Chapter 485 Dagger

The first official broadcast of the Lexicon created a wave in the southern quarter—almost overnight, of this incredible, far-seeing, open-to-all, new content Interesting things became the focus of discussion, and in areas beyond the reach of lewd communications, the existence of lewd broadcasts was also known: the rapidly published newspaper devoted an entire page to this chapter. A magic net broadcast, it explained the basic concepts of magic net communication, the basic concept of radio programs, and the general content of the first issue of "Witch's Time". Along with this issue, there is one more thing :

A thin book called The White Knight.

This is a reading of only a few dozen pages, and the paper and binding are cheap and plain, which is completely different from the long, heavy and expensive scholar's books of the old days, but it is still a real book.

This cheap book, which only sells for ten coins, is the first book in the South for the whole people, and its content is also simple and unadorned - it tells the story of the birth of the White Knight in a similar way in the first half, and the second half is The author's reflection on the operation of the Holy Light Church and his perception of the Holy Light, between the lines, a way of Holy Light that is completely different from the preaching of priests in the old days and starts directly from "people" has aroused countless civilian believers. discussion.

Some people are deeply touched, some people are dubious, but there is no doubt that the authority of the Church of the Holy Light is gradually disintegrating among these people.

This is a natural result: although the Church of the Holy Light has a large number of believers, it is impossible for everyone to be a devout follower of the Church. What most ordinary people seek after following the Church is just peace of mind. The understanding itself is very shallow and one-sided, and it is not very firm. Of course, it is quite easy to change.

After all, the new Holy Light doctrine is still "Holy Light", which sounds similar, and as long as it is "similar", most ordinary people will not bother to distinguish carefully: they should focus more on themselves on life.

Of course, there are also staunch church supporters among the common people. Even now, the Government Affairs Office has completely blocked the church's missionary channels, creating a belief vacuum for two months. There will still be people who will insist on the correctness of the old church, which is unavoidable - but they will only be a minority, and it will only be a matter of time that they will be converted over time.

For those Ability God believers who didn’t pay much attention to Holy Light faith, their biggest feeling at the moment was “reassurance”, because someone finally stood up to control the extreme atrocities of Holy Light Church-they didn’t seem to notice the plug The "Faith and Church" section of Searle's Weekly News not only discusses the content of the Holy Light, but the common sense of the major churches is also implanted in it in a subtle way... Or, they have noticed, but for most ordinary people. Humans are far less sensitive in this regard than professional clerics.

In Lord Cecil's mansion, Gawain looked at the report Hetty submitted to him-the sales of the book "White Knight" and the distribution of newspapers in various places were on it.

There is also a random investigation of the magic net program around Cecil City, with a lot of content, but the general direction is basically not beyond his expectations.

"There will be more newspaper review articles and supplements to follow, there will be regular magic web shows, and the warm-up work of the Protestant propaganda has begun. Mr. Godwin Orlando has the article ready, and the article will discuss the 'Whether to establish a new Holy Light order' in the newspapers. In addition, propaganda and guidance personnel in various places have also begun to take action to ensure that there are enough people in those areas with low literacy rates and no magic net signals. discuss this."

Heidi reported the progress of various tasks, and the ancestor in front of her showed a satisfied smile.

"Very good," Gawain nodded and put down the report materials, "We should start this work from the lowest level of the people - those priests have been high above for too long, they didn't even realize that the most common people Talents are the foundation of their church, and once ordinary people lose their trust and reverence for the church, the collapse of the Church of the Holy Light will not require a single shot."

Rebecca, who was standing behind Gawain, listened to the conversation between the two with a cute expression on her face (she came to report the technical information of the Magic Web Broadcasting System), and at this time, she couldn't help but say: "This is really possible. Drive those gods out of Luan Cathedral?"

"What we are doing now is to drive out the influence of those 'magic sticks' from the hearts of civilians in the southern border, but this is a very long-term project," Gawain shook his head, "The hearts of people are easily shaken, but they are not so Quick, Holy Light Church has been active in Ansu for hundreds of years, and its influence is deeply rooted. It will take a long time to completely expel them from people's hearts. Making people question the church is the first step, and building a new church is the second step. , and then it will take us several years, even more than ten years, to replace old doctrines with new doctrines little by little, so that people can recognize this change of customs from the bottom of their hearts. This is not something that can be easily done in a few newspapers and programs ."

"Wow—" Rebecca's eyes widened in surprise, "Does it take so long to change people's minds?"

Hetty glanced at the roe deer: "Nonsense, it took you eight years to change the problem of painting a beard on the teacher's face, not to mention that what we need to change now is the thinking of hundreds of thousands or even millions of people."

Rebecca stuck out her tongue: "Then...what about the priests in Luan City? When will they be kicked out?"

"They will leave before that—I didn't plan to let them stay in the southern border for that long," Gawain said casually, "It will take a long time to remove the influence of the Church of the Holy Light, but those priests are different... To expel them, All it takes is one fury from the people."

Heidi couldn't help frowning: "Can that guy Amber really do it..."

