Chapter 474 Atheist

Life is unpredictable.

Belica did not expect that the first nonsense "Lock and Steal" written by Bai Ding in "Shacheng Mansion News" caused a huge response.

He just described his experience in the popular world.

Thieves will exchange skills with each other. A lock picker must know the lock very well.

In the article, Belica talked about a phenomenon: the improvement of the thief's technology led to further improvement of the design and process of the lock, which in turn urged the thief to upgrade his technology, and then fed back to the evolution of the lock.

The two sides compete with each other, and if one side fails to improve, it will be eliminated.

This process is no longer a confrontation between stealing and defending, but an offensive and defensive battle between laying down lines of defense and cracking organs.

Belica was eloquent, and the more he talked, the more he talked, and Baiding, the ghostwriter, wrote a big article.

Didn't realize it, many people of Yao nationality like to watch it.

"Mr. Belica, this is a letter left to you by the readers of the Shacheng Mansion Newspaper. You are the first scholar to disclose the secret technology to the public. I said that it will definitely be popular. It is really great. .

Bai Ding carried a cloth bag, which was full of letter paper.

Belica flipped through the letters from readers. But he doesn't know the Yao language, so he can't understand it at all.

"Let me translate for you."

Bai Ding said something and started to open the letter.

"This letter comes from a newspaper reader named Shahu. He said that he is a back box cactus. In the past, the contents of the box were always stolen. Now, using the method you taught, the criminal was indeed caught. It was a friend of his."

"And this letter."

"From a businessman named Shanglan, he read your article and wants to hire you to build him an iron box with a lock to store a priceless gemstone."

"This letter is from the bamboo man Takesuke... There is only one sentence, saying that you are very powerful and want to learn from you."

Belica was somewhat pleased with what he heard.

"This said, I want to discuss with you, but I didn't leave my name."

"There is another letter, which says, I hope you will stop writing related reports. This is affecting the daily life of many people. There is also no name."

Belica understood immediately.

These two should be letters from colleagues.

really.

My own writing is too detailed and professional, which ruins other people's jobs.

Not quite right.

Bai Ding put away the envelope: "Have you finished writing your new article? Everyone still wants to hear from you how to design the lock and how to avoid being unlocked..."

"I'm going to change the subject."

Belica said: "Write copper and iron drawing. What do you think?"

"This, this, you really decided to make such an important technology public?"

Bai Ding was shocked.

"What's wrong?"

Belica grinned: "Just take it as a gift from me to everyone. Actually, it's not a great technology, I also learned it from my predecessors."

The reason why he decided to change the topic was to avoid being seen as a real profession on the one hand, and to speed up the writing of the manuscript on the other hand, so as to get paid as soon as possible in a safe time.

Practitioners in the gray industry know that what they get is their own. Before getting it, even if it is close at hand, it may become out of reach.

In the evening, Bjelica went to the street to buy a potato pancake, and then started his routine walk. While eating, he walked into a small grocery store, walked to the container, and handed a roll of paper to the goblin merchant here.

"Mr. Belica, your excellency is here today, please go to the back room."

The goblin boss rubbed his hands with a fake and obsequious smile on his face.

Belica nodded and walked inside.

In a back room, the potbellied Foreign Secretary sat at a table eating a roast lamb on a silver platter.

The minister's mouth is full of oil and sauce, but the white scarf around his neck is spotless.

He cut off a piece of roast lamb with a knife and chewed it.

"I heard that you have a good relationship with those two interviewers."

Belica said cautiously: "I'm a little familiar."

"What did you find?"

Belica thought for a while: "Yazdan is more collecting the history and legends of the empire, while Baidin focuses on the current situation of the empire. Their actions are very direct and open, and there is no secret action."

"Is there any connection with the nobles and... the elector?"

"Not as far as I know."

The minister gently cut the sheep bone with a knife: "Is there any important action?"

"Yes. They plan to go to the field to interview and survey [Ironwood Fort] and [Sweet City] in the near future, and write a key topic column of "Big Bang in the Fortress."

