Chapter 49 Temptation
Although this was just Alvin's idea, it really scared Kui Qing.
After a thousand years, I have never heard of the idea of replacing Luni with paper currency. This may be the most crazy delusion ever. The unencumbered ambition is like a prairie fire, wanting to encroach on the empires of the world. No matter how slight the initial point is, once this bud is planted, it will open up another world.
In fact, this is not just a matter of ambition, but imagination.
The same thing is true, the changes to this world always come from imaginative people.
Too many people have been mediocre and have no changes to the world. There are always lucky people who have captured the flash of inspiration belonging to the gods. Maybe this is the injustice of fate.
"Brother, your idea is too crazy, I have to digest it." Although Kui Qing said that, the fanaticism unique to a businessman in her eyes had been ignited. She realized that there was a huge business opportunity hidden here.
"Well, how to implement it, you really need to plan carefully." Alvin pondered, "But, little sister, you are better at this than me."
"Also, after you return to Lom Town, let Xia Yelangyun and others come to me. I am now living in Feilu Street." Alvin said and reported his current address to Kuiqing.
"I'm leaving now? I've just talked for a while." Seeing that Alvin's mind was no longer on the conversation, the little girl pouted in dissatisfaction.
"Be good, I have to go to Ria." Since Kyu-ling just revealed Ria's identity, Alvin began to think about another thing in his mind.
"Okay." Aoi sighed.
Then the two came out of the painting material store and went out separately.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Alvin went straight to Saint Fei Cathedral and happened to meet Ji'ao in the corridor. Alvin grabbed him.
"Where is Elder Ria? I'm in a hurry to see him."
"Um..." Ji Ao staggered and almost got dragged down by Alvin, "You, come with me."
Then Little Freckles led Alvin to Ria's room.
Ria was originally flipping through a classic book in front of her desk, but when she saw Alvin coming, she was quite surprised.
"His Excellency Elvin, why are you here?"
As soon as Alvin stepped into this room, he looked at the furnishings inside and couldn't help but sigh: "Wow, you're so exquisite. How did you squeeze these bookcases together in such a small room? I want to ask about these furniture, don't they feel so suffocated?"
"Hey, your lord is joking again," Ria said with a smile. "There are so many clergy in our universal religions, all of which are the bishops of the diocese or the young missionaries."
Alvin nodded, found a stack of classics stacked in the corner, and sat on it. Originally, Ria wanted to give up his chair, but Alvin saw this and quickly said, "Sit, sit, I will sit."
In fact, Ria felt sorry for the classics he had compiled, for fear that Alvin would be ruined.
Ji Ao, who was beside him, wanted to stop Alvin, but our great painter sat down too quickly and had already sat on it before Ji Ao's "ah" sound.
Seeing the two of them feeling distressed, Alvin curiously pulled out a book from under his butt to look through, "What is this?"
"Huh? Isn't this the leopard man I saw in that mountain range?
?” He looked at a sketch on a page in the book and said in surprise, “They are called Pingshan Leopards?”
Then he quickly looked through the entire book and looked at Ria with disbelief, "Where did this book come from? How could there be records of all kinds of monsters in the mountains?"
"This is the teacher's efforts over the years." Ji Ao answered with some pride.
"Wow! This is amazing." Alvin said as he roughly read the book again, looking at the detailed explanation of the type of monsters, and his history, language, preferences, and habits were roughly introduced. So he sighed again: "This is simply a 'monster'!"
"The introduction above is much more detailed than that in Onian's Potion Book." Alvin thought.
"Mr. Alvin, it's not just a book, all these are sitting under you." Ji Ao said and pointed to the stack of classics under Alvin's butt.
Alvin was so scared that he quickly stood up, patted the cover of the classic book under him that he had been intimately in contact with his buttocks, and said "sorry" a few times.
This made Ria, who was standing beside her, laughed.
Alvin really couldn't put down these classics introducing monsters, and the "wave" sound on the pages never stopped, "Look, there are also various monster languages here, this... How did you know about elder Ria? Could it be that you have learned the languages of these monsters?"
Alvin raised his face and looked at Ria, "Then I really want to ask, where did you learn it?"
"I have been wandering around the mountains for most of my life. I have to understand the language of these monsters, right?" Ria said with a smile.
Alvin nodded, thinking no wonder he met him in the town of Bellama. It seems that this guy is not just as simple as going there to preach, he must have been in and out of the mountains often.
