Chapter Seventy-Three: Zero-Point Public Relations
You know, it wasn't just herself who was damaged by the destruction of the living god Ucrochatia - the entire Kuril region was shocked from top to bottom, and it greatly frustrated the confidence and fighting spirit of the soldiers and civilians of the Bilunar Church.
The crisis public relations of the Church of the Two Moons can be said to uphold all the shortcomings of the modern media before the advent of the modern media, and take the negative effect of the incident to the extreme - no one in the mortal hierarchy of the Church of the Two Moons dares to take the responsibility of declaring the battle damage of the air ship, yes, you read that right. Most of the island's inhabitants knew that the empty ships traveling to and from the Tower had been sent to Elta to reinforce the battle, but the Church of the Two Moons kept their fate hidden and deliberately kept it from public:
The more delayed, the greater the responsibility of the publicizer, and the easier it is for political opponents to push the blame on the publicizer and let him be trampled under his feet. The bishops, priests, and councillors who had climbed to this position were not fools, and each one was more shrewd than the other—so that no one was shrewd enough to publish the tragic destruction of the empty ships—even though they even had propaganda photographs of Cierta in their hands.
While officials are reluctant to be open and honest, gossip is spreading rapidly. Perhaps it was just a heavyweight conversation between a maid in the bishop's house who saw the papers on the table and had a private conversation with the sisters; Or maybe it's just a drunken remark from someone who personally saw the crew of the two survivors of the air ship drunk in the tavern; Even if the Bimoon Church is unwilling to speak up, the bad effects of this incident are still a reality.
However, compared to someone coming out to carry the black pot, this ending is still "happy for everyone" for the high-level. After all, no one is a loser - what? The credibility of the ecclesiastical regime has decreased? Ah......hhh
When the whereabouts of the current god Yukrosatia are unknown, the mouthpieces of the Church of the Two Moons still don't learn their lesson and let the gossip spread—but it's no better than the empty ships that can be built again and the magicians who can be born again, and the Inquisition is finally quick to react and act, but the number of ways they act is staggering.
Through secret threads and covert probing by secret magicians, the Inquisition rudely captured hundreds of tongue-chewing people from all walks of life - the ridiculous thing is that the confessions of those arrested are carefully written down, and finally compiled and sent to the present gods as serious and reliable "reference materials".
At the grassroots level, however, these actions have fueled the rumors of great disrespect about Ukrosatia, especially after the release of certain prominent individuals from the Inquisition. Afterwards, although several departments corrected it, and let the magicians in the upper echelons of the Double Moon Church appear in public as Ukrosatia - but this did not help: not only did the higher authorities know that this was a bluffing trick, but even a considerable number of civilian sources began to scoff at it.
Only those who are devout believers will regard the "Ukrosatia" with a slightly different voice, intonation, and even way of speaking as the real thing they worship every day.
However, even if the whole world believed that Yucrochatia was still living around the temple on the island of Lankas, the gods of the world could not deceive themselves after all. Time moves back inexorably day by day, and the expectation of Yucrochatia's safe return gradually turns into fear of unknown forces on the other side of the ocean.
When the cold sweat that grew out of the cracks of time was enough to soak the temple in it, this fear transformed into a panic that even the gods of the world avoided and did not want to mention. They should be invincible, governing the world for the creator god, why did they cower so far that they didn't even dare to investigate a country that completely raised the flag of rebellion - let alone pacify!
Why is this happening?
If two more earthly gods go to Elta to "find the truth" and there is no chaos below, these "servants of God" will start to tremble first. It's been a long time since they've disciplined themselves according to the rules of that canon -- if suddenly there is a set of arguments that these people from other worlds are punishers sent by the gods, with an oracle or a prepared epic in their left hand to replace them, and a god-killing sword in their right hand -- bah, the five wheels of god-killing, these gods of the world will probably be convinced.
Since the weakening of the "race without magic" has touched the moth, then demonize it. It's like a newcomer who naively goes up when he encounters a goblin minotaur in the novice village, only to be beaten into a dog - maybe he hasn't been able to tell whether the name at the door of the dungeon is "Loran" or "Bilmark Imperial Proving Ground", but it is certain that eighty percent of the novices will tremble when they see the minotaur in the future, or take out the speed that Zhang Baohua can't catch up with and run back to the novice village.
(Note, the novice village of the well-known online game "Above-Earth City and Coward" not only has the guide map of the newcomers of the Loran series before the big transfer, but also the advanced map commonly known as the mechanical cow and the sorrowful cave, the tears of the times.) Of course, it's impossible to get into the wrong door.)
