Chapter 24: Illuminate! Haunted church, the attention of wizards (2-in-1, please subscribe!! )

In the room where only the moonlight entered, Russell looked at Goncharov and rose to the heart of wooing.

More talent is a good thing, who would think that there are few talents?

If Russell was jealous, he wouldn't be a gospel.

The Goncharov in front of him is definitely a talent, if he can be persuaded to join the Doomsday Party, he can not only plant a nail in the Truth Church, but also improve the strength of the Doomsday Party, which is simply a double win!

Thinking of this, Russell spoke: "Mr. Goncharov, I know what you think, but I want to correct it. ”

"Which point?"

"Are you talking about truth based on human beings? If there were no human beings, would there be any point in your pursuit of truth? ”

"What do you want to say?"

"For the sake of humanity is the premise, right?"

"From my point of view, that's right." Goncharov said.

Russell said with a smile: "But now that mankind is facing a crisis of life and death, the purpose of our Doomsday Party is to save mankind at all costs, Your Excellency's ideals are very ambitious, why shouldn't we?" ”

"I think it is not wrong for Your Excellency to seek the truth, but it should be after there is no existential crisis for mankind, and if humanity is facing an existential crisis, the truth will not matter."

"As propagated in the teachings of the Church of Truth, if a man commits theft by starvation, it is immoral to punish him, and survival is the first truth."

Goncharov said with a blank face: "In order to survive, you can abandon all conscience and morality, is this what you mean?" ”

"That's right!" Russell's eyes lit up with excitement: "You're going to die, what else can't you do!" What conscience, what morality, is just an acquired thought! There is only life and death. It's real! Life is important, and death is just as important! ”

"According to your thoughts, if one day you are caught by the enemy, it is understandable to surrender?"

"Isn't it?"

"Huh"

Goncharov sneered: "You and I will take the same path. ”

Under Russell's blank gaze, Goncharov said in a deep voice: "People are not human because we are born noble, but because we have thoughts and can fight against instincts deep in our genes!" ”

"It is true that you say that morality and conscience are acquired thoughts, but it is precisely because we have morality and conscience that we become human beings! Otherwise, what's the difference with a beast! ”

"I'm human! A person with an independent mind and an independent personality! Even in the moment of life and death, morality and conscience will not be abandoned! That's the bottom line! ”

As if he didn't want to sit at a table with Russell, Goncharov got up and went to the window, turned his back and looked out the window: "Pope Mavi said that human nature is inherently evil because children have not established a sense of morality and conscience, they don't know right or wrong, they only know the fear and survival instinct engraved in their genes!" ”

"With thoughts, we can overcome fear, suppress desires, be sensible, and know good and evil!"

"To be a man, you must melt into your heart, from the inside out, you must not put on the coat of a man, the heart of a man with a human face and a beast's heart!"

Even if Russell has a beautiful appearance and moving eyes, at this moment Goncharov feels that he is ugly.

This ugliness comes from the heart, like the devil putting on human skin and emitting a rotten stench from the pores.

Edward and Rogin may have different bodies from humans, but their hearts are no different from humans, and they are more human-like than Russell, who has human bodies!

The insulted Russell's eyes were cold, knowing that he couldn't win over Goncharov, he was not the same kind of person, he would never be able to walk side by side, even if he was a husband and wife, he would have different dreams in the same bed.

Russell's eyes were full of murderous intent, if he admired Goncharov at the beginning, then at this moment he felt a serious danger!

It was a sixth sense from instinct, and Goncharov gave him a feeling of extreme danger!

This danger does not come from his strength, but from the strength of his heart!

Emptiness has great power and no strong heart, it can only be regarded as a vase, and there is no need to fear.

And a strong heart can mobilize infinite power!

If Goncharov were alone, there would be nothing to worry about, but he would have his back to the Church of Truth!

A huge Holy See built by like-minded people like him!

If you compare Goncharov to a bullet .

The Church of Truth is a gun!

What's more, Goncharov refused the invitation of the Doomsday Party!

In time, Goncharov will surely become a stone to hinder the Doomsday Party!

Thinking of this, Russell's murderous intent became even stronger, anyway, the Doomsday Party and the Church of Truth had already collapsed.

