I Made Scientific Magic

City of Fire Oil, inside the school's resident.

Monroe carefully inspected the room again, and confirmed that there was no eavesdropping magic secretly set up by those wizards, and then put the crystal ball on the desk.

The red light became more and more intense, and a strange fluctuation of magic power was quickly transmitted in all directions.

Monroe was not worried that the energy fluctuations would alarm the wizards.

Although the entire Fire Oil City has been set up to detect divine magic, the crystal ball in his hand is essentially a witchcraft, and it is precisely because of this that he was able to pass the previous search.

There are all kinds of alchemy props on the wizards, and the council has no way to check each one carefully, and it will not do such things that easily cause dissatisfaction.

And a wizard used magic in the room, which produced some magic power fluctuations, which was also very normal, and there was nothing suspicious about it.

After all, there are not too many wizards who conduct experiments or even cause accidents in the room...

However, Monroe's face showed a trace of disgust and aggrieved. He is a majestic adjutant of the God's Punishment Army, and he has been reduced to the point where he needs to rely on this evil witch weapon!

This is simply a disgrace!

While thinking about it, the red light had gradually faded, and what appeared in front of him was a blurry image, but it could be vaguely recognized that this was the current ruler of the Holy See——Pope Alves!

"Your Majesty the Pope!" Monroe knelt on one knee and said excitedly and respectfully.

As an ordinary adjutant in the God's Punishment Army, he only had the opportunity to meet the Lord's messenger in the world when he participated in grand ceremonies in the past, but now he can talk alone.

"In the past few days, you probably haven't attracted the attention of those wizards, have you?" Pope Alves looked at Monroe who was kneeling in front of him, and asked indifferently.

"I don't think so, my lord." Monroe hesitated for a moment. In the past week, although he argued and refuted a few words during the lectures at the academy, they were still at a normal level.

In fact, because some of the remarks of those professors are too strange, there will be voices of inquiries and doubts in almost every class.

One more is not more, and one less is not less.

Monroe reckoned that there was a high probability that he hadn't attracted the attention of the wizards, at least he didn't notice signs of being followed or monitored when he went out.

"Since that's the case, how much of the task I entrusted to you has been completed?" Alves asked again.

Monroe responded. "I haven't found out about the place where Master Joshua is being held. Those wizards are very vigilant. I suspect that only a very small number of congressmen, even the speaker, know this information."

"As for the star of magic, his whereabouts are unknown. He should have been staying in the city of fire oil recently. I only collected some information about him..."

Speaking of this, Monroe was extremely ashamed.

It is precisely because His Excellency the Pope trusts himself so much that he entrusts such a difficult task to his hands.

But for a full week, I didn't have any key gains...

After successfully entering the city of fire oil, those wizards seemed to be very generous and did not restrict anyone's freedom, but in fact they were confined to the wizard academy for the convenience of supervision.

Not to mention that they have to waste a lot of time listening to the nonsense of those professors.

Alves was naturally aware of the risks involved in sneaking into the enemy's hinterland, so he didn't mean to blame Monroe, but instead asked about the current situation in the city of oil, and then added with a sigh.

"How many of the Lord's people remain under the rule of those wizards?"

Although they don't want to say that, to a certain extent, they are indeed forced to abandon the believers in Fire Oil City and even the entire kingdom, allowing them to fall into the evil control of wizards.

Right now, I'm afraid it's a scene full of dead bodies and rolling heads...

The wizards will never let go of those devout believers who believe in the Lord!

But I feel like they're doing... not bad?

Monroe paused for a moment, hesitating to speak. These days, he also conducted some unannounced visits, intending to expose the superficial prosperity of the city of fire oil, but the result surprised him very much.

Those wizards are not only willing to spend 'high salaries' to buy the labor of those poor people, but also guarantee their three meals a day. Even the casual workers temporarily recruited in the slums eat delicious white bread, and occasionally there will be a piece of it in their lunch fish fillets.

Coupled with the salary of five imperial silver coins, this has reached the treatment that elite soldiers of the empire can only have!

