Chapter 184: The Temptation of the Devil (4000 words)
Is this called demonic seduction? No... No, comparing a saint to a demon is a heinous act.
But the adjutant had no reason to refuse the request of the Virgen Heloria.
He told the Holy Lady Heloria everything he had seen in Nolan, including some that would have been executed if the archbishop had known about it.
"Magic that connects everyone's consciousness?"
In the adjutant's account, the only one that intrigued the saint Herolia was the 'magical magic' he spoke of at the end.
"It's... Yes, Holy Maiden, Nolan has recently sprung up a whole new kind of magic that is used by almost everyone around me. The adjutant said.
"Connecting with other people's consciousness sounds a bit like a word technique, and I need more details."
The Saintess Herolia searched through the knowledge she had accumulated over the centuries, and found only two or three spells that could share her consciousness with others, but either one was far from his account.
This is because the mere statement that "connects the consciousness of all people" is enough to be understood as a "miracle" that only a god can do.
"A kind of magic called 'magic net' is built with an order inscription system, and you can use the magic net by buying a very small primordial crystal at the White Vitex Theater in Nolan, and then crushing it."
The magic of the magic net is beyond the words of the adjutant.
Pale white magic surrounded his hands, and the interface of the magic net began to condense in his mind as the mana supply began.
Eventually, Herolia saw an interface of pure white light appearing in front of the adjutant's eyes, with a large amount of text and images on the interface.
"What is this?"
Herolia was facing the adjutant face-to-face, so the words she saw were diametrically opposed to the pictures, which made Herolia circle around the adjutant before finally standing behind the adjutant and looking at the contents.
It's very cluttered, what's the damn who took my lizard soaking wine again this morning!' ''May I ask which inscription should the mage of the Burning System start with?'' ''Building muscles is the first step to becoming a good spellcaster!'' ’。
There was a dizzying array of information that Hloria didn't know where to look.
"Spellcaster Forum."
The lieutenant glanced at the location in the lower right corner showing the time, and there was a post in the caster's forum that briefly described the functions of the web, and one of the posts mentioned the concept of 'network connection and speed'.
The lieutenant usually stays in Nolan's chapel, and the signal in the lower right corner of his place shows that it is barely three squares, but when he arrives, it has completely changed to a pattern of two warning colors, gray and red.
These two colors reminded him... The internet is off.
He's recently gotten into the habit of posting on the caster's forums every day after he prays, and the internet outage is a disaster for him.
However, fortunately, the caster forum is loaded locally, which means that the content in the caster forum will be stored in the user's 'mind', and the post will be updated again when connected to the Internet.
After all, the human brain is a super large-capacity 'hard disk', and of course Qiao Xiu has to make good use of it.
Of course, users can also choose to clear the useless content in the forum with one click.
"The caster... Forum? That is, the parliament, in the form of words? ”
Herolia quickly found the patterns of the text on the caster's forum, and when she found them, the clutter disappeared in an instant.
"Yes, Lord Virgin, Nolan's spellcasters post their opinions and questions to this forum in the form of text, and then other users will soon see and reply."
The lieutenant reached out and clicked on one of the posts, showing it to Hloria.
"Everyone is anonymous on this forum?"
Herolia noticed that neither the poster nor the replyer's name looked more like a code name of sorts.
"Anonymity, people rarely know each other's identities."
This is one of the reasons the lieutenant likes the Spellcaster's forum, where he can talk to anyone on an equal footing as long as he doesn't violate the 'User Agreement'.
He also enjoys the feeling of communicating with other people on the forum, showing his real thoughts and opinions, and... Send those funny dwarven emotes, and a new one that has recently been added, which is simply a yellow face than a dwarf.
One of the emotes, called 'Funny', is currently popular in the caster forums.
"It's... Amusing. ”
After listening to the adjutant's narration, the holy woman Helolia suddenly smiled self-deprecatingly.
"The Holy Virgin's Temple... Your Highness... I... I'm not sure ......"
