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



After hearing Lin En's idea, Vittorio was a little amused. The speed of 300,000 kilometers per second exceeded the limit of his imagination. Is that really a speed that humans can reach? "Why not?" Lin En asked.

Due to the influence of air resistance in the planet's atmosphere, coupled with problems with biological structure, it is difficult to exceed a speed of 100 kilometers per hour with flesh and blood.

However, the body of the legendary wizard is not fragile flesh and blood. When it is transformed into energy, it is minimally affected by wind resistance and planetary gravity. In theory, it should be able to reach a terrifying speed.

Lin En suspected that the initial acceleration might be insufficient. When Vittorio was flying, he still relied on the help of force field magic to get rid of the influence of the planet's gravity, so naturally he could not fly fast.

Or is there something else that prevents them from increasing their speed to the limit, such as soul, magic power? Or is it the fear in their hearts? Lin En, who has not yet been promoted to a legendary wizard, is not sure, and said after pondering. "Why don't we set a small goal first, such as increasing the speed to twice the speed of sound!"

Harov and others are not unfamiliar with the concept of the speed of sound, and have long discovered this boundary.

When the speed of an object exceeds 300 meters per second, an extremely strong sonic boom will be produced and the air resistance will become extremely large. This is particularly obvious when experimenting with electromagnetic guns.

Converted to that, the speed is about 1,200 kilometers per hour! This means that they can run from the easternmost part of the kingdom to the westernmost part in less than an hour!

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

As they were thinking, an airship slowly descending from the sky interrupted their discussion.

Lin En and the others knew very well that unless it was something important, no one would dare to disturb them at this time.

The airship soon stopped in front of everyone, and out stepped Raphael, who was in charge of parliamentary affairs this week.

"Is there something urgent, Master Raphael?" Harof asked.

"Dear Speakers, we have just received an urgent piece of information, which was transmitted via electromagnetic waves!" Raphael did not say any unnecessary words and directly handed a translated ciphertext to Harov.

The latter reached out to take it, glanced at it for a few times, and then frowned immediately.

"What's wrong, Harof?" Aurora asked in confusion. "Is there any movement from the Empire?"

"It's about the northern border of the kingdom. You can read it for yourselves!" Harof handed the ciphertext in his hand to several people.

This was a secret report written by Redel himself. According to the above description, a rebellion of evil gods suddenly broke out in the northern border of the kingdom that they had just recovered. An entire city was slaughtered, resulting in tens of thousands of casualties.

Now, with the few manpower they have in the northern border of the kingdom, they are simply unable to stop the spread of this disaster.

"The Lord of Famine and Plague..." Aurora whispered the name of the evil god, and then suddenly spoke. "Could it be those escaped nobles who did it?"

Famine and plague reminded her of the food wars that had been started by the nobles of the kingdoms before.

Although the parliament's food-saving strategy failed to 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 territories ruled by the nobles.

Is it possible that the soaring food prices are just a cover, and the other party's real purpose is to use this famine to revive this evil god?

"I'm afraid it's more than that!" Lin En said solemnly. "I suspect this matter is related to Gustav, the commander of the God's Punishment Army who infiltrated the kingdom."

When dealing with King Hattar, Lin En searched his memory for the supporter behind the nobles' rebellion - one of the church's top leaders, the legendary clergyman Gustav! After that, the other party seemed to have disappeared and had not appeared for a long time. The kingdom was very large and the parliament was seriously understaffed, so it was impossible to conduct a carpet search in every place.

All they could do was wait passively for Gustav to jump out.

"It seems that the church seems to be intentionally creating chaos everywhere." Vittorio suddenly thought of a piece of intelligence that the parliament had received some time ago. Several evil gods had also broken out in the empire, but each time they were easily suppressed by the church. He had to think more about whether all the evil gods were deliberately released by the church! This is not impossible. The evil god statue used by the evil wizard Merc Cholera Wizard Land was brought here by a saint, which shows that the church did seal some of the evil gods who were defeated in the war of faith and kept them for use.

"But why do they do this?" Aurora asked with a little confusion.

She could still understand the current turmoil in the North and the last outbreak of the evil god in the wizard land. It was just throwing the evil god as a special weapon into the enemy's sphere of influence to create a disaster.

But it is a bit strange that the other party indulges the evil god Cholera within the territory of the empire.

"Perhaps the church wants to deepen faith?" Lynn guessed with a twinkling eye.

Faith exists throughout human history, and its principles have long been thoroughly analyzed by various psychological analysts.

Generally speaking, the more chaotic and poorer a place is, the easier it is for a sect to grow.

After all, the poor at the bottom of society have nothing, and often suffer from bullying and injustice, and sometimes even physical illness, so they can only place all their hopes on God!

If you want to catalyze faith, the fastest way is to create a major disaster. When everyone is in despair, quell the disaster in the name of God, and preferably show some miracles. Naturally, you will be able to gain a large number of devout believers.

Therefore, doomsday theory is also a common means of propaganda used by various religions.

It is precisely because of the doomsday that we need to believe in God more devoutly to avoid disaster! But now is obviously not the time to think about why the church released a large number of evil gods. The chaos in the northern border of the kingdom must be dealt with as soon as possible! The sooner the better!

Every famous evil god has legendary strength. If they are allowed to carry out mass blood sacrifices to fully recover their former strength, they will become extremely difficult to deal with.

"Why don't I go?" Vittorio said eagerly.

Ever since he broke through the realm, Vittorio was worried that he didn't have the opportunity to show his skills. When fighting with Lynn and others, he was also restrained and dared not to use his full strength. This made him very unhappy. Now he finally found an object with which he could test his strength without any scruples!

