"You can't die if you don't do anything lethal," a simple truth that those who understand it, understand it well.
Thus, the Destiny Pattern of Lord Clown, served by Grand Judge Pan, is now to be calmly accepted...
Priceless, indeed.
The Judgent Squad could only think of this phrase to describe it for the mont.
At that mont, their feelings were complicated—shocked, nervous, and ecstatic...
Even though they had resolutely chosen to join the ranks of Lord Clown, a commander who had literally parachuted in, thinking him to be a powerful ally and wanting to cling to him, now it seed not just a powerful ally, but a golden one at that.
The sisters really had bet correctly and made a fortune.
It was only Koreya herself who was oblivious to all this, the Black Sheep Witch was still imrsed in the joy of the new clothes Lady Dorothy had given her, which she would treasure for a lifeti.
"Alright, Lord Pan, let's go over the mission details, we should head out now," she urged her assistant beside her.
Unaware of yet again unwittingly showing off, Dorothy didn't think much of it.
Right now, she wasn't much interested in these matters; she just wanted to find sothing to smash soon, as her hands were itching terribly.
"Of course, my lord."
It was the first ti Koreya was addressed by code, and briefly startled, she then quickly stepped forward and began explaining the situation of their mission.
"... Ah, um, yeah, that's about the size of it."
The Black Sheep Witch went through everything in one breath.
Since she had recently had a brain swap, Dorothy processed the mission information very quickly. She imdiately understood everything and then frowned deeply.
This mission didn't sound at all unimportant as Koreya had earlier suggested, but rather extrely important.
Because the stolen item from the laboratory this ti was nad "Magic Network Core."
As the na suggests, it's the core device for constructing the Magic Net System.
Normally, one would expect the Magic Network to appear only in the age of the Magic Network, but Dorothy had directly outlined the idea of the Magic Network in the proposal she left behind when she bid goodbye to Denisha in the first act.
After all, if you're taking the path of cybernetic ascension, it seems sothing's missing without the Internet. Since it's all a dream and won't affect reality, walking a step ahead on Lord Demon King's path might not be a bad idea at all.
Notably, she was also holding the title of Second-Generation Demon King; this title would enhance its effects whenever she replicated sothing the Demon King had done before. Thus, building the Magic Network was undoubtedly a great opportunity to level up her talent.
In reality, it would obviously be impossible for her to compete with Lord Demon King with a second-generation Magic Network, but in this dream, nothing was a problem.
But back in the day, Dorothy had rely drafted the conception of the Magic Network casually, not taking it very seriously. However, now it seed Denisha had taken it seriously. She had actually directed research towards the Magic Network for over five hundred years.
Now, the Magic Republic indeed had a network presence, even quite advanced, already on par with the level described in science fiction novels from her previous life.
With the application of ntal Magic combined with the Internet, virtual reality technology was easily realized—creating the fully imrsive network space that many had long awaited in Dorothy's previous life was nearly accomplished.
However, after reaching this point, the construction of the Magic Network had stalled for a long ti. Even though the Magic Web Space had been expanded increasingly, it was rely the physical space that had grown, with no significant advances in key Magic Network technologies for nearly a hundred years, until recently when the Magic Network Laboratory finally succeeded in developing the "Magic Network Core."
This was a pioneering invention capable of endowing the Magic Network with intelligence to operate and expand automatically, potentially completely altering the entire structure of the existing Magic Network and enabling the Magic Republic to embark on a new surge of technological breakthroughs, possibly even overthrowing the Glorious Divine Kingdom after centuries of rivalry.
In short, it was very important.
And then...
And then this Magic Network Core, which was expected to be implented soon, was stolen.
"Damn…"
Dorothy felt numb just thinking about it; she really didn't know what those lab people were doing, how such an important item could get lost—what was their security system doing?
But now wasn't the ti to assign bla; the urgent task was to quickly locate the stolen Magic Network Core, especially now that all the evidence suggested that the theft was related to the Glorious Divine Kingdom.
You see, although the Glorious Divine Kingdom is a religious state, its main forces are still primarily Angels and Clerics, but technology isn't a high barrier—anyone can learn it.
The two nations had been confronting each other for centuries, and it was impossible to completely block technology. In fact, the technological level in the Glorious Divine Kingdom wasn't low now, having caught up with the Magic Republic in basic industrial sectors. They were even developing their own Internet, and doing quite well at it, creating sothing called "Phantom Paradise."
The Magic Republic still held a technological lead in a few cutting-edge areas and also maintained a unique system of Magic Equipnt that the other side could never quite learn.
But if the Magic Network Core were to fall into their hands now, the Glorious Divine Kingdom's "Phantom Paradise" might just take off imdiately, making the situation for the Magic Republic rather awkward.
