The warm sun shone on the earth, and the square in front of the Cathedral of the God of Money in Rude City was a lively scene of a large celebration.

"The judges of the first stage are His Excellency Pope Nicholas, the famous mathematician Shunand, and the highly respected Sister Eric of our Money God Cult." Lin's slightly hoarse voice resounded in the square, and she smiled and introduced the judges to the crowd present.

The east side of the square in front of the church is divided into a place for the Cult of Money to entertain important guests. Pope Ide of the Ancient Asian Cult and Pope Martí of the Book of Law are seated in the first row of this area.

Ide glanced at the people in different clothes around him and behind him, and pinched his chin in thought.

As Nina said, the saints of the God of Money Cult do exist like vases, but every fifteen years, the God of Money Cult, which never does loss-making business, has to invest a lot of money in this selection that seems to be a "vase". Ide has some views on the meaning of this.

Yide believes that there may be such a meaning in the selection of the Holy Maiden of the Cult of the God of Money, and the selection of the Holy Maiden is a special means that has a deterrent effect and shows the essence of the Cult of the God of Money.

Id had known for a long time that the Cult of Money had unimaginable connections, but Id had never had a definite idea of this. However, after watching the VIP area selected by the Holy Maiden of the Money God Sect today, Yide really understood how terrifying the Money God Sect's connections were.

It's no wonder that Joan of Arc committed such a big thing in Thres, but after the Money God Cult was able to stuff it back into its own church, she calmly faced the accountability of a great empire.

On the huge territory of the Divine Grace Continent, there are two empires and five kingdoms, but today's Rude City has gathered two kingdom-level church popes and a kingdom-level church chief bishop. These are three whole different Kingdom churches.

There are only five authentic Kingdom churches on the continent. There are three of them! The Ancient Asian Cult, the Church of the Book of Law, and the Harvest and Wisdom Cult, this luxurious plastic surgery alone is enough to blind many intelligence spies.

Needless to say, there were also high-ranking figures of the Principality-level Church, as well as representatives of many small denominations at the city level, except for the various Holy Sees. There are also several leaders of large mercenary groups and large guild presidents in the VIP seats.

For example, the leader of the famous large mercenary group "Red Sand Mark" [Red Scorpion] Oakes, and the legendary vice president of the Bounty Hunters Guild [Trace Raid] Archie.

The leader of the "Gun and the Rose" [Fire Rose] Lady Helen, the leader of the "Bow of Shock" [the namer] Bazafi, the blank elder of the "Old Man in the Mountains", the leader of the Fairy Forest Guild [Sword Skill Matchless] Qiluno, etc., the leaders of these mercenary groups and large guilds with great fame and prestige actually gathered in Rude City today, and this scene can indeed make people feel frightened just by looking at it.

"What are you thinking, Lord Ed? The game is about to begin. Lady Marty, the female Pope of the Book of Law, who was sitting on Id's left hand, couldn't help but speak with some curiosity when she saw Ide put on this contemplative posture.

"Well, I'm just a little emotional, the connections of the Money God Sect are really terrifying. I've heard that the VIP area here is only a small part of the network. It's shocking to think about. Id, who was summoned back to God by Marty, looked at the "young" Pope Nicholas who was sitting on the judges' table at the booth with some sighs.

Hearing Ed's emotion, Ms. Marty chuckled and nodded, as the pope of a kingdom-level church supported by the Money God Cult, Marty has quite a unique opinion on the Money God Sect, "This is mainly related to the Money God Sect's lesson of 'not fighting for hegemony, only making money'." 'One less opponent, one more collaborator.' Get a piece of the pie. This is something that many people like to see. ”

"Holding high the banner of money and interests, it's strange that you don't have a wide range of connections. After all, the relationship between any large organization. Always put your interests first. Of course, it is not pure profit-seeking, there is also some love and justice in it. ”

Ide nodded somewhat approvingly at Marty's analysis.

"Actually, compared to the vast network of the Cult of the God of Money, I think that the rise of you and your Ancient Ya Cult is truly amazing. Never before has a papacy been able to leap from a city to a kingdom in just a few years. ”

Marty chuckled twice. The dark brown eyes looked at Ide, looking at the real young Pope, Marty also had a feeling that he might be dreaming, the young Pope Ide, is definitely a legend. A legend that will go down in history and be passed down through the ages.

Listening to Ms. Marty's exclamation, Ide scratched his cheek a little embarrassed, "It's just luck." ”

"Many people say that luck is also a kind of strength. Moreover, I heard Nicholas say that the god of money has been very optimistic about your ancient gods from the beginning. Even when the god of money communicated with Nicholas, he once felt that he might not be as good as the god of Guya. ”

Yide nodded his head without a trace, and the super golden thigh image of his own ancient god had already penetrated deep into Yide's heart.

"That's right, Lord Ed. I heard Nicholas say, your ancient Ya god cult is going to hold a selection of saints in a while? ”

"Well, it does. Actually, another purpose of coming to the ceremony was to see if I could learn something. Halfway through his words, Ide sighed a little helplessly, "However, after reading the assessment form for the selection of the Holy Maiden of the God of Money Sect yesterday, I knew that it was probably impossible to visit and study. The selection of the saints of the God of Money Cult is too characteristic of it. And, to be honest, I feel that the selection of saints in our ancient Ya God Sect should be much more serious than that of the Money God Sect. ”

"Haha, this set of Nicholas is really not suitable for other sects to learn, it's too joyful to jump out." Marty, who had a somewhat bold personality, laughed and patted the table, glancing at the candidate saints of the Money God Sect on the booth not far away, "Well, to be precise, there are too many cheerful jokes. ”

This time, the selection of the Holy Maiden of the Money God Cult is divided into three stages, and the first stage is that counting is king. In this stage, what the alternate saints have to do is to summarize and count an account book as thick as half a Xinhua dictionary and calculate the final account of the account book. At this stage, it is this group of writing candidates who are tested for the computing power of the math masters.

Note: It is forbidden to use magic computers in the game, calculators with a price of more than 10 gold coins are all prohibited, and it is forbidden to use calculators with a price of more than 10 gold coins.

In the Divine Grace Continent, where luxury magic energy technology is highly developed, such a thing as a magic energy calculator has actually existed for a long time, but generally those who use magic energy calculators are national-level account inspections. How to burn money, the civilian alchemists who uphold the luxurious style of the civil department have indeed developed the performance of the magic energy calculator to the extreme, but it is also the same, which also causes the magic energy calculator to cost a lot.

For this group of frenzied cash-burning alchemists, probably in their cognition, the effectiveness of a magic computer is directly related to its energy consumption.

Therefore, on the Divine Grace Continent, even the most ordinary simple magic energy calculator has a price of at least hundreds of gold coins, not counting its subsequent energy consumption, so the magic energy calculator is definitely not something that ordinary merchants are willing to buy and use.

For this reason, in the Divine Grace Continent, the vast majority of people still use mental arithmetic and scratch paper calculations to calculate.

However, having said that, in fact, Ed still has to thank the alchemists for this extravagant comparison, if it weren't for their love and vanity comparison, Ed probably wouldn't have had a chance to pick up the slack.

The birth of the abacus can indeed set off a wave of reform in the arithmetic world. The simplest and cheapest abacus can even be made with just a piece of wood.

Of course, for the general luxury atmosphere of the civil department, it can also be seen from the side that the alchemy master of the ancient Asian god sect, Ai Shiqi? Swarovski's "Book to the Civil Alchemist" is its popularity, importance and necessity. (To be continued......)
