I am the only one who practices magic: I practice magic in the city

Chapter 287: Fortune Canon (4000 words)
The surrounding scene silently changed into the basement of Henning Mansion.

"Master, if you deprive two-thirds of the cardinals of their power at once, will the Temple of Woking collapse all of a sudden?"

Yuzu's eyes were glowing orange, and she obviously hadn't recovered from the excitement of playing an angel.

It feels so good.

Otherwise, so many people who were reborn in India at the starting point are Brahmins.

I haven’t seen any movie called Rebirth in India: I am a Dalit.

However, the Church of Woking is not known for its combat power after all. Now it has lost nine high-end combat forces. What if it cannot stabilize the situation?
"When have you ever seen a temple of the God of Wealth go bankrupt?" Fang Yu chuckled.

Not to mention other places, even in the Wei Zang area, the most popular temple is the Temple of the God of Wealth.

After the high school entrance examination, he and Fang Daqiang went to Lhasa, a place known for its piety, and stayed there for nearly a month.

One day when I came out of the youth hostel in Pingcuo, I saw thick smoke in the distance and thought there was a fire.

When I got closer, I found that it was a small temple with a lot of incense, called Zhaqi Temple.

The smoke you see is created by the burning of mulberry branches, which are used as incense locally, in the mulberry furnace.

After asking again, I found out that this temple is a branch temple of Sera Monastery, dedicated to worshipping Yellow Jambhala.

As for whether it works or not, everyone says it works, but there is no real evidence.

A temple with no real evidence can be so popular. The Temple of Woking really has the magic of wealth!
Those without magical powers have not gone bankrupt, so how could a temple that really has magical powers go bankrupt?
Unless other righteous gods join forces and send an oracle to their temple, demanding the destruction of the Temple of Wealth.

But if the six major temples really join forces to issue an oracle and wipe out the Church of Woking, having a few more level seven traitors will be of no use at all.

To be precise, under the current system of Vol'jin Temple, Vol'jin's believers are of little use.

They are a bunch of money-grubbers. Is there any one of them who would really sacrifice himself for Woking?
It would be better to kill the sacrifice to heaven and rebuild the Temple of Wealth from scratch.

All you are greedy for is my money!

However, we cannot blame these people entirely. After all, the Temple of Wealth is not like other temples and does not really have the guidance of God.

When other temples were first established, at least it was indeed after these legendary wizards who had escaped into the astral plane had spent countless years trying to communicate with the remaining humans in the main plane.

The Temple of Wealth was created by a group of people who happened to believe in the so-called Woking Mirror and accidentally created this Temple of Wealth.

The so-called Holy Code of Woking is nothing more than the incomprehensible fragments of information received by this group of charlatans when they communicated with the wealth system. They then used their imagination to compile it into the so-called Holy Code of Woking.

This set of scriptures is full of mistakes and omissions. If it weren't for a group of people in the Church of Woking who were as imaginative as the five hundred wastes of Lin Gao over the past thousands of years, who created two, three, or even more scripts, it would have been questioned as a sieve and would not even be hard enough to be used as a table leg.

Even so, not many people really believe in this stuff. If the Temple of Woking didn't really have the magic of wealth, the temple would have fallen apart long ago.

Without a rigorous theory to support belief, it is impossible to build a combat-ready team.

But in the future...hehehe.
-
Flavius ​​never imagined that he, the chief cardinal, would actually become the Pope.

Even though he is just an acting pope.

Pascal Arum was nearly ten years younger than him, and even at the next Holy Selection Ceremony, it was impossible for him to become one of the three Holy Chosen Ones at his age.

But who could have thought that the God of Wealth, who had been silent for thousands of years since the establishment of the Woking Church, would actually bring down divine punishment today! ?
Not only were two-thirds of the cardinals removed at once, but even the Pope was recalled to the Kingdom of God to receive divine punishment!

Immediately afterwards, in addition to appointing him as the interim bishop, the angel of wisdom also appointed eight interim cardinals, whose terms would also last until the Holy Election Ceremony.

Only one of the eight temporary cardinals is in Weiss Paradise, and the other seven are either on business trips or are bishops of local temples.

Of course, these people themselves are also level 7 priests, but they just don’t have the position of cardinal.

Thinking of this, Flavius ​​couldn't help but feel happy and worried.

