I Created Scientific Magic-Chapter 187 - 174: Doomsday Cultists

Aside from Philip and a few others, the security team, upon receiving the message, arrived at the scene at great speed, and it was August himself who led the team!

After checking the two attackers and recording the details, August ordered a few wizards to take them away for identity verification, to see if any clues could be found, then he turned to Lynn with concern and asked,

"Are you hurt, Lord Lynn? Do you need a magic potion master to come over?"

Lynn shook his head, indicating that he was not seriously harmed, and then heard August sigh and say, "That’s good, in fact, this is already the fourth attack in the past two days!"

"Before you, there were three councilors who were attacked, and you are the only one who has survived."

Lynn paused for a moment, not expecting the situation to be so serious. Attacking several councilors outright was akin to shredding the very face of Wizard Land on the ground!

"Lord Lynn, you should have tried to keep a live one, if we could have interrogated something out of them, then we wouldn’t be so passive now," Luo’er couldn’t help but interject.

Over these two days, the entire security team had been frantic. Attack incidents in Greenrill City had occurred one after another, and the victims were extremely important councilors. One could imagine the pressure they were under. August, serving as the acting head of the council, had even faced quite a bit of criticism.

To avoid causing widespread panic, the council immediately sealed off the news and, based on the common characteristics of the attackers’ targets, laid ambush near the residences of several councilors proficient in elemental magic. Unexpectedly, this time the target of the attack was Lynn, located in another district of the city.

"You can’t say that, Luo’er. Such a sudden assault is not like an ordinary battle. Even the most powerful wizard can be negligent at times, and being able to survive is already great fortune," August shook his head, countering Luo’er’s words, and then spoke again. Explore new worlds at novelbuddy

"However, Lord Lynn, please recount the events in detail, perhaps we can uncover some important clues."

"About fifteen minutes ago, I was sitting in the seat right there, working on the spell model for a new magic, when I suddenly saw a dagger thrusting towards my neck..." Lynn gave a rough account of what happened before and after the attack, only making certain adjustments and deliberately omitting the part about using spiritual magic to search his memory.

After listening to the whole account of the attack, the wizards present couldn’t help but shiver. Previously, they only knew that Lynn had been attacked, but they hadn’t realized the process was so perilous.

Such an unanticipated assault was impossible to guard against, especially when the attacker possessed a weapon capable of instantly breaking a "Mage Shield." No wonder three councilors had inexplicably died in their homes.

Luo’er tried to put himself in Lynn’s shoes and broke out in a cold sweat. If he had been the one attacked, he’d likely be a corpse by now.

However, the attackers had clearly chosen the wrong target this time. This young male wizard from the Mist Sea was not so easy to handle, a fact Luo’er had learned firsthand back in Yiyeta Harbor.

"Master August, do you know what that magic is that can evade sight?" Lynn curiously asked.

"It’s probably Polarization Magic or a shadow-based spell... Apart from that, a few spiritual magics can also create illusions," August said thoughtfully. "There aren’t many who can use these magics, it’s an important clue."

"Do you have any suspects in mind?" Lynn continued his line of questioning. Three councilors had died in the space of two days, surely the security team must have found out something?

Lynn, having unwittingly experienced an attack, although unharmed, still felt unnerved. If he had been even a moment slower in his reaction, the outcome might have been unpredictable.

"These attackers are likely related to the doomsday cult that has recently become active," August said gravely, "The councilors who were attacked were all outstanding in the elemental field, third-circle wizards who had proposed many unique insights."

"From the intelligence gathered by the security team, it seems the wizards of the doomsday cult believe that the elements themselves have life and consciousness, and they hope that all wizards give up their study, research, and exploration of the elements. They believe this is what will bring about the apocalypse," August continued.

Lynn was astonished. Had these wizards gone mad? Elemental science is the first major discipline of magic, and a large portion of witchcraft models are related to it. This was nothing short of self-sabotage.

"No, if they’re targeting wizards proficient in elemental science, then why would they be after me?" Lynn spoke out in confusion, as he hadn’t made any elemental-related statements recently.

"Professor, could it be because your universal gravitation theory conflicts with their doomsday rhetoric?" Lydia tentatively said, speaking softly.

Lynn quickly realized this point, too. He had heard from Lydia before that the so-called planetary alignments and moon’s fall in the doomsday prophecies could be refuted by gravitational theory.

In a way, he was pointing out errors in their doomsday narrative, undermining the very foundation the doomsday cult was built upon.

Consequently, they indeed had a reason to attack him.

"Since you’ve always suspected this matter is related to the doomsday cult, why haven’t you arrested some cultists for interrogation?" Lynn asked again. These wizards were openly preaching apocalypse, practically wearing a "troublemaker" label on their faces.

It was only after August explained that Lynn understood he was approaching the problem with his past life’s way of thinking.

Official wizards in Greenrill City were a privileged class, and without solid evidence of lawbreaking, the council would face tremendous public pressure for arbitrarily arresting and investigating an official wizard.

Not to mention that many people believed in doomsday prophecies and the spirit of elements, potentially involving hundreds of wizards. Rash actions might cause even greater chaos.

"But now we can’t afford to worry about that anymore," August said pensively. "I’ve already dispatched several security teams to follow and investigate those wizards spreading doomsday rhetoric, hoping to find some key evidence."

Lynn nodded, the complexity of the situation had exceeded his expectations, and if not handled carefully, it could potentially lead to an upheaval affecting the entire Greenrill City.

"This is essentially all the information I know. The matter is far from over, and in the coming days, you must be very cautious and best not to act alone." August gave a serious reminder, leaving behind several members of the security team to strengthen the manor’s defenses, and then he left with the bodies of the two attackers in a hurry, returning to the Sky Realm, ready to see if he could find any new clues.
