Lin En still remembered Zhinao's evaluation of magic and soul power when he first traveled through time two and a half years ago.
They also seem to be a type of energy.
So does the mass-energy equation apply to psychic energy and magic?
The more Lin En thought about it, the deeper he went. He vaguely felt that the road to legend seemed to be right in front of him!
There is only one crucial breakthrough left!
As for this breakthrough, it is naturally easiest to find it from the captured Judge Joshua!
Thinking of this, Linn looked at Vittorio and asked. "Have you ever tried to strike at faith, Chancellor Vittorio?"
For a fanatical believer, the so-called torture and humiliation are child's play. As long as their faith does not waver, everything they do is in vain.
"Not yet." Vittorio shook his head.
Three days was too short, and he still had to find time to study the structure of Joshua's stairs. He had only tried five interrogation plans for the time being.
"Anyway, we can give it a try from this aspect!" Linn suggested. "I want to see the presiding judge in person."
Vittorio naturally had no objection.
He hid Joshua in a secret place not so that he could eat alone and conduct research in private, but because he was worried that the news would be leaked.
Once the Holy See learns that the presiding judge has been captured by them and finds out where he is being held, they will definitely do everything they can to rescue this legendary priest!
"By the way, I have another discovery that is related to you!" Vittorio took out a four-finger-thick book from his arms and put it on the table. He looked at Linn and said with a smile.
Lynn knew immediately that this was a Bible!
However, the manuscript Vittorio took out was different from the manuscripts carried by ordinary priests and bishops. It looked extremely extraordinary. Ninety-nine percent of it was carried by the presiding judge Joshua!
Before Linn could ask anything, Vittorio opened the Bible.
"The Holy See has issued a reward for you!"
Now not only Lin En, but also the congressmen present came forward with great interest, and were immediately confused by the long series of zeros...
"One hundred million... imperial gold coins?" After confirming several times that he had read correctly, Lin En's face was filled with astonishment.
You must know that the kingdom's annual tax revenue is less than 10 million imperial gold coins.
Good guy, let’s put it this way, I’m actually worth more than ten years of the kingdom’s tax revenue!
Lin En was dumbfounded. Unknowingly, he was as rich as anyone in the world!
And what is that messenger of doom?
"Anyway, you'd better be careful. Such a high bounty will probably arouse the covetousness of many people..." Vittorio reminded.
Although Lin En has now broken through and become a great wizard, and his combat power is also very powerful. There are not many people who can defeat him, but assassination is not a frontal battle, and all kinds of underhanded methods can be described as annoying!
No matter how strong a person is, there is still the possibility of overturning!
…
The Wizards' Council lasted for three hours before it ended. In view of the fact that the Holy See elected a new saint, the speakers suppressed the calls of the war faction after discussion and decided to temporarily suspend the attack on the empire. , first stabilize the internal situation.
The results they achieved this time were already very great. Not only did they regain the entire kingdom, they also captured a border territory of the empire!
The most important thing is that all newly acquired territories have been 'cleared'. The local nobles have either been hanged or accepted the 'Chaoan'. Apart from the obvious need to obey the king's orders, they will not be subject to any restrictions. Constraints, very suitable for large-scale industrial development!
However, for the senior leaders of the parliament, these are just side effects. Lynn knows very well that a large nuclear explosion can only be used as a means of deterrence.
Only by breaking through and becoming a true legend can we hope to completely defeat that false god!
So after the meeting, Linn followed Vittorio to the secret location where Joshua was imprisoned.
The location was much closer than he expected—it was actually deep underground in the conference room!
"This basement is very secret. I searched it out from the Duke's brain. No one else knows about it." Vittorio explained.
Moreover, another advantage of imprisoning him underground in the conference room is that a large number of guards will be arranged, which will not arouse the suspicion of others.
Their residence is not far from this place, so if something unexpected happens, they can be there immediately!
Vittorio complained to Linn about the difficulty of the presiding judge. After opening a heavy steel door, Linn saw the imprisoned Joshua...
Different from the arrogant and extraordinary appearance of the other party during the last meeting, the presiding judge at this moment looked miserable, his body being restrained by thick rune chains.
Every few seconds, these rune chains will light up, releasing strong lightning strikes, and the muscles on Joshua's body will begin to tremble!
This is Vittorio's new criminal method. In addition to severe pain, it can also make people's spirits highly tense at all times.
For normal people, not to mention three days, even three hours, I'm afraid not many people can endure it!
However, this presiding judge was different. With his eyes closed, his whole body was like a piece of wood. No matter how violent the lightning strike was, it was not enough to make him frown, as if he was dead and motionless.
"After all, this should be our second meeting, right? Your Excellency, the presiding judge?" Linn greeted casually.
He won't reply to you... Just as Vittorio was about to say this, he saw Joshua open his eyes, staring at Linn with his eagle-like eyes, and whispered in a dry and hoarse voice.
"Magic Star, Blasphemer...Lynn..."
Vittorio choked and didn't know what to say for a moment. He tortured the other party for three days, while Joshua pretended to be dead and never said a word.
In this way, he, the legendary speaker, was not as good as Lin En, the great wizard, in the eyes of the other party.
Just thinking of that terrifying nuclear explosion technique, Vittorio smiled bitterly, as if it was really not as good as...
"Yes, it's me!" Linn nodded, admitted, and then continued to ask. "Don't you want to know why you suddenly lost God's protection? And how you lost this war?"
Joshua remained silent, as if he had turned back into the living dead again.
Lin En didn't mind, but kept talking to himself about how he used a secret plan to defeat Chen Cang and manipulate the Holy See's crusade.
Joshua remained silent, as if the person being teased in Linn's words was not him.
"It's a pity that you didn't see that scene. Your saint, the incarnation of that false god, was forced to use the Gate of Heaven under our siege. But this is exactly what I want, even if it is a god, in The new magic I developed - the Great Nuclear Explosion Technique is still vulnerable to a single blow."
Lin En looked regretful, stared at Joshua, and said decisively.
"So, your master is dead and died under my spell!"
