Chapter 13: The Advent (II)
Answering the reader's question: The price of diamonds, in the thirties of the last century, was not like now, and it required a certificate from Delbeth or something to sell. This policy was also played out in the sixties and seventies, when the Soviet Union began to sell a large number of diamonds in the international market, and later African warlords exchanged diamonds for arms in order to make up military expenses, causing the international price of diamonds to plummet
In the thirties, although the diamond market was still cut off by Del Bis, they could only cut off the supply of goods, and it was not to the point where they could control the buyer's market. And on the protagonist's side, he has the ability to make diamonds massively and almost at zero cost, almost making as much money as he sells for a price, which no diamond company can stand this kind of dumping method. As for the industrial use of diamonds, the capitalist boss does not care whether your diamond has a certificate or not, as long as it is cheap and of good quality, they will buy it. The industrial use of diamonds is also a major project.
That's why Lin Han used the Diamond Palace to scare old Oppenheimer, and he forced him to cooperate with this posture of flipping the table and not hesitating to use dumping to destroy the diamond market
Chapter 13: The Advent (Part II)
"Zaa, Nastanada Zaza, Zaza......"
On the night of the launch of the Deutschland, the same voice echoed again over the entire port of Kiel, and this time, it was even past Christmas Eve.
This is the largest prayer ceremony organized by the "Sephiroth Sect" since its founding, and a full 50,000 believers gathered on a farm two kilometers away from the anchorage of the "Deutschland" to religiously perform the religious ritual of summoning the "angel to come".
This farm was originally affiliated with several different small farmers, but after the economic crisis, either the farmer became a follower of the Saphiroth Sect and voluntarily donated it, or was bought with a large amount of money, or the believers simply used various means to force the farmer to sell it, and finally several farms that originally belonged to different owners were united and became the property of the "Sephiroth" Sect.
Compared with those cults that cheat and kidnap and deceive people and are designed to cheat money, the "Sephiroth Cult" established by Lin Han can be described as full of discipline. He has never asked believers for donations, and it is all voluntary, but due to the "real material" ability as a foundation, coupled with the foolishness of the Hank sect leader**, there are still many rich fanatical believers who take out a lot of real money.
In the midst of the economic crisis, in order to attract more believers, Lin Han, who had a lot of liquid money in his hands, ordered the head of the sect to do his best to help the unemployed and poor among the believers, to find employment opportunities for them, and to set aside a sum of money every month to provide a stomach-wrapping "sacrament" for devout believers and their families.
Although the food is only the cheapest potatoes and brown bread, it is very attractive to the poor who have no means of subsistence. The consequence is often that one person joins the Church, the whole family joins the Church, and the number of believers increases exponentially. If it weren't for Lin Han's "strict quality control" and his constant prohibition and elimination of those "false believers" who wanted to "fill up the numbers" and cheat into the church, the number of believers under the "Sephiroth" sect would have increased several times.
The 50,000 faithful now gathered on the farm, all the most devout and faithful parishioners, each holding a lit candle and praying reverently to the makeshift altar. Those who were not pious enough among them, those who fished in mixed waters, and those with ulterior motives, under the perception of Lin Han and Hannah, were all excluded and refused to enter. The SS and SA of the National Socialist Party were responsible for maintaining order and law and order on the outskirts of the farms to prevent unrelated persons from sneaking in and sabotage.
Since its establishment, the "Sephiroth" Church has been in conflict with the Roman Catholic Church due to its constant efforts to attract followers among the Catholic Church. After Christmas Eve last year, the Pope of Rome even publicly declared "Sephirothism" a heresy, and if it were two or three hundred years in the morning, he would even shout the slogan "burn heresy". As for Protestantism, since Germany is a predominantly Protestant Christian country, Lin Han did not want to have a premature conflict with Protestantism, and he still restrained himself from the Protestant Layang and Zhan believers, but the current relationship between the two sides is not very good. Now Germany is in chaos, after colluding with the National Socialist Party, the "Sephiroth" Church has almost no control in Germany, and although the church is angry at his behavior of pulling sheep to preach in the name of God, Catholicism and Protestantism themselves are a lot of bullshit, and there is no way to do anything but talk about it in this chaotic era.
Today's supernatural event at the launching ceremony of the "Deutschland" is undoubtedly a good opportunity for the expansion of the Sephiroth Religion, and Lin Han is more interested in the "quality" aspect of improving the loyalty and faith value of the people than the "quantity" of expanding the religious power, and after having a "body", this is also the best time for him, the "archangel", to appear in the world with his "true body".
