Chapter 1,000 The Book of the Holy Word
"Three Hundred and Forty-Six Sages?" After Leo saw the content in the book, he quickly recalled the relevant information in his mind.
In the entire tomb of the Sea God Church, there is only one book that records the number 346, which is the Book of the Word of Tato Frank.
The person who wrote this book is the most famous saint in the Church of the Sea God and the most famous person in the history of Viron's world sailing. He is called the harbor builder by the world.
Born in the early days of the Great Sailing, he was an ordinary seaman in Randall. When he was young, he worked as a Flange Navy. Later, he was killed at sea and rescued by pirates and became a pirate. Later, he took a pirate ship to plunder all over the world, gradually growing from an ordinary pirate sailor to a pirate captain.
At that time, heroes emerged on the sea, and various legendary figures continued to emerge. Tatoflan's reputation was nothing in front of these legendary figures. At best, it was just a pirate leader with a small reputation, and his reputation was entirely due to his luck.
Compared with other pirates, Tatoflan can always encounter some merchant ships that are not stronger than themselves, but are valuable, so his pirate ships can always benefit greatly at the cost of extremely small casualties. Therefore, some people speculate that Tatoflan probably has accumulated a lot of wealth at hand.
Just as everyone began to look at Tatoflan's wealth, Tatoflan made a very amazing move. He donated all the wealth he had robbed to the Church of the Sea God, and he was also baptized by the church and became a clergy.
Tatoflan, who lost his wealth, also lost the value of being noticed. In the following years, he carried out the necessary practice of some clergy in the church. Just when everyone was willing to become a clergy in a branch church of the Sea God Church, he drove his pirate ship to sea and completed a voyage around the world, becoming the seventh person to complete this feat.
And he also sailed the most mileage around the world because he sailed along the edge of the three continents, which means that he has been to all the coastlines that humans can reach on the three continents.
After he returned to Landauer, he spent a lot of money to publish the same article in the Flan Daily and other newspapers with the largest circulation in various continents. The article occupying six pages describes the coastal areas suitable for building ports on the coastlines of various continents of Viron, and counts about 400 places.
At first, some people thought Tatoflan's move was just a sensational one, and no one would believe it. Until a very good geologist saw this article, he found that one of the locations marked was not far from his exploration location, so he went to check it out and found that the situation in the bay was indeed as well suited for the construction of a harbor pier as written in the article.
So he published this discovery in the internal journal of his society, and soon other scholars went to other places recorded in the article based on his discovery, and the result was the same.
As a result, the governments of the three continents immediately paid attention to this article and built ports according to the locations recorded in the article. Now nearly 80% of all port cities in the world are built based on the articles of Tatoflan.
However, Tatoflan's global sailing seemed to have exhausted his luck. On the third day after returning to Randall, when he came out of the tavern to prepare to return to the church, he happened to meet a ship owner who he had robbed in the past. The ship owner was in debt and his family was destroyed because of his robbery. At that time, the ship owner recognized Tatoflan and drew out his knife and stabbed Tatoflan seventy-three times in a row. Tatoflan died on the spot.
After Tatoflan's death, the Church of the Sea God organized his relics and found that he wrote a book in which he claimed that he had been inspired by the Sea God, saw the past and the future, and recorded the contents of these views in accordance with the style of the Holy Word used by the Church to record prophecies. The contents of the whole book are words like the ravings of a psychopath.
At first, the Church of the Sea God did not care about this book, and only buried it with it as a relic of Tatofland. However, as the article of Tatofland began to have an impact, Tatofland was also attracted by people again, and the Church of the Sea God also began to re-examine Tatofland and his relics.
Finally, in the fiftieth year after Tatofland's death, all the places mentioned in Tatofland's article were built into ports, and the Church of the Sea God began to enfeoff Tatofland, and retake out its relics, edited and published, and named it the Book of Words of Tatofland.
There are a total of 1,650 prophecies in the Book of the Word of Tato, of which more than 700 are what happened before the book was completed, more than 600 are prophecies that have been cracked, and more than 200 are prophecies that have not been cracked. Because of the number and accuracy of these prophecies, this book, the Words of the Century of the Lord of the Sky, and the Earthly Words of the Church of the Hill King, have become the three major prophecies in the world of Viron.
The 346 sages come from the 346 prophecy of the Book of the Holy Word. This prophecy is also called the door opening language. This language only mentions one thing, that is, Tatoflan once dreamed that 346 sages went to the temple of the sea god and shouted the name of the sea god in front of the temple gate. At this time, the gate of the temple slowly opened and the sea god walked out of the back door of the gate.
This language is not only highly valued within the Church of the Sea Gods, but even some occult scholars who like to study prophecy pay special attention to this prophecy, because this prophecy is the only prophecy involving gods in the entire Tato Frankish Book of the Book of Words of Tato.
"They want to make a sage?" When recalling the contents of Tato Frank's Word, especially the prophecy, Leo soon realized what happened to the more than 300 dead who were not recorded every year.
"It should be, I just don't know what method they use to create sages." Sylvia nodded, then said with an excited look: "But I care more about another thing."
"What's the matter?" Leo said inexplicably.
"Sea God Temple." Sylvia responded simply.
Leo didn't need any other words, so he immediately understood what Sylvia meant.
As Sylvia said, the Temple of the Sea God is indeed the most important place to pay attention to. Since the Church of the Sea God finds more than 300 people to create sages every year, there must be a place to use these sages. In other words, the Church of the Sea God of the Sea God of the Sea God of the Landau has found the Temple of the Sea God and can reach the temple.
