Mage? Spell Engineer!

"There are many reporters among the gentlemen here. You should know that a shocking cult attack occurred yesterday. As the Church of Order continues to attack underground cults, these evil-worshiping fanatics went so far as to madly attack the Sacred Heart Cathedral at the last moment."

After Necker finished speaking, he looked at the priest, who nodded very seriously and sadly: "Our Lord has sent down his anger, and such vicious incidents will never happen again in Valuauna."

"Thank you, and even more grateful to our Father, the God of Light and Order!" Necker pretended to make a prayer gesture and continued: "During the Paladin's investigation of the eastern suburbs, two cultists were accidentally discovered. One is very special - he used to be an employee of Shariana Mining Company!"

Following the minister's finger, shareholders and reporters began to look at "Salamanda". He was a man like a puddle of mud. If there were no soldiers to hold him up, he would probably collapse into a pile.

Although the work clothes were as stained as the person, you could still see the huge "Sareana Mining" logo printed on the rough canvas - it was the only clothes he had to keep out the cold, and of course he couldn't bear to change them.

"When did you get the job at Shariana Mining?"

"Sir, I couldn't sell the wheat at home last winter. I heard that there was a shortage of people, so I came here. At that time, the snakehead took five livres, from November last year to January this year."

"Tell me, was it the interview you accepted from Morning News reporter Mike?" Valang directly pinched the throat of the former miner. If it were not in full view of the public, he would have punched and kicked this extremely hateful villain.

Salamanda, who lacked medicine powder and suffered rounds of torture, was on the verge of mental collapse. When his neck was stuck, he thought he was going to get another beating, so he tremblingly agreed: "Yes, yes, at that time."

Valan wanted to take the content of the question and answer into his own hands. He only waited for the other party to say "yes" and immediately continued to ask: "Who instructed you to frame the company?"

With Salamanda's level of education, he did not understand the word "frame", so he could only continue to say what he was going to say: "There was no money at that time, so Mr. Reporter gave me three bills. River's."

Necker felt that Valen was a little too excited. Seeing his chest beating like a bellows and his face flushing sickly, he frowned and took the initiative back to himself:

"Journalists, please read this. Mr. Mike from the Morning News accused the mining company of mercilessly firing the miner because he lost his limbs in the accident. How pitiful!"

Necker motioned to the detainees to raise Salamanda's hands, telling everyone to see that the cultists had good hands and feet:

"It can be seen from this that it is completely inconsistent with the facts! The company discovered his misconduct during work and fired him, but it did not expect that he turned out to be a cultist at the time!"

The reporter was about to write his notebook into smoke. Regardless of the truth or falsehood of the matter, the story was exciting enough. The righteous exposer actually colluded with the cult group to frame the largest company in the kingdom, causing huge losses.

"So Mike, uh, what he disclosed about your company receiving foreign gold materials and ores is true?" After breaking the news, other reporters also verified that there were indeed other trading companies transferring raw materials to the metallurgical plant.

"Let me answer this question." Valang has calmed down. He suppressed the desire to cough and answered the reporter's question: "The design capacity of the metallurgical plant is extremely large, but there is a step to gradually increase the output of gold mining in the secondary plane. During this period of trial operation, some production lines in our metallurgical department will be idle.

Therefore, in the past few months, in order not to waste production capacity, we undertook some processing work of foreign gold and other metals until the output of ore from the secondary plane was stable.

Therefore, the above is an open and reasonable business behavior. I did not expect that it would be misinterpreted by conspiracy theorists with ulterior motives to mean that all the gold in our company is not produced from secondary planes. Please rest assured that the proportion of external gold materials and the profit will be disclosed in the financial report. "

The subsequent stage was performed by the accompanying priest. Although this loyal servant of God had not participated in any press conferences, he had experience in preaching and could handle it easily. He disclosed many details of last night's operation and attack, as well as how Salamanda and the core members of the cult were captured.

He talked about a paladin who heroically sacrificed his life to eradicate the source of evil and even choked up when his soul returned to the Kingdom of God. Everyone in the audience was moved.

For the first time, a holy and steady voice echoed in this place where money and people's hearts are fluctuating: "Therefore, I hope that whether it is the brothers and sisters who believe in our Lord, the people of the entire Holy Kingdom, and the shareholders of the company, we should be firm Unite unswervingly and do not fall into mutual suspicion and harm due to evil plots and instigations."

His sincere and skillful sermon, no, his speech at the press conference made most people believe the truth jointly woven by the finance minister, the company general manager and the priest of the Church of Order.

Cough cough cough. The press conference ended at noon. Everyone else had dispersed. The securities trading floor was even messier than usual. Valan coughed while bending over and looking around for something.

Donkey skin! He was so excited after receiving the letter that he kept holding the donkey skin in the palm of his left hand. When everything was over, Valan realized that his left hand had become empty at some point.

He suddenly froze. A small, fragile-looking donkey skin lay on the ground, with shoe prints on its surface no bigger than a holly leaf.

The crisis in Shariana Mining Company seems to have been resolved, and the donkey skin has indeed become smaller again.

my life! my life!

Valang almost crawled to grab it. The young man couldn't stand up straight because of his coughing, and he could only kneel on the ground and cry bitterly.

In the research room, Rorschach was originally going to discuss the new paper he had written with his tutor, but Kano was busy, so he simply sat down and read the newspaper on his desk.

"Is this priest really stupid or did he get paid? Use the church to endorse the mining company?" Rorschach was shocked by the news report that turned around in one day, but what he was holding now was not the morning newspaper - the entire newspaper office was under suspicion of being related to The cult gangs colluded and were shut down and investigated.

"Ha, Du Plessis is so busy that his subordinates can't manage it well." Cano didn't take it seriously and continued to write beautiful cursive calligraphy with a quill pen:

Due to the noise that resounded throughout the city, coupled with the unidentifiable supernatural factors, many apprentices in our tower reported that they suffered from tinnitus, dizziness and nausea. The Magic Guild is deeply worried and seriously concerned about this.

Rorschach continued to read the newspaper. Yesterday's press conference lasted all morning, during which all transactions were stopped. After the market reopened in the afternoon, the mining company's stock successfully stopped falling, but it never rose until a mysterious force appeared an hour before the market closed. The violent increase in the stock price brought it back to the level before the "cult reporter case" occurred.

"It is said that our King was so furious that he placed a bounty on the remnants of the Earth Mother Order, and also introduced the 'Journalism Truth Law': in the future, all newspapers will be subject to stricter review, and the palace will have the right to ban the publication of newspapers that publish false information at any time qualifications."

All newspapers are subject to random checks from the palace, and reporters and editors will be held accountable for false content. As for who determines the authenticity of the content, it is of course His Majesty the King himself, the most sage and wise, and the gentlemen authorized by him.

"Is there still a white list?" Rorschach discovered that there are still newspapers that are exempt from random inspections - "The Lord of Order", "Lange de Valois" and "Element Pravda". The first two are the mouthpieces of the church and the palace respectively. The Elemental News was originally only circulated within the magic guild and was not distributed to the outside world.
