Regressor Instruction Manual

Chapter 287: Half-baked Revolution (2)

-Dear comrades, who share our will. It seems like this is my first time greeting you. I think some of you have met me, and some of you know me indirectly. I’d like to introduce myself formally. My name is Oscar. I’m the author of the Sacred Democracy and one of the ordinary imperial people, like you, sitting at the Civil Revolutionary Corps’ head.

“Er… Charlotte-nim.”

“I’m also watching. What am I seeing…?”

“T-the Honorary Bishop seems to have prepared it.”

“Is it illusion magic?”

“Probably not, Princess. It is impossible even for an archmage to display such large-scale illusion magic. I thought he’d be preparing to some extent, but what the hell is this…?”

“… …”

“… …”

“A video. It’s a video.”

“I’m sorry?”

“It’s a video created via magic power. One day I heard that there was something like that in the city where the foreigners live. Yes. It must be. It certainly is.”

“How… did you…”

“I don’t have time to give you a detailed explanation. There must be a source that is sending that out from somewhere.”

“Do you mean a source?”

“Yes. Isn’t he a wizard, Count? Can you feel the flow of magic somewhere?”

“I-I’m sorry. I think someone twisted the wavelength of magic power in the capital, so I don’t think I can.”

“We have to stop that. We can’t let that out. Never. Never! A lot of blood will be spilled. Count! We have to stop that quickly. We have to stop that. Ahh… How do we…”

“It’s… already late. We can’t fix it…”

* * *

-You don’t have to be surprised or disconcerted. Dear citizens, what you see now is not illusion magic. It is a gift given to us by the Goddess Benigore, who sees all humanity equally, and a means to unite and raise our dear comrades.

It was the mirror and blessing of the Goddess Benigore, who reflected things we couldn’t see.

“The Honorary Bishop Lee Kiyoung… Where is… the Honorary Bishop Lee Kiyoung?”

“I-I heard he went into Lindel today, Your Majesty. He’ll be back after catching up on some work…”

“That… What the hell… If there’s anyone who can explain this phenomenon, bring me right now. Anyone will do. Anyone…”

“It’s Oscar, Your Majesty. The one you see up there right now is Oscar.”

“I know that. I’m asking why the author’s face is floating in the sky. You stupid thing! What are the court wizards doing?! Make anyone stop that. Right now!”

“Your Majesty. P-Please, calm down. The court wizards are looking for a way now.”

“Oh, God… Oh, God…”

* * *

-Dear comrades. Please check and judge with your own eyes. And you have to move by yourselves. How was the Holy Empire so far, and what those nobles, who looks down on us saying we’re poor blood and calls themselves nobly, really are! You must check and judge for yourselves. From now on, the scenes that I, Oscar, will show you can be a bit shocking and cruel. But it shows exactly how it is, and it is our life itself. Please do not look away. Instead, look properly. I hope you can see what kind of place we have been living in so far.

“Very good.”

I saw Maid Alice speaking as calmly and clearly as she could.

I knew she would do well, but she was leading the atmosphere way better than I thought.

She had been able to calm those who are confused by the magical hologram that suddenly appeared. Most of the foreigners were very surprised by the new technology that Max and Jung Hayan now showed.

As if it was valid for Alice to say that this was a gift from a Goddess, I was able to see that the imperial people were quickly regaining their composure.

Oscar, who stood inside the screen, didn’t have to add anything else.

After she introduced herself and successfully snagged their attention, she urged them to watch the following scenes.

It was the right decision. There was no need for unnecessary comments on these videos.

The scene that would be seen next would be devastating and powerful enough by itself.

After Oscar’s face disappeared, a slice of corrupt nobles took its place. Things were getting so much fun that I needed popcorn.

There was Baron Haian, who reigned in absolute power in the small town of Vine.

There was Duke Caribou, who had a pretty good image, in the Metropolitan City of Vatican.

There was Count Bush, who already had a lot of trouble due to his high tax rate.

Many others were the black market VIPs.

“Puhahahaha.”

It was a list that I thought I could use someday. I could tell without having to say that to blow it in this situation would be the most effective.

These targeted people would feel fear at first. Then curiosity, and then anger after that.

Those who were with us right now were also trembling at all this information.

It would be strange not to get angry with such a scene unfolding in front of them.

-Ahhhhhh!! Ahhhhhh!!!

-Ahhhhhhhhh! Please… please!

The black market in the underground of Castle Rock would be closed because of this, but there were many other places where I could make money, anyway.

By the end of this, most of the Empire’s humans would be cleaned up, so demand would also be reduced.

I feel like it would be good to start a new business in another country.

In fact, not all nobles were like that, and what was seen in the video also underwent some editing and exaggeration, but what did that matter to the public?

After all, most people only believed what they could see with their own eyes. Some of them had even begun to turn away, unable to stomach the scenes playing in the hologram.

-Hahaha… It seems that this relieves your stress, Duchess.

-Didn’t I tell you not to call me that way, Count.

