house witch

Chapter 457 456. Mechanicism

After the first salvation meeting, the actions of the witches began.

In just less than a week, the major gang forces and cult organizations that were domineering in the fringe city of Sin City were inexplicably eradicated.

According to the words of very few eyewitnesses, it seems that a group of girls who can use magic did it. Someone once got drunk at night and saw five little girls walking into those gangs together on the way home in the middle of the night resident, and then the next day the gang was gone.

There are also a small number of gangsters who fear that it is not a girl at all, but a witch possessed by the devil, they are all monsters
Most of those poor survivors seem to be a little insane because of fear, and they will yell about talking goats, half-man, half-goat, half-human, half-cat, half-human, half-horse girls, etc. lies.

Most of the residents in the fringe city don't believe the words of these mentally disturbed gangsters, and they don't even care much about the demise of these gangs, after all, such things are common.

In the eyes of people in the fringe city, this is nothing more than a new gang struggle. The old gang is destroyed, and a new gang will soon take over. Instead of thinking about it, they should think about what to do To scrape together a new protection fee to feed the upcoming new gang.

As a result, the business of the Blood Temple in the city has been booming again in the past two days, and even the group of vampires acting as blood priests are a little tired from drawing blood.

It's just that when people prepared the protection fee early and waited for someone from the new gang to come to collect it, they waited and waited but no one came.

Their days are surprisingly comfortable these days, and even the group of extraordinary villains who ran towards them when they had nothing to do every day disappeared all of a sudden, and the chaotic fringe city suddenly became peaceful.

If there is anything unusual, it is probably because the sites that originally belonged to gangs were suddenly surrounded by people, and the sound of construction came from inside every day.

The weird roar of every construction made people a little uneasy, and they always felt that there was something terrible brewing inside.

Another week later, the surrounding curtains were removed, and what was displayed in front of everyone were two majestic buildings that shocked them.

One is a tall and majestic church, and the other is a huge factory covering a vast area.

And neither of them are common wooden or stone buildings, but large-scale steel structures. The full metal texture makes these two buildings look like two buildings sitting on the ground at first glance. The pitch-black ferocious beast can't help but feel fear at a glance.

After all, in this era, steel is a controlled product, and it is generally used to make armor or weapons for knights and lords. How can it be so extravagant that it can be directly used to build houses.

As for the price of steel, you can know that the most valuable thing in the house of an ordinary knight master is the ancestral armor and long sword.

Now how much steel is used by these two buildings, and how much armor and weapons can be converted, this calculation can almost make everyone suffocate.

This kind of generosity is really a bit beyond the limit of their imagination.

But here comes the question, who can be so arrogant? Why would such a person build these two buildings in such a fringe urban area?

People didn't dare to think, let alone ask, anyway, every time they walked past these two buildings, they were terrified, for fear that they would disturb the gentlemen inside.

It's just that compared with this luxurious and majestic building, the leaders of both the church and the factory are extremely kind.

They will kindly invite passers-by to visit and ask if they would like to join them.

Such an invitation is like a pie in the sky. It is so beautiful that people feel a little unreal, but the people in the fringe city have suffered too much, and they have been beaten so badly that they don’t believe that such a good thing will happen. Most people They didn't even dare to go in, facing the invitation, they just timidly left.

In fact, they were a little apprehensive about refusing, after all, this would not give the old man face, what would they do if they got angry.

Fortunately, the gentlemen of the church and the factory seemed unexpectedly gentle. They were not angry when faced with rejection, and they were very tolerant.

After another week of this, a brave man finally summoned up his courage and walked into the church and factory.

The onlookers watched the brave man enter the door, and some recognized him as Gray, the man picked up by the widow Eve. They also had a daughter, Keleiya, who was very ugly.

Everyone thought that this Gray might not be able to get out after entering, but from morning to evening, when the patience of the onlookers was running out, Gray came out, and he excitedly told everyone what he had seen and heard inside. , Said that the good days of the folks are coming.

According to Gray, this church is called the "Mechanic Church". Although it is indeed a sect, there are no gods worshiped in the church. The priests are just explorers of technology and monks who have embarked on the path of machinery.

The teachings of the church also advocate that people use technology to change their lives, and everyone can rely on the power of technology to obtain a better life.

Gray also said that the factory is where mechanical monks manufacture all kinds of mechanical products. There are countless huge mechanical roars inside, which will make a huge sound like a dragon's roar. The power of those machines is so huge that every operation They are all more efficient than thousands of blacksmiths working together, etc.

In short, Gray's words really stunned the onlookers. After all, they have never seen a church that disrespects gods before, let alone a machine factory. People in this era don't even know what the concept of machinery means. .

But Gray himself is an excellent blacksmith, so there should be some basis for him to say that machines are better than blacksmiths.

But with this machinery factory, wouldn't the blacksmith be unemployed?

There was another commotion in the crowd. After all, blacksmithing is a pretty decent job these days, and their social status is not low after they have mastered forging skills.

For such concerns, the pioneer Gray was very calm. He said that the factory is recruiting workers. He himself has decided to join the factory and change careers to be a worker. Go to work in a factory.

This made many onlookers think that Gray is crazy. After all, there is nothing good about being a worker. The lowest status these days are farmers and workers. Although blacksmiths are also considered workers, they are skilled jobs after all, and their status is not too low. I'm afraid it's not because of my brain that I suddenly changed careers.