Monroe told what he had seen and heard, and finally published a report. "I think these wizards are trying to use money to corrupt the devotion to the Lord in the hearts of the poor!"

"It's really worth noting." Alves looked extremely serious.

If the wizards continue to implement their brutal rule, it will be easier to deal with them. Such pretentious and fawning at no cost is actually digging the foundation of the church's existence!

Monroe continued. "Moreover, they update their weapons very quickly, and a large number of new weapons are produced every day."

"I also heard that these wizards are building something called a train, which can transport nearly a thousand tons of goods and an army of a thousand people from any corner of the kingdom to the city of fire oil within a few hours!"

Hearing this, Alves' face became extremely ugly, and he immediately realized how much threat this thing called a train would bring.

This means that wizards will have extremely terrifying war potential, as long as they need it, they can continuously dispatch soldiers and materials from the entire kingdom for reinforcements.

Just as Alves was frowning and thinking about countermeasures, Monroe said suddenly.

"But in my opinion, it won't be long before the whole kingdom will collapse on its own!"

"Oh?" Alves looked at Monroe quite unexpectedly, wondering why he would say that suddenly.

Monroe explained sternly. "Those wizards massacred the local nobles, but they were not good at management. They wantonly squandered the wealth they plundered, so that the poor in the entire Fire Oil City could eat meat and white bread, and paid extremely high rewards... ..."

"However, they don't care about farming and production. They only know how to earn more coins greedily. Now a large area of ​​land in the City of Fire Oil has been abandoned. I believe that other cities in the eastern part of the kingdom under the rule of wizards will be no exception!"

The more Monroe said, the more excited he became, and Pope Alves gradually understood the meaning of his words.

In order to earn wealth, the wizards pulled the poor peasants from the fields to the workshops to produce weapons and alchemy creations with higher value. Such a short-sighted move is undoubtedly the way to death!

"The kingdom is still able to maintain its dignity because they have lured those traitorous merchants with money, and they can buy enough food from the empire. They only need to cut off this commercial line. I dare say that it will take three months at most, wizard We will collapse without attacking!" Monroe concluded quite proudly.

"This is the best news I've heard!" Alves' frown suddenly relaxed, and he looked at Monroe appreciatively.

As expected, he was strongly recommended by Gustav, the commander of God's Punishment Army!

This keen insight and deduction is simply natural material for intelligence activities. It was a bit of a shame to be just an adjutant of the God's Punishment Army before!

Although he had great trust in Monroe's judgment, Alves shook his head and pointed out a shortcoming in the plan.

"Three months is too long! I suspect that when the wizards sense something is wrong, they will put all their eggs in one basket, sit back and watch the kingdom's corruption, and attack the empire aggressively!"

He couldn't imagine how armed the wizards would be after three months...

The kingdom has a population of more than 3 million people, and even a 15th draw can pull out a legion of tens of thousands of people. It only takes a week for each person to be able to skillfully control the musket and become a qualified soldier. , threatening the heavily armed God's Punishment Cavalry on the battlefield.

Not to mention the wizards' new flying machines, airships, alchemy carts, thunder cannons (electromagnetic guns) and many other powerful alchemy tools, even if the power of the entire empire is gathered, it may not be able to win this fierce battle.

"Your Majesty, what do you mean?" Monroe asked hesitantly.

"We might as well speed up this process!" Alves said in a deep voice, holding the wisdom beads in his hands, his eyes flickering, "I think you should have noticed that the actions of the wizards in the kingdom have caused dissatisfaction among some people."

Monroe's thoughts turned slightly, and he immediately thought that the Pope was referring to the nobles of the kingdom.

"Although they betrayed the empire and the church, I think some of them were forced to choose the wrong path because they were coerced by the wizards. We might as well give them another chance to prove it..." Alves said A stern gleam flashed in his eyes, and then he continued to speak.

"I will let another person handle this matter. You just need to continue to investigate information in the city of fire oil, and cooperate with it while ensuring your own safety!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Monroe nodded in reply.

