Chapter 105: The Witch's Mallet, Your Size (Part II)
In any case, it will not delay Ferdinand's pace of gaining prestige.
Ferdinand, who could not extricate himself from his prestige, was also ready to expand the scope of brainwashing, and the immigrants to the New World, especially those peasants and serfs in Italy, Flanders, Ireland, Eastern Europe, and Germany, had to go through some organizations or schools or institutions such as the New World Immigrant Training Corps, as well as the vigorous propaganda (brainwashing) of church personnel, and there should be religious universities at the source and destination of the immigrants, so as to fully realize the brainwashing work of the colonial people, so that the plan to continuously transform them into territories can be implemented. This has already paid off, for example, in Newfoundland, where Spain is trying to establish a formal provincial system.
In addition, the Niederhogg Intelligence Organization and the madrassa should also run some orphanages and other early childhood training traditions, which can be available in various countries, so that they can fully serve the Niedhog/Ferdinand/Spain spiritually. Just like the KGB back then, Ferdinand had been seeing Comrade Serov in his dreams lately, and the two of them had a good time drinking and laughing, even though they were both very poor drinkers......
The rank of a spy, especially if it is a spy trained by a foreigner, if he serves Nidhogg from the bottom of his heart, it can only be described as extremely obedient, and perhaps barely used...... Loyal. If he served Ferdinand from the bottom of his heart, it means that the brainwashing was successful. If only he could serve Spain from the bottom of his heart...... This can't be considered brainwashing, it is already considered faith, how many people can serve Spain from the heart? In the future, such people may be able to achieve the same achievements as the Cambridge Five......
A dark neighbor of faith is called superstition, and superstition also has a dark neighbor called ignorance.
Ferdinand is more concerned about religious matters, because Catholicism needs to be rectified, and he is on the side of Catholicism, there are many things to worry about, and the area is very wide, from Ottoman to Calvin, doing the profession of a king and the heart of the pope, maybe Ferdinand can be better as pope Catholic? Anyway, the successive popes of the Renaissance were full of slots.
Nidhogg was also assigned to monitor religious activities in Spain, such as the sale of indulgences, the punishment of heresy, religious incidents, and the collection of best-selling religious books. By the end of 1495, these businesses were also beginning to make their way into Italy, such as the guy in Florence who had been mentioned earlier to promote the end of the world in 1500 and had succeeded in taking power...... Of course, the main thing is to examine the situation in the Kingdom of Sicily and to point out the development of Catholicism in this region.
Ferdinand had recently received a number of reports from Niedhogg in Barcelona, and now he had a best-selling book on the table in front of him.
"The Witch's Mallet".
The Hammer of the Witches is a book about witches written in 1486 by the Catholic monks and Inquisitors Krama and Sbrenger.
In 1487, its first edition was published in Germany, and it soon spread throughout Europe, and it was said that everyone had a copy, but this was a question mark, because at that time no Bible could be owned......
In Spain, where witch persecution was most intense, the Spanish Inquisition, often considered to be most closely associated with witch hunting, existed from 1478 to 1834. However, the essence of this event is to purify the society of unbelievers. Some say that the most notorious inquisitor was Tomás de Torquemada, who was personally responsible for more than 2,000 executions during his 14-year tenure. But Ferdinand knew that he had good personal virtues, and that the focus of the Spanish Inquisition was not on witches at all, and that most of the more than 2,000 people executed were heretics, converts, Jews, etc. Among the people executed by the Inquisition in Aragon at that time were many merchants and a small number of nobles, as well as those whom Ferdinand considered a political threat to him, and this method of making money and attacking political opponents created a small coffers that Ferdinand intended to continue to play.
The situation can be much worse in Switzerland and Germany, where the first large-scale witch hunt took place as early as 1427. In Germany, at least 30,000 people were confirmed to have died in about 150 years – in fact as many as 100,000 because of the witch problem.
O hypocrisy of religion, God grows in the heart of man and dies in the heart of man!

"Chief Judge Torquemada, if you look at this book and the relevant reports, it seems to be sanctimonious on the surface, but in fact it is complete nonsense!"
