"Live broadcast of the Rentat Music Festival?" Benedict III looked at the cardinal opposite and repeated the news he reported. Obviously, he was a little unable to understand that such a level of information could be sent to him. If it was even the size of a pea,
If you have to handle everything yourself, what do you need so many cardinals for?
As if sensing Benedict III's displeasure, the cardinal broke out in a layer of cold sweat on his forehead. In his nervousness, he actually missed a key sentence: "To report to His Majesty the Pope, this live broadcast is not Aalto Music."
The live broadcast in the town square like the Festival, but the live broadcast in some cities in the entire Channel countries and the Northland coastal corridor, has attracted millions of people to watch the Rentat Music Festival."
"Ultra-long-distance image transmission...with the help of artificial planets?" Benedict III naturally understood that the live broadcast the Cardinal mentioned was not just a sound broadcast, so he who knew a lot about arcana immediately thought of artificial planets. Currently, there are only
They can only afford similar needs unless the Magic Council is determined to go bankrupt and deploy sound and image transmission arrays everywhere, just like the church did in the past.
The cardinal lowered his head: "Yes, according to the information from the Night Watch, the Magic Council did use the artificial planet as a transit station."
The mid-level magicians who arranged the "curtain" made the "artificial planet" shine to varying degrees during the final debugging, shedding bright light and creating strange scenes - given their level of strength, this was inevitable
, so the night watchman, who has basic magic knowledge, judged that this "music festival live broadcast" relied on the "artificial planet".
Benedict III's face became serious, he took the urgent information from the cardinal's hand and began to read it carefully.
"His Majesty the Pope, although the magic circle used in the 'live broadcast' this time is not a permanent type, nor is it an alchemical item. It will lose its effect after being used a few times, but this method will definitely be gradually determined by the Magic Council, and this will cause problems in the four Straits countries.
And the wavering of believers along the Northland coastal corridor will not be conducive to our future counterattack." The cardinal was worried about the development of the church and said boldly.
Benedict III put down the information, and the expression on his face was as deep as the sea, making it impossible to judge his true thoughts: "Is it just causing the believers to waver? The music festival held in Rentat was broadcast live in cities at different distances almost at the same time. Some
There are sounds and images, and even ordinary people can enjoy it, not just the nobles... There are many things hidden behind such things, and they are definitely not something that can be summarized by simple believers."
"I am stupid and cannot understand the Lord's promptings." The cardinal was so frightened that his body trembled slightly. He still wanted to be appreciated by His Majesty the Pope too much. This greed affected his judgment, and as a result, he spoke rashly when he shouldn't have spoken.
Benedict III nodded slightly and continued: "Of course, for us, the most important influence is indeed the wavering of believers. Magicians use enjoyment, luxury, indulgence and a lizard-like colorful world to lure people into depravity, leaving them unable to
We are as simple as hundreds of years ago, lost our souls, and let the world become a sewage, but the more it is like this, the more we need to uphold the Lord’s teachings and save every lamb who still has a little kindness and brilliance deep in his heart.”
"This is a difficult and dangerous road. Every clergy must be prepared for martyrdom. Are you ready?"
The cardinal received the affirmation and felt excited in his heart. He drew a cross on his chest: "Only the truth will last forever!"
"Convey my order to convene an emergency meeting of the College of Cardinals." Benedict III sighed compassionately.
Half an hour later, except for those who were temporarily out, unable to receive news and guard important areas, and unable to escape for a while, the remaining members of the College of Cardinals gathered in the Great Hall of Light.
Before Pope Benedict III came out with the platinum scepter, they had already understood the theme of this meeting from the cardinal's information.
"His Majesty the Pope, man-made planets are extremely harmful. We must concentrate our efforts to completely destroy them. We can no longer counterattack and look for opportunities to combine as before." Melmoth, the leader of the Knights Templar, made a straightforward suggestion, although he
He does not study arcana like a cardinal, but from the perspective of a bystander, he can see more clearly the harm of artificial planets to the Lord, the church, and faith. Their movement in the sky seems to give magicians an extra pair of "
"The Eye of God" has an additional pair of "wings of light"!
After the second artificial planet was "launched", the church tried a variety of countermeasures and attack methods, but the results were not very good. The current result is that the two artificial planets were destroyed, which affected their influence on the holy city of Reims.
Waiting for the "snooping" of important cities, and after Lucien proposed the general theory of relativity, the Magic Council has artificial planets entering orbit every year, so it can afford such losses.
Saint Mary is a brown-haired girl with a calm expression, but she is at least three hundred years old. At this time, she said in a soft and authentic voice: "For the Magic Council, the creation and launch of artificial planets is not a very big deal.
The difficult thing is, even if we concentrate our efforts to destroy one, they will be able to launch several more in less than a year."
"Furthermore, apart from the absence of gods, the current Magic Council's overall strength is almost the same as ours. We can concentrate our strength to attack, but can't they concentrate their strength to fight back? Can we still withstand the consumption of such an all-out war? The heretics in the north,
The evil creatures of the Dark Mountains are watching us, waiting for us to make a mistake."
"Angel of Wind" Estila said through Maria's words: "The Magic Council publicly broadcast Lucien Evans' "Valkyrie" on a large scale this time. Could it be that they couldn't predict our reaction? Maybe this
This is another trap for them, maybe they are waiting for us to concentrate our efforts to destroy the orbiting planet!"
"Then what should we do? Can you launch similar items and use our 'God's Eye' to fight against the magician's 'artificial planet'?" "God's Glory" Beria gave them difficult excuses.
If you are not very satisfied, you should always make feasible suggestions!
The new Cardinal Philip said: "It is not our strong point to directly make similar items, but we can find a way to capture an artificial planet. There is not much difference between divine patterns and magic patterns in essence, but the power borrowed in the end is completely different.
As long as we spend time, we should be able to imitate it. By then, with the gift of the Lord, the items we create will be more aggressive and creative in orbit than artificial planets!"
In terms of borrowing power, past experience shows that divine magic is more convenient than magic, because "gods" are everywhere, even in orbit. Unlike magicians, in addition to using their own mental power to cast spells, they also rely on gravity and solar heat.
At all times, a constant magic circle or the entire magic tower is required to assist, and this makes the artificial planet's attack power obviously insufficient - if the artificial planet is made into an item close to the legendary level, the cost is too high, and it is difficult to realize the numerical advantage.
That's why the Magic Council attaches so much importance to fission reactors and the planned controllable nuclear fusion. If they can be miniaturized, it will completely level the gap between magic and magic in this regard.
"This requires a complete and safe plan, and we cannot fall into the trap of the Magic Council." After Melmoth agreed with Philip's opinion, his attitude became cautious and no longer so radical.
"Very good, everyone has shown their devotion to the Lord." Benedict III made the final decision and asked Maria, Melmoth, Philip and other members of the College of Cardinals to formulate plans.
Another Cardinal Ines added with the sign of the cross: "But we cannot relax the destruction of artificial planets, otherwise the Magic Council will launch a few satellites every year, and one day the entire blue sky will be enveloped by artificial planets.
Never see the sun again!"
Although this idea was ridiculous, every member of the College of Cardinals couldn't help but take a breath.

