The wizard era begins with the alchemist wizard

Chapter 540: The Royal Court Starts the War

The emergence of the Miracle Monk ensured the military strength of the Order of Miracles, but in order to control this force, in addition to strict screening, Richard added an extra step of mental suggestion.

Through the magic armor engraved with mental suggestion, all miracle monks will be planted with the seeds of faith to be loyal to the church.

The seed of faith will take root and sprout as the miracle monk grows, and then become deeply rooted. And removing this seed requires the cooperation of the miracle monk himself.

In other words, unless the current situation faced by the Miracle Monk causes his personality to produce thoughts that are contrary to the seeds of faith, external force alone will not only fail to remove the seeds of faith, but will make the seeds of faith grow more firmly.

Richard obviously would not allow the church to degenerate to the point where even priests with firm faith could not tolerate it.

Under Richard's instruction, Anson quickly learned the entire transformation operation and the preparations for the transformation operation. After learning all this, Anson left the secret realm and established a transformation laboratory in Bruno City, which was dedicated to the transformation of goblins.

……

Under the shadowless lamp, a goblin was lying on the operating table. His left arm was amputated, and a prosthetic left arm made of cold metal was connected to the broken part by Anson.

"The nerve connection is complete, test whether it is unobstructed."

Anson's voice was very steady. He had performed this type of connection operation many times in the past few days and had become so skilled that he could connect the nerves almost with his eyes closed.

"Yes, Lord Bishop."

The surrounding goblins connected the prosthesis to energy pipelines. The next moment, a weak energy fluctuation came from the prosthesis, and runes inside it were constantly lighting up.

After making sure the arm was not damaged, the goblins began to wait.

Anson's operations always proceed a little faster than expected, so the effect of the anesthetic on the goblin on the stage has not yet worn off.

Taking advantage of this free time, Anson took off his surgical gown, went to the corner of the operating room, took out a book on basic alchemy and began to read it silently.

Anson is now the technical bishop of the Order of Miracles, and his main responsibilities include goblin transformation, alchemical power armor production, and technology research and development. Of course, judging from the current level of these goblins, no one among them should make any innovations in a few hundred years.

Richard's attainments in alchemy are not low, and what he makes is the best product of the current goblin technology.

Soon, the goblin on the operating table woke up.

He looked at the ceiling in a daze and was about to stand up.

"Stop." Anson looked at the book and came to the goblin. "Move your left arm."

The goblin on the stage did as he was told, and under his control, his left arm slowly raised.

"Move your fingers," Anson continued.

The prosthetic fingers wiggled slightly.

"Make a fist, then release it...Okay, push him down, the connection is successful."

Anson did not have any extra emotions for the success of the operation. He had performed hundreds of such operations, an average of four operations a day. Except for the first few operations that had some problems, the rest of the operations were all successful.

This operation was his last one of the day, so after making sure the connection was completed, he left the operating room.

Anson walked up a long staircase and arrived at an ordinary apartment. This was his residence in Bruno City, a very ordinary cheap apartment.

Compared to the gorgeous room in the Church of the Lord of All Machines, this ordinary cheap apartment looks extremely shabby. With the current situation of the Order of Miracles, Anson can definitely live in a better room.

But he turned down the arrangement.

He is a researcher, and as long as the living conditions are not too harsh, it makes no difference to him.

Putting the basic alchemy in his hand on the table, Anson turned around and left the room.

Outside the room, the light sunlight shines through the lead-gray clouds, bringing a different color to the city of Bruno.

On the street, huge construction machines were demolishing old apartment buildings. Unlike previous urban renewal, the residents living in the buildings did not feel sad about the renovation this time. Instead, they cheered around the ruins.

Because they know that after the old apartment building is demolished, they will soon be able to live in a new apartment building. Then they will have one room per family and no longer have to squeeze into a small room with other people.

Is this the mayor's conscience, wanting to benefit these workers?

Obviously, the answer is definitely not this.

The goblins operating the machines wore black robes with a five-pointed pentagram printed on their chests.

This is the symbol of the Order of Miracles.

Inspired by Richard, Ulises selected a group of loyal believers and replaced almost all factory owners in Bruno.

In the face of absolute power, even if these factory owners were protected by knights or even high-level knights, they had no ability to resist. After replacing these factory owners, the actual control of the entire Bruno City fell into Richard's hands.