Just as he was about to kill Goncharov, a cloaked shadow flew out of Goncharov's body, blocking Russell's sight full of murderous intent.

The leader of the Chimora tribe - Yaga!

It arrived in Mexico City yesterday to join Goncharov, and it wouldn't have been able to show up if it hadn't sensed Russell's murderous intent.

Goncharov confessed that if the negotiations broke down and Russell wanted to attack him, he hoped that Yaga would intervene in time to stop him, and it was best not to give Russell a chance to make a move to deter him.

The negotiations between the Doomsday Party and the Church of Truth have indeed broken down, but it has not yet reached the point of completely tearing off the skin, it can be seen from Russell's willingness to go to the appointment that the Doomsday Party is still willing to negotiate peace with the Church of Truth, which is good for everyone, the common enemy of the Apocalypse Divine System is coming soon, and now turning the other cheek, isn't it giving the Apocalypse Divine Department a chance?

Goncharov is not afraid of death, he is afraid that his death will cause a war between the Church of Truth and the Doomsday Party, which is very detrimental to the Church of Truth with many enemies, so Yaga needs to come forward in time to calm everyone down and not make too much trouble.

Seeing Yaga, Russell gradually suppressed the killing intent in his heart, his eyes became clear, and a smile appeared on his beautiful face again: "Your Excellency said it very well, he still has many opportunities to communicate in the future, so I will leave today." ”

"If you want to hide, you should stay away and don't get in the way." Goncharov said without looking back.

The killing intent flashed away, Russell took a deep breath, his body turned into yellow sand, and flew out of the window with the breeze, and went away at great speed.

He didn't want to stay for a second.

It's so rude to talk for so long and not even serve a cup of tea!

Shortly after Russell left, Ulmit walked into the room and asked, "Bishop, will the Doomsday agree to our terms?" ”

"Definitely."

The next day, Goncharov was woken up by a commotion from the street, and before he could get up, Adan rushed in with a newspaper: "Bishop! Bishop! Something is wrong! ”

"What's wrong?"

The Aztec Empire also has newspapers, but they use the Nahuat language, which Goncharov, Ulmit and others can't understand, but fortunately, with Adan here, he can translate.

"The prisoner who killed the Imperial Ministers has been found! It's a group of Indians who fled from the north! They have all been put to death! ”

Taking the newspaper, Goncharov's eyes quickly swept over, he has been learning Nahuatl with Adan these days, although he can only understand a few simple words, but he has also made a little progress, not to mention that the newspaper has not only words, but also photos!

The photograph shows the soldiers raised by Montezuma III, their bodies neatly laid out, with only their faces exposed.

There are photos to prove it, and it is not allowed for Goncharov not to believe it, he does not think that Russell will find a group of scapegoats at random, and there are too many key scapegoats, more than a thousand people.

Quite possibly true!

"Looks like you're right, Bishop." Ulmet leaned over and looked at the photo: "I have never heard of so many Indians gathering together in Mexico City, and the only one who can hide them is the royal palace, it seems that this matter is indeed related to Montezuma III!" ”

"This is the Doomsday Party's statement"

Goncharov put away the newspaper: "Russell's meaning is obvious, Montezuma III will not hinder our development in the future, and when the Apocalypse God System arrives, we will have to be on top." ”

Aaron, who heard the rumors, no longer transferred assets, after all, the situation has changed again, as long as Montezuma III does not intervene, the Pluto Chamber of Commerce can continue to operate, the problem is that after the umbrella is removed, a new network of relationships needs to be established, which is somewhat troublesome, but not fatal.

Without Montezuma III's hindrance, Goncharov had to make a big splash, first advertising in the newspapers for hiring construction workers, then putting up small advertisements around the city, and then bribing idle people to spread the word.

Within three days, the news that the Church of Truth was going to build a church in Mexico City spread completely, and Goncharov paid the workers 11 shillings and 6 pence a day, which was converted into the Aztec currency, which was equivalent to 1 Aztec gold and 3 silver.

What is this concept?

Even in London, a salary of 11 shillings and 6 pence a day can only be obtained by a war doctor like Watson, and being a doctor is a typical high-paying profession.

In human terms, if you work for a day at the Church of Truth, you can earn a whole month's income!

