Extraordinary Voyage Chapter 672: [Secret Association·Eye of Wealth]
"I just happened to remember and clean up the spoils of the group of silver knights in [Two-dimensional World], thinking that since they can reach the fifth floor, no matter how bad they are, they should be a bit rewarding. .
Then I found this, and it seems that the effect is not bad. "
As Ivan explained to them, he took an oval black seed from the pocket of the loose home clothes and threw it into the pit that had just been dug out.
Slap——!
The shell cracked, and the seeds quickly took root and sprouted. In a short while, they grew into a large lush tree with dense branches and leaves and white flowers as white as snow. The breeze came, and the fragrant fragrance of flowers filled the small half of the courtyard.
In nature, many plants have bactericidal or insecticidal effects in order to protect themselves, but this kind of "rest tree" actually belongs to a certain kind of lower enchanted plant of wild jasmine, but there is a different kind. The mundane ability, that is-Absolute Spirit.
Don’t talk about being close, just the fragrance of flowers can "kill" the weak newborn spirit like sterilization, more accurately describe it as accelerating disintegration, allowing it to quickly return to the sea of world consciousness, without absorbing the spilled "spiritual origin" "Time to grow.
But it is very good for living creatures, calming restlessness, comforting mood, and assisting sleep.
"Well, today it is the Hurons, Sioux people... These indigenous people living in the core area were forced to leave their homes. Tomorrow, as the "spiritual tide" intensifies, there will only be more and more places on the New World. A hunting ground for ghosts and even evil spirits.
The living space of human beings and the creatures in the material world will become smaller and smaller. Thinking of this future, I...sorrowful!
But as long as we cut off the source, we can stop the continuous expansion of the "spiritual tide" and return peace and harmony to the millions of creatures living on this continent! "
Standing under Kazuki's snow-white wild jasmine, Ivan, with an excellent image, stroked his chest, and said this with a sad expression on his face.
The most excessive thing is that he also used the ability of a "saint" to add a halo effect to his head. If others don't pay their heads, they will simply be sorry for this special effect.
The two girls don't eat him at all.
"Cut~"
Olivia, wearing a flimsy red dress, made a small jump, and stretched out her white arm to hook Irvine's neck in a very **** manner, interrupting his posture, cheeks pressed against her cheeks and smirked:
"Hey, honestly, is this really what you just discovered?"
I didn't find it sooner or later. I just completed the collection of hundreds of thousands of Hurons and took out this kind of treasure. It is about to stick to the forehead without the rabbit or the eagle, and the fool believes this guy's nonsense.
Carefully looking left and right, Ivan stretched out a finger to his lips:
Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
"Giggle..."
"Hehehe..."
Olivia and An Qi looked at each other, their eyebrows curled up like two little foxes eating sweet grapes, covering their mouths and laughing slightly. But in my heart, 10,000 people agree with Aiwen's approach. Although the relationship with the Hurons is pretty good, let's not do business that loses money!
Ivan looked at the two girls who were more beautiful than flowers, and the corners of his lips couldn't help but curl up slightly.
From now on, we will start large-scale planting of this ornamental tree to prevent the birth of weak spiritual bodies, once and for all, to stop the continuous expansion of the spiritual tide from the source.
Maybe there is no need to wait until decades later, the demigod position on the New World decides where it belongs, and the "spiritual tide" that has caused serious disasters is about to come to an end.
And they...then they just need to be responsible for harvesting the "spiritual origin".
......
The other side of the sea.
Three years have passed since Philip II completed his marriage and was crowned emperor in the spring of 186 Haiyuan calendar.
Of course, the so-called religious "reform" is just a gentle term.
Because there is only one method of reform, and that is-kill! As long as you kill all the heretics in your own territory, the reform will be completed naturally.
In the past three years or so, the old and new religions, which belonged to the "eternal fire", are sharply opposed, coupled with the fusion of beliefs in the "primordial god" Tirentius of the original Holy Lothar Empire area, it is simply a dead end. Blood flows into a river.
Philip II established the "Fire Court" and issued the "Blood Edict", and the traditional "Eternal Fire" sect established the Inquisition. The two sides are in the vast territory of the Hilius Empire and the entire "Eternal Fire" belief radiation area. The brutal fighting and persecution started.
I really want to say that the new world where ghosts and monsters are rampant is in the eyes of many "eternal fire" believers, perhaps the Garden of Eden, a god.
Because in this short period of less than four years, more than one million believers on both sides have died due to religious persecution! It is even worse than the class antagonism that happened in Ilya.
Be aware that in the current Hilius Empire, even with all the kingdoms that have been conquered in the past two hundred years, the total population is only 50 million, and the total number of the original Hilius on the Alfonso Peninsula Less than ten million.
All this can only be described as tragic!
Among them, most people believe in the Frisian kingdom of the impersonal **** "primitive god" Tirentius, which is also the hardest hit by the conflict of beliefs.
Moreover, these Frisians, who are good at doing business, not only have to withstand the continuous attacks of the "eternal fire" side of the court, but also bear more than half of the heavy tax burden of the entire huge empire.
Under the interweaving of internal and external pressures, some unknown changes in this land have begun to happen quietly.
As for the gears of history, have they begun to turn? No one knows for the time being...
The Kingdom of Frisia, Antwerp.