Belica simply responded.

"oh."

There was a glimmer of light in the minister's eyes, and he said in a slow and unquestionable tone: "I need you to go and give me Yazdan's right hand. That kind of metal arm technology is needed by the empire."

Belica was stunned for a moment: "Sir, this is a hand. How can I let him take it off without warning, and then give it to you?"

"That's not something I have to consider, it's something you have to consider."

The minister showed a standard goblin smile: "No matter what method you use, give me your arm. Next, you have a choice whether to stay or return to the wind industry."

"This is your last mission."

Bjelica can only say: "I need time."

"I'll give you three days, there's only so much left."

The minister wiped the gravy and oil from the corner of his mouth with a white towel, and threw it on the roast sheep: "The wind-up locomotive you want is parked outside, go try it, I hope you like it."

"However, the empire is not very safe recently, and the goblin technology may sometimes explode... My personal suggestion is that it is best to go out less and safety first."

The minister patted Belica's arm, and slowly left from the other side.

Belica suppressed his anger.

This damned fat goblin, who was obedient and scolded at the Resurrection Kingdom, dared not speak, but came back with arrogance!

He walked out of the store and saw a wind-up locomotive parked outside.

The huge butterfly-shaped mainspring is fixed on the rear half of the car body. The small oval body is like a beetle, and the thick front and rear wheels are full of security.

The imperial civilians passing by are envious in their eyes. The wind-up locomotive is purely handcrafted, not only fine workmanship but also elegant and luxurious, which is something only for the big shots.

Belica sighed.

This car may explode at any time. Explosions and deaths are commonplace in the Empire of the Two Snakes.

Ordinary people who encounter this kind of predicament usually go outside the shrine and pray by touching the outer wall with their hands, hoping to get the blessing and enlightenment of the gods.

Unfortunately, Belica does not believe in God.

He knows that the gods exist, that the messenger of the gods is the master of many worlds, and that the power of the gods may come at any time.

Not believing in God is also the status quo of most [criminals] in the popular world.

Strictly speaking, it is not unbelief, but staged belief.

If the gods help, then they believe in gods, pray and worship.

If the gods never help or take care of them, they will certainly respect them, but in reality, everyone is just pretending.

Thieves and liars are the most practical.

Belica decided to pray to God Yao once.

"Master Yao, the powerful and omnipotent God, I am also forced to make a living, so I have to try to complete the task assigned to me by the empire, and take action against the Yao people. This is pure work, and it is by no means rude to you. offend"

"Good God, please forgive me."

That night, Belica sneaked away Yazdan's right hand.

This task itself is not low in difficulty.

But a professional thief must be able to steal the target at any time and any place.

When Belica went to the foreign minister's mansion, he found that it was surrounded by the army.

The empire made a judgment.

The Minister of Foreign Affairs colluded with the elector and deliberately provoked the diplomacy of the two countries when he visited the resurrected empire, slandered King Raymond, and ruined the reputation and authority of His Majesty the Emperor. His inner ghosts and subversion of the empire were exposed, and he was executed.

The rest of the party is also being hunted everywhere.

Belica sighed.

I really encountered everything.

What should we do now?

Put it back to Yazdan?

What is important now is that the only foreign minister who confirmed his legal identity was killed, and he himself became a rebel remnant.

Finally, Belica decided to be honest in order to seek help from the Yao people.

He took his right arm out of the black cloth: "...This is the situation, please help me."

Yazdan looked around him: "You have such a special technology. The Yao people don't have talent like you yet."

[Grandmaster of Stealing]... No wonder I didn't find out either. Since you have confessed and confessed and prayed like Lord Yao, then I don't think this is a problem.

The chief interviewer with a cold face said: "As long as nothing happens, you are still our special interviewer. If the empire asks you for a crime, we will speak and clarify for you."

Baidin also said: "Since Mr. Yazdan said it, Mr. Belica only needs to not forget your manuscript."

