Monet's first official program broadcast set off a wave in a quarter of the southern border—almost overnight, this incredible, new and interesting content that allows people to see the distant scenery and is open to the whole people Things became the focus of people's scrambling discussions, and in the areas that the magic net communication could not cover, people also knew the existence of the magic net radio: the newspaper that was published quickly used a whole page to introduce the first The first Monet broadcast, which explained to people the basic concepts of Monet communication, the basic concepts of radio programs, and the general content of the first issue of "Witch Time", and along with this newspaper, there is one more thing:
A thin book called The White Knight.
This is a reading book with only a few dozen pages, and the paper and binding are very cheap and simple, which is completely different from those long, heavy and expensive scholar's books in the old days, but it is still a real book.
This cheap book that only sells for ten copper coins is the first book in the south for the whole people, and its content is also simple and plain—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 Reflection on the operation of the Church of the Holy Light and the perception of the Holy Light. Between the lines, a way of the Holy Light that is completely different from the preaching of pastors and directly started from "people" has aroused fierce protests among countless civilian believers. discuss.
Some people were deeply touched, and some were dubious, but there was no doubt that the authority of the Holy Light Church was 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 believer of the church. Most ordinary people follow the church and only seek peace of mind. The understanding itself is very superficial and one-sided, and not very firm, of course it is quite easy to change.
After all, the new doctrine of the Holy Light is still "Holy Light", which sounds similar, and as long as it is "almost", most ordinary people will not bother to distinguish it carefully: they still have to focus more on themselves life.
Of course, there are unswerving supporters of the church among the civilians. Even though the government affairs department has completely blocked the missionary channels of the church, creating a vacuum of faith for two months, and with the propaganda power from newspapers and magic network radio, There will still be people who insist on the correctness of the old church, which is inevitable - but they are a minority after all, and as time goes on, it is only a matter of time before they convert.
And for those alien believers who don't pay much attention to the belief of the Holy Light, their biggest feeling at the moment is "peace of mind", because someone finally stood up to control the extreme atrocities of the Church of the Holy Light-they didn't seem to notice Sisi The "Faith and Church" section of the Seoul Weekly not only discusses the content of the Holy Light, but the common sense of the major churches has also been implanted in it in a subtle way... Or, they have noticed, but for most ordinary people In other words, their sensitivity in this regard is far inferior to those of professional clergy.
In Lord Cecil's mansion, Gawain looked at the report Hetty submitted to him—it included the sales of the book "White Knight" and the distribution of newspapers in various places, as well as the random reports of magic net programs around Cecil City. The investigation situation has a lot of content, and the general trend is basically not beyond his expectations.
"There will be more newspaper review articles and supplements in the future. There will also be regular magic net programs. Protestant propaganda work has also begun. Mr. Godwin Orlando has prepared an article, and the article will be discussed The way to put forward in newspapers 'whether to establish a new order of the Holy Light'. In addition, propaganda and guidance personnel in various places have also begun to take action to ensure that there are enough people in areas with low literacy and no magic network signal Discuss the matter."
Hetty reported the progress of various tasks, while the old ancestor in front of her showed a satisfied smile.
"Very good," Gao Wen nodded, and put down the report materials casually, "We should start this work from the lowest level of the people—those priests have been at the top for too long, and they didn't even realize that the most ordinary people It is 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 at all."
Standing behind Gao Wen, Rebecca listened to the conversation between the two with a cute face (she was here to report the technical information of the magic network broadcasting system), and at this moment she couldn't help saying: "This is really possible. Get those magic sticks out of the Cathedral of Loane?"
"What we are doing now is to drive out the influence of those 'magic sticks' from the hearts of the civilians in the southern border, but this is a very long-term project," Gao Wen shook his head, "People's hearts are easy to shake, but they are not so Hurry up, the Church of the Holy Light 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 establishing a new church is the second step , and then we will need several years, or even more than ten years, to replace the old teachings with new teachings little by little, so that people can recognize this kind of changing customs from the bottom of their hearts. This is not something that can be easily done with a few newspapers and a few 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 correct the problem of painting a beard on the teacher's face, not to mention that now we want to change the minds of hundreds of thousands or even millions of people."
Rebecca stuck out her tongue: "Then... what about those priests in Luan City? When will they be kicked out?"
"They will leave before then—I don't plan to let them stay in the southern border for so long," Gao Wen said casually, "The influence of the Church of the Holy Light will take a long time to get rid of, but those priests are different... To get rid of them, you just need to get rid of them." An outrage of the people."
Hetty couldn't help but frowned: "Can that guy Amber really do it..."
Gawain glanced at Heidi, smiled and shook his head: "To be honest, you underestimated her."
