Irving is in his early thirties, has a beard, is not tall, talks with great joy, has bright eyes, and looks very capable.
The students who came with him were quite young, with a bit of a student spirit unique to young people. When they saw Rhine, they were so excited that they were speechless. Rhine briefly explained to them the main ideas of operations research, and they all accepted the job with great enthusiasm. Rhine felt funny and relieved when he saw that these "coolies" were so motivated. They were indeed young people.
After arranging the work of several young people, Rhine and Irving chatted alone. Owen took out the manuscripts he had brought with him, which was a thick stack. In fact, since he started studying the origin of species, Owen has written many manuscripts. All he has to do now is to put together a manuscript with clear logic and complete structure.
Owen handed the manuscript to Rhine and said: "Your Excellency, since I received your letter, I have been sorting out these manuscripts. This is the first draft. I wonder if you have time to review it first?"
Rhine took the manuscript and said: "Put this manuscript here for now. I will read it when I have time. You should prepare the manuscript for your speech in the past few days. Before you formally deliver the speech, I need to read your manuscript. Then Help you arrange the presentation."
Owen didn't think that Rhine would be so interested in this matter at first, but then he thought about it. It was Rhine who started the trend of science and technology academics. This earl really valued this knowledge. Maybe the other party really valued it. his theory.
This feeling of being appreciated was so good that Owen nodded excitedly.
After Irving exited, Rhine began to look through the manuscripts. With a few students helping him with calculations, he was finally able to squeeze out some time to do other things. In fact, in later generations, he had never really read "The Origin of Species". All concepts came from basic historical and biological knowledge, mainly common sense.
However, many concepts that were regarded as basic in later generations have become bold and innovative hypotheses here, and their rationality needs to be repeatedly demonstrated through various phenomena.
Rhine stayed up all night and read Irving's first draft. Except for some textual fallacies, there were no logical deviations in the whole book. Because it was a first draft, many details were not discussed, but the rigor of the overall logical chain of the structure made Rhine Very comfortable to watch.
In the battles of the past few days, the Holy See suffered heavy losses. Rhine and others occupied two monasteries as a foothold and did not take the initiative to attack. The Holy See did not dare to attack rashly, and the two sides fell into a stalemate.
Rhine took this opportunity to have a good chat with Owen, and Rhine also gave his own opinions on the manuscript. Owen's eyes lit up as he listened. Ever since he constructed the theoretical system of evolution, Owen has been doing one thing, that is explanation. Explain to everyone the essence of his theory, the rationality of the theory, the degree of fit between the theory and reality, and even how this theory explains phenomena in history.
Rhine was the first person to fully understand his theory without the need for explanation, and he was even able to make suggestions that Irving considered very practical. This kind of spiritual communication is very valuable in Owen's opinion, and his evaluation of the earl has reached a new level.
At first, Owen only thought that this was a very kind and far-sighted earl who was willing to support academics. The Holy See's suppression and persecution of his theory made him want to join the count's camp. Irving is a man with a very fighting spirit. He is willing to sacrifice everything for the truth in his eyes, even his own life. But now, Rhine's understanding makes him feel that his actions are more valuable. He is not only fighting for his own truth, but also fighting for the count's truth, and also fighting for more people like him and the count.
Irving incorporated this excitement into the manuscript and wrote a very impassioned and highly inflammatory manuscript, the kind that would make the Holy See flip the table with shame upon hearing it. Rhine couldn't help but feel pity for his talent after reading it. Academics were destined to take up most of Owen's time, and his outstanding speaking talent could only come in handy at such times.
Irving gave an impassioned speech in front of Rhine, who applauded him proudly and said, "Someone from the Holy See may come to debate with you in public. Are you confident?"
Irving was a little confused. People from the Holy See were openly debating with him? He thought that when people from the Holy See came, they would secretly grab a weapon and shoot him. But if there is really a public debate, he will definitely not be afraid. Irving is so slippery. Even if he mocks the Holy See for a word or two at a critical moment, it may only make the people present laugh and like him even more.
"My lord, although I don't know how this debate can be organized, you can rest assured that I will never be inferior to people from the Holy See."
Rhine nodded. He saw that Owen was not a person who would be frightened, but it was better to get his consent before doing these things.
Rhine deliberately wanted to disrupt the Holy See. He did not send anyone to tell the Holy See, "I want to hold a debate with you to discuss the origin of species." Instead, he directly sent people to spread the news, and even participated in it himself. A local ball revealed the news to nobles of all sizes.
