anwhile, on the other side.
[Location: Bell Federation, sowhere in Golden City]
Inside the "World Focus Daily" office, a dia staff mber saw the information sent back by colleagues collecting data outside and a trace of surprise flashed across his face.
But the surprise was quickly suppressed, turning into deep disgust: "That bunch of godless heretics has actually produced a Magic Monarch again?"
The annoyance and dissatisfaction in his voice nearly erupted when he said that.
However, this sort of thing is quite normal within the "World Focus Daily."
After all, the financial backer behind World Focus Daily is an institution that developed with the support of the Church of the God of Love and Mutable Change among the nine Holy Halls of Briania.
Perhaps it's due to the great distance from the Holy Mountain, but the staff working at the daily have grown superstitious towards the deities, harboring imnse repulsion towards non-believers.
Even though the headquarters is in Golden City, Bell Federation, all the staff recruited here are retired Priests from Holy Briania.
In other words, within the "World Focus Daily," there isn't a single staff mber from the Bell Federation.
This daily isn't very old; it has maybe five, six years of history. What they love to do most is firmly support their backer [Holy Briania] and stand on the high ground, pointing fingers.
Like with phrases such as "I can't help but wonder," and "reflection"... they spread anxiety with all kinds of expressions.
Alas, so people surprisingly feed into it, living every day as if surrounded by conspiracy theories.
Over ti, even those who initially bought into it started to feel jaded, so in the past year or two, their slogans haven't been as compelling anymore.
"A newly risen Magic Monarch, now that's big news. Any way to scoop so sensational news from that half-blood mutt?"
"Silence, are you insane, saying such things recklessly here? Do you think the Nobles' swords aren't sharp?"
Another editor loudly yelled nearby.
But if soone took a look at his sowhat greasy, mocking expression, they'd realize this guy was being sarcastic.
"I've already started drafting tomorrow's front page, 'A Half-breed from the Abyss Successfully Plagiarized Nurous Theories from Renowned Mages and Stitched Together the Trash Profession Known as War Mage'?
What do you think of such a title? I think that front-page title could boost our sales by 100,000 copies!"
"Then you'd be smashed by the Magic Monarchs, and we might all end up in jail, along with the editorial departnt."
Another editor said with exasperation: "Just say it internally, whatever thoughts you have, don't think of showing them outside, at least die slightly further away from ...
Don't splatter blood on !"
Even though they received assistance from the Church of the God of Love and Mutable Change, it doesn't an the church would protect them...
Especially since the Church of Love and Mutable Change doesn't represent Briania's stance; they're rely used by the church to irritate the Bell Federation, not troublemakers forcing the church to clean up after them.
"Alright, alright, we get it, after all, if we're being honest, that's a Magic Monarch we're talking about, not so bard who thinks they're invincible after reading a bit.
Besides singing and dancing, they don't have much to threaten people, but if you provoke those Mages, they'll seriously show you what the Iron Fist of magic is all about."
"Speaking of this matter..."
One assistant editor lowered his head thoughtfully: "Speaking of which, we don't need to get involved and attract hatred from the Helois Monarch.
Why not let those who were already planning to give that Magic Monarch trouble do it for us?"
"Who?" The editor looked curious and hesitated: "Now that they've beco a Magic Monarch, who would be so presumptuous to challenge a Magic Monarch's authority?"
"There are many; previously, so Civilian Mages were always clamoring that Helois Monarch's War Mage theories largely plagiarized their ideas?
I've heard many of them are secretly starting to unite, planning to make more noise externally."
The editor waved his hand: "That disorganized bunch, it's hard enough for them to rally together, let alone openly challenge the Helois Monarch."
In fact, many in the editorial departnt subconsciously knew that much of what was said internally, they wouldn't dare say carelessly on the streets.
After all, if they provoke a Magic Monarch, claiming they wouldn't be scared is an overestimation of their ntal resilience.
Engaging is impossible, not in this lifeti.
Especially knowing exactly what the situation with the Helois Monarch is like... they still don't want to die.
