Chapter 38
"I am a pastor of Storm Church, praise Goddess!" Margaret lifts the head slightly, and glanced at Connor, whispered:
"Storm Church?" Hearing Margaret's identity, Connor was immediately shocked, but he still said: "Praise Goddess, and may Goddess be with me!"
Storm Church and Earth God Church are the Kaman Empire Except for these two orthodox religions, any religious organization in Kaman is a cult. In the Kaman Empire, the ruling classes of the Kaman Empire represented by the royal family, capitalists, and the church are in a state of interdependence and mutual support. You have me in you and you in me.
The church needs to abide by the imperial religious law and must not interfere in the imperial’s internal affairs. At the same time, it is stipulated in the imperial constitution that the church not only enjoys the privilege of tax exemption and independent armed forces, but also the change of power of the church. It was decided within the church that the imperial administration should not interfere.
Among the two Major Sects, Storm Church appears to be more powerful in all respects than Earth God Church, which is relatively moderate in doctrine. On the west coast of the empire, in the traditional sphere of influence of Storm Church, even the administration of the empire must be influenced by them.
Connor remembers that George told him that just two months ago, Guacetino, a famous textile merchant in Ruen City, opened one of the Ruen City Storm Church bishop Constantine because he was at a banquet. As a joke, hundreds of workers in his three factories were called by Storm Church to strike! At first, the textile merchant Guacetino was a hard bone, and he kept holding up without bowing his head. However, the strike lasted for a full week, causing the textile factory of Guacetino to lose 10,000 golden pounds.
Guacetino can’t support it anymore. I want to ask someone to talk to Constantine, but Constantine doesn’t even kill Guacetino at all. Guacetino has no choice but to It could have been stripped naked in front of the church door of Ruen Storm Church and knelt for a night before reluctantly meeting Constantine. As for the final result, Guacetino kissed Constantine's boots in front of all his workers. , And publicly donated 10,000 golden pound to Storm Church, and the strike at his factory was quelled.
Although this incident ended with a victory for the church and fiercely slapped the capitalists, it severely intensified the conflict between the ruling class represented by the local capitalists and aristocrats in Ruen and the church, George I have quietly told Connor that the House of Commons in Ruen City is secretly co-branding a letter to the headquarters of Storm Church in Bernabéu, the imperial capital, requesting to replace Constantine's bishop position and give Ruen's Storm Church a new bishop!
"Mister Connor, are you also a believer of Goddess?" Connor just said casually for the occasion, but Margaret seemed to be serious and looked at Connor with surprise.
"I······" Connor was a little hesitating, trying hard to organize the language, trying to explain all of this, the dance music played by the band in the banquet hall slowly fell , A handsome young man, jumped over to Connor, looked at Connor, looked at Margaret said with a smile: "Connor, you know Miss Margaret?"
"Young Master George, I I just met Mister Connor!" Margaret explained to George with a smile, and then immediately said to Connor, "It's nice to be able to dance with a gentleman like Mister Connor!" After speaking, Margaret took a deep look at Connor. , Floating away.
"Do you know Connor? You are great! Originally I wanted to introduce Margaret to you, but I didn't expect that you gave me a surprise!" Sitting in the banquet hall On the sofa in the dimly lit corner, George hammered Connor's shoulder, winked his eyes and said:
Faced with George's ridicule, Connor had no intention of this, and he barely squeezed a happy smile on his face, thinking. After a while, he picked up an orange from the table in front of him, and while peeling the orange, he pretended to ask casually: "George, since this Margaret appeared at your father's birthday party, then what is her origin? You You should know it too?"
When Connor asked this question, George extended the hand and pointed to Connor, with a meaningful smile on his face. "You know Connor you are the most concerned. Your careful Rebecca has just disappeared, so you want to empathize?"
Connor's action of peeling oranges gave me a little shock, and my heart immediately became didn't know whether to cry Get up or laugh, George’s brain circuit can always think of men and women, but it’s good to think that George thinks that way. It saves himself from making up stories to deceive him, and Connor has no explanation. In the orange stuffed entrance, Connor murmured: "Quickly tell me, what is the origin of that angel..."
George carefully scanned the surroundings and found that no one was paying attention. While holding him and Connor, he whispered and whispered, "Remember what I told you: "Remember what I told you about Guachetino? "
Connor nodded, how could he have forgotten this kind of thing.
"Before half a month, the House of Lords had 17 nobles headed by the Marquis of Harry, and the House of Commons had rich merchants. The 19 members of Congress led by Mr. Del, a total of 36 people, secretly jointly initiated a proposal to the Storm Church headquarters, suggesting that Storm Church be dismissed from Constantine. If Storm Church adopts their proposal, they will take the name of the two houses of Ruen City. One hundred thousand golden pound will be donated to Storm Church. If Storm Church’s answer is no, then all industries under the 36 councillors will stop donating to Storm Church indefinitely! "George tried his best to keep the calm in his voice, but Connor can still feel the excitement in his voice.
In the current era, the reason why the church can fight against the ruling class of the empire is the most The important reason is that the majority of the lower class people trust them. Compared with the king who rules them, the people are more willing to believe in the Spiritual God they believe in. However, it is a pity that the sacred incarnation in the hearts of the people follows the storm. More than 90% of Goddess clergymen who will walk on the earth are sorrowful on the surface, and secretly showing male thieves and female prostitutes.
The donations made by nobles and capitalists to Storm Church are actually just one thing. A protection fee to protect their factories and the estate will not go on strike! With the more extravagant life of the clergy in these years, the "donations" they demand from the capitalists and nobles are more and more frequent each time!
