In the early summer of 1748, William returned to Circassian with a package of cooperation plans with the Briton Company.
This was the original plan. otbnkotgt "You said that you are the special advisor and diplomatic envoy to the Alchemist's highest official in the Old Continent."
He looked at the middle-aged man who looked at him with a warm smile in front of him.
William repeated what the middle-aged man said before with some confusion.
"Yes."
The middle-aged man continued to smile, nodded slightly, and looked at William intently.
It's like looking at some kind of precious antique.
He completely ignored Father Peter, who was restless beside him.
Put all your energy into William.
"Okay," William said, while squinting at Father Peter, this middle-aged man with black hair in Gothic tradition, who was brought here by Father Peter.
"Even if you say that, just treat it as your identity.
And I, an outstanding Crusader general who has just been commended by the Pope, have temporarily ignored all alchemical research that has been promulgated for hundreds of years, regardless of purpose.
These are illegal papal decrees.
Why did you come here to see me?"
Yes, just like William said.
Although the greatest difficulty in defeating the Tartariya Khanate was placed on Duke Otto's head by the world.
But he still got a little consolation prize.
Mixed with the title of "Outstanding Crusader General".
William privately speculated on the thinking of the Holy See.
He seemed to think that he was a young man and easy to fool.
So I wanted to use some false reputation to trap him.
One step further, let him influence Duke Otto.
To this, William didn't want any answer other than "haha".
After hearing William say such words casually, the envoy's expression did not change.
But the light in his eyes became even hotter: "Sure enough, William von Hereford's belief is not firm.
And he does not refuse to cooperate with alchemists.
He is a thorough pragmatist."
He thought so in his heart, and then said to William: "We are very interested in you and your Mystia.
Of course, this does not mean that we are hostile to you or your country.
It means that we hope You can cooperate with us to a certain extent.”
"Cooperation" William hesitated for a moment: "But to be honest, I don't understand your organization very well.
What do you want to get and what do you want from me?
What can you provide to me and to Mesti?"
What is Asia?”
"Perhaps, my companion has already given you a rough introduction to some of our organization's concepts and the current situation of our organization."
The middle-aged man said this while looking at Father Peter.
The poor old priest seemed a little frightened in front of the middle-aged man.
"In fact, it is true that our organization is not a rigorous organization in a sense.
It is like an alliance.
An alliance against the Holy See.
If we talk about the highest program of the alchemists.
Whether it is the pursuit of Ai Zhe Hongshi, the purest alchemist who pursues the truth, is also a cult member who is trying to sell someone else's flesh, or he is one of the great nobles who secretly participated in the alliance.
Our actions have only one meaning and that is to overthrow the Holy See. " "I still don't understand."
William said: "How to overthrow the Holy See.
In a sense, the Holy See has been overthrown more than once.

Sometimes it was the emperor of the Ostrogothic Empire.
Sometimes it was the Lombardy Peninsula.
A local nobleman, and sometimes he is simply a little-known assassin."
"It's not about overthrowing in that sense.
In fact, if we want to, we can indeed organize an army of 100,000 or even 200,000 people in the shortest time.
Go south to the Holy See in Lombardy, and then wipe out the entire Holy See.
But that is meaningless because of the deep-rooted faith.
As long as the faith of the Lord of Glory remains, the Holy See will still be rebuilt in the shortest time."
"Don't you want to defeat the Lord of Glory?"
William looked at the middle-aged man's wooden tube as if he was looking at a lunatic.
"No, no, no, you really misunderstood me.
Although there are also lunatics with this kind of thinking in this alliance, it is not the mainstream.
The vast majority of alliance members still respect this god very much. .
After all, it was the Lord of Glory who came during the most difficult dark age for mankind and helped the people in the dark age overcome a large number of difficulties.
We can't repay kindness with enmity, right?
Not to mention, there are still a large number of priests like this friend in the alliance, although their status in the Holy See and their number are not very large. " As he said this, he gestured to Father Peter: "So, I did not say to defeat the Lord of Glory.
