The first official program broadcast of Magic Network set off a wave in a quarter of the southern region - almost overnight, this incredible program that allows people to see distant scenes and is open to all people , novel and interesting things have become the focus of discussion among people. In areas that cannot be covered by Magic Network communications, people are also aware of the existence of Magic Network broadcasts: a newspaper that was published quickly devoted a whole page to it. Introducing this first Magic Network broadcast, it explains to people the basic concepts of Magic Network communication, the basic concepts of radio programs, and the general content of the first issue of "Witch Time". Along with this issue of the newspaper, there are also There is one thing:
A thin book called "White Knight".
This is a book with only a few dozen pages, and the paper and binding are very cheap and simple. This is completely different from the long, heavy and expensive scholar's books of the past, but it is still A real book.
This cheap book, which only sells for ten coppers, is the first book in the South that is open to all people, and its content is also simple and plain - it uses a similar technique in the first half of the book to tell the story of the birth of the White Knight. The second half of the story is the author's reflection on the operation of the Holy Light Church and his understanding of the Holy Light. Between the lines, there is a kind of Holy Light that is completely different from the pastor's sermons in the old days and starts directly from "people". Tao has triggered heated discussions among countless civilian believers.
Some people are deeply touched, and some are dubious, but there is no doubt that the authority of the Holy Light Church is gradually disintegrating among these people.
This is a natural result: although the Holy Light Church has a wide number of believers, it is impossible for everyone to be a devout believer of the church. What most ordinary people want from following the church is actually just peace of mind, and These shallow believers' understanding of the Holy Light Classics is very superficial and one-sided, and they are not very firm. Of course, it is quite easy to change.
After all, the new Holy Light doctrine is still "Holy Light". It sounds almost the same, but as long as it is "similar", most ordinary people will not bother to distinguish it carefully: they are even bigger Your energy should still be focused on your own life.
Of course there are unswerving supporters of the church among the common people. Even now, the Government Affairs Office has completely blocked the church’s missionary channels, creating a faith vacuum for two months. There are also reports from newspapers and With the propaganda power of the Magic Network broadcast, there will still be people who insist on the correctness of the old church. This is an unavoidable situation - but they are only a minority after all, and as time goes by, their transformation is only a matter of time.
As for those believers of the alien gods who do not pay much attention to the Holy Light Faith, their biggest feeling at the moment is "peace of mind", because someone finally stood up to control the extreme atrocities of the Holy Light Church—— They didn't seem to notice that Cecil Weekly's "Faith and Church" section not only discussed the Holy Light, but also had the common sense of major churches embedded in it in a subtle way...or rather, they noticed. , but for most ordinary people, theyThe sensitivity in this regard is far less than that of professional clergy.
In Lord Cecil's Mansion, Gawain looked at the report Hetty submitted to him - it contained the sales status of the book "The White Knight" and the distribution status of newspapers in various places, as well as Cecil's report. There was a lot of random investigation of Magic Network programs around the city, and the general direction was basically not beyond his expectations.
"There will be more newspaper review articles and supplements, as well as regular Magic Network programs. The preparatory work of Protestant propaganda has also begun. Mr. Godwin Orlando is ready. Articles will be discussed in newspapers asking whether to establish a new Holy Light Order. In addition, propaganda and guidance personnel in various places have also begun to take action to ensure that those with low literacy rates cannot receive the Magic Network. There are enough people in the signal area to discuss this issue."
Hetty reported on the progress of various tasks, and the ancestor in front of her showed a satisfied smile.
"Very good," Gawain nodded and put down the report materials casually. "We should start this work from the people at the grassroots level - those priests have been aloof for too long, and they have no idea at all. Realize that ordinary people are the foundation of their church. Once ordinary people lose trust and respect for the church, the collapse of the Holy Light Church will not require a single shot.”
Standing high. Rebecca, who had the tattoo on her face, was listening to the conversation between the two with a cute expression on her face (she was here to report the technical information on the Magic Network broadcasting system). At this time, she couldn't help but say: "This can really bring those gods to life." "The sticks were driven out of the Luan Cathedral?"
"What we are doing now is to drive the influence of those 'god sticks' out of the hearts of the civilians in the south, but this is a It's a long-term project," Gawain shook his head. "People's hearts are easy to be shaken, but not so quickly. The Church of 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 drive them out of people's hearts. . Making people question the church is the first step, and establishing a new church is the second step. After that, we will need several years, or even more than ten years, to replace the old doctrine with the new doctrine bit by bit, so that people will recognize it in their bones. Changing customs is not something that can be easily done with a few newspapers and a few programs."
"Wow -" Rebecca's eyes widened in surprise, "It takes so much to change people's minds. "Is it a long time?"
Hetty glanced at the roe deer: "Nonsense, it took you eight years to change the habit of painting a beard on the teacher's face, not to mention what we have to change now. The thoughts of a hundred thousand or even millions of people."
Rebecca stuck out her tongue: "What about the priests in Luan City?"
