Secret: Storm Pigeons are still Storm Pigeons

Chapter 210 Ikanser: Oh no, I got taken advantage of for free!

Backlund St. George District, St. Hillran Church.

"Deacon Ikanser, does what you said last time about Tingen Technical University still count?" Old Blue found the deacon's office and immediately saw Ikanser, who was pulling his messy hair behind the desk.

"Hey... why are you Storm guys so noisy?" Ikanser started complaining as soon as he saw Old Blue, with great resentment.

"Ah? What's wrong? Didn't you say you would donate 100 million pounds to build a university in Tingen? Why are you complaining about me now?" Old Blue closed the door and said it was a "donation"... but others didn't believe it! It would be bad if it got out.

"Huh? You raised 100 million? Are you kidding..." Ikanser sat up straight, shocked.

"Well... no." Old Blue answered simply and continued:

"But I can pay in installments! How about I pay your church over a hundred years?"

"..."

"Just a joke..." Old Blue sighed in his heart when he saw Ikanser silent. He couldn't help but laugh... He really had this money, it came from the human trafficker Kapin... That's right, Kapin had so much money, and this did not include the gold, silver, jewelry, antiques, land deeds... This business of making huge profits without any investment was so outrageous.

When it was alive, it even wanted to clean up its name and use the saved money to buy fiefdoms and titles to become a real upper-class person.

And kind-hearted old Bruce hung it high up, becoming the "upper class" in physics... Well, it was the right thing to do. It fulfilled Kapin's lifelong wish, so wasn't it right for him to collect all the wealth it had saved?
It’s a pity that Old Bruce cannot directly take out this huge sum of money, he still needs to make some adjustments.

"I don't have money, but I can give you a lot of company shares! They are valuable!" Old Bruce said sincerely while sitting in the chair in front of his desk.

"Let me guess... you just established the company? Uh, today is Saturday... did the tax department give you a good look? Didn't they just yell at you, 'Get out, old man'?" Ikanser was obviously very familiar with the process of registering a company.

"How is that possible! My face is somewhat well-known in Backlund, right? The girl from the tax department even wanted my autograph when she saw me... Well, even if it's a newly established company, it will appreciate in value in the future! Um... 'Perpetual Motion Energy Unlimited Co., Ltd.'... How about giving you half of the shares? I'm the full controlling shareholder now..." Old Blue tried to make a promise.

"What a mess! How dare you mention the 'perpetual motion machine' in front of our Steam Church?!" Ikanser looked incredulous, and he slammed the table loudly, saying:
"Our church had scholars who proposed this project a thousand years ago. It wasn't until Emperor Roselle was truly certain that the 'perpetual motion machine' didn't exist. Our church's thousand-year-old proof is there. You, you, you..."

"You...don't be impatient!" Old Blue imitated Ikanser's words and said:

“Look at you. No matter how much you worship Emperor Roselle, you have to understand that the times are progressing! You are falling into idolatry… uh, you have to believe in God! Not that politician!

"It's 1349, Ikanser! Almost two hundred years have passed since the Roselle era! Ironclad ships covered with steel plates can float on the sea! Airships with complex mechanical structures are also flying around in the sky! It's not surprising that perpetual motion machines have really appeared!

"I founded the company to realize this project that will benefit the whole world. I hope to see that wars in our world are no longer frequent, and I hope to see trust between people! Just like now, I see distrust in your eyes, and my heart aches!

"In order to achieve this great goal, I clearly realized that only by cultivating and attracting more talents in the field of mechanics, and letting their genius brains produce endless inspiration and collide with each other... Boom! The 'perpetual motion machine' was born!

"Therefore, you have to support me, Ikanser. The establishment of this university is imperative! This is not for me, but for the peace of this world!" Two big words were revealed in old Blue's eyes: sincerity!
"You're right, world peace... No, that's not right!" Ikanser nodded subconsciously, but then suddenly realized that what Old Blue was saying... all these words came down to one thing: he didn't want to spend money, but still wanted to build a school. In the end, it was still two words: freeloading!

