The warm sunshine shines on the earth, and the square in front of the Money God Cathedral in Rude City shows a lively scene of a large-scale celebration.
"The judges for the first stage are His Excellency Pope Nicholas of the Money God Sect, the famous mathematician Schonand, and the highly respected Sister Eric of our Money God Sect." Lin's slightly hoarse voice echoed through the square, and she smiled.
The people present introduced the judges this time.
The east side of the square in front of the church is divided into a venue for the Money Cult to entertain important guests. Pope Yide of the Ancient Asian Cult and Pope Marty of the Book of Law Church sit in the first row of this area.
Yide glanced at the people in different clothes around him and behind him with his peripheral vision, and he pinched his chin in thought.
As Nina said, the saints of the Money God Sect are indeed somewhat like vases, but every fifteen years, the Money God Sect, which never does loss-making business, has to invest a large amount of money in this seemingly
During the selection of "Vase", Yide had some opinions on the meaning of doing so.
Yide believes that there may be such a meaning in the selection of saints of the Money God Sect. The selection of saints is a special means that has the effect of shocking Xiaoxiao and showing the background of the Money God Sect.
Yide has known for a long time that the Money God Sect has unimaginable connections, but he has never had a clear idea about this. However, after watching the packed VIP area for the Money God Sect’s saint selection today,
Only then did Yide truly understand how terrifying the Money God Sect’s connections were.
No wonder the candidate Joan of Arc committed such a big thing in Thres, but the Money God Cult was able to stuff her back into their own church and calmly face the accountability of a great empire.
On the huge territory of the Divine Grace Continent, there are two empires and five kingdoms, but today's Rude City has two kingdom-level church popes and one kingdom-level church chief bishop. These are three different kingdom churches.
people.
There are only five authentic Kingdom churches in the entire continent. But there are three here! The Gu Ya Cult, the Book of Law Church, and the Harvest and Wisdom Cult. This luxurious facelift alone is enough to make many intelligence spies look blind.
Eye.
Needless to say, there were also the upper echelons of the principality-level church, as well as representatives of numerous small city-level sects, in addition to the various Holy Sees. Also present at the VIP table were the leaders of several large mercenary groups and the presidents of large guilds.
For example, [Red Scorpion] Oakes, the leader of the famous large-scale mercenary group "Red Sand Mark", and [Pursuit] Yaqi, the legendary vice-president of the Bounty Hunter Guild.
"Guns and Roses" leader [Fire Rose] Ms. Helen, "Shocking Bow" leader [Roll Caller] Bazhafi, "Mountain Old Men Group" Elder Blank, Fairy Forest Guild President [Unparalleled Sword Skills] Qiluno, etc.,
The leaders of these prestigious mercenary groups and large guilds gathered in Rude City today. This scene is indeed frightening just by looking at it.
"Your Excellency Yide, are you thinking about something? The competition is about to begin." Ms. Marty, the female pope of the Book of Laws who was sitting on Ide's left hand side, couldn't help but feel a little curious when she saw Yide taking this thinking pose.
Open your mouth and say.
"Well, I'm just feeling a little emotional. The connections of the Money God Sect are really terrifying. I heard that the VIP area here is only a small part of the connections. It's shocking to think about it." Marty called him back to his senses.
Yide, with some sigh, looked at the "young" Pope Nicholas sitting high on the judges' bench in the booth.
Hearing Ide's emotion, Ms. Marty chuckled and nodded. As the pope of a kingdom-level church supported by the Money Cult, Marty has a unique insight into the Money Cult, "This is mainly related to the money religion.
It’s related to the lesson of the God of Money: ‘Don’t fight for hegemony, just make money’. ‘One less opponent, one more collaborator, and a share of the pie. This is something that many people like to hear.”
"It's strange to hold high the banner of money and interests but not have a wide network of contacts. After all, the relationship between any large organization always takes interests as the first consideration. Of course, it is not purely profit-seeking, there is also some love in it.
and justice.”
