Throne of Magical Arcana

The Holy City of Reims, in the study of the Pope.

"Live broadcast of the Rentat Music Festival?" Benedict III looked at the cardinal opposite, and repeated the news he reported. Obviously, he couldn't understand that this level of information could be sent to him. If even such a pea-sized He handles everything by himself, so why do we need so many cardinals?

As if feeling the displeasure of Benedict III, the cardinal sweated a lot on his forehead, and under his nervousness, he missed a crucial sentence: "Reporting to His Majesty, this live broadcast is not about Alto music. The live broadcast in the town square like the festival, but the live broadcast in the four countries of the Channel and some cities in the coastal corridor of the Northland, which brought millions of people to watch the Rentat Music Festival.”

"Ultra-long-distance image transmission... with the help of artificial planets?" Benedict III naturally understood that the live broadcast that the cardinal said was not a broadcast with only sound, so he, who knew a lot about arcane arts, immediately thought of artificial planets. Only then can they take on similar demands, unless the Magic Council is determined to go bankrupt and arrange sound and image transmission arrays everywhere, just like the church did in the past.

The cardinal lowered his head: "Yes, according to the information of the night watchman, the magic council did use the artificial planet as a transit point."

The middle-level magicians who arranged the "curtain" made the "artificial planet" shine to varying degrees during the final adjustment, casting a bright light and creating a strange scene-given their level of strength, this is an unavoidable thing , Therefore, the night watchman with basic magic knowledge judged that this "music festival live broadcast" used the "artificial planet".

Benedict III's face became serious, he took the emergency information from the cardinal's hand, and read it carefully.

"Your Majesty, although the magic array of this 'live broadcast' is not a constant type, nor is it an alchemy item, it loses its effect after being used a few times, but this method will definitely be gradually determined by the Magic Council, and this will cause the four countries of the Strait The vacillation of the believers in the northern coastal corridor will not help us to counterattack in the future." The cardinal was worried about the development of the church and said something boldly.

Benedict III put down the information, the expression on his face was as deep as the sea, making it impossible to judge his real thoughts: "Just to shake the believers? The music festival held in Rentat was broadcast live almost simultaneously in cities separated by different distances. Sound, video, and even ordinary people can enjoy it, not just the nobles... There are many, many things hidden behind such things, and it is definitely not something that can be summed up simply by the wavering of the believers."

"I was stupid and couldn't understand the Lord's prompt." The cardinal trembled slightly in fright. He still wanted to be appreciated by the Pope too much, and his judgment was affected by this greed, so he spoke rashly when he shouldn't.

Benedict III nodded slightly, and continued: "Of course, for us, the most important influence is indeed the sway of the believers. The magicians use the colorful world of enjoyment, luxury, indulgence and lizards to lure people to fall, so that they no longer As simple as it was hundreds of years ago, it lost its soul and made the world a mess, but the more it is like this, the more we need to uphold the teachings of the Lord and save every lamb who still has a little kindness in his heart."

"This is a difficult and dangerous path. Every clergyman must be prepared for martyrdom. Are you ready?"

The cardinal was affirmed, his heart was agitated, and he drew a cross on his chest: "Only the truth lasts forever!"

"Convey my order to call an emergency meeting of the College of Cardinals." Benedict III sighed mercifully.

Half an hour later, except for those who were temporarily out, unable to receive news and guarding important areas, and unable to escape for a while, the rest of the Cardinals gathered in the Great Hall of Light.

And before Pope Benedict III came out with the platinum scepter, they had already learned about the theme of the meeting from the cardinal's announcement.

"Your Majesty, the artificial planets are extremely harmful. We must concentrate our efforts to completely destroy them, and we can no longer combine countermeasures and look for opportunities like before." Melmoth, the head of the Knights Templar, made a straightforward suggestion, although he Unlike cardinals who do research on arcane arts, but from the perspective of bystanders, they can see more clearly the harm of artificial planets to the Lord, the church, and the faith. Their movement in the sky seems to give magicians an extra pair of " "God's Eye" has an extra pair of "Bright Wings"!

After the "launch" of the second artificial planet, the church tried a variety of countermeasures and strikes, but the effect was not very good. Waiting for the "spies" of important cities, and after Lucien proposed the general theory of relativity, the Magic Council has artificial planets entering orbit every year, so it can afford such a loss.

Saint Mary is a brown-haired girl with a calm expression, but she is at least three hundred years old. At this time, she said in a soft voice: "For the Magic Council, the manufacture and launch of artificial planets is not a very important task. Difficult thing, even if we focus our efforts on destroying one, they will be able to launch several more in less than a year."

"Besides, the current Magic Council, apart from the fact that there are no gods, has almost no gap with us in terms of overall strength. We can concentrate our forces to attack, but can't they concentrate their forces to counterattack? Can we still bear the consumption of this kind of all-out war? The heretics in the north, The evil creatures of the Dark Mountains are watching us, waiting for us to make mistakes."

"Angel of the Wind" Estella said through Maria's words: "The Magic Council broadcast Lucien Evans' "Valkyrie" publicly and on a large scale this time. Could it be that our reaction was not expected? Maybe this is another It's a trap for them, maybe they're waiting for us to focus our efforts on destroying orbiting planets!"

"Then what should we do? Can you launch similar objects and use our 'God's Eye' to fight against the magician's 'artificial planet'?" "God's Radiance" Beria gave them this difficult and very difficult excuse. Not very satisfied, always put forward feasible suggestions!

