Chapter 3: Misha, the Demon (2-in-1, Subscription Requested!! )
After the Multinational Conference, the next day Mavi convened the Truth Conference at St. Basil's Cathedral.
Wild, the goddess of health, and Luca, the bard, attended the meeting as new members, and the conference summed up the situation of the year, and to Mavi's satisfaction, during the time he was away, Dino and Christopher, and Sarina managed the church very well, whether it was preaching, relief, development, or people's livelihood.
A year ago, the Romanov kingdom was a country in ruins, just after the war, there were signs of recovery, and after the nobles who had encroached on a large number of fields, the peasants had land to cultivate, this time, they no longer had to pay interest to the nobles, they did not need to borrow seeds, and the first year was all given by the church free of charge.
This decision was made by Mavi, executed by Dino, who did a good job, using the money earned by the Manstein Potions Company to make up for the church's shortfall, not only gaining more believers, but also receiving a large amount of voluntary donations the following year.
The more believers there are, the more donations the church will receive, and the more donations it will receive, the more livelihood policies it can carry out in conjunction with the local government, and the more livelihood policies it will carry out, the more famous the Church of Truth will be, and the more believers will be....
As long as a virtuous circle is entered, the situation will gradually stabilize.
When this generation gives birth to children and receives the influence of the church from an early age, over time, are they still afraid that the doctrine will not be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people?
It is difficult to say that it is difficult to develop a church, but it is easy to say that it is simple, and the same is true for national governance, the principle is basically the same, and the key lies in whether or not it can get the support of the people.
At the meeting, Mavi called for a vote to determine the city where the Holy See would be located in the Church of Truth, and after consideration, to choose between London, Helsinki, Ottawa, Kiev and Mosk.
If the Holy See is set up in Kyiv, it is undoubtedly a very bold move, which means that the archscopal of the Church of Truth will face directly with the Kingdom of Frederick and become the bridgehead for the development of the Church of Truth towards the central continent.
The disadvantages are self-evident, once the Apocalypse Divine System launches an attack, the Archpapacy may immediately fall into a crisis, and the benefits are obvious, with Kiev as the core, a large area of land can be radiated outward, and the control area of the Archpacy's control will be greatly increased.
This proposal was unanimously opposed by Dino and others, Kyiv is a good city, but it is also a place of four wars, once the Apocalypse God Department has moved, Kyiv will bear the brunt, in today's situation is still unclear, the Holy See should be in a safer place.
Kyiv was excluded in the first place, and Ottawa was too far from the Central Continent to approve of it, even if it was proposed by Mavi.
As the capital of the Kingdom of Manitoba, Ottawa is only a hundred miles from the United States of Citi, and the significance of Mavi's proposal for this city is self-evident.
The Kingdom of Manitoba is good, but it is too remote, and in addition to posing a great threat to the United States of Citi, it will not help the situation in the Central Continent.
It's too far, it's too close, and the last three are left:
London, Helsinki, Mosk.
These three cities are very suitable, if the Holy See is located in Helsinki, it can bind the Kingdom of Windsor and the Kingdom of Romanov at the same time, acting as a deterrent, the only problem is...
Helsinki is too far north, with a population of less than 100,000, and is currently a small and inconspicuous city, which does not meet the requirements of the Holy See in all respects.
Not surprisingly, Helsinki was also ruled out.
When only London and Mosk are left to choose, there is not much suspense left, as Katerina envisions.
The kingdom of the three goddesses of fate is in London, and the kingdom of God cannot be integrated, once the archchurch is placed there, there will be a phenomenon of rejection of the kingdom of God, and Ma Wei will not allow this to happen.
On the other hand, Mosk, located on the westernmost side of the Eastern Continent and the northeast end of the Central Continent, can go south to plot Rome, and retreat to the deep ditch of Siberia to wait for the times to change, and place the Holy See here, which is much more advantageous than London.
Moreover, Dino, Christopher and others have been living in Mosk for a year, and have long been accustomed to the environment here, so they moved out again
, which doesn't seem to be too good an option.
Eventually, the Holy See was located in Mosk, and after the meeting, Mavi took Yunia to the Royal Academy of Sciences to check the results of alchemy technology.
