Chapter 600: The Magic of Simulating Divine Power and the Priesthood of Lies
On an autumn day, in the Eternal Star, in the magic academy of the royal capital, Jonny, who had become a mentor, held his book and looked up at the blue sky.
Under the beautiful sunset, it is an incomparably spectacular scene!
A huge silver chain circulated above the sky, as if it was about to split the entire sky in half, and under the influence of [Farsightedness], Jonny could clearly see the giant screen full of mechanical beauty and the continuous runic magic flowing on it.
This huge circumplanetary creation was built three years ago and is now largely complete, and there are many opinions within the council as to what its purpose is.
There are some wizards who believe that these ring-shaped creations are the abode that the Magic Star has built for himself, a palace that stands above the heavens, to show his uniqueness and greatness!
It's just that this argument obviously doesn't hold water, because as it was built, it didn't look like a place to live from any angle.
Therefore, many alchemists began to speculate that the speakers were preparing to build a very large electromagnetic orbit around the world, and the inexhaustible electricity would fly down from the sky in the future!
Jonny didn't know why, as she had already left the school's core.
Although she is in her twenties, she has reached the limit of the three-ring wizard, and as long as she is ranked to the quota of the magic net, she can be promoted to the great wizard immediately, which is obviously excellent enough, but now the situation is already different.
In the past, it was difficult to see that a large number of great wizards who could be used as a high-end combat power of the kingdom appeared like turnips, and now there are more than 1,000 people who have successfully broken through the great wizards.
Those new great wizards may not even be selected by the councilors, and they have to go through a lot of selection.
Jonny knew very well that his talent was good, but it was by no means top-notch, and it was not worth mentioning at all compared to a magic star who had gone from an apprentice to a transcendent god realm, and it was difficult to provide much help.
But in today's Magic Kingdom, where everyone can shine if they want to, Jonny chooses to educate the industry and pass on new and interesting knowledge, which is what she is most happy to do.
A shallow smile tugged at the corners of Jonny's mouth, and suddenly, a hand gently slapped her on the shoulder.
The witch immediately struck a snort, secretly annoyed at her lowered vigilance, and turned her head sharply, only to realize that it was her friend Debra who had done it.
"Jonny, did you watch the movie the other day? That Dave was so clever that he was able to slip out from under the nose of a cardinal with twenty apprentices, and make the local lord question his belief in false gods......" Debra chattered about the plot of the movie, her face full of excitement, and it was clear that she had not fully recovered from the excitement of the plot.
Because she grew up in the land of wizards, Debra doesn't know much about the history of the kingdom, and she is not too interested in the disputes between wizards and the church, but after watching the movie this time, she realized that these people are so bad.
Not only did the priests enslave the poor along with the nobles, but they even concocted the so-called kingdom of heaven, when in fact they turned the souls of the believers into nourishment for the one who was the god!
So when watching the movie, Debra can be described as indignant, eager to rush in, cast magic and fight side by side with Dave, until the end Dave successfully avenged his fiancée, which is a little relieved.
I'm even more excited about the sequel to come, because I heard that there will be a story about that magic star in the next movie!
But it will be a few months before the reaction of the next movie, and Debra can't wait at all, and Jonny, the only person who is likely to know all this, becomes the object of her inquiry!
Jonny sighed helplessly, many people had asked her the same question since last night, but in fact she really didn't know anything, so she had to repeat what she had agreed with Lynn.
She had told this nonsense story almost a thousand times, and even she began to wonder if it was true, and now I am afraid that no one will believe it, when the famous magic star was still in the empire, he was just a wizard apprentice who had studied magic for half a year.
I taught him too......
Jonny's thoughts drifted farther and farther away, thinking of the days when he had fled the Empire, and of the dead Kent, Buck, and White Dove...... And their teacher, Coru.
After the Parliament's counterattack on the Empire, Jonny had inquired about the teacher, but unfortunately he received information that after being escorted to the Holy City, Coru was burned at the stake under the watchful eyes of the believers......
A little sadness surrounded Jonny's heart, but it was quickly dispelled, because the dark reign belonging to the Church was completely over, and no one would ever be burned at the stake for studying knowledge......
