"This is some basic information about the Metis Chamber of Commerce."
Manson licked his chapped lips and said.
"Then why do we want to encircle and suppress the Metis Chamber of Commerce? The Metis Chamber of Commerce has indeed allowed Stanburg to develop rapidly in the past few years, and taxes have doubled year after year. Isn't this ruining our own jobs?" Asher, who had just joined the mysterious defense agency, was a little confused.
asked.
Manson chuckled: "Why? Of course it's because the Metis Chamber of Commerce has touched the bottom line of those nobles."
"Bottom line?!"
As a member of the mysterious defense agency, Manson didn't have many taboos: "Rookie, do you know how many believers the evil god they believe in has gained in just three years?"
"The report said it was at least half a million." Asher quickly answered with his amazing memory.
"Yeah, at least half a million, and they're all idiots." Manson said with something strange in his eyes.
"So what's the matter? Isn't it very common for those stupid people to believe in evil gods?" Aishe said inexplicably.
"Then you didn't read the report carefully. The Church of Humanity actually spreads common sense and teaches knowledge to every believer who joins. Do you know how many people there are in all the universities in Neo-Ottoman plus technical schools?"
Asher shook his head.
"Three hundred thousand," Manson said, holding up three fingers.
"So what? Isn't this great? There are half a million more literate people in the empire."
Asher still doesn't understand.
Manson sighed: "You are so young. There are half a million more literate people. Even if these people can only compare with those skilled citizens, this kind of impact will have a real impact on the empire. Think about it.
, what will happen if so many people begin to occupy important positions at the middle and lower levels of the empire? Those people are all believers of the Humanitarian Church."
Aishe's expression changed slightly. Manson's words suddenly opened a door for the new Aishe.
"Then don't give it to these people..."
Manson interrupted Asher directly and coldly: "The empire has its rules, and your remarks directly break the rules. This is the foundation of the empire. Even the nobles and the orthodox churches will uphold it. And, as you said,
Do what you say, do you know how big of a riot it will cause?"
Aishe's face was shocked.
"But these are not the reasons why the empire is so aggressive. The real reason is the right to education."
Manson revealed the answer.
"Right to education?!" Asher wondered.
"Yes, it is the right to education, or to be more precise, the right to acquire knowledge. Although the education department of the empire seems to have no sense of existence, this department is one of the departments that the royal family and parliament are most concerned about. The entire upper class of nobles has a monopoly on knowledge.
, is to monopolize the source of their power to suppress the bottom. You are an extraordinary person, and you should know very well what knowledge means to an extraordinary person."
Manson said coldly.
Aishe opened his mouth wide. As a lucky person who slowly climbed up from the bottom, he was very aware of the difficulties faced by the people at the bottom to obtain knowledge. But now, as a vested interest, he felt mixed emotions in his heart.
"The wisdom of the Church of Humanity is really powerful. It is said that all the wisdom pastors, when imparting knowledge, can make the believers who listen to the lectures wisdom, and the speed of absorbing knowledge is ten times that of ordinary people."
Asher: “Why would the Humanitarian Church do this?”
"Why do you do this?" Manson shrugged: "Who knows, maybe it's because their followers increased much faster than other churches. Hey, I've never heard of any church that does this.
To teach knowledge to ordinary believers.”
Aishe felt inexplicably uncomfortable. As a former member of the lower class, he really hoped for more churches like this. But the reality is that even those Orthodox churches recognized by the empire are only excessive in their treatment of ordinary believers.
They are required to be pious, pious, and pious.
What is absurd is that now he wants to join the campaign to suppress the Humanitarian Church.
Could Asher object?
cannot.
"But why did the nobles and the church seem to think of it only when the Humanitarian Church had grown to such a large scale?"
Aishe was a little confused.
"Good question," Manson nodded and said: "Of course I didn't pay enough attention at the beginning. You also know how many of the large and small evil churches spawned in the empire within a year died on their own, and how many of them died out on their own.
How many great things can be done."
"What happened next? The agency will definitely notice it."
Asher knows this very well. As long as there is a certain evil church rising, the intelligence department of the agency will send personnel to investigate.
"It's still the same wisdom. I heard that the Intelligence Department lost dozens of people at the beginning, and they didn't find out the specific situation inside the Human Resources Department." Manson shook his head repeatedly and said: "Later, it cost a lot of money.
The priest who knows the Wisdom has a very abnormal magic, the Eye of Wisdom."
"Eye of Wisdom?!"
"You can identify everything, including people, just by seeing it."
"This, it's not that scary, isn't it? The spies from the Intelligence Department who sneaked in were discovered as soon as they entered."
"Not only that, the beauty snake of Wan Shen, the masquerade cultist, and the secret shadow have been uncovered a lot in the past year."
Manson gloated a little.
Ai She opened her mouth, and a trace of pleasure suddenly rose in her heart.
"Has Humanity actually attracted the attention of a large church like Wanshe?"
Ashe said a little surprised.
"Actually, it was the Ministry of Intelligence that found traces of Wan She's activities in the Human Society, and that's when they noticed the Human Society Church."
"The Church of Humanity has always been very mysterious in the eyes of outsiders. Until now, we only know part of its interior. But just the exposed part makes those nobles unable to sleep."
"Okay, no more talking, the signal is coming."
While they were talking, a firework exploded in the sky above the place where the two men were lying in ambush.
"Action." Manson drew out his precious pistol and rushed into the night before Asher could follow him.
Asher followed immediately. After rigorous training, Asher's footsteps were very light. He could even imagine that there must be many people like him around this seemingly human-like chamber of commerce building.
Surround, approach the building.
Breaking into the Chamber of Commerce building went smoothly, or surprisingly smoothly. Soon, the two of them climbed to the second floor window and entered the building.
But the experienced Manson noticed something was wrong because the building was too quiet. As the headquarters of the Humanitarian Church in Stamburg, this situation should not happen.
Soon, news from all directions confirmed Manson's thoughts. The building was empty, all useful information had been burned, and there was nothing left for them.
