Although Ma Wei rejected Duke Ivanovich's proposal, in the following period, Duke Ivanovich continued to invite many nobles to his home, gave many precious gifts, and kept using money to build relationships.

.

This is a crude but effective method. Money cannot impress Marvey, but it can impress other nobles, such as the leader of the Conservative Party, Earl Austin.

In recent times, the Conservative Party's business has been squeezed by the Liberal Party, and its scale has shrunk repeatedly, even giving up a lot of territory and stores. The Conservative Party dares not to speak out, and is always holding back the anger in its heart.

Just at this time, Duke Ivanovich sent them a gift, hoping to gain their support and protection. Count Austin, who had suffered a lot of losses in business, was moved.

Duke Ivanovich's idea is also very simple. Use money to open the way and constantly build relationships. Sooner or later, he will be able to reach the king and get asylum.

Of course, in addition to the aristocratic faction, Duke Ivanovich also donated a lot of money to the church. In just a few days, he donated 10,000 gold pounds and has become an "honorary believer" of the church.

Archbishop Fowler personally received Duke Ivanovich and baptized him, Duke of Tbilisi and Count Shirkov, making them official believers of the Church of the Three Goddesses of Destiny.

Now, those nobles would have to think carefully if they wanted to attack them again.

Seeking help from the church was a good move. Originally, under Mavey's influence, ordinary churches did not dare to accept these exiled nobles. Only Archbishop Fowler insisted on going his own way and forcibly baptized the three Dukes of Ivanovich.

But it's only limited to the three of them.

When Archbishop Fowler planned to go further and baptize other exiled nobles, the Pope found him and asked him to ignore the exiled nobles except Duke Ivanovich in the name of maintaining unity.

Otherwise, it will be suspected of undermining internal unity.

The goddess was injured and required Manstein's Potion Company to collect materials to refine the potion, which proved the importance of Manstein's Potion Company and it was natural for the Pope to favor Mavey.

Archbishop Fowler could only obey orders. He would protect at most three Dukes of Ivanovich, and the remaining nobles in exile could only be left to fend for themselves.

Duke Ivanovich did something not very kind. He built an iron mine in the suburbs and brought the exiled nobles there to work for him. Although they did not have to contribute as much as workers, they became paid subordinates.

Now, we are no longer on equal footing.

This behavior naturally aroused dissatisfaction among other exiled nobles. Some people asked Duke Ivanovich for property, but were rejected on the spot.

The dignified Duke actually defaulted on his debt!

Realizing that they had been deceived, the exiled nobles rose up in resistance and were suppressed by the guards. Duke Ivanovich had already bribed the guards they brought with them and began to establish his own power, completely cutting off all the other exiled nobles.

As a result of the resistance, the rebels were driven out of the mines and lived on the streets. The exiled nobles who lost their wealth were walking on the streets of London, as if they had become street rats. No shop was willing to take them in, not even the workhouse.

No, because they are not legal citizens of the Kingdom of Windsor and do not enjoy the welfare benefits of the Kingdom of Windsor.

In desperation, the exiled nobles came to East London. This was the only place that could accept them. However, they had no skills and could only work as laborers at the lowest level. At the same time, because they had no citizenship and no legal protection, anyone could bully them.

Even their wages are half of others.

The ordinary salary is obviously not enough to support the family. They can only live in a dirty and narrow house of only a few square meters, eat mushy oatmeal, chew dry hard and sour black bread, and cannot even afford coal in winter.

I was shivering with cold at night.

Gradually, some people couldn't stand it anymore and asked their wives to become prostitutes and singers, and their daughters to be tutors. They completely abandoned their dignity as a noble and broke the bottom line again and again in order to survive...

Mavey lived in East London. One morning he came out of the grocery store and saw a familiar figure cleaning up the frozen sludge on the street. Baron Kudinov, the general of the Southwest Front of the Romanov Kingdom, commanded tens of thousands of people at that time.

A human general, the last time I met him was at a banquet hosted by Paul I.

When he greeted Duke Ivanovich that day, Mavey didn't notice how many nobles there were, and didn't even look at them.

