Chapter 1000 Holy Word Book

"Three hundred and forty-six sages?" After reading the contents of the book, Leo quickly recalled the relevant information in his mind.

In the entire tomb of the Sea God Church, there is only one book that records the number 346, and that is the book of the holy words of Tatofulan.

The person who wrote this book was the most famous saint of the Sea God Church, and also the most famous person in the history of the world's navigation in Vinlen. He was called the Hong Kong Builder by the world.

He was born in the early days of the great voyage. He was an ordinary seaman in Randall. He served in the French Navy when he was young. Looting everywhere, from an ordinary pirate sailor to a pirate captain.

At that time, all kinds of legends emerged on the sea, and Tatoforan's reputation was nothing compared to these legends. His popularity was entirely due to his luck.

Compared with other pirates, Tatoforan can always encounter some valuable merchant ships that are not stronger than himself, so his pirate ships can always benefit greatly with minimal casualties. Therefore, some people speculate that Tatoforan may have accumulated a large amount of wealth on hand.

Just when everyone started to focus on Tato Foran's wealth, Tato Foran made a very amazing move. He donated all the wealth he got from the robbery to the Sea God Church, and he also He was baptized by the church and became a priest.

Tato Forlan, who lost his wealth, also lost the value of being noticed. In the following years, he carried out some necessary clergy training in the church. Just when everyone thought he would become a clergyman in a branch church of the Sea God Church At that time, he drove his pirate ship out to sea and completed a voyage around the world, becoming the seventh person to complete this feat.

Moreover, he has traveled the most miles around the world, because he sailed close to the edges of the three continents, that is to say, he has been to all the coastlines of the three continents that humans can reach.

After he returned to Randall after completing his voyage around the world, he spent a lot of money to publish the same article in the newspapers with the largest circulation in each continent, such as the French daily. This article took up six pages and wrote in detail Counting the coastal areas suitable for building ports on the coastlines of various continents in Velen, there are more than 400 places.

At the beginning, some people thought that Tatoforan’s move was nothing more than sensationalism, but no one would believe it until a very good geologist read this article and found that a location marked in it was not far from his exploration location , so I went to check it out and found that the condition of the bay was really suitable for the construction of a harbor wharf as written in the article.

So, he published this discovery in the internal journal of his own society, and soon other scholars looked for other places recorded in the article based on his discovery, and the result was the same.

As a result, the governments of the three continents immediately paid attention to this article, and built ports one after another according to the locations recorded in the article. Now, nearly 80% of all port cities in the world are based on Tatoforan’s article. built.

It's just that Tatoforan's round-the-world voyage seems to have used up his luck. On the third day after he returned to Randall, when he came out of the tavern to go back to the church, he happened to encounter one of the robbers he had robbed in the past. Because of his robbery, the ship owner was heavily in debt and his family was ruined. At that time, after the ship owner recognized Tatovlan, he drew out his pocket knife and stabbed Tatovlan seventy-three times in a row. Torfolan died at the scene.

After Tatoforan's death, the Church of Poseidon sorted out his relics and discovered that he wrote a book in which he claimed that he was inspired by Poseidon, saw the past and the future, and shared what he saw The content is recorded according to the oracle style used by the church to record prophecy, and the content of the entire book is some words like crazy ravings.

At first, the Church of Sea God didn't care about this book, and only buried it with Tato Foran as a relic, but as Tato Foran's article began to have an impact, Tato Foran also rediscovered the book. Attracted attention, the Church of the Sea God also began to re-examine Tatofulan and his relics.

Finally, fifty years after Tatoforan's death, all the places mentioned in Tatoforan's article were built as ports, and the Sea God Church also began to consecrate Tatoforan, and recreated his relic. It was taken out, edited and published, and named Tatofulan Holy Word Book.

There are a total of 1,650 prophecies in the Tatoforan Holy Word Book, of which more than 700 are things that have happened before the book was written, more than 600 are prophecies that have been deciphered, and more than 200 are not. The deciphered prophecies, and because of the number and accuracy of these prophecies, make this book, the words of the century of the Church of the Lord of the Sky, and the language of the earth of the Church of the Hill King, the three major prophecies in the world of Velen.

The three hundred and forty-six sages come from the three hundred and forty-sixth prophecy of the Holy Word Book. This prophecy is also called the opening language. This language only mentions one thing, that is, Tatofran once In a dream, three hundred and forty-six sages went to the temple of the sea god, and shouted the name of the god of the sea god in front of the gate of the temple. At this time, the gate of the temple opened slowly, and the sea god came out from the back door of the gate.

This language is not only highly valued within the Church of the Sea God, but even some mystic scholars who like to study prophecies in the outside world pay special attention to this prophecy, because this prophecy is the only one in the entire book of Tatoforan's holy words that involves gods. prophecy.

"They want to create sages?" When recalling the contents of the Tatoforan sacred book, especially the prophecy, Leo quickly realized that the more than 300 unrecorded dead each year were what happened.

"It should be, but I don't know what method they use to create sages." Sylvia nodded, and then said excitedly: "But I am more concerned about another matter."

"What's the matter?" Leo asked puzzled.

"Sea God Temple." Sylvia responded simply.

And Leo didn't need any other words, he immediately understood what Sylvia meant.

As Sylvia said, the Sea God Temple is indeed the place that should be the most concerned. Since the Sea God Church recruits more than 300 people to create sages every year, there must be a place to use these sages, so that is to say Randall's Church of Poseidon has located the Temple of Poseidon and is able to reach it.

