Lynn hadn’t advanced to a great wizard, which sowhat disappointed Philip, but he quickly adjusted his feelings. After all, with Lynn’s talent, completion of advancent was only a matter of ti.
Moreover, these days, with the spread of the law of universal gravitation, the Yiyeta school could truly be said to have gained fa. In just two days, he received hundreds of invitations to banquets and academic seminars, including so from top-tier institutions.
Unfortunately, Lynn hardly left his door, using his focus on researching new magic as a reason to postpone all offers.
"Do you know what people outside are calling you now?" Philip asked jokingly.
Lynn shook his head; he hadn’t stepped out in days and had no interest in these matters.
"The Twin Stars of Greenrill!" Philip exclaid in awe.

The so-called Twin Stars, of course, referred to another person: August — the most talented wizard in the history of Wizard Land.
He encountered magic at twelve, beca an official wizard at sixteen, and advanced to a great wizard at twenty-four, a speed so fast, it was considered miraculous, earning him the title of the Star of Magic.
This ant that, in the eyes of most, Lynn had risen to a status equal to that of August.
Philip looked around and, seeing no outsiders, lowered his voice to continue. "There are even many who believe that compared to Master August, you are the most glorious Star of Magic!"
Johnny, Ailoke, and Pearce all looked at the professor with admiration.
Lynn frowned. Such flattery was undesirable, and he wondered if soone was deliberately allowing the spread of such news.
While they were talking, a knock on the door followed.
"Professor, soone is looking for you outside." The door to the training ground opened a crack, and Lydia’s head popped in, chirping, "It’s Master August!"
The people present were stunned for a mont; they had just been discussing this great wizard, and unexpectedly, he had co to find them.
Could it possibly be that he had co to cause trouble?
Lynn and Philip exchanged glances, but without any intention of sending him away, they requested Lydia to lead this Star of Magic to the parlor.
Three minutes later, Lynn, now changed, along with Philip, Johnny, and Ailoke arrived in the parlor.
"Welco to our humble abode, Master August!" Lynn stepped forward and greeted with a smile. "I just heard from Lydia that you have sothing important to discuss with ?"
"Yes." August nodded, his face also breaking into a slight smile, seemingly unaffected by the recent rumors.
August’s congenial attitude caused Philip to quietly breathe a sigh of relief.
Although Lynn was now renowned and had gained the appreciation of the legendary wizard Harrov, he wasn’t necessarily afraid of the other party, but as August was the Star of Magic with considerable influence in Wizard Land, it was best to avoid any conflict with him if possible.
"I’ve heard from Luo’er that you, Lynn, only crossed over from the Sekas Empire to Yiyeta Harbor three months ago," August adjusted his expression and asked again, "How do you view the developnt of Wizard Land during this ti?"
"Overall, the academic atmosphere here is quite impressive, and in many respects, it is far better than the Sekas Empire," Lynn mused for a mont, searching his mories from the original owner of his body, and spoke with conviction.
If compared to Earth in his previous life, Wizard Land was undoubtedly still in a barbaric region, but if compared with the Sekas Empire, where science, culture, and living standards were still at the end of the Middle Ages, it was much more advanced!
"Beyond the Mist Sea, is it really as ruined as the rumors say?" Luo’er asked curiously from the side.
"It’s not that bad, at least the nobles and clergy live in castles and luxurious estates," Lynn explained with a hint of mockery, Divine Arts were not inferior to magic, but only a very few could enjoy such privileges.
"By the way, Master August, why do you suddenly ask this?" Lynn asked, puzzled.
"It seems you are not aware of the recent trends in Wizard Land," August shook his head and began to explain.
Because of the theories Lynn proposed at the seminar and his actions in asuring the circumference of the planet, many of the self-contained conservative wizards had begun to lean toward exploring the world beyond Wizard Land, and the previously disadvantaged progressives had unusually gained the upper hand.
The council was certainly having a headache over this matter.
"Yiyeta Harbor is the most important port leading to the Mist Sea, so your decision is very important," August said solemnly, which was the purpose of his visit.
Upon hearing this, Lynn pondered for a mont and did not respond imdiately. "So... are you here representing the council this ti?"
"No, rely a personal inquiry," August shook his head and then spoke candidly, "Personally, I support the idea of opening up Wizard Land."
Although Wizard Land was a vast island capable of accommodating more than six hundred thousand people, as the number of wizards greatly increased, each person’s share of resources decreased, and internal conflicts and competition intensively grew.
Luo’er also looked at Lynn with anticipation, as a young and talented male wizard, he naturally belonged to the progressive camp, believing that the world should be ruled by wizards like them.
To confine themselves within the small Wizard Land was undoubtedly an act of cowardice and timidity.
Luo’er believed that if Lynn and his teacher August stood on the sa front, they could potentially influence the final decision of the council.
"What do you really know about the Church, our enemy?" Lynn suddenly asked.
Luo’er paused, then spoke sowhat resentfully, "Wizard Land has been established and developed for hundreds of years, we’ve invented countless novel magics, enough to freeze the seas, flatten mountains, and even craft many indestructible golems, strong enough to defeat all enemies!"
August, interested, countered, "What do you think? Lynn, since you co from beyond the Mist Sea, you should know better than all of us."
"Unfortunately, my knowledge of the Church is also limited; usually, the highest-ranking figure I’ve co into contact with is the bishop, which is roughly equivalent to a formal wizard..." Lynn shook his head, then without waiting for Luo’er to speak impatiently, he continued.
"But I think the chairn of the council might be more aware of what kind of opponent we need to face."
