I Pioneered Scientific Magic

In the chaotic space, only five people remained.

Among them, three men and two women, including himself. Lynn glanced around, hesitating to start the conversation due to the lack of information.

The witch beside him couldn't contain herself any longer and directly asked, "Nos, I've managed to get the High-grade Magic Crystal Cannon you wanted. It took a lot of effort. Now, can you tell us what you need these things for?"

High-grade Magic Crystal Cannon? Lynn was immediately surprised. This was a secret of the Alchemy Guild. Rumor had it that with sufficient magical power supply, each shot could possess power close to fourth-tier magic.

"I need this for going to the Misty Sea and hunting the 'Eye of Death'..." said Nos, the male witch, with a sinister smile.

The Eye of Death? The Great Whirlpool?

Lynn looked bewildered, while the others seemed to understand immediately. One of the male witches spoke in disbelief, "Are you out of your mind?"

The rest couldn't help but retort, "Nos, if you want to go to your death, don't drag us into it. Even a Grand Wizard wouldn't dare claim to have a chance against such a monster..."

Of course, they all knew what Nos meant by 'Eye of Death.' It was an incredibly powerful magical creature within the Misty Sea, capable of manipulating water currents, devouring souls, and the source of the Great Whirlpool.

According to the information obtained from the Council of Magical Creatures Research Institute, there were approximately fifty 'Eyes of Death' in the Misty Sea, and with the legendary magic "Mist of Lost," they formed the most crucial defense against the Church's invasion.

Even a Grand Wizard wouldn't want to face such a creature on the open sea. Even if they won, it wouldn't matter since it could escape at any time.

Amidst the discussions, Lynn began to have some understanding of this magical creature called the 'Eye of Death.'

So, the Great Whirlpool in the Misty Sea was caused by a creature?

Lynn immediately remembered the powerful force he had felt when crossing the Misty Sea on a boat.

"Normally, it would be very difficult, but who says I'm going to fight it on the surface of the sea? We don't need to take a boat..." Nos's mouth curled into a sly smile as he shifted his gaze to Lynn.

"You plan to use a Sky Airship for long-range attacks?" Lynn instantly grasped the meaning behind Nos's words. This powerful magical creature might control water currents and affect souls, but it probably couldn't fly.

In other words, as long as they ascended to several hundred meters in altitude, the 'Eye of Death' would be powerless to affect them, only passively receiving the punishment of the Magic Crystal Cannon.

No wonder the "Bloodthorn Thorns" was willing to steal his airship blueprint at a high cost. This was indeed the simplest method to kill the 'Eye of Death'!

"Long-range attack? A fitting name, and it's quite appropriate!" Nos laughed smugly.

"I have a few more questions. First, how do we find the 'Eye of Death' in the Misty Sea and confirm its location? Second, the visibility in the mist is low; how do we aim when flying at high altitude? Third, what if it tries to escape?" Lynn inquired.

Upon hearing this, everyone in the room immediately turned their attention to Nos. These were all crucial points, and without the ability to address them, their efforts would be in vain.

In the midst of this chaotic space, only five individuals remained.

Among them were three men and two women, including himself. Lynn scanned the group but hesitated to take the lead in the conversation due to the lack of information.

The witch by his side couldn't hold back any longer and directly asked, "Nos, I've got my hands on the High-grade Magic Crystal Cannon you were looking for. It took quite an effort. Can you finally tell us what you need these for?"

High-grade Magic Crystal Cannon? Lynn was immediately surprised. This was an Alchemy Guild secret, rumored to possess power close to that of fourth-tier magic with sufficient magical power supply.

"I need these for our journey to the Misty Sea and hunting the 'Eye of Death'..." Nos, the male witch, said with a sinister smile.

The Eye of Death? The Great Whirlpool?

Lynn looked bewildered, but the others seemed to grasp the meaning right away. One of the male witches expressed disbelief, "Are you out of your mind?"

The rest couldn't help but object, "Nos, if you're planning to meet your death, don't drag us into it. Even a Grand Wizard wouldn't dare claim to have a chance against such a monster..."

They all knew what Nos meant by the 'Eye of Death.' It was an incredibly powerful magical creature within the Misty Sea, capable of manipulating water currents, devouring souls, and the source of the Great Whirlpool.

According to information from the Council of Magical Creatures Research Institute, there were approximately fifty 'Eyes of Death' in the Misty Sea. They, in conjunction with the legendary magic "Mist of Lost," formed the most crucial defense against the Church's invasion.

Even a Grand Wizard wouldn't want to face such a creature on the open sea. Even if they won, it wouldn't matter since it could escape at any time.

Upon hearing this, everyone in the room immediately turned their attention to Nos. These were all crucial points, and without the ability to address them, their efforts would be in vain.

"These questions are nothing to worry about. I have my ways!" Nos teased and didn't provide a direct answer. He had been preparing for this hunt for a year, originally planning to move the Magic Crystal Cannon onto an alchemical ship to face the 'Eye of Death' head-on.

However, a few days ago, a guest from the Wizard's Land had brought an airship, changing Nos's plans.

Seeing Nos's confidence, the others were intrigued.

"What will we gain from helping you?" one of the witches asked.

"A 'Eye of Death' corpse, worth at least thirty thousand magic coins. I only need enough blood, and the rest will be distributed according to your contributions!" Nos said without hesitation, then looked at Lynn.

"Ladek, you contributed part of the airship's blueprint and are the best among us in alchemy. Once we obtain the essence of the 'Eye of Death,' you will make it. Just hand over three bottles of 'Source of Magic,' and the rest will be your reward."

"If I'm not mistaken, a potion made from the essence of the 'Eye of Death' can potentially turn a person into an esper..." Nos's words made Lynn pause. The term "esper" wasn't unfamiliar to him.

In the Wizard's Land, it typically referred to those born with immense mental power.

For instance, the White Dove he had encountered, who could perform mysterious psychic wizardry even as an apprentice and even influence Archbishop Anluke.

Most others needed to advance to become official wizards before learning psychic magic. Even though Lynn had undergone a soul fusion, he was no exception. Back in the Sekast Empire, he had learned the casting method of "Soul Shriek" from the White Dove, but his version was much weaker.

Certainly, Nos's words weren't baseless. The infamous Dark Wizard Murk, despised by the entire Wizard's Land, became an esper by creating a potion from the essence of a succubus.

The power of the 'Eye of Death' would be even more formidable.

"As for you, Barbara, once this is done, I'll give you four thousand magic coins as payment for purchasing the High-grade Magic Crystal Cannon!" Nos said.

A smile appeared on Barbara's face. Nos's generosity was beyond imagination. The value of a High-grade Magic Crystal Cannon was around two thousand magic coins at most. It was only more expensive if it was hard to acquire, and the fact that he was willing to pay double the price was incredible.

Following that, Nos looked at the other two as well, making substantial promises. In this operation, he would tolerate no mistakes!

"The airship's construction and modifications will be completed in a few days. I assume you should all be available?" Nos gave them a stern look. His intention was quite clear: whether they had time or not, they must make time!

"How about we set it for the day after tomorrow? I have an important experiment to conduct during that time." Lynn volunteered, but the real reason was different. The reason he deliberately chose this date was that it happened to be a day off at Iyeta Academy!

Lynn had no intention of missing out on this so-called hunting operation. Nos and the others planned to create an airship using stolen blueprints to hunt a 'Eye of Death' and take the majority of the profits. It wouldn't be that easy.
