Chapter 473: The Mystery of Faith and the Chaos in the North

"How can people be as fast as light and electricity?"

After hearing Lynn's thoughts, Vittorio suddenly cried and laughed, the speed of 300,000 kilometers per second broke through the limit of his imagination, is that really the speed that a person can achieve?

"Why not?" Lynn asked rhetorically.

In the planet's atmosphere, due to the influence of air resistance, coupled with biological structure problems, it is difficult to break through the speed of 100 kilometers and an hour with flesh and blood.

However, the body of a legendary wizard is not fragile flesh and blood, and in the case of energy, it is minimally affected by wind resistance and the gravity of the planet, and theoretically should be able to reach a very terrifying speed.

Lynn suspected that the initial acceleration might not be enough, and Vittorio still relied on the help of force field magic when he flew, so as to get rid of the influence of the planet's gravity, so he naturally couldn't fly fast.

Or is there something else that's preventing them from pushing their speed to the limit, like souls, mana? Or is it the fear in your heart?

Lynn, who had not yet advanced to the rank of Legendary Wizard, was not sure, and said with a deep groan. "We might as well set a small goal first, such as doubling the speed of sound!"

Harrov and others are no strangers to the concept of the speed of sound, and they have long discovered where this boundary lies.

When the speed of an object exceeds 300 meters per second, it produces an extremely strong sonic boom and the air resistance becomes extremely large, especially when experimenting with electromagnetic guns.

That translates to about 1,200 kilometers per hour!

This means that it takes them less than an hour to run from the easternmost part of the kingdom to the westernmost part!

Vittorio couldn't imagine that he could fly so fast.

Several people were thinking, but the airship slowly descending from the sky interrupted their discussion.

Lynn and the others knew very well that there was nothing important, and no one would take the liberty of bothering at this time.

The airship soon stopped in front of everyone, and came out of Raphael, who was on the turn of parliamentary affairs this week.

"Is there something urgent? Master Raphael? Harrov asked.

"Speakers, we just received an urgent piece of information, which was transmitted by electromagnetic waves!" Without a single word of nonsense, Raphael handed a copy of the translated cipher directly to Haroff.

The latter reached out and took it, and after a few glances, his brow furrowed.

"What's the matter, Haroff?" Aurora asked, puzzled. "Is there any movement in the direction of the Empire?"

"It's a matter of the northern realm of the kingdom, see for yourselves!" Harrov handed the cipher in his hand to a few people.

This is a secret report written by Raeder himself, according to the above explanation, the northern part of the kingdom they have just recovered suddenly broke out in the rebellion of the evil gods, and an entire city has been slaughtered, causing tens of thousands of casualties.

Their little manpower in the northern borders of the kingdom alone was powerless to stop the spread of this catastrophe.

"Lord of Famine and Pestilence......" Aurora whispered the name of the evil god, and then suddenly spoke. Could it be the fugitive nobles who did it? ”

Famine and plague reminded her of the food wars provoked by the nobles of those kingdoms before.

Although the Parliament's strategy of managing food did not affect the eastern, central, and southern regions of the kingdom under their control, there were indeed signs of famine spreading in the western and northern borders under the rule of the nobility.

Is it possible that the high price of food is just a pretense, and the real purpose of the other party is to use this great famine to revive this evil god.

"I'm afraid it's more than that!" Lynn said with a solemn expression. "I suspect this has something to do with Gustav, the Church's Divine Punishment Commander who infiltrated the kingdom."

When he was dealing with King Khattar, Lynn searched for the supporter behind the nobles' rebellion from the other party's memory, one of the top leaders of the church, the legendary clergyman Gustav!

After that, it was as if the other party had disappeared and had not come forward for a long time, and the territory of the kingdom was so large that the council was seriously understaffed, and it was impossible to conduct a carpet search in every place.

can only passively wait for Gustav to take the initiative to jump out.

"It seems that the church is intent on creating chaos everywhere." Vittorio suddenly remembered that some time ago, the council had received a piece of information, and there had been several evil god disasters in the empire, but they would be easily suppressed by the church every time, so he had to think more about whether all the evil gods would be deliberately released by the church!

