Chapter 112: The Expelled Poseidon Church

"Alexei, you will be my Jeremiah's best buddy from now on!"

"Let's drink to nitro, nitro"

"Nitroglycerin."

"Here's to nitroglycerin!"

Jeremiah gulped down the sweet fruit wine.

Screw steel and wood. Who needs steel and wood when you have something that can flatten a mountain?

Jeremiah bets that Jewel Bay has absolutely no objection - if it does, it's just that the equivalent is not enough!

Now the dinner is over and the guests have been sent back.

Looking at the pirate captain who was pulling Alexei not far away and not letting him leave, Hughes couldn't help but smile.

Although there were a few minor incidents, it went smoothly overall.

Judging from Jeremiah's appearance, the pirates would not be a problem in the short term, and might even be a help - they could sail freely in the Storm Ocean, and might be able to help him get a lot of materials.

For example, saltpeter.

This thing is easy to find on some islands, especially those with many seabirds. The more seabirds there are, the more guano there is, and the more guano there is, the easier it is to produce saltpeter mines.

There are such islands in the Pacific Ocean of Blue Star, but unfortunately Castel does not have such resources, otherwise black gunpowder can be produced in large quantities.

But it's not a big problem, nitroglycerin is a better choice for him.

He took out this kind of explosives for export to pirates.

The main thing is that its various characteristics are very suitable.

The first is its power, which needs no further explanation.

Secondly, it is difficult to preserve and stockpile in large quantities - this may be a disadvantage for others, but it was for this reason that Hughes chose nitroglycerin.

The difficulty in preserving meant that the pirates had to rely on his long-term supply, and the difficulty in hoarding prevented them from using it against Caster in the event of a fallout.

In short, this is something that looks beautiful, but has many limitations in actual use.

It will become a new yoke around the pirates' necks.

However, having value without power is nothing but meat on the chopping board, so Zeus asked the banshees to scare away the tattooed man.

At that time, all the banshees in the manor stared at him together. Their undisguised malice made the tattooed man turn around and leave. It’s really interesting to think about it.

Well, supernatural powers alone are not enough. Perhaps it is time to put forming your own army on the agenda.

Hughes thought absentmindedly.

Chloe came over.

"Is Beatrice back?"

"Yes, it seems that she is very satisfied with your dinner, and she is also very interested in the soap you gave her - in fact, I am also interested."

"Then I'll send a few boxes to your church later?"

"Okay, I'll just take it when I leave later."

Hughes was a little surprised: "You want soap so much?"

"Yes! We of the Fire Moth Order are very interested in all knowledge, especially those that do not bring pollution."

If you want to advance technology and seek more knowledge in this world of pollution, it seems that you can never escape pollution.

"I see. No wonder you need to summon evil gods to deal with pollution. Is it because you are pursuing knowledge?"

Chloe nodded solemnly. "We were once a branch of the Candlelight Society, but later split from the Candlelight Society due to differences in ideology. They are also pursuing knowledge, but they bury all the information they dig up. Each keeper has countless knowledge and secrets, but never shares them."

"You are willing to share your knowledge?"

"Yes, the value of knowledge lies in sharing, isn't it?"

This made Hughes look up to him. In this crazy world, in this ignorant age, there are actually a group of people who are pursuing knowledge and are willing to share it?

"Of course everyone will condemn us." Chloe smiled bitterly. "Knowledge always comes with pollution. Sharing knowledge also spreads pollution. Although we have the means to solve the pollution, it is still extremely dangerous. It's not that we haven't failed before - in fact, problems often occur."

"Death is common, and the verification of knowledge and conjectures often requires sacrifice. The remaining people will continue to move forward with their manuscripts until they are reduced to ashes in the fire."

Indeed, cognitive interference, cognitive barriers, and the inexplicable pollution that befalls the body, this world is severely punishing the advancement of technology, and the people of the Fire Moth are enemies of the entire world.

No wonder they call themselves the Fire Moths, this is indeed a foolish act of seeking death - stupid, but great.

Hughes had always thought that this world was all spiral and no upward movement, but now it seemed that he had taken it for granted.

There is no shortage of brave people moving forward in every world.

"Then we will become friends. I am also on the path of seeking knowledge." Xius extended his hand solemnly.

Chloe hesitated for a moment, looked back at the pirate who was still drinking sweet fruit wine, and shook it anyway.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"I hope so - but you'd better explain your connection with the Church of Poseidon."

"The Church of Poseidon." Xius took a breath. "Can you tell me from the beginning what the Church of Poseidon is? I always feel like we have some misunderstandings."

"Uh, you really don't know? Okay, okay, I can tell you, but since you don't know, I can't just tell you that there will be pollution. You know this, right?"

This is such a mess. If Zeus didn't know about cognitive barriers, he would have thought she was crazy.

"You can just say, I have a way to solve the pollution."

"Really? Then I'll tell you."

"First, you know the five major churches, right?"

"Aren't they the four great ones?"

"See, this is the problem. The Church of Poseidon was expelled from the five major churches. You know this now, but after a while, you will ignore it again."

"Ignore it?"

"Yes, you will subconsciously think that this is not important. People will divide memories into important and unimportant parts, and unimportant memories will be forgotten quickly."

This statement vaguely reminded Hughes of his dream.

Most people forget their dreams within a few minutes of waking up, which is because dreams are classified as "unimportant memories."

"Like a dream?"

Chloe was a little surprised: "Yes, it's a very accurate description, just like a dream, you will forget it quickly."

"Anyway, at least now you know that the Church of Poseidon was once one of the five major churches."

"But later, something strange happened in the sea."

"I know that. It's pollution coming out of the seabed, right?"

"Yes, it's been a long time, almost a thousand years."

"Our sect has collected some ancient materials, which mentioned that there is a place called Mingyuan in the sea, and the pollution is coming from there."

Hughes' eyes widened.

"Mingyuan?"