Hetty seemed dubious: "Is that so..."
"When fighting with people, Amber may be timid to everyone, but she has talents beyond your imagination when she is active at the bottom of society and brings her own hands to sabotage and infiltrate," Gao Wen said, pulling out a bag from the desk Stacked materials, "You should have seen the news from the officers of the Military Intelligence Bureau from the city of Luan, so you should also take a look at these things."
Hetty took the materials suspiciously, showing a look of astonishment while looking at them.
"People who support the cathedral and those who oppose the cathedral have begun to confront each other, and the group of priests has also seen a rift. Rumors about the former bishop Lemont are circulating in the small church area, and there are dozens of true and false rumors circulating along with it. False rumors and gossips, the cathedral continues to send discipline monks and Holy See knights to extinguish those rumors and promotional materials. When they extinguish one, two will emerge, and even the curfew, rationing, and search they carried out in the process , Interrogating these actions themselves will immediately become a new source of rumors and an unstable factor," Gao Wen said unhurriedly, looking at Heidi's expression, "Amber and her team have always been hidden in the crowd. When any incident happened, they immediately grasped the points that could arouse people's attention and debate, and pushed a little bit at the most appropriate position... Then, the crowd's opposition and mutual suspicion naturally occurred."
Hetty was dumbfounded, and Gawain continued slowly: "During this process, Amber and her team members captured almost all the moments when those clergymen showed their ugly faces, and these 'moments' became the ones you and I saw. Pictures and videos, and after these pictures and videos pass through the hands of Godwin Orlando, they will become newspapers and leaflets distributed throughout the country, and in the near future, they will also become programs broadcast by Magic Network. The anger of those priests will spread from inside the city of Luan to the outside of the city, and finally connect together."
Hetty raised her head and looked at Gawain with an expression of disbelief: "These...you taught her?"
"I taught her part, the most basic part, and then she took care of all the details by herself, and trained her subordinates to become experts in this field," Gao Wen said, with a little sigh in his tone, "She It's true... very good at wielding a poisoned dagger."
Hetty didn't know what to say for a moment, she only knew that for the first time, she felt that the half-elf who usually looked annoying and cowardly... was a strong person.
Even a little chilling.
…
Amber is really good at using poison-enhanced daggers, and she herself has confirmed this more and more recently.
The destruction of Luan City is still going on, and it is gradually reaching a critical stage.
Antagonism 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 common people. Now, even those priests who believe in the God of Holy Light have a serious sense of distrust towards 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 are locked up underground in the church area. Penance in the form of penance was carried out in greater numbers than last time."
In this regard, Amber just nodded as expected: "The second batch of leaflets sent to the inner city has taken effect."
One of his subordinates couldn't help sighing: "It's really unexpected... After the first batch of leaflets were destroyed, there are still priests in the small church area who will hide those promotional materials..."
"The gang of magic sticks are also human beings, since they are human beings, they have human hearts," Hu Po said casually as she watched the poisoned blade glow slightly blue-purple under the dim starlight, fiddling with the small dagger in her hand. "When the first batch of leaflets entered the city, the priests in the fringe areas might have just become curious about it, and were a little suspicious by the contents of the leaflets. However, they were still loyal to the church and the cathedral at that time. ——But the cathedral itself obviously doesn't think so. The people in the cathedral don't trust those low-level priests and priests. heresy' look... and the situation can only get worse."
"But then again, boss, how do you know how the cathedral will react? How do you know that the cathedral is bound to miscalculate the situation in the chapel quarter?"
Amber glanced at the subordinate who asked the question: "It's very simple. When the cathedral took action, I went to the chapel area."
"ah?"
"The magic circle in the cathedral is a bit troublesome, but the small churches can't stop me," Amber said slowly, "I hid a large number of leaflets in various small churches before those discipline monks acted. The long blockade has ended 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. In this case, many leaflets suddenly appeared, even the managers of the small church, the first time they thought of It's not suspicion, but that other people in the church are hiding leaflets, because they themselves... are actually shaken in their hearts.
"The group of discipline monks probably found thousands of leaflets from the small church area... But in fact, the number of leaflets that actually flowed into the inner city was less than one-tenth of that number."
Seeing the astonished and admired expressions of his subordinates, Hu Po just flipped the dagger in his hand casually: "You youngsters, you still have a lot to learn..."
She raised her wrist, and the poisoned dagger flew out soundlessly in the night. With a soft sound, the dagger was firmly nailed to a pillar in the house.
"It's almost time to send a message to the headquarters... No matter how slow the reaction of the people in the cathedral is, it's time to realize our existence at this moment, and we have to prepare for the next move."
(I feel like my brain is shaking!!)
