Chapter 180 Holy Prayer Coins
"I heard Rat mention you a long time ago, Hamilton Good morning, sir."

In the early morning mist, the three people who were standing in front of the Dawn Church conversing greeted each other.

Owen Bishop looks old, but speaks with spirit. He looked Shade up and down, and then sighed with Augustus first that youngsters today are more energetic than they were in their time.

Owen bishop is quite chatty and easily brought Shade into the matter of the Holy Prayer event they just talked about.

Holy Prayer is the busiest time for Dawn Church every year, and something new has to be done every year. The Orthodox Church is not a pedantic organization that doesn't know how to keep pace with the times. For example, this year, the church plans to conduct annual traditional religious activities, church visits, religious story performances in the side hall of the church, and large-scale Scripture Lecture in Dawn Square. Make some simple propaganda to distribute to heretic to spread the influence of Holy Prayer and Dawn Church.

“What promotional material did the church choose in the end?”

Shade was curious about this and asked the two elderly people.

"It has the widest range of influence, and it will never be thrown away after you get it, and it will be very cherished." Bishop smiled and handed Shade what was in his hand:

"Mr. Hamilton, how about this from your point of view."

Shade looked up , and then saw a Silver Coin in the old palm of bishop.

“Silver Coin?”

Twist the coin, the number “1053” and the words “Holy Prayer” on the upward side, and the dawn on the back side Emblem of Mr. After a slight tiptoe twice, I was pretty sure it wasn't sterling silver.

An old gentleman walked out of the church next to him to greet Owen bishop, and looked towards Shade curiously. Judging from Owen bishop's response, this old gentleman had the title of Viscount.

Auguspriest introduced to Shade:

"It's not pure silver, the center of the coin is mixed with some alloys, it's just a commemorative coin. According to the market price, it can probably be exchanged. About 4 shillings and 7 pence. But the cost is not particularly high. We cooperated with the church of "Lady of Creation" and used the special metal they sold to us at a low price, which deducted part of the cost. Those alloys are scraps, originally It was commissioned by the Kingdom of Delarion for .cough cough, I can't say that."

Augus' priest's tone was somewhat complacent:

"We have prepared 20,000 pieces, and we will wait until Holy Prayer Day. On the same day, it was distributed with a leaflet near Plaza Dawn. This is not a violation of Delarion's minting policy, it is only a small commemorative coin. Detective, how is the idea?"

"The idea It's pretty good."

Outsiders praised the idea, and then looked around from the side of the coin and saw the curly letters of densely packed, which together means:

【Guang Yao Shadows follow the dawn. ]

This sentence is usually used as the opening or closing sentence in the prayers of the followers of Zhengshen [Mr. Dawn].

This kind of behavior equivalent to sending money directly is simply the most powerful means of publicity. 20,000 coins cost no more than 8,000 pounds, which is nothing to the rich and imposing Orthodox Church.

He was thinking that he might be able to come up with some good ideas to help Augustus Priest, but nothing beats sending money directly. In particular, the kingdom does not intend to pursue the matter of coinage.

"However, it is still necessary to do a good job of publicity in the early stage, and let people know as much as possible what they will do on the day. Also, be prepared. If there are too many people, 20,000 coins After the coins are distributed, people later have opinions on how to deal with it. If you want me to say, it is better to distribute them in different time periods, such as 5,000 in the morning, 10:5,000 in the morning, 3:5,000 in the afternoon, and 6:50 in the evening. Guarantee each time period People in the coin have a chance."

Shade said casually while observing the details of the coin, Augustus priest gave him a surprised look:
"It makes sense, we actually We were planning to give out a shilling coin if more people came than expected."

The church was richer than Shade thought.

"But people should realize that God's grace is not infinite. Generous giving cannot impress people, but conditional gifts can make people understand God's strictness and love. .”

Shade concluded that the idea for this set of “limited-edition gifts” he had seen a lot in his hometown.

This time even Owen bishop looked towards Shade unexpectedly, he waved goodbye to the Viscount, very satisfied with Shade's idea and opinion, so laughed asked:

“Mr Hamilton , youngsters with ideas like you are rare. Speaking of which, have you studied theology?"

bishop asked.

"No, my education level is very low."

