Bringing Culture to a Different World-Novel

Chapter 248

Translator: Yang_Wenli

The pictures recorded in the originium crystal were enough to unmask the truth behind the burning of the Blackwood Forest and the cruel crimes committed by the Heresy Tribunal.

The king of Farucci promptly put an end to this farce. Furthermore, he ordered for the arrest of the three ministers related to the Nation of the Holy Church on the spot.

“Your Majesty, what do you plan to do next...? Do we wage war?”

Madam Schroder’s cuffs have been removed by the knights. In a short few seconds, her position had transformed from a criminal on trial to the judge. As for the proud and arrogant ministers, they were brought away by the knights and reduced to prisoners themselves.

“War is not the best way to solve things. Karana, I know you’re burning with anger right now. I am equally so... But, if we are to declare war against the Nation of the Holy Church, it will be a major war that would last for over ten years. It might... even become a war that could implicate multiple nations.”

Even though he was feeling extremely restless, the king of Farucci kept his cool.

In this world, the Nation of the Holy Church was not a small nation. They were a major power inferior to only the Nation of Steel and the Nation of Frost.

If Farucci was to declare war, even if they win the war, they will have to pay a bitter price.

“Then, Your Majesty plans to do nothing about those treacherous deceivers? It is very possible that they’ve already killed your close friend, my husband...” said Madam Schroder.

“Your Majesty, you can begin from the City of Frostwind. That is the city closest to the Nation of the Holy Church’s border.”

Morgan voiced his proposal to the king. After a short moment of pondering, the king turned to the originium crystal placed in the center of the court.

“Let us set aside the matter regarding the Nation of the Holy Church for now. Karana, I’ve heard from Minister Farmar that... a demon had invented something evil in Norland, something that will bring about an enormous crisis to Farucci?”

There was already no one else seated next to the king. That Minister Farmar was someone who had frequent contact with the Nation of the Holy Church. He had been dragged out of the court as a criminal by the knights. But, the warning that he gave the king in the past was something the king was still weary about.

“What that demon created is called ‘movie.’ It is a completely new form of performance. Your Majesty, it will definitely not bring danger to Farucci. Instead, it will be able to bring forth a new future to Farucci.”

Madam Schroder walked to the center of the court and picked up the originium crystal. She was prepared to pour her magic power into it.

“A new form of performance? After Teacher Morgan left, it’s been a very long time since I’ve seen a stage play that interested me.”

With the king’s permission, Madam Schroder activated the originium crystal containing the movie ‘Léon: The Demon.’ Soon, the image of the movie was projected to a wall on the court.

The wall was not completely smooth. As such, the projected image was not very clear. But, that did not hinder the king’s attention from being captured by the setting of the movie.

Madam Schroder had originally thought that it would be a brief ‘inspection.’ She had only wanted to prove to the king that the originium crystal was harmless. But, the king showed no intention of stopping the movie.

When the plot of the movie entered where Léon will carry out his hitman mission, a knight entered the court and half-kneeled...

The sound emitted from the originium crystal in Madam Schroder’s hand caused the knight to look all around. But, soon, he suppressed his doubt and started carrying out his mission.

“Your Majesty! Marshal Gros and Minister Diaz are outside the Senate and seeking an audience...”

“Have them wait outside.”

The king was sitting on his chair in a comfortable posture. His eyes were focused on the screen displaying the movie ‘Léon: The Demon.’

“But, Your Majesty... Earl Ranke is also here. Earl Ranke is outside with his army of knights. His emotions are extremely unstable.”

The knight looked to Madam Schroder standing in the center of the court. That Earl was none other than her father.

“Is that so? Then you can have them come inside,” The king knew that if he was to stop them now, he could potentially cause a civil strife.

“Understood.”

The knight immediately turned around to leave upon receiving the order. But, before he could exit the court, the king’s voice sounded again.

“While you’re out there, have the servants send over a banquet!”

Banquet... in the court of law? The knight didn’t dare to ask more. After expressing that he received the order, he immediately left the court.

“Karana, you don’t mind me finishing your so-called ‘all-new performance’ here, right?” Taking advantage in the interval between the next major plot in the movie, the king turned to look at Madam Schroder standing in the court below.

“You’re still as carefree as ever. Your Majesty... this is of course no issue at all.”

Madam Schroder knew that the current king of Farucci was not a serious and harsh person.

Soon, a group of people burst into the court. Their leader was Madam Schroder’s father, Earl Ranke. When the old earl was about to loudly question the king why he arrested his daughter, he saw Madam Schroder making a hissing gesture at him.

“Men! Arrange chairs for everyone. Also, turn off the illumination originium crystals above the court,” The king gave a new order.

Because of this, this group of nobles led by Earl Ranke who charged into the court with the intention of revolting were forced to sit on chairs brought over by the servants before they could even understand what was going on. With dumbfounded expressions, they found themselves becoming new audiences to this movie.

“I know that you all have many things to say. But, please keep your calm for now. The show is starting to get real good.” The king once again gave a new order. After seeing his daughter being safe, Earl Ranke opened his mouth but, in the end, didn’t say anything and sat down on the seat.

Morgan and Madam Schroder also took seats on the chair brought over by the servants.

In order to ensure that the movie does not stop broadcasting in the middle, something that could very possibly drive the audiences mad, Madam Schroder continued to supply magic power to the originium crystal in her hand.

“Karana, please understand... Back then, for the sake of a stage play, His Majesty even delayed the parliamentary meeting to amend the laws,” Morgan revealed a bitter smile.

“I’ve heard about that. If I’m not wrong, Teacher Morgan was the one performing...”

When Madam Schroder’s voice reached this point, she grew silent for a moment. Then, she lowered her voice and asked the question she was concerned with.

“Teacher Morgan, my daughter has proceeded for Norland. By chance, did you... possess any information on her?”

“The Flower of Farucci, correct? Instead of asking me... you should ask her yourself.”

A light green leaf appeared in Morgan’s hand.

“This is... the leaf of the World Tree Gallolie wears around her neck?”

Madam Schroder received the leaf from Morgan. Then, she gently waved her hand and the magic network interface appeared before her eyes.

The magic network that did not possess any signal the entire time now had full signal.

This meant that Madam Schroder had re-established connection with Norland’s World Tree. She immediately opened the messaging function and sent a message to her daughter.
