Chapter 112: The Expelled Seagod Church
"Alexi, you will be my Jeremiah's best buddy from now on!"
"Let's drink to nitre, nitre"
"Nitroglycerin."
"Cheers to nitroglycerin!"
Jeremiah gulped down the sweet fruit wine.
Screw steel and wood. Who needs steel and wood when you have something that can flatten a mountain?
Jeremiah bets that Gem Bay has absolutely no objection - if it does, it's just that the equivalent is not enough!
Now the dinner is over and the guests have been sent back.
Looking at the pirate captain who was pulling Alexei not far away and not letting him leave, Hughes couldn't help but smile.
Although there were a few minor incidents, it went smoothly overall.
Judging from Jeremiah's appearance, the pirates wouldn't be a problem in the short term, and might even be a help - they could sail freely in the Storm Ocean, and maybe they could help him get a lot of materials.
For example, saltpeter.
This thing can be easily found on some islands, especially those with many seabirds. The more seabirds there are, the more guano there is, and the more guano there is, the easier it is to produce saltpeter mines.
There are such small islands in the Pacific Ocean of Blue Star. Unfortunately, Castel does not have such resources, otherwise black powder can be produced in large quantities.
But it's not a big problem, nitroglycerin is a better choice for him.
He took out this kind of explosives for the purpose of exporting it to pirates.
The main thing is that its various characteristics are very suitable.
The first is its power, which goes without saying.
Secondly, it is difficult to preserve and difficult to stockpile in large quantities - this may be a disadvantage for others, but it was precisely for this reason that Hughes chose nitroglycerin.
The difficulty in preserving it meant that the pirates had to rely on his long-term supply, and the difficulty in stockpiling it prevented them from using it against Caster in the event of a falling out.
In short, this is something that looks beautiful, but has many limitations in actual use.
It will become a new yoke around the pirates' necks.
However, having value without power is ultimately just meat on the chopping board, so Zeus asked the banshees to scare away the tattooed man.
At that time, all the banshees in the manor stared at him together, and their undisguised malice made the tattooed man turn around and leave. It’s really interesting to think about it.
Well, supernatural powers alone are not enough. Perhaps it is time to put forming your own army on the agenda.
Hughes thought absentmindedly.
Chloe came over.
"Is Beatrice back?"
"Yes, it seems that she is very satisfied with your dinner and is also very interested in the soap you gave her - in fact, I am interested too."
"Then I'll send a few boxes to your church later?"
"Okay, I'll just take it when I leave later."
Xius was a little surprised: "You want soap so much?"
"Yes! We of the Order of the Fire Moth are interested in all knowledge, especially that which does not bring pollution."
In this world of pollution, if you want to advance technology and seek more knowledge, it seems that you can never escape pollution.
"I see. No wonder you need to summon evil gods specifically to deal with pollution. Is it because of your pursuit of knowledge?"
Chloe nodded solemnly. "We were once a branch of the Candlelight Society, but later split from it due to ideological differences. They also pursue knowledge, but bury all the information they dig up. Each keeper possesses countless knowledge and secrets, but never shares them." "Are you willing to share knowledge?"
"Yes, the value of knowledge lies in sharing, isn't it?"
This made Zeus look at it with more eyes. In this crazy world, in this ignorant age, there is actually a group of people who are pursuing knowledge and are willing to share it?
"That you"
"Of course everyone will condemn us," Chloe said with a wry smile. "Knowledge always carries pollution, and sharing knowledge also spreads pollution. While we have the means to address it, it's still extremely dangerous. It's not like we haven't failed before—in fact, problems often occur."
"Death is common, and the verification of knowledge and conjectures often requires sacrifice. The remaining people will continue to move forward with their remaining manuscripts until they are reduced to ashes in the fire."
Indeed, cognitive interference, cognitive barriers, and the inexplicable pollution that descends upon the body, this world is severely punishing the advancement of technology, and the people of the Fire Moth are enemies of the entire world.
No wonder they call themselves the Moths Chasing Fire. This is indeed a foolish act of seeking death - foolish, but great.
Zeus always thought that this world was a spiral, with no upward movement, but now it seems that he took it for granted.
There is no shortage of brave people moving forward in every world.
"Then we will become friends. I am also on the path of seeking knowledge." Xiu Si solemnly extended his hand.
Chloe hesitated for a moment, looked back at the pirate who was still drinking sweet fruit wine, and finally shook it.
"I hope so—but you'd better explain your connection to the Church of Poseidon."
"The Church of Poseidon." Hughes took a breath. "Could you explain from the beginning what the Church of Poseidon is? I feel like we have some misunderstandings."
"Uh, you really don't know? Okay, okay, I can tell you, but since you don't know, I can't just tell you there's contamination. You know that, right?"
This is such a mess. If Zeus didn't know about the cognitive barrier, he would have thought she was crazy.
"You can just say, 'I have a way to solve the pollution.'"
"Really? Then I'll tell you."
"First, you know the five major churches, right?"
"Aren't they the Four?"
"See, this is the problem. The Church of Poseidon was expelled from the Five Great Churches. You know about this now, but after a while, you will forget it again."
"Ignore it?"
"Yes, you will subconsciously think that this is not important. People will divide memories into important and unimportant parts, and unimportant memories will be forgotten quickly."
This statement vaguely reminded Xius of his dream.
Most people forget their dreams within minutes of waking up because dreams are classified as "unimportant memories."
"Like a dream?"
Chloe was a little surprised: "Yes, it's a very accurate description, just like a dream, you will forget it soon."
"Anyway, at least now you know that the Church of Poseidon was once one of the five major churches."
"But later, something strange happened in the sea."
"I know that. It's pollution gushing out from the seabed, right?"
"Yes, it's been a long time, almost a thousand years."
"Our order has collected some ancient documents that mention a place called Mingyuan in the ocean, where the pollution originates."
Hughes' eyes widened.
"Mingyuan?"