This is not impossible, the statue of the evil god used in the land of the evil mage Merck Cholera Wizard was brought by a saint, indicating that the church did seal away some of the evil gods who were defeated in the war of faith and kept them for later use.

"But why would they do that?" Aurora asked, slightly confused.

She can still understand the rebellion in the north and the evil god disaster that broke out in the wizarding land last time, that is, she threw the evil god as a special weapon into the enemy's sphere of influence to create a disaster.

But it is a little strange for the other party to indulge the evil god cholera in the territory of the empire.

"I'm afraid the church wants to deepen the faith, right?" Lynn guessed with a twinkle in her eyes.

Belief is an existence that runs through human history, and its principles have long been dissected by various psychological analysts.

Generally speaking, the more chaotic and impoverished the place, the easier it is to grow the denomination.

After all, the low-class poor have nothing, often suffer from bullying and injustice, and sometimes add physical pain, so they can only pin all their hopes on God!

And the quickest way to catalyze faith is to create a great calamity, and when everyone is desperate, to quell the calamity in the name of God, and preferably to show some miracles, naturally you can harvest a large number of devout believers.

Therefore, apocalypticism is also a common means of propaganda in various religions.

It is precisely because of the end times that we need to believe in God more devoutly, so as to avoid catastrophe!

But now is obviously not the time to think about why the church is releasing a large number of evil gods, and the chaos in the north of the kingdom must be dealt with as soon as possible!

The sooner the better!

Every famous evil god has a legendary-level strength, and if the other party is allowed to perform a large number of blood sacrifices and completely regain their former strength, it will become extremely difficult to deal with.

"Why don't you just let me go!" Vittorio said eagerly.

Since breaking through the realm, Vittorio is worried that he has no chance to show his skills, and when he fights with Lynn and others, he is also restrained and does not dare to do his best, which makes him very unhappy, and now he has finally found an object that can test his strength without any scruples!

Not to mention that now that the Church and the Empire are eyeing each other, the chaos in the North is likely a strategy to induce them to divide their forces.

Therefore, the best solution is for him to go to the north alone and cooperate with Raeder and others to directly solve this riot!

"With my speed, an hour and a half from the City of Fire Oil to the northern border of the kingdom is enough, if it goes well, the problem can be solved in one day, and I will probably be back tomorrow night!" Vittorio said casually.

"Don't be too careless, this might be a trap to lure us in!" Harrov reminded cautiously.

Traveling to the North will not only be a rebellion of the gods, but also Gustav hiding in the shadows, which means that you may face two Legendary-level opponents.

"It's okay, it's just an evil god who hasn't fully recovered yet, plus a pseudo-legend." Vittorio said with a scoff.

The souls of more than 10,000 people are not enough to restore an evil god to its peak state, and it should not be too difficult to deal with an enemy who is confused.

As for the legendary clergy of the church, although they also possess energy bodies, Vittorio has conducted some in-depth research on the presiding judge these days, and found that the other party's state is very strange, and the power he uses comes entirely from the false god [Ella].

Judging from their previous experience, it is likely that Gustav will only be able to exert his legendary level power if he casts the Kingdom of God and uses the Holy Word.

In a way, it's just a pseudo-legend!

In the face of such an opponent, even with the addition of an awakened evil god, Vittorio still has full confidence to defeat him!

Although Lynn and the others felt that Vittorio was a bit overbearing, they also understood that this was indeed the best solution.

In this way, the city of fire and oil can save most of its power to deter the empire and the church, and the most important thing is that Vittorio is acting alone very secretively, go and return quickly, maybe the church has not reacted, and the matter has been resolved.

"Anyway, you'd better be careful, if you don't fall into a trap, we'll have to save you......," Aurora quipped.

"Hahaha, how is this possible?" Vittorio laughed, and without delay, his embodied body turned into a streamer of light and flew into the sky.

Lynn shook his head, he remembered that Vittorio had always been very cautious, and after breaking through the legend, he seemed to become a little frizzy.

Could it be the effect of human hormones?

There is no aging body, so the mentality is back to young?