The newly promoted cardinal Philip said: "It is not our strong point to make similar items directly, but we can find a way to capture an artificial planet. There is not much difference between the divine pattern and the magical pattern in essence, but the power borrowed in the end is completely different. As long as it takes time, we should be able to imitate it, and at that time, we who can get the gift of the Lord will create objects that are more aggressive and creative than artificial planets in orbit!"

In terms of borrowing power, past experience has shown that magic is more convenient than magic, because "gods" are everywhere, even on orbits, unlike magicians, in addition to using their own spiritual power to cast spells, they use gravity and solar heat and other forces At that time, a constant magic circle or the entire magic tower is needed to assist, and this makes the artificial planet's attack power obviously insufficient-if the artificial planet is made into an item close to the legendary level, the cost is too high, and it is difficult to reflect the quantitative advantage.

That's why the Magic Council attaches so much importance to the fission reactor and the planned controllable nuclear fusion. If they can be miniaturized, it will completely bridge the gap between magic and divine art in this regard.

"This requires a complete and safe plan, and we cannot fall into the trap of the Magic Council." After Melmos agreed with Philip's opinion, his attitude became more cautious and less radical.

"Very good, everyone has shown their devotion to the Lord." Benedict III made the final decision and asked Maria, Melmos, Philip and other members of the College of Cardinals to draw up plans.

Another cardinal, Ines, drew a cross and added: "But we can't relax the destruction of artificial planets, or the Magic Council launches a few every year, and one day the entire blue sky will be covered by artificial planets. Never see the sun again!"

Although this idea is ridiculous, every member of the College of Cardinals couldn't help but take a breath.

Inside St. Ivan Castle, both Pope Berkovsky and Emperor Romanov of the Shahran Empire received news from their intelligence agents. Then, they raised their heads almost at the same time and looked at the blue sky outside the window, as if through the window. The blue sky and the white clouds saw the artificial planets.

They didn't have any doubts about the strategic significance of the artificial planet, but they sighed at the same time, because there was no way to manufacture it, and they wanted to capture one, but they were worried that they would fall into the trap of the Magic Council, and they couldn't do it in the face of the oppression of the Southern Church. At the same time against the Council of Magic.

Therefore, one must wait patiently for an opportunity. As long as one is captured without causing a large-scale battle, the Magic Council can only grit its teeth and admit it, because it is also impossible for them to rashly attack themselves and other forces when fully confronting the Southern Church. , that would make the Southern Church ecstatic.

In the dark mountains, a flashy and luxurious castle stands on the edge of the cliff. Most of it is made of gold, which is enough to attract the drool of dragons.

A strange man with a cigar in his mouth leaned lazily on the high-backed chair, looked at the butler in front of him and said, "What you said is very interesting, it would be great if the live broadcast items of the Magic Council could be smaller, so I can Being able to see all kinds of interesting things in the castle is really a good thing for a blood race like me who is too lazy to go out."

"Your Excellency, even if you have this kind of item, if you want to see interesting things, you have to rely on the radio station of the Magic Council." The butler replied solemnly.

"Don't worry, since the Magic Council has achieved this level, it will definitely continue to do so. If their radio station lacks resources, I can sponsor it. Isn't Rhine a good relationship with Lucien Evans? Through his words, old guy Then you can’t lose your temper with me.” The vampire prince waved his hand.

"I heard that Your Excellency the Observer accompanied the ancestor to the Temple of the Dead." The butler said another thing.

The vampire prince was silent for a while, then sneered, "The old guy should be angry again."

Allinge, Sky Radio.

After the successful closing of the Rentat Music Festival, Lucien made a special trip here to thank the Arcanists who were in charge of the broadcast, and Heidi, who was curious about the "live broadcast", also "mixed" in with him.

"Your Excellency Evans, this is our job and we don't need to thank you, but the letters from the audience in the past few days have unanimously requested that we continue to maintain similar live broadcasts in the future, and hope that our radio programs will no longer only have sound. What should we do?" Louise was distressed. said.

Lucien smiled and said: "Prime Minister Russell, Duke James and other nobles have expressed similar meanings, but this is not a problem that can be solved by installing a magic radio and adding a speaker. If the current standard is used, the magic array that constantly reveals images And the magic circle receiving the signal is equivalent to consuming a high-level item, and neither the parliament nor the kingdom can be so extravagant."

"So, we need time to complete and simplify similar alchemy items. You can truthfully repeat what I said to the audience. In the near future, you can watch the live broadcast not only in the square, but also in your own home."

"The near future?" Samantha asked suspiciously, as if she hadn't done any research on this before.

Lucien pointed to Heidi next to him: "Some of her research results on artificial intelligence can be directly converted, such as electron tubes, such as display screens, so whether or not similar alchemy items can be completed as soon as possible depends on the efforts of their research team. "

"Me?" Heidi pointed to her nose with a dazed look. She had previously focused on "artificial intelligence" and forgot the application of marginal research.

Kingdom of Dumut, capital Hamina.

Katrina walked on the bustling street, surrounded by dwarves whose height only reached her waist, but there were also businessmen who came to do business, so she was not surrounded by crowds.

"It's not suitable during the day, and I'll put the items given by the teacher at night..." Looking at the crowds outside the temple, Katrina made a rational judgment. Although she didn't understand why the teacher did this, she still prepared carefully explain.

There is one thing, the next chapter may be late, don't wait, everyone, get up and watch it tomorrow morning~