Such a high salary is simply a blow to the dimensionality, scaring many people stupidly, but the effect is excellent, more and more workers come to the new church to see the situation, not only blocking the streets, but also forcing the sheriff to come forward to maintain order, taking this opportunity, Adan talked endlessly about the doctrine and core ideas of the Church of Truth to the crowd, Goncharov said a sentence, he translated a sentence.

When he learned that the high salary was real and not fake, the crowd exploded and rushed up to grab the job opportunity, and Adan who was standing on the box was knocked straight down, and if it wasn't for Ulmit pulling him out of the crowd, he would have been trampled into a pulp.

Goncharov ran fast, he had seen similar scenes as early as Tyumen, when Pope Mavi used a trick to work for relief, not only to solve the problem of accommodation for refugees, but also to get food and clothing, such a clever trick, how can you not learn and use it?

Of course, the residents of Mexico City are not refugees, they just live in poverty, they generally do not starve to death, they are not refugees, but they are really poor.

Even in winter, these residents only wrapped a few circles of cloth around their bodies, which was nothing more than two layers more than in summer, but fortunately, the cloth was densely woven and barely kept out of the cold.

There were also people who didn't even have shoes, and stepped barefoot on the cold ground, as if they couldn't feel the cold, and Goncharov observed such a scene for several days in a row, except for helplessness, but still helplessness.

The development of the Aztec Empire is not at all comparable to that of the United States of Citigroup in the north, and the so-called pillar industries are only cheap things such as minerals and crops, which are bought cheaply by the United States of Citi, made into industrial products and then sold back, constantly harvesting wealth, and the trade deficit is terrible.

The United States of Citi is like a giant bloodsucking worm, constantly sucking the wealth and future of the Aztec Empire.

Montezuma III is also vigorously developing industry, but more than ten years ago just experienced a major defeat, the Aztec Empire, which compensated half of the country, has not yet recovered, and the original industrial zone is on the territory that was lost, coupled with the technological blockade of the United States of Citi, in recent years, the industrial level of the Aztec Empire has stagnated, and it can only spend expensive prices to buy industrial machinery.

The increase in the cost of production caused the price of commodities to rise, making it impossible to compete with the cheap industrial products imported by the United States of Citi, and the Aztec Empire's domestic industrial level was simply unsightly, equivalent to the level of the Romanov kingdom twenty years ago.

This is the result of Montezuma III's vigorous industrial reforms.

Seeing this scene with his own eyes, Goncharov understood why Mavi went to London against all odds and went to great lengths to form the Northern Alliance.

Without the industrial technology of the Kingdom of Windsor, how many years would it take for the Kingdom of Romanov to become a world-class industrial power?

Ten years, twenty years?

Maybe forty, fifty years!

Two whole generations of effort!

It is impossible to understand this without personal experience.

It was also from this moment that Goncharov fully understood Mavi's good intentions and understood what it meant to do what Mavi was desperately trying to do.

Fifty years apart, how much sweat, how much effort, how much wealth?

The great stride of the times, it is simply a leap!

When a person's merits cannot be described in words, his figure must be majestic.

In order to expand the influence of the Church of Truth in the Aztec Empire, Goncharov decided to change the workers every day, and the church could be built slowly, for a year, five years, or even ten years!

It doesn't matter if it's torn down and rebuilt.

He doesn't care about speed, as long as more people can appreciate the determination of the Church of Truth.

In the first few days, the Church of Truth became more and more popular, and more and more people talked about it, and every morning before dawn there would be a long queue to sign up for today's work.

The chosen workers also worked hard, and what used to take three days to complete could now be done in one day, and then Goncharov would have Ulmit and others sneak into the church in the middle of the night to restore the wall that had been built during the day.

For several days, the progress of the project did not increase, which confused the workers, and even set off a legend of a haunted church in the city.

There's nothing wrong with being haunted.

It's just that it's the inner ghosts

There are no legends, nothing strange to talk about, the point is.

The rumors of haunting have attracted the attention of wizards.

The sudden arrival of the Church of Truth has long aroused the vigilance of wizards, especially the Church of Truth's reputation is getting higher and higher day by day, and the reputation is scary, and wizards with a sense of crisis have been looking for opportunities.

Right now

Here's your chance.