Just as Jonny and Debra were telling the story of the year, [Dave's Biography II - The Secret of the Moon God] was also in full swing throughout the kingdom, and the protagonist suddenly became the hottest character in the entire magic kingdom.
The plot of the movie caused an uproar in Pingming.
Because while the plot is exciting and exciting, it also reveals the essence of faith and debunks that the so-called heaven of the moon god is actually a complete scam!
When all the poor people who believe in the god of the moon die, their souls are stored as food for the promotion of the false gods......
With the first movie as a foreshadowing, Dave's experience resonated with everyone, and the second movie revealed the essence of the effect surprisingly well, most of the civilians have limited culture and don't understand the high-end thing of acting.
In their opinion, this is the real plot happening in front of them, showing the sinister faces of the priests and bishops vividly, and adding the terrible-looking soul sacrifice ritual, it undoubtedly caused a large number of panics among the poor people of the kingdom!
Some of the lords, who still had the habit of praying in private, went home in horror and smashed the statue of the moon god they had secretly worshipped, and even cried and begged the wizards to save their souls.
And the wizards of the council have already come up with the secret medicine for baptism!
Of course, these secret elixirs do not have such a powerful miraculous effect that they can directly forget the faith, and in fact, there is no need for these shallow believers to receive psychological treatment.
The secret medicine has only two effects, that is, it is good for the health of the body, it will make people feel energetic, but before that, they will experience extremely intense pain.
This is not only a small benefit, but also a punishment, after all, you can only remember it for a long time after experiencing pain.
Anti-faith has also become the mainstream of the kingdom today, targeting the remnants of the church on the one hand, and preventing wizards with ulterior motives from replicating Ella's faith into divine law.
This is not a utopian fantasy, in the past few years, the council has arrested many such wizards who are trying to turn back the clock of history, either because of their lack of talent and want to improve their strength to break through the realm, or because of their own vain ambition to become gods.
However, as the Council gained more control over the kingdom and the spread of the magic web, the number of wizards who chose to take risks was much smaller.
With the popularity of [Dave's Legend II] in the kingdom, the council also issued an order to catch the followers of the god of the moon.
Due to the layout in advance, this is actually a net collection operation, and all the remnants of the church and nobles that are lurking in the kingdom and trying to do things in vain have been cleared.
Tilar and others, who were feeling angry and frightened by the broadcast of [Dave's Biography], were all arrested before they had time to meet to discuss the next step, and the group worked hard, and the newly established musket workshop was also directly incorporated into the state.
They are not the most unlucky group, a member of the Lunatic Cult organization in the kingdom, until the moment he was arrested, he was horrified to find that twenty of the thirty people in the organization were undercover, even the founder, and the whole was a fishing organization......
The total report of the believers was quickly handed over to Lynn.
"Is it three hundred and sixty-six thousand three hundred and forty?" Lynn flicked the booklet full of names and identities, and all the information came to his head.
This number is imaginary, and you must know that those who can be entered into the roster are unrepentant religious or traitors who are secretly doing things.
You know, in the battle with the church, Ella sacrificed all the devout believers, and now there are so many.
After pondering for a moment, Lynn realized that their earth-shaking transformation plan for this continent had violated the interests of too many people, and these people were powerless to resist the council on their own, and the revival of the moon god became their only hope of regaining their former rights, and their faith would naturally gradually become firm.
"Speaker, I don't know what to do with these people?" The wizard in charge of the report asked cautiously.
"Shut them up for now, I need them to be of some use." Lynn waved her hand and said, but she didn't reveal it in the slightest.
Previously, he kept these believers in the kingdom to make Ella's escape more natural, so as to attract the gods of the Overworld to launch an attack at the right time to help them resist the threat from the universe.
As for now, it has a new use, because when he was in a foreign land, Lynn designed to kill a god and seize the other party's priesthood, which is called a lie, and he only experimented with the effect of camouflage for the time being, and he can even imitate the divine power of other gods when using the law!
If it is used well, it is undoubtedly a strong killer feature, and Lynn intends to use it on these believers of Ella.
However, how to use the connection between faith and the gods to reinforce one's ability to control the situation is a question that needs to be carefully studied.
Fortunately, the number of test samples is large enough that it should stand up to tossing......
