"They are looking for a scapegoat!" Sylvia immediately gave the answer after reading the relevant reports, saying: "They must have found nothing, but they cannot delay it indefinitely. They must give the people

An explanation, so the organizer of this evangelistic event naturally became their primary target of accountability." As she said that, she showed doubts and said: "But their handling was too fast and too violent, and they directly baptized the person.

Expelling a church or even other churches together is obviously not a radical decision that a politician should make. It seems that the reasons behind this matter are not as simple as it seems on the surface."

After hearing Sylvia's analysis, Leo thought for a moment and said: "You mean to say that the Godless Law has been prepared for a long time, and someone took advantage of this to secretly push the Godless Law to pass Ott.

Constitutional review in the Federal Parliament?”

"Taking an opportunity? Maybe!" Sylvia smiled and said, "Maybe it's not an opportunity, but guidance."

"Guide?" Leo was stunned for a moment, as if he had thought of something, and guessed: "Do you think the people on Emerald Island were made by Ott Federation's own people?"

Sylvia nodded slightly, took a sip of the drink on the table, and said: "The Otter Federation was founded because of religious wars. Almost all of their founding fathers were victims and survivors of religious wars, so

They have always maintained a hostile and exclusive attitude towards religion. If religions in the New and Old Worlds had not been so influential, they might have written religious bans into the constitution at the beginning of the founding of the country, instead of being like

When we treated religious affairs as we did before, we adopted an ambiguous attitude. A country like this, where the core leaders of the country are extremely repulsive and hostile to religion, would actually allow a religion to openly preach in such an officially sanctioned way. This is surprising no matter how you look at it.

It feels weird.”

Leo also agreed very much with what Sylvia said. When he learned about this matter at the time, he also felt a little strange. However, this matter was the internal affairs of the Otter Federation, and what he was concerned about at the time was

Sylvia successfully completed her bloodline promotion, so she didn't think much about it. Looking back now, it's not difficult to feel how weird this permission made by the Ott Federation was.

At this time, Sylvia pulled out a newspaper from the federal capital from a pile of newspapers, handed it to Leo, pointed to one of the small reports on page four, and said, "Look at this."

Leo took it over and looked at it. There wasn't a lot of content, so he finished reading it quickly. The report said that the federal government had started to count the legacies left behind after various churches were expelled.

Leo closed the newspaper and asked, "Do those churches have a lot of property?"

"A lot." Sylvia nodded and said: "Although the Federation never allows churches to preach publicly, it does not refuse the church's investment in various industries of the Federation. According to my understanding, only one city in Bealuk City

In the land, almost more than 90% of various industries have investments from various churches." As she said, she paused and reminded: "Do you still remember the additional conditions the other party put forward when we purchased the smelter?"

Leo thought for a moment and said, "Is that the five percent share?"

"Yes." Sylvia nodded and said: "At first, I thought that the five percent of the shares had been taken by the Beruk City Government or the federal government. Later I found out that those shares had been taken away by three companies respectively.

It was divided among different church organizations."

"Three churches? So many!" Leo was also a little surprised.

"They are the Church of the Mother of God, the Church of the Immobile Water, and the Church of the Mist King." Sylvia said: "Three churches are not too many. Some industries require a dozen churches to divide 10% of the shares.

"

"Why do the names of these churches sound so weird?" Renault frowned.

"Not only the name, but their teachings are even weirder." Sylvia smiled and said: "For example, the Church of the Mother of God, they claim to believe in the mother of all the gods in the world, and the form of the Mother of God

It is a mass of darkness without a fixed form, and this darkness often appears in the form of a black goat in front of her believers, and what is even more interesting is that anyone who sees the Mother of God will die immediately..."

"Wait!" Leo immediately interrupted Sylvia and asked, "Since she died immediately, how did the form of the Mother of God come out?"

"This is the most interesting point," Sylvia asked Leo to calm down and continued: "The Church of the Mother of God is actually born out of another very mysterious church, this church is called the Twins Church, this church

The god of belief is a conjoined twin. One of the conjoined twins is good and the other is evil. One can resurrect the dead, one can turn healthy people into corpses, one can make people lucky, and the other can make people happy.

Get bad luck, so this church is also called the Church of Disaster and Luck."

"The Church of Disaster and Luck? Where have I heard of this church?" Leo showed a pensive look on his face, and soon thought of it, and said: "I remember that the first church to migrate to the New World seemed to be

The Church of Disaster and Luck, right?”

"Yes." Sylvia nodded and said: "So this church has also taken advantage of the forerunners to become one of the most influential churches in the New World. The Church of the Mother of God was born out of the disaster.

And a sentence in the Supreme Twin Code of the Lucky Church, that sentence seems to say, the source of the Twin Gods, the mother of all gods, the black goat of all things, everything begins with you, and everything belongs to you."

"With the emergence of the Mother of God Church, isn't there any resistance from the Twin Churches?" Leo asked again.

"I don't know about this, but judging from the development of the Church of the Mother of God, it should not have been suppressed by the Twin Church." Sylvia shrugged and said: "The Mother of God has released the company that owns our smelting plant.

In addition to shares, they also hold shares in other large and small industries in Beiruk City. The same is true for other churches. In addition, they also own various real estates in the suburbs. It is no exaggeration to say that although the Ot Federation is known as a godless country,

But in fact, religion has a very great influence on this country, but these influences are hidden and unknown."

Leo thought for a while and said: "It seems that the Ott Federation is anxious."

Although it was just a guess, Leo already felt that Sylvia's statement might be true. The Emerald Island incident was probably a play directed and performed by the Ott Federation in order to get the Godless Law passed through constitutional amendments.

