In the autumn, at the Eternal Star, in the magic academy of the royal capital, Johnny, who had become a teacher, was holding a book and looking up at the blue sky.
Under the beautiful sunset, it is an extremely spectacular scene!
A huge silver chain was circulating above the sky, as if it was going to split the entire sky in two. Under the influence of [Farsight], Johnny could clearly see the giant screen filled with mechanical beauty and the rune magic constantly flowing on it.
The construction of this huge planet-ringing structure began three years ago and is now basically completed. As to its function, there are different opinions within the parliament.
Some wizards believed that these circular creations were the residences built by the magic star for himself, palaces standing above the sky, so as to show his uniqueness and greatness! However, this statement was obviously untenable, because as this thing was gradually built, no matter from which angle it was viewed, it did not look like a place to live.
Therefore, many alchemists began to speculate that the Speakers were preparing to build a very large electromagnetic orbit around the world, and the unused electricity would fly down from the sky in the future! Johnny was not quite sure about the reason, because she had already left the core layer of the school.
Although she had reached the limit of a three-ring wizard at the age of twenty, and could be promoted to a great wizard immediately as long as she got a spot to call upon the magic network, which was obviously excellent enough, the situation was no longer the same now.
Great wizards who were rarely seen in the past and could serve as the high-end combat force of a kingdom have emerged in large numbers like carrots. Now, there are more than a thousand people who have successfully broken through to become a great wizard.
Those newly promoted great wizards may not even be selected as members of parliament and have to go through numerous rounds of selection.
Johnny knew very well that although he had good talent, it was by no means top-notch. Compared to a magic star who had risen from an apprentice to a transcendental god, he was not worth mentioning at all and it was difficult for him to provide much help.
However, in today's Magic Kingdom, everyone can shine if they are willing, so Johnny chose the education industry and passed on new and interesting knowledge, which is also what she enjoys doing most.
A faint smile appeared on Johnny's lips, and suddenly, a hand gently patted her shoulder.
The witch shuddered immediately, secretly regretting that she had lowered her vigilance. She turned her head sharply and found that the person who did it was her good friend Debra.
"Johnny, did you see the movie a few days ago? That Dave is so smart that he was able to sneak away with twenty apprentices from under the nose of a cardinal and even made the local city lord question his belief in the false god..." Debra chattered about the plot in the movie with excitement on her face. It was obvious that she had not yet fully recovered from the thrilling plot.
Because she grew up in a wizarding land, Debra knew little about the kingdom's past history, and was not too interested in the disputes between wizards and the church. But after watching the movie this time, she was shocked to realize how bad these people were.
Not only did those priests enslave the poor together with the nobles, they even fabricated the so-called heaven. In reality, they turned the souls of believers into nutrients to feed that god!
So when watching the movie, Debra was filled with righteous indignation. She wanted to rush in and cast magic to fight alongside Dave. Only when Dave successfully avenged his fiancée in the end did she breathe a sigh of relief.
I am even more looking forward to the sequel because I heard that the next movie will contain stories about the magic star!
But it would take several months for the next movie to be received, and Debra couldn't wait. Johnny, the only person who might know all this, became the one she asked! Johnny sighed helplessly. Since last night, many people had asked her the same question, but in fact she really knew nothing. She had to repeat the explanation she had agreed with Lynn.
She had told this made-up story nearly a thousand times, and she even began to doubt whether it was true. Now, no one would believe that the famous Magic Star was just a wizard apprentice who had studied magic for half a year when she was still in the empire.
I even taught him...
Johnny's thoughts drifted farther and farther, thinking of the days when he fled in the empire, and also of the dead Kent, Buck, White Dove... and their teacher Kelu.
After the parliament launched a counterattack against the empire, Johnny had tried to find out about his teacher, but the information he got was that after being escorted to the Holy City, Kelu was burned to death on the stake in front of all the believers...
A little sadness surrounded Johnny's heart, but it was soon dispelled, because the dark rule of the church had completely ended, and no one would be sent to the stake for studying knowledge...
