Bab 166: 166 - Award
Sunday morning, Greenville, the headquarters of the Iyeta Academy.
Several carriages driven by fire lions were parked steadily in front of the mansion's gates. The fluttering banners displayed an all-seeing eye symbol, which was well-known in the wizard city, as it was the emblem of the Society of Mystical Arts!
"Professor Lynn, we better hurry with our actions, or we might be late!" Phillip had been waiting by the gate, urging Lynn from a distance.
Accompanied by Jenny, Elok, and other apprentices, Lynn had donned a new robe of gold and red, personally crafted by a master alchemist. The robe was enchanted with three spells: Dust Repulsion, Medium Elemental Resistance, and Nature's Blessing, providing protection and enhancing the wearer's physical abilities.
Of course, this came at a high cost. The robe, along with the carriages, set him back a hefty one thousand magic gold coins, leaving Lynn feeling a pang of regret.
When added to the four thousand gold coins spent on the mansion, it was as if he had returned to square one in one night. But, as per Phillip's perspective, he was now a person of status, and this occasion required some extravagance!
Thankfully, Lynn remembered that Darren and his team had already begun producing the first batch of mirrors, ensuring a steady source of income. This thought helped ease Lynn's financial concerns.
Riding in the carriages driven by fire lions, the group quickly arrived at the Sun Crown Tower.
The Wizard Council, the governing body of the entire wizard world, was located here.
Lynn gazed up at the massive Sky Mirror atop the tower – the core of the Wizard Council. Only council members with proper credentials were allowed inside.
The annual medal award ceremony was held inside the Sky Mirror.
At this moment, the square in front of the tower was already crowded with thousands of people. It seemed like the entire wizard community in Greenville had gathered, not wanting to miss this grand ceremony, which happened only once every hundred years.
As Lynn stepped down from the carriage, the enthusiastic wizards surrounding the square came forward, offering their congratulations. Some tried to curry favor with the rising magical star, showering him with flattery and compliments.
Lynn responded casually, not letting the adulation affect him. Meanwhile, the Iyeta Academy's wizards, such as Phillip, Kevin, and Theodore, were immersed in the praise and flattery, even attracting the attention of scholars and senior wizards who approached them.
Phillip couldn't help but feel that his decision to have Lynn lead the Iyeta Academy was undoubtedly a wise one.
"Congratulations, Lord Lynn. You are the first three-ring wizard ever to receive such an honor. This will be recorded in the annals of magical history," Raphael said, smiling as he guided them.
"Thank you for your praise, Master Raphael," Lynn responded and followed him as they ascended the Crown of the Sun Tower.
At the entrance, two guards bowed slightly as Lynn's group approached. The interior of the tower had been lavishly designed, resembling a miniature palace. Countless alabaster pillars supported the domed ceiling, which sparkled in the light of magical lamps. The marble floor gleamed, reflecting a translucent radiance. The walls were covered in intricate alchemical runes, and in the center stood a winding staircase leading to the tower's pinnacle.
"The Council is considering naming our planet, no, our star. We've discussed it for a long time and couldn't decide. In the end, we've decided to let you, the founder of Celestial Studies, choose the name!" Raphael said with a grin as he walked toward the Sky Mirror at the tower's top.
Naming the planet? Phillip and the others were amazed. This was an honor equal to receiving a medal.
Lynn was equally surprised that the Council entrusted such an important task to him. It was his first time naming a planet, especially one as significant and life-filled as theirs.
Should it be called Earth? Or perhaps Blue Star? Lynn contemplated these options for a moment but ultimately shook his head. "Let's call it the Eternal Star."
"The Eternal Star?" Raphael pondered for a moment and nodded. "May it stand in the endless cosmos, eternally undying."
During their conversation, the magically enhanced stairs swiftly brought them to the top floor, the Sky Mirror.
This place served as the hub of the entire wizard world and the venue for significant meetings. Magic permeated every aspect, and the concentration of magical energy exceeded any place Lynn had visited before.
Raphael led them to the area, and their entrance drew countless gazes. Lynn's gaze shifted to the high platform of the council, where five chairs were placed – the seats of the legendary wizards and the council president.
Apart from Harof, whom he was very familiar with, two other council presidents had arrived.
One was a frail, white-haired elder – the legendary alchemist, Magic Artisan Victor! The other was a strikingly beautiful woman in a vivid red gown, a founder of the Divination School – the Witch Aurora!
Lynn had gathered quite a bit of information in recent days and recognized Aurora as the founder of the Divination School. He hadn't forgotten the heated debate where he had humiliated Divination School wizards, which was equivalent to a slap in the face.
Lynn could only hope that Aurora wasn't one to hold grudges.
As for the remaining two empty seats, they remained unoccupied.
It was nearing 9:00 a.m., the scheduled start time for the medal ceremony, but the wizards in the Sky Mirror remained motionless, as if they were waiting for something.
"I heard that the legendary wizard of the Morphology School, Lord Fayz, with the power of the Giant Dragon, will also attend the ceremony. Perhaps he's running late," Raphael explained in a low voice.
"And the other legendary figure?" Lynn asked curiously.
"Lord Altok, the Elemental Master, might not be in a suitable condition to attend such a grand event," Raphael replied, subtly explaining the unusual behavior of the Elementalist wizard.
There were rumors within the wizarding world that this legendary wizard had encountered a terrifying creature known as the Elemental Ghosts while researching microelements. It had severely affected his mental state, making his behavior somewhat unconventional.