Not to mention that the Church and the Empire are now eyeing the situation covetously, and 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 Redel and others to directly resolve the riot!

"At my speed, it will take only an hour and a half to get from the Kerosene City to the northern border of the kingdom. If everything goes well, the problem can be solved in one day, and I will probably be back tomorrow night!" Vittorio said casually.

Going to the North may not only involve facing the evil god's rebellion, but also Gustav hiding in the dark, which means you may face two legendary opponents.

"It doesn't matter. He's just an evil god that hasn't fully revived, and a pseudo-legend." Vittorio said with a sneer.

The souls of more than ten thousand people are not enough to restore an evil god to his peak state. Besides, an enemy with confused consciousness should not be difficult to deal with.

As for the legendary clergy of the church, although they also possess energy bodies, after Vittorio conducted in-depth research on the Chief Judge these days, he found that the other party's condition was very strange, and the power he used was entirely derived from the false god [Ella].

Judging from their previous experience, Gustav could probably only unleash legendary power by performing the Kingdom of God Advent and relying on the Holy Word.

To some extent, it is just a pseudo-legend!

Facing such an opponent, even with the addition of an awakened evil god, Vittorio still had full confidence in defeating him! Although Lin En and others felt that Vittorio was a little too arrogant, they also understood that this was indeed the best solution.

In this way, the City of Kerosene will be able to preserve most of its strength to deter the Empire and the Church. The most important thing is that Vittorio's actions are very secretive and he goes and comes back quickly. Perhaps the problem will be resolved before the Church can react.

"In short, you'd better be careful, so as not to fall into the trap and have us rescue you..." Aurora reminded jokingly.

"Hahaha, how is this possible?" Vittorio laughed loudly, and without further delay, his energy-based body turned into a stream of light and flew into the sky.

Lin En shook his head. He remembered that Vittorio had always been very cautious, but after breaking through the legend, he seemed to become a little irritable.

Could it be the influence of human hormones?

Without an aging body, the mentality has returned to youth? Lin En thought so, but he was not too worried. They now have mastered electromagnetic communication technology. Even if they are hundreds of kilometers apart, they can quickly contact each other without any major mistakes.

With Vittorio's support for the North, Harof and Aurora felt a little relieved. They turned to look at Lin En and asked.

"Has the ritual array for advancement to Legend been repaired? How long will it take to activate it 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.

"It has been basically repaired. Speaker Vittorio has also made some improvements to the formation. Now the only problem left is the fusion fuel." Lin En explained hesitantly.

Although nuclear fusion is said to provide endless clean energy, it still consumes fuel in the final analysis.

It’s just that this fuel is sufficient and can be obtained from seawater. For the Earth in the past, without considering the energy consumption of future interstellar travel, it is enough for all mankind to use for hundreds of millions of years!

However, the content of deuterium and tritium in seawater is very limited. Hundreds of wizards in the parliament who are proficient in thunder magic have almost drained the water of an entire lake, but they have not been able to extract the second batch of nuclear fuel for upgrading.

We are now considering whether to build a deuterium and tritium extraction station on the sea surface to meet the needs of future wizards' promotion.

"Then we can only wait a little longer!" Harof said regretfully. He knew that the Thunder Wizards had already tried their best and he could not force them to go faster.

After finishing the sparring, Lin En and the others chatted all the way back to the City of Kerosene. The bustling scene in the city gradually diluted their worries about the affairs in the North.

Raphael looked at the newly built neatly arranged concrete houses, the grand and beautiful train platforms, and the smiling crowds on the flat 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 could only be described as dirty and messy. The poor were hungry and poorly clothed. But now it has become the most eye-catching area in the entire city.

With the full support of the parliament, the development of the entire Fire Oil City is so rapid that it cannot be described. It is said that recently many citizens of the Empire on the border have secretly crossed the border, fled from the mountains and forests to the kingdom, and chose to make a living here.

Raphael, who witnessed the changes in person, was also full of pride. This was the power of magic! Lin En, who had extremely sensitive hearing, listened to the gossip and discussions of the townspeople in the city during their spare time. The most popular topic was naturally the affairs officer exam a few days ago.

There are a total of two thousand people participating in the city, and more than two hundred grassroots managers need to be selected from them. The probability of ten to one is not low. Even if the performance in the exam is not outstanding, there is a possibility of being selected.

What surprised Lin En a little was that quite a few people were discussing the evil god disaster that broke out in the northern border of the kingdom!

Did the news from the North reach the City of Fire Oil so quickly? Lin En couldn't help but frown. You know, this news was transmitted directly through electromagnetic wave communication. They should have received the news the fastest!

Did the wizard in charge of communication leak the news? Or was someone spreading it intentionally...

"Give the order to strengthen the vigilance in the next two days!" Lin En pondered for a while and gave the order.

Night in the city of kerosene.

A gorgeously decorated alchemical car slowly stopped at the entrance of the Wizarding Academy, attracting waves of surprised and envious glances.

"Please come in, Ms. Cynthia!" Ryan opened the car door very gentlemanly and extended his hand to invite her.

For tonight's "private meeting", Ryan specially changed the standard robes distributed by the academy and bought a new set of clothes - outer robes, lining, trousers and a pair of high-top shoes. This is the new fashion of the kingdom's wizards recently! Of course, if the alchemy car in front of him was bought by himself instead of rented, it would be perfect!

However, Cynthia was not very satisfied with his earnest behavior, and said softly, "I remember I said that this time we were going to visit Master Farrell, so there was no need to go to great lengths."

"It's nothing. In fact, I go out like this on weekdays." Ryan smiled heartily, but his heart was bleeding.

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

But he believes it's all worth it! (End of this chapter)