As early as half a year ago, Ma Wei got the research materials from the Doomsday Party and sent them all back to Mosk, and after such a long time, it should have some results.
Because there was no prior notice, the Royal Academy of Sciences did not know that Ma Wei would come in person, and they were shocked to see the pope suddenly appear.
After Katerina's rectification, the Royal Academy of Sciences has undergone earth-shaking changes, not to mention the improvement of research efficiency, and the act of stealing research funds to enrich one's own pocket has also disappeared.
There was no way, Katerina ordered Bodlinov to form a secret police organization, these secret police are elusive, and it is likely that they are lurking around them, even if they steal research funds by bypassing everyone, when you want to spend it, you have to ask the cat on the roof if you agree.
The departure of Fat Orange and Xiao Hei does not mean that Mosk is out of control, at least Xiao Xiao Hei adopted by Xiao Hei to take over their duties, quite a bit of Fat Orange's demeanor, and the management is in good order.
Pugachev, the current president of the Royal Academy of Sciences, heard that Mavi and the goddess were coming, and hurriedly rushed out of the office, came to Mavi in fear, and asked in a low voice, "Your Majesty, are you here to inspect our work?"
"I'm here to learn about the progress of research on alchemy technology."
Ma Wei said, "According to my instructions in the letter, the research on alchemy technology should have been established."
"Yes, yes, we have set up the most elite research team from the moment we received the order..."
Pugachev hurriedly led the way ahead: "In the research of alchemical technology, the kingdom and the church have approved us for research funds of 300,000 rubles every year..."
"Is it too little?"
"No, no, no, it's totally enough, there's still quite a bit of surplus..."
Pugachev doesn't dare to be greedy for a penny now, and even in this year's time, in order to save his life, he spit out all the money he had swallowed before, Katerina's ruthlessness, he knows better than anyone else.
And Pope Mavi is even more terrible than Katerina, Katerina will give him a chance to atone for his sins, and Pope Mavi will most likely send him directly to the gallows, and it is better to go to Siberia to serve hard labor ....
The nobles who died at the hands of Ma Wei were not ten thousand, but eight thousand.
If Katerina still has to rely on the support of the military nobles to sit on the throne, then Mavi, who has come from scratch step by step, does not need the support of the nobles at all, it is enough for him to have a goddess.
As long as the goddess trusts him for one day, his position is unshakable.
Judging from Yunia's attitude of following him with a fart and never leaving...
Pope Mavi still has a long time to come.
Pugachev personally pushed open the door of the research room, and in the room, Bloom and other researchers, who were doing data calculations, heard the sound of the door opening and stopped, and just as they were about to speak, they saw Mavi standing behind Pugachev.
Smack!
A piece of chalk fell to the ground and fell in two, in front of the blackboard, Misha, who was stepping on the stool and tiptoeing to write the formula, was stunned, and didn't even notice that the chalk in her hand was pinched off by herself....
"Bloom! What are you still doing in a daze! Pope Mavi himself has come to visit you!"
Pugachev winked hard at Misha's mentor, Professor Bloom, hoping that he would be kinder.
You know, these big names who are concentrating on research have a very strange temper, and they put on a face when they say it, but it doesn't matter who you are.
As early as Tyumen, Mavi had met with Bloom, a specially designed test to select geniuses from among the refugees, and few passed, and the most talented of them was Misha, who studied with Bloom.
More than a year has passed, and Misha's talent has been fully integrated into the research team.
And her mentor...
Bloom nodded symbolically at Pugachev's suggestion: "Your Majesty, long time no see."
"No need to be polite, you
Did you receive the information from me?"
"Roger."
Pointing to the thick stack of documents scattered on the table, Bloom said, "On the basis of that research, we carried out detailed calculations and deduced new possibilities."
Ma Wei stepped forward and picked up a sheet casually, but found that the numbers on it were a headache, as a liberal arts student, science is not his strong point, the teaching foundation is okay, and then the higher science subjects....
He's completely blind.
"Ahem... So how's it going?"
"Didn't you see that?"
"Bloom!"