In a hidden and luxurious venue, whale oil candles are brightly lit, and a certain high-pitched speech is constantly agitating here.
"What about'eternal fire'? What about'burning fire sect'? What about'primordial god' Tirentius? There is actually only one faith in the world, and that is money!!!"
William Orange, chairman of the Executive Committee of the Dutch Banking Group, stood on the podium, looking at the large group of well-dressed gentlemen and ladies below, clenching his fists hard, almost suppressing the voice that has been suppressed in my heart for a long time. Come out:
"Gentlemen! When money stands up and speaks, truth must be silent!"
"The future of the world belongs to the'Eye of Wealth'!"
At this time, the following business giants with strong influence in the Kingdom of Frisia and even the surrounding countries couldn't help but get infected, and stood up to give them the warmest applause.
Wow, wow...
"That's great, the future of the world belongs to the "Eye of Wealth"!"
"The future of the world belongs to the'Eye of Wealth'!"
Half an hour later, the participating members of the association had left in batches for safety, and no one dared to stay long under the current austere situation.
William Orange watched the last guest leave, muttering to himself:
"Going out this step, we have no chance to take a step back. We will just wait for...the weakest opportunity for Hilius."
Candle light shines.
On the wall behind him, there is a pure golden eye between the open-footed compass and the upward-opening square ruler. That is the emblem and code name of the secret association-"Eye of Wealth".
It is also a powerful financial system that spans various countries built with the banking industry as a link, and belongs to an alliance of supercapitalists.
And their purpose of uniting together is obviously not to connect feelings, but to use the wealth in their hands to say to those in power: No!
In this secret association of "Eye of Wealth" that assembled the Kingdom of Frisia and many surrounding countries, many big bourgeoisie, although not everyone is a believer in the "Lord of Gold", they must all be gold believer.
Everyone agrees from the bottom of their hearts that "the prosperity of the world is for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit", and even more that "money" is the greatest right in the world!
However, the bourgeoisie is obviously at a disadvantage compared with the inherent royal power in terms of force, even with the help of the "Fortune Church".
If you want to fight against the tyrannical tyranny that controls violence, and replicate [capital] in various countries like fission, you must find another more powerful, concise, and efficient system, and then vigorously promote the trend.
Use the power of the trend to quickly grow yourself!
Although not everyone has Aiwen’s vision of transcending the times, there is also a natural waver in the torrent of the times. This is William Orange, who took over the Dutch bank group at the age of 40. Sir, it is clearly one of the best.
What if I can't mass produce so many titled knights?
Then gather the crowd, you have a "tyrant" and I have a "mob"!
An ancient system has once again bloomed with new flowers: "democracy", "personal freedom, equal rights", this time it is not just just like Ilya, but really implementing it. In place.
The foundation of the theory is very beautiful, "innate human rights" and the separation of powers.
In the modern era when private ownership is more and more prosperous, the masses of people can of course surrender their power voluntarily and enter into contracts to establish a country in order to protect their lives, freedom, and property.
But sovereignty belongs to everyone. If the state embodiment violates the contract, people can overturn it, and further extend the principle of "sovereignty in the people", that is, "democracy"!
The essence of "democracy" is the will of most people, or directly satisfying the selfish desires of most people, which coincides with "money supremacy", which is exactly what the super capitalists need.
As long as I adapt to this system, "parasites are so cool!" and "No one can let me go back in time!" will become the voice of the people. Then they turned into vanguards against the dictatorship of the king's power, whether it is to provide faith or promote trends, they are excellent carriers.
On the surface, everyone has a sacred vote to choose their favorite democratic leader, and then determine the fate of the country. In order to vote, democratic leaders naturally need to work hard to improve the welfare of the people and work for the well-being of every voter.
It's a great example of how everyone can win together! Only the feudal kingship loses.
But is this really the case?
The answer is obviously no.
First of all, democratic leaders do not have any countermeasures against public opinion, nor can they prevent the existence of open political enemies. They can only rely firmly on the bourgeoisie who holds capital behind them.
Secondly, it is emphasized that everyone is responsible for the country. The other side is that no one is responsible. The one-person-one-vote system is the easiest to be broken by each, and then divided and bought.
Finally, the country is very prone to populism, and the opinions of the real elite will be ignored and drowned in the surging public opinion. Large groups of fools are the easiest to be controlled by those in power, and public opinion tools will inevitably become a weapon.
Under the affirmative system~IndoMTL.com~, a hustler and a conscientious worker have the same power to determine the future and destiny of the country? It's really a paradox, aren't they stupid?
Innocent!
The "Eye of Wealth" does not want [romanship] nor a country to be prosperous and strong. What they want is money, and [capital] is always increasing.
Under the rules they set, wealth is the greatest right!
The evil beast whose appearance is beautiful and called "democracy" is [capital]'s most powerful weapon to devour the world.
It is precisely by virtue of this theoretical basis and political system tailored for [capital]. William Orange has been initiated by the true God himself to initiate the "Holy Baptism" and has become a "saint" of the "God of Capital and Wealth".
The "Black Wing God" gets this tailor-made political system, and as long as it gets the support and sincere approval of the most dynamic part of the capital in the world, it will not take too long to condense the [capital priesthood] .
The "Eyes of Wealth", an alliance of super-capitalists, may really be able to swallow an entire world from the foundation.