"They will leave before then - I don't intend to let them stay in the south for that long," Gawain said casually, "It will take a long time to remove the influence of the Holy Light Church, but those priests are different... …To drive them away, all it takes is the anger of the people.”
Hetty couldn't help but frowned: "Can that Amber guy really do it..."
Gawain glanced at Hetty, smiled and shook his head: "Seriously, you Underestimating her."
Hetty seemed dubious: "Really..."
"Amber may be timid when it comes to fighting with others, but when he works at the bottom of society, he has a lot of courage. She has talents beyond your imagination to carry out destruction and infiltration with her own hands," Gawain said as he pulled out a stack of materials from the desk, "You should have seen the Military Intelligence agents coming out of Luan City. "You should also take a look at these things."
Hetty took the materials in confusion and showed an astonished expression while reading them.
“People who support the cathedral and those who oppose the cathedral have begun to confront each other, and cracks have appeared in the priesthood. Rumors about the former Bishop Lemont are circulating in the chapel area, along with them. There are dozens of true and false rumors. The cathedral constantly sends disciplinary monks and papal knights to extinguish those rumors and propaganda materials. If they extinguish one place, two more will pop up. Even in the process, they The curfew, rationing, searches, and interrogations themselves will immediately become new sources of rumors and unstable factors." Gawain looked at Hetty's expression and said unhurriedly, "Amber and the team she led. Always hidden in the crowd, when any event occurs, they are the first to catch the point that can arouse people's attention and debate, and push it a little at the most appropriate position... Then, the crowd's opposition and mutual suspicion It just happened naturally."
Hetty was stunned, and Gawain continued slowly: "During this process, Amber and her team members caught almost all the moments when the priests showed their ugly behavior. These 'moments' have become the pictures and images you and I see, and these pictures and images, after passing through the hands of Godwin Orlando, will become newspapers and leaflets distributed throughout the country, and in the near future will It will become a program broadcast by the Magic Network, and the anger against the priests in Luan Cathedral will spread from the inside of Luan City to the outside of the city, and eventually become one."
Hetty raised her head in disbelief. She looked at Gawain with an expression on her face: "These...did you teach her?"
"I taught her part of it, the most basic part, and then she solved all the details by herself and put her under She has also trained people to become masters in this field," Gawain said with a little sigh in his tone, "She is really... very good at using poisoned daggers."
Hetty was stunned for a moment. She didn't know what to say. She only knew that for the first time, she felt that the half-elf who usually looked annoying and timid... was a strong man.
Even a little chilling.
......
Amber is really good at using poison-quenched daggers, and she has become more and more sure of this recently.
The destruction of Luan City continues, and has gradually reached a critical stage.
Opposition andThe mood of suspicion is spreading from the outer city to the inner city, and the wavering of people's hearts is no longer limited to the civilians. Now, even those clergy who believe in the God of Holy Light have a serious sense of distrust in the cathedral.
In the secret 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 others have been Locked in the underground of the church area and performing penance in the form of penance, there were more people than last time."
In response, Amber just nodded as expected: "The second batch was sent to the inner city. The leaflets have taken effect."
A subordinate couldn't help but sigh: "It's really unexpected... that after the first batch of leaflets were destroyed, there would be priests hiding those propaganda materials in the chapel area..."
"Those gangs of magicians are also human beings. Since they are human beings, they have human hearts," Amber fiddled with the small dagger in her hand, watching the poison-quenched blade glowing slightly blue-purple in the dim starlight. Halo said casually, "When the first batch of flyers entered the city, the priests in the peripheral areas may have just been curious about them and aroused a little suspicion by the contents of the flyers. However, at that time they were actually still Loyal to the church, loyal to the cathedral - but the cathedral itself obviously does not think so. The people in the cathedral do not trust those low-level priests and priests. People are treated as 'potential heretics with wavering beliefs'... and then the situation can only get worse."
"But then again, boss, how do you determine how the cathedral will react. ? How do you know that the cathedral will definitely misjudge the situation in the chapel area?"
Amber glanced at the subordinate who asked: "It's very simple. When the cathedral took action, I went to the chapel area? "The cathedral area is a bit troublesome," Amber said slowly. Before the Brotherhood of Discipline, I hid a large number of leaflets in various chapels. The long blockade had accumulated a lot of high-pressure emotions among the priests, and the appearance of the leaflets led to a decrease in their mutual trust. Under such circumstances, many flyers suddenly appeared. Even the managers of the small church, the first thing they thought of was not suspicion, but that other people in the church were hiding flyers, because they themselves... were actually shaken in their hearts.
"The group of discipline monks probably collected thousands of leaflets from the chapel 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 shocked and admirable expressions of his subordinates, Amber just flipped the dagger in his hand casually: "You young kids still have a lot to learn..."
She raised her wrist, and the poisoned dagger flew out silently in the night. With a soft sound, the dagger was firmly nailed to a pillar in the house.
"It's almost time.Send a message to the headquarters... No matter how slow the reaction of the people in the cathedral is, it is time to realize our existence now, and we must be prepared for the next step. ”
