Knowing the good news that the Moon God was about to recover, and getting the design drawings of the musket, the nobles and priests who had been confused since the collapse of the church and the fall of the empire saw the dawn of hope.

"The next thing we need to do is to continue to grow the [Moon Watchers] and select from the officials, merchants, and even commoners who still believe in the Great Moon God...... Only more and more devout prayer can show the Lord the sincerity of our repentance! Bishop Saidek said solemnly.

This is not an easy task, because for more than five years, those cunning wizards have used money, materials, land purchases and other means in vain to corrupt the faith in the hearts of the lords of the empire.

Fortunately, the rule of the empire and the church for thousands of years is still deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and many commoners are very poor in spirit while receiving abundant supplies, and they are eager for the great Lord to redeem themselves!

Those sorcerers only conquered the flesh of these people, but did not really occupy their hearts, and the world is nostalgic for the grandeur of the aristocracy and the church ruling the entire continent together!

Therefore, within the empire, there are still many people who secretly worship the god of the moon, but they dare not pray openly due to the cruelty and persecution of the wizards!

Tylar and other nobles echoed Saidek's words, talking about how to build a large musket factory and mobilize the people against the sorcerer's rule.

Listening to everyone's serious discussion on how to counterattack the Magic Kingdom, a young Imperial Viscount in the corner had a strange look on his face and almost burst out laughing.

Pym is a viscount of the Empire, but also a member of the Dark Guard, responsible for clearing the kingdom of all threats.

Of course, the identity of this nobleman is not fake, otherwise he would not have been able to infiltrate the [Moon Mochier] organization so easily, but Pym had already seen the inevitable failure of the empire and the church, so he made a bet early and decisively changed the court.

The hereditary titles and lands were all taken away as a price, but the family's wealth was preserved, and more importantly, the council did not restrict anyone from becoming a wizard and learning magic!

With a knowledge reserve far higher than that of civilians, coupled with the power of the magic web, Pym became an official wizard very smoothly.

Powerful magic, all kinds of novel alchemical creations, these are all new experiences that you can't enjoy before.

Whether it is travel or life, it is a hundred times more comfortable than when you are a nobleman!

It's just that people's greed is always endless, Pym, naturally, wants to go one step further and become a great wizard!

This means greater power, a longer lifespan, and the possibility of reaching the heart of the council!

It's just that Pym knows very well that his knowledge is far from outstanding, and the only thing he can count on is to get a high enough merit, which is why he left behind a decent and comfortable life to become a secret guard.

The Moon Gazers are his target, and Pym infiltrates them to find out what amazing plot this gathering remnant of the Empire is planning.

The result made him extremely disappointed, and that's it...... That's it?!

Pym was sure that if these men had seen how the Council had captured the Holy City, they would never have the ridiculous idea of using muskets to organize civilians to counterattack the Magic Kingdom.

It's just that due to the need for military training and the lack of opponents, they use conventional weapons when attacking the major cities of the empire, that is, muskets and cannons!

Even so, without the support of the Church, the so-called elite of the empire was vulnerable to firearms.

The so-called imperial capital also fell after only holding out for three days, and this is because they did not let go of the bombing, for fear of hurting the civilians.

It seems that this conservatism has led some people to come up with some unrealistic ideas, thinking that relying on old firearms technology can threaten the kingdom, which is simply a fool's dream!

Realizing that this organization is just a bunch of idiots with brain problems and still immersed in the fantasies of the past, Pym is disappointed, and it seems that the expected major feats are only about to fly.

However, regarding the 'awakening' of the god of the moon, the clergy of the church need to report it as soon as possible to regain mastery of the divine arts.

They were talking loudly, and the nobles and priests had no idea that there was a traitor among them.

A tall and thin little nobleman seemed to have suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly reminded him. "Bishop, I've heard that the wizards have recently made up something called the Video Stone, which is being shown on a loop throughout the kingdom to defile the Great Lord and preach the rule of the Council and the wizards!"

"Video Stone?! What is this again? Saidek couldn't help frowning, wary of the strange creations made by wizards.

"It's like an opera, and it's going to be shown in town tonight." The little nobleman said hesitantly.

Hearing that it was similar to an opera, Sedek's face suddenly showed a slight look of contempt.

He naturally knew that opera originated from the stories sung by bards, such as what kind of warriors slay dragons, down-and-out nobles won the appreciation of big people, and then went to the pinnacle of life.