"Confidentiality? If you keep it a secret, will those idiots who can only use force understand how to counter people from other worlds? Noy Esas deliberately lowered the intensity of his speech, but he could still tell in his tone that he was dissatisfied with his fellow gods.
Hermarita was silent, and she had to admit that this was true, though this faction may never have been as loud as the other.
"Now you also know that whether the people of the other world are hostile to us and the Church of the Two Moons is a question worth discussing, and we don't have conclusive evidence of where Ukrosatia is whereabouts, to be exact, we are nothing! No! Know! Road! ”
"And what do you want me to help you do in the rear?" Hermarita asked rhetorically.
"Do it now." Noysas flicked the feathers off his hat and snapped his hands. "I need to immediately recruit people who have experience with people from other worlds to walk with me. Also, three days after the Clipper has been out to sea, I need you to tell the idiots who are still drinking and having fun in the temple as it is. Not a word is allowed to be missed. ”
Knowing the seriousness of the situation, Hermarita had no choice but to nod. The matter has come to this point, and if it is delayed any longer, will it be delayed until the people of the other world themselves send ships to "visit", and the swords and soldiers are scattered on Lancas Island? That's not a god of the world, that's Galeries Lafayette.
"It's all up to you, you explorer who doesn't understand people's hearts."
The "immediate" of the other world always comes a little slower than the original plane. The doctor in the emergency room of this plane was woken up by a phone call in the middle of the night, and the "immediately" in his mouth was at most five minutes from the duty room to the operating table and washing his face and mouth. The business tycoon "arrived immediately" when he received a transatlantic phone call, at most, it took more than 10 hours to go to the airport and wait for the flight to land -- even the plane tickets were purchased on the car.
It took three days from the time Neuesas decided to set sail for Elta that night, until he arrived at the port and stepped on the ship. This was more efficient than ever for the Bilunar Church: it was more efficient than ever to prepare the ship, select the crew, find guides and connectors, and mobilize supplies, all of which had to be done in three days, and Neuesas was already very satisfied with standing in the harbor to say goodbye to the Friends of God and a group of "survivors of the Elta Battlefield".
"If you can find my husband...... Eufe Mondridge, who has committed a serious crime, please be sure to bring me the most timely letter...... Even if it's just a sentence. "Standing next to Hemarita, who was hooded, was Naio, a pious pregnant woman with a big belly, dressed in a bilunar clergyman's uniform.
"Madam, don't be overly concerned about hard work, if the new life in your belly is wronged, you will be to blame when your husband returns in the future." Noy Esas's height is a head shorter than that of Naio, so it is naturally difficult to comfort Naio with the blessing of touching his head that is commonly used by the gods of the world.
"I know everything...... Please forgive me, Lord God, for making such a troublesome request. ”
Noysas nodded, and accepted her request and expectation—he was too embarrassed to say anything more about such a pious resentful woman and pregnant woman.
Except for Joyo, the rest of the send-off personnel had a plausible haze on their faces, which was quite a tragic look that made Neuesas "go on the road with peace of mind".
Compared to the pregnant women who were already weeping, wiping their faces with handkerchiefs to avoid making their own sounds, Neuesas's dissatisfaction was more focused on this group of old and young masters.
"You guys! This dejected look! The living god Noy Esas, who had his back to the seagull and the water antenna, suddenly reprimanded loudly. If the ships of the people of another world enter the port now, what can this picture of yours reflect what I have taught? Mess! was beaten dizzy, didn't know how to find another way out, even the honor and courage that a soldier should cherish the most, was completely lost! For the unknown, whether it is the canon, or the oracles from me and my friends, what has always been required is that you should keep searching for the unknown and the evolution of the truth. But now, look at your appearance, you are even less enterprising and braver than those mercenary merchants! ”
The sudden reprimand made the remnants of the defeated soldiers who saw them off unable to hold their faces and lowered their heads, and their faces were uncomfortable one after another.
"Forget it, it's useless to talk about it." Noysas turned his back, leaving the soldiers who had raised their heads with a resolute back. "You just have to remember that I am now taking on the responsibilities that should be borne by you, my people. Whatever my safety may be, you should take this shame to heart. ”
This sentence came from the mouth of a young man who seemed to be thin and had not changed his voice, and it was a great irony for the soldiers. Although their consciousness has been reminding them that this is not a teenager, but a living god for at least 10,000 years.
