Since the formation of the Industrial Party in Ortunno, the number of dwarves in the northwest has increased dramatically. In addition to the hawkers, there are more scholars and workers looking for work.

For this reason, Nolan's merchants showed great interest, and these were all money. He especially likes to hire dwarves as workers, with low wages, hard-working, and good craftsmanship.

The life of the scholars who did not come from Ortuno was not so easy, and almost all the schools did not welcome them. The estrangement between Rune and Ortuno has become deeply rooted in the hearts of everyone in both countries.

This gap is even greater in the minds of the Rune intellectuals, who are literate and can read history books. Know the grievances between Rune and Ortuno since the founding of the country. If you also help the dwarves learn knowledge, you won't be able to make weapons for the enemy.

These well-respected scholars in Ortuno arrived in Nolan but were street rats, and everyone shouted and beat them. The huge gap has caused many people to leave angrily. Of course, there are those who grit their teeth and persevere, after all, Nolan's library does not restrict the entry and exit of dwarves.

Faced with this situation, Thorin was also helpless, and these scholars ate and drank Lazar at Nolan's public expense. Even then they were reluctant to stay in Nolan, and one can imagine what kind of treatment they suffered in Nolan.

Since it can't be done in Nolan, let's open a school in China. Thorin spent a lot of money to bring in a few high-ranking scholars from Nolan. After all, in the eyes of others, even if your conditions are good, they are better than in Rune. Dwarves have different living habits from them, and it is easy to adapt to the soil and water. Although the status has risen and the money has increased, the quality of life has declined. It's no wonder that others are reluctant to do anything.

Therefore, the scholars in Ortuno gradually divided into three groups, one was the traditional scholars who were unwilling to accept new things. This faction is the least numerous and the least promising. On the one hand, there are scholars who have settled down in Nolan's gritted teeth, and they are the hardest hit by the new things. And because he suffered the most injustice in Nolan, he also has the most desire to serve the country. The other, which is also the largest in between, learns new knowledge in the territory of the country of Ortunno.

All three schools of thought will have a strong impression on Ortuno.

While Ortuno was lying on his back, the Papal States erupted in conflict like never before. Even the Pope can't avoid it.

The forces dominated by Cardinal Negan were fiercely attacked by Cardinal Kirk's forces, and the two forces were at odds. The fall of the Holy Armor Army ignited the contradictions between the two forces.

Cardinal Kirk thinks Negan is so close to Nolan's weapons that he forgets to develop divine arts. Negan, on the other hand, believed that the reason for the defeat was the failure to use the artillery provided by the dwarves.

In the Pope's opinion, neither of the two sides is right.

Although the magic is powerful, it is not based on attack, and if you want to have an advantage on the battlefield, you can't rely entirely on it. Negan, on the other hand, did not take into account the actual situation, and almost all the armies of the Papal States were cavalry. Although the artillery is powerful, it is unlikely that the army will be transformed in a short period of time.

The loss on the battlefield is definitely not such a simple reason.

Deeper is the fundamental conflict between the church and new technology, and the doctrine is incompatible with Nolan's set of knowledge. The Papal States could not simply absorb Nolan's technical knowledge like Ortuno did. This practice is seen as blasphemy within the church.

If this continues, the Church may still exist, but the Papal States will certainly not exist. At that time, the church was a persimmon to be manipulated, and the purpose of the church's existence was not to spread doctrine but to provide divine healing. For thousands of years, the Church has regarded magic as just an auxiliary means to spread doctrine, but will this become the meaning and means of the Church's existence in the future?

The Pope wanted to find an heir who could reconcile this contradiction, not two madmen bound by interests.

The Pope was glad and worried that he would have more than a dozen years to live, and that he would not die early like Olmedo. Leave a mess behind.

Now the question is how to clean up this mess?

How can one avoid the teachings to learn Rune's technical knowledge?

This question will haunt the pope until his death.

However, the concept of priests scattered in the churches of Rune has quietly changed.

Before the establishment of the research institute in Nolan, the school. The Church is the most literate institution on the entire continent. Every pastor undergoes rigorous cultural training, and in their spare time, they read some of Rune's books.

Although some books are considered heretical, there is always no patience for some bold pastors. What's more, the church in Rune is completely out of the control of the church. The Papal States simply cannot supervise and control these churches in real time.

So pastors were among the first people to read science, and at first they scoffed at the ideas in the book that contradicted their ideas.

But then they found that this body of knowledge was so perfect and the logic was so self-consistent. Compared with the doctrine of using the priest as a shield at every turn, the doctrine is even more heretical. The contrast was so great that these pastors began to think.

What is more important is that this knowledge can be embodied in reality, and no one has claimed to have seen God the Father for so many years. Most rumors of the Father's apparitions are unreliable gossip, and the so-called miracles never really happen before people's eyes.

It is not right to say that doctrine is wrong.

How to explain the divine power, the divine power and the scientific knowledge system are not integrated at all!

But at the same time, the two exist in each other. All the priests in Rune thought about the compatibility of the two almost every day, and they were tormented and crazy about it. The world seems to be split in two, one is the church that sings the praises of God the Father every day, and the other is a science that shouts rationality and logic. The pastor's mindset is constantly changing.

The prayer to God the Father every night is no longer reverent, nor is the doctrine read with impassionedness.

But people who live do not stay where they are. Even if there is no road, step on a path with your feet.

Since magic is incompatible with science, then establish a separate system. In addition to "Physics", "Chemistry", "Mathematics" and other disciplines, a separate system was established, and at the same time, scientific methods were used to explore divine arts.

What's more, these priests began to ignore the presence of priests. They began to inquire about the origin of divine arts, and began to study how to obtain divine arts. Do you have to be a cleric to get it?

These doctrinal prohibitions, these pastors began to experiment with impunity behind their backs.

Since science can't be integrated into divine art, let divine magic be integrated into science. The Pope could not solve the problem, and these priests stationed in Rune began to solve it.

And what kind of Pandora's box this will open is unknown.
