"Comrade Meow! Now has reached an urgent moment! We must unite and defeat the enemy Meow!"
In the garden in the evening, Xiao Hei and Fat Orange squatted on a tall stone, lecturing the cats squatting on the walls, eaves, and gardens.
The cats listened carefully and meowed uniformly from time to time. When Mavie took Yunia, Daniel and Laiwen into the garden...
Uh-huh!
The cats turned their heads instantly, and countless pairs of round eyes looked over.
It's a bit permeating...
Ma Wei admitted that one or two cats are very cute, but if there are more cats and they all stare at you...
Still makes people's hair stand on end.
As a predator, every wild cat's eyes are filled with something similar to 'murderous intent'.
"Meow!"
Fat Orange let out a threatening growl in his throat, and the cats immediately lowered their guard, raised their tails, and took elegant cat steps, running over to rub the ankles of Ma Wei and others as a sign of friendship.
"The cats in the Romanov Kingdom are a bit wild." Fat Orange jumped off the stone and walked up to Ma Wei and said: "Many cats have been driven away by humans, so they have a bad impression of humans...Give me more A little time should tame them.”
"Being wild is a good thing, as long as it doesn't hurt anyone."
After touching a forest cat with slender hair that looked like a lion, Ma Wei said casually: "The catnip is almost mature, leave some seeds, and dry the rest to reward them."
"I have a plan for the next development direction of the Cat Legion." Fat Orange said: "The number of cats will be more and more. In view of this situation, I want to mobilize the believers of the church to take the initiative to adopt cats. , one or two per family, this will not only reduce the burden on the church, but also make the streets and alleys full of the eyes of the cat army, so that we can detect any trouble at the first time."
It is not difficult to mobilize believers to adopt cats, and cats are the envoys of Yunia. If they can bloom everywhere...
It is indeed of great benefit to the intelligence collection work of the Truth Church.
"You can try." Ma Wei nodded and said: "But that requires cultivating cat virtues. Cats that are hostile to believers cannot be sent out."
"If it is wild and difficult to tame, let it perform its tasks. The cat army cannot be all domestic cats. There must be some who maintain order." Fat Orange swung his tail and said: "I said, we must lead them to build a cat-owned army. The underground kingdom."
"We can no longer do things like stealing and robbing in the future. Everything must be on the right track. We can't steal from fishmongers and butchers like before."
"certainly."
"Xiao Hei, how is the Little Church investigation going? Is there any progress?"
"Yes, meow!" Xiao Hei held his head high and said with confidence: "After the coup broke out two days ago, many people fled to the areas around Mosk. Some of them were secretive. I asked Maomao to follow them secretly. Go up there and have locked their place, meow!"
Looking at Xiao Hei with his head held high, as if waiting for praise from his owner, Ma Wei bent down to pick him up, stroked the hair on his back, and said, "Take me there."
"Should we close the net now?" Xiao Hei blinked: "Is it too early?"
"Time is running out. Petersburg will launch an attack at some point. We must prepare in advance."
"I know, nya."
Xiao Hei jumped to the ground and said the name of a hotel.
Let Fat Orange, Christopher, and Salina stay to look after the house. Mawei put on his hat and rode a carriage with Yunia, Laiwen and Daniel towards the hotel in the south of the city.
7 o'clock in the evening, Mosk station, hotel on the street.
In the dark room, Alberts stood in front of the window, lifted a corner of the curtain, and carefully observed the guards patrolling the street, with an extremely solemn expression.
"Alberts, how's the situation?"
"It's normal for now...light up."
Alberts lowered the curtains, lit the kerosene lamp, and in the swaying light of the fire, he glanced at the figure sitting on the bed reading the newspaper, and said to his companion: "Recently, Moscow has been under full martial law, and identity verification is required for entry and exit. Although the newspaper I didn’t say it, but there must be a war..."
"So fast?" Arhan, who had slightly curly hair, widened his eyes: "Isn't the Church of Truth afraid of the Wisdom Cult? They should recharge their batteries now!"
"Does the Church of God of Wisdom watch them grow step by step?" Pantia, who has a pair of big green eyes, curled her lips disdainfully: "The Church of Truth has used its believers to launch a coup. The Church of Wisdom will definitely conquer them next. I would do the same if it were me. That’s what it does.”
"But what should we do..." Otanes, the youngest in the room, only 15 years old, held his head, his voice trembling: "No matter which side wins, they will clean up the Romanov Kingdom. Church, we are no match at all!”
No one answered, and there was dead silence in the room. Alberts and Arhan were both silent.
They didn't know what to do. The Hermitage Church didn't have many members, only two to three thousand people. With this few people, it was impossible to go head-to-head with the Church of Truth and the Church of Wisdom...it was simply impossible.
People are like stone, they are like porcelain.
How can porcelain be harder than stone?
"Your faith...has been somewhat shaken."
Alberts and others trembled slightly and looked at the figure sitting on the bed reading the newspaper. During hesitation, Alberts said: "Great God of Hidden Things... Please believe that our loyalty to you is everything." What cannot be changed is that you saved us and we will always follow you.”
"You guys are really shaken."