Old Blue didn't plan to succeed for free right now. He came here to say so much just to convey the message to Ikanser: he has set up a company, which is specially established to raise funds for the construction of the university! In this way, when he really takes out 100 million pounds later, Ikanser will have to accept it with a pinch of his nose!

Free stuff? Ikanser was both angry and amused. How could such a good thing happen in the world? !
Suddenly, he glanced at the "Tingen Development Plan" on the table that was giving him a headache, and then thought about old Bru's plan to build a university... Shit! This... might really be a free ride? !

Ikanser immediately picked up the "plan" and turned to the last page. Sure enough! The signature at the end of the plan was the old Blue in front of him! Damn! People are evil! He immediately questioned:

"Let's not talk about the university for now. Tell me honestly, what is going on in Tingen?

“What does Storm intend to do with your proposed ‘development plan’?
"You're going to Tingen? Why would a Wind-loving One like you go to Tingen? Don't you know that after you go, both Dark Night and our church will have to increase the number of Beyonder teams? Dark Night is fine, but we don't have enough Steam personnel to begin with!"

"Ah?" Old Blue was a little confused. What "development plan"? How come he didn't know about it? Did he propose it? No! He leaned forward and took the document that Ikanser had put on the table. He took a quick look at it:

"'Tingen Development Plan'

"As everyone knows, our Storm Church has been committed to the comprehensive development of the economy, culture, and society throughout Loen. This plan aims to use faith as the foundation to drive the comprehensive progress of the rest of Tingen City, making it a model city where faith and prosperity coexist.

“Development goals: economic… cultural… social harmony…

"Development strategy: infrastructure construction... support industries... in terms of culture and education, build new universities to make the title of 'university city' more worthy of its name...

“Specific implementation steps: formulate a detailed plan… strengthen the relationship between the church and the administrative department… increase publicity efforts…

"Summary: Blessed by the Storm! Backlund was the holy land of the storm thousands of years ago. It is a typical city that rose up out of faith! I see from this the key to a city's prosperity: faith.

“Therefore, I am willing to return to the Tingen Punisher Squad and do my best to spread the faith of the Storm, protect the safety of the Storm believers, and create a peaceful and stable environment to promote the development of Tingen in all aspects!

"I believe that Tingen will be the next Holy Land of Storm! The next Backlund! For this, I will fight for my whole life!
"Planner: Blue."

F*ck! ! ! ! Old Blue couldn't hold it anymore. Who wrote this? Was Blue himself? Roy! Roy Wellington! The exaggerated style of this copywriting clearly identified him! This guy! I was just thinking about returning to Tingen to retire, how come it became so complicated? !
Seeing the old man's shocked expression, Ikanser couldn't help but complain:
"Pretending! Still pretending! Who else could this person be other than you? Aren't you just thinking about building a new university without spending any money?! Isn't this plan clearly written?!"

"Well... listen to my excuses... no, listen to my explanation..." Old Blue scratched his head, as if he really had hit the jackpot by accident?

The three major churches were on good terms with each other on the surface, but they were secretly competing fiercely. When I, a Sequence 6, returned to Tingen, I would directly disrupt the distribution of church power there...

The situation that was supposed to be dominated by the Church of Night has become dominated by Storm. The space of Steam's parish will definitely be compressed again. The more serious situation is that the city-level parish will be completely lost...

This is not a small matter. Losing a city-level parish is acceptable, but what about the next one? What should we do if Storm continues to do this? Lose again? Should we withdraw from Backlund and Loen in the end?
"Well, Deacon Ikanser, I did make the plan!" Old Blue decided to climb up the pole.

"I'm doing this for everyone's benefit! You see, you have built a new technical university, why don't you name it after steam? Just call it 'Steam is on the University'! Isn't that great? Every college student will reverently shout 'Steam is on the University' when they mention it!
"You will be very famous by then, Ikanser. You have attracted countless believers to steam! Maybe your archbishop will praise you, and your gods will bless you! Give you the title of 'God's Blessed One'!

"Aren't you moved by this? Think about it, how did Klein become a God-favored One? Aren't you envious?!

"Ikanser! Lord Ikanser, the 'God-favored One'!"

Seeing the hesitant steam butler, Old Blue thought to himself, this is it! It was done in an inexplicable way!