The lieutenant instantly realized that he seemed to be a little carried away, and although no one in Nolan had come forward to claim that he was the creator of the magic web, the lieutenant could guess that this was also the work of the demon.
"You don't need to panic, I just think it's a little ironic."
"Sarcasm?"
"The canon left by the god has always hoped that his disciples can tolerate each other and build a world where all people are equal, but the church has spent thousands of years not doing it, but a demon has fulfilled the god's wish first, although the heat is only spiritual, you say... Isn't that ironic? ”
Herolia glanced at the adjutant, who could only bow his head and not know how to answer, or dare not answer.
The Holy Maiden was the only one who dared to criticize the Church and the gods in this way, and if these words had come out of his mouth, he would have been put to death on charges of slander.
"Don't look down, so I can't see what's on the caster's forum."
"It's... Holy Maiden. ”
Herolia glanced at what users were talking about on the caster's forum.
Several replies were so interesting that she couldn't help but want to get involved.
"How do I get back to them?" Herolia asked again.
"This... At present, the coverage of the magic net is only in Nolan, and the Holy City cannot receive the information of the magic net, and the content you see is stored a few hours ago. ”
The adjutant gave the Virgen Herolia an explanation according to the 'instructions for using the magic net'.
"In the Holy City, can you only view the past and not join the discussion? There are no church-related posts on this forum. ”
Herolia could already vaguely guess the reason for Cheryl's defection.
Under the order of the Holy Maiden, the adjutant immediately found a post he was most familiar with on the caster's forum, that is, the "Diary of a Heresy Inquisitor", the number of replies to the diary has officially exceeded 1,000, and it is hung at the top of the 'Immovable Library'.
"Sister Scottan, what a name for a long time, is that why you defected? Cheryl. ”
Herolia had already gotten the information she wanted, and she looked away from the interface of the magic net, and at that moment a ball of light floated onto Herolia's shoulder.
The orb of light was some kind of living creature, and it whispered a few words in Herolia's ear before it turned into a bits of light and vanished.
"You'll be back to Nolan in three days and be the guide in the crusade against that demon."
"Three... Three days later? ”
The lieutenant was a little surprised to hear the news, the portal to Nolan had been completely closed, and he wanted to return unless he walked from the Holy City to Nolan on foot.
However, this distance takes more than three months even to ride a horse, and this is assumed that there are no emergencies on the road.
"There seems to be a special teleportation array in the basement of Nolan's church...... I have only one commission now, to bring back a primordial crystal that carries the 'magic net', and to find out if there is a way to connect the magic net across borders. ”
Herolia was sure that 'Sister Stanko' was the defected Cheryl.
As a saint, it is not a special circumstance, and she can't leave the holy city without permission, so if she wants to contact Cheryl, she can only rely on this magical net.
"This is the activity fund, you want to stay in Nolan and do as much as possible to complete the tasks I have given you."
The golden inscription appeared on Herolia's fingertips, and she waved the inscription, and a pile of gold coins and jewels floated in front of the adjutant's eyes, and the adjutant quickly stretched out his hands to catch them.
"Otherwise, I might introduce you to become an ascetic."
"Ascetics... Holy Maiden...... I... I see. ”
The adjutant held the gold coins and jewels in his hand, but his heart was miserable, the so-called ascetic is a person who dedicates himself to the gods wholeheartedly, although his status is very high, but his life is extremely hard......
But in the face of this commission, the adjutant had no right to refuse at all, because he had already accepted the bribe from Heloria.
He looked at the smile on the face of the Holy Lady Herolia, a smile that in the eyes of her followers was no less than bathing in the radiance of the gods.
But in the adjutant's opinion, it is no different from a demon at all!
Really... It's a temptation from a demon!
………………
Hearthstone Tavern, inside the Hall of Silence.
"That's what you do, any questions?"
Joshua took a few minutes to explain to Pruk what the 'Nolan Voice' does, and what he needs to be responsible for.
