The true academic powerhouse has arrived.
At this moment, even the Britain's Druid Order was alarmed and quickly sent a knowledgeable elder druid.
What can be said?
If Saint Patrick lost the debate with them, but the Druid Order won.
Wouldn't that mean the Druid Order overshadowed the British Church?!
No way.
This opportunity must not be missed!
The damn British Church is really rich; I heard they recently distributed eggs to the believers.
In this era, eggs are a rare luxury, many can't afford them, yet the British Church splurged and handed out thousands of eggs at once.
Recently, the Druid Order has been completely defeated in their missionary work.
Distributing eggs is simply cheating!
Very soon.
On the square of University of London, a knowledgeable and quite renowned elder druid began debating with these scholars. Because it involved the agricultural field, it attracted a lot of onlookers. Agricultural knowledge in these days was worth learning.
Currently, the Druid Order has begun a comprehensive transformation, under the original Druid profession, there are two branch professions: an agriculturalist and an herbalist.
This is an officially certified profession, even with a salary.
The debating situation in the square is not favorable.
That elder druid found himself alone against a scholar marked as 'Agricultural Expert' (one-star gold) and another marked as 'Natural Scientist' (two-star silver-gray), being pressed so hard he could barely raise his head, and he could only forcibly argue, substituting some agricultural knowledge with Divine Spirit's blessings.
Anyone can see it, it's already a bit far-fetched, though Supernatural Power indeed exists, their debate is about agricultural technology, not mysticism knowledge.
You're a druid, tying Avalon's bountiful ritual to agriculture scholars is a bit too much!
Even Duncan couldn't stand it anymore.
Although he didn't understand much after listening for a long time, he couldn't let the druids twist the truth.
The elder druid was so angry he nearly performed the Transformation Technique in public, just shy of proving the existence of Supernatural Power and Divine Spirit, indicating Avalon's bountiful ritual indeed works.
But that's not allowed, the supernatural world has its own rules.
The Druid Order has always forbidden the misuse of Witchcraft.
Today.
The scholars of Academy of Athens became famous overnight!
It can be said for a long time to come, people will discuss the debates between scholars, priests, and druids as their main topic.
It's as if this can also make them knowledgeable.
This is the legacy of tradition!
The entire cultural legacy of Ancient Greece is here, wanting to debate with these professional scholars will require some powerful figures.
Saint Patrick, this little old man, was extremely angry, just regretting not reading more books back in the years.
No way.
Still need to summon help!
Not only the British Church is summoning help, even Avalon's Druid Order is summoning, searching the length of Great Britain for those hidden prophets, sages, and Great Druids to come out, even Merlin was alerted, rushing overnight from Southampton.
This field, he must help, others can lose, but absolutely not agriculture!
This is the foundation of Druid faith.
He, as a Celtic prophet, if unable to overpower the scholars in agriculture, wouldn't the transformation of the Order's faith be inherently inferior?
Let alone him, even Avalon's Guardian Fairies were alarmed.
This is the pinnacle wisdom of mortals!
Druids relying on Supernatural Power, various ritual prayers, cannot overpower the opponent's agricultural knowledge developed over thousands of years, how can Guardian Fairies sit idly by, can't just rely on Avalon's bountiful ritual to argue forcefully?
Can't beat them, join them, arrange for spies to secretly learn.
Finally.
When things escalated to a certain extent, Duncan began to arrange the major spectacle, gathering Saint Patrick and many top scholars together.
In the auditorium of London Academy, many candle fires were lit around.
Crow Queen-Triss, with a solemn expression, gazed at others present, while guards stood at both entrance sides.
Everyone waited for a long time.
Eventually, Duncan's figure slowly walked out, he glanced at Saint Patrick next to him, then nodded slightly towards the Greek scholars led by Proclus, following which he handed over a thick, quite messy notebook to these people in front of him.
Saint Patrick looked curious, reaching out to take it and asked, "Governor? What is this?"
After all, Proclus is a professional scholar.
He just took a quick glance, then his expression turned solemn, passed it to the other scholars behind him, exclaimed, "Heliocentric theory?!"
Look at this, that's what you call professionalism.
Saint Patrick's hand trembled as he quickly flipped through the messy notebook.
Duncan had been troubled by this thing for several days, having no mood to properly practice with Anya, he said blandly, "That's right. It's the heliocentric theory."
"I need you to help me perfect it."
What was handed to the Greek scholars, actually also included pantheism, which is the theory of The One.
Pantheism is one of the oldest Eastern thoughts, which believes that god is the essence of all things, the "natural law" is the embodiment of god.
Has some concept of the natural path.
Mixed within it were parts of polytheism, but Duncan's lack of scholarship could only record some useful tidbits.
In the future, these present scholars are needed to perfect and unify them.
Do gods lose to God?
No problem.
Above gods, add a concept of 'natural law'.
Representatives of pantheism are Zhuangzi, Spinoza, and Xenophanes, anyway Duncan is not afraid of trouble, might as well start a 'Battle of Heaven', treating it as an early opening of the Enlightenment Era.
He really doesn't understand theology, providing some concepts is already the best effort.
Of course, the manuscript on the church side is still just for the heliocentric theory.
Saint Patrick seeing pantheism, polytheism, might lose his temper on the spot.
Speaking of which, Duncan looked at Saint Patrick's deeply solemn expression in front of him and slowly said, "You also let British Church's scholars help."
"If the heliocentric theory can be completed and proven, I will no longer restrict your missionary work."
"If your mission wins, eradicates polytheism, I have nothing to say."
With these words, the Greek scholars beside changed their expressions, faces extremely grave, because most of them are polytheists.
Duncan said solemnly, "Moreover."
"I will fully support you to become the next Pope!"
Saint Patrick in his years, with a calm mind, suddenly thundered, his hand trembled slightly.
If others said it, it would be kind of bragging.
But Duncan said it, hard to imagine the amazing influence the British Church will possess with royal favor and military backing!
If worst comes to worst, overthrow the Vatican, directly replace the Pope.
The position of Pope.
Saint Patrick can also assume, Duncan says.
All along, Duncan has been supporting polytheism, if missionary work is defeated, can't prop up a failing structure, if polytheism perishes, he has nothing to say, just the flood of the times was too powerful. Ultimately, people will choose monotheism, Europe's polytheism was too backward, itself eliminated by the times.
Duncan won't allow the church to forcibly make people believe in monotheism, nor will he permit polytheism to forcibly make people believe in multiple gods.
To evangelize, leave it up to them to compete themselves.
The British Church originally accepted part of the pagan tradition, in the future Duncan intends to push them to compete with the Roman Vatican, whoever wins is orthodox.
This is the first blow.
Use heliocentric theory to impact the existing cosmology, then equally crush monotheism and polytheism, letting humans realize they are merely a small part of the vast universe.
The true journey of humanity lies in the seas of stars!
In the future, Duncan also relies on these scholars to help him thoroughly study the Witchcraft of this era, use a scientific perspective to explain the damn Rune Language and various inexplicable rune symbols.
Merlin should also contribute.
As one of the most powerful Legendary Wizards of the era, instead of properly organizing Witchcraft's legacy and leading the new era's Magic Enlightenment, he spends all day pondering those silly prophecies.
Duncan wielded royal power as a whip, making them all move.