Gawain glanced at Heidi, smiled and shook his head: "Seriously, you underestimated her."

Heidi looked dubious: "Really..."

"Fighting with people, Amber may be afraid to see anyone, but at the bottom of the society, with her own hands to destroy and infiltrate, she has a talent beyond your imagination," Gawain said as he took out a piece of paper from the desk. Stacking the materials, "You should have seen the news from the military intelligence bureau operatives from Lu'an City, so you should also take a look at these things."

Heidi took the materials suspiciously, looking at them with a look of astonishment.

"People who support the cathedral and those who oppose it have begun to confront each other, and there have been rifts in the priesthood. Rumors about the former Bishop Lemont are circulating in the chapel, along with dozens of true and false. There are false rumors and rumors. The cathedral constantly sends monks of discipline and knights of the Holy See to put down those rumors and propaganda materials. If they put out one place, two places will emerge, and even the curfew, rationing, and search they carried out in the process. These actions themselves will immediately become a new source of rumors and a destabilizing factor," Gawain looked at Hetty's expression and said unhurriedly, "Amber and the team she led have always been hidden in the crowd. When any incident occurs, they immediately grab the point that can attract people's attention and debate, and push it a little in the most appropriate position... Then, the opposition and mutual suspicion of the crowd will naturally occur."

Heidi was stunned, while Gawain continued slowly: "During this process, Amber and her team members captured almost all the moments when the clerics showed their ugly faces, and these 'moments' became the ones you and I saw. Pictures and videos, and these pictures and videos, after passing through the hands of Godwin Orlando, will become newspapers and leaflets distributed throughout the country, and in the near future will become the broadcast of the magic net, which will be used in Luan Cathedral. The anger of those priests will spread from inside the city of Luan to the outside of the city, and eventually become one."

Heidi raised her head and looked at Gawain with an unbelievable expression: "These...you taught her?"

"I taught her a part, the most basic part, and then she figured out all the details by herself, and trained her own people to be masters in this area," Gawain said, with a little sigh in his tone, "She It's true... good at using poisoned daggers."

Heidi didn't know what to say for a while, she only knew that for the first time she felt that the half-elf who looked annoying and cowardly on weekdays... was a strong man.

Some even make people shudder.

...

Amber is really good at using poisoned daggers, and she has become more and more sure of this recently.

The destruction of Luan City is still going on, and it is gradually reaching a critical stage.

Opposition and suspicion are spreading from the outer city to the inner city, and the shaking of people’s hearts is no longer limited to the commoners. Now, even the clergy who believe in the God of Light have a serious sense of distrust in the cathedral. .

In the hidden stronghold, members of the action team are reporting the latest situation: "Boss, it has been confirmed that a group of low-level priests have been publicly punished recently, and many people have been locked in the underground of the church area. Penance in the form of penance, more people than last time."

In this regard, Amber just nodded as expected: "The second batch of leaflets sent to the inner city has come into effect."

One of the subordinates couldn't help but sigh: "I can't imagine... After the first batch of flyers was destroyed, there are priests in the small church area who would hide those propaganda materials..."

"Those magic sticks are also human. Since they are human, they have hearts," Amber fiddled with the small dagger in his hand, watching the poisoned blade glow with a slight blue-purple halo under the dim starlight, and said casually, "When the first batch of flyers came into the city, the priests in the peripheral areas might just be curious about it, and a little suspicious of the contents of the flyers, but at that time they were still loyal to the church and the cathedral. ——But the cathedral itself obviously does not think so. The people of the cathedral do not trust those low-ranking priests and priests. They magnify the influence that those leaflets may have had, and directly regard the people of the chapel as 'shakers of faith'. Potential heretics' look... and the situation can only get worse."

"But then again, boss, how did you know how the cathedral would react? How did you know the cathedral must have miscalculated the situation in the chapel?"

Amber glanced at the questioning subordinate: "It's very simple, when the cathedral took action, I went to the chapel area."

"what?"

"The magic circle in the cathedral is a little troublesome, but the chapel can't stop me," Amber said slowly, "I hid a lot of leaflets in the chapels before those discipline monks moved. The long blockade has A lot of high-pressure emotions have accumulated among those priests, and the appearance of leaflets has led to a decrease in their mutual trust. Under such circumstances, a lot of leaflets suddenly appeared. Even the administrator of the small church, the first thought It's not suspicion, but the belief that other people in the church are hiding flyers because they themselves... are actually shaken in their hearts.

"Those discipline monks probably found thousands of flyers from the chapel area... But in fact, the flyers that actually flowed into the inner city were less than one-tenth of that number."

Seeing the expressions of amazement and admiration from his subordinates, Amber just randomly flipped the dagger in his hand: "You gangsters, there is still a lot to learn..."

She raised her wrist, and the poisoned dagger flew out silently in the night, and with a soft sound, the dagger was firmly nailed to a pillar in the room.

"It's almost time to send a message to the headquarters... No matter how slow the people in the cathedral are, they should be aware of our existence at this moment, and we must prepare for the next move."

(Feel the brain shaking!!)