The Faceless Demon has a good voice, probably related to his race, and as a Faceless Demon with the title of Fraudster, if his voice is unpleasant, it is estimated that few people will listen to the demon's instigation.
In "This Demon Is Not Too Cold", Prucker went directly to the original sound, and the slightly hoarse bass attracted many female audiences who came to watch the movie.
"New... Sniff? ”
Pruk pronounced a very unfamiliar word in a slow tone.
Ever since he stepped into the Hearthstone Tavern, he had been exposed to many unfamiliar words, and Jossiu had already explained to Pruk what he was doing.
It is to arrive at the Hearthstone Tavern on time at nine o'clock every morning, sit in the silent hall and narrate the news content on the script.
Prucker knew the human language, and it was not difficult for him to spend ten minutes a day reading a manuscript.
But this time, Qiao Xiu hired not only him, but also all the members of the Black Dove behind him.
"News can be understood as valuable information, that is, what the members of your Black Dove have been doing, informing all the residents of Nolan about some important or interesting things that have happened to Nolan recently through the voice of Nolan at the first time."
Qiao Xiu gave the fraudster an explanation that he could understand.
"You mean to give the information to all the residents of Nolan for free?"
Pruk's comprehension is not bad, but what Qiao Xiu has to do is undoubtedly a loss-making business for professional intelligence dealers like them.
"But Your Highness Qiao Xiu, you won't get anything this way...... The intelligence collected by the Black Dove has enough value for some of Nolan's spellcasters to pay a fortune to buy, and you will lose all of that value. ”
Pruck's seniority in this organization is longer than that of the current leader, the Dark Elf Thousand Faces, and he clearly knows that even if the Black Dove belongs to the low-level organization of Nolan's dark side, it is not visible.
But because of this, some businessmen who do business in Nolan, in order to hold the handle of their opponents, will not hesitate to find black pigeons to buy the other party's information.
Intelligence is a commodity for the black pigeon, and what Qiao Xiu did was completely equivalent to giving away these commodities for free.
"Pruck, if I do this, I will get close to 10,000 people in all of Nolan... Or an audience of 100,000 people. ”
It was only at this moment that Qiao Xiu showed something called 'ambition' to this fraudster.
"Imagine that they open the magic net and turn on the voice of Nolan, and every morning they can know the latest things happening in Nolan through your narrative, whether it is an unbelievable big event or some interesting little news, they can know the latest developments of Nolan for the first time, which is enough for any resident of Nolan to sit down and spend a few minutes to sit down and listen to the news."
Joshua believes that the real attraction of radio is not a musical or a late-night storytelling, but the relaxing news on the radio, where everyone cares about what's going on around them.
"His Highness Qiao Xiu... Does it make sense to do that? ”
Prucker still couldn't understand the meaning or value of doing this, the black pigeon could at least get some gold coins by selling information, but if it was treated as 'news', it wouldn't make any profit.
"The meaning is that there will be hundreds of thousands of people willing to sit quietly and listen to your voice, just like the church mission, in a city there are hundreds of people willing to listen to a missionary......"
“……”
After Pruk listened to Qiao Xiu's simple metaphor, he wiped the cold sweat that overflowed from his forehead.
The fraudster finally understands what the 'Nolan Voice' will do to the world.
"But if you want to hire all the Black Pigeons, you need to wait for Thousand Faces to return to Nolan, and she may not return to the human world in about a week."
Prucker's status among the Black Doves is not high, this is a loose organization, and only the current leader of the Black Dove, the Dark Elf Thousand Faces, can make those members obedient.
"Then wait for her to return and then officially talk about the content of the employment, you can go back now."
Qiao Xiu did not retain the fraudster, since the release of "This Demon Is Not Too Cold", Squirrel Street has been vaguely developing towards a tourist resort, starting with the Black Pigeon Hotel.
If Qiao Xiu makes another movie in the future and makes it a location, maybe it can really be made into a Hollywood.
Pruk practiced a somewhat awkward etiquette to Joe and left the Hearthstone Tavern.
