Chapter 38

"I'm a priest of storm church, praise the goddess!" Marguerite raised her head slightly, looked at Connor, and whispered:

"Storm church?" Hearing Marguerite tell her identity, Connor was immediately surprised, but immediately said: "praise the goddess, may the goddess be with me!"

Storm church and earth cult are the two orthodox religions in Kaman empire. Except for these two religions, any religious organization in Kaman is a cult. In the Kaman Empire, the aristocrats, capitalists and the church, represented by the royal family, are in a state of interdependence and mutual support.

The church should abide by the religious law of the Empire and not interfere in the internal affairs of the Empire. At the same time, the constitution of the Empire stipulates that the church not only enjoys the privilege of tax exemption and having a separate armed force, but also the power change of the church is completely decided by the church itself and the imperial administration should not be involved.

Among the two major churches, storm church is more powerful in all aspects than the earth God church, which has relatively mild doctrines. On the west coast of the Empire, in the traditional sphere of influence of the storm church, even the administration of the Empire was influenced by them.

Connor remembers that George told him that just two months ago, guachetino, a famous textile businessman in the city of Rouen, played a joke on Constantine, bishop of the storm Church in Rouen, because he played at a banquet. Hundreds of workers in his three factories were called to strike by the storm church! At first, guacetino, a textile businessman, was also a hard nut. He didn't want to bow his head, but the strike lasted for a week, causing the textile factory of guacetino to lose 10000 pounds.

Guarcetino couldn't hold on any longer. He wanted to ask someone to make a deal with Constantine, but Constantine didn't give a bird at all. Guarcetino was helpless. He had to take off his clothes and kneel in front of the church door of Rune storm church for a night before meeting Constantine reluctantly. As for the final result, guarcetino had no choice, It was guarcetino who, in front of all his workers, kissed Constantine's boots and publicly donated 10000 pounds to storm church that the strike in his factory was put down.

Although the event ended with the church's victory and beating the capitalists in the face, it seriously intensified the contradiction between the local capitalists and the ruling class represented by the aristocracy and the church. George quietly told Connor that the lower house of roon was secretly writing to the storm church headquarters in Bernabeu, the capital of the Empire, Ask to replace Constantine with a new bishop for the storm Church of roon!

"Mr. Connor, are you also a believer of the goddess?" Connor just for the occasion, casually, but Marguerite seems to be a little serious, quite surprised to see Connor.

"I... just when Connor was hesitating, trying to organize language and explain all this, the dance music played by the orchestra in the banquet hall slowly fell down, and a handsome young man jumped up to Connor's side, looked at Connor, looked at Margaret, and said with a smile," Connor, do you know Miss Margaret? "

"Master George, I just met Mr. Connor!" Marguerite explained to George with a smile, then immediately faced Connor and said, "I'm glad to have a dance with a gentleman like Mr. Connor." Then Marguerite took a deep look at Connor and left.

"Connor, do you know? You are great! I wanted to introduce Marguerite to you, but I didn't expect that you gave me a surprise Sitting on the sofa in the dimly lit corner of the ballroom, George gave Connor a smack on the shoulder, winked and said:

In the face of George's teasing, Connor didn't care at all. He forced out a happy smile on his face and thought for a while. He picked up an orange from the table in front of him, peeled the orange and pretended to be casual: "George, Since this Marguerite appeared at your father's birthday party, you should know her origin, right

When he heard Connor ask this question, George pointed out his finger and pointed to Connor, with a meaningful smile on his face. "I know Connor is the most playful. Your careful liver Rebecca has just disappeared, so you want to empathize?"

Connor's action of peeling an orange was a little stunned, and his heart immediately became very sad. George's brain circuit can always think of men and women. But it's good to think of George's thinking so, and save himself from making up a story to cheat him. Connor didn't explain it, so he stuffed the peeled orange into his mouth, Connor muttered, "tell me about that angel. What's the origin of that angel?"

George carefully swept around and saw that no one was paying attention to him and Connor. He immediately lowered his voice and said, "remember what I told you:" remember what I told you about guarcetino? "

Connor nodded. How could he forget such a thing."Half a month ago, seventeen nobles headed by Marquis Harry in the house of Lords and nineteen members headed by Mr. forshandel in the house of Commons, a total of thirty-six people, secretly jointly proposed to storm church headquarters that storm church should dismiss Constantine. If storm Church adopted their proposal, They will donate 100000 pounds to storm Church in the name of the two houses of roon city. If storm church refuses, then all the property owned by 36 members will stop donating to storm church indefinitely! " George tried to keep his voice calm, but Connor could still feel the excitement in his voice.

In today's era, the most important reason why the church can compete with the ruling class of the empire is that the majority of the lower class people trust them. Compared with the king who rules them, the people are more willing to believe in the gods they believe in. However, it is a pity that more than 90% of the clergy who follow the will of the storm goddess, the sacred incarnation in the hearts of the people, walk in the human world, are goods that are superficially pitiful to heaven, but secretly are men, thieves and prostitutes.

The contribution of nobles and capitalists to storm church is actually a protection fee to protect their factories. There will be no strike on the Manor! As the life of the clergy became more and more extravagant these years, they demanded more and more "donations" from the capitalists and nobles, more and more frequently
