"Oh? A rebellion occurred in the Pandorn Empire?"
Although the tone of admiration was used, Wu Ming didn't even shake the hand holding the coffee cup. This calm posture immediately made the people on the opposite side feel unfathomable.
The guests he is meeting now are much more senior than the Scarlet Hand. They are all big consortia in the Golden Oak and even the Bauhinia Federation such as Locke and Dewey.
Capital knows no borders, and capitalists who don't do business all over the world are embarrassed to be called plutocrats
Wu Ming was also not surprised at all by the presence of a representative of the Federation's consortium among the visitors.
"Yes!"
At this time, on the opposite side, a well-mannered young man with platinum hair and a well-dressed suit spoke first: "Your Majesty, according to the information we got on the way, this is indeed true... the rebellion seems It started from a beer hall and quickly spread to half the empire, with young officers as the main force... "
Any rebellion, with or without the participation of the regular army, is completely of two different scales.
Once these elites join in, the rebel army can be organized immediately, and its combat effectiveness is vastly different from before.
The same is true in Wu Ming's previous life and ancient times. Most of the peasant uprisings were the end of the king's pioneers. Only when the world was completely corrupted, and the landlords and scholar elites who had been disappointed in the previous dynasty joined in, would they sweep the country and completely destroy the dynasty? chaos, and build a new empire on its corpse.
"It seems that the Pandorn Empire is in chaos this time..."
From their words, Wu Ming heard an obvious feeling of gloating, and he understood it very well.
Although Bauhinia and Golden Oak once fought wars, international exchanges are based entirely on the principle of interests. They have a strong feeling for Pan Duoen, who is huge in size and powerful in military strength. He is known as the world's military police vigilant attitude.
Not to mention, on the surface, the other party is a steam power that has completed industrialization, but in fact, it is still ruled by a corrupt emperor and bureaucrats, arbitrarily imposing trade barriers, and greedily searching for colonies all over the world. unanimous dissatisfaction.
Just looking at the fact that there is no representative of the Pandorn Consortium among the delegation this time, one can see how ostracized the empire was.
"That's really unfortunate... When the war broke out, I don't know how many civilians will be displaced, and the souls of many soldiers will not be able to rest in peace. Their parents and children have no one to take care of them..."
Wu Ming put on a compassionate attitude, and solemnly prayed: "May the God of Salvation bless them!"
"What a kind man you are!"
Most of the financiers and bankers on the opposite side, like Wu Ming, are creatures with no lower limit, but at this time they all had to express a few words, and some even wanted to donate money to those refugees.
After some unnutritious talk, they finally got to the point.
"My god is the true god, there is no doubt about it!"
Wu Ming took the lead in setting the tone for this conversation: "And... His kingdom of God will shelter the souls of all believers after death!"
"Of course we know the teachings of the God of Redemption, but the world after death is vain after all... We greedy people still want to linger in this world for a while..."
The representative of the Dewey family is an old man who is notoriously old-fashioned and arrogant in the outside world, but in front of Wu Ming, his tone was almost pleading: "We have all seen the power of magic, it is so serious, it is almost certain to die. All injuries can be recovered immediately, so extending the life of a human being should be just a negligible favor to my god, right?"
"It's different!"
Wu Ming shook his head, but secretly smiled in his heart.
For these high-ranking people, in order to keep their power and enjoy it forever, almost any price is willing to pay.
"The essence of divine art lies in the exchange of equivalent values. It consumes not only the divine power of our lord, but also the vitality of priests and recipients..."
Although Wu Ming can easily extend their lives by dozens or hundreds of years, but he will not do so at all.
Equivalent exchange and circular flow are the essence of this world.
Even for gods, petitioners after the death of believers are needed to enrich the kingdom of God, and it is even more impossible to make all believers live forever with limited divine power.
If there is such a stupid god, there is only one end, that is, the divine power cannot make ends meet, and it will go bankrupt and fall completely.
"Can it only protect the soul after death?"
The capitalists were a little disappointed: "What about the soul, the current technology can't see it..."
"Even if you have hundreds of millions of capital and can influence national policy, you are still a mortal body, and you are even more afraid of death..."
Wu Ming laughed secretly in his heart, but on the surface he said solemnly: "My Lord's kingdom of God is everywhere, as long as you are a devout believer, you will be able to see it eventually!"
In order for these people to facilitate his preaching, a little hope must be given to them.
