Chapter 474: Monroe: This must be the great Lord calling us!
On the wide roads of the city, an ornately decorated alchemy car drove by, provoking a burst of exclamations.
Ryan was sitting on the main seat, a little rusty control, although he had only practiced for three days, but for a full-fledged wizard, familiarity with driving was enough!
Cynthia, on the other hand, was staring at the cityscape through the car window.
Night had already fallen, but before the darkness engulfed the city, the street lamps suddenly lit up, and the glow was so bright that it was a little dazzling, shining like the stars in the sky.
"What a nice city!" Cynthia couldn't help but speak out of appreciation.
"That's nature, this is the magic city that belongs to wizards!" Ryan also said proudly.
As a wizard who fled from the Empire to the Kingdom only a few months ago, Ryan was particularly impressed by the changes in this magical city, and he also felt more and more the depth and greatness of magic!
When he joined the Wizarding Mutual Aid Society only to protect himself and resist the witch hunt of the Church, he didn't have much hope of going to the kingdom at all.
After all, the power of the empire and the church is spread all over the continent, and it is a fool's dream to deal with such a behemoth!
However, when he actually arrived in the city of oil, Ryan realized how ridiculous his previous thoughts were.
The wizards of the kingdom have not only created many incredibly powerful alchemy creations, defeated the crusaders of the Church several times, but also possessed the terrifying magic that can wipe out tens of thousands of legions with a single blow and create large swaths of the Deadland!
Most importantly, in the kingdom, wizards don't have to hide in the shadows like rodents as they used to, worrying about witch hunters all day long, facing the fear and strange gaze of the common people.
In the City of Fire and Oil, they can not only perform magic at will, but they are also sought after and revered by almost all civilians, which Ryan has never experienced.
What surprised Ryan even more was that he had such a high talent in the study of magic!
Before, it must have been that the magic environment in the empire was too poor, so it was not enough to play his true level.
Ryan talked eloquently, imagining what the wizards would look like in the future after the council completely wiped out the empire, and maybe he would become a second magic star!
Cynthia ignored Ryan's delusions, but reminded softly. "We're here!"
Ryan, who almost hit the high wall, turned his attention back and hurriedly parked the alchemy cart at the door of the mansion.
The time spent alone all the way ended quietly, and Ryan secretly regretted why he drove so fast, but he didn't delay his business, and led Cynthia directly into the mansion of the great wizard.
Farrell was a man of minimalism, as can be seen from the scenery and decoration of the manor, and if he didn't say it, no one would have thought that this was actually the mansion of a great wizard.
The two crossed a long corridor and stepped into the antechamber, where they soon saw the object of their visit, the Grand Wizard Farrell.
"You're waiting, Master Farrell!" Ryan bowed respectfully.
"It's okay, I've been a little free lately......" Farrell waved his hand to seat the two of them, and the arm that was involved in the wound was aching.
Due to a fight with a beast named Muto a few days ago, he is still in the stage of recuperation.
"I have already asked Speaker Aurora to forward your paper, she has the most profound understanding of astronomy, and it will be up to the speaker to judge the level of these three papers." Farrell said with a smile. "If nothing else, it shouldn't be difficult to get a Morning Star medal."
Ryan endured his excitement and said humbly. "You've won the prize, but I've just made a slight addition to the existing picture of the movement of the stars based on Master Lynn's law of gravitation."
"It's not just a supplement, a Morning Star medal is definitely well deserved!" Farrell said with satisfaction.
Ryan's three papers boldly combine the tidal changes of the oceans with the gravitational influence of the moon, arguing that in the movement of celestial bodies, the moon is not unilaterally captured by the gravitational pull of the continents beneath their feet, but will affect each other.
This is evidenced by the correlation between ocean tides and changes in the phases of the moon, and even the gravitational pull of the moon may affect the rotation of the Eternal Star itself.
These arguments are novel and bold, and they fit well with the law of gravitation proposed by Master Lynn, and the explanation of tidal phenomena in the paper is even more impressive.
This discovery alone is worth a Morning Star Medal!
"However, it may take some more time for the medal to be issued, and several speakers have very important matters to deal with recently, so I am afraid that I will not have time to review your paper for the time being." Farrell said with a little regret.
In the absence of academic seminars, the Parliament will award a corresponding medal only if a research result is approved by the Speaker.
"Let's wait a little longer." Ryan didn't dare to disturb the Lords, as long as he could secure a Morning Star medal, it would be acceptable to wait a few more days.
Farrell nodded, and then looked at the small girl beside Ryan.
"You're Cynthia?" Farrell said in a flat tone, and did not give any preferential treatment because of the other party's good looks. "Tell me, what is the matter with asking Ryan to come and see me?"
"I've made an interesting alchemical artifact a few days ago, so I'd like to ask you to taste it."
Cynthia's voice was pleasant, but the words that came out made Farrell frown.
He didn't think that the witch in front of him had the ability to come up with something new that he could 'taste', and from the moment he entered the door, the other party did not show any respect for him, the great wizard.
Even Ryan couldn't stand it anymore, and frequently gave Cynthia a look, but the latter ignored it at all.
"Then take a look!" Looking at the thin face of Ryan, a magical genius, Farrell temporarily suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart and said in a cold voice.
Alchemy wasn't his best field, but it was okay to mentor a full-fledged wizard!
A smile tugged at the corner of Cynthia's mouth, and she pulled out a palm-sized cube.
"This is ......" Farrell's face suddenly changed, turning into a strong look of surprise, and he hurriedly took it and looked at it.
It was a diamond-shaped crystalline cube, surrounded by complex and delicate runes, and the strong magic fluctuations on it made him secretly frightened.
