Chapter 244

Translator: Yang_Wenli

Femes’s ears trembled slightly. Using her keen hearing, she was on the alert against her surroundings.

Her teacher Morgan was currently in a room secretly drafting a simple teleportation formation. The two of them will be utilizing the teleportation formation to reach the far-away Farucci today.

“Teacher Morgan, are we really going to use this sort of method to return to Farucci?”

Femes looked at the magic inscriptions all over the floor. If the law enforcers of Norland were to discover those inscriptions, they will be charged with a serious crime of constructing a teleportation formation without permission.

Femes had originally thought that they would be staying in Norland for a while longer and then proceeding back to Farucci through horse carriage.

“Shadows are penetrating into our country, Femes.” lightly stressed Morgan, “I must return to stop them... If you wish to stay in this city, I can have Kelman arrange a place for you to stay.”

Shadows... The Mage Forum interface appeared before Femes. She tapped open a post called ‘The inquisitors of the Holy Church’s Heresy Tribunal had burned down the Blackwood Forest...’

The ‘shadows’ mentioned by her teacher were none other than the Holy Church’s Heresy Tribunal. Femes had no idea why they would burn down the Blackwood Forest. But, without a doubt, what they’ve done was an act of provocation toward the authority of Farucci.

Unfortunately, the King of Farucci had no idea who it was that caused the burning of the Blackwood Forest. The missionaries from the Nation of the Holy Church were capable of easily pushing all the crimes they’ve committed onto some wicked organizations or people. For example, the demons...

“I don’t want to... stay in this city at all. Teacher Morgan, Farucci is my home,” said Femes.

“Femes, when you’re lying, you should make sure to not allow your ears to shift to the left.”

“...”

Femes immediately covered her ears with her hands. At this moment, she saw a whole new post on the homepage of the Mage Forum.

‘Today, Miss Gallolie will be interviewed on the Morning News. The truth to the burning of the Blackwood Forest will be disclosed to the public.’

Gallolie... the Flower of Farucci?

Femes naturally knew of the current most famous actress in Farucci. She was also the actress who played Mathilda in ‘Léon: The Demon.’

When she saw that post on the forum, Femes immediately tapped open the Voice of Norland.

Femes had grown accustomed to listening to the Morning News. Apart from being able to learn about things happening in the city right away, she would also be able to hear ‘Léon’s’ voice.

After having participated in the filming for ‘Hachiko: A Dog’s Tale,’ she felt that the concept that Farucci’s stage play was the best in the world would have to be changed slightly. Now, she was finally able to bluntly admit that her favorite movie character was the hitman of few words, Léon.

Femes had no idea what this ‘interview’ was supposed to be. But, it sounded like Gallolie will be interacting with the Morning News’ broadcaster.

Wouldn’t this mean that Léon and Mathilda from ‘Léon: The Demon’ will be meeting each other again?!

Femes took a glance at the replies below the post. Apart from the people that showed concern for the truth about the burning of the Blackwood Forest, there were more fans of the movie ‘Léon: The Demon.’ Furthermore, from their usernames, it seemed like they were mostly women.

After seeing the replies from those fans, Femes was unable to contain herself and also wrote a reply.

‘After so long, Léon is finally able to see Mathilda again!’

After she finished posting that reply, she immediately found the time-keeping tool in the room. Then, she placed the tool before her and started to quietly wait for the Morning News to begin.

“Femes, the teleportation formation is complete.”

But, at this moment, her teacher Morgan informed her of a grievous news.

“About that... Teacher Morgan...”

Femes was slightly stunned. The Morning News would begin in less than a minute. Yet, she would have to leave Norland.

The magic network was incapable of reaching past Norland to a place as far as Farucci.

“I will activate the teleportation formation after the Morning News is over.”

Morgan picked up the backpack made out of a well-known cloth material from the center of the teleportation formation. The originium crystal with the movie ‘Hachiko: A Dog’s Tale’ was inside that backpack. Also in the backpack were the ‘evidence’ about the Heresy Tribunal given to him by Joshua.

The interview on the Morning News seemed to be able to provide Morgan with more detailed understanding as to exactly what the Heresy Tribunal did in his country.

Before Femes could express her thanks, the bassy male voice of the actor who played Léon, Pluk, sounded from the Voice of Norland. Pluk began to broadcast the trifling things that happened in Norland recently.

Femes did not hear Mathilda’s voice. But, she noticed that the number of listeners for the Voice of Norland was increasing at a frantic pace.

Normally, when Femes would listen to the Morning News, the number of listeners would, at the very most, only be in the thirty thousand range. But now, the broadcast had only just started but the number of listeners had surpassed forty thousand. This number was still rapidly ascending.

“This is the rallying power a performer possessed,” Morgan noticed the amazement on Femes’s face.

“The largest theater in Farucci is only able to contain ten thousand people. As such, at most only ten thousand people could see the Flower of Farucci on the stage. But, there exist countless other people that wished to see her and listen to her voice... As for the Voice of Norland, the number of listeners is not limited to seats and tickets. Her charm and potential could be fully unleashed on the Voice of Norland.”

“But, I will only be able to hear her voice. Teacher Morgan, when I go watch her performance on the stage, I am not only able to hear her voice, I will also be able to see her,” Femes spoke with the final stubbornness in her heart.

“What if, through the Voice of Norland, you’re able to see her performance in addition to being able to hear her voice? What if you do not have to spend money to purchase a ticket, don’t have to rush from one city to another and could comfortably watch her performance at home much like how you’re listening to the Voice of Norland now?” asked Morgan.

“That’s... impossible...”

Femes was incapable of imagining such a world. She cannot imagine being able to see the Flower of Farucci’s performance from thousands of miles away in a manner akin to watching movies.

But, she was already able to chat with people all over Norland using the Voice of Norland in her house... This too was something she cannot imagine before.

“I know that it’s difficult for you to accept. Mister Joshua had described such a world to me before. Even I found it difficult to accept. But, he had already given me a peek into that world. As such, I am hopeful.”

“...”

Femes hugged her legs. She appeared slightly downcast. If the world where one could watch movies from anywhere was to arrive, stage plays would not only become meaningless, even theaters would be reduced to history’s dust.

“Good morning everyone. I am Gallolie van Donnell.”

Soon, Femes’s tangled heart was untied by Gallolie’s voice. After so long, ‘Léon’ finally met ‘Mathilda’ again.

Femes truly wanted to witness this scene with her very eyes. Unfortunately, she can only hear their voices right now...

Suddenly, Femes started to look forward to the arrival of that world, that era, described by her teacher.
