June 10, Mosk.
Nearly half a month has passed since the implementation of the "Provisional Decree". During this period, except for Mosk, other cities and towns have been subject to armed suppression by the secret police.
As they suppressed the rebellion, the resistance became more intense. This time, it was not only the former serfs who had regained their freedom who participated in the riot, but many workers also joined the riot.
Riots and repressions were staged in every corner of the Romanov Kingdom, but the royal capitals of Petersburg and Mosk remained calm.
In the words of Edward....
When Mosk or Petersburg takes action, it means that the decisive battle has begun.
"Unia, do you want some cake?"
In the garden, Mavi, who was watering the plants with a showerhead, asked: "If you want to eat cake, I can make one for you. Salina bought some freshly made jam yesterday. It is very fresh."
"Okay, okay!"
Squatting in front of the sunflowers, Yunia kept patting the flower bed, trying to get more seeds to come out. Yunia nodded vigorously and used more force on her hands.
Poor Ailan, his energy is getting worse day by day. He has completely digested the seeds of the Alchemy God Tree. Instead of becoming a god, he has become the source of Yunia's godhead. Every time a green melon seed grows, it will be destroyed by Yunia. Nia took it immediately.
Thanks to Yunia, Alain's spirit was dispirited, as if he had been hollowed out.
"Dad..." Yunia pursed her lips and complained: "Alan doesn't produce melon seeds very much recently..."
"I think you should let it rest for a few days." Ma Wei glanced at Sunflower with his head drooping: "Are Ailan's melon seeds delicious?"
"No, there's no taste at all."
"Then you still keep eating?"
Ma Wei is a little strange. Yunia obviously loves cakes more than melon seeds, but recently she seems to be only interested in Ailan's melon seeds. This makes Ma Wei not only a little worried, but also suspicious...
Ailan's melon seeds have addictive effects on people and gods.
Anyway, he hasn’t eaten it.
"It's because the power is growing too fast." Yunia looked very distressed: "There are too many new believers, so I must eat melon seeds to enhance my godhood, otherwise I will not be able to accommodate so much power... .”
Then you can't catch a sheep and plunder it...
Ma Wei, who was somewhat sympathetic to Ailan, put down the shower pot and walked to Yunia: "You have to give Ailan some time to rest. For example, from now on, you can only pick up the melon seeds from Monday to Friday, and let him rest on Saturdays and Sundays. "
"But won't the melon seeds produced on Saturday and Sunday still fall into my stomach?" Yunia blinked: "I will take them away on Monday!"
"Oh, that's true..."
After Ma Wei reacted, he had no other solution for the moment.
The current situation in the Romanov Kingdom is too tense. Mavey must stay in Mosk and cannot leave easily. Otherwise, he would have taken Yunia out to find the small church.
The crazy growth in the number of believers is indeed somewhat unexpected.
In just half a month, the number of believers in the Truth Church increased from 200,000 to 500,000, almost erupting in a blowout, as if a volcano that had been dormant for a long time finally ushered in an active period.
Believers can also develop followers. A believer will often influence family and friends. The more believers there are, the more targets they will influence.
This situation has led to the phenomenon of truth being transmitted from person to person, just like dandelion seeds, flying everywhere to take root and sprout, and then continue to spread the seeds, and more and more dandelions appear...
Mavi didn't think this was a bad thing, but troubles arose.
There will definitely be more believers joining the church in the future. We can’t place all our hopes on Aylan. If this continues, it will probably die...
Just as Mavey was thinking about where to find a small church, Christopher suddenly walked into the backyard garden and said, "Father, you have guests."
"New believer?"
"It doesn't look like it. There are several people carrying luggage, asking for you by name."
Call me by name?
Is it the aristocratic faction?
Or the Free Association?
With all kinds of thoughts popping up in his mind, Mawei took Yunia to the central tower and met these strange guests in the preaching hall.
Three men and two women were standing in the lobby. They were all young and dressed in ordinary clothes. There were suitcases at their feet. They looked a little tired, as if they hadn't had a good rest, just like Christopher said.
"I'm Marv Enders."
Putting his palm on his chest, Ma Wei asked politely: "Excuse me, what do you want to see me for?"
After observing Mawei for a while, a young man with shawl-long hair came forward, tapped his shoulder twice with his fingers, suddenly knelt down on one knee, and said in Slavic with a strange tone: "Father Mawei, we are members of the monastic church. Members, I am here to discuss the merger with you.”
The monastic church?
merge?
Ma Wei frowned. He had never heard of the Hermitage Church and knew nothing about the origins of the five people in front of him.
"What merger?"
"The merger between churches." The long-haired man raised his head and said with a smile: "To put it simply, we are here to preach."
"...."
"You seem to still have doubts. It seems that I didn't explain it clearly enough."
The long-haired man stood up, reached back, took a black book handed by his companion, and explained: "Our monastic church believes in the hidden god and has extremely complete doctrines. However, due to doctrinal reasons, extremely We rarely appear in front of the world, so people don’t know much about us..."
"We came from the distant Siberian city of Saind. Because the world situation has changed, we took the initiative to show up and want to save you and the believers of your church from the fire and water."
"Save... me?" Ma Wei suspected that there was something wrong with his ears today. He had been preaching all his life, but today someone rushed to the door and shouted that he wanted to preach to him...
He had to admit that the other party's words and deeds really shocked him.
"As the introducer, I would like to start a doctrinal discussion with you to explore the connection between mystery and truth." The long-haired man said.
"oh...."
Ma Wei came back somewhat: "It's because after the implementation of the "Temporary Decree", the secret police began to investigate small churches, and as a result, you hermits were forced out, right?"
"...We show up on our own initiative." The long-haired man emphasized.
Ma Wei ignored him and continued: "Then you who have nowhere to go want to find a place to stay, but the Romanov Kingdom is now in such chaos that the Wisdom Cult is not easy to mess with, so you decided to Is it on my head?"
"Although there are some deviations in the process, the conclusion is correct." The long-haired man nodded: "We are indeed here for you, Father Mavey."
"It's nothing to admit. Everyone has difficulties, but..."
Ma Weiping stretched out his hands and a bright smile appeared on his face:
"I welcome your arrival, my child. You are such a timely gift!"
Under the slightly dull gaze of the long-haired man, Mavey grabbed his arm and motioned for Christopher to close the door, "You want to discuss doctrine with me and then decide who will annex whom based on the results, right?"
"Well...it's a merger."
"It's annexation, forget it, it doesn't matter...Christopher, what are you laughing at? Pour the tea!"
Leaning against the door, Christopher was gloating about his misfortune and walked towards the kitchen. Mavie pulled the long-haired man, as if he was afraid that they would run away. He sat on the bench and said softly in his tone and eyes:
"Child, let's start with you. I'm all ears."