Regarding Marty's analysis, Ide nodded in agreement.
"Actually, compared to the vast network of people of the Money God Religion, I think the rise of Your Excellency Yide and your Guya God Religion is truly an amazing legend. From ancient times to the present, there has never been a Holy See that can rise from within just a few years.
City jump to upgrade to a kingdom-level church."
Marty chuckled twice. His dark brown eyes looked at Ide. Looking at the real young pope, Marty also had a feeling that he might be dreaming. The young pope Ide is definitely a legend. A legend.
It will be recorded in the annals of history as a legend that will be passed down through the ages.
Listening to Ms. Marty's admiration, Ide scratched his cheek in embarrassment, "It's just luck."
"Many people say that luck is also a kind of strength. Moreover, I heard Nicholas say that the God of Money has been very optimistic about your Guya Cult from the beginning. Even when the God of Money communicated with Nicholas, he once expressed emotion
Maybe I am not as good as Guya God."
Yide nodded his head without any trace. The image of his ancient Asian god's super golden thighs had long been deeply rooted in Yide's heart.
"By the way, Lord Yide. I heard from Nicholas that your Guya Divine Religion will also hold a selection of saints in a while?"
"Well, it's true. In fact, another purpose of coming to watch the ceremony this time is to see if I can learn something." Halfway through the words, Yide sighed helplessly, "However, after watching Money yesterday,
I knew that it would be impossible to visit and study the assessment form for the selection of saints of the divine sect. The selection of saints of the Money God Sect has its own characteristics. And, to be honest, I feel that the selection of saints of the God of Money is so unique to me.
The selection of saints should be much more serious than that of the Money God Sect."
"Haha, what Nicholas did here is really not suitable for other sects to learn from. It's too joyful and joyful." Marty, who has a somewhat bold personality, laughed and patted the table, glancing at the God of Money on the booth not far away.
He taught the candidate saints, "Well, to be precise, there are too many cheerful jokes."
This time, the selection of the Saints of the Money God Church is divided into three stages. In the first stage, counting is king. In this stage, what the candidate Saints have to do is to calculate a ledger as thick as half a Xinhua dictionary.
Make summary statistics and calculate the final accounts of the ledger. At this stage, what is tested is the calculation ability of this group of writing candidates, known as mathematics masters.
Special note: The use of magic calculators is prohibited in the competition. All calculators with a price of more than 10 gold coins are prohibited, and any calculator with a price of less than 10 gold coins is prohibited.
In the Shen'en Continent, where luxury magic technology is highly developed, things like magic calculators have actually existed for a long time. However, generally those who use magic calculators are national-level account inspections. How do you burn money?
Civilian alchemists who adhere to the luxurious style of civilian science have indeed developed the performance of the magic energy calculator to the extreme, but at the same time, this has also caused the magic energy calculator to consume a lot of money.
For this group of crazy money-burning civilian alchemists, probably in their understanding, the effectiveness of a magic computer is directly linked to its energy consumption.
Therefore, in the Divine Grace Continent, even the most common simple magic energy calculator costs at least several hundred gold coins, not counting its subsequent energy consumption. Therefore, the magic energy calculator is definitely not
Things that ordinary businessmen are willing to buy and use.
For this reason, in the Divine Grace Continent, the vast majority of people use mental arithmetic and scratch paper calculations.
However, having said that, Ide actually has to thank the alchemists for their luxury and comparison. Without their vanity and comparison, Ide probably would not have had the opportunity to make mistakes.
The birth of the abacus can indeed set off a wave of reform in the arithmetic world. The simplest and cheapest abacus can even be made with just a piece of wood.
Of course, with regard to the widespread luxury trend in civilian medicine, we can also see from the side the importance and necessity of popularizing "A Letter to Civilian Alchemists" written by the alchemist master of the ancient Asian religion Ashiki Swarovski.
To be continued...)
