Since the end of the southern civil war, all church forces in the entire southern region have entered a period of emptiness. The most influential Church of the Holy Light has been blocked in the city of Luan, and the activities of missionaries have also stopped. Outside the Church of the Holy Light Those churches of alien gods who were originally relatively weak and scattered quickly sensed the danger, and took the initiative to stop or reduce the frequency of activities in the southern border. It can be said that with the end of the southern border war, the spread of faith in this land In fact, it has become a vacuum, and the only thing still spreading is the "Holy Light Protestant Faith" slowly seeping out from Cecil City, or the "Pure Holy Light Theory".
With the opening of the "public opinion propaganda offensive", the slowly infiltrating Protestant beliefs will quickly fill this vacuum. Correspondingly, the influence of the old Church of the Holy Light will suffer an extremely heavy blow in the process.
Cecil's printing machinery was cranked up.
An overwhelming amount of newspapers and promotional materials are covering the entire southern border, and articles revealing and discussing the Church of the Holy Light appear in front of people every day, every minute, every second.
Under the pens of Godwin Orlando and Wright, these articles analyze the behemoth Church of the Holy Light to people in an extremely cold, clear and straightforward way. A holy group with a divine aura, but as an ordinary force that needs to be maintained by power and operated by money, it is placed in front of everyone. After removing all the luxurious rhetoric and cover-up, people first For the first time, I saw how the church works, how it controls the dissemination of theological knowledge, how it maintains the purity of its top members, how it absorbs newcomers, how it amasses wealth, how it maintains force to secure its position, how it fabricates lies to defeat its competitors...
After all the details have been dissected, every aspect of the Church of the Holy Light's operation has become devoid of sanctity.
On this basis, the news from Luan City began to quietly appear on all the prominent pages of the newspaper as current affairs news interspersed in the "popular science column".
As the editor-in-chief of the news page, Godwin Orlando's grammatical skills have shown great strength. His articles do not require any insults, nor any strong emotional expressions. He just quietly stated everything about the Church of the Holy Light , It has awakened thousands of people.
However, newspapers alone are not enough.
Cecil City, located in a special building on the edge of the mage area, Jibri is trying to calm down her mood.
This building was originally a part of the Magic Technology Research Institute, but with the establishment of the magic network communication-broadcasting complex system, this building was separated and independently served as the control center of the magic network communication-broadcasting, while in it On the upper floor, the technicians worked overtime to carry out renovation and construction. According to the experience of the first Magic Web broadcast, it was transformed into Cecil's first practical "studio".
Although she thinks she has a good psychological quality, and although she had a strong self-confidence before, at this moment, Jibri still feels an uncontrollable tension filling her heart.
She sat in the corridor outside the studio and watched through the window as the magicians inside were making final adjustments to the equipment. There was a light blue room inside, and half of the room was reserved for herself. It looks like an ordinary and warm living room, with simple and comfortable sofas, round tables, and soft and bright lights, but the other half of the room seems to be a huge and complicated magic laboratory: three specially made large magic net terminals are placed in three In different directions, the metal beams covered with magic patterns extend from the bases of the magic net terminals to the control seats at the end of the room, where a row of seats and rune devices are set up to control the lights of the entire room and each magic net. The state of the network terminal, and when the "program" starts, those seats will be filled with serious and serious technicians.
Jibri knew that later on her job would be to sit on the sofa at one end of the room, facing those huge and complicated magical machines and a group of expressionless staff members, to read her manuscript.
Except for machines and technicians and a certain guest, she will have no other communication objects and audiences in front of her eyes, but in fact... countless people in the entire southern region will see herself at the same time through the four new industrial cities and a large number of satellites. The "public magic net terminal" in the town, his face will appear in front of all of them.
She had never met so many people in her life.
For the first time in her life, Jibri, who had always been proud of her articulate speech, was a little afraid to speak.
And just when Jibri was in a state of tension and anxiety, a brisk voice suddenly came from the side, interrupting the witch's wild thoughts: "Are you nervous? If you are nervous, eat some candy~"
Jibri was startled, and hurriedly looked back, only to see Miss Rebecca Cecil standing next to her. This noble lady with a glorious surname was wearing a loose white technician's robe outside her dress. She didn't seem to have the elegance and restraint of a noble lady, she looked at herself with sparkling eyes, and she was holding a handful of candy in her hand, and she was passing it in front of her: "Here, you won't be allowed to eat it when you enter the studio later. something."
Jibri wanted to salute and decline, but before she could react, Rebecca had already stuffed the candy into her mouth.
"It's delicious, there's honey in it!" Rebecca said with a smile, "Eat a piece of candy when you're nervous. Aunt Hetty taught me that, and it's very useful."