He knew very well that the church could never just send him and Ivana to sneak into the kingdom. In fact, as far as he knew, there were more than 300 spies caught by the wizards, and they were still hiding in the dark. They are all the best of the best.

"If you can successfully cause chaos in the kingdom, then you will be the number one hero. After defeating these blasphemers, I will personally baptize you!" Alves said approvingly.

Monroe was so excited that he was speechless. In the past, only the top leaders of the church were eligible to be baptized by the Pope himself. This is equivalent to a guarantee leading to the pinnacle of power!

With the plan to weaken the wizarding kingdom, Alves' worries over the past few months suddenly eased a lot, and he continued. "Is there anything else you need to report?"

Monroe hesitated for a moment, and then explained many strange theories that he had heard in class these days.

From geometry, the law of celestial bodies to planetary theory...

Alves listened halfway, then raised his hand to signal Monroe not to continue, and then explained.

"Obviously, they are trying to distort the Bible. I think Gustav must have warned you that all witchcraft books contain the power of demons and are very deceptive. Asking is the best way to resist erosion!"

"I see, thank you for your warning, Your Holiness the Pope!" Monroe took it for granted, the words of these wizards were indeed very provocative.

For example, the theory of the planet, such a thing that is extremely contrary to common sense, can actually fabricate many plausible theories as evidence, confusing tens of thousands of people, and even I can't help but feel that there is such a grain of truth after listening to it.

It wasn't until now that Monroe realized that he was polluted by the knowledge of demons, and his soul was no longer pure!

Perhaps this is why the Pope wants to baptize himself personally.

Realizing this, Monroe was extremely moved, but soon thought of his companion Iweena!

She may be more polluted than herself, because in the past two days, Monroe discovered that the girl has even started to take notes in class!

This is an extremely dangerous tendency, which makes him feel deeply uneasy!

But just when Monroe was about to ask for instructions, the image of the Pope in front of him suddenly changed from clear to blurred, and the red light emitted by the crystal ball began to flicker irregularly, and then went out directly.

Monroe was taken aback immediately, and turned his head to look around suddenly, thinking that he was discovered by those wizards and interrupted his magic.

Fortunately, I remembered from Menroman that the cardinal who managed the dangerous witchcraft creation once reminded him that the 'signal' of this thing is not good, and it is best not to communicate for too long, otherwise this thing may appear The phenomenon of signal interruption...

"Damn witchcraft creation!" Monroe cursed, but there was nothing he could do.

He is not a wizard, nor does he know alchemy, so he can only make the next connection after it is fully charged.

The only good thing is that the key things have been said almost!

Monroe quickly sorted out his emotions, put away the crystal ball, opened the door and walked out.

Ivana was leaning against the wall of the living room, keeping her right hand on the hilt of the sword to prevent someone from breaking in and interrupting the call. After seeing Monroe coming out of the house, she asked curiously.

"Is everything going well, Monroe?"

"Very good, the Pope has recognized my ability and strategy!" Monroe said quite complacently, then looked around Ivana for a while, and immediately noticed the thick note hanging from the girl's waist superior.

This place was originally used to hang bibles, but is now used to keep notes written about wizarding knowledge.

Monroe said dissatisfied. "You seem to be very interested in wizard knowledge these days, right? Ivana?"

"You were too obvious, Monroe!" Ivana's face remained unchanged, but she reminded her. "Wizards have a strong thirst for knowledge. People like you who never record in class are an absolute minority. It is easy to attract their attention!"

"It was indeed my negligence." Monroe's face changed, and his tone suddenly slowed down. "You have to be extra careful, the knowledge of demons has the power to confuse people, and in-depth study is likely to distort our cognition..."

Ivana nodded hesitantly.

"One month, we can persist for one more month!" Monroe said confidently. "According to my strategy, coupled with the help of those people, at most one month, the huge magic kingdom will collapse without attack!"

a month?

Ivana sighed secretly thinking about what she had seen and heard these days.

I am afraid that the poor in the kingdom will suffer again.
