In autumn, in the Eternal Star, in the Magic Academy of the Royal Capital, Jonny, who has become a tutor, is holding a book and looking up at the blue sky.
Under the beautiful sunset, it is an extremely spectacular scene!
A huge silver chain circulates above the sky, as if it is splitting the entire sky into two halves. Under the influence of [Far Vision], Jonny can clearly see the giant screen full of mechanical beauty and the continuous flow above it. Rune magic.
This huge planet-circling creation was built three years ago and is now largely completed. As for its function, there are divergent opinions within the parliament.
Some wizards believe that these ring-shaped creations are the residences built by the magic star for themselves, palaces standing on the sky, to show their uniqueness and greatness!
But this statement is obviously untenable, because as this thing is gradually built, no matter from any angle, it does not look like a place for living.
Therefore, many alchemists began to speculate that the speakers were preparing to build a very large electromagnetic orbit around the world, and in the future, inexhaustible electricity would fly down from the sky!
Jonny wasn't quite sure why, because she had already left the core of the school.
Although she has reached the limit of the third-ring wizard at the age of more than 20 years old. As long as she reaches the quota to call the magic network, she can be promoted to the great wizard immediately. She is obviously good enough, but now the situation is different.
In the past, it was difficult to see great wizards who could serve as the high-end combat power of a kingdom appearing in large numbers like carrots. Nowadays, more than a thousand people have successfully broken through the great wizards.
Those newly promoted great wizards may not even be selected by the parliamentarians, and they have to go through many selections.
Jonny knew very well that his talent was good, but it was by no means top-notch. Compared with a certain magic star who had gone from being an apprentice to a transcendent mortal realm, it was not worth mentioning, and it was difficult to provide much help.
However, in today's Magic Kingdom, as long as everyone is willing to shine, Joni chose the education industry to pass on new and interesting knowledge. This is what she is most happy to do.
A slight smile appeared on Jonny's lips, and suddenly, a hand gently patted her shoulder.
The witch immediately shuddered, secretly annoyed at her lowered vigilance, and turned her head suddenly, only to realize that it was her friend Debra who made the move.
"Jionny, have you seen the movie a few days ago? That Dave is so smart. He was able to sneak out from under the nose of a cardinal with twenty apprentices, and also convinced the local city lord to believe in false gods. I have doubts..." Debra chattered about the plot of the movie, her face full of excitement, obviously she still hadn't fully recovered from the exciting plot.
Because she grew up in the land of wizards, Debra didn't know much about the past history of the kingdom, and she wasn't too interested in the dispute between wizards and the church. But after watching the movie this time, she was shocked to realize how bad these people are.
Those priests not only enslaved the poor together with the nobles, but even made up the so-called kingdom of heaven. In fact, they turned the souls of believers into nourishment to support the god!
So when watching the movie, Debra was filled with righteous indignation and wanted to rush in and use magic to fight alongside Dave. It was not until the ending that Dave successfully avenged his fiancée and she breathed a sigh of relief.
I am even more looking forward to the next sequel, because I heard that the story about the magic star will appear in the next movie!
But it would still be a few months before the response to the next movie would come out, and Debra couldn't wait any longer. The only person who might know all of this, Jonny, became the subject of her inquiry!
Joni sighed helplessly. Since last night, many people had asked her the same question, but in fact she did not know anything, so she had to mention the words she had agreed with Lin En again. Again.
She had told this nonsense story almost a thousand times, and she even began to doubt whether it was true. Now I am afraid that no one would believe that the famous Magic Star was just a person when he was still in the empire. A wizard apprentice who has studied magic for half a year.
I even taught him...
Jonny's thoughts drifted further and further, thinking of the days when he was on the run in the empire, and also thought of the dead Kent, Buck, White Pigeon... and their teacher Kelu.
After the Parliament counterattacked the Empire, Jonny once inquired about the teacher's information. Unfortunately, the information he received was that after being escorted to the Holy City, Kelu was burned to death on the rack in front of the eyes of a group of believers... …
A little sadness surrounded Jonny's heart, but it was quickly dispelled, because the dark rule belonging to the church has completely ended, and no one will be sent to the stake for researching knowledge in the future...