In St. Ivan's Castle, Pope Belkovsky and Emperor Romanov of the Shahran Empire both received news from their respective intelligence officers. Then, they raised their heads almost at the same time and looked at the blue sky outside the window. It seemed that through
The blue sky and white clouds saw the man-made planets.
They had no doubts about the strategic significance of artificial planets, but they sighed at the same time because they couldn't create one. They wanted to capture one but were worried about falling into the trap of the Magic Council. And they couldn't do it in the face of the oppression of the Southern Church.
At the same time, fight against the Magic Council.
Therefore, we must wait patiently for the opportunity. As long as one is captured without causing a large-scale battle, the Magic Council can only grit their teeth and admit it, because they are also impossible to rashly attack themselves and other forces in a full-scale confrontation with the Southern Church.
, that would make the Southern Church ecstatic.
In the Dark Mountains, a flashy and luxurious castle stands on the edge of the cliff. Most of it is made of gold, which is enough to attract the saliva of dragons.
A strange man with a cigar in his mouth leaned lazily on a high-backed chair, looked at the butler in front of him and said: "What you said is very interesting. It would be great if the live broadcast items of the Magic Council could be smaller. Then I would
Being able to see all kinds of interesting things in the castle is really a good thing for vampires like me who are too lazy to go out."
"Your Excellency, even if there is such an item, if you want to see interesting things, you have to rely on the Magic Council's radio station." The butler replied seriously.
"Don't worry, since the Magic Council has achieved this level, they will definitely continue to do it. If their radio station lacks resources, I can sponsor it. Doesn't Rhine have a good relationship with Lucien Evans? Through his words, Old
This guy can't get angry with me anymore." The vampire prince waved his hand.
"I heard that Mr. Observer accompanied the ancestor to the Temple of the Dead." The butler said another thing.
The vampire prince was silent for a moment, then sneered: "It's time for the old guy to get angry again."

Allinge, Sky Radio.
After the successful conclusion of the Rentat Music Festival, Lucien made a special trip here to thank all the arcanists who were responsible for the broadcast, and Heidi, who was curious about the "live broadcast", also "mingled" in with him.
"Mr. Evans, this is our job and we don't need to thank you. However, the letters from listeners in the past few days have unanimously requested that we continue to maintain similar live broadcasts in the future. We hope that our radio programs will no longer only have sound. What should we do?" Louise was distressed.
said.
Lucien smiled and said: "Prime Minister Russell, Duke James and other nobles have expressed similar ideas, but this is not a problem that can be solved by arranging a magic radio and adding a speaker. If according to current standards, the magic array that constantly reveals images
And the magic circle that receives the signal is equivalent to consuming a high-level item, and neither the parliament nor the kingdom can be so luxurious."
"So, we need time to complete and simplify similar alchemy items. You can truthfully repeat my words to the audience. In the near future, you will be able to watch the live broadcast not only in the square, but also in your own home."
"In the near future?" Samantha asked doubtfully, as there seemed to be no research in this area before.
Lucien pointed to Heidi next to him: "Some of the results of her research on artificial intelligence can be directly converted, such as electronic tubes and picture screens. Therefore, whether similar alchemy items can be completed as soon as possible depends on the efforts of their research team.
"
"Me?" Heidi pointed to her nose, looking confused. She had previously focused on "artificial intelligence" and forgot about the application of edge research.

Kingdom of Dumut, capital Hamina.
Katrina walked on the bustling street, surrounded by mostly dwarfs who were only as tall as her waist, but there were also businessmen who came to do business, so she was not watched.
"It's not suitable during the day. I'll put the items given by the teacher at night..." Looking at the crowd outside the temple, Katrina made a rational judgment. Although she didn't understand why the teacher did this, she still prepared carefully to complete it.
