Chapter 483 Program
Since the end of the Southern Civil War, all the church forces in the entire Southern territory have entered a certain window period. The most influential Church of Holy Light was blocked in the city of Lu'an, and the activities of missionaries also stopped. The churches of alien gods, which were already relatively weak and were scattered outside the Church of Holy Light, quickly smelled the breath of danger and actively stopped or reduced the frequency of activities in the Southern territory. It can be said that with the end of the Southern War, the spread of faith on this land has essentially become a vacuum. The only thing that is still spreading is the "Protestant faith in Holy Light" or the "pure holy light theory" that slowly penetrates out from Cecil.
With the launch of the "public opinion propaganda offensive", the slowly infiltrating Protestant beliefs will quickly fill this vacuum zone. Correspondingly, the influence of the old Holy Light Church will be hit extremely hard in this process.
Cecil's printing machine started to move.
Overwhelming newspapers and publicity materials are covering the entire southern border, and every day, every minute and every second, there are revealing and discussing articles about the Church of Holy Light that appear before people.
In the writings of Godwin Orlando and Wright, these articles analyze the behemoth of the Holy Light Church in an extremely indifferent and clear and straightforward way. The Holy Light Church was not as a noble and extraordinary force, not as a holy group with a divine halo, but as an ordinary force that needs to be maintained by power and relies on money to be placed before everyone. After eliminating all the luxurious rhetoric and concealment, people saw for the first time how the church operates, how it controls the spread of theological knowledge, how it maintains the purity of the top members, how it absorbs new people, how it accumulates wealth, how it maintains force to ensure its own status, how it fabricates lies to attack competitors...
After all the details were analyzed, every link in the operation of the Holy Light Church became sacred.
On this basis, news from Lu'ancheng, as current affairs news interspersed in the "Popular Science Column", began to quietly appear in all the prominent pages of the newspaper.
As the chief writer of the news page, Godwin Orlando's grammar skills showed great power. His articles did not require any insults or any intense emotional expressions. He just quietly stated everything in the Holy Light Church, and had awakened thousands of people.
However, newspapers alone are not enough.
Cecil City, located in a special building on the edge of the Mage District, Gipley is working hard to calm her mood.
This building was originally part of the Magic Technology Research Institute, but with the establishment of the Magic Network Communication-Broadcasting Complex System, the building was separated and independently served as the control center of Magic Network Communication-Broadcasting. On its upper level, technicians worked overtime to carry out renovation and construction. According to the experience of the first Magic Network Radio, this place was transformed into Cecil's first "studio hall" with practical significance.
Although he thought he had good psychological qualities and had strong confidence before, at this moment, Jiple still felt an irrepressible tension filling his heart.
She sat in the corridor outside the studio, looking through the window at the magic technicians inside to the final debugging of the equipment. There was a light blue room. Half of the room was left for herself, and it was arranged like an ordinary and warm living room, with simple and comfortable sofas and round tables, and soft and bright lights. The other half of the room seemed to be a huge and complex magic laboratory: three specially made large magic net terminals were placed in three different directions, and metal beams covered with magic patterns extended from the bases of those magic net terminals to the control seat at the end of the room. A row of seats and rune devices were set there to control the lighting of the entire room and the status of each magic net terminal. When the "program" began, the seats would be filled with technicians who were waiting for it.
Jiple knew that her job later was to sit on the sofa at one end of the room, facing the huge and complex magic machinery and a group of expressionless staff to read her manuscript.
Apart from the machines and technicians and a guest, she would have no other communication objects or audiences in front of her. However, in fact... countless people in the entire southern area will see themselves at the same time through the "public magic network terminals" set up in four industrial new cities and a large number of satellite towns, and their faces will appear in front of all of them.
Not many people she has seen in her life.
Jipley, who has always been proud of her eloquence, was a little scared of speaking for the first time in her life.
Just as Gipley was in tension and anxiety, a light voice suddenly came from the side, interrupting the witch's random thoughts: "Are you nervous? Just eat some candy when you are nervous~"
Jipley was startled and looked back quickly, but saw Miss Rebecca Cecil standing beside her. The noble lady with the glorious surname was wearing a loose white technician robe outside her dress. She looked like she was not as elegant as a noble lady. She looked at herself with shiny eyes, holding a handful of candy in her hand, and was handing it to herself: "Give it, I won't let you eat when I enter the studio later."
Jipley wanted to salute and decline for a moment, but when she realized it, Rebecca had already stuffed the candy into her mouth.
"It tastes delicious, there is honey in it!" Rebecca said with a smile. "If you are nervous, you will eat a piece of candy. This is what Aunt Hedy taught me, and it works very well."