Some paupers, merchants, and petty aristocrats were very enthusiastic about it, but in Saidek's view, it was just a script written by bards to satisfy the imaginations of the lower classes, and it was not at all on the stage!

However, considering the fanfare of the wizards, Saidek looked at the crowd and told them to find out what the council was up to if they had time tonight.

……

In the evening, the old nobles, who had finished their gatherings, left the secret passages of the farm in turn, and such a large gathering of people could easily arouse suspicion if discovered.

You must know that the council has offered a very high bounty for the capture of the remnants of the empire and the church.

Many untouchables who had completely turned their backs on the gods were eager to report and report suspicious objects to the local affairs officer, so even if the farm was contracted for dozens of miles, they had to carefully split up.

Tilal was one of the last to walk out of the manor, and he was still a little reluctant to step out of the door, because here he was the Grand Count of the Empire, the future king of Hadratta, and once he walked out of this door, he turned back into the ordinary worker.

Tyral only hopes that the great Moon God will awaken as soon as possible and restore the glory of the Empire.

Secretly returning to the town, the vigilant Tyral immediately noticed the difference, and a huge poster was posted on the gate of the town, instantly drawing his attention.

The poster shows a white-robed, hideous-looking priest holding a scepter aloft, opposite Yaoyao, a male witch surrounded by flames, storms, and ice.

Tilar could see at a glance that this was a death-and-death duel between the bishop of the Church and a shaman...... It seems to be related to those low-level pariahs, which makes people think about it.

The poster is also very finely shot, whether it is a powerful magic technique, a gorgeous magic, or even the wrinkles and expressions on the faces of several people are clearly visible, as if this duel is happening in front of them.

Tylar knew that it was what wizards called optical photography, the ability to record what was happening.

The cover of the Daily Magical uses the same magic, and even ignorant civilians believe that wizards have put frozen time in the photographs.

Tyral wouldn't believe such outrageous claims, especially since major cities sell alchemical artifacts called cameras, which can take a lifelike photo at the touch of a switch.

It costs 50 gold to buy a camera, which is not something that ordinary civilians can afford!

And this poster is like a super enlarged version of the photo, even if Tyral, who was not very interested in movies before, couldn't help but be a little curious at the moment, hesitated for a moment, and then walked in the direction indicated by the poster.

The movie screening location was chosen in the widest and eye-catching square, and the ticket price was not expensive, only one silver coin was needed, which was equivalent to a few days' wages for the lords of the kingdom, and it was not a problem to grit your teeth and take the whole family to watch it, which also meant that the number of people watching the movie was unimaginable.

Almost the entire town of people arrived, tens of thousands of people gathered in the small square, the five thousand chairs prepared in advance were not enough at all, and there was not so much space for seats, and the rest could only stand and watch the movie.

The leaders who were on the periphery and were blocked from view desperately squeezed inside, but there were also some smart people who brought their own mats, standing taller than the other, and hundreds of children even climbed to the eaves overhead, which was the best place to watch the movie!

With his excellent physical fitness, Tilar squeezed to the front in the midst of a lot of abuse, and although there was no seat, he could clearly see the scene ahead.

In the center of the square is a large area that has been deliberately vacated, and there are no opera singers in sight, not even a stage, and the only thing that can be seen is nine projection stones suspended in mid-air.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Sean, who was in charge of the screening, asked people to stop selling tickets, then cleared his throat, cast a amplification spell, and shouted loudly.

"Silence!"

The loud sound like a bell instantly overwhelmed the chatter of tens of thousands of people, making the noisy square slowly become quiet.

Although there is no very strict hierarchy in the kingdom now, there are still people in private, especially wizards who have a great deal of power.

After the square became silent, Sean announced the start of today's movie screening, and with a flick of his finger, the nine projection stones suspended in mid-air immediately dispersed and flew to all corners of the square.

Then a dazzling bright light erupted from it, enveloping the entire square, Tilal subconsciously narrowed his eyes, and when he opened his eyes again, he couldn't help but show a look of horror, and the civilians beside him exclaimed.

In a short moment, they reached a field of farmland from the bustling square, with green grass at their feet and a yellow, orange and orange wheat field in front of them.

Tilar couldn't help but crouch down to pluck a piece of grass to confirm the authenticity, but his hand passed through the blade of grass.

It's clear that it's not real, it's a projection of magic and light, and the combination of this is enough to make it look like it's true!
