Hearing the "relics of the true god", the gods of the present world can only express their silence.

A scepter that can change the weather, a miracle medicine that can cure all infectious diseases in the world, and a lamp that can lift the curtain of night, most of these relics comparable to the power of elves are either unusable after being discovered, or they cannot withstand the erosion of time, and have completely become waste.

It seemed like a long, long time had passed, and they hadn't gotten these relics anymore, and even whether they had gotten them became a question: when memories were on the verge of disappearing and preserving, it became difficult to recall these simple things.

"That's why I said that this time the situation is not 'as serious as the Red Dragon Rebellion', but it has become more serious, and if we don't handle it well, even we can't protect ourselves...... My opinion is to negotiate peace with the Otherworlders and their puppet New Elta Empire according to the current situation, and then consider it in the long run. ”

In the subsequent vote, even Kyle Noral, who was the toughest and least brainless, obediently raised his hand in agreement.

This time, Bimonthly Church lost completely. In addition to the combat power to maintain the necessary law and order in the country, the eight living gods on the scene basically could not think of any new manpower and material resources that could be thrown into the whirlpool of war.

Hermarita, who mainly focuses on internal affairs, is naturally well aware of the current situation on several islands. The basic subsistence food should still be sufficient, but the lack of sources of magical materials and the lack of corresponding mages will presumably make things difficult for the islands...... In other words, the poor days of the Bimonthly Church are really coming. For example, the fleet of seafarers began to buy charcoal and clothing, as well as the harvest of autumn grain, at Hermarita's behest. Magic furnace? Stop dreaming...... In the next winter, the Church of the Two Moons really had to get through it in a different way.

"There is no need to vote on charcoal and grain, and fishing boats to continue sailing until the sea freezes, right? I have personally sent people to set sail. Hermarita's opinions are basically infallible, so no one will question the details.

"And then I have an idea about the fleet. In the past, when Eufer Mondridge was still at war with Cierta, couldn't he also send a trading fleet into the territory of the Otherworldrs to trade? Presumably, it may be that visitors from other worlds are not good at water, or even that there is no ocean in their world at all. If we can continue to underwrite the goods of the other world today, we can either reconcile with them, at least let the state of war end and then think about it in the long run, and second, we can continue to turn the price increase of these goods into the profit we want, and at the same time exchange the benefits to get back the captured people......"

The discussion in the depths of the temple seemed to be calm, but when the bell rang in the evening, the oracle was issued.

"All the generals of the Western Expeditionary Army who should participate in the war have meritorious service and are exempted. Among them are deserters, and those who have left their posts and returned to their country without permission can be pardoned by reporting to the consul of their original residence to make a register, this is God's will, this is God's forbearance, and the guilty should not postpone or delay......"

"From this point onwards, the tax on the catch will be changed from the market value tax to the tax in kind, and the tax rate will be reduced to one-tenth of the weight, and ordinary seagoing vessels will not be restricted by the license to go out to sea, and the tax rate will be the same as that of ordinary fishing vessels......"

The latter one is more effective than the first. At the fishermen's wharf in Lancas, boats have long been buying nets, rods and lines – in the past, you had to have a tax flag to go out to sea, and the ships of the Twin Moon Church Navy were often bored and doubled as law enforcement vessels...... This can be regarded as a way of "military business".

But the warships of the Double Moon Church, which also appeared on the fishermen's wharf today, were no longer there to arrest people, but to equip all ships with fire stoves.

"So, your ship's stove can only be installed on the deck." A sailor with a hammer and a soft ruler leaned out of the stairs under the cabin, shivering at the late autumn sea breeze.

It is a fast sailing ship that passes between the islands. Since there is basically no interior, the owner basically does some work of transporting inland islands.

The breath of defeat came sooner than the living gods on the throne had imagined. The dwindling movement of cargo has made the old captain almost idle, and his crew has even been able to go ashore to do odd jobs—a safe life, but not good news for those who eat by the sea.

So while he was in the harbor staring at the seagulls and the sea stuffy and waiting for work, the well-informed captains brought a new policy - if not any way to save the traffic, at least fishing meant that there was some work to be done...... And it is said that this winter will be difficult to endure without the moisture of magic, at least the captain himself agrees.

The captain was about to say something with his hands in his sleeves, when he saw a team of beasts galloping towards him on the main road of the dock.

