There were many problems that needed to be solved. Crises, big and small, came one after another. Some came from the cultists, some came from the Ansu, some came from the neighboring countries, some came from the wasteland, and some … were still hidden in the fog of history. Even the sirens could not tell when and how they would appear.
But the problems had to be solved one by one, from near to far, from small to large.
The most important task at this stage was to lay the foundation and eliminate the unstable factors in the Cecil Duchy.
The first batch of promotional materials for "promoting the new doctrine of the Holy Light and correcting past mistakes" had been printed. The samples were sent to Gwen's desk. Under the pleasant afternoon sun, Gwen leaned back in his spacious and comfortable chair, looking at the promotional materials in his hand and enjoying this rare moment of leisure.
Apart from him, there was only Amber in the room. The half-elf lady had moved a chair to sit by the window. At first, she was just basking in the sun, but after a few minutes, she fell asleep. Her head rested on the window sill, snoring softly like a cat taking a nap in the sun after a meal. Her saliva flowed out along the window sill.
She was a Shadow Master, but she liked to bask in the sun. She would be sleepy when she basked in the sun, and when she was sleepy, she would lose her vigilance. Did the Shadow Goddess, whom she claimed to be a devout believer, know that her believer was so embarrassing?
Gwen shook his head, looked away from Amber, and continued to look at the sample materials in his hand.
This was not an abstruse religious scripture, nor was it a lengthy exhortation. It was a booklet written by Wright based on his own missionary experience using the simplest and most straightforward language. On the few thin pages were written the basic operation of the North Church, the truth about the atonement and the heresy trial, and the fact that the clergy had the right to interpret the scripture, thus controlling the thoughts of the believers. While writing these facts, the booklet also talked about the establishment of the new Church in the South and the basic concepts.
This was an extremely simple promotional material. It was written in vernacular, and in order to make it easier for the less literate to understand, the words used in the booklet did not exceed the scope of the "Eight Hundred Common Words List". This made it look like an old farmer with shallow knowledge and simple language was sitting opposite you, telling you the facts he had seen and heard in his simplest language. This kind of thing was not worth mentioning in the eyes of any professional clergyman or scholar, and it was even worthy of contempt. But this was exactly what Gawain wanted.
What he wanted was this kind of simple and close to the heart of the people, and this kind of narration as if the person involved had experienced it personally.
Gwen put down the booklet in his hand. He knew that tens of thousands of materials would soon be packed and shipped from the printing factory to every corner of the South, and a large part of them would be sent to the periphery of Louen City and infiltrated into the city. For the Church of Holy Light, which was still entrenched in the city, this would be a weapon more dangerous than guns and cannons, and the clergy of this era … had no experience in dealing with this kind of weapon.
At this moment, a loud buzzing sound suddenly came from the magic network communicator beside the desk, interrupting Gwen's thoughts.
Amber, who was lying on the windowsill and sleeping soundly, suddenly woke up from her sleep. The embarrassing half-elf screamed and jumped out of the window. The next second, there was a loud noise and a cry of surprise outside the window.
Gwen got up and closed the window, locking it from the inside. He then turned on the magic network communicator.
Rebecca's figure appeared above the communicator. "Ancestor! The prototype of the White Knight armor is completed! "
Gwen was a little surprised. "So fast?"
"With the experience of the magic armor and Mr. Egg's help." Rebecca giggled in the holographic projection, scratching her head and said, "It's just adding an inverter array converter. It's not that complicated."
Gwen smiled with satisfaction. "Very good, I'll be right there. Wait for me at the research institute."
Then he stepped forward and turned off the communicator. At the same time, a loud bang came from outside the window. He turned his head and saw Amber hitting the window and sliding down.
Gwen opened the window before she completely slid down. He grabbed Amber by the collar and dragged her into the house. Without saying anything, he walked out. "Come with me to the Magitech Research Institute."
Amber was like a cat who had been caught red-handed. She danced in Gwen's hand and protested loudly. "How can you do this? Don't you know I'm coming back? And what's the meaning of locking the door? I don't want to do any research now … Hey, put me down. I'll walk on my own! "
Gwen carried Amber all the way out. Along the way, the attendants and guards were already used to the scene and greeted the seigneur and the head of intelligence indifferently. It was a common sight for the seigneur and his guards to go out together. It was just that sometimes they were led, sometimes they were carried. Anyway, it was more or less the same …
Soon, Gwen saw the results of Rebecca and the others' hard work.
In Lab No.2 of the Magitech Research Institute, a majestic, heavy full-body armor stood quietly on a circular platform in the middle of the room. Rebecca, Kamel, Wright, Nicholas and the others were waiting around the platform. Several technicians were checking the status of the armor and the runes around the platform. When they saw Gwen, they temporarily put down their work and turned to salute him respectfully.
After Gwen responded, he turned his attention to the eye-catching armor. "This is the armor prepared for the White Knight?"
