Chapter 291 Faithfulness
Helga Strait.
Martin Luther looked at the other side of the strait. This was supposed to be the front line of the Holy See's defense line, but the relationship between the Holy See and the Parliament has eased over the years - although there were some frictions, it did not have much impact on the general direction. Although this place was nominally the front line, it became increasingly prosperous because of the maritime trade. Even the maritime trade federation on the other side also had a large number of believers because it often traded with the Holy See.
The parliament also knew the situation here, but there was not much stopping it. It only restricted the influence of the Holy See only along the strait. Of course, this is also because the Holy See has some measure and is more restrained.
The Helga Strait is ultimately a nominal line of defense. The Holy See built a heavy city on the side of the Strait - Helme City, and Martin Luther is the Archbishop here.
"Did you see the star that night? It was very bright." Martin Luther looked at the Strait and suddenly spoke.
A monk standing next to him said, "I saw it, and I heard that the Council launched an artificial satellite into the sky, which had been destroyed by Priest Sanders."
Although the Holy See blocked this matter, it was not a secret matter for the top leaders of the Holy See. They even noticed the fluctuations in the divine art of the Great Prophecy.
The monk continued, "I didn't expect that the council could create even the stars."
Martin Luther said: "John, you don't have to be too surprised. I have studied their satellites, but they are not big, and at most they will not exceed one thousand pounds. It is not difficult to directly transmit them to space through teleportation arrays. At that time, you only need to push them to make the satellites reach a predetermined speed and they can orbit around Gaia. In fact, their teleportation arrays are more worthy of attention. If they want to send the satellites into precise orbits, their one-way teleportation arrays cannot deviate too much. If they can be accurately transmitted to outer space, they can also be transmitted to the hinterland of the Holy See."
The man called John was a little surprised: "You still study this?"
Although the Holy See also began to study magic, paying attention to the latest magic theories and improving magic skills based on these theories, most priests are not very proficient, and many of them have only a little understanding.
"Isaac has been proposing this theory for hundreds of years, and it is not difficult to understand. It's just that the parliament has been able to use their old theory to send satellites to the sky, but the Holy See has not changed much over the years."
Martin's voice sounded a little low, John turned his head and looked over, seeing Martin still looking up at the sky: "Have you not given up on your theory yet? You must know that if the Presbyterians agree with your ideas, they will not send you to Helm City."
As the border of the Holy See, the trade of the Highgar Strait is also very prosperous. Being sent here is not a chore, but it is a place far away from the center of the Holy See. For a saint like Martin Luther, it seems a bit unsatisfactory.
"John, it's nothing bad for me to come here. Helm City is prosperous and far away from the center of the Holy See. It has developed business and people's thoughts are more open, which is more suitable for my theoretical development."
The influences are mutual. Some people believe in the church in the Holy Alliance, and the pastors of the church are also influenced by many of the ideas of the monks. They are more open to religion, and can even be said to be less pious.
"The Holy See has controlled the right to interpret the sacred texts, and all oracles can only be explained by the minister. This is not God's original intention. The sacred texts are God's will. As long as you believe in devoutly, no one can interpret the sacred texts. Moreover, only the sacred texts are God's will, and neither the sacred texts nor the Presbyterian Church. Now the gods can no longer bring down miracles, nor communicate with the lower realms, and there are no oracles.
“‘Just by faith’, faith can be saved, and everyone can communicate directly with the gods through the sacred texts without the need for a church.”
John Simmons was not too surprised by Martin Luther's words. As Martin's friend and colleague, he had long known these theories and saw them gradually improve.
John said, "So, you think the church is not necessary, and it is no wonder that the Holy See will transfer you from the center. I must say that without the church, we will not be able to resist the Supreme Council."
Martin Luther nodded slowly: "Yes, but the development of the Holy See is too slow, almost step by step behind the parliament, so it cannot be developed. We must untie the shackles that are bound to us. The parliament has already dropped satellites in space, and some of our clergy are still insisting that the main star under our feet is the center and the sun is revolving around us. Faith is not blindly following, and all faiths must rely on the soil of reality to grow."
Especially in this era when the gods were not revealed, Martin Luther added a sentence in his heart.

Jiayi's laboratory.
Yancy and Fessenden came together. Their electromagnetic communication technology had been initially improved and they were now preparing to set up a communication network, but they did not come today for this.
"So you came here because someone bought a machine tool from you, and you were unsure about it?" Jiayi asked.
The two looked at each other and nodded at the same time: "Yes, now the United Chamber of Commerce has dropped significantly due to the advantages of machine tools. If it weren't for the fact that most of our current products were new products invented by ourselves, Mosach's Chamber of Commerce would almost be swept by us except those who do material business. If we provide machine tools to other Chamber of Commerce, wouldn't we be cultivating competitors for ourselves?"
If it were not for the restriction of the Supreme Council, the United Chamber of Commerce's business would not be limited to current products. At least for the textile industry, their machine tools are big killers. However, the United Chamber of Commerce is more of a business of magical items. Although this area is profitable, it is not too prosperous because of its small audience, and the market is not large. Only the household appliances they are promoting now are cheap enough and are daily necessities, but the most profitable.
When it comes to home magic props, they now don't even have competitors.
After thinking about it, Jiayi said: "Actually, it's not impossible to sell. Now anyone can see the convenience of magical machines. If the Supreme Council had not separated the patents in the paper and formulated a stricter protection bill, our machine tools would have been circulated long ago. But other chambers of commerce will develop their own machine tools sooner or later. We might as well start the machine tool business, earn more profits, and suppress the research of machine tools corresponding to other chambers of commerce. Who would be willing to spend a lot of money to study? I just don't know who is so visionary? What kind of price is willing to pay."
Jiayi didn't say anything, but everyone understands that most of the major chambers of commerce in Moshache are of great origin. If you want to gain a foothold, you will at least have the support of the purple-robed mage behind it. For example, the Scoll Chamber of Commerce has legendary mages behind it. This is a magic world, and it is impossible to simply rely on business without other factors.
"It is said that it is from your Silver Sword Empire Iris family, a middle-aged fat man, maybe you still know him." Yanxi said with a smile.
In fact, they don’t care much about diffusion of machine tools. The reason they study machine tools and life-like magic props is more for interest, not just for making money. Perhaps the United Chamber of Commerce will have some opinions, but they cannot fully object. The machine tools belong to the studio of the three of them and do not belong to the United Chamber of Commerce.
"Iris family?" Jiayi sounded a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he heard it. "I don't have any impression, you know, I don't have much interest in aristocratic sensation."
But he was even more satisfied when he heard it was the Silver Sword Empire, not because it was from his own country, but because the Silver Sword Empire was far away from Moshache, and there would be no business conflicts with the United Chamber of Commerce. Although it is possible to ignore the United Chamber of Commerce, as a partner, you should still consider the other party’s ideas.
