Upon hearing that Vittorio had successfully resolved the chaos in the northern part of the kingdom, Harof and Aurora breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that although the situation tonight is a bit critical, the gains are also not small. As a result, the power comparison between them and the Empire and the Church is already very close.
Solving the evil god disaster also means that the parliament will have no worries when taking action!
Lin En glanced at the dilapidated underground square and ordered the wizards who still had strength to deal with the aftermath, especially to treat the wounded...
The aftermath of the battle just now caused quite a few casualties. This was because Cynthia looked down on these official wizards and was too lazy to disperse her computing power to attack them, otherwise at least half of them would be killed or injured.
"Speaker Vittorio, please go up and take a look. It's not just this place that has been attacked. Other places in the Fire Oil City have also been attacked by imperial spies. They may need our support." Lin En said solemnly.
For this assault, the church spent a huge amount of money and mobilized all the forces it could.
Lin En was not worried about the loss of Kerosene City. With just such a small number of people, they couldn't cause any big trouble, but it would be good to reduce casualties and damage.
The roads, houses, and even every blade of grass and tree in the kerosene city are the result of the workers' blood and sweat.
By the way, we can also take this opportunity to conduct a wave of internal cleansing...
"Okay, but I have to find a place to put this guy first." Vittorio shook Gustav in his hand and said with a headache.
It is not an easy task to trap a legendary priest. The secret room he spent a lot of effort to build to imprison Joshua has now been completely blown up as a trap, so he can only find another place.
The reason why he took the trouble to keep Gustav was naturally to torture him for some information. After he was promoted to Legend, he had some new ideas for "torture". He just hoped that this guy's mouth would not be as hard as Joshua's.
"Let me go with you!" Harov took the initiative to speak. Although he was also slightly injured, fortunately it did not affect his movements.
As for Aurora, there was no way she could get involved. Her right arm was cut off at the root and she needed immediate treatment.
"Lord Lin, what should we do with these two?" Raphael came over with several wizards in good condition, pointing at the tied-up Monroe and the unconscious Ivana. His tone was less casual and more respectful.
Today, this magic star has become a legendary wizard, and his status is naturally incomparable to before.
Thinking of the great battle he had just witnessed, Raphael's blood boiled. He secretly thought that he had to work harder and be promoted to a six-ring great wizard as soon as possible. Maybe he would have a chance to step into this mysterious and legendary realm!
Lynn turned his gaze away.
The tied Monroe looked distraught, and kept muttering "This is impossible... This is impossible..." It was unclear whether he was devastated by Harof's exposure of Cynthia's true identity, or he simply didn't want to believe that the saint of the church died in his hands.
Ivana had her eyes closed and her face was pale, obviously having had a large amount of blood and energy sucked out of her by that strange cube.
【Memory Retrieval】
Lynn stretched out his hand and placed it on the top of the two people's heads, testing their memories. Some memory fragments from Ivana's mind quickly flooded into his mind. On the other side, Monroe screamed in pain, and after two or three seconds he fainted from the pain.
Lynn frowned. He encountered considerable obstacles when searching Monroe's memory and only obtained a little scattered information.
Is it because of the piety of faith? Lin En thought to himself. They had noticed this situation before. In several battles with the Vatican's crusades, the parliament arrested many clergy. The higher the bishop, the more difficult it was to search his memory. It was possible that his soul was protected by the false god to a certain extent.
Sometimes direct interrogation is more effective.
Then, could he also develop some kind of magic through his intelligent brain to protect the wizards connected to the magic network? This might be a way to avoid information leakage.
Lin En thought to himself, but he did not forget the main business. He ordered Raphael to imprison the two men separately.
“Let the herbalist treat her injuries, and remember to tell me when she wakes up…” Lin En gave the order. He saw some very interesting information in Ivana’s memory and needed to confirm it.
"By the way, send a few more fighter jets to the Empire, especially the Holy City. I want to know the current movements of the Church!" Lin En added.
"Yes, Master Lin, I'll send someone to do it right away!"
After receiving the order, Raphael immediately took the unconscious Monroe and Ivina away.
Lin En did not participate in the subsequent mopping-up operations. His mental strength had been exhausted to the extreme. Although the previous attack was powerful, it also consumed most of his energy and magic power.
"071, show my current status!" Lin En said silently in his heart.
Along with a reminder sound, a light screen invisible to the naked eye appeared in front of them.
Lin En raised his eyebrows, because he didn't notice any clues during the whole process with his perception...
In fact, from the moment he traveled through time, Lin En had always been very curious about what form the intelligent brain took in his body.
You have to know that he came here through soul traveling. Theoretically, the intelligent brain chip in his body should not have been brought here, not to mention that his body had been completely destroyed in this promotion ceremony, but his intelligent brain was still not affected at all.
Perhaps it was because of the influence of time travel that its form of existence changed...
As for the one who could evade the detection of the legendary wizard, Lin En could only think of the quantum state! Only a more microscopic power could do such an incredible thing.
With the power of a legendary wizard, he can easily manipulate and mimic any element, and achieve a certain degree of control over space and magnetic fields, but it is limited to strong manipulation at the atomic level. As for the inside of the atom, he has no way to do it. For example, he has no way to directly control neutrons, nor can he affect the strong nuclear force...
Since he couldn't get in touch with this field for the time being, Lin En put these doubts aside for the time being and looked at the data evaluated by the intelligent computer.
[Agreement target: Lin En Pseudo-carbon-based organism, unknown energy body
Mental strength rating: Seven-ring legendary wizard (weak) Spell slots: [Deflection field], [Space vibration wave], [Electromagnetic rail gun], [High-frequency vibration particle knife]...
