Chapter 483: Program
Since the end of the civil war in the south, all the church forces in the entire south have entered a kind of window period, the most influential Holy Light Church has been blocked in Lu'an City, and the missionary activities have also stopped, while those other sects of the Holy Light Church, which are relatively weak and scattered, quickly smelled the danger and took the initiative to stop or reduce the frequency of activities in the south. There is only the "Protestant faith of the Holy Light", or the "Pure Doctrine of the Holy Light", which slowly penetrates from the city of Cecil.
With the start of the "public opinion propaganda offensive", the slowly infiltrating Protestant faith will quickly fill this vacuum, and correspondingly, the influence of the old Holy Light Church will be dealt an extremely heavy blow in the process.
Cecil's printing machine was set in motion.
An overwhelming flood of newspapers and promotional materials is covering the entire South, and every day and every minute and every second there are articles about the Church of the Holy Light.
In the pen of Godwin Orlando and Wright, these essays dissect the behemoth of the Church of Light in an extremely indifferent and extremely clear and straightforward way, and for the first time, the Church of the Light is not as a supernatural force on high above, not as a holy group with a divine aura, but as an ordinary force that needs to be maintained by power and run by money. How does it control the spread of theological knowledge, how it maintains the purity of its top members, how it recruits new people, how it amasses wealth, how it maintains force to secure its position, how it fabricates lies to fight its competitors......
After all the details have been dissected, every aspect of the operation of the Church of Light has become unholy.
On this basis, the news from Lu Ancheng began to quietly appear in all the eye-catching pages of the newspaper as current affairs news interspersed in the middle of the "popular science column".
Godwin Orlando's grammar skills are powerful as a news writer, and his writings do not require any invective or intense emotion, but have awakened thousands of people by quietly stating everything about the Church of Light.
However, newspapers alone are not enough.
Cecil City, in a special building on the edge of the Mage Quarter, is trying to calm her mind.
The building was originally part of the Magic Guiding Technology Research Institute, but with the establishment of the Magic Network Communication-Broadcasting Complex System, the building was separated and independently used as the control center of the Magic Network Communication-Broadcasting, and on the upper floor, the technicians worked overtime to renovate and construct it, and according to the experience of the first Magic Network broadcast, it was transformed into Cecil's first practical "studio".
Although she thinks she has a good psychological quality, and although she has a strong self-confidence before, at this moment, Jibri still feels an irrepressible tension filling her heart.
She sat in the hallway outside the studio, watching through the window as the magicians inside put the finishing touches on the equipment - inside was a light blue room, half of the room was reserved for herself, and it was arranged like an ordinary and warm living room, with simple and comfortable sofas and round tables, and soft and bright lighting, but the other half of the room seemed to be a large and complex magic laboratory: three specially made large magic net terminals were placed in three different directions, Metal beams covered in magic patterns stretched from the base of the magic web terminals to the control seats at the end of the room, where a row of seats and runic devices were set up to control the lights of the entire room and the status of each magic web terminal, and when the "show" began, those seats were filled with technicians with serious faces.
Gypley knew that her job would be to sit on the couch at one end of the room, facing the massive and complex magic machines and a group of expressionless staff members, reading her manuscript.
She will not have any other communication partners or audience in front of her except for the machine and technician and a certain guest, but in fact...... Countless people throughout the South will see themselves at the same moment - their faces will appear to all of them through the "Public Magic Web Terminals" set up in the four new industrial towns and a large number of satellite towns.
She hadn't seen that many people in her life.
For the first time in her life, Gypley, who has always prided herself on being articulate, was a little afraid to speak.
And just as Gippley was in a state of tension and anxiety, a brisk voice suddenly came from the side, interrupting the witch lady's thoughts: "Nervous? If you're nervous, just eat some sugar~"
Startled, she hurriedly looked back, only to see Miss Rebecca Cecil standing next to her, a noble lady with a glorious surname wearing a loose technician's white robe over her dress, looking without the elegance and reserve of a noble lady, her eyes were sparkling and she was holding a handful of candy cubes in her hand, and she was handing it to her: "Here, you won't be allowed to eat when you enter the studio later." β
For a moment, Jibrie wanted to salute and refuse, but by the time she could react, Rebecca had already shoved the candy cube into her mouth.