Incorporate it into the constitution, and then justifiably expel all churches entrenched in the Otter Federation, and at the same time be able to take over a large amount of church inheritance.

Thinking about it, after the Emerald Island incident, the response of the Ott Federation was incredible. It passed the atheism decree, expelled the church, comforted the victims of Emerald Island, etc., and it was almost flawless.

Not only was the Baptist Church, the protagonist of this incident, unable to react in time, but even the other churches in the Otter Federation probably looked at a loss when they were driven away, and it made people feel that the Otter Federation was well prepared.

What happened was that although the drive to expel the church was hindered in some places, it was quickly resolved without any impact on the entire expulsion.

You must know that the Otter Federation expelled not one or two churches, but dozens of churches that have been entrenched in the Otter Federation for hundreds of years. Leo and Sylvia believed that the difficulty was no less than destroying a country and then destroying it.

Reconstruction, but the Otter Federation completed it so smoothly after the unexpected incident occurred. It can be seen that the entire church expulsion operation was definitely arranged by the Otter Federation in advance and was just waiting for an opportunity or excuse.

Leo suddenly smiled when he thought of this and said: "It seems that we have to be more careful when dealing with people from the Ott federal government in the future. They are so cruel that they even dare to use their own people as bait to find excuses to deal with us two foreigners.

I’m afraid it’s not that difficult.”

Although he expressed concerns about the Otter Federation, Leo's tone did not appear nervous, but was very relaxed. It was obvious that he was just talking and did not care about the possible annexation of the smelting plant by the Otter Federation.

.

"This matter will not end here." Compared to Leo's relaxed attitude, Sylvia looked much more serious and said: "Those expelled churches should not give up their properties just like this. They are definitely

What will we do against the Otter Federation to force the Otter Federation to amend the Godless Law?"

Leo also became a little more serious and said: "Are you saying that those expelled churches may incite neighboring countries to launch war?"

"It's not a possibility, it's a certainty. Think about it, if the countless properties you have accumulated over decades of hard work were taken away by someone with an excuse, what would you do?" Sylvia said in a deep voice: "

I'm afraid you will try your best to regain what you lost, even going to war." As she spoke, she suddenly stopped and said, "If I guessed correctly, the federal government should send a commissioner to Beiruk City.

"

"For the Emerald Island incident?" Leo asked suspiciously.

"No, it should be for us." Sylvia explained: "If the surrounding countries are instigated by various churches to launch a war, then the quality of the weapons will inevitably be a key factor in determining the direction of the war. Our smelter

It is an important material needed for new weapons, so the federal government will definitely send commissioners to the smelting plant to supervise the increase in production."

Although Leo agreed with Sylvia's point of view, he did not think that the Otter Federation would send any commissioners at this time, because he felt that even if the smelting plant was operating at full capacity, he wanted to replace all the troops of the Otter Federation.

I'm afraid it will take several years to install it. It can't be done in a short time, and it will be useless to send a specialist.

However, Leo obviously underestimated the importance that the Outer Federation placed on special steel. The day after the conversation between the two, a special commissioner from the federal government came to Beiruk City and directly approached Leo, hoping to smelt it.

The output of the factory can be increased, and he even said that three smelting plants confiscated from several churches will be merged into his smelting plant. Leo does not need to pay, but Leo only needs to increase the production of special steel within a specific period of time.

Yield.

When Leo was still hesitant about this, Sylvia had already agreed on Leo's behalf, but there was one more condition, which was that Leo was allowed to read the occult books collected by the Otter Federation.

However, this request was directly rejected by the commissioner as soon as it was made. It is obvious that the Ott Federation is very strict in controlling mystical knowledge, but he did not insist on saying anything, but made another proposal, which was to negotiate with the commissioner.

Leo's previous deal with Berger Hans was similar, which was to allow Renault to enter the private library of an ancient family in Beiluk City for a certain period of time to read.

After hearing the commissioner's proposal, Leo immediately said: "This family can't be the Hans family, right? If it is, there is no need, because I have already had a transaction with Berger Hans. In the past two days,

I will go to the Hans family’s secret library to read.”

"It turns out that your Excellency has already had a transaction with Berger Hans." The commissioner was stunned, and then said: "I did think of the Hans family just now, but since you have already had a transaction with Berger Hans,

Then I’ll change it to a family’s secret library. What do you think of the Zorn family?”

"Zorn family?" Leo didn't know much about the powerful families in Belluc City. He felt a little strange when he heard this name, so he turned to look at Sylvia.

Sylvia thought for a while and introduced: "This Zorn family is not a powerful family. They are a family of scribes in the Federation. This family produces literati and scholars. The current dean of the Humanities College in Beiruk is a member of the Zorn family.

"Although their family's history is not old, due to the special nature of the family, their library has collected a large number of books. It is said that even the Federal National Library sometimes needs to borrow some ancient out-of-print books from their family."

After listening to Sylvia's introduction, Leo said nothing more.

Increasing the production of special steel is not just about merging several smelting plants together, adding some workers, and lighting up a few furnaces. There are also many things that need to be dealt with, such as transforming other smelting furnaces to make the smelting furnaces more efficient.

Standardization, retraining steelmaking workers, making them familiar with new smelting procedures, etc.

All in all, the day after the commissioner left, Sylvia was already stationed at the smelter, presiding over the renovation of the smelter and the increase in steel production. Because the federal commissioner was coordinating, although various affairs encountered difficulties

There were some technical troubles, but in terms of manpower and material resources, there were no major problems.

As for Leo, he prepared enough catalysts and fusion agents for a month in the past two days. After that, he was ready to leave the manor. At the invitation of Berger Hans, he went to Gru, a suburb of Beluk.

Hans family private estate in Mt.
