Chapter 314: Lord Lynn, Your Wisdom Is Astounding!

Within the hall, the wizards were immensely curious about what experiment Lord Lynn had mentioned. Many remembered a year ago when this magical star conducted an astounding pendulum experiment here, proving that their land was round and continuously spinning.

"Master Anthony, is it true that this world has no color?" Flora whispered inquisitively from the audience.

Anthony furrowed his brow and didn't respond. Nearby, Elok and others were also murmuring in their minds. They held a considerable amount of belief in the headmaster's words, but this seemed a bit too far-fetched.

Similar discussions echoed throughout the hall. Meanwhile, Glenn, following Lynn's instructions, placed the light dissociation device in his hands under the beam of sunlight streaming from above.

The white light immediately split into a magnificent seven-colored rainbow...

Subsequently, Glenn masked the other colored lights, leaving only the blue light, which he directed towards Johnny.

A dazzling blue light swiftly illuminated the girl, prompting all the wizards in the hall to involuntarily stand, their faces filled with astonishment...

"How... How is this possible? It turned black?" Raphael stared fixedly at the platform. Under the blue light, the girl's originally fair skin turned as blue as the light itself, while her red garment turned pitch black.

Glenn, too, suppressed his surprise. He rotated the light dissociation device in his hand, transitioning from blue light to green, then yellow. Yet, no matter which light was used for illumination, Johnny's attire remained entirely black.

If not for her skin changing with the light's hue, everyone present might have thought that the light dissociation device was malfunctioning.

Only when Glenn moved past the blue light and transitioned to the red light did the situation finally change. The orange light shone upon Johnny, and her long dress immediately reverted to its original bright red.

This peculiar optical phenomenon astonished the wizards present, especially the one who had previously opposed Lynn. He was now completely stupefied.

"The yellow light is being absorbed!" murmured Glenn to himself.

Raphael and the others quickly recalled Lynn's words from earlier. Orange is a mix of red and yellow; now that the yellow light was absorbed, only the red light could reflect back!

As they thought, from orange to red and then to purple, the entire spectrum on the dress only displayed various shades of red...

"This is impossible. That garment must have been enchanted!" exclaimed a witch from the audience, disbelief evident in her voice.

"Anyone who doubts this experiment can come up and try it themselves. Everything you find has the ability to reflect and absorb light, just to varying degrees," Lynn said with a smile.

Following Lynn's suggestion, curious wizards ascended the platform, placing different items—clothes, cloths, necklaces, various ornaments, and alchemical tools—in the center, exposing them to different colored lights.

The results mirrored Lynn's claims. However, since most items didn't purely reflect a single color of light, only Johnny's red dress displayed a striking change due to its excellent absorption of other colors, creating such pronounced alterations.

"It's indeed true... Objects themselves have no inherent color; everything we see is a result of light's reflection," Sanchez concluded after conducting experiments.

If objects had inherent colors, they should have exhibited changes in various colors when exposed to different lights, not just turned black. So, the only explanation was that objects had no color; the color was the light they perceived!

However, Sanchez seemed to suddenly have another question. Puzzled, she asked, "Lord Lynn, I have one more doubt I'd like you to clarify. If an object absorbs light, is there a limit? And where does the absorbed light go?"

Lynn looked at Sanchez, surprised. This question delved into quantum-scale changes, something he could explain but not provide definitive proof for...

After pondering, Lynn carefully responded, "Perhaps you've noticed—a white object absorbs heat from sunlight the slowest, while a black object absorbs it the fastest. After all, it absorbs all the light and gains the most energy!"

"I see. So, is it the gathering of 'light elements' that generates heat?" Raphael speculated, envisioning the theory prevalent in the wizarding world. He then exclaimed, "Your wisdom is astounding, Lord Lynn... It seems appointing you as the Judge was the most fitting decision!"

Without Lynn's presence, they might have accepted Glenn's theory of primary colors...

Although magical theory deductions often came with errors—many theories accepted or even promoted by the council were later overturned—these judges who made decisions felt somewhat embarrassed now.

On the platform, Glenn and his companions looked crestfallen, unable to counter with words. After all, the irrefutable evidence was right before them.

"Lord Lynn, it seems our research was flawed," Glenn said with disappointment, holding the light dissociation device.

Lynn smiled and said, "Indeed, there were flaws in your research. However, it holds great value, serving as a significant addition to our understanding of light-based magical theories. After all, our enemies are often human."

"On my personal behalf, I nominate you for the Morning Star Medal," Lynn said solemnly.

As an academic judge, pointing out flaws in new magical theories was his duty, while nominating someone for the Morning Star Medal encouraged this spirit of magical research.

In just a year since he introduced glass, Glenn and his team had discovered the properties of this item, created a qualified prism, and unveiled the phenomenon of primary colors—a remarkable feat!

"What do you think?" Lynn asked the judges.

Raphael and the others exchanged glances. Glenn's research warranted a Morning Star Medal. However, they could also perceive Lynn's profound understanding of optics and familiarity with primary colors. He had even directed Glenn's experiments, indicating he might have known about this theory for some time.

Yet, since even Lynn didn't oppose it, after discussing among themselves, they unanimously agreed.

The spirit behind the Magical Discourse Convention was to encourage wizards in their magical studies and publicize their corresponding achievements. Even though Glenn and his team had independently researched the rainbow and the three primary colors phenomenon, they still deserved recognition...