"Don't look at it, it's an oracle drawn up by the gods of the present world." The sailor, who had just been surveying the installation of the furnace in the cabin, pointed his hammer at the priest who was disembarking on the horse, "The order to allow you to fish at will came from them, so you need not doubt that it was their decision that we had come to install the furnaces on everyone's ships." ”

"God is really a saint." The captain hurriedly complimented. "But in this way, the battle of Elta killed a lot of our devout parishioners, should it be true?"

The sailors were silent. In the distance, the most important pardon passage of the oracle was clearly replayed—it was true that Hermita had personally overstepped the command of the navy to carry out the second half of the order, but the first half had really been voted on by all the living gods present......

In other words, this navy mechanic sailor was also the first time he heard the oracle of pardoning all prisoners of the Western Expeditionary Army.

"It's amazing." He put down the hammer that was raised high, "I didn't expect that even deserters would be pardoned...... Oh, now my brothers have a way to live. ”

"Your ship used to come back with deserters?" The captain asked with interest.

"It's not our ship, it's the one over there." Shui pointed to the largest, largest ship, on which iron sheets and timber were being unloaded, "My good brothers are working on it, and they have benefited a lot from deserters. ”

When Eltasi's crusade began to fall apart, many soldiers and magicians did not follow the general direction of the allies to reunite, reorganize, and rebuild the defensive line after being separated from the troops, but disguised themselves as civilians in order to leave Elta, a hell on earth where the front line was full of iron and fire.

Then, the Bilunar Church Navy transports, which unloaded their supplies in the ports of Elta, inexplicably picked up additional passengers. These people looked panicked, lacked food and clothing, and took out the last of their savings and were willing to get on board.

"Well, that time they took in a total of eight people, as if each of them could get several big gold coins. Among them, there seems to be a commander of a thousand commanders, who immediately chartered a private boat and fled back after getting off the ship. However, his official position is too big, and I don't think he dares to show his head in the future. God-sama doesn't guarantee his safety. ”

"I think it's the same, look at the way they eat with fat brains, they're unlucky, right?"

"Hahahahaha For this kind of clan, these ordinary people are still very happy to see them touch nails. Converting to religion, they are not "devout believers".

The order to attack the Elta Empire, which had been "moistened" from the Church, was naturally a direct command from God, and it was an "order", not an "oracle" that sounded much more generous. Under such a premise, the generals and commanders of the Double Moon Church Army actually dared to leave their subordinates and comrades behind and flee back here directly, is this considered pious? Is it considered "good moral"?

While talking and laughing, several sailors dressed similarly to the ship got on board with various materials.

"But then again, why can't this stove that the gods of the world have designated to install it in the cabin?"

"This is a charcoal stove, not a magic stove in your cabin." The sailor spread his hands in frustration. "That thing has to be installed in a ventilated place, otherwise it will poison people. So you're going to have to go to the deck to get warm. Alright, you can designate a place on the deck of the ship. ”

The price of magic powder has quietly risen from cheap to dirt - so the captain does not dare to have any opinion. Something like wood might be cheaper.

"I've never heard of this thing, except for a little kid roasting something in the wild to eat, otherwise who would use such an inconvenient stove?" The captain craned his cheeks and pointed to the rear of the helm tower seemingly casually, "This thing doesn't leak fire, does it?" Won't burn my boat, will it? ”

"No, it won't." The sailor immediately turned around, leaving the captain with a back. "Anyway, you have water on the boat, and if something happens, it can be doused with a bucket of water. It's good to keep an eye on the crew all the time, and nothing will happen. ”

Keeping the stove in a place that could be easily ventilated was also a direct instruction from Hermarita - in the Land of the Thousand Islands, where the Church of the Two Moons was under direct rule, only the countrymen would consider using wood for heating. The Western Expeditionary Army also suffered from this, directly using stoves and braziers in non-ventilated conditions, resulting in carbon monoxide poisoning.

It was quite easy to set up such a tin stove on a ship, at best it was an iron box with a fireplace variant that could hide the flames and draw away the black smoke. At the insistence of the ships, the pipe was directed away from the central axis of the ship's dense sails—lest it blacken the canvas on which they were proud and the lookout hand on the canvas.

And the design of the stove was nothing more than a manuscript on a piece of white paper from another world that Hermarita had thrown out at random. From this point of view, Hemarita is really much better than those mentally retarded gods.