Number of magic network links: 357 ...】
Lynn took a few glances and found that the data page had become much more complicated and very different from before.
The first is the pseudo-carbon-based creature. There is nothing much to say about this. He reshaped his body through magical mimicry, and it is almost the same as before. He has hearing, taste, smell and the functions of various organs.
The so-called physical strength has completely disappeared, and perhaps it is impossible to accurately assess it.
After all, he can change the structure of his body at will. Just now when fighting Cynthia, Lin En replaced the element that constructed his body with iron, which made it easier to use the electromagnetic field to move quickly. The heavy and hard body can also provide higher attack and protection.
Although there are many elements in nature that are much heavier and stronger than iron, it is just a dividing line in the periodic table. Generally speaking, fusion in stars stops at iron, because from iron onwards, fusion synthesis requires absorbing energy rather than releasing energy outward.
For example, in order to use [End - Atomic Breath], he produced about twice the critical mass of uranium-235, which consumed most of his magic power and energy. In comparison, the Iron Man is both energy-saving and easy to use.
Compared with the physical changes, Lin En paid more attention to the changes on the spiritual level. Of course, he also saw the word "weak" marked behind the seven-ring legendary wizard at a glance.
Even without this reminder, he could feel that after withdrawing the computing power of the intelligent brain, Lin En clearly felt that his control over the domain and this body had weakened a lot.
Such changes may be related to the fact that his soul strength did not reach its limit when he was promoted.
Fortunately, the body of magic and energy is nourishing his soul almost all the time. Lin En estimates that it will grow to its peak level in about one to two months.
Before this, if he wanted to exert his maximum combat power, he could only rely on the help of the magic network.
"It seems that we need to relax some restrictions and incorporate more wizards into the magic network system." Lin En thought so. Currently, there are only more than 250 people connected to the magic network.
The reason why we didn't recruit a large number of people before was that the upper limit of computing power that the brain can withstand is very low. The computing power of more than 200 official wizards plus a few great wizards has exceeded this limit.
If all of them are called upon, the brain will swell and ache, and there may even be a risk of brain death.
Now, there is no such worry. We can call upon all the computing power in the magic network without any worries and there will be no headaches anymore.
Because he doesn't have a head at all, his entire body is essentially a collection of magic and energy, just existing in the form of a simulated physical body.
Lin En estimated that the next limit on computing power would be the soul's endurance.
…
When the first rays of morning light shone on the kerosene city, all the chaotic scenes had subsided.
For the townspeople, this was definitely an extremely memorable night.
Months of peace and development have made many people forget about war and chaos, but last night, their deepest fears came flooding back to their hearts.
In order to calm the panic of the townspeople, the parliament quickly sent people to publicize that they had once again thwarted the church's conspiracy, and the huge cone of light that shot up into the sky last night was a new magic developed by the magic star Lord Lin En! With just one strike, the invading church saint and a large number of church elites were wiped out. It was rumored that Saint Cynthia even performed the magic of divine descent, but was also beaten back.
In fact, before the parliamentary propaganda, the discussion about the huge cone of light had already spread among the common people. That thing was so huge that it shot straight out from the ground, as if it was going to penetrate the sky. Anyone could see it.
Such a shocking scene completely overturned their cognition and could only be described as a miracle! After hearing that this was a new magic developed by Master Lin, many people associated it with the equally shocking magic [Falling Sky].
A male glassblower took advantage of the break to tell several of his co-workers his guess. He believed that Master Lin En must have used this magic to knock down the sun in the sky, and then it fell to the ground and exploded. That land of death must have been created in this way!
"This doesn't seem right?" Another tall and thin female worker couldn't help but retort. When she came to the workshop this morning, she saw the sun rising from the horizon.
"You don't know this. I heard from the fishermen that the sun falls into the sea every day, then goes out, and rises from the other side the next day... It's like wheat, growing one crop after another!" the man vowed.
The workers around didn't understand why the sun was associated with wheat. When they were about to continue discussing, they saw the wizard stationed in the workshop walking towards them. They immediately shut up and got back to work.
It is very rare to be able to work in a workshop. The salary and benefits are very good. There are many people outside who want to squeeze in, and they don’t want to be kicked out for slacking off.
The wizard who was passing by naturally heard the discussion among the few people and a mocking smile appeared on his face.
Even though the parliament implemented a policy of replacing theology with magic and popularizing basic knowledge after occupying the City of Fire Oil, the townspeople's level of magic was still pitifully low after several months. How could they understand the greatness of magic?
I don't know why Lord Lin En opened a civilian academy to allow people without magical talent to learn how the world works. This is a complete waste of resources.
In his opinion, these civilians could only do simple jobs like blowing glass and loading ammunition, and they could not be expected to understand anything too profound.
At about nine o'clock in the morning, all the fighter jets sent out for reconnaissance flew back and brought back a very crucial piece of information.
After receiving the notice from the parliament, Lynn immediately rushed to the meeting place which had not yet been repaired.
After being promoted to legend, they also need to consider how to counterattack the empire and destroy the church.
After everyone arrived, several pilots hurriedly reported. According to their investigation, the holy city was now shrouded by an invisible force, making it difficult to approach, and even unable to see the scene inside clearly...
"Perhaps it is a projection of the Kingdom of God." Harof guessed. He knew very well that the Holy City was the foundation of the church and must have gathered the other party's most powerful forces.
The kingdom of God that can cover the entire Holy City is likely to be personally taken action by the false god...
