Chapter 326: The Imperial Griffin Knights Who Crossed the Border!
After the completion of the light-speed measurement experiment, this year's academic symposium has finally come to an end, but the method of using gears to measure the distance is still talked about.
This was followed by an award ceremony held in the Sky Realm, where the nominees Fra, Glenn and Yolande all received the Order of the Morning Star.
Lynn also won a Silver Moon Medal again with this light-speed measurement experiment!
It's just that for this award ceremony, the wizards are very differentiated.
Most wizards think that Lynn's proposed beam measurement method can only be described as a wizard!
Although this experiment alone is far from meeting the requirements for obtaining the Silver Moon Medal, it is not a big deal to be a little more tolerant of geniuses.
Not to mention that the other party has even taken the Corona Medal, so as not to make people jealous.
However, there are also some wizards who have complained about the magic star receiving the Silver Moon Medal, although Lynn's experiment is very exciting, even amazing, but the end result is only to measure the speed of the light.
This type of medal is usually awarded only to those who have made a significant contribution to the Wizarding Lands, developed legendary magic, or made an important addition to the existing magic system.
In their opinion, measuring the speed of light obviously does not correspond to either one, and it can be said that the council is off to a bad start this time......
As the center of the torrent, Lynn did not focus on gaining praise and refuting slander, and continued to study the basic elements, and was occasionally pulled out by Raphael and others, and got acquainted with the great wizards who were stranded in the wizarding city.
The communication between the great wizards, Lynn did not refuse, these people are the best among the wizards, many of them have won the Order of the Morning Star and even the Silver Moon Medal many times, in a sense, they are Newton and Einstein in the other world, and they are also the backbone of the development of magic.
On the third day after the seminar, all the councillors who were stranded in Greenriel received an invitation from the council, and Lynn was no exception, knowing that the purpose of the meeting was mostly to discuss the next major invasion of the Holy See......
However, just before Lynn went out, Darren, a halfling who should be far away in Iyeta at this moment, ran over in a panic.
"Lord Dean, it's not good, it's not good!"
"What's wrong? Darren? Lynn frowned, already having a guess in her mind.
"It's information from the kingdom of Hadratta...... Just yesterday morning, the armies of those empires suddenly crossed the border! Darren gasped and handed over a sealed letter.
It was a lot faster than he expected...... Lynn groaned and opened the envelope directly, and after reading it, his expression suddenly became very solemn.
……
A day ago, on the border of the [Hadratta] Kingdom, two huge airships were floating in the air at an altitude of thousands of meters for routine patrols.
As an honorable airship pilot, Hammy has dreamed of flying in the sky as freely as a bird since he was a child.
It's just that he has no magical talent, and he knows very well that it is an unrealistic fantasy, a hoe and a piece of arable land are the future he can foresee, and if he is lucky, he may be able to buy a camel beast, so that he can save some effort when farming.
But since the new Dean arrived in Iyeta two years ago, everything has changed!
Hami put down his hoe and joined the newly opened glass workshop, where he could earn half a year's salary in a month, and then heard that the Dean planned to recruit some civilians and train them to become pilots of airships.
Having received the news, Hami couldn't believe his ears, for in his opinion, these airships, which were larger than a house but could rise into the sky, were the greatest magical creations of wizards.
It would be a great gift to be able to allow them to spend money to experience it.
Can they, civilians who don't know magic, control such magical creations?
However, confusion is confusion, and Hami quit his job in the workshop as soon as possible to join the driver's training.
In addition to figuring out how to control this behemoth and understanding an alchemy instrument that magically points in the direction of north and south forever, you also need to learn arithmetic and Olympiad knowledge.
For example, how to estimate the distance between the airship and the target with suitable references and some 'simple' formulas, and this is only the most basic reconnaissance subject.
Poor Hami has been hoeing the ground for most of his life, and his learning is naturally dizzy, and according to some gossip, this kind of thing called the Olympiad is difficult even for some wizards......
These efforts have apparently paid him a handsome reward, from ten silver coins to twenty a month, and he doesn't have to work day and night in the factory, which makes his dream come true in another way!
So when he heard that Dean Lynn was going to select some airship pilots to carry out dangerous missions, Hami chose to participate without hesitation.
Half of it is to repay the dean's kindness, and the other part is because during the mission, the reward is doubled, and if they are accidentally sacrificed, their family will receive a pension of ten magic gold coins, and they will also receive the best care in the future, and can even go to a civilian school for free.
Hami and the rest of the pilots undoubtedly came to the mission with a mortal mentality, but after wandering around the borders of the kingdom for more than a month, their tense minds gradually relaxed, and they even wondered if what the wizard said was too exaggerated.
They are now in the air at a height of thousands of meters, and they only need to see the Imperial army crossing the border from a distance, use the telescope to spy on the information, and then return to Iyeta to report, what danger can there be......
However, in the past month, the patrol back and forth in the same area has made Hammy feel bored, although he likes the feeling of flying in the sky, but he is always in one place, and after flying for a long time, it has become a little tired.
In the back of his mind, Hami imagined that he would be able to fly to the other side of the world to see it......
"Wait, Hammy, what do you see over there?" The deputy next to him suddenly shouted as if he had discovered something.
Hami immediately turned his head to look over, and in the distance, there seemed to be a gilded golden cloud floating towards them.
How do you look so strange......
Hami used the telescope set up on the airship to observe, and then his pupils constricted, this was not a cloud, but a large group of monsters with an eagle-like head and a fire lion-like back body, the bright golden eagle feathers showed a gilded golden halo in the sunlight, and it looked like a cloud was moving from a distance......
That's the griffons, the griffon knights of the Empire!
