Gold is Justice

Compared with the high priest's current ease, the three elders of the Magic Association still looked shocked.

They stared at Ariel, who was still holding the flame in her hand, over and over again. One of them couldn't help it, and stood up and stretched out his hand towards Ariel. A water-blue magic circle immediately surrounded Ariel. The soles of the feet emerge!

"Ah... what is this... what?!"

Ariel looked a little nervous as she looked at the water-colored magic circle at the bottom of her feet.But when she looked up at the Great Elder in front of her, she found that the expression on the Great Elder's face was even more frightened!It can even be said... frightened to a level of confusion!

"How about it?"

The other two great elders hurried over and asked softly.

But the great elder who cast the detection magic had a livid face, slowly put down his hand, and said softly: "On her body... I didn't detect any fire element magic affinity or other magic power Affinity...but that's not important."

"What's even more frightening is...after I cut off all the fire elements around her with a water magic circle...the flame in her hand...can still burn...! This...this..."

Although, the dialogue between these three elders seemed very light, and it was not disclosed to outsiders.But as the crown prince, Menglang clearly saw the water magic circle under Ariel's feet.

Having been on the battlefield before, he of course understands the magic circle that the most powerful water mages in the Blue Bay Empire like to use most.So at this moment, a little excitement flickered on his face again, and he became more interested in the flame in Ariel's hand.

The author has something to say: I found a good website, all serialized here: Lanwen.com (LANWENS.COM)

"Ariel, don't you...don't have fire elemental affinity? If you don't have fire elemental affinity, how did you ignite this fire?"

Accompanied by the crown prince's inquiry, Ariel let go of the hand holding the gun, and the flame on the small box immediately disappeared.She smiled slightly and said, "Reporting to Your Highness, I really don't have any elemental affinity. But you can see that even if I don't have elemental affinity, as an ordinary person, I don't need fire, I don't need flint, You don't need strips and sticks, you don't need whale oil, you can use this little device to light the fire at will."

"If what the great elder of the association said just now is correct, then by using this small device, can I also be considered to have become a basic fire magician?"

As soon as this remark came out, the people from both the Association and the Holy See immediately became vigilant. They all turned their heads to stare at the maid, as if they had begun to understand what was going on here.

There was a look of joy on Meng Lang's face, and he asked curiously: "Then Ariel, this thing, is this some kind of magic item? Is there something that only you can use to identify the owner through magic power?"

Ariel shook her head lightly, and said: "No, Your Highness. If you like, you can also immediately master the power to ignite the flame anytime and anywhere. When using it, you only need to avoid putting your face in this small box." Just above the opening, and then grab it with one hand and press the button with the other hand. The previous version was cranked to create the flame, but now we have improved it, and just press the button.”

While speaking, Ariel stretched out her hands, and handed out the small box in her hands to the front.Meng Lang immediately patted the table and waved his hand happily.A servant next to him hurried forward and took the small box from Ariel's hand.

"Your Highness! Absolutely not!"

But at this moment, the great elder of the association jumped up and shouted loudly——

"His Royal Highness, I know what this is! This is a gift from the devil! This is the power of the devil obtained by worshiping the devil and trading with the devil. It is an unknown and destructive power!"

Accompanied by the standing up of the great elder of the association, after the high priests of the Holy See on the other side glanced at Ariel, the slave, the leading high priest also stood up immediately, and said: "His Royal Highness, although the situation raised by the great elder is somewhat Extreme, but this magic item is indeed a bit imaginative of the tool of devil worship that was raging in the imperial city in the past two years. It is really impossible to guarantee that this devil item is not some kind of terrible killing tool! Your Highness uses it casually, I am afraid it is really It's dangerous, so it's better not to touch it."

Meng Lang, who was about to reach out to take it, became hesitant when he heard the Great Elder and the High Priest speak at the same time.After thinking for a while, he looked at the box handed over by the servant and said, "Devil worship? Is it the devil worship that occurred in the empire two years ago? I remember the name of that cult..."

Seeing that the Crown Prince was a little shaken, the Great Elder quickly said: "Origin Guild, the name of that cult is Origin. At first glance, it looks like a registered ordinary guild, but in fact it is using the ordinary guild as a cover. An evil cult of devil worship. They use some kind of terrible ritual to make a deal with the devil in exchange for the power of the devil, so that some people who have not been favored by the gods can also use magic power. However, this is a completely Things that violate the laws of nature. The demonic power of this cult has caused a large number of casualties. Although those demonic powers appear to be able to provide people with power, they will undoubtedly end in the destruction of users. This is absolutely correct!"

Hearing the elder's words, the servant holding the box trembled involuntarily. Looking at the "demon prop" in his palm, his legs began to tremble.