At a banquet hosted by Paul I, Baron Kudinov told him that bread is not for eating, but for serving food or wiping your mouth. If you are in a good mood, you can throw it to the beggars on the street after you use it, and they will be grateful.

.

Mawei remembers clearly that Baron Kudinov left a deep impression on him. The luxurious and corrupt nobles back then have turned into workers who clean the streets. Judging from his thin clothes and sallow and thin face,

He wasn't doing well.

Seeing Mavey, Baron Kudinov's eyes shone with hope. He hoped that Mavey could give him a few coins, even if it meant humiliating him, as long as he could give him a few coins...

But Ma Wei said nothing, took Yunia into the carriage, and left Flower Street.

"You won't give him even a shilling?" asked Junia.

"He can still sweep the streets with all his limbs intact, which is already a blessing from me."

Ma Wei said calmly: "Before handing him to Katerina, I will not let him die, and I will never let him live an easy life. Believe me, if I want to torture him, he will be a hundred times worse than now."

.”

God Geunia smiled rarely: "You are really not a kind person."

"It is the goddess who is merciful, not me." Ma Wei said: "Only by feeling the taste of pain can you understand the tolerance of mercy. In the same way, only you can forgive the people I punish, and those who are forgiven by you will be punished by others."

You are completely convinced."

"You have changed." Yunia said suddenly: "In New Ross City, you were a beloved priest. In Tyumen City, you were a great and loving pope. In London... you have become cruel."

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "If you make a mistake, you will be punished. This is the rule."

Ma Wei said in a deep voice: "When I was in New Ross City, I was merciful because I wanted to gain the support of believers. In Tyumen City, I was merciful because it would allow faith to spread more quickly and widely. Now the plate is bigger.

, you have to establish rules. Without rules, it will be a piece of loose sand and will never become a climate."

"You think I have changed, but in fact I have always been like this, but I will choose to release different versions of myself at different moments."

"Would you also say these words to her?"

"I never hide anything from her."

"Aren't you afraid that she will feel disgusted with you?"

"Not afraid."

"Why?"

"Because she won't hate me."

"I don't understand."

"She is smarter than you." Looking into God Geunia's eyes, Ma Wei suddenly said: "I taught her to see human nature clearly. I am one of the models. She is learning. If she can see me clearly, she can see clearly.

Most of the disguises in this world, but you, from beginning to end, regard yourself as a god, a high and mighty god."

"I am God."

"What is God?"

Yunia was stunned for a moment, she couldn't answer Ma Wei's question.

What is God?

She doesn't know either.

Others call her God, so she thinks she is God.

"I said that without bitterness, there would be no sweetness. If you want to understand one thing, you have to experience the opposite thing personally. If you want to become a god, you must first become a human."

"If you want to become a god...you must first become a human?" Yunia repeated, but she still couldn't figure it out.

"Where can God come from without people?" Ma Wei said: "The people I am talking about refer to existences with independent thinking and wisdom. It is not just humans, but also generally refers to extraordinary thinking creatures like Edward."

"Animals don't have thoughts. They don't know what gods are. In ancient times when there were no humans, gods didn't know they were gods. They only thought they were beasts at the top of the food chain, so they wanted to create humans.

The moment the first man was born, they truly became gods."

"Then...which came first, God or man?"

"You still don't understand."

Ma Wei shook his head slowly and sighed: "If you were a person, you would already understand by now."

"You say I'm stupid?"

"You are indeed stupid."

"Isn't she stupid? She can't even do math! I memorized the multiplication tables at a glance! Nine-nine and eighty-one!"

Ma Wei looked at her with some relief: "You have become more human-like."

"..."

Staring at Mavi angrily, God Geunia turned her head and stopped talking as if she was angry.

She doesn't understand.

Ma Wei said that she could understand the personality.

what is this?

Obviously he looks down on her!

Ma Wei felt that he was wronged.

He always treats everyone equally.

The reason why I say that God Geunia doesn't understand is because she really doesn't understand.

When she asked the question, which came first, God or man, it proved that she did not understand.

God and man should appear at the same time.

If there are only wild beasts in the world, then God is just a higher creature. He is both God and human.

When the first human being was born, there was a distinction between gods and talents, with no precedence.