Farrell was not a master alchemist, but he could see that each side of the cube was inscribed with a powerful and unique spell, and when combined with them, it would burst into even greater power......
"Where did you get it?" Farrell asked with an excited expression.
"This must be the handiwork of a legendary alchemist!"
It's unheard of to use alchemy to put six powerful spells on a palm-sized alchemy creation, and they don't conflict with each other!
Perhaps only Speaker Vittorio could have done such an exaggerated thing!
Could it be that there is another legendary-level alchemist in the empire.
"Of course it's my creation." Cynthia replied casually.
A little disgruntled anger appeared on Farrell's face, and Ryan hurriedly interrupted. "Cynthia, now is not the time to joke, tell Master Farrell where exactly you got it, it may be related to the movements of a legendary alchemist."
"Since you don't believe it, why don't you see its power!" Cynthia suddenly reached out and brushed the cube in Farrell's palm.
A powerful and terrifying aura emerged from the lens, and the runes engraved on one side of the crystal suddenly lit up, and the mansion they were living in turned into a void in an instant.
Farrell sensed that something was wrong the moment the cube was activated, but countless magical threads had already rolled up from the crystal plane on the other side, firmly binding him who could not react.
"Who the hell are you?" Farrell's face became extremely ugly, and the girl in front of him could never be as simple as a formal wizard.
What made him even more horrified was that his realm was suppressed, and those magical threads burrowed into his body like writhing maggots, devouring his flesh, magic and even his soul.
"Are you crazy? Cynthia? Ryan was horrified, the sudden change in the situation on the field had already exceeded his comprehension, and at this moment he even wondered if he was still in a dream......
After completely stopping Farrell, Cynthia was free to turn to Ryan.
The violet-like eyes were full of indifference, like a basin of cold water, extinguishing the other party's desire that obscured reason.
"You actually took refuge in the church, sneaked into the city of fire oil to approach and tempt me, just to get information from the council......" Ryan, who came to his senses, only felt a chill rush from the soles of his feet to his heart, and immediately figured everything out.
But in this realm of nothingness, even Farrell, who is a great wizard, has been suppressed by some of his strength, and Ryan, who is only a formal wizard, is even more difficult to do with his fingers, and resisting is an extremely extravagant thing.
"Temptation?" Ryan made Cynthia's brows furrow slightly, and then said with a cold gaze. "You deserve it too?"
Ryan's pupils constricted, but before he could reply, he felt the air around him seem to turn into a steel knife, and the next moment, with his confusion, unwillingness, and dreams, he was twisted into a pile of rotten flesh by the elements of the riot, and finally burned by the ignited sparks......
Cynthia's face turned flat again, as casually as if she had just pinched an ant to death.
Ryan's guess is just a boring fantasy, she went to the city of fire oil to investigate the cause of death of the last incarnation, but she didn't expect Ryan to post it inexplicably.
A tool delivered to the door, Cynthia naturally will not refuse to use it.
In contrast, Ryan, who is innocent and can withstand the inspection of the council, is more suitable to be put on the bright side.
As for the other party's so-called magic genius, it was the result of her using enlightenment to strengthen and instill some astronomical knowledge and inspiration, otherwise how could the other party suddenly write a paper that was enough to alarm the council?
In a few moments of dealing with Ryan, Farrell, who was bound by the magic thread, had been drawn into a dried corpse!
Based on the powerful soul body of the Great Wizard, Farrell still retains a slight consciousness, but this only aggravates the torture, and he can only watch Cynthia approach, with fear, anger and despair in his heart.
【Soul Search】
Cynthia stepped forward and placed her hand on top of Farrell's head, and the other hand held the cube, and as the spell unleashed, fragments of memories suddenly appeared in her mind.
As a great wizard and a core member of the council, Farrell knows a lot.
For example, wizards have recently discovered many new elements, and the council is using electromagnetic waves to communicate.
There is also the fact that several Speakers have been busy with a very important matter lately, for which the Assembly has mobilized almost all its strength......
It's a pity that Farrell's alchemy level is not outstanding among the great wizards, so he was assigned other tasks and did not participate in them.
After searching together, Cynthia quickly found what she wanted, the location where the presiding judge Joshua was held!
Just beneath the headquarters of the Wizarding Council, it is usually guarded by a grand wizard, and Farrell has secretly served as a guard for a while.
After learning enough information, Cynthia extracted Farel's soul completely.
The whole process went smoothly and no one else bothered me.
After all, when she solved Farrell, she used alchemy to cast spells, and she didn't use magic skills, so naturally she wouldn't be searched by the detection enchantment that covered the whole city.
It is normal for a great wizard's mansion to have strong fluctuations in magical power, whether it is experimenting with magic or researching and making various utensils, it requires a lot of magical power.
After quietly disposing of the attendants and guards in the manor, Cynthia left Farrell's mansion alone.
At the same time, the believers of the gods who infiltrated the city of fire oil all received the revelation at the same time!
Monroe was even more excited beyond words.
"It is the Lord, the Great Lord who is calling us!" Monroe was so excited that he was about to cry, he didn't think that he could still receive God's revelation after two consecutive errors of judgment caused the church to suffer a heavy blow to the power of the Kingdom!
This is undoubtedly salvation in despair!
For the great Lord did not forsake Himself!
At this moment, the chagrin and self-blame in Monroe's heart turned into a strong sense of mission, and he must repay this trust with actions, no matter what the price is!
Just as Monroe was in a frenzied state, Ivina beside him showed a look of worry, vaguely remembering the news of the outbreak of the evil god plague in the northern part of the kingdom in the evening.
How could it be so coincidental......
(PS: This book has no heroine, no whitewashing, every villain before has his own story, whether it is Hellam or the evil mage Merck, there is a lot of pen and ink, and Ella is of course no exception.) )
