After learning the good news that the Moon God was about to revive, and getting the design drawings of the musket, a group of nobles and priests who had been confused since the collapse of the church and the fall of the empire saw the dawn of hope.
"The next thing we need to do is to continue to strengthen [Moon Watchers] and select believers who still believe in the great Moon God from those officials, businessmen and even civilians... Only more and more pious prayers can Let the Lord see our sincerity in repentance!" Bishop Seediq said solemnly.
This is not an easy task, because for more than five years, those cunning wizards have used money, materials, land purchases and other means to try to corrode the faith in the hearts of the people of the empire.
Fortunately, the thousand-year rule of the empire and the church is still deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Although many civilians have obtained abundant supplies, they are very poor spiritually, longing for the great Lord to redeem themselves!
Those wizards only conquered the bodies of these people, but did not really occupy their hearts. Everyone in the world misses the grand scene of the nobles and the church ruling the entire continent together!
Therefore, within the empire, there are still many citizens who secretly worship the Moon God, but they dare not pray openly due to the cruelty and persecution of the wizards!
Tyral and other nobles also echoed Seedek's words, talking about how to build a large musket factory and mobilize the people to oppose the wizard's rule.
Listening to everyone's serious discussion on how to counterattack the Magic Kingdom, a young Imperial Viscount in the corner had a strange look on his face and almost laughed out loud.
Pym is a Viscount of the Empire, but he is also a member of the Dark Guard, responsible for eliminating all threats within the kingdom.
Of course, the identity of this nobleman was not false, otherwise he would not have been able to sneak into the [Moonwatcher] organization so easily. However, Pym had long seen clearly that the empire and the church were bound to fail, so he made an early bet and decisively changed his family.
As a price, all the hereditary titles and land were taken away, but the family wealth was retained. More importantly, the parliament did not restrict anyone from becoming a wizard or learning magic!
With a knowledge reserve far higher than that of ordinary people, coupled with the power of the magic network, Pim successfully became an official wizard.
Powerful magic and various novel alchemical creations are all new experiences that have never been enjoyed before.
Whether traveling or living, it is a hundred times more comfortable than being a noble!
It's just that people's greed is always endless. Pim naturally hopes to go one step further and become a great wizard!
This represents greater power and longer lifespan, as well as the possibility of entering the core of the parliament!
But Pim knew very well that his knowledge was far from outstanding. The only thing he could hope for was to achieve high enough merit. This was why he left behind a decent and comfortable life and became a secret guard.
[Moonwatcher] was his target, and Pim infiltrated it to find out what amazing conspiracy the remnants of the empire that had gathered together were plotting.
The result was that he was extremely disappointed. That's it...that's it? !
Pym was sure that if these people had seen how the Parliament captured the Holy City, they would never have had the ridiculous idea of using muskets to organize civilians to counterattack the Magic Kingdom.
Just due to the need for military training and the lack of opponents, they used conventional weapons when attacking major cities in the empire, that is, muskets and cannons!
Even so, without the support of the church, the so-called elites of the empire were vulnerable to firearms.
The so-called imperial capital only held out for three days before it fell. This was because they did not let go of the bombing for fear of hurting civilians.
It seems that such conservatism has given some people some unrealistic ideas, thinking that they can threaten the kingdom by relying on old firearms technology. This is simply a fantasy!
Realizing that this organization was just a bunch of idiots with brain problems and still immersed in past fantasies, Pim was disappointed. It seemed that the expected major achievements were about to fail.
However, regarding the 'awakening' of the Moon God, the church clergy need to report it as soon as possible to regain their mastery of divine arts.
The nobles and priests who were discussing loudly did not realize that there was a traitor among them.
A tall and thin little nobleman seemed to have suddenly thought of something and hurriedly reminded him. "My Lord Bishop, I heard that the wizards recently created something called a video stone, which is shown in a loop throughout the kingdom, defiling the great Lord and promoting the rule of the Parliament and wizards!"
"Video Stone?! What is this?" Seediq couldn't help but frowned, very wary of the novel creations created by the wizards.
"It seems to be almost like an opera, and it will be screened in the town tonight." The young nobleman said hesitantly.
Hearing that it was similar to an opera, a look of contempt suddenly appeared on Seedek's face.
Of course he knew opera. It originated from the stories sung by bards. They were dramas about warriors slaying dragons, and down-and-out nobles gaining recognition from big shots and reaching the pinnacle of life.