Rhine is more popular than before. In the past, he was a handsome and powerful earl. Now he is preceded by an adjective of bravery and good at fighting. He is simply the envy and jealousy of men, and women can't help but secretly admire him. Object. Although most of the nobles who wanted to protect themselves were unwilling to get too close to him because of his dispute with the Holy See, no one would not want to come and see this legendary earl. After meeting him, no one was willing to say a word to him.
Rhine shamelessly used his charming demeanor to naturally reveal in a few words that there would be a debate between Owen and the Holy See in the central square three days later.
Others didn't even think that he said this specifically, they just thought it was mentioned casually, and they subconsciously remembered it in their hearts.
A little girl was so fascinated by Rhine that she couldn't help but speak her mind: "Mr. Palatinate, are you really attacking the Holy See for Miss Blaine? If you don't attack the Holy See, then How wonderful it would be.”
In their eyes, the entire Holy See of the Fran dynasty together was such a huge behemoth. The Rhine and the Holy See are on opposite sides, which is synonymous with danger. But he is so charming, and even more fatally attractive because of this dangerous courage. Revenge for the one you love is so attractive to these little girls. But just as the little girl who asked the question thought, these ladies all hoped that Rhine would give up this idea. If Rhine was not an enemy of the Holy See and was just an ordinary earl, he would be a good marriage partner. All the ladies present were looking forward to dancing with him.
Rhine could only wonder about the style.
He said: "Why don't you attack the Holy See? The Holy See is stupid and spontaneous, trying to use the word "□□" to put shackles on everyone's neck. I know that everyone looks down on the Holy See on weekdays and thinks that the nobles are superior, but if you really want to compete with the Holy See, how can you I feel that the Holy See tree has deep roots and is difficult to deal with. But precisely because of this, we cannot allow the Holy See to develop like this. If I put down the sword against the Holy See today, they will be able to tie me to the gallows tomorrow, and the reason for my execution will be It's heresy or demonic possession. What's so scary about death? But I don't want to die for such a stupid reason. Ignorance is man's greatest original sin."
This was Rhine's usual style. Although he came just to spread the news about the debate, it was easy for him to start talking casually and see if there were any "aristocratic traitors" and other progressive young people he could inspire.
If you tell these nobles that you care about the people, they won't listen. But if you vigorously attack the Holy See as a stupid institution, they will unconsciously fall to your side, for fear that they will be stupid if they say more for the Holy See. of people.
Rhine's efforts were not in vain. Owen and the Holy See had a debate on the origin of species in the central square, which was widely spread, and many nobles expressed their intention to watch it. The poor Pope was asked by other nobles how confident he was when he heard the news. The Pope was confused and thought he had neglected something, so he had to laugh and fool him without denying it on the spot. When the Pope went back to ask about the matter, he realized that Rhine and the others had not sent them any invitations or inquiries at all, but had unilaterally established the debate.
The Pope was so angry that his nose was twisted. He still remembered the last disastrous defeat. He didn't want to talk to Rhine from the bottom of his heart, but the other party did it again. The Pope sent someone to ask Rhine why he was spreading this kind of news. As a result, Rhine only asked someone to send him one sentence: "Do you want to come or not? If you don't do anything when you come, I won't fight you. I'll give you a chance to argue. No." If you come, we'll change it to a speech, it won't be a loss anyway, you can make up your own mind."
The Pope was so angry that he slammed the table. He was really put in a dilemma by Rhine. If he went, it was obvious that the other party was fully prepared. Whether it was a simple debate or other ideas, they would easily fall behind. If he doesn't go, do he have to bang the table and tell people that he didn't even make an appointment with Rhine for this fight? Regardless of whether others believe it or not, this gimmick alone can attract many onlookers to Rhine. Then the shameless Rhine will definitely let Owen go up and give a swaggering speech, putting the face of the Holy See on the ground.

After much thought, the Pope decided to let people participate in this debate. He had also heard some of Owen's theory of evolution. Are the ancestors of human beings apes? There were so many nobles at the scene, and they really dared to speak. Thinking of this, the sadness on the Pope's brows disappeared a little, and he thought about how to make Rhine retreat. The previous disastrous defeat made it clear to the Pope that they alone could not defeat the Rhine, and this debate would be a good opportunity. The Pope wanted to prove to those nobles that what Rhine supported were stupid and ridiculous things, so as to further win over those nobles in order to gain support from them.
Because of the uncooperation of George I, the Holy See in various places cannot blatantly help each other, otherwise the movement of a large number of legions is likely to arouse the dissatisfaction of the emperor. If George gets the idea, he also uses an excuse to get involved. The form of the Holy See is really Something is wrong.
Thinking of this, the Pope finally made up his mind to participate in the debate.
The debate also started as scheduled on that day.