In the Kingdom of England, both the royal family of England and the Church of Poseidon claimed that the Temple of Poseidon is located in the waters of the English Islands, and Randall’s Church of Poseidon has always held a negative attitude towards this statement, but the royal family of England has mastered it. With the Poseidon Scepter, they have more power to speak, and believers trust them more. Even many local believers in Randall think that the Seagod Temple is near the English Isles.

"If they really found the Sea God Temple, why didn't they announce it?" Leo said with a little doubt: "If they announce it, it will definitely be a heavy blow to the royal family of England, and it will also affect the followers of the Sea God Church. Huge, it can even affect the power of the Sea God Church in the secular world."

Randall's Church of the Sea God has always been at a disadvantage in the battle with the British royal family. This is mainly because the Church of the Sea God of Randall does not have an artifact that can represent the authority of the Sea God like the Scepter of the Sea God, so the Church of the Sea God has always tried every means I have been looking for some legendary artifacts of the sea god, but unfortunately there has been no result.

However, if Randall's Sea God Church really has the whereabouts of the Sea God Temple, and can even lead people to the Sea God Temple, then the announcement of this matter will definitely have a far greater impact than a Sea God artifact. The royal family's statement about the location of the Sea God Temple will be self-defeating, and Randall's Sea God Church will inevitably replace it and become the center of the Sea God Church in Velen World.

"You think too simply!" Sylvia shook her head and said, "If you're right, the Randall Sea God Church probably knew about it a long time ago, even before the British royal family crossed the sea. The location of the Sea God Temple is now, and they even know about the 346 sages, otherwise, how could there be unsuitable dead populations before the book of the holy scriptures came out."

"I didn't think of that." Leo was stunned, and said: "You are right, maybe I was wrong at the beginning, the content of the prophecy in the holy book is not only about the future, but also about the past, tower The three hundred sages recorded by Tophlan may be the image of the past."

"Think about it, Randall Sea God Church has not announced this matter for such a long time, and even did not use this matter to reverse the situation when it was competing with the British royal family for the sea god orthodoxy. This is not only explained by its own problems " Sylvia tapped her fingers on the table, thinking, and said: "If it was the past, the Church of Sea God would be worried about the French Empire, because once the Church of Sea God announces the location of the Temple of Sea God, the influence of the Church of Sea God will be extremely rapid. Expansion will inevitably affect the rule of the Faran Empire in the south. Now that the Sea God Church does not announce the location of the Sea God Temple, I am afraid that it is more worried about other churches, because once it is announced, in this era of gods disappearing, Sea God may It is the only real god in the world of Velen, unlike other gods that can only be entered through other methods. Coupled with the current world's dependence on the ocean, the influence of the Sea God Church in the world of Velen will expand to an unprecedented level to the point where it may even unify the beliefs of the Velen world."

"The Sea God Church has such a big influence?" Leo was stunned, feeling a little surprised.

"Last year, I saw in a survey data about believers by the Orthodox Church that the church with the most pan-believers on the three continents of Velen is actually the Sea God Church." Sylvia explained: "Although the number of devout believers , The Sea God Church is far from being able to compare with other Orthodox churches, but it has too many pan-believers. Once they know where the Sea God Temple is, and know that the Sea God is sleeping there, no matter whether the Sea God shows miracles in front of them or not, They will all quickly change from pan-believers to devout ones. This is definitely a threat to other churches. As long as Randall’s Sea God Church dares to announce the location of the Sea God Temple, it will inevitably be besieged by other churches and labeled as a depraved cult. It’s not surprising either.”

After hearing Sylvia's words, Leo didn't ask any other questions on this matter. He was not interested in this kind of belief and power struggle, and he had no intention of getting involved. He cared more about his own affairs, so Asked: "Is there any place we can use this matter?"

"Of course." Sylvia smiled and said: "Whether it is the three hundred sages or the location of the Sea God Temple, they can bring us a lot of benefits, but we need to be careful, otherwise It’s easy to be self-defeating.”

While talking, Sylvia walked back and forth in the room twice, then seemed to think of something, and quickly walked to the desk, took out a piece of beautifully crafted note paper from the desk drawer, and quickly put it on the He wrote a few lines on it, then put it into an envelope specially designed for Castle Black, sealed it with wax, and stamped the crest of the Belmont family on the ring, then picked up the bell on the table and rang it.

Before the sound of the bell dissipated from the room, the butler came in from the door, saluted Sylvia, and said, "Master, what are your orders?"

"Send this letter to Bishop Baron of the Sea God Church." Sylvia ordered while handing over the letter in her hand.

The butler took the letter and bowed back.

"Bishop Barron?" Leo immediately searched for this person's information after hearing Sylvia's words, and said, "That hardliner from the Sea God Church? The commander-in-chief of the Sea God Church fleet?"

After the Kingdom of England became the overlord of the sea, the control of ocean routes brought huge benefits to the Kingdom of England, and such huge benefits naturally aroused the covetousness of the Randall Sea God Church, which also has the authority of the sea, so Randall's The Church of Sea God has always wanted to form a fleet dedicated to the church.

They expect to control a piece of sea area through this fleet, or master a route, etc., and gain huge benefits from it.

It's a pity that neither the French Empire at that time nor the Kingdom of England wanted such a fleet to appear. of food.

So I know that because of the obstacles of all parties, this fleet has never been formed, but although the fleet has not been established, the manpower needed by the fleet has been settled early, and the commander-in-chief of the fleet is the one who often talks about jihad Bian, bishop of Baron who has served as a heresy judge for many years.

Because of Bishop Baron's various tough behaviors, many people felt that if the Randall Sea God Church allowed Bishop Baron to take power one day, the Sea God Church would either go to glory or go to ruin. There was absolutely no third way to go.