After finishing speaking, he winked at Augustus Priest, wanting the other party to confuse this topic. He is not the original Shade, this kind of problem may cause problems no matter what.

"The Hamilton detective's background is not very good, but I have always believed that the value of a person's efforts can be reflected in the humble background."

Auguspriest tries to divert the topic, see bishop also wanted to ask Shade questions, so he asked Shade first:
"However, Detective Hamilton is indeed a very thoughtful youngster, not only what he said just now, but he often asks some interesting questions. Even if he does not study theology , he still likes to think about life and the world, oh poor youngster, if he has the money to go to a higher academy, maybe he can be a college student."

"Hamilton, what have you been thinking about? Question?"

Owen bishop had a good impression of Shade, but at this time, he was aroused by August's priority's words, so he asked Shade with a smile.

Augus Priest still wanted to smooth things out, but Shade thought about it and shook his head slightly at Priest. Not all questions have to be avoided, but he is very interested to talk to theologians who really exist in the world of gods.

So he looked like he was thinking, and then he looked up slightly, looking towards the sky:
"Standing in this world, there will always be a lot of ideas. For example, I thought about whether our world has a name."

"Oh? This question is really interesting, why do you think so?"

Owen bishop brows slightly wrinkle, asked probingly.

At this time, the three were still standing at the door of the church, and the grand door of the church was beside them. The morning fog made this morning seem a bit gloomy, and people kept passing by their three people, but because of Shade's problem, the three people's attention was focused on the next words:

"Owen bishop, Austrian Gus priest, you see, since cities have names, and countries have names, we are here called the old continent, even as opposed to the new continent. So, does this world have a name?"

What Shade said The name does not refer to the term "material world", but to the name of the wider world.

"As far as I know, our world has no name, and is usually called world directly."

The old bishop nodded and said, and Augustus Priest, who was beside him, also agreed. :
"Neither religious texts nor mythological tales have names for this world. It's funny, detective, what's the point of this question?"

Shade thought about his words, trying to make his own Express ideas clearly. These things, he has thought about many times since he came here:
"You see, people only name their cities when they realize that there are two cities; Discovery and discovery of a new continent, will call the current continent the old continent. Therefore, whether this world has names such as 'Azeroth' and 'Ionia' is also related to whether people recognize There is another world If the world has no name, then it means that, at least in the current cognition of God and man, the world is unique."

He hoped that he could express clearly what he wanted to express, But it's a pity here. Knowing that this world, which is in the wave of the steam age, has no name, it means that it is very difficult to find the way home from the world view of this world.

"This is really interesting. Few people can think about the relationship between man, God and the world from such a high position." The look is a little different. For outsiders, it is common to think about this question, but for people in this world itself, this is a kind of thinking that almost jumps out of the world;

"Wonderful thinking, very theological speculation! "

Owen Bishop hesitated for a moment. Seeing that Augustus Priest was still thinking, he asked kindly:
"Mr. Hamilton, maybe you can really study theology. Speaking of which, do you believe in?" Which god?"

"Faith? Me."

He was surprised by this question and asked in the heart:
"What do I believe in?"

【Why ask me? ]

Outsiders have never thought about this kind of thing before, and it is definitely not acceptable to say that they are unbelievers at this time. Among the five options of the Orthodox Church, Mr. Dawn first ruled it out, this kind of lie would be easily pierced by the bishop in front of him, and in the remaining four options, it seems that every one of them can.

He winked at Augustus priest, who seemed helpless. So Brace oneself can only say:

"I should be considered as a shallow believer of [Ms. Creation]. I like Creation Church's outstanding contribution to steam machinery in recent years."

"Shallow believers, have you considered converting to our Lord [Mr. Dawn]?"

Owen Bishop asked again, this kind of question is an insult to devout believers, but shallow believers don't care .

"For now. Might want to think about it."

The tone was uncertain.

"That's a pity, but Mr. Hamilton, you can learn more about our beliefs from Augustus priest, maybe it will be of interest, and a brilliant youngster like you will certainly have a lot to do with the development of the church.

" Helpful. Not much to say, better than having to fill the wall of unbelievers after the unbelievers die."

Irving Bishop regrets this.

PS: Sorry for setting the wrong time.
