Tang En was looking for Einstein Behren's artificial soul technology because he wanted to use the computing power of artificial souls to realize the intelligent function of computers. He wanted to use artificial souls to build servers and transmit information based on the research of the theory of magic waves, thus solving the problem of mobile phones.
In the current Prandal, a very important factor that hindered the development of society was the sluggish nature of information. Therefore, it was necessary to innovate the means of communication. Unexpectedly, before the mobile phone problem was solved, the artificial soul brought an unexpected surprise to Tang En: the mass-production technology of miniaturized magic circles was solved first.
After they finished discussing the final plan in the lab, they immediately dispersed and began to act separately.
Nokia was responsible for sorting out the production process of the magic pistols and the various magic chips needed.
Brian was responsible for the extraction and in-depth processing of the raw materials, as well as the production of various spare parts needed for the production line.
Eustisa was responsible for making a batch of blank artificial souls, only instilling the basic learning and reaction instructions.
Tang En was responsible for making the corresponding alchemy puppets according to the production process.
Tang En was the fastest to complete the task. Because the Radiant Church had something to ask him, after he finished making the alchemy puppet samples, he threw them to Eustisa and rushed to Alinx himself.
"Mas — Tang En Majesty!"
Eluri, the Saintess, immediately rushed over after receiving the news. "I finally got in touch with you!"
"I heard that you went to Ellington to look for me?"
Tang En wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. It had been so long, and Eluri still couldn't control her impulse? The power of the contract was too strong, wasn't it?
"Yes, because something happened and I have to discuss it with you. His Holiness the Pope got the news and is on his way."
Eluri was very happy to see Tang En, but there were many stern-faced church personnel around, so she didn't dare to be too presumptuous, so she could only endure the impulse of her body and lead the way in small steps.
"On his way? He's not in the church? "
"He's in the palace discussing this matter with Her Highness Aurelia."
Eluri said helplessly, "This matter is more troublesome."
Tang En frowned. The Pope was in a hurry to find Aurelia? It seemed that this matter was really troublesome.
After arriving at the garden behind the cathedral, the surroundings were much quieter. After Eluri dismissed all the trainees and knights, she couldn't help but sit close to Tang En. She lowered her head, and her whole face was bright red.
The atmosphere became more and more awkward. However, doing something with the Saintess in such an environment … Although it would be exciting, he felt that he wasn't that thirsty yet.
"Ahem, can you tell me what happened?"
"Ah, um, oh … Yes, that's right."
Eluri, who was a little shy, sat up straight in a panic. Then she stared at her twirling fingers and said in a low voice, "Since you ascended the throne and stabilized the Irus Empire, the chaos in various places has been calmed down, and the trade in each town has returned to normal. Well, it's better to say that because of the new policies you implemented, trade has become more popular than before."
"The trade between Taris and Alinx has also resumed. Then, a few caravans traveling between Taris and Alinx suddenly disappeared. At first, those people thought that the caravans had encountered bandits or were attacked by magic beasts, so they didn't take it seriously. But as time went by, more and more people went missing, and finally it attracted the attention of the Mercenary Guild."
"The Mercenary Guild issued a reward, and a large number of mercenaries went to investigate and find out the truth."
Tang En frowned. "And the result?"
"The result was that traces of demon activity were found."
Eluri whispered. "It's not a projection, not a clone, but a real demon that came to Prandal."
Demon? Another demon?
Tang En froze for a moment. In Hohnheim, he had just encountered a demon, and here there were traces of another demon?
"Although only low-level demons were found, it represented a very serious situation. The Mercenary Guild immediately issued a reward, and a large number of Mercenary Guilds jointly accepted the task of eliminating the demons and investigating the truth."
Yi Luli bitterly smiled and said, "They went and won. Although they defeated a small group of demons, a few large mercenary guilds suffered heavy casualties and had no choice but to retreat. But then something happened — —"
"— Someone found that the demons sent out some kind of magic signal before they died. The signal was transmitted through the rift on the ground to the Abyss of Purgatory in the depths of the earth. After discussion, we finally determined that the signal might be a signal to call for companions."
The Pope's voice suddenly came from the side. He strode to the side and said with a smile, "You're finally here, Tang En Majesty."
To Tang En's surprise, even Aurelia came back with the Pope.
"Why are you here too?"
Aurelia said helplessly. "You're the king, but you disappear every day. Mother is not in the mood for politics now. You threw everything to me, and you still have the nerve to ask me why I'm here?"
