Chapter 184: Temptation of the Devil (4000 Words)

Is this the so-called devil's temptation? No... no, it is a heinous act to compare a saint to a devil.

But the adjutant has no reason to reject the request of the Holy Maiden Herolia.

He told Holy Maiden Gloria everything he had seen and heard in Nolan, including some knowledge that if the archbishop knew about it, he would be executed.

"Magic that connects the consciousness of all people?"

In the adjutant's narration, the only thing that aroused the interest of the saint Herolia was the "magical magic" he said at the end.

"Yes... yes, my lord, Nolan has recently developed a brand new magic, and almost everyone around me is using it." The adjutant said.

"Connecting other people's consciousness sounds a bit like counseling, I need more detailed content."

The saint Herolia searched the knowledge she had accumulated over the past hundred years, and only found two or three magics that could share consciousness with other people, but none of them were far from his description.

Because just the statement of "connecting the consciousness of all people" is enough to be understood as a "miracle" that only gods can do.

"A kind of magic called 'Magic Net' is constructed with the system of order inscriptions. I bought a very small raw spar in Nolan's White Thorn Theater, and then crushed it to use the magic net."

The magic of the magic net cannot be expressed in words by the adjutant.

Pale white magic power surrounded his hands, and the interface of the magic net in his mind began to condense with the supply of magic power.

In the end, Gloria saw an interface made of pure white light appearing in front of the adjutant's eyes, and there were a lot of text and pictures on the interface.

"What's this?"

Hororia fought face to face with the adjutant, so the text she saw was completely opposite to the picture, which made Hororia circle around the adjutant, and finally stood behind the adjutant and looked at the above content.

The content inside is very messy, what the hell, who took my lizard wine this morning! ’ ‘Which inscription should a mage of the Zhiyan system learn from? ’ ‘Training your muscles is the first step to becoming a qualified spellcaster! '.

A lot of dazzling information made Gloria not know where to look.

"Spellcaster Forum."

The adjutant glanced at the place where the time was displayed in the lower right corner. There was a post in the caster forum briefly describing the function of the magic net, and one of the posts mentioned the concept of 'network connection and network speed'.

The adjutant usually stays in Nolan's chapel, and the signal display in his lower right corner barely shows three bars, but when he comes here, it has completely turned into a pattern composed of two warning colors, gray and red.

These two colors reminded him that he was disconnected from the Internet.

He has recently developed the habit of posting some posts on the spellcaster forum after praying every day. For him, being disconnected from the Internet can be said to be a disaster.

But fortunately, the caster forum adopts local loading, that is, the content in the caster forum will be stored in the user's 'mind', and the dynamics of the post will be updated again after connecting to the network.

After all, the human brain is a super-large-capacity 'hard disk', of course Qiao Xiu should make good use of it.

Of course, users can also choose to clear useless content in the forum with one click.

"The caster... forum? That is, the parliament, in the form of text?"

Gloria quickly found the rules of the text arrangement on the spellcaster forum. After finding these rules, the sense of clutter disappeared instantly.

"Yes, my lord, Nolan's spellcasters post their opinions and questions to this forum in text form, and soon other users will see and reply."

The adjutant reached out and clicked on one of the posts, showing it to Gloria.

"Everyone is anonymous on this forum?"

Gloria noticed that the names of both the poster and the responder were not like their real names, but more like some kind of code name.

"Anonymous, everyone rarely knows the identity of the other party."

This is also one of the reasons why the adjutant likes the caster forum. On this forum, as long as he does not violate the 'user agreement', he can talk to anyone equally.

He also enjoys the feeling of communicating with other people on the forum, showing his true thoughts and opinions, and... posting those funny dwarf emojis, and a newly added emoji, which is simpler than a dwarf is a yellow person Face.

One of the emotes, called 'Funny', is currently trending in the caster forums.

"It's... ridiculous."

After listening to the adjutant's narration, the saint Herolia suddenly showed a self-deprecating smile.