The figure sitting on the bed put down the newspaper, and the dim kerosene lamp illuminated his face. It was the face of an old man, with many wrinkles. His eyes were cold and he said: "You went to Marvie Enders to debate doctrine a few days ago. Come back." After that, your faith began to waver. Is the Church of Truth really more attractive to you than the Hermitage Church?"
"No...no..." Alberts shook his head immediately, but his tone was not as firm as before.
"If even you are shaken, I think the Hermitage Church has indeed reached the edge of being unsustainable." The old man sighed and said in a hoarse voice: "Maybe it's time to disband..."
Alberts' face changed slightly and he said loudly: "No! No! Great Hidden God Geer, we will definitely follow you!"
"But there are only five of you believers who are willing to follow me to Mosk." The old man stared at the candlelight and said quietly: "I can feel that the beliefs of other believers have begun to waver... The Hermitage Church cannot Help them and leave, it's just a matter of time..."
"It seems that your Excellency has understood the meaning of the church's existence."
The man's calm and mature voice sounded from the window. Alberts' heart trembled. He turned around and saw Ma Wei and the others standing by the window, who had not known when they arrived.
"Father Mawei?!" Pandya stood up suddenly and took two steps back, his green eyes full of fear.
"Good evening, Pandya, Alberts, Arhan..."
Mawei took off his hat and read each of their names: "Please forgive me for entering your room without permission. I will go out if you let me out."
"Are you Maverick Enders?" The old man sitting on the bed cast his gaze.
"That's right, you should be the God of Secrets... Geer."
"What do you want to do?"
"I would like to debate doctrine face to face with Your Excellency."
Without waiting for the old man to answer, Ma Wei picked up a chair, sat opposite the old man, and said, "Your Excellency, what do you think a church, a qualified church, should bring or provide to believers?"
"....shelter."
"No, it should be value."
Bowler hat resting on his knees, Mavi smiles and says: "Emotional value or material value."
The old man frowned and said nothing.
"What do you think parents and children provide each other?"
"Family love."
"Family love is also a value. For parents, most children cannot provide them with material value, but the children themselves can provide them with a lot of emotional value. This is the meaning of children to parents." Ma Wei said: "And for parents For their children, parents can not only provide them with emotional value, but also very important material value, or one of material value or emotional value."
“Couples, friends, relatives... everything that human beings encounter and experience in life is a value exchange in a certain sense. If children cannot provide emotional or material value to their parents, they will be affected by their parents. The rejection is the same between lovers."
"Material value and emotional value are the fundamental needs to maintain the operation of human society. Some people pay more attention to material value, while some people pay more attention to emotional value. The focus varies from person to person."
"A qualified church that wants to grow and develop must not only provide emotional value to believers, but also provide material value. As long as these two points are met, it will only be a matter of time before it rises."
Listening to Ma Wei's description of 'value', the old man's breathing gradually became rapid. She seemed to understand something, and she suddenly woke up like an enlightenment.
What Ma Wei talks about is not only the truth of 'value', but also the core concept of how to develop a church!
This set of 'value' truths applies to almost any situation!
Most people wouldn't say it.
"Your Excellency is sad that you have been abandoned by your followers, but in fact the root cause lies with you." Ma Wei always maintained a vague smile on his face: "If you can wake up to this early and respond to it, We will never be reduced to the situation we are in today.”
"...."
"The so-called teachings are also based on emotional value and material value. Please think carefully, can the teachings of the Hermitage Church really provide emotional value or material value to believers?"
"....cannot."
"This is the source of the monastic church's failure. It has nothing to do with you, because your path was wrong from the beginning." Ma Wei said with a smile: "The Church of Truth can develop to the scale it is today and lead the people to launch a coup. Overthrowing the rule of the Wisdom Cult and the Romanov Kingdom relies on the truth of the soul, including the truth of 'value'."
"To put it simply, if you want to succeed, I suggest you join us temporarily and learn how to use the truth. One day, when you think you have grown up and are capable of establishing a qualified church, our Truth Church is willing to help you rebuild Found a monastic church.”
"What?" The old man raised his head and looked at Ma Wei in disbelief: "Are you... are you... serious?"
"This is the promise I, Mavey Enders, made to you, the great hidden god Geer." Mavey pressed his chest and said seriously: "The truth of integrity is also a kind of spiritual truth. I am a person with People of faith and integrity.”
After saying that, Ma Wei stood up: "This is the invitation letter I sent to you. If you figure it out, please come to St. Basil's Cathedral to see me at any time... Send me a letter and go to the next hotel."
"okay!"
Laiwen stepped forward, held Ma Wei's shoulders, snapped his fingers, and disappeared in an instant with Yunia and Daniel.
It went as quickly as it came, as if it had never appeared before.
The old man stared at the place where Ma Wei disappeared, thinking about the definition of the truth of 'value' in her mind. After a long time, she breathed a sigh of relief and said quietly: "Alberts..."
"exist."
"I finally understand how your faith is shaken... Even I am a little shaken."
The old man's eyes were full of complexity and he sighed:
"Marvie Enders, what a terrible person... like the devil, he knows how to drive people's hearts."