Some poor people, traders and small nobles are very enthusiastic about this, but in Seedek's opinion, it is just a script compiled by bards to satisfy the imagination of the lower class, and it is not worthy of the stage at all!
However, considering the fanfare of those wizards, Seedek still looked at everyone and told them that if they were free tonight, they could go find out what the council was up to.
…
In the evening, the old nobles who had finished their gathering left one by one from various secret passages in the farm. If such a large gathering of people were discovered, it would easily arouse suspicion.
You must know that the Parliament has offered a very high reward for capturing these remnants of the empire and the church.
Many untouchables who have completely abandoned their faith in God are extremely keen to report and report some suspicious objects to the local affairs officer. Therefore, even if the farm is contracted for dozens of miles around, they have to divide up carefully. action.
Tiral was one of the last people to walk out of the manor, and he was still reluctant to leave the moment he stepped out, because here he was the great count of the empire and the future king of [Hadera Tower], and once he walked out of this door, he changed again. I returned to that ordinary worker.
Tyral only hopes that the great Moon God can wake up soon and restore the glory of the empire.
After secretly returning to the town, Tiral, who remained vigilant, immediately noticed the difference. A huge poster was posted at the gate of the town, which instantly attracted his attention.
On the poster, a ferocious-looking priest in white robes is holding a scepter high, facing a wizard Yaoyao with flames, storms and ice floating around his body. Behind him, under the protection of a shield composed of elements, two figures can be vaguely seen. A poor man and woman in ragged clothes but with firm expressions.
Tiral could tell at a glance that this was a life-and-death showdown between a church bishop and a wizard... and it seemed to be related to those low-level untouchables, which was imaginative.
The posters are also very detailed. Whether it is the powerful magic, the gorgeous magic, or the wrinkles and expressions on the faces of several people, you can clearly see it, as if this duel is happening right in front of you.
Tyral knew that this was a magic called optical photography by wizards, which could record what happened.
The cover of the Magic Daily uses the same magic, and some ignorant civilians even think that wizards put frozen time into the photo.
Of course Tiral would not believe such outrageous remarks, not to mention that all major cities sell an alchemical creation called a camera, which can take a lifelike photo by pressing the switch.
Just buying a camera requires 50 gold coins, which is not something ordinary civilians can afford!
This poster was like a super enlarged version of a photo. Even Tilar, who had not been very interested in movies before, couldn't help but feel a little curious at this moment. After hesitating for a moment, he walked in the direction indicated by the poster.
The movie screening location was chosen in the widest and eye-catching square, and the ticket price was not expensive. It only cost one silver coin, which was equivalent to a few days' salary of the kingdom's citizens. It was not a problem to grit one's teeth and take the whole family to watch it. This also means that the number of people watching the movie is beyond imagination.
Almost all the citizens of the town had arrived, and tens of thousands of people gathered in the small square. The 5,000 chairs prepared in advance were not enough, and there was not much space to place them. The rest of the people could only stand and watch. film.
The citizens on the outside whose sight was blocked struggled to squeeze in, but there were also some smart ones who brought their own mats and stood taller than the other. Hundreds of children even climbed to the eaves above their heads. This is what happened. The best viewing position!
With his excellent physical fitness, Tilar squeezed his way to the front amidst the shouts of abuse. Although there was no seat, he could clearly see the scene in front of him.
The center of the square is a large area that has been deliberately left vacant. There are no opera singers or even a stage. The only thing that can be seen is nine projection stones suspended in mid-air.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Sean, who was in charge of the screening, asked people to stop selling tickets. Then he cleared his throat, used a loudspeaker spell, and shouted loudly.
"quiet!"
The sound, as loud as a bell, instantly overwhelmed the discussions of tens of thousands of people, making the noisy square slowly become quiet.
Although there is no very strict hierarchy in the kingdom now, there are still some in private, especially wizards who have a great say.
After the square became silent, Sean announced that today's movie screening would begin. With a flick of his finger, the nine projection stones suspended in mid-air immediately dispersed and flew to every corner of the square.
Immediately afterwards, a dazzling bright light burst out from it, covering the entire square. Tiral subconsciously narrowed his eyes. When he opened his eyes again, he couldn't help showing a look of horror on his face. All the civilians around him Exclamations continued.
In this short moment, they arrived at a farmland from a lively square, with green grass under their feet and a yellow-orange wheat field in front of them.
Tiral couldn't help but squat down and wanted to pull out a piece of grass to confirm the authenticity, but his hand went through the blades of grass.
Obviously this is not a real thing, but a projection of magic and light, which together form a visual effect that is enough to be real!
