Ms. Wang Weina, my cousin can't do it either

To some extent, at the ideological level, his influence on the countries of the earth even far exceeds that of Victoria.Borrowing this influence, Lateran used to run amok throughout the entire land.They opened churches in Ursas, ravaged the ancient city-state of Syracuse, tried to interfere with the succession of the throne in Victoria, and even completely grasped the supreme power of the lost empire in Iberia.

Their power was once in full swing, and even almost completed the cultural invasion of Victoria, but the so-called extremes will be reversed, prosperity and decline.The turning point of Lateran's fate happened precisely during their interference with Victoria.

Under the promotion of Wayne, a call for gods to communicate directly with believers without going through the church. The church is only a tool of gods, not the ruler of the people. Justification by faith, the religious reform movement that advocates the abolition of the authority of the church began in Victoria. , The flames spread to the entire land.

All of a sudden, the leaders of the land nations who had long been dissatisfied with Lateran's offside power responded one after another, and Lateran's circle of influence shrank by nearly 80.00% in one go.

The brilliance of Wien is that he does not deny the importance of faith.As we all know, there are gods on Terra, and Wayne is not sure whether the gods believed by the people of Sakota really exist.It is also unrealistic to ask people to give up the beliefs they have built since they were young, and to break the three views and reshape them.So he settled for the next best thing, and cut off Lateran's intention to control people's thoughts through religious power and then influence the country's decision-making by anti-church rather than god.

When most shallow believers heard it, ah, there is no need to pay taxes to the church. Good thing, follow suit.

When most devout believers heard it, ah, believers can directly talk to the gods, and the distance between us and the gods is getting closer. Good thing, we followed.

When most non-believers listen, what, the Reformation?none of my business.What?It's very lively, I won't be sleepy if you say this, I'll join in the fun, follow along!

As a result, except for the core believers and a small number of fanatics, Lateran almost lost most of its sphere of influence.suffered a severe blow.In this regard, the Pope can be said to hate Victoria.

Although Mostima vowed to use his life as a guarantee to ensure that Wayne Bruce, as an ally, would not betray, everything was done by the wise and mighty Queen Victoria, who took office three times in order to establish her prestige.Regardless, the pope stopped funding Wien's mission.

It can't be spread anymore, Victoria has already fully believed in the Anglicanism, so what kind of missionary subsidy will be given!

Wayne was not annoyed, and sent a letter "secretly" to the Pope through a courier on a regular basis every month. The letter stated in detail that Wayne "had the intention to kill the enemy, but was unable to recover, the church was orthodox, and all rushed to the street." Helpless, and attached a bank card number for reminders, implying that the Pope would starve to death if he did not send the money.

Although His Majesty the Pope has never replied to him, but with the idea that writing a letter can disgust him once, Wayne still insists on this work.

However, he did not expect that the figure of the Pope, who had been dormant for almost half a year, would appear in the dragon gate outside the **, in Wei Yanwu's password box.

A valuable cross can symbolize many things.Wayne also has one of these, and he hangs it up politely every time he meets a Lateran, symbolizing "ah, those on your side are all believers of the Lord."

But Wayne acted, what about Wei Yanwu?Is he?

Wayne doesn't think that Wei Yanwu is a person who believes in gods, and his purpose should be the same as Wayne's.

Use the power of Rutland to do things.

With the help of Rutland's money, Wayne bought the shares of Rhein-Life and arranged the affairs of Colombia.Finally achieved unexpected results.What about Wei Yanwu, what kind of assistance did he receive from Lateran?What are you going to do with these aids?

None of these questions can be answered yet, but to be able to see the cross, Wayne's mission this time has been considered completed.

He raised his head with a smile, looked at Wei Yanwu, and said:

"I didn't expect that Mr. Wei still believed in religion?"

"Being religious is naturally to get something from the gods. I also have something I want, so why can't I believe in it?"

Wei Yanwu also replied with a smile.

