouble.
"Let’s be honest, following me all the way here, what exactly do you want to do?" Harrov asked impatiently.
"Naturally, it’s for the one and only ring that allows communication with the higher-ups of the Secret Magic Society," Aurora was also very interested in this wizard organization.
"Didn’t you hear what was said before? The Secret Magic Society is looking for a scholar of great wisdom to discuss the mysteries of cosmic truth. Giving me the ring was undoubtedly the most appropriate choice," Harrov said quite smugly.
"Regarding this matter, I’ll consider mentioning it to the other councilors, to let them hear what you’ve said," Aurora commented with amusement.
Harrov’s face twitched involuntarily.
Displeased with Aurora stubbornly staying here, Harrov didn’t have the power to send her away. Being a legendary wizard himself, he decided to avoid distress by not looking at Aurora and, right in front of her, put on the ring engraved with the Eye of All-Knowing.
Also, it was about time by his calculations. Harrov glanced at the magic clock and, when it struck twelve, he infused magic power into the ring to activate it.
Accompanied by a burst of inexplicable glimmer, Harrov immediately sensed his perspective splitting apart, with an immensely vast expanse of darkness before him.
No, Harrov quickly realized that this was not merely darkness because the boundless void twinkled with countless brilliant stars, the strongest light coming from beneath his feet!
Looking down, Harrov’s pupils dilated abruptly, because an unimaginably large celestial body was hurtling rapidly towards him.
The source of this c𝓸ntent is freewebnøvel.coɱ.
No matter how extensive Harrov’s knowledge was, he was still so astounded that he was lost for words. What enormity was this being, at this moment he seemed like an ant looking up at a towering peak, and all the magic he knew seemed trivial in front of such colossal magnitude.
An indescribable fear and sense of powerlessness arose from within. It had been a long time since Harrov, now a legendary wizard, had felt such emotions.
Fortunately, before the celestial body came too close, it changed direction and swept straight past in front of him, its vast size covering everything in sight. Harrov broke out into a cold sweat, but soon noticed that the body was moving along an orbit.
It was a true Star Map, several huge planets of different colors revolving around a gigantic red-brown fireball, moving in a continual rotation as if surrounding it in homage.
Unlike the planetary orbits he simulated with magic power in his manor, these were three-dimensional and dynamic, only the process seemed sped up hundreds of times, allowing him to directly observe the spectacle of planets cycling back and forth along an invisible track.
Is this self-rotation and revolution?
Harrov immediately recalled the two concepts Lynn mentioned at the symposium, but to see them so directly was a first-time experience!
The most eye-catching was undoubtedly the star at the center of the gravitational orbit, dazzling and brilliant, its immense heat felt distinctly even from afar, looking like a giant, blazing fireball, the light of hope in the dark void.
Harrov watched it mesmerized; during his study of celestial bodies, what fascinated him the most was the Sun, the vacuum of space should be empty, yet where did its energy come from, and how could it persistently transmit light...
