Although Leo was a little curious about what the goods Jason was talking about were, he did not go to the dock with Jason immediately. Instead, he stayed in the village and continued to participate in the festival celebrations held in the village.
When participating in the celebration, his spiritual net also enveloped the village, sensing the movements and situations of everyone in the village. This is a daily practice of the spiritual net. When the spiritual level has not been improved, he can use this
A kind of practice method to improve the control of the mental network.
Among the people participating in the festival celebration, Leo discovered many people with the blood of the Familia clan, and judging from various circumstances, these people had begun to show signs of their blood awakening.
Although in terms of quantity, the number of these Familia and the depth of their bloodline stimulation are far from being comparable to that of Vinaya Port, the phenomenon of the awakening of the Familia's bloodlines echoes that of Vinaya Port and seems to be foreshadowing the world of Velen
Something is changing, and some lost gods may be returning.
However, judging from the internal reaction of the Kingdom of England, it seems that they have anticipated this situation. They even established an organization like the Special Bureau a long time ago to deal with paranormal phenomena. Other countries may have similar organizations. The only
What makes people confused is the situation of the Orthodox Church, because from the various information received so far, it can be seen that the power of the Orthodox Church and the power of each church are shrinking, which seems to be somewhat contrary to the return of the gods.
Nothing else happened in the night that followed. The members of the Special Bureau also left after patrolling several times. Jason also left with him, but before leaving, he made an appointment with Leo to check the cargo in the cargo hold.
.
When morning came, people participating in the festival gathered their energy and came to the lakeside to perform the final festival ceremony. When the first person threw his wish into the water, Leo felt a wave of energy coming from the lake.
There were weak abnormal fluctuations, and the imprint of the lady in the lake also had a faint resonance.
"Look! Look!" Suddenly there was a wave of noise in the crowd, and someone pointed at the mist floating on the lake and shouted.
Everyone looked in the direction of the man's finger, and saw that the originally shapeless mist on the water gradually accumulated under the control of an invisible force, forming several human shapes, and finally condensed.
In a way that anyone can see clearly.
In addition to the image of the Lady in the Lake, there is also a knight in armor and several gorgeously dressed women beside her. Needless to say, the knight corresponds to the Knight of Lannisno, and several women are also related to the Lady in the Lake.
Several legendary women.
Many devout female believers immediately knelt down by the lake and recited words of praise for the ladies. Those believers who were not ladies also lowered their heads respectfully. Only Leo remained upright by the lake, looking up with his head raised.
That mist illusion.
The mist illusion seemed to be alive. He turned to look at Leo and showed a smile, not blaming Leo for his rudeness at all.
At this time, a ray of sunlight shines on the lake through the top of the tree, shining on the illusion of fog. The light seems to have changed in the fog, from red to gold, and blooms around, turning the illusion into a
It was truly like a god, full of endless majesty, which made everyone who saw this scene feel deeply shocked. The original believers of the lady became more pious, and people who were not believers of the lady also had feelings for the lady.
With a strong heart of faith, it is only a matter of time before you become a believer.
Soon the fog that caused the strange phenomenon dissipated in the sunshine. The people around him were still immersed in the scene. Leo left the lakeside in advance before everyone woke up, returned to the square, and boarded the waiting room.
Carriage, drive towards the city.
Sitting in the carriage, Leo recalled the scene he had just seen, and he always felt that this incident might be related to the information he revealed to the lady in the lake last night.
Prior to this, there had been no manifestation of gods in the world of Velen for a long time. Even if there had been, it was only a vague revelation, and it was only aimed at the priests, priests and other clergy of their respective churches, such as the Lord of the Sky, the Mountain
King Qiu, etc., but the form of a god is displayed in an extremely concrete manner in front of believers and non-believers like this. This kind of thing can only be seen in very ancient myths and legends.
But now, as one of the few remaining gods in the world of Velen that can continue to appear, the Lady in the Lake has changed from her normal state, appearing in a high-profile manner and performing miracles. This abnormality may be a sign of some kind, a sign of a change in the world.