Meng Lang thought for a while, then turned his head to look at the Holy See on the other side, and said, "High Priest, I remember that you, the Bright Holy See, also contributed to the work of eradicating the cult. Is this true?"

Seeing that the fierce waves are becoming more and more inclined to the traditional side, the high priest also stood up and said with a smile: "Yes, Your Highness. The origin of the cult has harmed the people, and even made some rumors that damage the reputation of the God of Light, and falsely claimed that it can bestow light on ordinary people." There is no power given by God. Such words that slander God are undoubtedly a cult and an act of the devil."

At this point, the expression on Meng Lang's face became serious.

As for Ariel who was waiting below, her back was already drenched in cold sweat again.

She originally thought that this was just a small toy, such a small toy should not encounter resistance, right?

But I didn't expect that just after taking out this little toy, it was immediately suppressed by both the association and the Holy See!

It seems that these vested interests who lie on the affinity of magic power really hate the appearance of the elemental machine.

At this time, Ariel even started to pray involuntarily.While praying, her eyes involuntarily moved to the dining table beside her, looking at her teacher Connor Conservative with a little help.



Chapter 21 A New Future

However, even this teacher turned his head away immediately after meeting Ariel's eyes, and stopped looking at her.Now, all eyes are on the crown prince's face.And with the two major magical forces in the country completely opposing it, the crown prince couldn't help showing a little bit of embarrassment.

But when he turned his head to look at his wife, trying to seek some support from her, Natalie stretched out her hand, held his hand tightly, and shook her head cautiously.

Seeing his wife's objection, this seemed a bit unexpected to Menglang.But obviously, the wife is now pregnant, and the weakness in her eyes has proved that staying the same is the best result.

yes……

No one wants to change.

After all, change means risk, and change means that the place where you can lie comfortably becomes less comfortable, and may even become dire straits.

It's like a frog staying in the water, as long as the external forces don't appear so excessive, then it would rather be burned to death slowly than jump out of the warm water!

However, is the current Blue Bay Empire a country where people can lie down safely and comfortably?

For these nobles, perhaps.

But for the ruler of this empire, every aspect of this empire has long been covered with various large and small cracks!If you don't change it, sooner or later...

Sooner or later... one day!

"You, light this thing."

Finally, the Crown Prince suddenly spoke.He pointed to the servant and asked him to operate the small box.

This kind of behavior made the servant lose his soul in fright. He quickly knelt in front of the crown prince and cried out in tears: "Please forgive me! Your Highness... Your Highness, I beg you to spare my life!"

"Ignite this thing! Otherwise, I'll kill your head right now!"

The sound of the violent waves seemed a little determined, and he even drank it loudly!

Such a firm move stunned everyone in the Holy See and the association.Although they knew that the crown prince was a relatively tough person, they did not show such a tough attitude during the regency less than two years before this.

Threatened by the fierce waves, the servant finally picked up the box in fear, tears and snot rolling down his face.

His hands tremblingly hugged the box, his eyes full of fear!Then, when he pressed his trembling thumb on the button, after hesitating for a long time, he finally gritted his teeth and pressed it!

Everyone... everyone except Ariel, at this moment, instinctively raised their heads backwards and raised their hands to protect their faces.

Yes, all of them.

then……

The quiet flame continued to dance gently in the servant's palm.

There is no rage, nor is it out of control, just here so quietly, beating and flashing...

The tears in the corners of the servant's eyes hadn't dried yet, he gasped heavily, looking at the flame in his palm.

As the flame burned quietly, the look of fear on his face also slowly disappeared.

Perhaps, for such a slave, it is a unique and novel experience that a flame can really be ignited with a small movement of his thumb.

"give me."

Meng Lang immediately stretched out his hand and opened his mouth.

The servant was stunned for a moment, then quickly withdrew his gaze from staring at the flame, released the button, and handed the box up with both hands.

In the same way, the fierce wave is also grabbing the box.Only this time he grabbed it with one hand, and after pressing it with his thumb, the flame continued to burn quietly.

Let go of your thumb, and the flames disappear.Press the thumb, and the flame reignites.

Compared with a torch that cannot be freely controlled at all, this is simply too convenient!And just holding such a gadget, I feel like I have become a flame mage. This feeling of being able to hold the flame in the palm of my hand is no different from those mages, right? ?

"Come on, Natalie, try it? It's easy."

Meng Lang handed the box to his wife next to him, but Natalie frowned, pointed at her belly, smiled, and waved her hand.

Meng Lang didn't force it, and handed the box to the second prince Tidal who was next to him. Tidal and Alice pressed the button one after another. Seeing the feeling of the flame burning in their palms, the two of them also showed surprise and excitement. Joyful expression.