Pugachev rushed up quickly, sneering at Mavi as he pulled a confused Bloom to the side and said, "I can't even read those ghost talismans you wrote! Can you explain it to Pope Mavi?!"
"How do you want me to explain?" Bloom frowned and said, "Hypergeometric series is the basis for solving second-order linear equations, if you don't even understand these, is it necessary to talk about the formulas of Euler's total differential equations and the theory of complex variable functions later?"
Pugachev threatened: "You are enough! Bloom! I'm telling you! 300,000 research funds are from the church! If your research results do not satisfy Pope Mavi, the research group will most likely be disbanded! Then you're going to go back and work on that damn complex function!"
Hearing the research funds, Bloom's eyes widened slightly, and after a while, he squeezed out a smile, like an old witch tricking others into eating poisoned apples, full of female deceit and treachery, and the people who watched it stood on end.
Syllable!
A slap in the face, not very hard, but kept Bloom in place.
Pugachev was furious: "What the hell are you laughing at?"
"I'm trying to make myself look kinder.... Isn't it nice to Lord Kim?"
"You look like my grandma's face at my grandpa's funeral! Don't laugh! Answer Pope Mavi's question in the simplest of words!"
"Do you want to start with the metageometric series formula?"
"Damn it! Can you just say the results? The process doesn't matter!"
"Okay..."
Returning to Mavi, Bloom organized the language: "In the past six months, we have gained a lot, and the research data is also very valuable, but all the conjectures we have made need to be experimented..."
"What do you need to do the experiment?"
"The corpse of a transcendent creature." Bloom thought for a moment, "This is the main thing, we found that the magic used by the Earl Stone can be extracted from the corpse, but this needs to be filtered to leave only the purest part, and if the corpse is cut using a specific method, it can still retain the abilities that the corpse had before death..."
"Is it possible to extract directly from otherworldly beings?" Mavi asked, "It's like drawing blood."
"The research hasn't gotten to that far."
Bloom shrugged, "Perhaps, that's a direction."
Ma Wei, who had seen the golden gods, of course knew that it was feasible to extract magic directly from the gods.
It should be said that the magic of the entire Atlantis operation is provided by the golden gods.
They were locked up in that tower, an endless source of energy.
Perhaps more research materials are underneath London, and Mavi intends to dig deeper into Londinium to dig as much as possible without affecting the lives of Londoners.
"If you want the corpse of a transcendent creature, I will transfer it from London, make a list for me, and if you need it, you can apply directly to the church, and I will try my best to meet it."
The corners of Bloom's mouth twitched, and he was about to show an eerie smile, but fortunately Pugachev reacted quickly and pinched his ass hard before holding it back.
At this moment, Yunia tugged at Mavi's sleeve, and following her gaze, Mavi saw Misha.
I haven't seen her for a year, Misha's face is a lot ruddy, her hair is no longer yellow, her thin body has become healthy, the food of the Royal Academy of Sciences is good, and when it comes to the supply of researchers, both Mavi and Katerina are very generous.
As long as there is a breakthrough in research and development, bonuses are indispensable, and there are even patents and authorship rights.
In other words, as long as something useful is developed, there is absolutely no shortage of money.
What future does a country that does not even pay attention to scientific research?
"Your name is Misha, isn't it?"
Picking Misha off the stool, Mavi smiled and said, "I remember you, the mathematical genius I met in Tyumen, and your tutor was Professor Bloom..."
After a brief eye contact with Mavi, Misha looked away and let out a sullen 'um-huh'.
At this moment, there was the sound of hurried footsteps in the hallway, and after a while, Christopher rushed in, panting and saying, "Len... London Urgent! There's a demon there!"
Demon?
Ma Wei's eyes flashed, he straightened up, nodded with a smile at Pugachev and the others, and then walked out of the research room, and asked in a deep voice, "What's wrong?"
"News has come from Kovalev that Edward has fought the demons!" Christopher spoke quickly, "The demon's target is not Toure, but—"
"Who is it?"
"It's you! They're going to make a deal with you!"
"Sure enough..."
Taking a deep breath, Ma Wei said in a calm tone:
"I'm waiting for them."