The social structure of the goblins is very strange. As the ruling court, the nobles sent to various places rarely intervene in the development of the city. The development of the city is almost always decided by the city council.

The members of Bruno's parliament are all factory owners. So replacing the factory owners is equivalent to replacing the parliamentarians, which is equivalent to controlling the city.

Having gained control of the city, the Order of Miracles naturally had to do something.

After obtaining Richard's permission, the renovation plan of the old building began in full swing.

The monks of the Order of Miracles want to ensure that every worker's family has its own private room.

Although compared with those garden cities designed for vacation, Bruno's environment is still as bad as a garbage dump. But now, this garbage dump has finally begun to fill the garbage.

Crossing the street, which was still under construction, Anson found a baker's shop and got a loaf of black bread. He also got a large glass of beer in the pub next to him.

Although the tap water flowing from the gray lead pipes was not harmful to Anson's current physical condition, the habit he inherited from his time as a mechanic still made him prefer beer.

"Lord Anson, you're here to buy beer again."

The regular customers of the tavern saw Anson and raised their glasses. They didn't know that Anson was the bishop of the Order of Miracles, they only knew that Anson was a monk of the Order of Miracles. But the identity of a monk was enough.

In the city of Bruno, monks of the Order of Miracles walk on the land of the spirits.

The Miracle Order cured them, built houses for them, and increased their salaries. No organization or force in this world has ever been willing to do so much for them. And the reward they asked for was nothing more than faith and honest work.

Anson raised his glass and clinked it with theirs, then drank the wine in one gulp.

He had no objection to the admiration for these workers; his parents were among them, and if he had not been lucky, he would probably be one of them now.

There is a fundamental difference between him and those priests who come from prosthetic priest families.

When he got home, Anson cut a piece of brown bread with a saw and began to study while reading a book.

Basic alchemy is not complicated, but many of the operations are tailor-made for wizards. He is a goblin, and if he wants to learn this technology, he must either become a hybrid or figure out a set of goblin alchemy operations on his own.

His teacher, Thiel, chose the latter, and his choice was the same as his teacher.

But just as he was immersed in the knowledge, a call interrupted him.

"Anson, come to the secret realm."

Anson was stunned for a moment, then closed the book and took out a scroll from the drawer of the table. He tore the scroll open, and a crack leading to the secret realm was born from the scroll.

Entering the secret realm, Anson saw his teacher talking with the Sage and the Crow God. Seeing him come in, Richard greeted him, "Anson, you came just in time. How is the church's transformation operation going recently?"

Anson said respectfully, "It went very smoothly. Except for some minor problems in the first few operations, the rest of the operations went very smoothly."

“How many have you made?”

Anson estimated in his mind and replied, "About 250."

Richard nodded, turned to Tell and said, "I think this amount is enough."

Anson sensed that something was wrong with the atmosphere and asked Tyr, "Teacher, what happened?"

Tyr looked at Anson with a serious expression.

"The Royal Court has started a war with us. So far, four regional bishops have been assassinated by the Royal Court's assassins, and the Knights of the Church have also shown signs of splitting. The Royal Court has not taken any action yet, but the Knights of the Royal Court have already set out from the barracks."

The news about Tyr made Anson tremble violently. Have the church faction and the royal court faction finally reached the point where they are incompatible?

"Anson," Richard asked again, "How is your training of technical priests going? We must expand the number of miracle monks next."

"There are currently about ten priests who can complete a complete set of transformation operations, but two of them are not very skilled."

Richard nodded slightly: "That's enough. You can go to Dunling City in the next two days. Ben has already completed the expansion of the church there. You can go and teach the transformation technology to the priests there."

The city of Bruno has now been completely occupied by the Order of Miracles, so the expansion of the church has naturally followed.

With Bruno as the center, the Miracle Order began to expand upstream and downstream along the waterway near Brook City. Among them, Dunling City, which Ben was responsible for, was transformed the fastest. The Miracle Order had swept away the local cult and successfully occupied the ecological niche of the workers' religion.

Anson crossed his hands in front of his chest, bowed and said, "Your will, wise sir."

"Also, gather these monks together." Richard added, "Although the war started by the Royal Court is a little small, it is quite suitable for the monks to gain more combat experience."

Small?
Anson couldn't help but feel a sense of unreality and absurdity when he heard Richard call this war, which might require the mobilization of several knightly orders and tens of thousands of knights, a small one.

If this is small, then what is the great war that the sages are talking about?