"Anyway, I don't need money, how much credit do I have?"

"It's better to believe that there is, than to believe that it is not."

Wayne nodded and closed the box.Wei Yanwu's attitude is already obvious.

It is in the box, regardless of whether it has been dropped or not, if not, then the person behind Wei Yanwu should be that old friend of Wei En, the generous Pope.

"That's fine. I'll leave after I finish what I want to see, and I won't send it off."

Wayne stood up, tidied his clothes, and said goodbye to Wei Yanwu.Turn around and walk towards the porch.

Sitting on the sofa, Wei Yanwu suddenly said:

"Your Highness, the Reformation started in Victoria, right?"

Wayne replied while putting on his shoes, "Yes."

"Is it related to you?" Wei Yanwu asked straightforwardly.

Wayne showed a bad smile and spread his hands:

"Look, look, Mr. Wei Yanwu, why did you ask such a question? The trend of religious reform originated in Victoria. As the Prince of Victoria, I am naturally duty-bound. But if you want to say that I planned it, that's a shame." It's not right."

"Mr. Wei Yanwu, to a certain extent, you, Rutland and I are actually on the same side, do you understand?"

Wayne stretched out his hand to touch his inner pocket, and a golden cross necklace that looked more expensive than Wei Yanwu's appeared and dropped from Wayne's hand.He originally planned to use this thing to find a relationship with Neng Angel Lala, after all, Aneng is really cute.

Unfortunately, there were some accidents today. Although Angel Neng saw her and got her business card and invitation to drink, the chance to take out the necklace to make friends was gone.

But, I didn't expect it to come in handy at a time like this.Wei En had a whim, and under Wei Yanwu's horrified gaze, he walked quickly to his side and whispered in his ear:

"Long live the Pope."

After all, it didn't matter what Wei Yanwu would come up with because of his words, he turned around and left gracefully.

Only Wei Yanwu was left standing in the dim living room, lost in thought.

Why did Wayne, Prince Victoria, have this necklace?

Why does his necklace look even more expensive than mine?

nmd, why?

PS: Captain Wayne: Long live Hydra!

Chapter 347 Chapter 58 Urbino's Ascension to God

"Huh, I'm exhausted."

Walking on the streets of Longmen, Wayne let out a long sigh of relief.

He is not a serious person himself, playing with people's hearts and manipulating political means, this kind of thing has always been something he has never thought about before.It was only after time-traveling, for my own dream, that I was forced to start learning one by one slowly.

But even so, when facing a scheming guy like Wei Yanwu, he almost overturned the car.

If it wasn't for me having Mostima as an internal support in Penguin Logistics, if it wasn't for my status being high enough, Wei Yanwu had to make a big gamble in an unsure way, if it wasn't for me who happened to recognize Rutland's cross, and The Pope has dealt with it.Today's trip will not be so smooth.

However, all coincidences are inevitable, all luck is predestined, the matter has come to light, and Wayne can fulfill his promise, and he will be satisfied if he gives Chen an explanation.

As he thought about it, he slowly stopped walking back to the Elizabeth Hotel.Instead, he turned to look at the brightly lit city.

Longmen, the largest commercial city on the east side of the land.Wei Yanwu built this place single-handedly, making Longmen a city of dreams that countless people dream of.Wayne doesn't want to think about the corruption and darkness hidden under the prosperity at this moment.He just wanted to have a good feel of this land.

How to put it, it is also a fantasy city that combines a series of elements such as HK, Shanghai, and Shenzhen.In his previous life, Wayne regretted that he had never been to the so-called "China's only city designated for large-scale events", nor had he participated in grand events such as comic exhibitions and game exhibitions there.Now that I have traveled through time in person, why don't I experience it?

This is not a cosplay, everyone is a real beast ear girl.

Taking out his mobile phone, Wayne called Theresia, and Theresia's quiet voice came from the other side of the microphone:

"Mr. Bruce, is the job done?"

