Chapter 291: Faithfulness

Strait of Helga.

Martin Luther looked across the Channel, which was supposed to be the front line of the Holy See's defense, but the relationship between the Holy See and the Council has eased over the yearsβ€”although there is some friction, it does not have much impact on the general direction. Although it was nominally the front line, it became more and more prosperous because of the sea trade, and even the sea trade federation on the other side of the strait had a large number of believers because of the frequent trade with the Holy See.

The council also knew about the situation here, but did not stop it much, but only limited the influence of the Holy See only on the shores of the strait. Of course, this is also because the Holy See is measured and more restrained.

The Strait of Helga was the nominal line of defense, and the Holy See built an important city on this side of the strait, the city of Helm, where Martin Luther was archbishop.

"Did you see the stars that night? Martin Luther looked at the Strait and suddenly spoke.

One of the monks standing next to him said, "Yes, I heard that the council launched Sputnik into the sky, which has been destroyed by Imam Sanders." ”

Although the Holy See blocked this matter, it was not a secret matter for the top of the Holy See. They even sensed the divine fluctuations of the Great Prophecy.

The monk continued: "I can't imagine that the council can even create stars. ”

Martin Luther said, "John, don't be too surprised, I've studied their moons, and they're not very big, no more than a thousand pounds at most. It is not difficult to teleport directly into space through the teleportation circle, and when the time comes, you only need to push it to reach a predetermined speed to be able to orbit Gaia. In fact, their teleportation circle is more noteworthy, in order to send the satellite into a precise orbit, their one-way teleportation circle is unlikely to deviate too much. And if you can accurately teleport to outer space, you can also teleport to the hinterland of the Holy See. ”

The man known as John was a little surprised: "You still study this?"

Although the Holy See also began to study magic, paying attention to the latest magical theories and improving magic according to these theories, most of the priests were not very proficient, and many were ignorant of it.

"Isaac has been proposing this theory for hundreds of years, and it is not difficult to understand. It's just that the parliament has been able to launch satellites into the sky on the basis of their old theories, and the Holy See has not changed much over the years. ”

Martin's voice sounded a little muffled, and John turned his head to see that Martin was still looking up at the sky: "Haven't you given up your theory? ”

The Hyjal Strait, the border of the Holy See, and the thriving trade, were not a chore to be sent here, but it was a place far from the center of the Holy See, which was a bit unsatisfactory for a saint like Martin Luther.

"John, there is nothing wrong with me coming here, the city of Helm is prosperous and far from the center of the Holy See, business is developed, and people are more open-minded, which is more suitable for my theoretical development. ”

The influences are mutual, the Holy Alliance has people who believe in the church, and the pastors of the church are not immune to the influence of many of the teachings of the mage, and are more open to religion, and can even be said to be less religious.

"The Holy See has the right to interpret the holy scriptures, and all oracles can only be interpreted by the patriarch, which is not God's original intention, the holy scriptures are God's will, as long as they are pious, anyone can interpret the holy scriptures. Moreover, only the holy scriptures are God's will, neither the patriarchs nor the presbyterians. Now the gods are no longer able to send down miracles, nor can they communicate with the lower realm, and there are no oracles for a long time.

"'Justification by faith,' salvation by faith, and everyone can communicate directly with God through the Holy Scriptures, without the need for the Church. ”

John Simmons was not too surprised by Martin Luther's words, as Martin's friend and colleague had known these theories for a long time, and had seen them slowly perfected.

John said: "So, you directly think that the church is not necessary, and it is no wonder that the Holy See will transfer you from the center. I must say that without the Church, we would not have been able to resist the Supreme Council. ”

Martin Luther nodded slowly: "Yes, but the development of the Holy See is too slow, almost lagging behind the Council, so it cannot be developed." We must untie the shackles that bind us, the Council has dropped satellites into space, and some of our clergy still insist that the main star beneath our feet is the center, and the sun revolves around us. Faith is not blind obedience, and all beliefs must rely on the soil of reality in order to grow. ”

Especially in this age when the gods are not visible, Martin Luther added in his heart.

Jiayi's laboratory.

Jancy and Fresenden came together, their electromagnetic communication skills had been preliminarily perfected, and they were now preparing to start laying out the communication network, but they were not here for this purpose.

"So you're here because someone bought a machine from you, and you can't make up your mind?" asked Kaichi.

The two glanced at each other, and nodded at the same time: "Yes, now the cost of the United Chamber of Commerce has dropped significantly because of the advantages of machine tools, if it weren't for the fact that most of our current products are new products invented by ourselves, Moshacher's Chamber of Commerce will almost be swept by us except for those who are in the material business." If we provide machine tools to other chambers of commerce, wouldn't we be cultivating competitors for ourselves?"

If it weren't for the restrictions of the Supreme Council, the business of the United Chamber of Commerce would certainly not be limited to the current products, at least for the textile industry, their machine tools are a big killer. However, the United Chamber of Commerce is now more of a magic item business, although this area is profitable, but because of the small audience, it was not too prosperous, and the market is not large. Only the household appliances they are promoting now are the most profitable because they are cheap enough and are daily necessities.

When it comes to home magic items, they don't even have a competitor right now.

After thinking about it for a while, Jia Yi said: "Actually, it's not that it can't be sold, now the convenience of the magic machine tool can be seen by anyone, if it weren't for the Supreme Council to separate the patents in the paper and formulate a stricter protection bill, our machine tool should have spread a long time ago." But sooner or later, other chambers of commerce will also develop their own machine tools, we might as well do the machine tool business, earn more profits, but also suppress the research of other chambers of commerce corresponding to machine tools. Who can buy it, and who wants to spend a lot of money on research? I just don't know who is so far-sighted, and what price is willing to pay. ”

Jia Yi still didn't say a point, but everyone understood that most of the major chambers of commerce in Mosacher had a lot of backgrounds, and if they wanted to gain a firm foothold, they would at least have the support of purple-robed mages behind them, and there were not one or two legendary mages behind them like the Skoll Chamber of Commerce. This is a magical world, and it is impossible to rely solely on business without mixing other factors.

"It is said to be a member of your Silver Sword Empire's Iris family, a middle-aged fat man, maybe you still know him. Yancy said with a smile.

In fact, they don't care much about the diffusion of machine tools, and the reason why they study machine tools and life magic props is more for interest than just to make money. Maybe the United Chamber of Commerce will have some opinions, but they can't fully oppose it, the machine tool belongs to the studio of the three of them, and does not belong to the United Chamber of Commerce.

"The Iris Family?" Kaichi sounded familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had heard of it, "I don't have any impressions, you know, I don't have much interest in aristocratic images." ”

But he was even more satisfied when he heard that it was the Silver Sword Empire, not because it was from his own country, but because the Silver Sword Empire was far away from Moshacher, and there would be no business conflicts with the United Chamber of Commerce. Although it is okay to ignore the joint chamber of commerce, as a partner, you should still consider the ideas of the other party.