The good news, of course, is that without so many cardinals, it will be much easier to cleanse their factions and replace the middle-level positions of these factions with their own people.

What is worrying is that due to the special nature of the Woking Temple, most cardinals have complicated relationships with the Norwen countries, and some of them are even representatives of certain countries in the Woking Church.

For example, Ribery, who was completely deprived of his power by Woking this time, represents the rights and interests of Luwak in the Woking Temple.

It is precisely because he has the support of the most powerful country in the continent that he dares to be so arrogant.

The other people who were punished also represented the interests of different countries to a greater or lesser extent.

Now that these people have been stripped of their cardinal powers by Woking, I wonder how these countries will react.

Things are changing in Woking Temple.

No, Woking, forgive me, it is daybreak.

Flavius ​​was just feeling a little emotional and was reminding himself to speed up the implementation of the oracle about the relocation of the temple when he heard the angel of wisdom, Yoelz, give another oracle.

"Wojin Oracle, there is a difference between humans and gods. Most mortals are dull and have difficulty understanding the words of the holy scriptures, and there are many misinterpretations. Therefore, I have taken back the original scriptures and bestowed upon you five volumes of the "Holy Book of Wealth" in the Wojin Divine Mirror for you to study."

The Holy Book of Wealth!!!

The Book of Wealth bestowed by Woking himself!!!
Could it be that the Temple of Woking really has some doctrine? Isn't it that whoever donates more money is considered more pious?
One of the main reasons why Flavius ​​became the chief cardinal was that he had the deepest understanding of the teachings of the Temple of Woking and made great contributions to the clarification of the teachings.

In other words, he himself is a big liar and has made a lot of patches to the Codex of Woking.

Because of this, he didn't believe in the Woking Codex at all. What's the point of reading that thing? It's better to read a few more novels.

But now...Vojin actually bestowed the Holy Book!!!

Ordinary priests in the square may not understand the meaning of this, but they just think that this is the reason. No wonder the previous scriptures were incomprehensible. It turned out that it was because the divine language could not be translated into human language.

But as Flavius ​​was an academic and professional patching master among the cardinals, how could he not understand the significance of this?
Flavius ​​didn't even have time to prepare for the coronation ceremony. He just gave some instructions to a few of his confidants and ran to the side hall where Woking's magic mirror was hidden to see what the "Bible of Wealth" bestowed by Woking himself was.

The oracle had already been given, and Flavius ​​did not dare to neglect it. He took a bath and burned incense before coming to the Mirror of Woking. After kneeling down and praying respectfully, he began to communicate with the mirror and asked it to show him the Bible of Wealth.

After all, Flavius ​​had obtained the power of the Pope, and the Woking Mirror quickly gave feedback. A golden book with only the words "Holy Scripture (I)" on the cover appeared on the mirror.

Flavius ​​opened the first page with excitement, looked at the table of contents, but didn't understand what it meant, so he turned to the main text, Chapter 1 - The Wealth, Section 1, Wealth and Morality.

"Creating wealth is the greatest morality!"

It's really enlightening! It's worthy of being the holy book bestowed by Woking himself.

Just this one sentence inspired Flavius ​​to develop countless doctrinal and moral associations.

Before this, the most criticized point about the Temple of Wealth was its immorality.

Many temple scriptures even directly define money as unrighteousness. Although it cannot be called evil, it is not a good word either.

Therefore, believers of the God of Wealth, even devout believers of Woking, generally have a second belief that they can face the public.

As a result, even though the Oath of the Gods clearly defines Vol'jin as a righteous god of the neutral camp, Vol'jin's followers live like followers of evil gods.

Flavius ​​was in a state of excitement, and he carefully read the book of wealth. Some of the fallacies in it, no, the truths, were more or less mentioned in the annotations of various versions of the original Woking Bible, but not in a systematic way.

But after Woking's analysis, he proved with many irrefutable facts that the reason why humans can become humans, the reason why humans can reproduce and thrive, the reason why humans can create civilization, and the reason why humans can become the spirit of all things is all because - humans know how to create wealth!
This solves the problem of the moral foundation of the original teachings of the Temple of Woking!

Praise Woking! Praise the god of wealth!
Flavius' eyes welled up with tears.

After reading the section on wealth and morality, I looked at the pages and realized that I had only read one percent of it.

Turn to the next section and see the name - On Division of Labor.