After all, for them, from the original hopelessness to now barely a little light, it is enough for them to make a choice.
"I see!"
Sure enough, the young people of the Locke family spoke first: "I will convey the meaning of His Majesty the Pope to the family. In my personal opinion, the Church of Redemption is a religion that is bright and leads people to be good. The glory of the God of Redemption, It should be passed on to the whole world!"
Opening a back door for preaching, in exchange for a guarantee of a soul after death, although a bit illusory, it is better than nothing.
On the contrary, the old man of the Dewey family had a gleam in his eyes: "Your Majesty, I would like to ask, is there really no one in this world who can obtain eternal life?"
"It depends on how you define longevity!"
Wu Ming smiled and said, "Being in the divine kingdom of my lord, and being with the divine kingdom, isn't it also a kind of longevity for those petitioners?"
"Of course, in our world, there are many secrets, such as some dark races, because of the blood in their bodies, they can also obtain a longer life than ordinary people!"
He naturally knew what the other party wanted to say.
"The Pope really knows everything!"
The old man of the Dewey family complimented: "Our family also invested in the investigation of mysterious creatures, but the results were not satisfactory... There is no way to obtain the true bloodline except for reproduction, even now, those dark families themselves His bloodlines are weak and weak, and his life expectancy is at most ten or twenty years longer than ordinary people... "
Even so, Wu Ming could hear strong envy from his voice.
"But now... it's different!"
The old man said softly: "Our family is very interested in cooperating with your church. In order to show my sincerity, I brought this... This is the latest information from the Federation, and there is a little possibility of longevity in it!"
'I didn't expect this old man to sell his teammates so thoroughly...'
Wu Ming was slightly embarrassed, and immediately took the file, he knew it was about the Lord God Space without looking at it.
"Hell has arisen... may the glory of my God redeem those innocents!"
He recklessly didn't read the material, and just prayed directly.
"You... know the news on this?"
The old man was completely surprised now.
"Where there is light, there is darkness. My god was born from chaos, which represents redemption, so there must be a hell where depravity and sin gather..."
Wu Ming could guess it with his toes. If his newly revised doctrine hadn't made the old man doubtful, he wouldn't have taken out this document even if he died.
"Sure enough, everything can't be hidden from the gods!"
The old man gave a wry smile, and then asked expectantly: "According to our investigation, Siegel may have also fallen into that reincarnation world... or hell, so he obtained the blood of a werewolf... Does this mean that those of us Ordinary people, there is also a way to obtain blood through it?"
This is already very bold.
Discussing the possibility of obtaining devil power from hell in front of a pope is something only a group of unbelievers and blasphemers would do.
But Wu Ming is also clear about their integrity and lower limit.
The selection of people in the non-reincarnation space is completely random, without the slightest rule, and if there is no entity in the world, let alone them, it is the scarlet hand. I am afraid that they must first look for hope in the reincarnation world.
"I can only say that it has a certain degree of feasibility!"
Wu Ming was silent for a while, and said immediately: "But obtaining the power of hell devils must come with a price. Are you ready?"
…
After he said this, he got up and left the reception room, and the saint outside immediately came in respectfully to see off the guests.
After Locke, Dewey, and representatives of other families left the headquarters of the Church of Redemption, they immediately gathered together.
"I have activated the latest researched jammer here, which can block the detection of all equipment!"
The old man of the Dewey family fiddled with a pair of instruments: "Of course...there is still a lack of experimentation on the effect of divine magic, but judging from the information obtained from those extraordinary people, it should not be that there is no effect at all!"
"What do you think Pope Steven is like?"
Long before dealing with Wu Ming, all his information in this world was secretly collected by these people.
But even if they want to break their heads, they can't see how such a person who was so ordinary before became what he is now.
"The only thing that is certain is that the opponent is very strong!"
The young man of the Locke family took out a pocket watch, and when he opened it, there were various precise pointers inside: "This is the latest detector developed by our family. According to the X-factor theory of Professor Luthor of the Federation, it can detect various extraordinary scales. , but just now, just randomly checked the next priest, it almost exploded..."
Such a powerful force makes several people look at each other speechlessly. Strength brings status and power. This is the truth.
"And... the Pope, how should I put it..."
The old man of the Dewey family was also a little puzzled: "He doesn't seem to be very... pious to the gods? But how can a person who is not pious become the pope? Unless..."
