How to become a mermaid

Chapter 373 Light and Darkness

This banquet can be described as a feast for the guests and the host.

Both Moni and the Arctic creatures got what they wanted.

After they had eaten and drank well, Moni arranged for his servants to take the visiting fishes from the North Pole around the palace.

As for Shaman Lair and Planck, they stayed.

They had other things to talk to Money about.

Seeing that there are only two "own fish" left here, Moni suddenly lost his scruples, and asked Shamanlell and Plank straightforwardly: "Do you think... taking advantage of this cooperation opportunity to make Poch How about preaching to the North Pole?"

Hearing this sentence, Shamanlaer and Plank shook their heads together, and replied: "It's not the time yet!"

"Why?" Moni was a little puzzled.

Now that the Principality of Digea and these arctic creatures are about to cooperate, now is a good time to spread the Poki religion to the North Pole!

Faced with Moni's doubts, Shamanleir said slowly: "I told you in the letter before that the Arctic region is not yet unified, and the division of forces above is more complicated."

"This kind of scattered power is actually quite unfavorable for preaching."

"It is impossible for every tribe to send a few missionaries to spread the word and build a Pochi church."

"In addition, most of the Arctic creatures already have beliefs. A small number of tribes believe in their heroic ancestors, and some believe in powerful nature, such as the sea and the sky."

"As for the most mainstream, I still believe in Brutal, the patron saint of the Arctic."

"Under such a general environment, spreading the Poki religion on a large scale is a thankless task!"

"What's more, the North Pole has just started cooperating with Di Geya. It would be a bit eager for quick success if he is so eager to recruit followers for Pochi."

Another point, Shaman Lair did not say clearly, due to the harsh environment, the beliefs of arctic creatures follow pragmatism, and basically they believe whoever is strong.

The purpose of the Poki religion is to please the body and mind, not to bring power, and some of them do not meet the needs of the current arctic creatures.

After hearing this, Moni couldn't help frowning.

However, he still didn't give up his idea, showed a natural expression, and said to Shamanleir: "In this case, why don't you try to unify the North Pole? Just like I am doing now!"

Hearing his words, Shamanlaer rolled his eyes directly, and said angrily: "It's not as simple as you think!"

"The environment in the Arctic is no worse than Feidenan Continent where you humans live. The climate there is so bad that it snows heavily for at least 360 days out of [-] days a year. Flooded by heavy snow!"

"Because of the vastness of the place, the creatures living on it are relatively rare, so sometimes it takes a long time to go from one tribe to another."

"Don't talk about conquering other tribes, unless the two tribes are close to each other, they won't want to visit other tribes."

"In addition, all the tribes are almost poor, and you won't get much benefit after conquering other tribes, so basically no fish wants to unify the North Pole. At most, they just win over a few tribes around them!"

In the end, Shaman Lear concluded: "If the living standards of Arctic creatures are not improved, unification is still far away!"

It's not like he hasn't thought about supporting a tribe to unify the North Pole, but no tribe is willing to take on this job!He can't unify the North Pole by himself!
After listening to Samantel's explanation, Moni probably understood.

In the final analysis, the number of Arctic creatures is too small to generate enough friction.

Just like dropping a few drops of clear water on a huge plate, due to the distance, they can only look at each other from a distance and have never been able to blend together.

If the living environment in the Arctic is improved and the Arctic creatures above have more children, these water droplets will become more numerous, and then the water droplets will collide with each other and gradually merge into a bowl of water!

Touching his chin and thinking for a while, Moni could only reluctantly give up the idea of ​​preaching to the Arctic creatures now, and said, "Let's talk about this matter in a year or two!"

"There is one other thing that I think can be done now!"

"I plan to establish a pharmacist training academy in Digeya, and make it the best pharmacist training institution in the whole continent!"

"For this goal, I hope to hire you, Planck, as the dean of this academy!"

Don't look at Shaman Lair as if there are pharmacists everywhere, it seems that pharmacists are very common.

In fact, pharmacists are extremely rare no matter whether they are human beings or marine life. It is not an exaggeration to describe them as "one in a million".

