I Created Scientific Magic

Gazing at the mansion that had turned into ruins, Hattar’s heart was bleeding.

He knew beforehand this place would become a battlefield, but two days were too short a notice. It was simply impossible to move all those precious things away in time, let alone expect the entire mansion to be so thoroughly destroyed… nothing was left for himself…

The gold, silver, and all kinds of rare treasures stored in the mansion’s treasury were now reduced to rubble strewn across the ground…

Yet Hattar dared not harbor the slightest opinion. The several thousand guards who had earlier stormed into the mansion, along with the powerfully unrivaled Archbishop Anluoke, were obliterated in one strike. Such a Celestial Phenomenon, wielding the power of thunder, could only be described as terrifying…

Previously, he had heard how Rickman’s leading army had turned into ashes amid the firestorm from the sky, which, despite being frightening, didn’t provide him with a concrete concept.

Now, Hattar was experiencing this indescribable sense of helplessness very directly.

The power of legendary magic surpasses all mundane affairs!

Whether it was the thousands of crossbowmen he had carefully trained or those Bloodline Knights he had secretly nourished, in the face of such power, they all seemed particularly ridiculous…

Hattar could only silently console himself that the stronger these Wizards were, the better they could resist the attacks from the Empire and the Church.

They had to rely on the control of the King and nobility over the grassroots to suppress the rising tide of rebellion among the vast believers.

And he was about to become the King himself. At that time, the royal palace would be his residence, its treasury his treasury. Compared to what he was about to acquire, what he lost was insignificant…

Without the guidance of the Alchemy Array, the man-made storm quickly ceased.

However, the strong currents and scorching heat still pervaded the entire rubble, forming an electromagnetic area that ordinary people simply couldn’t approach…

“Do you think Anluoke is dead?” Lynn gazed at the ravaged mansion before him and suddenly asked.

“With magic like that, I doubt anyone could have survived…” Anthony spoke earnestly, then chuckled. “I guess the Cardinal is either charred or has turned into ash, right?”

“That’s not necessarily the case,” Lynn shook his head.

Although Anthony’s level as a Wizard was much higher than his, his experience might not be as extensive. After all, he had fought with August, a Star of Wizardry who had breached the Archwizard’s realm, within Greenrill City.

The opponent could turn the entire Magic City into his domain; no matter the injury, he could heal rapidly by drawing power, and even if beaten to near death, he could recover in a matter of seconds. So, if it was August in the mansion just now, he might actually have a chance to survive…

The power of the thunder unleashed by the Celestial Phenomenon was terrifying, but after all, it was spread across the entire mansion, perhaps a bit too dispersed!

“Let’s go, let’s head down and take a look!” Lynn raised his hand, and the rubble around the tower immediately began to tremble, as if guided by some force, rising and stacking itself to form a long ramp.

Anthony turned to look at the group of nobles who were scared stiff, sitting on the ground with their facial muscles twitching from convulsions, still not recovered from the shock of the legendary magic’s might, and used magic to bring them along.@@novelbin@@

Although these people lacked courage and ability, for now, they still needed to be relied upon to control and quell the rebellion throughout the kingdom…

At this moment, the outskirts of the mansion were already controlled by Ham and others who, leading the musketeers, had hurried to the scene.

As for the thousands of royal guards originally surrounding the area to prevent people from escaping, they were all terrified by the thunderbolts that fell from the sky, and they surrendered en masse without the slightest resistance.

Kodi was no exception, stunned and dazed for quite some time before he regained his senses, his face a ghastly pale. He understood that everything was ruined.

All of them had placed the wrong bet, Anluoke was dead, along with the majority of the elite forces of the capital…

In his heart, Kodi kept blaming Lord William for not heeding his advice, for insisting on breaking with these wizards, who looked tough to deal with, at a glance.

Now it was too late for anything, Kodi could imagine that those wizards would definitely use the most terrifying magic on him, since it was he who had brought Anluoke and the others here.

He only hoped for a swift death…

However, to Kodi’s surprise, Lynn actually walked up to him with a smile, patted him on the shoulder, and said with satisfaction, “Well done, Kodi. If it weren’t for you, the plan couldn’t have gone so smoothly…”

Uh… huh! Ah?

Kodi’s expression instantly shifted from horror to confusion, and then to bewilderment, almost doubting whether he had heard wrong.

“Lord Lynn, what… what exactly is going on?” Kodi stammered as he asked.

“Actually, William has been my man all along,” Lynn replied with a chuckle.

After leading Anluoke and the others here, Kodi had served his purpose, but Lynn had no intention of discarding him after crossing the river.

Although what Kodi did was detrimental to him, he was indeed acting on William’s orders—essentially following Lynn’s plan.

He had even advised William several times not to rashly oppose them, and this was why Lynn was willing to spare his life.

Kodi stood still in shock for a long time before he suddenly realized, was Lord William actually playing him?

Bringing Anluoke and the others into this residence wasn’t to capture these wizards, but to lead them into a trap…

“Lord Lynn, what should we do with these surrendered royal guards, kill them all?” At this moment, Ham approached cautiously and asked.

“No, they were merely bewitched by Anluoke. That doesn’t mean they have betrayed the kingdom…” Hattar hurriedly interjected and then revealed his identity as the crown prince, swiftly subduing the terrified royal guards.

It’s true that Basel’s royal guards were indeed the most elite and loyal legion, but it was wishful thinking to assume that every single one of them would remain uncompromisingly loyal unto death.

As Hattar was gaining control of the royal guards, Lynn instructed Ham to surround the residence with men and fire a gun to the heavens as a signal if anything amiss happened; they would rush over quickly.

Hattar’s residence was vast, and even using magic to thoroughly clean these areas would take at least half a day’s work. Looking for Anluoke, who might be crushed into pieces or simply turned to ashes, was undoubtedly an extremely difficult task.

Yet they had even more important matters to attend to now. If they let King Basel escape, all their efforts would have been in vain, and even Hattar’s ascendancy to the throne wouldn’t suffice to convince the crowd.
