I Created Scientific Magic

Chapter 10: This Is Blasphemy Against God!

Translator: Lonelytree

“Bishop Antioch, this is the place! I saw that Mage and the Hunters coming out of the house and fighting all the way here…”

A quarter of an hour later, in the Lower City District, a scavenger dressed in tattered clothes and covered in dirt hunched over as he looked at the priests of the Church in front of him. He carefully told them everything he had seen.

Antioch didn’t say anything. He lowered his head and looked at the scorched marks on the ground. The red blood had turned dark red after being evaporated by the high temperature. The ground that had been turned up and the broken flesh and blood showed the brutality of the battle.

It was very likely that the second circle spell [Flame Blast] had caused this serious damage!

“Where is the corpse?” There were obvious signs of battle on the ground, but there was no sign of Blaney’s body.

The scavenger swallowed his saliva and said with difficulty. “After the Lord Mage Hunter died, he was thrown into… the Yin River…”

“This is blasphemy against God!”

A middle-aged priest behind him berated him before Antioch could even open his mouth.

Over the years, thanks to Duke Nordland’s ” wise ” measures, the entire lower reaches of the Yin River had long become a filthy place.

It should be known that Blaney’s identity was not as simple as a Mage Hunter’s. He was also a member of the God’s Punishment Army, and he had even drunk the [God’s Grace Potion]. He had already become God’s messenger in the mortal world.

The reason why he frequently participated in the Mage Hunting Operation was just to enrich his experience.

However, the Mage, who had been corrupted by the devil, had actually killed him cruelly and thrown his corpse into the filthy river. This was undoubtedly a provocation to the dignity of the Holy Church!

The scavenger’s body trembled, and he lowered his head in fear.

Antiochtightened his grip on the scepter, and his anger surged. He turned to the trembling scavenger and questioned him again.

“Did you see what the mage who killed Blaney looked like? Did anyone else participate in the process?”

“I only took a few glances from afar. Lord Bishop, I don’t think there was a second mage…” The scavenger answered with a trembling voice. “The man looked like he had just come of age. He had brown hair and was about the same height as you.”

“Carl…” Antioch muttered to himself as he pondered over the information he had received.

Prior to this, he had never paid much attention to this unknown Mage-Apprentice. After all, from the information he had obtained, the other party had only joined the mages for about half a year. He was not liked by Kru and was the least threatening of all the targets.

But now, it seemed that this was not the case…

Casting the second-circle spell [Flame Blast] to kill two Mage Hunters was definitely not something an apprentice who had just come into contact with magic could do!

Unless the other party had a powerful alchemy tool or…He was an official Mage like Kru!

..

A few days later, at the border of Nordland, in a hotel in Ur Town.

Lin En, who had just woken up from the nightmare, jumped up from the hard wooden bed and ran to the window as fast as he could, to observe the scene outside.

Seeing that everything was normal and no one was coming to capture him, Lin En heaved a sigh of relief.

Ever since he had killed the two Hunters in the slums five days ago, he had been worried about the follow-up pursuit of the Court. He had deliberately taken a long detour to Ur Town, and he had even faked some traces of his escape.

Perhaps it was because of his half-baked anti-reconnaissance skills, or the court had no time to pay attention to him. So far, he had not encountered any pursuers.

Even so, the journey could only be described as arduous.

He was used to the convenience of modern life. Now that he was suddenly in a place similar to the medieval period in Europe, the contrast almost made him collapse.

After all, there were no cell phones, computers, familiar family members, or friends there. There was no way to have a hot breakfast in the morning. All he had was black bread with water…

The only fortunate thing was that he had the full set of memories from Carl. He knew the language and words of this world, and his survival skills were not weak. He could deter some blind thieves and not die on the way.

After a few days of torture, Lin En reluctantly accepted the fact that he had transmigrated. This was already the second day since he arrived at Ur Town!

Out of caution, Lin En did not rush to find the whereabouts of the other mage apprentices. After discovering the marks left by the other party, he secretly returned and spent a day familiarizing himself with the terrain. He also purchased a dozen new flint stones and a bag of black bread.

After a few days of escaping, Lin En became a little jittery. However, after a preliminary understanding of Ur Town, he immediately understood why Joni chose this place as the venue for the gathering.

As a small trading town on the border of Nordland, the people who came and went here were mixed, and there were often caravans coming and going. One or two unfamiliar faces would not attract too much attention.

As Lin En thought about it, he reached out and took the stone mortar beside him. He placed the flint into it and then ground it into a fine powder.

During the time he had entered Ur Town, apart from searching for the mark and familiarizing himself with the terrain, Lin En spent the rest of his time on the production of white phosphorous!

White phosphorous is a simple substance of phosphorous with the chemical formula P4. It was a white or light yellow translucent solid.

There were two commonly used production methods.

The first method was to mix calcium phosphorous acid with silica sand and carbon powder, then heat it up to 1400 to 1600 degrees Celsius. After that, the generated phosphorus vapor was introduced into cold water, and it solidified into white phosphorus.

The second was to isolate the air, heat the red phosphorus to 416 degrees Celsius, sublimate it, and cool it.

However, in this world without an industrial system, it was not easy to find these raw materials in a short period of time.

Although 071 had shown him some ancient and ” convenient ” methods of extracting raw materials, he did not intend to use them unless he had no other choice.

Fortunately, Lin En soon found a surprise. The surface of the flint he used before was mixed with some red phosphorus!

Considering that red phosphorus was a highly effective flame retardant, it was not surprising that it was used in the manufacture of matches in the last century to improve their safety.

It seemed that the natives of this world had already discovered the element of phosphorus, but their application of it was still very shallow.

Under the continuous grinding of the wooden stick, the pieces of flint gradually disintegrated. After removing some of the impurities, only clusters of scarlet powder were left…

Lin En didn’t have any professional instruments in his hands, but magical power was much more useful than those scientific instruments!

[Mage’s Hand]!

With a thought from Lin En, the fine red phosphorus seemed to have received some kind of call and automatically floated up. Then, under the effect of [Basic Material Deconstruction], it was deconstructed into the basic molecular state…
