INT. ROYAL TREASURY, MADRID - SIX MONTHS LATER The treasury has been transformed. Rows of MONKS sit at small desks. A large board displays "SOUL-CHAIN: BLOCKS VALIDATED TODAY: 144." OLIVARES Behold, gentlemen! The SoulChain - Spain's revolutionary salvation ledger system! He gestures to a massive illuminated manuscript chained between several MONKS. OLIVARES Every baptism, confession, and indulgence is now recorded on our distributed sacred ledger. Immutable! Divine! GENOESE BANKER So... who maintains these records? OLIVARES: Our network of monasteries each maintains identical copies. To add new souls to the ledger, monks must solve complex theological proofs - we call it "Proof of Prayer." No bishop, cardinal, or even the Pope himself can alter it! FLORENTINE INVESTOR: What if someone claims more conversions than occurred? OLIVARES: The divine consensus mechanism! Each monk must sacrifice valuable prayer time to solve these theological puzzles. The harder they pray, the more secure our ledger!

DUTCH ENVOY: This seems unnecessarily complex when a single registry would— OLIVARES (interrupting): Centralized systems are vulnerable! What if the Vatican questions our numbers? With SoulChain, the truth is distributed across the kingdom! The ROYAL TREASURER approaches with a worried expression. ROYAL TREASURER: Your Excellence, we've detected unauthorized ledger activity in the Catalan monastery. OLIVARES: A heretical fork attempt! Dispatch the inquisitors immediately! He turns back to the financiers, composing himself. OLIVARES Early adoption challenges. Now, for our premier financial instrument: the SoulToken. He presents ornate wooden tokens with crosses carved into them. OLIVARES: Each token represents one soul saved in the New World. They can be traded, split, or combined! The value is backed by divine grace - the ultimate store of value!