"It's done, the harvest is not small." Wayne's mouth raised a smile, of course the harvest is not small.Not only did he know what was in Wei Yanwu's box, but he also learned about Wei Yanwu's backer, and even said a classic line that he wanted to say a long time ago.

I just don't know what Wei Yanwu will come up with from this.With the peak brain power of the Yan people, this is really something worth looking forward to.

But these are not suitable to be told on the street. Wayne paused, changed the subject, and stated his purpose:

"Come out for a walk, Teresia?"

"Do you want to bring Wei Na?" Teresia did not refuse, but asked instead.

Wayne thought for a while and replied, "Is she asleep?"

"No, I'm watching the news." Teresia turned her head and glanced at the Yan Guoqiang announcer who was sitting in the living room, watching TV while repeating what he said, practicing her Yan Guohua pronounce.

She worked hard.Wayne is right, learning a foreign language is not a bad thing.Although logically speaking, it is more appropriate to choose the Ursas language that is often contacted than the language of the Yan Kingdom, which is closed to the outside world.But in order to understand Wei En's strange Yan Guo proverbs, she decided to learn Yan Guo dialect first.

"Then let's talk about it after she falls asleep."

Wayne said disdainfully.

Theresa smiled helplessly:

"Don't be like this, I promised to take Wei Na out to play."

Wayne waved his hand subconsciously: "Just kidding. Don't wait for the next time, let's call Wei Na this time. But say yes, you will supervise her with me later, and don't let her eat too much. Don't let her drink."

"Understood." Teresa nodded.

"Then I'll wait for you at 'Earth's End'. Take a taxi."

After Wayne finished speaking, he paused, and after saying goodbye to Theresa, he hung up the phone.

He's going to 'Earth's End'.

As a qualified lion, how could he refuse Aneng's invitation?With the personality of an angel, since they have already handed over their business cards, they will definitely go to the end of the earth every day to wait for Wayne.A girl's curiosity is a terrifying thing.Wayne didn't want to let her wait for too long by releasing the energy angel pigeon.

On a big night, in a place like Longmen, if you are invited, instead of going to the Emperor’s Bar, you can listen to expensive vinyl records, drink a cocktail made by Texas, and enjoy the gorgeous neon lights while having a conversation with your favorite If you talk freely, you really don't know how to enjoy life, right?

Don't tell me, this is a bit like a cyberpunk romance drama.

Thinking of this, Wayne took out Neng Angel's Apple red business card in his bag, turned on the mobile phone terminal, connected to Longmen's LAN, and started walking in the direction of the bar at the end of the earth according to the map.

He wasn't going to take a taxi like Teresia and Vina did.Although that saves time, it somewhat wastes the scenery along the way.According to the plot in The Law of Noise, the night market in Longmen is also an indispensable feature of the city, and Wayne wants to experience it for himself.

Maybe, you can still find some buildings with a sense of memory, and food that seems familiar?

Although he has gradually integrated into and changed this world, as a foreigner, Wayne will still be more or less emotional.

With his back facing the setting sun and the dusk reflected on his body, Wayne walked towards the street in front of him with his head held high and his chest held high.Without taking a step, the neon lights lit up one by one until the whole city was lit up.Step by step, without stopping.

...........

Lateran, holy city.

Towering buildings, sharp or sleek domes, churches lined with congregations.This is the Kingdom of God coming to earth.The final home of all Sakotas above the land.

Layers of thick doors were pushed open by the religious knights guarding the gates, dressed in red robes and gorgeous crowns, the face of Archbishop Urbino in red was brimming with a happy smile.

He is now a big red man in front of the Pope, the best, youngest, and bravest cardinal—Father Urbino.These venerable and pompous titles are not earned by flattery alone.He, Urbino, is undoubtedly the most capable cardinal in Lateran today!