"Thank you... Thank you..." Jibri was a little dazed with the candy in her mouth, and it took a while for her to realize that she hastily thanked her, "You are such a kind person."
Rebecca's reaction startled the lady witch: "Wow, this is the first time someone has said such things to me so seriously!"
Jibri was a little sluggish for a while, but just when she was thinking about what to say, Rebecca jumped to the next topic: "Are you ready? You seemed to get stuck twice during the rehearsal .”
"I... I think it's okay," Jibri said hastily, and then nodded vigorously, "I'm sure I'm fine."
"Actually, it's almost as good as my ancestors have said. Immediate performance is the most important thing. Even if you can't remember the words, you can make up the words on the spot." Rebecca said shaking her head, "And don't look at you nervous, maybe The guy who's going to play with you is more nervous than you."
Jibri couldn't help but look back at the temporary partner who was about to appear on stage with her.
On a chair not far away, a two-meter-tall, exceptionally strong man with a scar on his eye was resting with his eyes closed, looking calm and indifferent.
A translucent glowing little girl was floating nearby, and she was trying to make a funny face to scare passers-by, but it was too intimidating, and she failed once.
Jibri was a little frustrated: "... I don't think Mr. Wright is nervous at all, and Miss Emily is not nervous at all."
Rebecca also saw this, and she wanted to comfort Jibri again, but before she could speak, the bell that meant the device was ready suddenly rang.
Jibri raised her head, looked at the debuggers who were coming out of the studio, and the controller who was entering the room, and then took a deep breath.
She stood up and nodded to Rebecca: "I'm going in."
Rebecca showed a bright smile, clenched her fists in her chest and shook: "Come on!"
After sitting at the focal point of the three magic net terminals, Jibri felt that her whole body was a little light, and an unreal feeling grabbed her heart, which made her heart beat fast.
She was still nervous to death.
Wright also walked into the studio. This man, who was so strong that he didn't look like a priest at all, sat down opposite Jibri. He smiled, and Emily, who was floating behind him, also smiled.
At this moment, Jibri felt that her tension seemed to ease.
She looked at Emily, and watched this spirit girl with big eyes and a simple smile obediently disappear into the resonance of the holy light beside Wright, and suddenly realized what she was here for.
She felt she was ready.
"The device is in place and starts up for five seconds."
There was a sound coming from a certain direction. Jibri didn't follow the direction of the sound, but sat down on the sofa and turned her head to the three complex, huge and cold magic machines.
She remembered the first time she used a crappy "divination spell" to fool a certain merchant in exchange for a full ration for the next day. She was also nervous to death at that time, just like today.
"… four three… "
When she was wandering in the poor streets of the southern border, among adventurers and mercenaries, she always used lies to protect herself and trick others with sweet words, but at the very beginning, she didn't want to fool anyone at all. She just wanted to have a full meal at that time.
"... two... one..."
Now, she has enough to eat.
She's going to tell the truth today.
"start!"
Jibri had a smile on her face, that smile was sweet and kind:
"Hello, everyone, I'm Jibri, you can call me Miss Witch.
"I think everyone must be very curious about the scene in front of your eyes, and what a strange person suddenly appeared in the magic projection is trying to do. Regarding this issue, I believe everyone will know soon.
"Welcome to the first issue of Witch Time. Today, we are going to talk about what happened in the city of Luan..."
In a room next to the studio, a magic net terminal used for testing was activated, and with the holographic projection crystal filled with magical brilliance, a stable and clear image appeared above the crystal, together with it What appeared was Jibril's sweet voice.
Gawain looked at the picture and sound in front of him, turned his head slightly, and said to Hetty beside him: "She played well and the person recommended by Amber is fine."
"Indeed, it's better than expected," Hetty nodded, "It's fine if we can maintain the current state."
At this moment, the door of the room was suddenly pushed open, and Rebecca walked in briskly with a happy face, and said happily as soon as she entered the room: "Master Ancestor! The latest feedback has returned from all the magic net terminals It's all running smoothly!"
Then she also noticed the test audio and picture in the room, and immediately showed a happy look: "Miss Jibri is doing great!"
"Hmm..." Gao Wen rubbed his chin, but suddenly he was a little confused, "But speaking of which, I remember this program is called Cecil Miscellaneous Talk... That's the name I gave it..."
Rebecca was taken aback for a moment: "Hey, is that so?"
"... It seems that she forgot the words, but I made up one now," Gao Wen turned his head to look at the test sound picture in the middle of the room with a strange expression, "the prompt cards on the table have not been saved... But she now It’s not a bad name, either.”
The witch time is the witch time... It has the characteristics of this world.
