A Guide to Becoming a God Starting from a Monastery

The Blasphemy Knight has been on the wanted list of several countries for so many years, he is definitely not a merciful person. Not to mention now that he has become the protector of the country! He will kill your entire family without blinking an eyelid.

If a national defender comes to your door, all your money, favors, and guards will be useless. He will just wipe out the whole family.

But unexpectedly, they escaped the disaster.

Chapter 203 The Nameless Book 1

There is no doubt that the Ostromir family has learned something about Eva and Thomas through some unknown means.

Therefore, they didn't dare to pursue this matter at all.

Anyone who dares to pursue the matter will be seeking his own death.

Even the victim is not held accountable, but Dierke continues to come out and ask questions. Isn't that asking for trouble?

Thomas was already feeling a little impatient.

"Don't play dumb!" Dierke was furious. "Who do you think you are? Let me tell you, if the other party hadn't had a heart attack... you would have..."

He was actually very unhappy.

They are not even related relatives at all. It would be fine if they just came here to eat and drink for free, but they also took food away and caused trouble.

If I hadn't been lucky, I would have definitely gotten my uncle into trouble this time.

Do you really think you can say such harsh words casually? If it weren't for my good luck and the other party's generosity this time, I'm afraid it would have caused trouble for my whole family!

Although my family has some strength, its roots are shallow and cannot be compared with the other party.

He has hundreds of guards at home!

Although this was a necessary military basis for conducting business with the barbarian tribes, it wasn't that they couldn't afford more. Rather, it was because raising more would violate the unspoken rules and arouse the Grand Duke's suspicion.

On his side, there are only a few real guards.

There is no comparison in terms of strength.

If we want to be serious, they can just send a few experts over to easily destroy this place.

But before he could finish his words, Thomas became impatient to listen to his nonsense and turned around and left.

It is politically correct for Christians to go to church, and no one can stop them.

"Wait a minute..." Dierke wanted to stop him, but for some reason, he suddenly remembered the sound.

Thomas was just holding the scabbard of his sword and lifting it, without even drawing it out, when suddenly there was a sound in the air.

He was suddenly startled and couldn't even take a step forward.

A moment later, Thomas's back disappeared around the corner of the corridor, and Dierke finally came to his senses. But now he could only stamp his feet angrily a few times and had to leave.

Thomas is a troublemaker. He got away with it this time, but what about next time?

He will directly implicate Uncle Vishatych.

For the safety of his uncle's life and property, he had to find a way to stop this troublesome Thomas.

……

It wasn't as if Thomas was pretending to go to church.

However, after attending a sacrament in the church and getting a glimpse of divine power, he immediately ran to a nearby store.

This is a bookstore - I noticed it when I was brought here before.

Ross is not a place of cultural prosperity, at least not in this era.

Movable type printing had begun to spread, but technological advancements did not immediately lead to a cultural boom. There was a lag period.

In fact, even movable type printing had not yet been fully disseminated.

Thomas remembered very clearly that in his previous life, even in the early days of the Industrial Revolution, the profession of "copyist" still existed.

That’s why stories like “The Little Copyist” are included in textbooks.

In other words, even in the early days of the Industrial Revolution, a large proportion of books were still handwritten.

Sure enough, he noticed it as soon as he entered the bookstore.

There are printed books, but there are still a large number of handwritten books.

In those days, it was the church that promoted printing because its books were very stable.

After pretending to look around casually, Thomas asked about the copyist.

The bookstore owner was very polite and offered to introduce Thomas to a few copyists. Besides, there were several copyists on the second floor of the bookstore.

Thomas then went upstairs and spoke directly to the copyist.

I took a look at their results first - they were indeed clean and clear, worthy of being professional.

Then they started bargaining over the price of copying the book.

Just like all businessmen who do business, they haggle over every penny and try to lower the price as much as possible.

After much effort, the deal was finally struck. Thomas paid ten sous as a deposit and would bring the book the next day.

As long as it passes through the hands of a copyist... no matter how good your eyesight is, it will be impossible to recognize the handwriting of the original author.

Thomas has figured it out and decided to copy ten copies of "About the Nameless God".

Ten books is not too many, but not too few either.

Then find a way to get a few copies into the hands of the magician.

Like Kiev, Novgorod also has magicians, and they are the kind of magicians who do not hide their identities.

Gandalf once said that although a magician's strength is determined by talent, whether one can become a magician is another matter.

There is one characteristic that all magicians absolutely share.

That is the pursuit of knowledge.

If you have no interest in new knowledge, you don't deserve the title of "magician" at all.

So when Thomas rejected Gandalf's invitation, Gandalf just felt regretful and did not force him.

Gandalf is not the only one who believes that "everything has a price, but knowledge is the greatest luxury"!

As for the other few books, I will try to find a way to sell them and let them circulate on the market.