While Jonny and Debra were recounting their deeds, [Dave II - The Secret of the Moon] was also spreading throughout the kingdom, and the actor who played the protagonist suddenly became the most popular figure in the entire Magic Kingdom. .
The plot of the movie caused an uproar among ordinary people.
Because while the plot is exciting and exciting, it also reveals the essence of faith and exposes the so-called kingdom of heaven of the Moon God is actually a complete scam!
After the death of all poor people who believe in the Moon God, their souls will be stored as materials for the promotion of false gods...
With the first movie as a foreshadowing and using Dave's experience to resonate with everyone, the second movie is surprisingly effective in revealing the true nature. Most civilians have limited education and do not understand high-end things like acting.
In their view, this was the plot that really happened in front of them, vividly showing the insidious faces of the priests and bishops, coupled with the terrifying-looking soul sacrifice ceremony, which undoubtedly aroused the excitement of a large number of poor people in the kingdom. panic!
Some citizens who still maintained the habit of praying in private went home in fear and smashed the statues of the Moon God they secretly enshrined, and even cried and begged the wizards to save their souls.
And the wizards of the parliament have already prepared the secret medicine for baptism!
Of course, these secret medicines are not so powerful that they can directly forget their faith. In fact, these shallow believers do not need to receive psychological treatment.
The secret medicine has only two effects, that is, it is good for the body's health and makes people feel energetic, but before that, they will experience extremely intense pain.
This is both a small benefit and a punishment. After all, only through pain can we remember.
Anti-belief has also become the mainstream of the kingdom today. On the one hand, it is aimed at the remnants of the church, and on the other hand, it is to prevent wizards with ulterior motives from replicating Ella's belief in becoming a god.
This is not an unfounded fantasy. In the past few years, the Parliament has arrested many wizards who are trying to reverse the course of history. Either they want to improve their strength and break through because of their poor talent, or they have the ambition to become gods.
However, with the increasing control of the parliament over the kingdom and the popularity of the magic network, the number of wizards who choose to take desperate risks has become much smaller.
As "Dave II" became popular in the kingdom, the parliament also issued an order to arrest believers of the God of the Moon.
Due to the plan at the time, this was actually a closing operation to clean up all the remnants of the church and nobles who were lurking in the kingdom and trying to cause trouble.
Tiral and others, who were feeling angry and frightened by the broadcast of "The Legend of Dave", were all arrested before they could hold a meeting to discuss the next plan. The group worked hard, and the newly established musket workshop also It was directly incorporated into the state.
They were not the most unlucky group. A member of the Moon Worshiping Organization in the kingdom was horrified to discover that twenty of the thirty people in the organization were undercover until the moment he was arrested. Even the founder Everyone is a fishing organization...
The comprehensive report of the believers was quickly handed over to Lin En.
"A total of 316,340 people?" Lin En flicked the booklet filled with names and identities, and all the information appeared in his mind.
This number is much higher than expected. You must know that those who can be included in the list are unrepentant devout believers or traitors who are doing things secretly.
You know, in the original battle with the church, Ella sacrificed all the devout believers, and now there are still so many.
After pondering for a moment, Lin En wanted to understand that their earth-shaking transformation plan for this continent had offended the interests of too many people. These people were unable to resist the parliament by virtue of their own strength. The God of Resurrection Moon became their way to regain the past. Rights are the only hope, and faith will naturally gradually become firmer.
"Sir Speaker, I wonder how these people should be dealt with specifically?" the wizard in charge of the report asked cautiously.
"Keep them locked for now. I still need them for some use." Linn waved his hand and said without any intention of revealing it.
He had kept this group of believers inside the kingdom before to make Ella's escape more natural, so as to attract the gods of the main world to launch an attack at the right time and help them resist threats from the universe.
As for now it has a new use, because when he was in a foreign land, Lin En designed to kill a god and seize the god's priesthood. His name was Lie. For the time being, he only experimented with the effect of disguise. Using the law, he even Can imitate the power of other gods!
If used well, this would undoubtedly be a powerful weapon, and Lin En planned to use it on these followers of Ella.
However, how to use the connection between faith and gods to once again strengthen one's ability to control the situation is a question that needs to be carefully studied.
Fortunately, the number of test products is large enough and should be able to withstand the torment...