This also includes many low-level pharmacists who can only treat minor illnesses such as colds and fevers, and there are very few pharmacists who can truly be regarded as excellent.

Planck's level is already among the top group of pharmacists.

However, he himself didn't have this self-awareness. When he heard that Moni wanted him to be the dean of some college, he shook his head like a rattle.

"No... no! I... I don't think my level is good enough for such an important job!" Plank eagerly refused.

He had obviously drank the potion for stuttering, but he still stumbled because of nervousness.

Received Planck's refusal, Moni did not give in at all, and directly said domineeringly: "Don't want you to think, I want me to think!"

"Planke, become the dean of our Digeia National Pharmacist College!"

"No... no!" Plank shook his head again.

"You can!" Money said again.

"I really can't!" Planck still disagreed.

"You're really good!"

"me…"

"Enough!" Hearing their tugging back and forth, Shamanlael at the side finally couldn't help interrupting them.

He turned his head and scolded Money: "Why do you force him if he disagrees! Are you trying to bully Planck again?"

Hearing this, Mo Ni showed a hint of embarrassment on his face.

Shamanleir is really right. Moni used to persecute Planck when he was on the boat, and now he substituting into the previous state of mind unconsciously...

"Cough... sorry!"

Coughing lightly to cover up his embarrassment, Mooney changed his mind and began to understand Planck with reason and emotion.

He said seriously: "Actually, I want to establish this organization to prepare for the future!"

"Now the profession of pharmacists adopts a monopoly inheritance method. Basically, only big families and rich people can learn, so the number of pharmacists is scarce."

"We can still handle it in normal times, but when encountering a situation like war, the pharmacists are simply overwhelmed!"

"Sooner or later, we will have a large-scale war with the Holy Fire Cult. If we have enough pharmacists here, can we reduce the loss a little? Save more lives?"

After Mooney finished speaking, Plank's eyes shone slightly, obviously a little moved.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Moni also hurriedly hit the rails while it was hot: "The college I established is following the people-friendly route. It no longer restricts the scope of recruiting pharmacist apprentices to the upper class, and those talented commoners can also come in and learn!"

"All the expenses for their studies in the college will be provided by the college in the form of ultra-low-interest loans, which can be repaid slowly after they complete their studies!"

"As long as there are people with the spirit of saving lives and healing the wounded, we welcome them to join!"

After saying this, Moni seemed to feel that something was missing, and added: "Of course...you must be a devout Pochist!"

In addition to the reasons mentioned above, Moni's purpose of running the academy is more to promote the Boqi religion.

The reason why Edwin's Sacred Fire Cult can develop so fast now is not only the support of the upper class, but also the fact that it can bring tangible benefits to the people.

In order to open up the "market" occupied by Edwin's Sacred Fire Cult, Moni decided to use some ruthless tactics.

Not everyone wants to spend 99 gold to get a baby, but sure everyone wants something bigger!
Becoming a pharmacist will change the fate of a commoner's life. He doesn't believe that ordinary people in other countries can not be moved!

Not to mention civilians in other countries, even Planck and Shaman Lear were moved.

"I...can I really take on such an important responsibility?" Plank said with a worried expression.

"Believe in yourself! You can definitely do it!" Mo Ni encouraged with a serious face.

"Okay! Then I'll give it a try!" Plank finally nodded in agreement.

Seeing that he was persuaded, Moni smiled with satisfaction, then turned his gaze to Shamanleir, and asked with a smile: "Little fish, do you want to be the vice president?"

"You don't need to show up frequently in school, you just need to have a name!"

"I don't want to!" Samantel refused without thinking, but then continued: "But I can contribute to this academy in other ways!"

"In what way?" Money asked.

"Why don't I help you write textbooks! Since you are going to take classes, you must have a unified textbook! I think I can give it a try!" Shaman Lair said positively.

During these years in the North Pole, he had read most of Zorro's notes and books, Planck's notes, and even Mooney's things several times.

As far as making potions is concerned, Samantel dare not say how strong his hands-on ability is, but his knowledge reserve is definitely enough.