I will try my best to write seriously.

Belica finally breathed a sigh of relief.

In the days that followed, the entire Snake Empire fell into repeated turmoil. The imperial capital often gathered soldiers, many dignitaries were arrested and killed, and the streets and alleys were full of turmoil.

In such an environment, Belica focused on writing columns, and wrote the popular "Principles and Operations of Copper and Iron Drawing Engineering", "Magic in the Blind Area of View", "Expression Management and Mental State", "Criminal Investigation" , "Signs and Symbols" and other articles, from casting and smelting to engineering manufacturing, from sociology to psychology to criminology...all inclusive.

On a very ordinary day, Belica suddenly discovered that he had acquired some special power.

He became the first [Outstanding Scholar] in history, and his name will be permanently left in the civilization history of the Yao nationality.

As time went by, Belica also gradually focused his perspective on the chaotic imperial society.

In his articles, there are many examples from the history of the empire and various experiences.

Belica was captured by imperial soldiers many times.

He was asked the same question many times.

"Are you the remnant of the foreign minister? Is it related to external forces? What is your relationship with the Yao people?"

"I'm not, I'm from the wind industry, and any apostle can test it."

"Then why are you an [Outstanding Scholar] of the Yao nationality?"

Regarding this question, Belica could only explain it over and over again.

"I wrote some articles and made some insignificant contributions to the Yao people. This is the title given to me by Lord Yao and the Yao people..."

"Do you think this reason is credible?"

Belica spread his hands: "Whether you believe it or not, this is the truth. The outstanding scholars of the Yao nationality are not from the Yao nationality, and they are not from the Yao nationality civilization. Is this difficult to understand?"

After speaking, Belica and the interrogator were silent.

"Well, it does sound a little weird, but the reality is always so weird."

Belica said helplessly: "As you all know, I am still a technical officer of the Imperial Invention Department. Although I cannot participate in specific affairs, I am a national of the Empire."

Life in prison is not difficult.

As a seasoned thief, going to prison is like going home, and you can also exchange experiences with other colleagues. For criminals, going to jail is not a bad thing in many cases, it is more like a kind of training.

While in prison, Belica wrote "The Struggle in Prison", "A Brief History of the Life of a Jailer", "Deep Order in Prison" and other interesting, slang and realistic articles.

In the end he was kicked out of prison directly.

The apostles talked privately with him in person.

"Don't write about the empire's crimes, prisons, etc., write more about the good aspects, think about it, why do people doubt your identity?"

The apostle said so.

Belica thinks so too.

So he wrote a more powerful "Atheist", which was the first time to write about the situation of people who don't believe in God. This spread too widely and made all parties highly nervous.

Yazdan, Baiding, and even the apostle Slymode, under great pressure, published this article in the "Shacheng Mansion Newspaper".

Then Belica was talked to again.

"You should write about the prison, don't write about atheism, how can there be atheism? Everyone is very devout to the gods! Don't talk nonsense if it is not conducive to unity..." The apostle criticized it severely.

Belica then wrote about the prisons and criminals of the empire again.

Many years later, the great scholar Belica talked about it.

"The empire is not allowed to write about criminals and prisons, but if atheism is written, the empire will be willing to make concessions and allow criminals to be written."

"It's like the empire is not allowed to completely reform this place, but if it wants to destroy this place, the empire is willing to try."

"Of course, all of this is based on Lord Yao's tolerance and Lord Messenger's kindness. If the Shacheng Mansion News cannot be published, then all of this will be out of the question."

"But looking back now, didn't the recovery of the empire start from then?"

He said: "I have seen many young people bravely and actively express their opinions, participate in the reconstruction and reform of the grassroots of the empire, and use their methods to help the empire break out of the cycle of destruction ... I like it here. There are many **** here. But these **** can also do great things, like smash an old empire that is about to fall, and start a whole new country."

"Just like the oracle of God Yao said, everyone has their own way out. I am not from the Yao family, and I have never lived in Yao, but I love Yao God."