"Hall of the Holy Maiden... Your Highness... I... I'm not sure..."

The adjutant suddenly realized that he seemed to be a little carried away. Although no one in Nolan stood up and claimed that he was the maker of the magic net, the adjutant could guess that it should also be the work of that demon.

"You don't need to panic, I just think it's a little ironic."

"Satire?"

"In the scriptures left by the gods, he always hoped that his believers could tolerate each other and establish a world where all people are equal. As a result, the church failed to achieve it after spending thousands of years, but a demon fulfilled the god's wish first. , although the heat is only mental, you say...is this ironic?"

Gloria glanced at the adjutant, but the adjutant could only lower his head and didn't know how to answer, or dared not answer.

The only person in the church who dares to criticize the church and the gods in this way is the saint. If these words came from his mouth, he would be sent to the execution platform for defamation.

"Don't bow your head, so I can't see the content on the caster forum."

"It's... Lady Saint."

Gloria glanced at what the users on the caster forum were talking about.

She found several replies so interesting that she couldn't help but want to be a part of them.

"How should I reply to them?" Gloria asked again.

"This... the current coverage of the magic net is only in Nolan, and the holy city cannot receive the information of the magic net. The content you see, Mrs. Saintess, was stored a few hours ago."

The adjutant explained to Saint Herolia according to the "Instructions for Using the Magic Net".

"In the Holy City, you can only view past content, but can't join the discussion? Are there any church-related posts on this forum?"

Horolia could already vaguely guess the reason for Cheryl's defection.

Under the order of the saint, the adjutant immediately found a post he was most familiar with on the caster forum, which was the "Diary of the Inquisitor". Library' topmost location.

"Sister Skotan, what a long-standing name, is this why you defected? Cheryl."

Horolia had already obtained the information she wanted, and she looked away from the interface of the magic net. At this moment, a ball of light floated on Horolia's shoulder.

This ball of light is some kind of living creature. It whispered a few words in Hororia's ear, and then it turned into a little light and disappeared.

"You will be able to return to Nolan in three days, and be the guide to defeat that demon."

"Three...three days later?"

The adjutant was a little surprised when he heard the news. The portal to Nolan had been completely closed. If he wanted to return, he had to walk from the Holy City to Nolan.

But even riding a horse for this distance would take more than three months, and this was based on the premise that there were no emergencies on the road.

"There seems to be a special teleportation array at the bottom of Nolan's church... I only have one request now, to bring back a raw crystal carrying the 'magic net', and to find out whether there is a way to connect the magic net across borders. "

Gloria can be sure that 'Sister Stanko' is Cheryl who defected.

As a saint, she is not in a special situation, and she cannot leave the holy city privately, so she can only rely on this magical magic net to contact Cheryl.

"This is the activity fund. If you want to stay in Nolan, do your best to complete the tasks I give you."

A golden inscription appeared on Gloria's fingertips. She waved the inscription, and a pile of gold coins and jewels floated in front of the adjutant's eyes. The adjutant quickly stretched out his hands to catch the gold coins and jewels.

"Otherwise I might recommend you to become an ascetic."

"Ascetic... Lady Saint... I... understand."

The adjutant held the gold coins and jewels in his hand, but his heart was miserable. The so-called ascetics were those who dedicated themselves to the gods. Although their status was very high, their lives were extremely difficult...

But in the face of this entrustment, the adjutant has no right to refuse at all, because he has already accepted Hororia's bribe.

He looked at the smile on the face of the saint Herolia. In the eyes of her believers, this smile was absolutely no less than bathing in the light of the gods.

But in the eyes of the adjutant, it is no different from a demon!

Sure enough... this is the temptation from the devil!

………………

Hearthstone Tavern, in the Hall of Silence.

"This is your job content, do you have any questions?"

Joshua spent a few minutes explaining to Pruc the role of 'Nolan's Voice' and the work he needs to be responsible for.