And his eyes also have the effect of error correction, which can avoid mistakes as much as possible.

The most important thing is that Shamanleir feels that his name appears on the first page of the textbook, which is a very cool thing!
In the future, these students who learn potion making will see his name no matter which book they open.

"Okay!" Moni's eyes lit up as soon as he heard that Shamanlaer was going to help him compile the textbooks, and he said excitedly: "Then let's put it this way, Xiaoyu, you must help me!"

"Hey... this is not from the white gang!"

Shamanleir showed a serious expression on his face, and said solemnly: "I have to charge a fee. I only charge one gold coin for each word. It's a good deal!"

"It's not just me, Planck will also pay you a salary as the principal, on a daily basis!"

Although it was obvious that he was robbing money, Moni was not short of money now, so he nodded without thinking, and said, "Yes! Just do as you say!"

"But..." Seemingly thinking of something, Mo Ni changed the subject and asked, "Xiaoyu, are you short of money now? If you are short of money, you can tell me directly!"

"No! I'm not short of money, I just want to experience the feeling of making a lot of money!"

…………

While Samantel and Moni were discussing the academy, at the same time, a group of malicious people gathered in the palace of the Mayan Empire.

"I heard that the group of bumpkins from the North Pole have arrived in Digeya?" Olivier Maya, the contemporary king of the Mayan Empire, sat on the throne and said to the ministers below.

"Yes, Your Majesty! The spies we sent to Digea sent news that they saw Moni's carriage team passing through the city, and they should have picked up those Arctic guys!" One of the ministers immediately replied .

Hearing the affirmative answer from his subordinates, Olivier thought for a while and asked: "So far, how many Holy Fire churches have we established in the whole continent?"

"There are 720 rooms in total!" someone replied.

"What about the so-called Boqi religion?" Olivier asked again.

"Seat 570 two!"

"Damn it!" Hearing this answer, Olivier showed an angry expression on his face, and cursed: "They only have such a small place, how could they build so many churches!"

"Damn Money, if this goes on, we'll build churches to the North Pole!"

"We have to find a way to kill his limelight! We can't let them successfully negotiate a cooperation with those Arctic guys!" Olivier said through gritted teeth.

After finishing speaking, he turned his head to look at his ministers, and asked in a serious tone: "Whoever you have an idea, come and listen to it!"

"Your Majesty, I think we can send people to sneak attack on those Arctic guys, and then plant the blame on Di Geya's people!" A minister said graciously.

"Well, I'll leave this matter to you!" Olivier nodded, and lightly assigned the task to the minister who came up with the idea.

"Huh?" The minister was stunned by the sudden important order.

However, before he could evade, Olivier waved his hand directly, and said impatiently: "Okay, you guys go down first!"

"Yes...Your Majesty!" The ministers looked at each other and reluctantly withdrew.

After they left, a figure in a white robe slowly emerged from the shadow of the palace, and appeared in front of Olivier.

Olivier was not surprised by the appearance of this person, but asked calmly: "My lord priest, how is Bishop Edwin's current situation, and how long is it before he starts to ascend the gods?"

"Bishop Edwin has already walked halfway from man to god," said the priest.

Olivier was not satisfied with this answer, and said eagerly: "There is still half? We have clearly spread the Holy Fire Cult to all places except the north!"

The priest shook his head and retorted: "Quantity alone is not enough!"

"There are too few devout believers, and the faith they provide is not enough, so we plan to convert all believers into fanatics on this year's Founding Day!"

"Will this... be too risky?" Hearing this arrangement, Olivier hesitated.

Most of his citizens are members of the Holy Fire Cult, and after turning into fanatics, they will all become lunatics who don't care about anything other than the Holy Fire Cult!
If Edwin fails to ascend to the gods in the end, it will be a devastating blow to Maya!

"Are you afraid?" Seeing Olivier's retreat, the priest's tone instantly became cold.

He looked at Olivier indifferently, and said, "From the very beginning, we have no way out!"

"As the Boqi religion grows stronger, the bishop will gain less and less faith. We must crush them before they fully develop!"