"But the Natrad Mountains are not something that ordinary people can enter. Could it be that there is a great magician level strength here, or a martial arts powerhouse? But it doesn't look like it no matter how you look at it." Alvin said in confusion.
"I went with the hunters who went into the mountains to hunt monsters." Ria saw what Alvin was thinking and explained with a smile.
"No wonder." Alvin thought.
"Your Excellency, you are here excitedly. Could it be...you are...who read these books specifically?" Ria asked with his eyes raised, interrupting Alvin's thoughts. Then the elder winked at his student.
Ji Ao tactfully retreated from the room, and he knew that the teacher had something to talk about with Alvin.
"I know your identity." Alvin said bluntly after coming to his senses.
Ria did not show any surprises, and her face was calm and she looked like water. After a smile, she said, "If you know, you will know, it's not a shameful identity."
In Riya's opinion, it is not surprising that characters like Alvin found out about their background from some unknown sources. He didn't really believe that Alvin could only draw a painting as simple as that.
Alvin nodded, "So I'll come to you."
"I think this matter should be more important than chasing some painting rewards, right?" Riya actually started to make a joke at this time.
This surprised Alvin.
It seems that Ria was quite hesitant at this time, knowing that Elvin's matter was probably not that easy to deal with.
"I want to organize the church army for the universal church." Alvin said lightly, finally illuminating the purpose of this trip. Moreover, the word "replace" is used quite wonderfully.
Ria frowned and then laughed in silence.
"But, for so many years, there has been no church army.
.” Ria looked at Elvin and said, “We are different from the Holy World Church after all. They need to participate in the power struggle, so they need the church army.”
"But our universal religions are mainly civilians, and you should know that these people cannot participate in the power struggle." Ria continued.
"I only found that the aristocratic forces here are already declining. To be precise, they are declining. On the contrary, those rich chambers of commerce, holding gold and silver, will definitely make a difference in the future." Alvin no longer minded telling Ria that he was from the south.
"I think this is why Mr. Rusty has had a good relationship with you, isn't it?" Alvin said, looking at Ria with his eyebrows raised.
"We are really just general friends, and there is no closeness." Ria said calmly.
"But, this doesn't prevent them from getting close to you." Alvin thought to himself that Phelody must have known Ria's identity.
"What the hell do you want to say?" Ria said with a wink.
"I want to say, did that Rusty have also talked to you about cooperation?" Alvin glanced at Ria meaningfully.
After pondering, Riya nodded, "It has indeed been mentioned. Naturally, they would not go to the Holy World Cult. The Xindu Cult is full of artful and elegant people, so they can't become a climate, so they can only come to us."
"It seems that the 'old wine barrel' in Tyriar City is indeed a bit capable. He also sees that if you want to accomplish something in the north, you still need the support of the church." Alvin said, "Of course, the church I am talking about cannot be a pedantic and conservative church like the Holy World Church."
"Then how did you reply to them?" Alvin asked curiously at Elder Ria.
"I didn't promise them." Ria said to look at Alvin, "but she didn't refuse."
This is very interesting.
“Why?”
"They want too much," said Ria. "It is important to know that universal religion is not the kind of church that will be fooled by Looney and will be at their mercy. They will never understand that religion is used to cleanse people's hearts, not a tool for them to fight."
"But you didn't reject them either."
"Everyone and Holy World Church have been fighting for so many years and have been suppressed. Do you know why?" Riya did not answer directly, but asked Alvin a question.
"Because... in most people's eyes, the Holy World Church is always orthodox?" Elvin replied after thinking for a while, "Of course, most of the people I mean refer to those who are worthy of power."
Ria nodded, "So, if the Universal Church wants to grow stronger in my generation, and to completely cover up the decaying Holy World Church, we have to think of some other ways."
"But those people in Tyriel always feel that our universal religion is lacking Luni." Ria said, a trace of contempt flashed across the corner of her mouth.
"Actually, if you have to destroy a rotten Ke that has been rotten for many years, you will still be able to come with a swing of an axe. What do you think?" Alvin curled his lips and smiled. He now understood why Elder Ria had always been far and close to the Philodie family, and the merchants of feelings never grasped the key point.
Although Loonie is justice, even if the Loonie is injected into the universal religion at present, it will only expand the number of some religious people, which will essentially not change anything. If the universal religion really wants to shake the status of the Holy World Church, it will have to launch a religious war.
And to win a unique religious war, it is not enough to have Looney alone.