This faceless demon has a good voice, which may be related to his race. As a faceless demon who has the title of a fraudster, if the voice is unpleasant, few people are likely to be willing to listen to this demon's instigation.

In "This Devil Is Not So Cold", Prouker played the original sound directly, and the slightly hoarse bass attracted many female audiences who came to watch the movie.

"news?"

Pruker pronounced an extremely unfamiliar word in a slow tone.

Since he stepped into the Hearthstone Tavern, he has come into contact with a lot of unfamiliar vocabulary, and Joshua has already explained his job content to Pluke just now.

It is to rush to the Hearthstone Tavern on time at nine o'clock every morning, sit in the silent hall and narrate the news content in the manuscript.

Pluke knows human characters, and it is not difficult for him to spend more than ten minutes every day reading a manuscript.

But Joshua hired not only him this time, but also all the members of the black pigeons behind him.

"News can be understood as valuable information, which is what you members of the black pigeons have been doing, to inform Nolan of some important or interesting things that happened to Nolan recently through Nolan's voice All residents."

Joshua gave the fraudster an understandable explanation.

"You mean to give the information to all the residents of Nolan for free?"

Pluke's comprehension ability is not bad, but what Joshua wants to do is undoubtedly a loss-making business for professional intelligence dealers like them.

"But Your Highness Joshua, you won't get anything in this way... The information collected by the black dove is valuable enough for some of Nolan's spellcasters to spend a lot of money to buy it. You will lose all the information it deserves." value."

Prouker's seniority in this organization is longer than the current leader Dark Elf Thousand Faces, and he clearly knows that even the black pigeon belongs to Nolan's dark side's shady and low-level organization.

But because of this, some businessmen who do business in Nolan, in order to grasp the handle of their opponents, will spend a lot of money to find black pigeons to buy information about their opponents.

Information is a commodity to Black Pigeon, and what Joshua has done is completely equivalent to giving away these commodities for free.

"Pluke, if I do this, what I get will be an audience of nearly tens of thousands...or hundreds of thousands of listeners in Nolan."

It was only at this moment that Joshua showed something called'ambition' to the fraudster.

"Imagine, they open the magic net to open the voice of Nolan, and they can know the latest things that happened to Nolan through your narration every morning, whether it is an unbelievable big event or some interesting little news, they will be able to hear it immediately. Knowing the latest news about Nolan is enough for any Nolan resident to sit down and listen to the news for a few minutes."

Joshua thinks that the real attraction of the radio is not any musicals or late-night storytelling, but the relaxing news on the radio. Everyone will care about what is happening around them.

"His Highness Joshua...does this make sense?"

Pluke still can't understand the meaning or value of doing this. The black pigeon can at least exchange some gold coins for selling information, but if it is regarded as 'news', there will be no profit.

"The meaning is that there will be hundreds of thousands of people willing to sit quietly and listen to your voice. This is the same as the mission of the church. In a city, hundreds of people are willing to listen to a missionary's speech..."

"..."

After hearing Joshua's simple metaphor, Pluke wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

The fraudster finally understood what kind of impact the 'Voice of Nolan' would have on the world.

"But if you want to hire all the members of the Black Pigeon, you need to wait for Qianmian to return to Nolan. She will not be able to return to the human world until about a week later."

Pluke's status in the Black Pigeon was not high, it was a loose organization, and only the current leader of the Black Pigeon, the Dark Elf Thousand Faces, could make those members obedient.

"Then wait until she returns to formally discuss the content of employment. You can go back now."

Joshua didn't keep the fraudster back. Since the release of "This Devil Is Not So Cold", Squirrel Street started from the Black Pigeon Hotel and has a faint tendency to develop into a tourist attraction.

If Qiao Xiu makes another movie in the future and uses it as a location, maybe it can really be turned into a Hollywood.

Pruc practiced a somewhat awkward etiquette to Joe and left the Hearthstone Tavern.