While Johnny and Debra were recounting their past deeds, [The Legend of Dave 2: The Secret of the Moon Goddess] was also spreading throughout the kingdom at full speed, and the actor who played the protagonist suddenly became the most sought-after figure in the entire magic kingdom.
The plot of the movie caused an uproar among ordinary people.
Because while the plot is wonderful and exciting, it also reveals the essence of faith and exposes the fact that the so-called heaven of the Moon God is actually a complete scam!
After the death of all the poor people who believed in the Moon God, their souls would be stored up as food for the promotion of false gods...
In their opinion, this was the real plot happening right in front of them, showing the sinister faces of the priests and bishops vividly. Coupled with the soul sacrifice ceremony which looked terrifying, it undoubtedly caused panic among a large number of poor people in the kingdom!
Some of the residents who still kept the habit of praying in private returned home in fear and smashed the moon statues they had secretly worshipped, and even cried and begged the wizards to save their souls.
The wizards of the parliament had already prepared the secret medicine for baptism! Of course, these secret medicines were not so powerful that they could make people forget their faith. In fact, there was no need for these shallow believers to receive psychological treatment.
The secret medicine has only two effects: it is beneficial to physical health and makes people feel energetic, but before that they will experience extremely intense pain.
This is both a small benefit and a punishment. After all, only by experiencing pain can one learn a lesson.
Anti-faith has become the mainstream of the kingdom today. On the one hand, it is aimed at the remnants of the church, and on the other hand, it is to prevent wizards with ulterior motives from replicating Ella's method of becoming a god through faith.
This is not an unfounded fantasy. Over the past few years, the Parliament has arrested many wizards who tried to reverse history. Some of them wanted to improve their strength and break through the realm because of their lack of talent, while others wanted to become gods.
However, as the parliament's control over the kingdom grows stronger and the magic network becomes more popular, the number of wizards who choose to take risks has decreased a lot.
As "The Legend of Dave II" became popular in the kingdom, the parliament also issued an order to arrest the followers of the Moon God.

Due to the prior planning, this was actually a roundup operation to clean out all the remnants of the church and aristocracy who were lurking inside the kingdom and attempting to cause trouble.
Tiral and his group, who were feeling angry and terrified over the broadcast of "The Biography of Dave," were arrested before they could even hold a meeting to discuss their next plan. The musket workshop that they had just built with great effort was also directly nationalized.
They were not the most unlucky group. A member of the Moon Worship Organization in the Kingdom was horrified to find out that 20 out of 30 people in the organization were undercover agents, including the founder, when he was arrested. The whole organization was just a phishing organization...
The summary report of the believers was quickly handed over to Lin En.
"A total of 316,340 people?" Lin En flicked the booklet filled with names and identities, and all the information appeared in his mind.
This number is a little higher than imagined. You have to know that those who are included in the list are either unrepentant devout believers or traitors who are doing things in secret.
You know, in the battle with the church, Ella sacrificed all the devout believers, and now there are still so many.
After pondering for a moment, Lin En realized that their earth-shaking transformation plan for this continent had infringed the interests of too many people. These people were unable to resist the parliament on their own. Reviving the Moon God became their only hope to regain their previous rights, and their faith would naturally become stronger.
"Mr. Speaker, how should we deal with these people?" The wizard in charge of reporting asked cautiously.
“Keep them locked up for now. I need them for some use.” Lin En waved his hand but did not reveal anything.
Previously, he kept this group of believers inside the kingdom in order to make Ella's escape more natural, to attract the gods of the main world to launch an attack at the right time, and to help them resist the threats from the universe.
As for now it has a new use, because when he was in a foreign land, Lin En designed to kill a god and seized the other's priesthood, whose name was Lie. He has only experimented with the effect of disguise for the time being, and by using the laws he can even imitate the power of other gods!
If used well, this would undoubtedly be a powerful killer weapon, and Lin En was planning to use it on Ella's believers.
However, how to use the connection between faith and gods to further strengthen one's ability to control the situation is an issue that needs to be studied carefully.
Fortunately, there are enough test subjects, so they should be able to withstand the test...
