leading to the throne

Chapter 128
"Although I have heard of it, I don't know much about Christianity."

Colin told the truth.

He was actually very curious about Christianity. He had heard the name a few times before, and wondered about the origin of this sect.In my spare time, I also searched for information about Christianity.

However, in this era when the Internet has not yet been fully popularized and various information channels are in the ascendant, even a sect that can be seen everywhere is not so easy to figure out the origin.In other words, just because this sect can be seen everywhere, it seems that everyone can say a few words, but they can't falsify or prove it, so that the more you ask and search, the more confused you become.Coupled with the limited information on the Internet, most of it is needed for missionary work, and most of it is propaganda slogans.

At this time, when someone asked him, Colin suddenly realized that this might be an opportunity to learn about Christianity.

So, he asked: "Mr. Mayor, why did you ask about this matter? It has something to do with me? If you don't mind, please introduce this sect to me."

Mayor Yadan smiled and said: "I have heard of it, but I don't understand it. This is normal. Although Christianity appeared very early, it has always had little influence in the Old World, but it rose along with the New World..."

Hearing this, Colin couldn't help recalling in his mind the scene of the world that "He" saw when he was on the throne; he thought of the twisted, wriggling and terrifying figure in the New World.Immediately, a tingling and erosion gushed out from the depths of his memory, which made him startled, realizing that he could not recall rashly and carefully without leaving that special environment!

Yadan didn't seem to notice Ke Lin's strange behavior, and was still saying, "...When I was studying in the New World, I met many missionaries. The characteristic of this sect is that everyone is very firm and believes that they are It is correct to believe that all behaviors and races that do not conform to the teachings are evil and depraved, and they need to be saved."

As he listened, Colin couldn't help paying attention. He felt that these descriptions were not positive information, and he was puzzled.

"There is no need to doubt," Yadan smiled wryly, "From top to bottom, they are such a group of people who are either black or white, and only identify themselves as white, so it is very difficult to deal with, and the Archbishop of the Central Diocese who came here this time, It has a very high status in Christianity."

Immediately afterwards, he briefly introduced the five major diocesan systems of Christianity, and named them. The bishops of the five major dioceses are often candidates for the next Pope.

"In short, this is a difficult person to serve, and he is someone Bolsenburg can't afford. I have been having a headache, how can I satisfy the archbishop, until I heard not long ago that the archbishop liked your thesis very much. Yadan's voice gradually lowered, and he seemed a little ashamed, "Although I don't know why a theologian likes scientific papers, but I think..." His voice became even softer, "If I can invite you to receive him, maybe the situation will be better." better."

Colin's expression changed slightly.

On the opposite side, Mayor Yadan explained quickly: "Of course, you can refuse, but maybe you can listen to my proposal and sincerity first? We will not let you waste your precious time on this matter, but There will be rewards. In addition, I think this reception will be of some benefit to you, because the archbishop did not come alone, but also a whole team, including top figures from all walks of life."

Looking at Mr. Mayor in front of him, Colin fell into thought.

Reception, or not reception, this is actually not a problem, because if you agree to this matter, you can not only continue to ask for leave and fish with pay, but more importantly, what can be better than being next to a Christian archbishop? Is this sect false or true?

However, Ke Lin also had to consider the risks involved and the problems that might be involved.

The first thing that bears the brunt is that religion involves mystery, and there must be a great existence behind Christianity, and what kind of level is the archbishop organized in this way on the road to the extraordinary?
So whether to agree or not, Colin still needs to think about it.

"You don't need to give an answer immediately." Noticing Ke Lin's pensive look, Mayor Yadan said very understandingly.

Colin nodded.

Although the mayor wanted to make himself a contribution, at least he was not disgusting, not to mention that the other party had studied in the New World, so he could ask about the situation in the New World if he had time.After all, he still has lingering fears about the monsters entrenched in the mainland in his memory, and he always feels that there is far more than mystery and extraordinary involved behind it.

Thinking of this, Colin realized that if he wanted to learn the most authentic scenery of the New World from the mouths of foreign students, he didn't need to be limited to a mayor.

"It's not just the government agencies, there are so many industries and many employees, so there must be a lot of samples coming back. After all, these days, those who go out for further studies will never be willing to give in to small things."

As he was thinking, he chatted casually with Yadan, making indirect remarks intentionally or unintentionally.

The mayor of Bolsenburg didn't seem to think too much, following Kling's guidance, he said what he cared most about: "In this era, the old continent has declined, and several wars have destroyed the ancient continent. The foundation and backbone, now, whether it is science and technology, or social science and humanities, the New World is the temple. Anyone who has a little bit of pursuit will want to go to the New World. Of course, most of them will not come back, so our The brain drain is serious."

Yadan couldn't help but shook his head, feeling very emotional.

Ke Lin said: "But there are also many people, like Mr. Mayor, who chose to come back?"

"That's no way, because our situation there is not good," Yadan said with a wry smile: "When we were in Clovis, everyone was Clovis, so we didn't feel much, but when we arrived in the New World, we just Minority groups are exposed to many things that they don’t usually feel, and they suffer a lot of discrimination and suppression. On the other hand, employment is also a big problem.”

"Employment? Will there be problems?" Ke Linqi said: "You are all outstanding and elite, and you still worry about not being able to find a job in the New World?"

"Of course there is a problem. The majors we can study are limited." Yadan was still sighing, with a look of nostalgia on his face, "When the international students from the New World come back, most of them will choose to work in politics or the public. Because in the old In mainland China, majors such as law, finance, literature, and ancient languages ​​are more likely to study in the New World than science and engineering. Therefore, when we come back, we will either work in law or in the media. Most of them will choose to enter the government system like me, starting as a affairs officer."

