Chapter 204: Crazy Spread

The Book of Divine Grace was released much faster than Ciri had expected, and the book's popularity was beyond his expectations. X

The Bishop of Cork did what he promised, and it is true that the Grace Realm is not banned from sale in all dioceses, even if some churches find some of the contents inappropriate, they ban one volume individually, while the others continue to be released as usual.

There is currently no general history book in the charismatic realm that covers all the history from the beginning of the world to the present day. It first arose among the aristocracy, where there was little entertainment except for balls and the reading of old hymns and stories of the gods.

The Book of Divine Charisma spread among the aristocracy, making everyone realize that this world was not always like this. It's true that gods have always existed, but this world has also had other protagonists and has been changing cycles all the time. In addition to the traditional event of the dance party, another activity called the book club has gradually emerged.

The so-called book club invites some people who are interested in the Book of Divine Charisma to get together and have some discussion about some of the content of the book. Over the years, many facts have been buried under the rubble and burned in the flames of war, and no matter how much she collects information, she is unable to understand some of the historical truths. But he did not give up on them, but wrote down everything he knew, including the many speculations about a certain historical fact.

For example, the specific deeds of a hero, the reason for the disappearance of some lost country, or the whereabouts of a mysterious treasure, etc. These book clubs are really fruitful, and there are some things that Ciri can record all kinds of information and hypotheses that he knows, but he doesn't have the time and energy to verify them. These are the last things that those nobles lack, they just don't have the breadth of knowledge that Ciri has.

Many unknown historical facts were verified by the nobles, and the real answer was finally determined. Many traveling scholars even collected these historical facts confirmed by the nobles and wrote some similar books such as "Notes on the Historical Facts of the Book of Divine Grace", which also sold well among the nobles. At the same time, this made the nobles more enthusiastic about verifying the unconclusive speculations in the Book of Divine Grace, and every nobleman who verified the historical facts would be recorded in those supplementary books of the Book of Divine Grace, and their reputation spread throughout the Divine Grace Realm. This was undoubtedly a fatal attraction for the aristocracy.

The next book of charisma influenced the merchants. One of the main customers of the merchant is the nobles, and when the nobles are enthusiastic about the contents of the Book of Divine Grace, if a merchant has not read the book, the noble customers will not pay attention to you at all.

As more and more businessmen read the Book of Divine Charism, they found that they themselves had benefited from it as well. History always seems to be in a loop, and it is sometimes possible to guess the trajectory of the future based on history. The Book of Divine Grace also contains many of Ciri's own insights and understandings. These understandings do not refer to the gods of the Church or anything else, but only to reveal the laws and nature of how things work. But these insights are very precious to businessmen, and grasping the law and essence of things is equivalent to seizing business opportunities.

Many businessmen have written down the teachings they have learned from reading the Book of Divine Grace and have them with them to remind them of them. The merchants themselves have regular chamber of commerce activities, and in recent times, all chamber of commerce activities have been discussing some of their own feelings about the Book of Divine Grace.

The lower classes tend to follow the fashions of the upper classes. When both the aristocracy and the merchants were after something, the people at the bottom tended to follow in everything they did.

The overall development of "Divine Grace Realm" is very backward, and all this is in line with the wishes of the gods. Suffering is what makes people turn to the gods, and if everyone lives in peace and contentment, the appeal of the gods will be greatly reduced. Ordinary people at the bottom worry about their livelihoods every day, and most of them are illiterate at all, let alone buy heavy books like the Book of Divine Grace.

But although they are illiterate and can't afford to buy books, they can listen to books and are very enthusiastic about it, and that's pretty much their only form of entertainment.

There is a kind of professional --- bard who wanders among the people at the bottom of the world and specializes in delivering literary texts to these people. Bards are either some ruined aristocrats, bankrupt merchants, or newly promoted from the bottom, and sometimes some traveling scholars will also make a cameo appearance in this profession. They obtain knowledge from various sources, and then copy or modify it themselves, and give performances in some public places, and make a living from it. In order to attract business and customers, some shops and taverns will hire bards for a long time.

Before the Book of Charismatics, bards mostly told old stories that had been passed down and were widely known, but after the Book of Charismatics was published and widely circulated among nobles and merchants, the stories of bards were almost entirely replaced with relevant content in the Book of Charismatics. I have to say that this kind of historical record book is too suitable for bards to interpret, from the beginning of the world to the present of everyone's life, the content of a charismatic book coupled with their self-play is enough for bards not to repeat the lecture for a lifetime.

Many of the unheard secrets in the Book of Divine Grace and many unconclusive stories give the bard plenty of room to express himself. They can even concoct a whole story based on each hypothesis to captivate the audience.

After the book spread among the general public through many bards, the church had to re-examine the importance it placed on the Book of Charism. The belief in the gods comes from the people, and if a missionary clergyman has not read the book at all, he will have a lot of trouble while preaching, and some of the things recorded in the Charismatic Book are even clearer and more organized than those recorded in the church.

The books in the church are collectively called holy scriptures, and the holy scriptures are often written by believers, and those crazy believers cannot really record the details of everything, they will only use exaggerated methods to describe all the deeds about the gods they believe in.

As a result, even the Church itself is sometimes not very clear about the past, and the contents of some of the canonical records seem very embarrassing even to the Church itself. For example, a sacred text records that "a priest of the gods purified more than 100 pagan mages and the area of the place with a wave of his hand, and a huge lake appeared in its place."

Please, the priest is only the most junior missionary, and the author of the canon boasted it so much, some of the proselytized are likely to ask the pastor to demonstrate the power of God on the spot, what do you let the missionary pastor do. And everyone is not stupid, and a huge lake is formed with a wave of his hand, and those who know know that there is no lake at all in the place described in the holy scriptures.

Such accounts are a very common phenomenon in the canons of the Church, and sometimes due to the degree of exaggeration of the authors, there are accounts of the lower clergy being more powerful than the high clergy.