Just as the carriage entered the city, Leo found that the pedestrians on the road were very excited, and many people stopped what they were doing to discuss something.
"It's impossible that what happened in the lake reached the city so quickly, right?" Leo had doubts in his heart, and listened to the surrounding discussions through his extraordinary hearing. After hearing the news, his expression became even more serious.
Get serious.
Leo originally thought that the Lady in the Lake's appearance only happened at the lakeside just now, and was just an isolated case. But the news he just heard was that the Lady in the Lake was still in the lake in the Garden District, the artificial lake in the city, etc.
Appearance, according to this situation, I am afraid that the lady in the lake will appear in all the lakes in the Kingdom of Inge. Such a large-scale manifestation is no longer just a recruitment, but a big move.
"I'm afraid the Lady of the Lake's Church should also take some action." Leo quickly thought of the Lady of the Lake's Church, one of the two major churches in the Kingdom of England.
Although the state religion of the Kingdom of England is the Church of Poseidon, the Church of the Lady of the Lake has the largest number of believers. And because of the royal family, most nobles are not very interested in Poseidon belief, and are more willing to become believers of the Lady of the Lake.
Therefore, through the continuous accumulation of believers over the years, Lady of the Lake has become a veritable state religion in the Kingdom of England.
However, because of the teachings of Lady Huzhong, the Lady Church of Huzhong in the Kingdom of Yingge did not deliberately develop the power of the church. This resulted in the government of the Kingdom of Yingge not suppressing the Church in Huzhong too much.
But now that the appearance of Lady Huzhong has happened, Lady Huzhong Church will inevitably receive some oracles, and the church will definitely develop greatly. At that time, how will the Royal Government deal with the Lady Church of Huzhong that has changed its attitude towards the world?
These problems will also arise. I am afraid these problems will cause headaches for the members of the Royal Parliament!
Leo returned to the apartment and ordered the housekeeper to buy all the morning newspapers available on the market.
However, the housekeeper soon came back from outside because he learned that all morning newspapers were postponed today and would not be published until noon.
Leo thought for a while and asked the butler to wait until noon to buy the newspaper, and asked him to inquire about the appearance of the Lady in the Lake, such as whether similar things happened in other cities.
After giving the instructions, he went into the study room, reading quietly while waiting for news from the housekeeper.
At noon, the housekeeper put all the newspapers and the collected news together and sent them to Leo.
Although the butler tried his best to conceal his emotions and make himself look stable, the look in his eyes still showed shock. Obviously, the news of the appearance of Lady in the Lake was unbelievable to him, even if he was not in the Lake.
Lady devotee.
Leo picked up the newspapers and materials, told the housekeeper to go down, and then looked at the newspapers and materials in his hands carefully in the study.
Just as he had predicted in advance, on all the lakes where festival ceremonies were held in the entire Yingge Kingdom, the ladies in the lake used the mist to appear to the world and show their power. For a time, the reputation of the ladies in the lake was unparalleled in the Yingge Kingdom, even in Yingge.
The Georgian royal family also publicly expressed praise for the lady in the lake.
In addition, the Lady of the Lake Church also publicly stated that church believers are allowed to enter the church temple during each prayer ceremony and participate in prayers under the leadership of priests.
This incident is obviously more unusual, because the last time the Lady of the Lake Church allowed believers to participate in temple prayer was more than two hundred years ago. After that, the church closed the temple, and ordinary people were not allowed unless they were monks.
Enter the church temple and participate in any religious activities within the church.
The news released by the Huzhong Lady Church is undoubtedly telling the world that the missionary activities of the Huzhong Lady Church have been reopened and that the church, which has been away from the world for more than two hundred years, has re-entered secular affairs. This is a good thing for the believers of the church, but for the
This is not good news for those in power.
It is conceivable that there will be some power struggles between the church and the kingdom in the coming period until both sides find a mutually satisfactory middle point.
