I Pioneered Scientific Magic

Lynn... the Star of Magic?

Ivina was quite surprised. In the City of Fire Oil, she had heard this name countless times. It seemed that all the changes in the magical world could be related to him.

Now it was even more exaggerated. This Star of Magic dared to say that he had completely solved the famine problem.

For a while, Ivina couldn't determine whether this was false information released by the council or if it was true.

Susan and the others also wore expressions of disbelief.

"If you're interested, why don't you go and see for yourselves..." Pearson nodded towards the direction of the train station, teasingly. "The trains are running today!"

Ivina left the granary in a daze, walking towards the cathedral with Susan and others who shared her confusion—it was also the direction of the train station.

The place was already packed with people, tens of thousands of citizens gathered in the square in front of the station, tiptoeing and craning their necks to get a glimpse inside.

Ivina was equally curious, wanting to go inside and see. Thanks to the wizard badge hanging from her chest, the citizens spontaneously made way for her along the road.

Soon, several huge silver-white trains appeared before the girl!

They stood over three meters tall, stretching seventy meters long, resembling giant serpents coiled within the city...

The streamlined bodies made every wizard and townsfolk who saw them for the first time exclaim from the depths of their hearts.

What exquisite creations...

But what shocked Ivina even more was the mountainous pile of crates inside the train station, her sharp eyes could clearly see that the unsealed boxes contained nothing but loaves of bread and a pure white powder.

Not recognizing starch, Ivina mistook it for wheat flour ground from wheat.

The first ten carriages were already packed to the brim. Laborers in the station were still diligently transporting more crates onto the rear carriages.

The wizards actually had so much food!

Everything Ivina saw completely exceeded her expectations.

The surrounding noisy discussions and exclamations kept ringing in Ivina's ears. Some were astonished by the wizards' new creations, while others were hysterically crying out at the mountainous piles of bread and grain.

But more voices were praising the new invention of the Star of Magic, discussing how to use magic to make bread...

Ivina furrowed her brow, almost doubting whether she had misheard. Using magic to create bread out of thin air? What a joke.

Even the Holy Pope couldn't do this, perhaps only the Goddess of the Moon could perform such a miraculous feat.

"Sir, may I have a look at this issue of the Magic Daily?" Ivina couldn't help but ask.

The male wizard who was interrupted in his discussion turned his head with some displeasure, but upon seeing the girl's remarkable appearance, he immediately adopted a gentle attitude and generously said, "Of course, it's yours. I've already finished reading it anyway."

Thanking him politely, Ivina took a glance and was immediately stunned by the headline!

【Research and Analysis on Photosynthesis in Plants—On the Feasibility of 【Bread-Making Technique】】

And prominently signed was the Star of Magic, Lynn!

As for the thousands of words occupying the entire page below, Ivina couldn't understand them at all, but fortunately, the male wizard beside her kindly explained.

The first half of the paper explained how plants undergo photosynthesis, converting various elements into nutrients that can be absorbed by humans, while the latter half discussed how to replicate this process using magic.

Perhaps due to confidentiality, specific spell models were not provided, but the importance of three things was emphasized.

The simplest method to produce food only required water, carbon dioxide, and electricity!

"Master Lynn truly deserves to be called the Star of Magic, to come up with such a method to solve the food shortage problem," the male wizard praised earnestly.

Ivina also didn't expect that the wizards had actually used magic to create food!

She had attended chemistry classes and was well aware of what carbon dioxide was. It could be said that every person was a machine capable of mass-producing carbon dioxide, so there was no need to worry about the shortage of raw materials.

As for water, it went without saying that the kingdom was not lacking in it. Wizards could also control lightning, which meant that as long as they wanted, they could continuously produce a massive amount of food. The mountainous piles of crates in the station were evidence of this!

But the biggest reaction to this was not from Ivina, but from the nobles and merchants who had bought large quantities of food earlier!

They either collapsed on the ground in despair or screamed hysterically.

Everyone understood that once these trains unloaded the carriages filled with bread to the major cities of the kingdom, the wheat in their hands would instantly become worthless!

Even in the best-case scenario, their assets would inevitably shrink by hundreds of times!

One wealthy merchant even entertained the idea of blowing up these trains and burning all the piled-up bread.

But the presence of twenty airships, five fighter jets, and over fifty armored vehicles, with their dark muzzles, was enough to dispel any restless thoughts!

The desperate cries of the nobles and merchants did not evoke the slightest sympathy. Instead, they received mocking and disdainful glances, and many townsfolk were even cheering for the name of the Star of Magic, celebrating victory.

About five hundred meters away, Lynn, who had been the subject of discussion among the crowd, stood on the roof of a house, watching as the huge trains roared off into the distance!

The seven trains carried a total of six thousand tons of starch and bread, combined with the previous release of five thousand tons of provisions, enough to be the final straw that broke the camel's back!

"Inform Loude to begin collecting debts!" Lynn ordered.

"Yes, Dean Lynn!" Elok, who was standing beside him, admired as he spoke, then transmitted the electromagnetic wave signal to begin debt collection.

For nearly a month, using over a dozen merchant groups as fronts, the council had lent tens of millions of imperial gold coins to those wealthy merchants and nobles—money that was originally their savings used to buy grain!

In the end, the money circled back into their hands, along with the assets, estates, slaves, and even citizens of the other party!

Gambling was indeed dangerous... Lynn sighed inwardly. Once one went bankrupt, the outcome was the loss of everything, and the profits of hundreds of times were enough to drive people crazy, making them willingly increase their bets layer by layer, blocking all their exits in pursuit of a victory that didn't even exist...