-Ah. Sorry. I’ll stop…

-Haha. It’s okay. It’s okay. It was just a joke, so you don’t have to lower your head like that. I think I was a little sensitive. Right. Count is right. It really feels my stress is relieved. It’s important to clear my head like this from time to time as I do important things for the Empire. Even though this place isn’t actually the same as it used to be, it’s comforting to have a place like this.

-In fact, I was thinking similarly. Duchess. It’s definitely dull these days. Therefore, I made a separate space in my estate. Even for the Duchess… no, it must be difficult for the Duchess who is respected by the imperialists.

-What is so great about being respected by people who aren’t even human? Tsk. This is all because of my son. I also would like to, as Count Bush… Ah! I’m curious about this, but… The tax rate in Count Bush’s province…

-Yes, it is high. But what, is there another way? In other provinces, many foreigners are coming. In fact, I really don’t want to get them into my province. They are strong, but aren’t they also born with low blood? I don’t like them at all. His Majesty is also in an ambiguous position. Isn’t it a humiliation to us already, just to say that we’re giving them a title? What can we do? If you don’t want to fall behind other provinces, you have no choice but to squeeze the permanent residents. Hahahaha. Come to think of it, even the Duchess?

-Our province is likely to open sooner or later. Count, how can I reject when the flow of the times is like this? I can’t fall behind. Actually, it is not that I like them all, but there are often good ones. I mean, that -. Unlike other strangers, he has a pretty good side. He is a good guy.

-Ohhhhhh… I heard about -. There are certainly such rumors. I don’t have any contact with them in the first place, but… since Duchess says that, I’ll have to schedule it someday.

Naturally, the name ‘Honorary Bishop Lee Kiyoung’ had been censored.

-By the way, Count, if you raise the tax rate like that, the imperial people…

-Hahaha. Of course, a petition for reconsideration comes up. Well, lightly ignoring such things is enough. Duchess, those lowly guys were dogs and pigs anyway. If you ignore them lightly or step on them carefully, they will be quiet.

It could be said that this was a good picture that showed just how some corrupt nobles usually thought of them.

-Resist…

-Then you just have to step on them even harder. Duchess, these guys are like weeds, so they keep growing unless you take their roots. When you step on them, you have to step properly. You have to keep making them recognize that their identity itself is different, and handling them like you’re dealing with livestock makes them quiet. Hahaha. What do you think? If you are interested, Duchess…

-When I have time, I’ll stop by.

-If you visit, I will do my best to serve you. Hahaha.

I could bet that all the comrades currently gathered would be angry just by seeing that. As the video progressed, the images reflected in my view were indeed a spectacle. It wasn’t just that one that had been prepared in the first place.

As much I thought that I should blow it right once I blow it, I needed to show it to the people in this Empire properly.

The production made for the hungry imperial people was like a tragic independent film.

The next scene showed a nobleman harassing children.

-P… Please stop. Please.

Another was a nobleman who cruelly executed innocent people.

-Please save me. Please save me. Please…

There were sh*tty old pieces of trash that executed dirty things to those who could be called their granddaughters.

Poor imperialists discriminated against and oppressed intellectuals.

The boy soldier mobilized to hunt monsters, eventually meeting his end.

Consideration for all walks of life was not left out.

Even those who made remarks that looked down on the foreigners and those who complained and ranted against the Pope’s side were included.

In the first place, a foreigner or Cardinal Basel would be driven by need, not anger, but the more motives, the better.

It was no wonder that the magical hologram that protruded like a panorama was enough to take away their souls.

The entire capital quickly became quiet. Surprisingly, no sound was heard.

It was then that Lee Jihye, who had approached slightly, quietly opened her mouth.

“Oppa, this is being sent out throughout the Empire, right?”

“Yes. To be precise, it’s being sent within each headquarters. Our comrades in other regions are also watching the situation… Oscar will fire the flare, so we have to move it simultaneously.”

“You were right.”

“About what?”

“You can see the atmosphere now, right? If Charlotte can calm this down, I would call her a Goddess. Sincerely. The bloodless revolution has already crossed the water. If Charlotte is looking at this, she must already be at her wits’ end.”

In the middle of the conversation, the video reached its peak.

The face reflected in the video was none other than the face of the First Princess Charlia.

That mad maniac’s performance began to fill the screen like a leading actor in a 10 million audience movie.

There were so many great scenes that we had a hard time editing it.

The scene not only included slapping a maid’s cheeks, but also insulting them and embellishing herself with luxury. Anyone could see that she was a wicked woman.

At this point, my favorite scenes and lines came out. As I lifted my head again with full anticipation, I saw her face, spitting out an excellent line with a pretty unhealthy expression.

-The imperial people don’t have bread to eat? Haha. If you don’t have bread, you eat cake, right? Why do they wonder about it?

Lee Jihye then asked me a question again, as if she was feeling too absurd.

“Did she really say something like that?”

“Of course, it’s a frame-up. Nuna.”

That was why it worked.

This was because that frame-up would be one of the frame-ups most recognized by history.