Since taking office, a total of three major events have been accomplished. The first one is to win over Wayne Bruce, who is the royal family of Victoria, and win a valuable ally for Victoria.Although this ally is somewhat useless now, since there is no conclusive evidence to prove that he betrayed, this can be regarded as a great achievement like Urbino.Second, to turn the tide and help the building to collapse. At the time when the flames of the religious reform were burning most fiercely, he presided over the successful holding of the Holy City Assembly covering the entire Lateran religious world, and implemented a certain degree of reformation. The reform has stabilized the fundamentals of the Catholic Church at a minimal cost.

The third is the conversion event in Colombia that revived the majesty of the Catholic Church.Borrowing negotiation and diplomatic means, they successfully reached an agreement with the remnants of the western parliament and the orthodox former federal government. At the cost of converting the whole country to Lateran Catholicism, becoming believers, and establishing it as the state religion, in exchange for Lateran's assistance.It can be said that the Lateran power network, which had shrunk greatly after the religious reformation, took the first step of expansion again!

It is indispensable, and the credit is great!Although Urbino is still a cardinal, he has become a representative of the new generation of Lateran priests competing for the position of pope.

But, he still needs a stepping stone.A stepping stone with enough weight to take the last step of ascending to the gods!

That is, to knock open the door of that ancient empire, and spread the faith of the Catholic Church to a piece of land that has never been cultivated!

Chapter 348 Chapter 59 Urbino Rebukes the Church

Lateran, Holy City, Pope's Palace, Cardinal Chamber.

Urbino strolled in here, and the other cardinals who had already arrived one after another nodded their greetings to him one after another. Some of them seemed to be convinced, while others seemed very reluctant.

Urbino didn't care about this either, he knew that those who smiled forcedly were old people.They are all remnants of the old days, still stuck in the most glorious days of Lateran.He believes that the pope is the representative of the gods, the supreme person on the earth, and the cardinal who handles secular affairs for the pope himself is equivalent to the king, emperor and president of the countries of the earth.

But Urbino knew that those were things of the past.

Today's Lateran is no longer what it used to be. Although Iberia is still under control, except for Iberia, the rest of the land countries that were once restrained have basically awakened. Shackled.Today's pope is no longer the only representative of the gods in the world built by the Lateran religious system. Every believer in Protestantism believes that he can communicate with the gods and that he has the power to become the pope in theory.

His Majesty the Pope is now nothing more than a secular lord.Since the church fell from the altar, he has stayed behind closed doors, probably because he wanted to use the last "mystery" to maintain his stubborn self-esteem.

As for these old men, or "old-minded people", the Rutland of the new era does not have a ship that can carry them, and the future Rutland will no longer need such a group of domineering and self-important cardinals.

If they cannot learn humility, Urbino will teach them humility in the future.Then kick them out!

"Hello everyone."

Urbino smiled, but the light in his eyes grew brighter.

He dared to utter such bold words and made such a great wish, naturally there was a reason.

"Everyone, things are basically done."

With a flat face, he said with a secret joy in his heart,

"Wei Yanwu of Longmen has already agreed to our cooperation. Our support - money, weapons, technology, staff, and even instructors - will soon arrive at Longmen. The Great Yan Empire, the fortress known as the forbidden zone of the gods, will soon officially Disintegrating from within, I will open up a whole new world for the Catholic Church!"

Various emotions such as shock, excitement, and contemplation appeared on the faces of everyone.After a while, Bishop Raymond, who is an old school sect, criticized:

"Bishop Urbino, your enthusiasm for opening up a new place of faith for the Catholic Church is commendable, but is your behavior somewhat reckless? It is our duty to spread our faith to the land that lacks the nourishment of gods." , but it is also their honor, we can provide them with some friendly help, but like you, is exaggerated assistance a bit too much?"

Most of the rest of the people also showed hesitant expressions on their faces, obviously thinking that what Bishop Raymond said was somewhat reasonable.

How much did Urbino give?