In the Kingdom of Ingres, the Ingres and the Sea God Church both claimed that the Temple of the Sea God is in the waters of the Ingres, and the Sea God Church of the Landau has always been a negative attitude towards this statement. However, the Ingres' royal family has mastered the Sea God's scepter, and their voice is greater, and believers believe more. Even the local believers in Landau, think that the Temple of the Sea God is actually near the Ingres.
"If they really found the Temple of the Sea God, why didn't they announce it?" Leo said with a little confusion: "If they announced it, it would definitely be a heavy blow to the Ing royal family, and it would have a huge impact on the believers of the Sea God Church, and it could even affect the Secular Power of the Sea God Church in the World."
Randall's Sea God Church has always been at a disadvantage in the fight with the Ing royal family. This is mainly because Randall's Sea God Church does not have a magical artifact that can represent the authority of the Sea God, so the Sea God Church has always tried every means to find some legendary sea God artifacts, but unfortunately there has been no result.
However, if Randall's Sea God Church really grasped the whereabouts of the Temple of the Sea God and could even take people to the Temple of the Sea God, then the impact of this matter would definitely be far more than a Sea God Artifact. By then, the Ing royal family's statement about the location of the Temple of the Sea God will be self-defeating, and Randall's Sea God Church will inevitably be replaced and become the center of the Sea God Church in the World of Viron.
"You're thinking too simple!" Sylvia shook her head and said, "If you're right, the Church of the Sea Gods of the Landau had probably known the location of the Sea Gods of the Sea Gods a long time ago, even before the Ing royal family crossed the sea, and they even knew about the Three Hundred and Forty-Six Sages. Otherwise, how could the number of people who could not meet before the Book of Words came out?"
"I didn't expect this." Leo was stunned for a moment and said, "You are right. Maybe I was wrong from the beginning. The prophecy in the Book of Words is not only the future, but also the past. The three hundred sages recorded by Tatofland may be images of the past."
"Think about it, the Church of the Sea Gods of Randall has not announced this to the public for such a long time, and even when competing with the Ing royal family for the orthodox sea Gods, it did not use it to turn the situation around. This is not just an explanation of its own problems." Sylvia tapped the table with his fingers, thinking, and said: "If it were the past, the Church of the Sea Gods of the Sea Gods would be worried about the Fran Empire, because once the Church of the Sea Gods of the Sea Gods announced the location of the Temple of the Sea Gods, the influence of the Church of the Sea Gods will expand rapidly, and it will inevitably affect it at that time.
The Fran Empire ruled in the south. Now the Sea God Church does not announce the location of the Sea God Temple, so I am more afraid of other churches, because once it is announced, in this era when the gods disappear, the Sea God may be the only true god in the world of Viron, and unlike other gods, they can only enter through other methods through incarnation. In addition, the current world's dependence on the ocean, the Sea God Church's influence in the World of Viron will expand to an unprecedented level, and may even unify the faith in the World of Viron."
"The Sea God Church has such a great influence?" Leo was stunned, feeling a little surprised.
"Last year, I saw in a survey data about believers in the Orthodox Church that the church with the largest number of pan-believers on the three continents of the World of Viron is actually the Church of the Sea God." Sylvia explained: "Although the number of devout believers is far from being compared with other Orthodox churches, there are too many pan-believers. Once you know where the Temple of the Sea God is located and know that the Sea God is sleeping there, no matter whether the Sea God shows miracles in front of them, they will soon turn from pan-believers to devout believers. This is definitely a threat to other churches. As long as the Sea God Church in Randall dares to announce the location of the Temple of the Sea God, it will inevitably be besieged by other churches, and it will not be surprising that they are beaten into a fallen cult."
After hearing Sylvia's words, Leo no longer asked other questions about this matter. He was not interested in this struggle in faith and power, nor did he intend to get involved. He was more concerned about his own affairs, so he asked: "Is there any place that we can use this matter?"
"Of course there is." Sylvia smiled and said, "Whether it is the three hundred sages or the location of the Sea God Temple, it can bring us considerable benefits, but this requires careful operation, otherwise it will be easy to backfire."
As he spoke, Sylvia walked back and forth in the room for two times, then seemed to have thought of something, quickly walked to the desk, took out a beautifully crafted sticky note from the desk drawer, quickly wrote a few lines on it, then put it into an envelope dedicated to Black Castle, sealed it with wax, covered the ring with the Belmont family badge, and then picked up the bell on the table and shook it.
Before the bell had dissipated from the room, the housekeeper walked in from outside the door, saluted Sylvia, and said, "Master, what are your instructions?"
"Send someone to hand over this letter to Bishop Barron of the Church of the Sea God." Sylvia ordered while handing over the letter in her hand.
The butler took the letter and bowed and left.
"Biography of Barron?" Leo immediately searched for the information of this person after hearing Sylvia's words and said, "That hardliner in the Sea God Church? The commander-in-chief of the Sea God Church fleet?"
After the Kingdom of Ingre became the overlord of the sea, controlling the ocean route brought huge benefits to the Kingdom of Ingres. Such huge benefits naturally aroused the coveting of the Landor Gods Church, which also has maritime authority. Therefore, the Landor Gods Church of Landor always wanted to form a church-only fleet.
They hope to control a sea area through this fleet, or master a route, etc., and also gain huge benefits through this.
Unfortunately, neither the Flan Empire nor the Kingdom of England wanted such a fleet to appear. The Empire of England did not want to have a force beyond its control, while the Kingdom of England was completely worried about the food seized by the Church of the God of the Sea God.
So I know that due to obstacles from all parties, this fleet has never been formed. Although the fleet has not been formed, the personnel needed for the fleet have been settled early. The commander-in-chief of the fleet is Bishop Barron, who often talks about jihad and serves as heretic magistrates for many years.