"Thank you... Thank you..." Jipley held the candy in a daze, and then reacted for a while and hurriedly thanked, "You are such a kind person."
Rebecca's reaction scared the witch lady: "Wow, the first time someone has said this to me so seriously!"
Jipley was a little dull at once, but just as she was thinking about what to say, Rebecca had already jumped to the next topic: "Are you ready by the way? You seemed to have been stuck twice during the rehearsal."
"I...I think it's OK," said Gipley hurriedly, then nodded vigorously, "I must be fine."
"Actually, it's all right. All the ancestors said that playing on the spot is the most important thing. Even if you can't remember the words, you can compile them on the spot," Rebecca said with a shaking head, "And don't look at you, maybe the one who wants to play with you is even more nervous than you."
Jipley couldn't help but look back at the temporary partner who was about to appear with her.
On the chair not far away, a man who was two meters tall and particularly strong, and had a scar on his eyes was closing his eyes and resting, looking calm and calm.
A luminous little girl in a translucent state floated around there, and was trying to make a face to scare the passing people, but unfortunately she was too intimidating and failed in one fell swoop.
Gipley was a little depressed: "...I don't think Mr. Wright is nervous at all, and Miss Emily isn't nervous at all."
Rebecca also saw this, and she wanted to comfort Jiple again, but before she spoke, the ringtone that meant the equipment was ready suddenly rang.
Jiple looked up, and she looked at the debugger who was walking out of the studio and the controller who was walking into the room, then took a deep breath.
She stood up and nodded to Rebecca: "I'm in."
Rebecca showed a bright smile, clenched her fist in her chest and shook it: "Come on!"
After sitting in the focus of the three magic network terminals, Jiple felt that her whole body was a little light, and an unreal feeling grabbed her heart, making her heart beat rapidly without any effort.
She was still nervous.
Wright also walked into the studio. The man who was so strong that he didn't look like a priest sat down opposite Jipley. He smiled, and Emily, who was floating behind him, also smiled.
At this moment, Jipley felt her nervousness seemed to ease.
She looked at Emily, as the spirit girl with big eyes and a simple smile obediently disappeared into the resonance of the holy light beside Wright, and suddenly realized what she was doing here.
She felt she was ready.
"The equipment is in place and starts for five seconds."
A sound came from a certain direction. Instead of chasing the direction where the sound came, Jiple sat down on the sofa and turned his head to the three complex, huge and cold magic machines.
She remembered the first time she used a bad "divination spell" to fool a merchant in exchange for full food the next day. She was so nervous that she was dying at that time, just like today.
“………………………………………………………”
When she was lying in the poor streets and alleys of the southern border, between adventurers and mercenaries, she always used lies to protect herself and used sweet words to deceive others. But at the beginning, she didn't want to deceive anyone at all. She just wanted to have a full meal at that time.
“…two…one…one…”
Now, she has a full meal.
She is going to tell some truth today.
"start!"
Jipley smiled on her face, and that smile was sweet and kind:
"Hello everyone, everyone, I am Jipley, you can call me Miss Witch.
"I think everyone must be curious about the scene that appears in front of you, and curious about what a stranger suddenly appears in the magic projection to do about this issue. I believe everyone will know soon.
"Welcome to the first issue of Witch Time", today, we will talk about what happened in Lu'an City..."
In a room next to the studio, a magic net terminal used for testing was activated. With the holographic projection crystal filled with magic power, a stable and clear image appeared above the crystal, and along with it, Jiple's sweet voice was also present.
Gao Wen looked at the scene and voice in front of him, turned his head slightly, and said to Hetty beside him: "The person who Amber recommends is OK."
"It's indeed better than expected," Hetty nodded, "just be able to maintain his current state."
At this moment, the door of the room was suddenly pushed open. Rebecca, who looked happy, walked in with a light step. As soon as he entered the room, he said happily: "Sir Ancestor! The latest feedback has been returned. The magic network terminals in various places have been successfully turned on!"
Then she also noticed the test sounds and pictures in the room and immediately showed her happy look: "Miss Giple is doing a great job!"
"Well..." Gao Wen touched his chin, but suddenly he was a little confused, "But by the way, I remember this show is called Cecil Miscellaneous Talks"... This is the name I gave..."
Rebecca was stunned: "Hey, is that true?"
"...It seems that she forgot the words, but now she has made one," Gao Wen turned around and looked at the test sounds and pictures in the center of the room with a strange expression. "The telephony cards on the table are unsuccessful... But the name she has made is not bad."
