Witch, Fireball and the Evil God of Steam

Sophia blurted out, these background knowledge involving the Henry Royal Family were things she had been learning since childhood.

During the reign of Henry III, there were seven large-scale foreign wars. He spent almost his entire later life in warfare, and people revered him as the king of iron and blood. It was during this period that the Empire's fame reached its peak.

Correspondingly, as tools of ruling ideology, the status of the Life Church rose both domestically and internationally within the Empire. Pope Turzan modified the doctrines multiple times based on the background of the era, incorporating politics into the Holy Scripture.

Although this move caused quite a controversy at the time, with the ongoing successes in the foreign wars and strong support from the royal family, the religious reforms led by Turzan gained widespread recognition.

"But the ideological rule of the Church needs to be built upon the Empire's powerful military strength. Recently, many countries that relied on the Empire have broken away from the control of the Life Church, and there have even been cases of priests being assassinated outside the Empire."

This shows that this method of forcibly rooting in various civilizations only superficially masks hatred.

"But how can a film achieve these things?"

Sophia was curious about this.

"It's very simple, make all ordinary people who engage with these entertainment methods yearn for the life portrayed in the movies."

"Just like that?"

"Just like that." Ethan said ambiguously, "Imperceptibly embed the cultural symbols the Empire wishes to convey within it, so that they are not even aware that they are being inculcated with certain thoughts."

For a modern person, this is too common, "But blunt methods will only be counterproductive, so we need to uncover truly talented individuals, Sophia, this task is well-suited for you."

"Eh, me?"

Upon hearing Ethan say this, Sophia suddenly felt she had lost her confidence. She was just looking for a way to escape the confinement sanction, how did it now seem like the entire burden of the Empire's cultural strategic development was going to weigh on her shoulders? This was a great feat that even her ancestors and the church hadn't fully realized over the decades.

"Of course, we will provide you with help during the process."

Ethan took out a piece of parchment and picked up a quill.

Creating a new field is extremely difficult, but fortunately he can directly copy the existing system. It was Old An's words that inspired him, as Old An, an Old God, also believed in human wisdom.

They aren't machines lacking independent thinking ability. As long as they are given a vague framework, they can exert subjective initiative to fill in missing details. In fact, the evolution of the modern society has never been achieved overnight, the development in just the field of film has been infused with the efforts of countless people.

No one can firmly hold the deduction of civilization in their hands, not even the Old Gods.

As the content on the parchment continued to be filled out, the surprise in the eyes of the three became increasingly evident.

Different roles perform their duties, Ethan seemed to have gained the ability to predict the future. He was able to foresee the difficulties they might encounter even before the concept of the film was transformed into reality and set up professional personnel in response to these difficulties. On this parchment, film was no longer a vague and abstract concept, but a project ready to commence.

This project will involve many people from various fields.

Prior to this, Sophia had never seen any industry requiring such extensive involvement across various domains, as if every aspect of the Empire had to be involved.

She became passionate, the feeling was much stronger than when she once passed the Holy Hall examination and swore to become a Knight.

These words, devoid of any emotion, possessed a terrifying power to incite.

This reminded Sophia of those unrealistic fantasies that occasionally floated into her mind, sometimes thinking about herself ascending to become a Saint or even a Round Table Knight, returning to the Empire bathed in the glory of the Knight Lord, and becoming the greatest Empress in the Empire's history; she also fantasized about wielding a sword to save the mankind as the Savior during the revival of the Old Gods...

In any case, there's no logic, and can't be shared for consultation with acquaintances.

Could it be...

Are Ethan and she actually of the same kind?

It's just that Ethan was more systematic and capable, able to turn his various fantasies into reality.

The relationship felt instantly closer with Ethan.

"Sophia, this plan is entrusted to you."

"I understand!"

Sophia suddenly felt a strong sense of mission enveloping her, she had a premonition that "Heisenberg and Magic Book" would be the first step in realizing this great endeavor.

Watching the princess leave, Lindong fell into deep contemplation.

She suddenly felt something was off, after observing Ethan's gratified gaze for a moment, she suddenly realized, "No, aren't we supposed to make a movie? Why has it turned into Sophia doing it?"

"Teacher, if you expect the results of the film, do not participate in the production."

"Why?"

Lindong did not understand.

"Distance creates beauty."

Ethan had a lot to say on this, he too was once a movie enthusiast, it was precisely this interest that led him to enter the movie production industry. However, when those trivial matters overwhelmed him, his pure interest was extinguished, and his perspective on movies transformed from that of an enthusiast to an analyst, viewing each scene from a utilitarian angle.