Law, finance, media, government affairs...

Colin narrowed his eyes and understood.

He recalled what he heard from a friend in his previous life that although industry can promote the progress of human society, those who are subject to the distribution of benefits are not as good as those who can shape social consensus.

The friend who was engaged in the manufacturing industry often even laughed at himself, saying that he was a craftsman, and he seemed to be admired, but he was actually a coolie. In the public examination, the units that can be selected are also very limited, because the recruitment majors of real power units often have nothing to do with science and engineering.

"The situation in Clovis always feels more dangerous. People who go to the New World for further studies come back, and they are born with a psychological and cognitive perspective that is inclined to the New World. They control public opinion, laws, and even government affairs. The Clovis authorities rule……"

It occurred to him that Detective Jameson had told himself that there was a great deal of dual citizenship in the Clovis department.

"Isn't this a colony with a change of direction? Not only government affairs, but also the spirit and law have been colonized, and the social atmosphere and values ​​will gradually be guided to change. Relatively independent, only the military system? Otherwise, this country is still What face do you think you are independent?"

Thinking of the female general who participated in the assessment with him, Ke Lin kept talking to the mayor without saying a word.

The more he talked, the better his impression of Mayor Yadan became——

An older official, with a background of studying abroad, put aside his airs to the person he met for the first time, and chatted in a calm tone. After a few words, the relationship seemed to be a lot closer.

But soon someone came to remind Yadan that the situation in the living room was slightly under control, but all parties put pressure on the city hall to see Ke Lin as soon as possible.

Mayor Yadan, who was in the middle of a conversation, had to smile wryly again, and stood up with Ke Lin.

"Once you sit in this position, you often have to go back and forth to coordinate with all parties. But this time I am really sorry to involve you, Mr. Varlin."

"It's okay, it's not the mayor's problem." Colin walked towards the door.

When leaving the room, Yadan proposed again: "Thank you for your understanding. Of course, for today's matter, I will not just thank you verbally. I will pay you a service fee afterwards." He blinked and stretched out He pointed out a finger, "It's about this number."

"A thousand crowns?"

Colin's eyes lit up, and he felt that the mayor's face became more amiable.

"how is this possible!"

Mayor Yadan shook his head, and under Ke Lin's disappointed gaze, he smiled and said, "Of course it's [-] kroner, otherwise I'm not worthy of your honor."

Colin was overjoyed immediately, but then asked strangely: "Is the public's money so easy to earn?"

"This is just part of the entertainment expenses." Yadan said as he walked.

"Sure enough, the public's money is easy to earn."

Ke Lin felt emotional, and suddenly thought, as long as he has a good relationship with the mayor and the big dog, wouldn't it be easy to make money in the future?You don't even need to distract your energy and delay the entry of the mysterious and extraordinary road.

After thinking about it, Colin suddenly felt blessed and asked, "How much is the remuneration for hosting a Christian archbishop?"

Yadan smiled slightly and said in a low voice: "It's not easy to talk about this kind of thing here, and this matter is not only about Bolsenburg, but also about the Religious Affairs Bureau, the Defense Bureau, the Central Region authorities, and even Clovis' diplomatic affairs. All of them are involved, and it stands to reason that each of them will have an expression, so at least it will not be lower than this number..."

He held out two fingers.

"Twenty thousand crowns?" Colin beamed with joy.

"This is just Bolsenburg's remuneration, and there are other departments' activity funds behind, and there should be other rewards." Yadan said bluntly.

Ke Lin's spirit was lifted, and the points of worry were immediately forgotten. He felt that the hope of paying off his debts and even financial freedom was close at hand, so he almost responded directly.

But immediately he woke up.

"No wonder, people say that capitalists and politicians are the best at demagoguery. Capitalists still think it's a blessing, and a bunch of people chase after them and call them daddy; politicians are even better at playing with public opinion, selling people out, and making people excited , with tears in my eyes!"

After waking up, looking at Yadan walking in front of him, Ke Lin couldn't help becoming suspicious.

Is this person really so refined?Or use this mask to take advantage of other people?
but……

"That's twenty thousand crowns!"

After thinking about it, Colin decided to test it out. He found another topic to start the conversation, and said, "Mr. Mayor, why are those people in the living room arguing? They...don't they all come to meet me?"

"Sigh." Yadan sighed, "Although the quarrel started because of you, the root cause is not on you, but because of some complicated reasons."

"Complicated reasons?"

"Maybe after a while, you will understand, here we are."

While talking, the two came to a door.

Yardan looked back at Colin and said, "Please be prepared, Mr. Varlin, the meeting later will not be easy and will consume a lot of your energy." Then, without waiting for Colin to reply, this The mayor opened the door!

Suddenly, the sound of quarreling came out——

"I never knew that in the land of Clovis, the real decision-maker was the ambassador of Waldsey! Absurd!"

A slightly angry voice was speaking loudly.

Immediately, a woman's voice sounded: "We believe that there is a universal truth in the world. In the face of truth, the constraints of some countries and ethnic groups should not be used as a criterion. This is actually a civilization and Barbaric difference, isn't it? And, why get mad? You're not Clovis."

"Although we are not Clovis people! But our country is facing the same situation as Clovis! And we all live in this continent! This continent should belong to us, not yours!"

Following the sound, Colin looked inside.

He first saw a tall, long-haired, plump woman with long hair, sitting proudly. Beside her, several people who were not young and had a scholarly air were filled with righteous indignation.

Two indifferent priests sat in the middle, like judges, and one of them said: "You should calm down and stop wasting energy on these boring things."

And as the owner here, Ms. Erjie from Clovis is humbly comforting everyone by the side, hoping to end the conflict.
