Chapter 463: Monroe: I'm really not an undercover agent sent by a wizard!
Under Monroe's continuous explanation, Jarvis also nodded in approval, such a powerful destruction comparable to a natural disaster, even he can't do it, and a mere great wizard will never release such a powerful magic!
However, if it is a natural disaster, there are some things that make sense.
Within the Empire, common natural disasters can be roughly divided into earthquakes, thunderstorms, hurricanes, droughts, floods, and meteorite falls......
The first few obviously didn't correspond, only the scene of the meteorite falling was barely similar, but he sent someone to ask the Imperial soldiers who had escaped.
It was night, and if a meteorite had fallen from the sky, it would have been very clear!
"I suspect this could be the result of an underground volcanic eruption!" Monroe guessed.
During this time, in order to gather information, he read all the previous issues of the magic daily, and keenly noticed that a few months ago, the magic star had published an extremely important paper on it - [On the Causes of Earthquakes - The Effects of Continental Plate and Underground Magmatic Activity]!
Although Monroe didn't understand it at all, it mentioned a natural disaster called a volcanic eruption.
It is said that due to the movement of the earth's crust, the magma in the abyss of hell flows out along the cracks in the earth's surface, causing a terrible disaster, which can turn a radius of more than ten miles into a lava hell.
"It's very likely!" Jarvis said with a deep groan.
Recently, those wizards have clearly had the upper hand but still can't shrink back, and this anomaly is indeed very confusing to him.
If it is according to Monroe's guess, it immediately makes sense, the other party is bluffing, so as to delay time to create more weapons of war......
Thinking of this, Yalvis felt the need to launch a tentative attack to determine the reality of the opponent!
Seeing that the Pope agreed with his opinion, Monroe was also deeply encouraged, and soon confided in the second important information, that is, the loopholes in the wizards' defenses!
It has to be said that the Parliament's means of monitoring the entire kingdom by arranging a large number of airships as eyes are indeed very difficult, and it is almost impossible to enter the country on a large scale without being detected.
There is one exception though!
That's the Dead Territory outside the City of Oil!
There are no guards left in this area, and only a few airships pass by from a distance, so that they can avoid the detection of wizards at night with the help of night and magic.
"But I've heard that this area of the dead has a place where even official wizards can't protect against radiation, and even after a few months, it hasn't completely dispersed." Pope Yalves said with a frown.
"This is also stated in the paper......," Monroe hurriedly explained, and when the volcano erupts, it also emits a large amount of toxic gases, which accumulate in the sky to form terrifying clouds of dust, sometimes even lasting for months, which may be what the wizards call radiation!
There are also ways to deal with it, such as wearing a mask or goggles to cover your fragile eyes, and using a damp cloth to protect your mouth and nose......
Of course, if you go too deep or stay too long, even if you have protection, you will inevitably cause serious damage to the body.
As the saying goes, the most dangerous place is the safest place, and Jarvis naturally knows this.
There was no way that they would launch a surprise attack from this place!
"You've done a good job, Monroe, although there were some problems with the last plan, I can't completely blame you......" Jarvis said with relief, praising Monroe's intelligence gathering and analysis skills, and asking him to keep an eye on the situation inside the kingdom.
The three-minute time limit was quickly reached, and after the end of the communication, Jarvis did not rush to issue the order, but turned his head to look at Saint Randall on the side.
"What do you think of Monroe's guess, and how credible is it?"
"I don't think those wizards are capable of casting such powerful magic." Saint Randall said categorically, but such a major matter, even the slightest possibility needs to be considered, otherwise once it causes a miscalculation, the consequences will be unimaginable.
So after a pause, Randall continued to speak. "Didn't Her Majesty the Holy Maiden ever face this so-called Great Nuclear Explosion? She should know best. ”
The quickest and most accurate way to do this is, of course, to ask!
Pope Jarvis was silent for a moment and did not reply.
"Or is Her Majesty not in the Holy City right now?" Randall immediately realized this, and a slight look of dissatisfaction appeared on his face.
Such important news, Yalvis did not reveal it to himself at all, and just allowed the incarnation of the Lord to leave the protection of the Holy City.
It is difficult to say how much power the Lord can exert when he has just changed the carrier of consciousness......
"Her Majesty has her own plans, it's not for me to interfere, we just need to do what we have to do, it's enough!" Jarvis's indifferent remarks stopped Randall's thoughts of continuing to ask, and he quickly made a decisive statement.
"Tell me to go down, use the fastest magic to send a message, and let Tessis, who is stationed on the border of the empire, lead the team to test whether those wizards are bluffing."
Randall opened his mouth, as if to say something, but nodded anyway. "I see!"
……
On the other side, in the city of oil, the academy of wizarding institutes, Monroe, who had interrupted the communication, walked out of the room quite tiredly.
Outside the door, Ivina was still the same as last time, leaning against the white wall, looking at the wind for Monroe, but her energy was focused on the magic daily newspaper in front of her, and when she saw Monroe come out, she put down the newspaper in her hand and asked if there was a new order for the Pope to communicate this time.
Monroe hesitated for a moment, in fact, Ivina's partner had been somewhat dissatisfied with his recent performance, and he actually began to study the experiments of those wizards, saying that he wanted to reproduce the free fall and pendulum experiments that the magic star had done to see if it was true or not.
This is a very red flag!
It's not fun to learn more about wizards, and it's easy to be fooled by the taboo knowledge if you're not careful.
However, the relationship between him and Ivina is not superior-superior, and Monro has no way to force the girl to give up these unrealistic ideas, and in the academy, he has to rely on Evena's knowledge of the forbidden field to complete the annoying coursework.
