The first official broadcast of the Magic Network set off a wave in a quarter of the southern territory - almost overnight, this incredible, able to see the distant scene and open to the whole people, new and interesting things became the focus of discussion, and in the areas that the Magic Network Communication could not reach, people also knew about the existence of the Magic Network Broadcasting: the rapidly published newspaper devoted a whole page to the first Magic Network Broadcast, which explained to people the basic concept of the Magic Network Communication, The basic concept of the radio program, and the general content of the first issue of "Witch Time", and along with this issue of the newspaper, there is one more thing:

A thin book called The White Knight.

It's a book that's only a few dozen pages long, and it's cheap and plain in paper and binding, which is completely different from the long, heavy and expensive scholarly books of the old days, but it's still a real book.

This cheap book, which sells only ten copper plates, is the first book in the south for the whole people, and its content is simple and simple - it tells the story of the birth of the White Knight in a similar way in the first half of the book, and the second half of the book is the author's reflection on the way of the operation of the Church of Light and the perception of the Holy Light.

Some were deeply touched, others were skeptical, but there was no doubt that the authority of the Church of Light was gradually disintegrating among these people.

This is the natural result: although there are many believers in the Holy Light Church, it is impossible for everyone to be a devout believer in the Church, and the vast majority of ordinary people who follow the Church are actually just a peace of mind, and these shallow believers' understanding of the Holy Light Texts itself is very superficial and one-sided, and they are not very firm, and of course it is quite easy to change.

After all, the new doctrine of the Light is still "Light", which sounds similar, and as long as it is "almost", the vast majority of ordinary people will not bother to discern it: they will focus more on their own lives.

And of course, there are also unwavering supporters of the Church among the common people, and even now that the Government Council has completely blocked the church's missionary pathways, created a two-month faith vacuum, and there is propaganda from the newspapers and the magic web, there will still be people who insist on the correctness of the old church, which is inevitable—but they are only a minority after all, and their conversion is only a matter of time as time goes by.

And for those cultists who don't pay much attention to the belief in the Holy Light, their biggest feeling at the moment is "peace of mind", because someone has finally stepped forward to control the violent atrocities of the Holy Light Church - they don't seem to notice that the "Faith and Church" section of Cecil Weekly not only discusses the Light, but also the common sense of the major churches is also implanted in a subtle way...... Or rather, they noticed, but for the vast majority of ordinary people, they were far less sensitive in this regard than the professional clergy.

In the palace of Lord Cecil, Gawain looked at the report that Hetty had handed over to him—it contained the sales of the book "The White Knight" and the circulation of newspapers in various places, as well as the random investigation of the magic network programs around Cecil City.

"There will be more newspaper op-eds and supplements, there will be regular Magic Net programs, and the warm-up work for Protestantism has begun, and Mr. Godwin Orlando has prepared an article that will discuss in the newspaper 'whether to establish a new order of light'. In addition, local advocacy and facilitators have also begun to take action to ensure that there are enough people to discuss this issue in areas where literacy rates are low and there is no signal from the magic network. ”

Hetty reported on the progress of the work, and the old ancestor in front of her showed a smile of satisfaction.

"Very good," Gawain nodded, casually putting down the report, "we should start this work with the people at the grassroots level - those priests have been on the high for too long, they don't realize that the majority of ordinary people are the foundation of their church, and once ordinary people lose trust and reverence for the church, the collapse of the Holy Light Church will not need a single shot." ”

Rebecca, who was standing behind Gawain, listened to the conversation between the two with a cute look on her face (she was here to report the technical information of the Magic Network's broadcasting system), and then couldn't help but say: "So you can really drive those gods out of the Luan Cathedral?" ”

"What we're doing now is to drive out the influence of those 'god sticks' from the hearts of the civilians in the south, but this is a very long-term project," Gawain shook his head, "People's hearts are easy to shake, but not so fast, the Holy Light Church has been active in Ansu for hundreds of years, and its influence is deep-rooted, and it will take a long time to completely expel them from people's hearts." Making people question the church is the first step, planting a new church is the second step, and then we need years, even more than a decade, to replace the old doctrine with the new doctrine little by little, so that people will recognize this kind of change of customs from the bottom of their bones, which is not something that can be easily done in a few newspaper issues and a few programs. ”

"Wow-" Rebecca's eyes widened in surprise, "Does it take so long to change people's minds?" ”

Hetty glanced at the roe deer: "Nonsense, it took you eight years to change the problem of painting a mustache on the teacher's face, not to mention that now we have to change the thinking of hundreds of thousands or even millions of people." ”

Rebecca stuck out her tongue: "That...... What about the priests in Luan? When will they be kicked out? ”

"They'll leave before then—I didn't plan on letting them stay in the South that long," Gawain said casually, "The influence of the Church of Light will take a long time to remove, but the priests are different...... It only takes one wrath of the people to drive them out. ”

Hetty couldn't help but frown: "Can that Amber guy really do it......"

Gawain glanced at Hetty, smiled and shook his head, "Seriously, you underestimated her. ”

Hetty looked skeptical: "Yes......"

"Fighting with people, Amber may be cowardly to everyone, but she has a talent beyond your imagination when she is active at the bottom of society, carrying out destruction and infiltration with her own people," Gawain said as he pulled out a stack of materials from his desk, "You should have seen the news from the MIA agents from Lu'an City, so you should also take a look at these things." ”

Hetty took the materials suspiciously, looking at them with a look of astonishment.

"The pro-cathedralists and those against the cathedral have begun to pit each other, the clergy community has cracked, the rumours about the former bishop Lemont are circulating in the chapel district, along with dozens of rumors that are true and false, and the cathedral is constantly sending ordination friars and papal knights to extinguish those rumors and propaganda materials, and when they extinguish one, two will pop up, and even the curfews, rationings, searches, interrogations that they carry out in the process of the curfews, rationings, searches, interrogations themselves, It will also immediately become a new source of rumors and a source of instability," Gawain looked at Hetty's expression and said unhurriedly, "Amber and her team are always hidden in the crowd, and whenever any incident occurs, they are the first to catch the point that can attract people's attention and debate, and push it a little in the most appropriate position...... Then, the opposition and mutual suspicion of the crowd naturally happened. ”

Hetty was dumbfounded, and Gawain continued slowly: "In the process, Amber and her team have caught almost all the moments when the clergy show their ugliness, and these 'moments' have become the pictures and images that you and I see, and these pictures and images, after passing through Godwin Orlando, will become newspapers and leaflets distributed throughout the territory, and in the near future, they will become a magic network radio program, and the anger against the priests in Luan Cathedral will spread from inside Luan to outside the city, and eventually become a whole. ”

Hetty raised her head and looked at Gawain with an expression of disbelief: "These...... Did you teach her? ”

"I taught her a part, the most basic part, and then she took care of all the details herself, and trained her people to be masters of it," Gawain said, with a slight sigh in his tone, "She's real...... Very good at using a poison-quenched dagger. ”

Hetty didn't know what to say for a moment, all she knew was that for the first time she felt the half-elf who usually looked annoying and cowardly...... He's a strong man.

It's even chilling.

……

Amber is really good at wielding poison-quenching daggers, and she's been more and more sure of that lately.

The sabotage of the city of Luan continues, and it is gradually reaching a critical stage.

Antagonism and suspicion are spreading from the outer city to the inner city, and the vacillation of hearts and minds is no longer confined to the common people, and now, even the clergy who believe in the god of light have a serious sense of distrust of the cathedral.

In the secret stronghold, members of the action team are reporting the latest situation: "Chief, it has been established that a number of low-ranking priests have recently been publicly disciplined, and many others have been locked up underground in the church district for penance, more than the last time. ”

In this regard, Amber only nodded in anticipation: "The second batch of leaflets sent to the inner city has come into effect. ”

One of his subordinates couldn't help but sigh: "It's really unexpected...... After the first leaflets were destroyed, there were still priests in the chapel district who would hide the propaganda materials......"

"Those gods are also people, and since they are people, they have human hearts," Amber said nonchalantly, fiddling with the small dagger in her hand, watching the quenched blade glow slightly blue-purple in the dim starlight, "When the first leaflets entered the city, the priests in the outlying areas may have only been curious about them, and were slightly suspicious of the contents of the leaflets, but at that time they were still loyal to the church, loyal to the cathedral—but the cathedral itself apparently didn't think so, The people of the cathedral did not trust the low-ranking clergy and clergy, and they magnified the impact that the leaflets might have had, treating the people of the chapel district as 'potential heretics for the shaken faith'...... Then the situation can only get worse. ”

"But then again, sir, how do you know for sure how the cathedral will react? How do you know the cathedral must have misestimated the situation in the chapel district? ”

Amber glanced at the subordinate who asked the question: "Quite simply, I went to the chapel district while the cathedral was taking action. ”

"Huh?"

"The cathedral's magic circle is a bit of a problem, but the chapel can't stop me," Amber said slowly, "I hid a lot of leaflets in the chapels before the ordination monks acted. The long lockdown has accumulated a lot of high-pressure emotions among those clergy, and the appearance of leaflets has led to a decrease in their mutual trust, and in this situation many leaflets have suddenly popped up, even the managers of small churches will not think of suspicion, but will think that other people in the church are hiding leaflets because they themselves ...... In fact, my heart is also shaken.

"Those ordination monks probably found thousands of leaflets from the chapel district...... But in reality, the number of flyers that actually flow into the inner city is less than a tenth of that number. ”

Seeing the shocked and admiring expressions of his subordinates, Amber just flipped the dagger in his hand casually: "You guys, you still have a lot to learn......

She raised her wrist, and the quenched dagger flew out silently in the night, and with a soft thud, the dagger was firmly nailed to a pillar in the room.

"It's almost time to send a message to the headquarters...... No matter how slow the people of the cathedral are, it is time to realize our existence, and we must be ready for the next move. ”

(I feel my brain trembling!!) ）
