Chapter 460: The Phenomenon of Mind Stamping
Wright did visit the printing factory and was impressed by the amazing printing machine in the factory. The main purpose of his visit was actually to try to print a batch of new sects to assist in missionary preaching, but he was still frightened by the number proposed by Gao Wen.
Obviously, the "printing a batch of promotional materials" in his previous concept was not the same as what Gao Wen thought.
What Wright initially thought was to print hundreds or thousands of books of the Scriptures, so that it would be enough to be distributed in the church.
Although he is the first "White Knight" in human history, although he has embarked on the path of reforming the Church of the Holy Light, and although he has been at the forefront of everyone in the doctrine of the Way of the Holy Light, his starting point is ultimately a low-level missionary, and his past experience has seriously bound his vision and imagination.
But Gao Wen believes that none of this is a problem. As time goes by, anyone's vision has a chance to improve. In the face of the future magic wave and the magic industrial era that confronts it, no one's vision is enough.
"One hundred thousand volumes are just an expected number. Even for industrial printing presses, it is a big order, but it is definitely not impossible to achieve," said Gao Wen, who said his thoughts. "We need all kinds of publicity, from the simplest flyers to Protestant brochures with complete teachings. What satisfied me the most is that it is a priest city. There are huge numbers of priests and priests in the city, and even civilians are relatively wealthy and devout believers close to the church. Their literacy rate is very high, otherwise our leaflets will not be used."
Amber next to him was startled by Gao Wen's thoughts at first, but at this time some doubts arose: "But then again, can you defeat those charlatans by throwing the new teachings into Lu'an? Will it stimulate the nerves of those charlatans and make them fight Cecil more enthusiastically?"
"Of course some of them will be stimulated and fight us more firmly, but there will definitely be some who agree with our teachings, or at least question the past practices of the Church of Light," Gao Wen said patiently, "The Church of Light is so big that it is impossible for only one Wright to be released. Even a team of only a dozen people will have different ideas. Do you think that tens of thousands of people in the entire city of Lu'an really everyone thinks that the Church of Light has done nothing wrong with the past year?"
Amber touched her chin: "emmmmm... what you said makes some sense..."
"What the Lord said is indeed the truth," said Wright with a little emotion. "The Church of the Holy Light is indeed corrupt, but I believe that there must be people with conscience among the middle and lower missionaries. And although my new teachings are arbitrary in the eyes of fanatical conservative believers, in fact, there are always debates within the Church of the Holy Light about whether the power to read the scriptures should be classified. It is also a topic of debate whether the Holy Light belongs to the minority or the majority..."
Amber suddenly widened his eyes in surprise: "You are still arguing about this? I thought your church is full of those diehards from top to bottom. Of course, you are the Berserkers."
"Belsman..." Wright choked for a moment, then smiled helplessly, "Of course there will be arguments. The Church of the Holy Light may be corrupt and fallen, but we are not without the ability to think. Low-level priests have always wanted to gain the power to study the scriptures and explain the doctrines. This is for personal benefit, and the arguments about whether the Light belongs to the majority or the minority is because the God of the Holy Light favors everyone. In addition, there are many conflicts within the Church of the Holy Light. Although I don't like factional struggles, I haven't seen it."
"Wow..." Amber exaggerated, "It seems that your church is much more complicated than I thought..."
Gao Wen hugged his chest with his hands: "A religion that has lasted for so many years and has expanded to this level today cannot be uncomplex."
Then, he touched his chin's beard thoughtfully and said slowly: "But then again, it is not enough to shake the Church of the Holy Light from a spiritual basis... Wright, how is your research progressing on the Spell of the Holy Light?"
"I'm about to report this to you," Wright's face showed a complicated look, and then he slightly turned his head to Emily who was napping on his shoulder. "Emily goes and bring the metal plate in my room."
Emily let out an ethereal chuckled, then her whole body turned into a stream of light and flew quickly to the door behind the main hall. It took no time for her to fly back and her hands were empty.
However, just as Gao Wen began to wonder if the child hadn't found what Wright wanted, he saw Emily leaning into his stomach. The translucent spirit girl took it into her belly for a while. First, she took out a gyro carved from wood, then she took out a handful of naked colorful stones, and finally she took out a rune substrate the size of a palm.
The little girl smiled happily, holding the rune substrate in both hands and handed it to Wright.
Amber was stunned: "How did she hide things... in her belly?!"
"I discovered it by chance," Wright said while taking the rune substrate. "There are always small objects in the church that have been changed places or disappeared for no reason. After observing, I discovered the reason: Although Emily is a spirit body, she can carry some small and not too heavy things. And because it is a spirit body, her body has no clear boundaries, she hid everything in her belly. To be honest, I don't know what she was hiding in her belly... Last time the reading stand on the pulpit stand was broken, she even spit out a nail..."
amber:"……"
To be honest, Gao Wen's surprise was no less than Amber, but at least he had many talented guys under his command, and he also saw strange life forms in the sky over the years. Therefore, he quickly calmed down and took the rune substrate with a serious and calm face, and observed it carefully.