Just after Leo read all the newspapers and information, there was suddenly a loud noise outside the window. He walked to the window and took a look, and found that a group of poor people who should be from the slums were carrying
The statue of the Lady in the Lake was paraded through the streets, and people kept joining the procession, singing and dancing, as if celebrating the return of the Lady.
However, judging from the direction of these people's march, they should be preparing to go to the municipal building. If nothing else happens, they will walk around outside the municipal building and then go to the business district and municipal government building where the church temple is located.
District junction.
"Is this a demonstration? Or is it venting dissatisfaction?" Leo said to himself as he watched these people walking through the street and more and more people joining the crowd.
I have to say that the timing of Ms. Huzhong’s appearance was really coincidental, as it happened to be when Congress announced a new tax plan.
Although this tax plan looks like it will cut a lot of taxes, it actually only distributes the cuts to ordinary civilians and some small traders. For the rich, the taxes they need to pay have actually been reduced.
.
After the tax plan was announced, it immediately encountered opposition from all walks of life, but in the end the plan was still forced to vote in Congress. A large number of members of the common people left the table during the vote in order to express their opposition, hoping to block the passage of the proposal, but in the end it was because the nobles
A group of congressmen, who accounted for an overwhelming majority in Congress, passed the proposal and legalized the tax plan.
This incident caused an uproar within the entire Kingdom of England, but because some arrangements within the kingdom's government were very appropriate, the actions of some civilian leaders were predicted in advance, and these civilian leaders were sent to prison for various reasons, thus causing various
Without a leader, civilian organizations are unable to carry out some activities, so the negative impact of this tax plan has always been suppressed to a very small scope.
The reason why Leo knows these things is because Jason, as the president of the Porters Union, is also considered one of the civilian leaders. However, he is a somewhat special civilian leader. He is also a member of the Special Bureau and a member of the freight terminal.
The person in charge had a good relationship with the famous Matthews and his wife, so the municipal authorities only talked to Jason and did not arrest him directly.
Afterwards, Jason was very dissatisfied with the actions of the city government, because some of the civilian leaders who were arrested were his friends, but he could not do anything but ask the prison guards who detained these friends to take care of them.
, and came to Leo and asked Leo if he could help his friends.
Leo just told Jason that he wanted his friends to come out as soon as possible. There was only one way, and that was to appease the subordinates of those friends and let them work and live in an orderly manner. As long as the authorities believed that these people were not
There will be trouble over the tax plan, and soon his friends will come out.
However, now it seems that Jason obviously did not do a good job, or simply did not follow Leo's instructions. He can think of when these low-level people held high the statue of the Lady of the Lake and paraded outside the municipal building, the municipal building
What would the gentlemen inside think? There is no doubt that Jason’s friends may never come out.
Leo doesn't care about the life and death of Jason's civilian friends, he only cares about the church's follow-up actions. There is no doubt that these low-level people are natural believers of the Lady of the Lake, and their beliefs are very deep. With a little guidance, these ordinary believers can be
Become a fanatical believer.
But if the church wants to recruit lower-level believers by taking advantage of believers' dissatisfaction with the parliamentary government of the Kingdom of England, it won't be long before Lady in the Lake's church will be on the opposite side of the powerful elites of the Kingdom of England, and it is more likely to trigger a British war in the end.
The war within the Kingdom of Georgia may even lead to the division of the French Empire.
Thinking of this, Leo couldn't help but frowned. He had become accustomed to the peaceful life now and didn't like the situation to be turbulent. However, neither the royal government nor the church could have any influence on him. He could only
When a bystander quietly waits for the results.
After pondering for a while in the study, thinking about how he should handle himself in various situations, Leo looked at the time and found that the time he and Jason had agreed upon was almost here, so he picked up his coat, went downstairs, and headed towards
The housekeeper, who was instructing the servants to clean up the debris in the garden, said: "Jason and I have something to deal with today. We are having dinner outside. If you have anything, come to Jason's tavern in the dock area to find me!"
