Chapter 326: The Imperial Griffin Knights Cross the Border!

Following the completion of the experiment on light speed measurement, this year's academic symposium finally drew to a close. However, the method of using gears for distance measurement continued to captivate the attendees.

Next on the agenda was the award ceremony. Flora, Glenn, and Yoland, all nominated, smoothly received the Morning Star Medals.

Lynn, too, secured a Silver Moon Medal once again thanks to the recent experiment on light speed calculation!

However, concerning this award ceremony, the wizards' opinions were sharply divided.

Most wizards believed that Lynn's proposal of the beam measurement method could only be described as genius! Although this single experiment hadn't quite met the criteria for earning the Silver Moon Medal, showing some leniency toward a prodigy wasn't a big deal.

Especially considering that this individual had previously received even the Crown Medal, there was no need for envy.

Yet, there were still some wizards who held reservations about the magical prodigy receiving the Silver Moon Medal. Despite the brilliance of Lynn's experiment, it ultimately only measured the speed of light.

And these medals were usually awarded to those who made outstanding contributions to the wizarding world, developed legendary magic, or significantly complemented the existing magical system.

In their view, measuring the speed of light obviously didn't match up to any of these criteria. One could say that the council had set a rather unfortunate precedent this time...

At the heart of the whirlwind, Lynn didn't dwell on gaining praise or countering criticisms, continuing the research on basic elements. Occasionally, they were pulled out by Raphael and others to socialize with the great wizards lingering within the Wizard City.

Lynn didn't refuse the interaction among the great wizards; these individuals were the vanguards of the wizarding world. Among them were those who had received the Morning Star Medal multiple times, even the Silver Moon Medal. In a sense, they were the Newtons and Einsteins of this otherworld, pivotal figures in advancing magical studies.

On the third day following the end of the academic symposium, all the parliamentarians staying within the city of Greeneral received an invitation from the council. Naturally, Lynn was no exception, well aware that the primary purpose of this meeting was likely to discuss how to respond to the Holy Church's imminent invasion...

However, just before Lynn was about to leave, Darren, who should have been in Iyeta, the land of Halflings, rushed over with a group of people in a fluster.

"Dean, something's wrong, something's happened!"

"What happened, Darren?" Lynn furrowed their brow, already forming a guess.

"It's intelligence from the Kingdom of Hadralata... Early yesterday morning, the Imperial troops suddenly crossed the border!" Darren gasped for breath and handed over a sealed letter.

This was much quicker than Lynn had anticipated... With a contemplative expression, Lynn immediately opened the envelope and, upon reading its contents, their expression turned notably serious.

One day earlier, at the border of the Kingdom of Hadralata, two massive airships were hovering at an altitude of a kilometer, conducting routine patrols. freeωebnovēl.c૦m

As a proud airship pilot, Hami had always dreamt of soaring through the skies just like the birds.

However, lacking magical talent, he was acutely aware that such dreams were impractical. His foreseeable future was merely a hoe and a patch of farmland. If lucky, perhaps he could buy a camelop, saving some effort while tilling the land.

But everything changed two years ago when the new dean arrived at Iyeta. Hami left his hoe and joined the newly established glass workshop, where a month's earnings equaled what he used to earn in half a year. Later, he heard that the dean intended to recruit commoners and train them to become pilots for the airships.

Hearing this news, Hami couldn't believe his ears. In his eyes, these airships, larger than a house and capable of soaring into the sky, were the greatest magical creations of the wizards. To have the opportunity to pay and experience a flight was already an immense gift.

Could these non-magical commoners really operate these magnificent magical creations?

Yet, despite his confusion, Hami immediately resigned from the workshop and joined the pilot training.

Apart from mastering how to operate this colossal machinery, understanding alchemical instruments perpetually indicating the north and south, they also needed to learn mathematics and arcane knowledge.

For instance, estimating the distance between the airship and its target using suitable references and some 'simple' formulas, a basic skill in reconnaissance.

Poor Hami, spending most of his life tilling the land, found himself dizzy-headed with these studies. According to some hearsay, even some wizardly folks found this thing called "arcane math" challenging...

These efforts evidently yielded rich rewards. His monthly earnings increased from ten silver coins to twenty, without the need for toiling day and night in the factory. His lifelong dream found realization in a different manner!

So, when he heard that Dean Lynn intended to select some airship pilots for dangerous missions, Hami unhesitatingly volunteered.

Partly out of gratitude to the dean and partly because during missions, the rewards doubled. In case of an unfortunate demise, their families would receive a generous ten magical gold coins as compensation, along with the promise of the best care, even free education in commoner schools.

Hami and the rest of the pilots undoubtedly undertook these tasks with a sense of inevitability. After spending over a month patrolling the kingdom's borders, their tense spirits gradually relaxed. They even began to wonder if the wizardly folks had exaggerated things a bit.

They were, after all, soaring thousands of meters in the sky. Spotting the Imperial troops crossing the border with a telescope and reporting back to Iyeta—that couldn't be dangerous...

During this month-long surveillance in the same area, Hami felt increasingly bored. Although he loved the feeling of flying, being stuck in one place for too long made even flying somewhat tedious.

Hami fantasized in his mind: if only he could fly to the other end of the world...

"Wait, Hami, what's that over there?" His assistant suddenly exclaimed as if discovering something.

Hami immediately turned to look, and in the distant sky, it seemed like a golden cloud was approaching them.

That looks peculiar...

Hami used the telescope installed on the airship to observe. His pupils contracted; it wasn't a cloud but a large group of creatures with eagle-like heads and lion-like hindquarters. The bright golden feathers, under the sunlight, appeared like a golden halo, resembling a moving cloud from afar...

They were Griffins, the Imperial Griffin Knights!
