Chapter 604

One night passed in a flash. Arthur and Ainz drank countless bottles of wine and smoked countless cigarettes in the study.

That night, Arthur also learned more about Tianyuan Continent and the Federation of All Worlds from Ainz.

After a comparison, he found that the Bright Continent was simply a backward and barbaric place, full of chaos and disorder. Not to mention the comparison with Tianyuan Continent, even the Abyss could not compare.

Therefore, he also made up his mind to lead the Bright Continent to embrace true light and freedom.

When Ainz came, Arthur was still the emperor of the Magic Empire. When he left, Arthur became a member of the Bright Continent Reform Committee and a warrior fighting for freedom.

That day, he issued a decree in the court to fully promote mobile phones in the Magic Empire. Whether it was the royal nobles, the ministers of various departments, or the teachers and students of the Magic Academy, they all had to have their own mobile phones.

And not long after he announced this decree, several bad news came one after another.

"Your Majesty, this is bad. Just now, the Church of Bright Light officially announced to the whole continent that our Magic Empire has been eroded by the power of darkness. Your Majesty has been bewitched by the devil and fallen into the arms of darkness. At present, the 500,000 Crusaders of the Church of Light are rapidly gathering at the border of the Magic Empire!"

"Your Majesty! King Bronzebeard of the Dwarf Kingdom has also officially declared war on our Magic Empire. He is leading an army of 500,000 Dark Iron Dwarves to our border!"

"Your Majesty! King Thranduil of the Elf Kingdom has officially declared war on our Magic Empire..."

"Your Majesty, King Azog of the Orc Kingdom has officially declared war on our Magic Empire..."

"Your Majesty, Gandalf, the president of the Mages' Guild, has officially declared war on our Magic Empire..."

......

Whenever a messenger appeared in the hall, the faces of the princes, nobles and ministers in the hall would become more ugly.

When the five declarations of war were presented, everyone in the hall was in an uproar. Everyone's face was filled with fear, and panic and anxiety quickly spread.

"Why is this happening? Why did the Church of Light suddenly declare war on us, and even the Mage's Guild got involved?"

"Yes, if it was just the orcs, dwarves, and that bunch of elves, we wouldn't be worried at all, but why did the Mage's Guild and the Church of Light get involved?"

"What dark power erosion, what being bewitched by the devil, when has our Magic Empire been eroded by darkness?"

"Excuses! They're all excuses. They're just excuses they made up to annex us!"

"It's over now. They all attacked our Magic Empire together. How can we resist it?"

"Should we explain to the people of the Church of Light that our Magic Empire has not been eroded by dark power? Maybe all this is just a misunderstanding."

Not only were the ministers in the palace panicking, but even Arthur was very puzzled.

The Magic Empire, the Church of Light, and the Mage's Guild have been the three pillars on the Bright Continent for many years. In order not to break the balance of power, the three parties have never declared war on each other.

He couldn't figure out why the Church of Light and the Mage's Guild suddenly came to attack him this time.

Just when he was puzzled, a report came from outside the hall again.

"Your Majesty, the messenger of the Church of Light has arrived."

"The messenger of the Church of Light? Let him in."

A few minutes later, a red-robed cardinal appeared in the hall.

As soon as the cardinal entered the hall, he said straight to the point:

"Your Majesty, I am here to pass on the message of His Holiness the Pope. He has predicted through the Great Prophecy that the Magic Empire has been eroded by the power of darkness, and Your Majesty has also been bewitched by the devil, but it is not irreversible."

"If Your Majesty is willing to give up the power from the devil and take the initiative to expel the power of darkness from the Magic Empire, then this war may be avoided."

As soon as the cardinal said this, the ministers present immediately felt a glimmer of hope.

Arthur looked puzzled and asked, "What dark power, what devil, how come I don't know?"

"I haven't been bewitched by anyone, I am still me, is there something wrong with your Pope's prophecy?"

"Our Pope's prophecy will definitely not have any problems. He predicted that the devil's messenger brought Pandora's Box to meet His Majesty yesterday, and His Majesty opened the box and released the dark power of corruption. Now the evil power is spreading rapidly, but there is still room for recovery."

When the cardinal said this, everyone in the Magic Empire in the hall looked at each other.

Unconsciously, they remembered the situation when Ainz brought a mobile phone to the palace yesterday.

Pandora's Box was not seen, but there was a mobile phone box, and the dark power of corruption was not seen, but there were quite a few fun and easy-to-use mobile phones.

"This archbishop, can you explain it more clearly, what exactly does the dark power of corruption refer to?" First Duke Aragon asked puzzledly while watching the skit.

"Yeah, it makes us confused. There is no such thing as dark and corrupt power." Another marquis frowned as he flipped through a novel on his phone.

"That's right, you charlatans like to talk nonsense, and your words are like riddles." The dean of the Imperial School of Magic casually liked a piece of old-age poisonous chicken soup on his phone, and after liking it, he did not forget to show the phone screen to the military minister next to him.

"Old John, look, this is what your family is like. The discord between children is mostly due to the lack of morality of the elderly. The problem with your sons who have been fighting is mostly due to you. You should reflect on it. I will share this video with you."

"Really?"

"Of course it's true. The videos of this master are very reasonable, and this one is also very good. A man is a son when he is young, a husband when he is an adult, a father when he is old, and himself after he dies."

At this time, Arthur, who was sitting on the throne, also spoke.

"Archbishop, how about this? You take a cell phone back to your pope, I'll make a video call to him, and we'll have a good chat. You said that I don't know what the dark power of corruption is. After all, war is not a trivial matter. Don't fight if you can."

"And I am 100% sure that I have not been bewitched by any devil. Don't you have a spell to detect evil power? You can detect it."

Hearing this, the archbishop thought about it first, and then used his staff to poke the ground. In an instant, a spell wave swept the entire hall.

After the spell, the archbishop also fell into deep thought, because he did not feel any evil power.

"Could it be that the pope really predicted it wrong?"

"Yes, he must have predicted it wrong. What Pandora's box, what dark power of corruption, look at your majesty, how can he look like a corrupted person."

As soon as this was said, the red cardinal immediately looked up at Arthur on the throne.

Arthur was glowing, full of energy, and looked very positive.

The queen beside him was also radiant, with delicate makeup, and both of them were sincere from the heart.

The ministers were the same, all of them were very happy and relaxed.

What kind of devil could bewitch people like this?

At this time, the cardinal suddenly remembered what Arthur had just said.

"Your Majesty, what did you just say? You want to make a video call to our Pope? What is a video?"
