Chapter 168: The Legendary Witch Aurora

"Is the Society of Mystical Arts you mentioned really that amazing?"

As the people below anxiously waited, the Artificer Victorio looked in surprise at Harof, the Magic Artificer. He asked with a puzzled expression.

During this time, he had been busy optimizing an alchemical array and didn't have much energy to focus on the affairs inside Greenriel City. It wasn't until the past few days that he heard some of the Grand Masters of the Alchemy Association mention this matter.

They were full of praise for Lynn from the Misty Sea and the mysterious Society of Mystical Arts, making Victorio incredibly curious.

"Yes, I've had some exchanges with a few legendary wizards from the Society of Mystical Arts, and their understanding of the cosmos, stars, and space far surpasses ours," Harof replied. He paused for a moment, changed his tone, and shook his head. "No, or I should say, it's not even comparable.

During the last gathering of legendary wizards, when they were discussing the birth and death of the universe, he could only describe it as embarrassing because he couldn't understand what the other side was saying.

The only thing he could confirm was the concept of galactic redshift. But even so, Harof could tell that their theories were logically rigorous, and he even had the feeling that the universe should be just like that.

Victorio, on the other hand, found Harof's description a bit too mystical. He wasn't willing to believe that a wizard organization from the Misty Sea could surpass the continuous development and advancement of magical theories in Greenriel over the past three hundred years.

While the two were chatting, the discussions in the Celestial Sky Realm had grown louder, and it had been one and a half hours since the award ceremony was supposed to start.

"What's going on with Archbishop Anluke?" Victorio also found it strange. In theory, Archbishop Anluke couldn't be absent from the awarding of the Daystar Medals, such an important event.

"Perhaps something delayed him," Aurora said casually.

After a moment's hesitation, Harof decided not to wait any longer and proceeded with the award ceremony. Waiting longer might lead to a postponement.

According to the council's regulations, other than matters like declaring war, fully opening the land of the wizards, or increasing the number of council seats, which could affect the survival of Greenriel, all other important proposals only required the agreement of more than half of the council members, and as long as no councilor expressed clear opposition.

Thinking of this, Harof stood up, cleared his throat, and spoke, "Since Archbishop Anluke has some urgent matters, let's proceed with today's agenda."

As soon as he finished speaking, the once noisy hall suddenly fell silent. All eyes turned to the platform.

"First, Mr. Beron, your Vitality Elixir can quickly restore a wizard's strength, and its materials are simple. It has high popularization value. According to the review by the symposium, I will award you a Daystar Badge as a recognition." Harof looked at a male wizard sitting in the front row.

Beron stood up, extremely excited, and his wrists were trembling as he received the badge.

Normally, the award ceremonies were presided over by Grand Wizards from the Symposium. But this time was different; the awards were given directly by legendary wizards, a significant honor!

Next, Harof awarded Daystar Badges to several wizards who had made significant contributions.

This was another way to gain recognition besides academic achievements. It involved making outstanding contributions to the prosperity and development of the land of the wizards or carrying out important tasks like eradicating enemies.

Ougust was among the recipients.

As Harof evaluated each person's achievements, Lynn realized that most of them were awarded for one specific task: hunting down the psychic wizards who were still causing trouble and creating disturbances.

A few years ago, although several Grand Wizards dispatched by the council successfully eradicated the evil mage school led by Merk, they left behind some troubles.

Ougust's mission was to eliminate a significant figure among the remaining psychic wizards, a key lieutenant of the dark mage Merk.

However, everyone present understood that the awards for these contributions were just appetizers. As expected, Harof soon turned his attention to Lynn.

"Last but not least, Lord Lynn! The theories you presented about the planets and the theory of gravity have completely overturned the understanding of the entire world by the wizards. Your groundbreaking theories, along with a few extraordinary experiments, have verified that these magical theories are not mere fantasies but ironclad facts!"

"In the future, the three great laws of the stars and the universal law of gravity will be required reading for those studying Field Magic..."

"Given the contributions made by Lord Lynn, the Council has unanimously decided to award him the highest honor in magical academia - the Daystar Medal!" Harof shouted loudly, and his voice echoed in the Celestial Sky Realm, making the atmosphere in the entire venue even more heated.

Accompanying the cheers was a wave of applause, and Philip and the others applauded vigorously, as if they wanted to make this wave even more intense.

Lynn stood up and walked towards the platform, while the wizards around him cast various admiring, longing, and astonished glances.

As an official wizard from the Misty Sea, with just a few academic works, he had become the brightest rising star in the entire land of the wizards in just a few days. It inspired many young wizards to dedicate themselves to magic when they returned, hoping to earn this honor someday.

Harof solemnly received a box handed to him by a council member. Inside the box was a very special medal, entirely made of dark gold, with a gloss resembling a gem. The materials used were extremely precious and could not be found anywhere in the known world.

The front of the medal depicted the council's emblem, while the back featured a towering Daystar Tower. In addition to its exquisite appearance and associated honor, it was also a powerful alchemical item. It could activate a six-ring protective spell called "Victorio's Barrier" once actively or when faced with a life-threatening situation.

It was a one-time use item; after releasing this spell, all internal mana would be depleted, rendering it nothing more than an ordinary honor medal.

Similar to the Daystar and Silver Moon Medals, it had protection spells of the corresponding level, serving as a safeguard for those who showed extraordinary talent in academic research and made outstanding contributions to the land of the wizards.

Just as Harof was about to take out the medal, a hand reached out and took the Daystar Medal first.