Monroe sighed secretly, and finally decided to believe this partner, after all, she was recommended by Lord Gustav, and she had sold food to the council on her own initiative, and she had indeed heard some useful news, so she briefly explained the content of the discussion just now.
When Monroe heard Monroe talk about the wizards' so-called Great Nuclear Explosion, which was likely just a volcanic eruption caused by the movement of magma underground, and that the magic star was probably just bluffing to buy more time for the war, Evenna's face suddenly became very strange.
"What's wrong?" Monroe keenly noticed the change in the expression on the girl's face, and couldn't help frowning, and asked.
Evena handed over the newspaper in her hand. "This is today's Magic Daily, just sent by the elves a minute ago."
Monroe held back his uneasiness, took the Magic Daily, and glanced at it a few times.
Evena also spoke up at this point to explain. "Those wizards did not launch a large-scale counteroffensive for more than two months, but to improve the Great Nuclear Explosion, and now it is said that it has been completed, and the power is about eight times higher than before, and the radiation problem caused by the Great Nuclear Explosion is eliminated......"
Monroe had just read a report in the Magic Daily about the Magic Star's improvements to the nuclear explosion technique, and he was stunned by Ivina's words.
How much? Eight times more powerful?!
Monroe's mind was stunned, and then he couldn't help but speak. "Ridiculous! This must be the rumors that those wizards have put out to intimidate us......"
Although he had not personally witnessed the power of the nuclear explosion, he could get a glimpse of the land of death created by its aftermath, which was absolutely unimaginably powerful.
You're telling me now that it's eight times more powerful?!
"There's no need for them to lie, because the magic star who developed this spell is preparing to experiment with it in public and eliminate the radiation problem in the land of the dead, and time is ...... Just tonight! Ivina said solemnly.
There is no need for the council to tell a lie that will be directly debunked in a few hours!
Monroe's face changed suddenly, could it be that his guess was wrong, those wizards could really cast a magic that was terrifying enough to destroy the city and destroy the country?
"Wait." Monroe suddenly realized a more serious problem, and he eagerly grabbed Ivina's shoulders and asked with red eyes. "You said those wizards were going to experiment with this magic tonight, and in that place of the dead?"
"Not bad." Evena nodded, not understanding why Monroe had suddenly become so agitated.
Before she could ask, Monroe rushed back into the house like the wind and rummaged through the crystal ball of communication.
"Quick...... Come on! Connect me! Monroe's face was extremely anxious, and he gripped and even shook the communicator in his hand, and he didn't know anything about alchemy and electromagnetism, and he didn't know how to charge this thing at all.
In a hurry, he could only infuse all the magic power in his body into the crystal ball.
Before they traveled to the City of Fire Oil to become the Inner Commander, Master Gustav infused them with demonic powers through a strange potion to pass the test of the wizards.
Only after completing the task can the demonic power be completely removed during the baptismal ceremony.
Under the continuous infusion of magic power, the crystal ball trembled slightly, and a trace of joy immediately appeared on Monroe's face, and he immediately increased his strength.
After about three minutes, the crystal ball, which had been forcibly infused with a large amount of magical power, finally ......
Exploded!
……
Just as Monroe was in an endless collapse, the streets of the City of Fire Oil were already filled with people who came to see the excitement.
"Have you heard? The wizards are preparing to pull the sun down in the sky, just like they did more than two months ago! A short, stocky man said with excitement on his face.
The knowledgeable vendor beside him sneered and spoke. "This is Master Lynn's magic, it should be called the Great Nuclear Explosion Technique, and it has nothing to do with the sun in the sky......"
"That's the sun, my grandfather saw Master Lynn fly into the sky and beat down the scorching sun on the sky!" A small-looking boy swore to correct him.
"It's ridiculous, where does the sun come from at night?" The vendor laughed angrily.
"That's because...... Because the planet under our feet is round, he must have flown to the other side of the continent! The boy still insisted that the wizards must have thrown the sun out of the sky.
Discussions and arguments rang out everywhere in the city of Oil, and under the publicity of the Magic Daily, almost everyone in the city learned that Lynn, known as the Star of Magic, was going to experiment with new magic tonight.
Naturally, there are many people who are interested in this, whether it is a wizard or the lords of the City of Oil, as long as they can spare a little free time, no one will want to miss this grand occasion.
Even many of the kingdom's lords came by train to watch.
In order to avoid the tragedy of hundreds of thousands of blind people in the city of fire and oil, the alchemists of the council have slightly improved the protective barrier covering the entire city, increasing the isolation of dangerous radiation, and greatly reducing the impact of bright light.
"It's Master Lynn!"
A few hours later, someone in the crowd suddenly shouted loudly, and everyone present looked inside, wanting to catch a glimpse of the magic star.
Lynn was still wearing a daily wizard's robe, and did not prepare for the grand majority of this scene, but only took some time out of the experiment to do a small cleanup of the place of the dead outside the city of fire oil, and by the way, to deter those with bad intentions.
A rather strange monster on his side followed impatiently, his hair fluttering in the wind like a flame, and flicking his tail proudly, feeling very dissatisfied with the inexplicable noise of these two-legged beasts.
Naturally, Muto had little interest in such a scene, preferring to stay on the grass of the manor, lazily waiting for the two-legged beasts to bring delicious snacks.
However, Lynn saw that it was too lazy and had not listened to orders much lately, so she forcibly dragged Muto out and prepared to beat it.
Lynn walked up to the city wall step by step, and the wizards along the way retreated one after another, looking at this magic star with a look of reverence in their eyes, the large nuclear explosion created by the other party can be described as the most powerful magic today, and can only be described as a man-made natural disaster!
And today they were finally able to witness this incredibly powerful spell with their own eyes!