Lynn thought so, but he didn't worry too much, they now have mastered the electromagnetic communication technology, even if they are hundreds of kilometers apart, they can quickly communicate with each other without any big mistakes.

With Vittorio supporting the North, Haroff and Aurora were a little relieved, and turned to look at Lynn and asked.

"Has the ritual circle for the promotion of legends been repaired? How long will it take to start again? ”

After practicing with Vittorio for a few days, the two of them felt more and more the power of the legendary realm, and their desire for promotion naturally became stronger and stronger.

"It's basically been repaired, and Speaker Vittorio has made some improvements to the formation, and now it's just the fuel for fusion." Lynn hesitated to explain.

Although nuclear fusion claims to provide endless clean energy, it still consumes fuel in the end.

It's just that this fuel is enough to be obtained from seawater, and for the earth in the previous life, not considering the energy consumption of future interstellar travel, it is enough for all mankind to use it for hundreds of millions of years!

However, the amount of deuterium and tritium in seawater is really limited, and the combined efforts of hundreds of wizards in the council who are proficient in thunder magic have almost dried up the entire lake, and they have not yet been able to pump out the second promotion of nuclear fuel.

Now it is considering whether to build a deuterium and tritium extraction station on the surface of the sea for the wizards to advance in the future.

"Then we have to wait a little longer!" Harrov said regretfully, he knew that the Thunder Wizards had done their best, and he couldn't force them to be faster.

After finishing this sparring session, Lynn and the others chatted all the way back to the City of Oil, and the bustling scene in the city gradually diluted the worries of several people about the affairs of the north.

Raphael looked at the neatly arranged concrete houses that had been newly built, the imposing and beautiful train platforms, and the smiling crowds on the smooth and wide roads, and a smile appeared on his face.

A few months ago under the control of the Church, this area was a slum that can only be described as filthy and poor, and the poor did not have enough food and clothing, but now it has become the most eye-catching area in the whole city.

With the full support of the Parliament, the rapid development of the entire Fire Oil City is not enough to describe, and it is heard that many border imperial lords have recently secretly crossed the border and fled from various mountains and forests to the territory of the kingdom, choosing to make a living here.

Raphael, who witnessed the changes in it, was also full of pride in his heart, this is the power of magic!

Lynn, who has a very keen sense of hearing, listened to the gossip and discussions of the townspeople in the city in their spare time, and the most enthusiastic topic was naturally the clerk exam a few days ago.

There are a total of 2,000 people in the city to participate, and more than 200 grassroots managers need to be selected from them, and the probability of ten to one is not low, even if they do not perform well in the exam, they may be selected.

To Lynn's surprise, there were many people discussing the evil god plague that broke out in the north of the kingdom!

Did news from the North reach the City of Fire Oil so quickly?

Lynn couldn't help frowning, you must know that this news came directly through electromagnetic wave communication, and they should be the fastest to receive the news!

Is the wizard in charge of communications leaking the news?

Or is someone deliberately spreading the ......

"Tell me to go down and strengthen vigilance in the past two days!" Lynn pondered for a long time before opening her mouth to command.

……

Night, the city of oil.

An ornately decorated alchemy car slowly pulled up to the door of the wizarding academy, attracting a wave of astonishment and envy.

"Please, Lady Cynthia!" Ryan opened the car door rather gentlemanly and stretched out his hand to invite.

For tonight's 'private meeting', Ryan deliberately changed out of the standard robes distributed by the academy and bought a new set of costumes - outer robes, inner lining, trousers and a pair of high shoes, which is the new fashion for the wizards of the kingdom recently!

Of course, if the alchemy car in front of you was bought by yourself instead of rented, it would be perfect!

However, Cynthia was not too satisfied with his earnest behavior, and said softly. "I remember I said that this time I was going to visit Master Farrell, and there was no need to go through this trouble."

"It's nothing, in fact, that's how I go out on weekdays." Ryan smiled heartily, but his heart was dripping blood.

In order to lease this latest alchemy car, he spent a full sixty magic gold coins and rented it for three days to practice his driving skills, and now he is on the verge of bankruptcy.

But he believes it's all worth it!
