Count Soron was a little angry. Unexpectedly, these missionaries finally came to their own territory and started preaching.
"Archbishop Your Excellency, you are not welcome here, you should leave."
Fidel·Sauron, the successor of Count Noble Title, led soldiers to stand in front of the missionary.
"We are here on behalf of the Church."
Adriana took out the cross that exuded holy light on his chest.
Interestingly, even after the two sides fought like this, the empire did not publicly declare that the Church was the mortal enemy of the empire.
Therefore, when Archbishop takes out the token, Fidel cannot prevent the other party from entering the territory.
"You are not allowed to do anything."
Fidel said with gloomy eyes, and then followed these people in person.
The missionaries indeed did nothing. They walked in the earl's territory, did not bring out the teachings of Lord of Dawn, and did not pray for the glory of the Lord and the glory of the Church.
They walked and walked, facing the curious eyes, the missionaries who sensed something would move towards some slaves and even civilians.
Immediately afterwards, Healing Art or Clarity Art fell, healing the other party's injuries and Dispel their fatigue.
Then after it is over, say a mantra, may the Lord's Dawn bless you.
This is what the Church missionaries will say after Divine Art is released, so they are indeed not preaching, and Fidel has no clue about it.
In this way, several missionaries walked around the count's territory for two or three days, and then left on their own. They shuttled among the Viscount's Territory and Baron territories, doing the same thing without any overstep.
They did not preach openly, but everyone in the territory knew that the believers of the Church were coming.
Perhaps it is difficult for them to come into contact with them for the second time, but these people can communicate when they get together when they have nothing to do.
For civilians and slaves, their lives are already boring, and those topics come over and over again. Now that there is an additional topic that can attract others' curiosity, they will naturally not keep it.
What kind of divine healing, what kind of divine blessing, etc. The spread of topics naturally left a mark on the hearts of these people.
This is the Empire, so that's enough for the missionaries.
They may not spread their faith here, but the people of the empire must know the existence of the Church.
As long as you know, then the empire, a dark place where Dawn cannot shine, will breed countless seeds, waiting for a certain opportunity the Church.
At that time, the Lord's faith will surge rapidly.
The missionaries kept walking, and after walking through the entire Dragon Mountain County, they headed to Zero Crossing Prefecture. No surprise, everyone including Frozen Earth Territory would welcome their arrival.
Baron Ryan, who has been regarded as one of his own, of course can't find any reason to refuse.
However, in comparison, the spread of faith in Frozen Earth Territory is undoubtedly more difficult.
Because of the environment here and Baron Ryan itself.
In the eyes of the people of Frozen Earth Territory, Baron Ryan, their lord is a person favored by Deities. He can easily cross the gate of Otherworld and bring them from that desperate world to this world where they can survive.
Isn't this Miracle? Therefore, this group of people are very loyal to Ryan.
Perhaps this does not affect their belief in Lord of Dawn at the same time, but there is a lord who is already favored by Deities, why should they abandon the near and seek the far away?
In this world with Deities, it is impossible for the existence of divine power to disappear, but Ryan can easily take it all into his hands through various means.
To control divine power with Royal Authority, you first need to possess both.
This is what the empire is doing, God of Light, the great and Eternity god.
Therefore, under the pressure of these missionaries, Grand Cathedral of Light outside South Imperial Capital finally agreed to Lord Ryan's proposal.
Through Marquis of Northwind, Grand Cathedral of Light and Baron Ryan signed a three-year agreement.
Every three months, Baron Ryan will provide 10,000 birch bark books, worth five silver coins each.
The price is high, but this is normal, in this world - books themselves are precious objects.
Even if they were books that could withstand the extraordinary inheritance of knowledge, they would be even more priceless treasures.
This is almost the reason why ordinary people are illiterate. Buying a book like this will make them eat dirt for a long time.
Ten thousand copies every three months. According to the ratio of one to twenty to one hundred, that is 2,500 Gold Coin.
One year is 10,000 Gold Coin. The value of this transaction is obviously very high.
Ryan has never underestimated the value of ten thousand Gold Coin, even though he has earned a lot of wealth through many means.
He understands that only a steady flow of water is the real way to make money. Making quick money once or twice is just luck.
Books are expensive, but they end up free in the homes of people who might not be able to afford a book in their lifetime.
It is even possible that along with such good things as sending eggs and bread, they will be given to the civilians for free.
Bread can make people full, and eggs are one of the few foods that civilians can supplement with protein at intervals. The Holy See did this in the past, and the current empire has also begun to reproduce it. I think that soon, the greatness of the God of Light will be known to countless people.
When they encounter trouble in the future, they will pray to God of Light in their hearts.
Slowly, Imperial House will combine Columbus and God of Light, completely occupying the divine power and Royal Authority.
That's why Ryan said that the essence of this war of faith is an economic war.
For the common people of the empire, whoever gives good things and gives more gifts will be the one they believe in, at least in the initial contact, this must be the case.
"Ten thousand copies in three months, does this mean you look up to me, or do you look down on me?"
Ryan had a smile on his face. Through the tips and descriptions in his words, as well as the people of Otherworld who had inherited their skills, Frozen Earth Territory's manufacturing industry was already at least ten times more efficient than Northwind Province.
The process of making birch bark books, such as screening, logging, cooking, pulping, pressing, and drying, has changed from the miserable stage to the current assembly line, and each process has strict standards.
The quantity of 10,000 copies in three months may be a lot of pressure for other territories of the same size, but for Frozen Earth Territory, it is only one-third of the quantity.
And it will not affect land reclamation, planting and forging.
The cost was even more compressed than imagined. A completely completed birch bark book, from production to delivery to Marquis of Northwind, would cost no more than thirty copper coins.
The cost of a book is no more than one-third of a silver coin, but it can be sold for five silver coins. Among them, the profit is fifteen or sixteen times...
Lord Ryan had more smiles on his face.