"Tang En Majesty." The Pope stopped smiling and looked at him very seriously. "The situation this time is very serious. Perhaps, if we're not careful, we'll have to go to war with the Abyss of Purgatory."
"Go to war? Don't be ridiculous. "
Tang En glanced at the Pope. "Can we beat them?"
"… No."
Yes, the answer was very cruel. If they went to war with the demons, there was only one result for humans, and that was total annihilation.
Chaos would increase its own strength according to the strength of the opponent, but it could not replicate the increase in combat power brought by external equipment. Therefore, there were rules and bugs to be followed to deal with Chaos.
But demons were different from Chaos. They did not have any bugs to be exploited. Fighting with them was a head-on confrontation. Only by crushing them with strength could one defeat them.
However, a head-on confrontation between humans and demons?
That would be a joke. The real masters of this world were never humans.
There were many Legendary Champions like Jean and Angus among the demons and demons. Although they were not rampant, they were still much more than humans. If they had the idea of exterminating humans, humans would not be able to resist their attack.
Fortunately, the demons abided by the teachings of the God of Darkness Apophis. They only moved in the Abyss of Purgatory. As for the demons, they were blocked by the demons on the Bloody Battlefield and could not leave the Abyss of Purgatory.
"Wait?"
Tang En was suddenly startled. "Underground? The Abyss of Purgatory? Shouldn't the Abyss of Purgatory be in another plane? "
"Who told you that?"
The Pope looked at Tang En in surprise. "The Abyss of Purgatory is in the depths of the earth beneath our feet. Isn't that common sense?"
What the heck, what kind of common sense is this?!
"I'm not well-educated, don't lie to me!"
Tang En was stunned. Although his academic results were average, he still remembered the crustal structure of the earth's crust, mantle, and core clearly. The earth's crust was quite thick, so the dark elves, Redstone Dwarves, and those lizards could live underground for so many years. But now, you're telling me that there's a large space under the earth's crust?
And it's the legendary Abyss of Purgatory!
"I'm really not lying to you …"
The Pope was very innocent. "If you don't believe me, let Eluri explain."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Eluri said softly, "This is what the gods said themselves. They divided the regions according to the form of life. The elves ruled the forests, the dwarves ruled the mountains, the humans occupied the plains, the orcs conquered the desert, the Dragons ruled the sky, and the Nagas controlled the sea … This is our region, and the depths of the earth belong to the demons' Purgatory."
Are you challenging my common sense again?
Tang En's mouth twitched. Could it be that Prandal was a hollow planet?
If it was really hollow, how could such a huge volume maintain structural stability? Could the strength of gravity really constrain the atmosphere?
"Alright, alright. Let's assume that what you said is true. Then what?"
Tang En asked helplessly, "Why did you call me here?"
The Pope said matter-of-factly, "Of course, it's to defend against the invasion of the demons in advance!"
"Invasion? Do they have a chance to invade? Weren't they blocked by the demons on the Bloody Battlefield? "
"Normally, it's impossible for the demons to have a chance to invade here, but now there's an unexpected situation."
"Unexpected, another unexpected situation. I hate unexpected situations."
Tang En complained, "What's the point of them invading the surface?"
"There's no point. Of course, to the demons, they don't need any point."
The Pope spread his hands and said with a bitter smile, "Demons are not demons. There's basically no possibility of communication. Their instinct is to destroy everything in front of them."
Can't communicate?
Tang En frowned slightly. "But I met the soul of a demon in Hohnheim a while ago. It also tried to tempt the members of the Hohnheim family to reconstruct its body."
The Pope said flatly, "Impossible. Demons won't use this kind of trick. This is the usual means of the demons."
"But it's the truth."
Tang En frowned and suddenly asked, "The Knights Templar have been dispatched?"
"Yes, except for the members who are scattered all over the country to hunt down the remnants of the Dark Serpent and have not returned, half of the standby personnel have been dispatched with Lyon. This time, a total of 500 Knights Templar have been dispatched."
"Five hundred!"
Tang En sucked in a breath of cold air. "That's really a big deal. They're really taking this seriously!"
"This is just the vanguard."
The Pope said calmly, "If Lyon determines the traces and numbers of the demons, the remaining 1,500 Knights Templar will immediately set off. At the same time, the Knights Templar scattered all over Prandal will also gradually gather."
"From the moment the Radiant Church was born, it was to protect mankind."
"And demons are no less harmful to mankind than Chaos."
