The first old gentleman asked how to completely eradicate the "Fabry Scam". The current God of Lies has no good way but can only give appropriate countermeasures.
The second tall, thin, middle-aged man with red hair asked about the difference between the accumulation of wealth in the "Fabry Scam" and the bank's collection of deposits. This is a very good question, but unfortunately Jenkins can't give a very deep answer, he can only answer from the perspective of the country or religious reputation behind the bank, but the audience is also not very good at it, so this answer sounds okay.
The last questioner, Jenkins wanted to choose from the audience in the back row, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he thought that he would be able to rest after answering the next questioner.
Looking around and seeing Dolores and Alexia looking at him and smiling, the joyful feeling in his heart became even stronger, so he casually pointed to a young man. The young gentleman pointed out by Jenkins was very surprised, and looked around to see if he had really been chosen. Just at this moment, another young man who was three rows away from him suddenly stood up, and then said quickly, regardless of others:
"I'm glad you allowed me to ask you questions."
"Huh? What I mean is..."
Jenkins wondered in his heart, ordinary people might be embarrassed to point this out in this position, but Jenkins is not an ordinary person. He was on the verge of pointing out that he hadn't chosen him, but the man standing up and clutching his hat didn't give Jenkins a chance to speak:
"Lord William, my question is this. As we all know, although the Fabry scam did not cause much loss in the end, it was because you exposed the scam in advance. In other words, once the Fabry scam really came true We can imagine how terrible the consequences will be. Therefore, the kingdom and the parliament must always be on guard against people who have similar tendencies, or who have a high level of understanding of financial games, such as... you... So, should we establish supervision... "
Jenkins couldn't hear the latter because the noise in the front row had drowned out the questioner's voice. Halfway through the young man's speech, most of the audience began to speak regardless of etiquette. Of course, most of them accused the questioner of being rude. No matter how you say it, Jenkins is also a "foreigner". Disgusting Jenkins himself, once known by the Fidetictli Kingdom, the Hampawo Kingdom, especially everyone here, will definitely become a laughing stock.
"So you're implying that I'm going to be a fraud like Miss Fabry?"
Jenkins asked frankly, combined with his young face, it gave the impression that young people are too impatient and ignorant.
"Meow~"
The cat lying next to Jenkins screamed excitedly, it likes to watch this kind of excitement.
"No, no, Lord William, I am just a metaphor, a hypothesis, a rhetorical technique unique to our country. The original intention of the question is to ask you how to establish a suitable monitoring system."
The questioner continued in the uproar, and now everyone understands that this was definitely arranged in advance by someone with malicious intentions. Then contacting Jenkins as a guest invited by Dolores Stuart, it is not difficult to imagine the reason for all this.
Jenkins curled his lips, somewhat looking down on this way of looking for trouble. The opponent's timing was good, but the problem was too bad.
"If criminal ability must be monitored, then there will be no people in this world who are not monitored. Everyone can hold a knife. I believe that many of you in this room carry guns, but this means that we Do you need to monitor everyone?"
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to touch his waist, then took out the pistol and slapped it on the desk in front of him with a "bang".
"You see, because of the riots some time ago, I now carry a gun when I go out. Of course, His Highness gave me a gun license, although I don't know how to use it... But why would the police department always ask me because I have the ability to shoot?" Spying on me? Honestly, that's a ridiculous question."
There was also a good-natured smile from the audience, and although Jenkins thought it was nothing funny, he continued:
"Instead of worrying about the increasing number of smart people, it is better to let these smart people become part of the system in a reasonable way. Whether it is an individual or a country, they are all developing and progressing. Suppressing development and imprisoning new technologies is actually a Changing direction lags behind other countries... Of course, some new technologies are indeed particularly dangerous, and this point must be clearly distinguished.”
The last sentence was added because Jenkins thought of the demigod whose body was more than two-thirds geared. He didn't know how much the people present understood, but at least the warm applause couldn't be faked.
Jenkins was satisfied with this answer, and after the speech, he asked Alexia what he thought of his last words. As for the man who asked the last question, naturally Dolores would investigate and solve it, and Jenkins didn't have to worry about such things.