"It's delicious β there's honey in it!" Rebecca grinned, "Eat a piece of candy when you're nervous, it's something Aunt Herty taught me, and it works." β
"Thank you...... Thank you......" Gypri was a little dazed and swallowed the candy, and only reacted after a moment, and hurriedly thanked him, "You are such a kind person. β
Rebecca's reaction startled the witch lady: "Wow - it's the first time anyone has said such a thing to me so seriously!" β
Jibrie was a little sluggish for a moment, but just as she was about to say something, Rebecca had already jumped to the next topic: "Are you ready?" You seem to have been stuck twice during rehearsals before. β
"I ...... I think it's okay," said Gyprie hurriedly, then nodding vigorously, "I must be fine." β
"Actually, it's pretty much the sameβthe ancestors have said that the most important thing is to play on the spot, even if you can't remember the words, you can make up the words on the spot," Rebecca said, shaking her head, "And don't look at your nervousness, maybe the one who will play with you is even more nervous than you." β
Hearing this, Jibrie couldn't help but glance back at the temporary partner who was going to appear with her.
On a chair not far away, a man who was two meters tall, extremely strong, and had a scar on his eye was closing his eyes and looking calm and indifferent.
A translucent, glowing little girl floats around and grimaces trying to scare passers-by - but it's too intimidating to succeed once.
Gypley was a little frustrated: "...... I don't think Mr. Wright is nervous at all, and neither is Miss Emily. β
Rebecca saw this, too, and tried to comfort the Jepley again, but before she could speak, the bell suddenly rang to indicate that the device was ready.
Popley looked up, she looked at the debugging staff who were coming out of the studio, and the controller who was walking into the room, and then took a deep breath.
She stood up and nodded to Rebecca, "I'm in." β
Rebecca smiled brightly, clenched her fist to her chest and shook it, "Come on!" β
When sitting in the focal point of the three magic net terminals, Jibrie felt that her whole body was a little fluttery, and an unreal feeling grabbed her heart, making her heart beat rapidly.
She was still nervous to death.
Wright also walked into the studio, and the man who was too big to look like a priest sat down across from Jibrie, and he smiled, as did Emily, who was floating behind him.
At this moment, Gippley felt as if her nervousness had lessened.
She looked at Emily, watching the spirit girl with big eyes and a simple smile obediently disappear into the resonance of the light beside Wright, and suddenly realized what she was doing here.
She felt ready.
"The equipment is in place β five seconds down to power-on."
A voice came from a certain direction, and instead of searching for the direction it came from, Gippley sat down on the couch and turned her head to the three complex, massive, and cold magic machines.
She remembered the first time she used a crappy "divination spell" to fool a merchant in exchange for a full ration the next day, and she was as nervous as she was today.
ββ¦β¦ Four...... Three ......"
When she wandered through the poor streets of the South, among adventurers and mercenaries, she always used lies to protect herself, and used rhetoric to coax others, but in the beginning, she didn't want to deceive anyone at all, she just wanted to eat a full meal.
ββ¦β¦ Two...... One ......"
Now, she's had enough to eat.
She's going to tell the truth today.
"Let's go!"
A smile appeared on Jipley's face, and that smile was sweet and kind:
"Hello everyone, I am Gippley, you can call me Miss Witch.
"I think you're curious about what you're seeing before your eyes, and what a strange person is trying to do when he suddenly appears in a magical projection - I'm sure you'll soon find out about it.
"Welcome to the first issue of Witch Time, and today, we're going to talk about what's happening in Luan......
In a room next to the studio, a magic web terminal used for testing was activated, and a stable and clear image appeared above the crystal with the glow of magic in the holographic projection crystal, along with the sweet voice of the gipley.
Gawain looked at the picture and sound in front of him, tilted his head slightly, and said to Hetty beside him: "She played well - the person recommended by Amber is still okay." β
"It's better than expected," Hetty nodded, "as long as we can stay the way we are." β
At this moment, the door of the room was suddenly pushed open, and Rebecca, who had a happy face, walked in with brisk steps, and said happily as soon as she entered the room: "Ancestor! The latest feedback is back - the magic network terminals everywhere have been successfully turned on! β
Then she also noticed the test sound and picture in the room, and immediately showed a happy look: "Miss Jipley is doing a great job!" β
"Hmm......" Gawain touched his chin, but suddenly a little confused, "But then I remember this show is called "Cecil Miscellaneous"...... That's the name I gave me......"
Rebecca was stunned: "Eh, is that so?" β
ββ¦β¦ Looks like she's forgotten the words, but she's made one," Gawain looked back at the test picture in the center of the room with a strange expression, "the teleprompter cards on the table haven't been saved...... But the name she made up is not bad. β
Witch time is witch time...... It's quite out of this world.
