"So, Chopper cried in the snow, bid farewell to doctor Siruluk, joined the Straw Hat Pirates, and became their fifth companion..."
As her father spoke calmly, Yunia fell into a deep sleep. Mavie kissed her forehead, covered her with a quilt, closed the door gently, and found Christopher.
Dongdong!
"Here...Father?"
Christopher, who had put on his pajamas and was about to take a rest, saw Ma Wei standing at the door of his bedroom and asked in surprise: "It's so late, is there anything else you can do?"
"Go to the living room downstairs and have a small meeting." Ma Wei said.
"Oh, okay."
Christopher put on the kerosene lamp and followed Mavey to the living room on the first floor. After some tidying up, several sofas had been placed. There was a blazing flame in the fireplace and the sofas were full of people.
Laiwen, Dino, Edward, Salina, Fat Orange and Little Black...
All the main members of the Truth Church are here.
The fire burning in the fireplace illuminated everyone's faces. Ma Wei patted Christopher on the shoulder and motioned for him to find a seat. Then he walked to the tea table and moved a chair.
"Everyone."
Ma Wei poured himself a cup of hot tea, threw a mint leaf into it, and picked up the tea cup: "First of all, I think we should raise a toast to welcome Christopher and Salina."
Dino held the cup, Lavan held the silver flagon, and Edward held the goblet...
"welcome."
Everyone raised their glasses to Christopher and Salina.
Taking a sip of hot tea to moisten his throat, Ma Wei said in a calm voice: "I called everyone here this time because I want to hold the first truth conference. I think that in the future, there will be more and more members in the church, and rules and rules must be established. It is necessary, so holding a meeting is essential, and we must bring the issues we are currently facing to the meeting for joint discussion."
"Won't the goddess participate?" Fat Orange asked.
"This is the first proposal to be made at the Truth Conference." Ma Wei said: "As for the identity of the goddess, we must keep it as secret as possible. It's not that we don't believe the comrades who joined later, but the fewer people know about this secret, The better.”
"I will hold truth conferences regularly in the future, and Yunia will also participate, but she will not attend the conference as a goddess, do you understand?"
"But as the Church of Truth grows, there will definitely be new people who will doubt the identity of the goddess. What should we do then?" The letter hesitated: "We can hide it for a while, but not for the rest of our lives."
"With the Tears of the Siren, it is not difficult to create a false goddess. Once the true identity of the god is exposed, the consequences will be disastrous, so we must take precautions before they happen." Ma Wei said: "The goddess Yunia is a symbol of truth, let her Having too much contact with believers is not a good thing for their faith. Remember, being close is not bad."
Lai Wen and others nodded and agreed with Ma Wei's statement.
Ma Wei did this to protect Yunia. For example, when he first came into contact with Yunia's letter, his feelings towards Yunia went from being in awe at the beginning to gradually relaxing. To this day, he insists on saying How much he was in awe of Yunia is pure fantasy, and the text is so...
What happens to others?
Keeping a certain distance and concealing the true identity of the goddess is the best decision at the moment.
"The second proposal is about the expansion of the Truth Church tomorrow."
Looking at the others, Ma Wei took out the notepad in his arms and said in a deep voice: "Currently, we have stabilized our foothold in Tyumen City. As for the Romanov Kingdom, the first counterattack has also been successful, and the situation is excellent. , we must make systematic plans for the future of the Church of Truth. These are the several important directions I have listed. Please circulate them."
The first thing to get the notepad was the letter. He put down the silver flagon and used the light of the fire to carefully read several plans written by Ma Wei. After reading it, he handed it to Dino beside him and asked. : "Boss, you said above that relieving refugees and developing believers are inseparable. I agree very much, but the subsequent matter of acquiring the factory... I am afraid it cannot be done with the current financial resources of the Truth Church."
"So I listed it at the bottom." Ma Wei nodded and said: "The Apocalypse Cult left 35 parchments, which recorded 35 kinds of magic, plus the two we have: Siren's Tears and Jungle Heart. Gemstones, a total of 37 kinds of magic, are the foundation of the Church of Truth."
"We can't rely on Siren's Tears every time we respond to emergencies. As the number of believers increases, we should also classify the power, type and applicability of magic. Some magic can be safely left to believers for use. Some magics cannot be used. For example, Siren's Tears are important magics that must be kept strictly confidential, and the degree of confidentiality should be ranked at the highest level."
"As for the acquisition of the factory, my idea is to use the scientific industrial foundation to mass-produce magic props and distribute them to believers who are loyal to the truth. While assisting Her Highness Katerina, I will also strengthen the strength of the Church of Truth so that we have enough resistance. Risk Capacity.”
Ma Wei has had the idea to acquire factories and mass-produce magic props before. If the Church of Truth wants to gain a foothold in the cracks between many large churches, it must not just rely on words, but must use trump cards to intimidate other forces.
"The First Clan"
As the number of believers increases, Yunia's power will also increase. However, Yunia has no skills and has not yet awakened. Ma Wei and Laiwen alone are not enough to compete with the Church of the Three Goddess of Destiny and the Church of Wisdom.
To this end, it is necessary to rely on the power of other believers, and the matching magic props naturally become an urgent problem.
Just like the army, no matter how well you train, if you don't issue weapons to others, will it be useful?
Eggs cannot be put in the same basket.
"This requires money." Dino handed the notepad to Edward and said solemnly: "A lot of money."
"I have already thought about the money issue." Ma Wei said: "Someone will send us the money soon."
"Give us money? Who would do this? Your Highness Katerina?"
"It's not her. Her funds must be used to support the army and cannot be touched."
Amid everyone's doubtful gazes, Ma Wei smiled: "Those who give us money are our enemies."
"..."
"..."
"Boss... are you sleepy?" the message said tactfully: "Whether it is the Wisdom Cult or the nobles, it is impossible for them to give us money! Wouldn't it cost their lives!"
"For nobles, of course they will not use their money to fund their enemies, but what if... they turn their enemies into friends?"
The people who wrote the letter looked at each other with a bit of interest: "Turn enemies into friends? Boss, do you want to win over the nobles?"
"To be precise, they force the nobles to come to us." Ma Wei said indifferently: "The enemies hug together to keep warm. The stronger the external force, the tighter they will hug, just like dung beetles. In this case , either seek more powerful external forces to forcibly break down their hard shells, or use internal differentiation methods to sow discord and create gaps between them..."
"A head-on confrontation is doomed to pay huge sacrifices, which is unwise. After much thought, I decided to implement a policy of differentiation to disintegrate their alliance from within at the minimum cost!"