In this way, the crowd dispersed again, until another week later, the gate of the Mechanicum and the Mechanical Factory was once again full of people.

Because of the past week or so, the conditions of Gray's family are getting better and better, and even their family can afford meat. What kind of concept is this?
At this time, everyone knew how high the salary of the machinery factory was.

Besides, in the past few days, several "brave men" have worked up their courage to go in and visit, but when others asked, these guys said that Gray was bragging, but it was not that good at all, which made everyone believe it of.

But the lives of those bastards have obviously improved a lot recently. After asking Gray again, everyone discovered that these bastards had actually joined the machinery factory secretly and became new workers.

Good guy, those bastards are making a fortune in silence, and they are deliberately deceiving people in order to reduce competition.

This time, people in the entire city were shocked, and more people mustered up their courage to step into the steel church and factory, and then they went in with suspicion, and walked out with shock and longing.

In less than a month, the entire urban area has an average worker per capita.

"Tsk tsk tsk, I'm so stupid, really, I just think about the working class, but I almost forgot that there are no large factories in this era, let alone a formed working class, there are only some small handicraft workshops. I have to start with the entire large factory and catalyze a working class.”

On the roof of the mechanical church, Dorothy looked at the city below that had changed drastically in less than two months, and said so with a little heart.

To be honest, such behavior is stupid, if it is not for the magical power of magic that can be used to cheat, this kind of nonsense is completely unfeasible.

"Forget it, pulling seedlings to encourage growth will pull seedlings to encourage growth. After all, I don't have so much time to spend slowly. First, use magic to forcibly start the industrial revolution and liberate productivity. Otherwise, when productivity is insufficient, any plan will be free. Enough productivity , that’s the foundation of everything.”

"If you want people's concept of conquering the sky to be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, sufficient material conditions are just needed."

"Although it seems that the normal people have to come to the Renaissance first, and then the industrial revolution, but the reverse is almost the same. After the life is rich, fed and clothed, and the physical needs are met, people have the energy to pursue spiritual needs. Only by satisfying the spiritual control of a church can the foundation of the Faith Church be shaken."

The house witch pinched the corners of her eyes tiredly, then stood up, she came to the window, and looked out of the city.

The reason why the belief of the Angels' Radiance Sect is so prevalent is actually a lot to do with the general poverty of the people in this era. Life is hard and the level of education is low, which naturally makes it easier for people to pray to God and worship Buddha. Belief in the gods is used as spiritual comfort.

Therefore, in order to hinder the spread of the church's beliefs, she had to be ruthless, and she had to do something about it.

People are living in difficulty, so find ways to improve their living standards.

People are low-educated and ignorant, so find a way to raise their education level and get them out of ignorance.

People need spiritual pursuit, so they should meet their spiritual needs with various arts and cultures.

In short, all angles have completely blocked the propagation channels of angelic beliefs, so that there is no soil for angelic beliefs to survive in this land.

Dorothy turned her attention to the factory not far away, where there were mechanical monks wearing priest costumes who were teaching the new apprentices how to use those machine tools to manufacture products.

For these older adults whose minds have solidified to a certain extent, she directly ruthlessly crushed their worldview with this mechanized factory that transcended the times, and then sent people to reshape it.

She also didn't expect this group of medieval civilians to quickly become truly skilled workers. For now, these workers are actually doing assembly line work. Everyone's work is very simple, but it is also boring. .

But after all, she is not a group of vampire capitalists, and she didn't want to let these people spend their lives as consumables on the assembly line, so that's why those mechanical monks taught them.

Work on the assembly line first, get the salary to improve the quality of life, and then slowly learn technology from those mechanical monks. As long as these people are not too lazy to learn the technology taught by Bai, they will gradually master some mechanical skills of.

In short, the ascending channel is given to you, and it is up to them whether they can grasp it.

Although Dorothy said that machines teach everyone to be equal, this only refers to equality in personality. Equality in social status is impossible. After all, there is no way for the gap in individual abilities to be as strong as a witch. erase.

However, there are differences in ability and natural status. This is a matter of course. You can't just let the mediocre get something for nothing just for the sake of fairness.

Dorothy withdrew her gaze, then picked up a mechanical dragon mask on the table and put it on. In this way, with the nun's costume on her, the house witch has turned into a mechanical monk.

Although in fact, in the entire Mechanic Cult, there are only two Mechanic Brothers in the true sense, one is her, and the other is Denisa.

The other church members are real machines/monks, all of them are mechanical self-discipline dolls made by house witches with puppetry.

Although such a fake doll made little sister Audrey astonished, but for Dorothy, this is really the basic skill of puppetry.

It's a pity that without the power of a witch, it is difficult to endow these puppet monks with high intelligence without the power of a witch, so these puppet monks sometimes appear mentally retarded. Fortunately, because the workers are very in awe of these Mechanic monk, so this abnormality is harmless, it will be regarded as the eccentric character of the monk master, and it can be explained.

And when Dorothy left the office on the top floor of the church and came downstairs, she heard the noisy sound of children reading, which made a soft smile appear on the face of the house witch's mask.

Maybe it's because she is using the body of the Moon God. The incarnation of the Moon God is inexplicably rich in maternal nature. Therefore, this makes the House Witch always be extra friendly to these children.

Compared with those adults in the factory who are not very malleable even if they reshape their three views, this group of children here are the real future pillars of Mechanicus.

The house witch is looking forward to it so much
　The flesh and blood are weak, let's mechanically ascend together.