"A labourer, says Woking, who has not been properly trained for the trade, and does not know how to use the machinery which is involved in it, may, with all his might, not make one brooch in a day, and certainly not twenty."

"But according to the method of business, says Woking, one draws the wire, another straightens it, another cuts it, and the manufacture of the safety pin consists of eighteen operations."

"... one can produce 12 pounds of needles in one day... that is, one person can produce 4,800 needles in one day."

"If they work independently and don't specialize in a particular business... they might not be able to make even one needle in a day..."

"Woking said: Please give me what I want, and you can also get what you want!"

this! this! this!
Flavius ​​couldn't help but widen his eyes.

Praise Woking!

Divine arts and divine power all come from the grace of God. No holy scripture of any temple can grant divine arts.

But the "Book of Wealth" bestowed by Woking can truly bestow wealth!!!

This division of labor is so simple, why has no one thought of it for thousands of years! ?

Because your social productivity has not developed and is still stuck in the Castle Age, silly child.

Flavius ​​quickly rolled back.

Section 3—The origin and utility of money.

"Woking says: When the division of labour is thoroughly established, the produce of a man's labour can supply but a very small part of his wants..."

“He supplies the greater wants by exchanging for that part of the produce of his own labour which is above his own consumption, for the produce of the labour of other men, which he has occasion to procure…”

"Thus, everyone makes his living by exchange, or becomes a businessman in some way..."

"Therefore, all of you are my people, bathed in my divine light..."

……

Section 4. Real and Nominal Prices of Commodities

Section 5——…………

……

It is not until the twentieth section - the invisible hand - that the first chapter of The Wealth of Nations ends.

And this is just the first chapter of the first volume of "The Holy Book of Wealth"!
There are three more chapters to come!

Chapter 2, Comparative Advantage and Taxation Principles.

Chapter 3: Population Principles
Chapter 4: Industry and Trade

Almost every sentence in every chapter gave Flavius ​​a feeling of enlightenment.

It turned out to be the case.

It turned out to be the case.

No, that’s not the case. After reading Chapter 3, Section 2, I realized that my understanding of Chapter 1, Section 8 was still superficial.

Huh? This theory... No wonder Luwak chose to quarrel with the Temple of Light and attack Clement despite the Temple of Light's mediation. So this is the reason.

At that time, the finances of Loire were indeed tight. It was said that even Raymond XIII's weekly silver banquet was reduced to only invite thirty noble ladies...

After watching the first part, Flavius's excitement was beyond words.

Holy Scripture!

This is the real holy scripture!

With the guidance of this set of scriptures, the future development of the Temple of Woking can be imagined!

What about moving to Albergh?
Even if it is moved to the Bohari Desert, the Woking Temple can still become one of the most influential temples in the Norwen Continent!

Although Woking did not state it explicitly, it is obvious that every priest who wants to obtain a clergy position in the future must learn and master the "Book of Wealth" before they can take up the position!

Change, big change!

Flavius ​​was excited and found the next few parts.

So that's how it is. No wonder I was a little confused about Section 13 of Chapter 1 of Book 1. It turns out that Woking gave a more in-depth explanation in Book 3 of the Holy Scripture.

However, it seems that the difficulty of the holy books increases as you go along. It seems that only priests who have passed the exam are qualified to study the subsequent holy books. This must be noted.

It took Flavius ​​three days to finish reading the first four parts like a cow chewing on a peony.

When Flavius ​​finished reading the last section of the fourth volume and sighed with satisfaction, and was about to turn to the fifth volume, Woking's Mirror suddenly gave a hint.

"Only the current Pope can access the fifth volume of the Holy Book of Wealth. Please confirm that you have the authority to access it. Do you want to access it?"

Only the current Pope can read it! ?
Flavius ​​was excited and nervous all at once.

It was like going back to that night more than sixty years ago when I peeped at the maid taking a bath.

Could it be that the fifth volume has already touched upon the realm of God?
Flavius ​​felt his heart beating violently.

"Check it out."

Flavius ​​licked his dry lips and realized that he hadn't had any water for several hours.

The surface of Woking's mirror darkened for a moment, then lit up again.

A book completely different from the previous one appeared on the Woking Mirror, spinning.

Why is it a red book cover?
Flavius ​​opened the first chapter, on which were printed a few large words: On Surplus Value.

It seems that masks are back recently. Everyone should take care of their health, wear masks when going out, and wash hands frequently.
