Chapter 315 Football Club (Additional chapter for the leader “Unseen”!)
Looking at the expressions on the believers' faces, Mike knew that his missionary work today had achieved the desired effect.
Preaching and whitewashing is extremely time-consuming and energy-consuming. No matter how convincing your words are, it still requires a gradual transition, bit by bit.
After all, if you want a person to give up his original beliefs and turn to another religious sect all of a sudden, even if the two have something in common and rely on each other, you need to give the person enough time.
Seeing this, Mike quickly exchanged glances with the priests beside him, and they began to pack up the props for missionary work.
After all, there is only one cardinal, so his missionary and whitewashing business is extremely busy. He has to travel back and forth on Idar Avenue every day, visiting different working-class communities.
But there is no way around it. Bruno's supervision of this new religion is extremely strict. Newly recruited priests must undergo training before they can obtain a certificate to take up their posts. Therefore, Mike will probably be busy for a long time.
And missionary work and whitewashing the world is just one of Mike's many businesses.
The Principality of Idar provided jobs and material security for the refugees in the eastern part of the empire. As the cardinal of the eastern diocese, Mike naturally had to cooperate with Bruno's series of operations to meet the spiritual needs of the people.
Although social order has basically stabilized, there are still many people who are separated from their families. If the irritability, worry and despair in their hearts cannot be soothed and diverted in time, these refugees will inevitably take extreme actions.
This all requires psychological counseling from Bishop Mike.
Of course, not everyone needs the help of a charlatan to relieve the negative emotions in their hearts.
For many Idar people, exercise can also help relieve anxiety.
Long before the war with the Odinites broke out, football had already become the most common entertainment activity among Idar's army.
Idar soldiers like to play football and watch football, because it is undoubtedly a very comfortable thing to have time to completely relax their body and mind during the intense daily training.
After losing three referees who were beaten black and blue, the Idar people gradually accepted the rules and referee's decisions on the football field and stopped treating football matches like rugby games.
"Offside", "penalty", "free kick"...
Various penalties will still cause uproar, but the situation where athletes beat up the referee will no longer happen.
Of course, this is also inseparable from the fairness and impartiality of the Idar referees. Even though the equipment is simple, there will not be any blind referees on the Idar football field, and it is temporarily impossible to provide jobs for people with disabilities.
So Bruno also likes to watch football in the military camp outside the city of Idar.
As a fan of half of the Chinese national football team, Bruno had to marvel at the football level of the Idar soldiers. Both their passing and shooting were far beyond Bruno's expectations. There were new surprises every time he watched the game.
Watching the Idar soldiers in brightly colored jerseys running on the football field is one of the rare entertainment activities in this era.
It's not just Bruno. The football field was built on the west side of the Idar military camp. During the weekends when they were free, many people from Idar would come to the stadium, either cheering loudly as spectators or playing a few games.
In short, under Bruno's leadership, the development of Idar's football career has progressed rapidly.
At the edge of the court, Bailey Orlando changed into a brand new team uniform.
He is an orphan from Qidian Orphanage. More than half a year ago, he was adopted by Qidian Orphanage when he was already in his teens and became the oldest child in the Orphanage.
By chance, he saw this new thing, football, for the first time in Idar.
Ever since he saw the Idar players running on the green field, football has become an indelible concern in his mind.
On weekdays, Bailey Orlando and his friends would hunch over their desks for daily schoolwork and study tasks.
Pele Orlando only had the chance to play football on weekends and in his own hard-earned free time.
The change in Bailey Orlando's life trajectory happened three months ago.
In a football match three months ago, Bailey Orlando accidentally got a chance to play, and then... this young man who had never touched football before, showed an amazing football talent.
Whether it was his running speed or his footwork, he made those athletes who had been playing football for half a year feel ashamed of themselves. From then on, he became famous in the football field in Idar.
And this weekend, Bailey Orlando got another chance to play.
Today is the match between the Cannonball Team and the strongest team of the Army, and Bailey Orlando has become a temporary player of the Cannonball Team.
In the audience, Bailey Orlando's agile figure also attracted Bruno's attention.
Although he is not tall, he is particularly good at controlling the ball and passing the ball. When the players' technical level is relatively unfamiliar, Bailey Orlando almost becomes the core of the entire Cannonball team, connecting the players in every position of the team together.
"Who's that?" Bruno asked.
"Pele Orlando." Mundell on the side quickly replied.
"It turned out to be him!"
Bruno had heard of this name a long time ago. After all, he was a child from the Qidian Orphanage, and there would be someone specifically reporting to Bruno on many matters.
"Ask him if he would like to come play at my club and give him three silver shillings a month."
"club?"
This was another word that Mundell had never heard of.
However, Mundell still nodded. After all, the Duke had endless creative ideas, and who knows, it might be another refreshing and good idea.
The club Bruno was referring to was a football club.
After more than half a year of training, the football level of Idar players has improved significantly. Although there are still some shortcomings in many aspects, if properly organized, they will be able to support Bruno's long-planned plan.
And the plan is... Bruno wants to organize a football league in the Principality of Idar.
Bruno has been saying that the Idar people have too few entertainment activities. Apart from working, all they do all day is eat, drink, defecate, urinate and make dolls.
So...the other world version of the Football Super League was also listed by Bruno in his little notebook.
I have finally finished paying back the extra chapters for the leader "Wei Zhijian", and the extra chapters for the other leaders will be paid back as soon as possible.