Our goal is to establish a new Holy See.
Establish a new faith.
A more peaceful and enlightened one.
A new Holy See.
A Holy See that does not oppose any alchemical experiments.
It is also a Holy See that has a positive attitude towards the development of science and technology and will not prevent us from exploring the mysteries of this world.”
"I kind of understand what you mean."
William nodded: "You want to reform religion, is that right?"
"Yes.
Yes.
I knew you would be able to understand me."
The middle-aged man looked very excited: "The current Roman Catholic Church is too decadent and too rigid.
At the same time, it is too unreasonable.
Yes, some inhumane and extremely destructive alchemical experiments are prohibited.
But most other alchemists are not that kind of crazy.
We are rational.
Without us, those who explore the mysteries of this world, most of the world would still be living in a state of ignorance.
Steam engines, railways, ocean-going sailing ships, and gunpowder weapons are all technologies and equipment that promote human progress.
All are closely related to the alchemist
Astronomy, mathematics, physics, chemistry.
All scholars who study natural sciences are inextricably linked to us.
We have achieved so many achievements, and we have worked so hard for a better tomorrow for mankind.
However, as long as there is the existence of the Holy See.
As long as the traditionalist beliefs of the Holy See exist, then we will not be able to use our full strength to think about it, Your Majesty, think about it.
What would we achieve if we got rid of all the constraints?
We would become birds in the sky and fish in the water.
Human beings will go up to the sky and into the sea, and they will be able to do anything.”
Speaking of the excitement, the middle-aged man stood up from his seat.
His arms were stretched upward, his face was red, and he looked extremely excited.

It must be said that this guy's eloquence is indeed good.
And what he said was very exciting.
Together with the body language and the ups and downs of the tone, it is very contagious.
Just like the priest Peter next to William, his expression also became very excited.
It looks like a real infection.
His expression was not as excited as that of the middle-aged man.
However, what surprised and disappointed the middle-aged man.
William was indifferent.
"You answered the first question."
William raised a finger: "Then, regarding the second, there is a third question.
Please answer it."
"Okay."
The middle-aged man's warm smile immediately turned into a bitter smile.
At the same time, he added to his understanding of William in his heart: "Yes, he is indeed a pragmatist.
A complete pragmatist.
He is cold and does not look like a young man of this age.
Instead, he looks like someone over forty years old. , an old fox with a deep city.
"We can increase the development speed of your country."
The middle-aged man said in a confident and slightly seductive tone: "You should know that two hundred years ago, Briton was a backward traditional farming country no different from the other countries in the Old World.
It was us who changed everything.
Because the King of Briton at that time agreed with our proposition.
So we helped him get everything he wanted.
Today, two hundred years later, Briton has become the strongest among the nations.
Technology is the most advanced.
The fleet spans the seven seas.
The level of wealth is also the first in the world.”
"However, none of this belongs to King Britton and the royal family."
William added in his heart that yes, Britton did complete all of this.
In this process, the alchemists contributed a lot.
It can be said that they contributed a lot, but at the same time, the British royal family was also ignored by this alliance, those emerging capitalists with strong alchemist backgrounds.
In Brythonic territory, it was not just the traditional beliefs of the Roman Catholic Church that were replaced.
There is also the most important royal power.
Of course, William did not say such heart-wrenching words, as if he could not break up with Briton Company at this time.
At this time, he couldn't break up with the alchemist's alliance.
He doesn't have that much power yet.
"That is to say, you, you can provide me with some um some advisors" William asked.
"We can provide a large number of various talents."
The middle-aged man said very confidently: "We have the best scholars and can provide you with a large number of professional talents.
We also have the best engineers who can Design the best artillery, build the best factories and the best warships for you. , we also have a large number of consultants, a large number of economists, a large number of researchers, and a large number of military talents.
In fact, if you are willing, we can even train a fleet for you, or a fleet.
A powerful and invincible army" 160420oshow7:
