In the traffic jam, the clerks of many shops on both sides of the street are holding tasting trays or leaflets, wandering around horse-drawn carriages and various pack carts and trying to do publicity.
Just a little hungry, Wayne called out to a female clerk with a tasting plate, and against her slightly darkened face, she tasted seventeen or eighteen pieces of cocoa pine rice in a row, and then muttered that it was too sweet, and turned his head to look at the newspaper without changing his face.
Recently, the family's financial conditions have been tight, and this thing is so sweet, not delicious and unhealthy, so don't waste money.
Well?
What, you ask me if it's not delicious, why do you have to eat a dozen pieces, are you eating and drinking?!
Joke, I, a noble, mysterious, elegant, and handsome wizard, would do such a thing as eating and drinking that is not aristocratic?
Isn't the clerk tired of selling such a big plate?
I'm carrying forward the spirit of doing good deeds without leaving a name, and help her eat all the things on the tasting plate in advance, so that she can get off work as soon as possible!
Bah......
Well, who is this who me, believe it or not, I use magic to teach you how to be a man in minutes!
Phew, Phew, Phew,
β¦β¦
The carriage moved forward slowly.
Just as Wayne scanned the street, wondering if he should call the salesman who was selling raspberry fruit wine not far away, rub some fruit wine, and soothe the sweet throat of eating too much cocoa pine rice dew.
A man in a black shabby tweed shirt and a wide-brimmed hat walked over and looked around for a moment, when he suddenly threw a stack of notes into Wayne's carriage.
Then the pale face panicked all the way back, and did not say a word, just buried his head in throwing a ball of folded notes into someone else's carriage, and turned into a small alley in an instant.
Wayne:???
Sending a flyer, how can it be the same as an underground spy joint?
Reaching out to catch the ball of paper that almost hit his face, Wayne spread out his eyes and couldn't help but wonder if he said, "Shinrikyo...... Does Pandora have this religion? β
"Shinrikyo?" Arnold drove the carriage and seemed to hear Wayne whispering to himself: "Master Wayne, this Shinrikyo is a religion that has suddenly emerged in Florence in the past month or two, and I heard that it is a religion of false gods driven out by the Kingdom of Withers over there. β
"False god religion?" Wayne was a little surprised: "Although there are not many powerful temples and churches in the Southern Continent, but there are also prayer halls of the Temple of the Four Seasons and the Ocean Church in Florence City, these Shinrikyo people are so bold that they dare to come out and continue to preach?" β
As the legendary god who caused the end of the wizarding era, Wayne still knows a lot.
The gods who were left over from the Wars of the Wizards of the Dawning Calendar were collectively referred to as the 'True Gods'.
After that, there have been many conspirators in history who used the name of gods made up out of thin air to gain benefits for themselves.
These 'gods' that do not belong to the ancient legacies are recognized as false gods by the major churches, and they are even higher than the remnants of wizards in terms of the degree of superior destruction.
It's the kind of level where the two sides meet, and I don't even care about my own mother, and I'm going to kill you.
"I don't know if they're bold or not, but these guys have a lot of mouth."
Arnold said in a playful tone: "These Shinrikyo believers, who say that they believe in the one true God and the Lord of the Truth, encourage the poor foreign men in the factories to protest and strike every day, and often clamore for the rich to take out their money and distribute it to the poor.
According to Lord Stanley, the Florent Security Bureau does not want to see the people of the Temple of the Four Seasons of the Ocean Church fighting for life and death in the city, and is ready to get out these whimsical and troublesome neurotics every day, and let them solve them outside the city by themselves. β
Wayne listened to Arnold's words, his eyes quickly swept over the flyer, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching a few times.
[The truth is eternal, faith is dedicated to the eternal and only true God, the Lord of truth, all people are equal, regardless of high and low, equal wealth, all the people of Pandora are united, armed to establish the only kingdom of heaven, without strife, without suffering, with a house for all, and a land for all......]
Looking at the whole flyer, Wayne had only one feeling.
This truth is cooled...... (There is no implication in this sentence and any shooting and expedited lists are categorically not accepted)
As mentioned above, thanks to the advent of the steam engine, the social structure of parts of Pandora did evolve towards the time of the first industrial revolution on Earth in the 18th century.
For example, the emergence of modern labor-intensive factories and the big capitalists, the bourgeoisie.
The House of Representatives in Ceylon is a product of this environment.
But.
Please note this, however, the above is only for some areas.
In this world of magic, supernatural power, and even the existence of a true God.
Slavery had not yet been abolished in most parts of Middle-earth and the northern continent, and the social structure was in the pattern of an ancient centralized kingdom.
Even many powerful countries with a large number of top knights and even god-givers (warlocks) slowly suppressed the royal power above the divine power when the gods did not come out for a thousand years.
Capitalists also rely on their own economic strength, spend money for hundreds of years to cultivate all kinds of top-notch extraordinary combat power, and continue to strive for it to have today's status.
In this environment, the doctrine of Shinrikyo has no money, no power, and no top-notch extraordinary combat power, and it still wants to equalize the world, eliminate the rich, and build the only kingdom of heaven by force.
Indeed, it is undeniable that the power of ordinary people is really great.
But in this world of supernatural power, no amount of mortals can pull down the inherent ruling class.
What's more, the existing ruling class is not stupid at all, and the Pandora countries have knightly examination competitions, various judicial selection exams, and various elementary skill schools to teach a skill......
Why should most ordinary people, when they have the path of social advancement, follow you, the Shinrikyo that wants to fight against the whole world.
And most crucially,
The doctrine of Shinrikyo says: Faith is dedicated to the eternal and only true God.
emmmβ¦β¦
The One True God!!
Little brother, your guts are really fat......
He even shouted out the hearts of many churches and temples that had been thinking about it for so many years, but in the end they dared not shout it.
I don't want to say much other nonsense, since you say that your god is the only true body, then we have to discuss whether my god's god is the real god or not?!
