In the Dark Mountains, a luxurious castle stood on the edge of a cliff. Most of it was made of gold, enough to attract dragons' drool.
A man lounging in a high-backed chair, smoking a cigar, said lazily: "Your words are interesting; if the Council of Mages could make the live broadcasts smaller, I would be able to see all sorts of fun things within the castle. That's something good for this bloodsucker who hates going out."
"Prince, even with such an item, you'd still need to rely on the Council of Mages' radio," the butler answered earnestly.
"Don't worry; since they've done so much already, they will continue to do it. If their radios lack resources, I can sponsor them. Isn't Rhein good friends with Lucien Evans? Through him, the old man won't be able to get mad at me," the vampire prince waved his hand.
"I heard that Observer accompanied the Ancestor to the Necropolis once," the butler mentioned another matter.
The vampire prince fell silent for a moment before sneering: "The old man will probably get angry again."

Alinor, Sky Broadcasting Station.
After the victory of the Rantate Music Festival, Lucien specially came here to thank the wizards responsible for broadcasting and curious about "live broadcasts," Hettie followed him in.
"Sir Evans, this is our work; you don't need to be thankful. But recently, many listeners have requested similar live broadcasts to continue. They hope that our radio shows will no longer only include sound. How should we handle it?" Louise said with concern.
Lucien smiled: "The Duke of James and other nobles expressed a similar idea. But this isn't just setting up a magical radio receiver and speaker; according to current standards, constant image display magic arrays and signal-receiving ones are equivalent to using high-level items. The parliament and kingdom cannot be so extravagant."
"So we need time to complete and simplify such alchemical items. You can truthfully relay my words to the listeners. In the near future, not only will you see live broadcasts in squares but also in your homes."
"Near future?" Samantha asked with puzzlement, as if there hadn't been any research on this before.
Lucien pointed at Hettie: "Some of her research on artificial intelligence can be directly applied, like vacuum tubes and cathode screens. So whether we can complete similar alchemical items quickly depends on the efforts of their research team."
"Me?" Hettie pointed to herself, looking puzzled as she had been focusing on artificial intelligence without considering its practical applications.

Kingdom of Dumeut, Capital Hamina.
Katrina walked down a bustling street where most were dwarves reaching only to her waist, but merchants came for business, so she wasn't noticed.
"Daytime isn't suitable; we'll place the items given by our teacher in the evening..." Katrina made a rational judgment after observing the crowd outside the sanctuary. Although she didn’t understand why her teacher was doing this, she still prepared carefully to complete the task as instructed.