"Ariel, how long have you been making this thing? Is this the only one?"

While others kept passing this small box and feeling the thrill of controlling the flame, Menglang finally turned his attention back to Ariel in front of him and asked.

Ariel pulled up her skirt and saluted the crown prince again, and said with a smile, "Return to Your Highness, this is just a prototype. As long as there are suitable materials, the manufacturing process is not complicated and can be mass-produced. Twenty With a principal of about one gold coin, it can support a dozen or twenty a month, so it shouldn’t be a problem.”

The crown prince laughed, and after thinking about it, he said, "It can be mass-produced, which is more convenient than torches and flints. It can be turned on and off at any time... so how long can it be used?"

Ariel said: "We once did an experiment. After lighting it up for a day and a night, the magic power crystal inside was exhausted, so it went out."

Meng Lang nodded: "It can be lit continuously for a day and a night... that is a long time. So, what is the name of this thing?" Ariel smiled slightly and said: "There is no name yet. If His Highness the Crown Prince is willing If so, I hope you will come up with a name for this gadget."

Meng Lang waved his hand: "Okay! Then let me think about it... This thing can be used to make fire, and it is very convenient to carry... How about calling it... a pocket fire? It means a flame that can be carried in a pocket. "

Hearing that the Crown Prince named this prop, Ariel finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, as soon as you give something a name, you automatically develop some emotional connection to that thing.That way, you won't be afraid of suddenly going back on your word.

"Your Highness, this is really... This is a plan of the devil... Is there any reason in the world that people who are not familiar with magic power can use magic power casually?"

Seeing that many nobles present started to ignite the pocket fire, the voice of the Great Elder also began to look a little weak.

The crown prince thought for a while, and then said: "Elder Elder, it is really difficult to imagine under normal circumstances. But let's change our thinking. Doesn't the Holy See also say that it can change the owner of the magic element?"

The high priest of the Holy See was stunned for a moment: "This...ah, Your Highness, the magic power transfer of our Holy See needs to go through a series of strict rituals, and it needs the consent of the saint before we can communicate with the God of Light. Carry out the transfer of magic power. This... this is different!"

Menglang waved his hand, and said with a bit of boredom: "Okay, okay, let's not talk about this topic. Ariel, besides flames, do you have other things that can be used to release magic power? For example, water flow? Electric? Light or something?"

Hearing this sentence, the people from both the association and the Holy See were shocked again!Immediately, they both turned to the maid, looking at her with guarded, disgusted, and even horrified expressions on their faces.

In this regard, Ariel could only sigh helplessly, and said: "I'm sorry, Your Highness, we haven't developed other props due to time constraints. However, if Your Highness is willing to give me enough time and financial support If so, I believe it will not be long before this kind of machine will be able to bloom their most brilliant light!"

Meng Lang was slightly taken aback, and said, "You want funds? In other words, can you really develop more interesting gadgets like this?"

Ariel nodded slightly: "Yes, Your Highness. However, this is not a small thing. Next, I hope to introduce someone to Your Highness. At the same time, he will also bring a very interesting 'big thing'. Through this 'big thing', I hope His Highness can see more clearly the great application prospects of these things."

Now, Meng Lang has looked very happy.He immediately waved his hand and said, "Yes! Show all your things! I want to see how interesting this thing is!"

Ariel saluted again in the direction of the crown prince, then turned around and walked to the edge of the banquet, and said a few words to the two soldiers who were in charge of delivering the message.Afterwards, the two soldiers left, and not long after, the members of Song of the Mermaid accompanied the carriage and walked slowly to the center of the royal garden, showing it in front of everyone.

Menglang narrowed his eyes, looked at the thing that looked like a carriage parked in the middle of the garden, and said, "Ariel, what is this?"

Ariel saluted again, turned her head, and looked at Tesla who walked in together.

At this moment, the assembler's face was covered with sweat, and he seemed to be about to collapse.It was obviously impossible for this pale guy with trembling hands and feet to explain this matter clearly.

No way, I still have to come by myself.

"Dear Your Highness, this is a very interesting item that can also be very useful. Like the Pocket Fire just now, this item can be used very conveniently by anyone. Depending on the purpose, it can even reach a distance. Beyond the level of some magical powers. Just before I invite you to watch this thing, I wish I could make a statement."

After a short pause, Ariel continued—

"Because our time and funds are limited, the appearance of this prop may be a little... ugly. I still hope that you can be mentally prepared. Ah, but on the other hand, I am here to assure you absolutely The safety of this prop! You only need to accept the appearance of this prop, and you will actually find it very convenient.”