The impact of this speech was far-reaching. In the early morning of the next Sunday, the photo of Jenkins waving his hand and giving a speech appeared on the front pages of major local newspapers.
Jenkins crossed his legs and flipped through the newspaper's evaluations at the dining table, while the cat quietly licked the milk on the dining table.
"Good morning, Jenkins."
Because there is no cat alarm clock, neither Alexia nor Dolores wake up as early as Jenkins. And seeing the hostess appeared, Julia, who was standing beside Jenkins serving tea, informed the kitchen that breakfast could be brought up.
"Good morning, Alexia, Dolores."
Dolores' sister was not up yet, but it was understandable for children to sleep a little longer.
"This report actually suggested that the kingdom should hire me as a consultant to the finance department."
Jenkins smiled and handed the newspaper to Alexia, and then reached out to wash his hands in the sink brought by the maid next to him. Some ink was stuck to his hands, but he actually liked the smell quite a bit.
"I think it's a good idea."
Dolores said.
"That will have to wait until I make up my mind to take everyone to Loen."
Jenkins replied, then thought of Nolan's girls again.
Before returning to Nolan today, Jenkins received the letter after breakfast and went to Ruen's church again. Father Fernando told Jenkins that the local investigation of the strange tobacco in Ruen had made progress, and the church had found clues to the supply in the black market, and found out that there was also a believer in [Circling Mist] in the local area.
From a historical point of view, this is the first time that Loen has discovered the followers of this false god, which is quite unusual.
"News came from the Holy See. After targeted searches across the mainland, traces of those tobaccos have been found. [The Church of All Things and Nature] has already started the identification of tobacco. The preliminary judgment believes that this is not naturally cultivated. It is a product obtained by special processing of ordinary tobacco. Its components are very complex. At present, only human hair and crow's bone meal have been isolated. Although the consequences of long-term smoking have not been thoroughly investigated, it is basically certain that this is not good. Something. It’s just that after the Holy See consulted the sages, it has not yet received an oracle about whether the false god [Circling Fog] has shifted to the evil god’s camp, but the Holy See said that members of the [Scent Appreciation Committee] can be compulsorily arrested and interrogated .”
"How many people have used that tobacco?"
Jenkins asked.
"Hard to say."
Father Fernando explained embarrassingly:
"Although the price is expensive, the sedative and psychotropic effects of that kind of tobacco are very obvious. Basically, after using it once, you will use it many times, even if its chemical addiction is extremely low. According to the current statistics, its usage rate is among the noble Not a small group of people, officials, merchants and artists, and even the clergy of the church used the records.
Before that, no one knew there was a problem with it, and most users regarded it as expensive special handmade tobacco... The problem may be a bit serious. "
It seems that the problem is indeed serious, but I don't know whether the side effects of tobacco are only for people who have smoked for a long time, or for anyone who has smoked once.
Nolan's [Universal Potion] has been proven to completely remove the mental and even soul effects of tobacco. It just needs to dilute the stock solution in the pool under the giant tree ten times to be effective.
But those potions were not much, even if Nolan's five churches were willing to take out all of them, it would not be enough to treat the abnormal tobacco users widely distributed in the whole continent.
"This is a big problem involving the entire physical world. The most important thing is that we don't know what the manufacturers of these tobaccos are up to."
Father Fernando said distressedly, and said that the Twelve Churches have reached an agreement with other countries, and within a few days they will announce to the world that the sale of those tobaccos is prohibited.
"We would exaggerate the side effects in the newspapers and have pictures telling people that that expensive tobacco was made in a very unsanitary environment and that smoking had long-term effects on males/fertility, and people always believed that reason …but I’m afraid there’s not much to be gained by registering all smokers with churches and councils, and I don’t believe anyone would voluntarily admit to having smoked something like that.”
The development of the matter has been out of control. At the beginning of receiving the information from Jenkins, the church thought that the benefactor was selling illegal drugs to ordinary people to make huge profits; It's a worldwide disaster.
Personal power plays no role in this matter. Even if Jenkins can now find the lair of tobacco sellers and kill everyone in it, it will not change the fact that hundreds of thousands of people have used those tobaccos.