This is indeed the rune substrate substrate. The second generation standard blank template produced in the rune foundry, but in its magic guide area, the engraved element runes are not common element runes, but divine runes that are only used in the Holy Light Divine Art.
This is a "holy light substrate".
"With the help of Director Carmier and Jenny, I reconstructed the first Holy Light spell that was entirely based on runes and commissioned the Rune Foundry to create this substrate," Wright told the story of the birth of this substrate. "It abandons all the rune words that connect to the Holy Light God, which can ensure that the entire casting process has nothing to do with God and is entirely based on mortals."
Gao Wen looked at the lines on the rune substrate that emitted a light golden luster, and couldn't help but feel excited: "You... have really succeeded?!"
"It can only be said that it was a part of the success..." Wright said cautiously, and he took the rune substrate back from Gao Wen's hand and handed it to Amber, who was confused. "Miss Amber, try to inspire it."
Amber took the substrate blankly and suddenly turned around: "You asked me, the Dark Night God, to choose to release the holy light?! How could I do this!"
Gao Wen couldn't help knocking the elf's shameful head: "Let's not talk about whether your self-proclaimed Dark Night God Choice is real, have you forgotten what the principle of the rune substrate? Just inject magic power, who asked you to cast spells by yourself?"
"Oh, that's right..." Amber then realized. She scratched her hair and looked at Wright with some concern. "That's right, this thing won't explode after it is activated, right? I'll tell you that my defense is super low..."
"This is just a sacred light," Wright said with a giggle, "I promise."
Amber curled her lips: "Okay, then I'll give it a try."
This is probably the most wonderful experience of this half-elves lady in her life. She has always claimed to be the choice of Dark Night God and is quite resistant to the holy light. She actually has the opportunity to use her own power to release a holy light technique, which makes her feel a little eager to try. Therefore, although she was very unhappy on her face, she still held the rune substrate firmly and began to inject magic into the copper substrate on the edge of it.
The light golden lines on the rune substrate immediately became brighter, and the runes lit up one by one, but a white light was about to condense into those runes, and it automatically disappeared.
"Oh, it's not what I broke it." Amber quickly threw the substrate to Wright, "This thing seems to be a problem."
"In fact, it's not a problem." Wright smiled bitterly and injected magic into the substrate. Almost instantly, a pure holy light condensed on the substrate: a completely formed holy light technique.
Emily, who was floating beside her, shouted happily, stepped forward and picked up the holy light and left, then flew to a distance and started to chew: This is her "biscuit".
"Uh..." Amber first glanced at Emily in amazement, then looked at Wright, "That holy light just now... did you confirm that you didn't release it yourself and pretend that the substrate was not broken?"
"The Holy Light is indeed released from the rune substrate," Wright said seriously, "I won't lie."
Amber was dissatisfied when she heard this: "Then why can't I use it..."
"Because of the seal of the soul," said Wright, "you have the seal of the soul for the God of Light in your heart."
"...Stop making trouble, how could I have that thing!!" Amber was stunned for a moment, then waved his hand with anger and smile, "I don't believe in the God of Holy Light, I don't believe it at all!"
"We have analyzed that the spiritual seal was born with the birth of every mortal. Whether you believe in the corresponding god or not, or even whether you know the existence of this god, this seal is innately imprinted in the depths of the soul of every mortal," Gao Wen looked at Amber with an extremely serious expression just now. Just now, he finally saw the scene of the spiritual seal taking effect with his own eyes for the first time. This has caused a stir in his heart, but he still analyzed calmly, "Now it seems that the spiritual seal is different from the so-called awe or ideological interference. This thing... is more difficult than we imagined."
"Yes, after the Holy Light substrate was created, we observed the phenomenon of the spiritual seal through it, whether it is Madame Hetty, Miss Rebecca, or any mage, knight, or rune master in the territory, it is impossible to drive this rune substrate, because... the spiritual seal exists deep in everyone's soul. So far, there are only two exceptions, one is me and the other is Master Kamier."
"I... go..." Amber opened his eyes wide and exclaimed in disbelief, "I... I've been locked by this kind of thing since I was born?! I... I can't feel it at all!"
"Its terrible lies in the fact that it cannot feel it. It is hidden deeper than the subconscious. It will make you lose specific freedoms without even being aware of it. You feel that you do not believe in the God of the Holy Light and are not bound by the God of the Holy Light, but in the deepest part of your thinking... you will instinctively think that the Holy Light belongs to God," Gowen said, taking a deep breath, "Everyone is its prisoner."