Since a counterfeit product like "Becoming a Great Wizard" can become a book widely circulated among the people, Thomas thinks that "About the Nameless God" can do the same.

Although the content of the book contains a lot of lies made up by Thomas, some of it is very real!

Of course, two copies must be kept in the end, one to be secretly given to the Grand Commander, and the other to the Blasphemous Knight.

Just say that you got it in Novgorod.

After slowly calculating in his mind, Thomas left the bookstore and headed towards his residence.

Practicing magic is really a bottomless pit!

Thomas used to think that practicing the Steel Soul Secret Art would require consuming dozens of divine powers to make any progress, which was really a huge consumption.

Now that I've officially started practicing magic, I realize that the Steel Soul Secret Art is really just a little brother.

The final stage of the Steel Soul Mystic Art consumed hundreds of divine powers. At the time, it felt like a huge drain.

But now it seems that contact with the third layer of magic net is okay, but contact with the fourth layer of magic net, the consumption will definitely not be lower than this!

The fourth level is still like this, if you cultivate to a higher level... you can easily understand...

I don’t know how staggering the consumption will be when reaching the ninth level.

He was walking when he saw a group of people passing by in front of him.

Their clothing was quite different from that of the Russians. They were wrapped in dirty fur clothes and wore equally dirty fur hats on their heads.

The weapons on his body were also very mixed, including spears, swords, and sickles.

But as they were leading horses and pulling carts, it was obvious that they were here to do business.

This should be the Chude people.

They were called Chuds, but if Thomas remembered correctly, the area where these barbarians lived was called Estonia in his previous life.

Thomas stopped curiously.

I just wanted to take a look, but my heart suddenly shuddered.

Because the induction of the spiritual field told him that there were at least five elite soldiers in these inconspicuous barbarian caravans!

Chapter 204 The Nameless Book 2

Damn, there are only about twenty of these barbarians in total.

Not to mention that there is naturally a difference between porters and warriors.

Thomas already had a basic understanding of the Chud tribe. Barbarian tribes were also divided into classes. For example, tribal leaders such as chiefs were hereditary.

There is also a specialized class of warriors, who are naturally the backbone of the army and the middle and lower-level officers.

In other words, if we ignore those roles that are obviously porters or coolies, then the number of elite warriors accounts for at least half of the total number of warriors!

This is no ordinary ratio.

At least no army Thomas knew of could achieve such a ratio.

Even the Knights, known for their elite strength, couldn't do it! Elite warriors are no pushovers.

Is it by chance?

Or maybe there are frequent wars and deaths in barbarian tribes, so there are a lot of people among them who have overcome life and death and become elite?

But I couldn't figure it out for a while.

However, this did not affect Thomas's interest. He originally just wanted to see what kind of goods these barbarian merchants had, but now he began to slowly follow behind this team.

Moreover, there seems to be something strange about these cars.

I always feel like something is wrong, but I can't tell what it is.

And even if there was something wrong, it wasn't Thomas' turn to intervene. After all, he was just an ordinary person.

The team did not go to the market in the city, nor did they have any conflicts or disputes with the citizens. They just walked to the Knights' residence.

Thomas watched as twenty or so barbarians drove several carts into the local knights' residence.

There were guards at the door, and strangers like Thomas couldn't get in.

Barbarians...actually doing business with the Knights?

Although the objective environment restricted the Knights' doing business with the pagans as a last resort, something always felt wrong.

Thomas looked at the gate of the Knights' branch from a distance for a long time before leaving.

In Thomas's previous life memories, Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania were known as the Baltic Countries.

Although Thomas is not a professional historian, he still has some impression of the history of these countries.

Simply put, the Christian world organized two Germanic crusader knights. One was the famous Teutonic Knights, who conquered Prussia, and the other was the Order of the Sword, which conquered Estonia and Latvia.

However, the Order of the Sword finally encountered a tough obstacle when they were conquering Lithuania and were defeated by the Lithuanians.

Subsequently, under the coordination of the church, the Teutonic Knights and the Order of the Sword merged and continued to fight against Lithuania.

But the Lithuanians were not stupid. Seeing that the situation was not good, they united with Poland to form the famous Polish-Lithuanian Confederation, and together they defeated the Teutonic Knights again.

In the process, Lithuania also converted to Christianity along with Poland, so the banner of the Crusades was no longer effective.

It became a one-on-one duel between Prussia and the Polish Confederation. Fighting and drawing, no one could tell who was the winner.

Everyone fought back and forth, and finally Tsarist Russia came and took them all down, turning all the territories into its own.

By the Soviet era, even East Prussia had been completely annexed.

That was roughly what happened, but Thomas didn't remember the details very clearly.

But in this parallel dimension, this has obviously not happened yet.

The Christian Crusaders were still fighting a life-and-death battle with the Crescent Moon Cult in Jerusalem.

No additional troops were sent to conquer the three Baltic states.