On the pyramid-shaped altar, there is a bowl mouth thick, about two meters high, made of gold and silver cast pillar, originally the pillar plan was made of pure gold, but due to the suddenness of the incident, not enough gold can be found, so only part of the silver can be used to make up, fortunately, after the gold and silver are mixed, ordinary people can not see without careful inspection.
Around the pillar, twelve young and beautiful maidens, wearing flower crowns, holding hands in a circle around the pillar, around them, in the shape of a five-pointed star, distributed five large lit braziers, between the braziers with lit candles arranged in a line, pulling out five straight lines to connect the five braziers, on the altar to draw a five-pointed star shaped magic pattern. A circle, also drawn with a lit candle, encloses the pentagonal shape. And under the altar, 50,000 devotees surround the altar one on top of the other, reverently chanting incantations calling angels to descend.
Towards midnight, when 50,000 people chanted in unison, the loud incantation could be heard throughout Kiel Harbour.
"Zaa, Nastanada Zaza, Zaza......"
From time to time, a small number of the nearly 1,000 candles that make up the magic pattern are blown out by the night wind blowing from the harbor direction, but a flame always flies out of the surrounding brazier in time to ignite the extinguished candles. In this situation, even atheists who no longer believe in ghosts and gods will collapse their worldview and believe that there are gods and spirits in the world.
At twelve o'clock in the evening, all the churches of the Sephiroth cult in Kiel rang at the same time, and the believers who had been chanting incantations in a uniform tune stopped at the same time. The farm was suddenly in an eerie state of coldness, except for the distant sound of church bells and the chanting of the twelve holy virgins surrounding the gold and silver columns.
"Turn it on. Gates of Heaven. Bless us with that miracle of God! ”
(This passage is better to be a little more magical, which friend who is good at this hand helps me think about the spell of this summoning ritual)
When the midnight bell and the summoning spells of the Holy Virgins stopped, the gold and silver pillars standing in the center of the "Five-Star Magic Array" suddenly became soft like jelly, and the entire column melted like a heated candle, and then slowly formed the appearance of human limbs.
Watching the miracle begin, the surrounding believers became even more fanatical, and the night sky of Kiel echoed with new chanting again.
"Turn it on. Gates of Heaven. Bless us with that miracle of God! ”
The bodies of Lin Han and Hannah, who had long been hidden on the side, were centered on the gold and silver pillars, and the heroic bodies began to materialize, and the gold and silver pillars were softened and shaped by him and her with their own shaping abilities, and when their bodies were fully materialized and appeared on the altar, the gold and silver pillars had turned into a gorgeous armor with golden brilliance, draped on their heroic bodies.
Standing on the altar, Lin Han and Hannah wore silver masks on their faces, golden armor, and a pair of golden wings on their backs, holding a "goddess of victory" shaped magic battle in their right hands, and on their left arm, a vulture cast of gold and silver was taking shape.
If there is a traverser here, it can be seen at a glance that the appearance of this armor is simply copied from the design of the Athena Lady in Masami Cheda's masterpiece "Saint Seiya". If it weren't for the fact that the shape of the Greek statue of Athena was too famous in this era to be plagiarized, Lin Han even wanted to copy the shape of Athena holding the goddess of victory in one hand and the shield of justice in the other.
The scene of the "real arrival" of Lord Sapphirus, the archangel, was clearly seen by all 50,000 believers at the scene, which instantly ignited the faith fanaticism in their hearts.
A massive amount of faith power poured in from all directions, pouring into the bodies of Lin Han and Hannah, who were wearing armor and pretending to be ghosts on the altar, making the two of them feel that the power in their bodies increased instantly.
At this position more than 2,000 meters away from the Deutschland, the maximum load-bearing capacity of the two heroic spirits is about one ton, but surrounded by 50,000 fanatics, the strength of the two has increased several times in an instant, and the arm strength of one arm has risen to as much as five tons, even past the time when it is on the body of the Deutschland.
Lin Han and Hannah wore nearly a ton of gold and silver armor on their bodies, circled around the altar, and then returned to the center of the altar in harmony with everyone's eyes, and vanished, leaving the gold and silver armor behind.
Rushed and ill-prepared, the Advent performance did not achieve the perfect result, but it was enough to turn everyone present into a fanatic.
After the end of this "Please Dance God" event, Lin Han finally confirmed one thing: their strength comes from people's beliefs, and when it comes to believers, they are the most powerful.