It was indeed a rather beautiful set of armor. Just like the enchanted armor, it was completely different from any kind of full-body armor commonly seen in this era.
The armor was silver-white in color, and it was thicker than the enchanted armor. Perhaps it was to accommodate more holy light rune base plates and inverter array components, the torso of the armor was specially designed. On the back, there was a detachable combat backpack, and between the gaps of the backpack and the armor, there was a faint flow of magical energy. On the chest of the armor, there was a large bulge, and between the pieces of the armor, there was a faint glimmer. There was also a fist-sized depression in the chest area, and there was a translucent crystal inlaid in the depression, but Hao Ren did not know what it was for.
On the left side of the armor's chest, near the heart, there was a piece of light yellow parchment with the teachings of the Holy Light written on it. This piece of parchment slightly weakened the cold and futuristic feel of the armor, reminding everyone around it of the connection between this armor and the Holy Light.
Apart from that, the most eye-catching feature of the armor was the helmet. The design of the helmet was extremely eye-catching. The thick, streamlined steel plate was directly stamped with the words of the sacred scriptures. The tactical eyepiece made of crystal was naturally integrated with the helmet, and a pair of golden wings extended out from the back of the helmet. Although it was obviously a mass-produced product, it gave the entire helmet a layer of holy religious feeling in the midst of the murderous aura of the steel.
The parchment filled with scriptures, and the helmet with holy runes and winged ornaments. Obviously, these two would be the typical symbols of the White Knight.
Gwen was very satisfied with the design of the armor. It could perfectly reflect the power of Cecil and the significance of the holy light as a part of Cecil's system. But whether it was useful or not, he had to ask Rebecca.
But the first one who couldn't help but ask a question wasn't Gawain. It was Amber, who had been yelling when she came out, but was now so curious that she couldn't wait to crawl into the armor. The half-elf lady walked around the platform, and after two rounds, she grabbed Rebecca. "Can this thing allow ordinary people to use Holy Light?"
Rebecca had a smug look on her face. "After the last experiment, we conducted a series of additional experiments to ensure safety. Now, this set of armor is ready for practical use."
As she spoke, she pointed to the structure of the armor and introduced it to Gwen. "We have optimized the previous generation of battle backpacks, reducing the number of rechargeable crystals and increasing the energy output efficiency of the backpack itself. This way, it can provide more energy to the armor. In the case of abundant energy, we have directly integrated a large number of holy light spells into the armor, including the most basic holy light spells, dispelling diseases, and blessing spells. These can all be released with the help of this special pair of armor. "
Gwen nodded as he listened. These were the most basic holy light spells, and also the first batch of holy light spells to be analyzed and transformed. From a practical point of view, the first generation of White Knight did not need to master those powerful but inconvenient high-grade divine spells. They only needed to take on the role of battlefield priests, and it was enough to greatly enhance the strength of Cecil's army and shake the faith of the traditional church.
After Rebecca finished, the egg of Nicholas floated over, and a metallic voice came from his body. "According to the design experience of enchanted armor, we have added a more effective cushioning lining to the White Knight's armor. It can better protect the wearer's safety. On the battlefield, professions with medical ability must be properly protected. In addition, due to the increase in power output of the backpack, we have added more weight-reducing runes in the lining. This will reduce the pressure on the White Knight, and they will be able to carry more supplies and equipment … "
"As a supplement, we have also added a shield crystal on the chest of the White Knight's armor," Kamel added, pointing at the eye-catching crystal on the chest of the armor. "This crystal is powered by an independent inverter array unit, and it can generate a holy light shield, which is even stronger than the force field shield currently used by Cecil's soldiers. In an emergency, the shield can cover a few meters around the White Knight. Although it only lasts for a few minutes, it is enough to protect nearby teammates in a fierce battle, and provide time for healing or evacuation."
Gwen nodded again. Just like his impression of the battlefield's priests, the White Knight's most trusted ability was their healing and protection. On the battlefield, a large group of priests who could release a wide-area shield, and could instantly cast various healing spells and blessings would greatly increase the survivability of the soldiers. It would also greatly increase the morale and resistance of the entire army during battle. Although Cecil's combat priests had to wear armor heavier than cavalry, which was a little different from other priests, the battlefield positioning of the two was not that different …
Gwen's thoughts continued until Rebecca carried out a huge long-handled warhammer.
"Now that we are done talking about protection, let's talk about the White Knight's weapon!" The roe deer maiden's eyes were shining with excitement, and she shook the long-handled warhammer on her shoulder with a face full of praise. (Say, how can a sorcerer like her have so much strength?!) "Mister Wright said that a good priest not only has to have the heart to protect the innocent, but also the strength to fight evil. Therefore, the White Knight also has a very strong combat strength. Look at this warhammer, it has a mechanical impact structure, which was inspired by the power of the Smothering Stick …"
(Damn!)
