Chapter 525
by post_apiChapter 525: Rumors
Three days later…
The Corleone family’s promotion of the Church of Dawn Goddess did not cause any waves, after all, this kind of thing happens often.
This time, they invited a real expert to explain what Aurora Glory is.
This newspaper was issued by the Corleone family; it was a free newspaper and was snatched up as soon as it was released.
Although the newspaper is not worth much, it is still seen as useful by ordinary people, especially because of the report on the Church of Dawn Goddess, as well as gossip about popular movie stars and some sexy photos of models.
Yes… there are both male and female models.
Of course, rich people can buy this newspaper too, but they get the colored version, especially some special editions that have magic crystal powder on them.
Regular people read the black and white version, while those who pay get the colored one, and the rich see animated pictures.
Although it can only move three times, watching Celica release Aurora Glory or those models show off their figures is definitely worth it.
A dance hall in the City of Freedom.
"Boss, I found something really good," a young boy said mysteriously to the tavern owner.
The owner wiped a glass and glanced at him, saying, "What kind of silly magic crystal movie is it this time? Take that to the underground casino or film hall; I won’t take it here."
"No, no, no, this is a truly good thing," the boy’s eyes lit up. "It’s the real deal, showing Aurora Glory."
"Oh?" The owner paused for a moment. "Then get me one."
The boy rubbed his fingers together.
The boss huffed and took out a small bag of Forged Coins.
During the City of Freedom Incident, the Church of the Dawn Goddess played a big part, and most people except Celica died in battle.
After this battle, the number of believers in the Dawn in City of Freedom increased.
The young man smiled and placed the magic crystal on the table, "I heard that there is a new technology in Canglang Province called a camera, which can record these things without magic."
"That’s amazing! Is it expensive?" The boss became interested.
"It has just been released… This isn’t just for fighting; it’s sold in the black market and is really expensive. In short, you record first, then play it back. It’s much more costly than regular magic crystals, but it can be used many times, unlike magic crystals, which can only be used twice before they’re gone."
"I see." The boss didn’t think too much and planned to see if he could buy it for a lower price later.
If the price is reasonable, I can get one.
It’s not time for dancing yet; the guests are discussing international affairs and the incredible nine-step battle of Karoso.
Discussing this cannot be separated from Karosocultist’s identity.
A person’s memory is closely related to the amount of information.
In the modern online world, there is not much memory; netizens often forget what they saw a few days ago because there is simply too much information.
In ancient times, it was different; entertainment was not very developed, and some important events could be talked about for years.
Although this era is not as backward as ancient times, the intake of information is still at the level of the Republic era, and it is normal for news to spread for several days, or even months.
While they were discussing, a video began to play on the whiteboard in the dance hall.
As soon as the video started, the people present became restless.
"Karoso!"
"It’s him, he’s a follower of the evil god!"
"Damn it, has this dance hall been taken over by an evil god?"
"Church of the Lord of Eternity!"
"Am I… going to turn into a ghoul?"
"I don’t want to be a Death Knight!"
"I don’t want to die, I really don’t want to die!"
Some people turned and ran, some stood frozen in place, and some hid under tables.
The boss’s face changed, damn it, that little brat tricked me!
We have worked together for so long, and he dared to betray me!
When I find him again, I will shoot him on the spot no matter what.
As a result, just as he was about to turn off the projector, he saw Karoso posing like Celica.
Buzz!
In the image, the dazzling Aurora Glory shined on Karoso.
Karoso swung his long sword, and the Aurora Glory struck a demon.
Bang!
The demon didn’t even react before being purified by the Holy Light.
This footage was recorded in the far north, where some demons still linger.
With Presea’s defenses in place, the powerful demons can no longer leave that area, and they don’t dare to trouble humans now.
"Aurora Glory? Karoso?" The boss was shocked and speechless, "Even a follower of the evil god can use Aurora Glory?"
Similar things are happening all over the City of Freedom and even around the world.
Thieves are everywhere, selling the magic crystals they have taken.
From the images shown by the magic crystal, it is clear that Karoso can use Aurora Glory!
Why can a person defined by the authorities as a cultist use Aurora Glory?
……
The camp of the revolutionary army to which Teresa belongs.
"Teresa, is he really a cultist?" Ryleyev, along with a group of students who are also new leaders, is confronting Teresa.
A few days ago, news was spreading everywhere, and Teresa only responded lightly that she would give you an answer in a few days, then closed the door and focused on taking over Laria.
Now, she is finally willing to show herself.
"Cultist?" Teresa looked coldly at the people in front of her. "Is this how you see our ally?"
"We see him as an ally only if he deserves to be one," Ryleyev said angrily. "If he is a cultist, then he is using us, and after we win, he will surely sacrifice all of us!"
Ryleyev’s worries are not without reason.
There was once a mayor who did just that, sacrificing everyone in the entire city.
In the previous City of Freedom, everyone almost got sacrificed too.
The followers of the Lord of Eternity cannot be judged by ordinary thoughts; if he sacrifices you, he might believe he is doing it for your own good, to help you pursue eternal life.
Like that mayor, until his death he thought that others had betrayed him.
If Karoso is truly a follower of the Lord of Eternity, then theoretically, he could sacrifice all the civilians to summon the Lord of Eternity.
"Hmph." Teresa took out a magic crystal and played a video.
"This is…" Ryleyev frowned slightly, "Does it prove he has mastered another rule?"
"Look at this newspaper, you bunch of fools!" Teresa threw the newspaper at Ryleyev’s face. "Elder Celica of the Church of Dawn Goddess said it herself, a cultist cannot use Aurora Glory."
"One light, one dark, one holy, one evil, how can he use two different types of powers?"
"You fools, Karoso having the power of the Lord of Eternity is just a trick, he is not a cultist at all, they are framing him!"
