Dear Broom Knight
#533 - The Storm Church in Financial Crisis
When Lowry called Schroeder stupid, it wasn't to say that the Goddess of the Night wouldn't do such things.
That lady would do anything when it didn't matter.
But not now.
In this world, the gods who most want the world's will to revive must be the Sun God, the Storm God, and her, the Dark Moon Lord, who combines the night and the silver moon.
And that key point is coming soon.
She has waited so many years, even at the cost of giving up her reputation and exposing the bad things she has done, how could she offend her true allies in the last step!
Although the previous Lord of Storms might not care how his avatar behaved, now, he will inevitably shift some of his attention here.
The Goddess of the Night is so competitive, but she has never questioned the fact that 'the Lord of Storms is the strongest god', which shows that she really can't beat him.
Moreover, Lowry vaguely felt that although the Sun God didn't say much, he was indeed the one who could slightly control the Goddess of the Night's madness.
The last time he suddenly descended on Lowry's territory was obviously to support him.
That's why the Goddess of the Night, who is so prone to blaming others, finally left silently.
Otherwise, how could she let Lowry, who had watched her great show, retreat unscathed?
Lowry was on guard for a long time afterwards!
But the Goddess of the Night just made a routine move... Although it wasn't good, it didn't escalate the resentment between the two sides to the point of hatred.
All this proves that although she seems unscrupulous, she does have a bottom line that only she understands and will seriously abide by.
As the Northern Territory High Priest, Schroeder needs to deal not only with the Northern Territory royal family, but also with other church members in his country.
Most importantly, he must understand the subtle connections between his own main god and other gods.
Regardless of whether High Priest Schroeder is full of vigilance and fear towards the Goddess of the Night because he has discovered some 'secrets', he should not ignore the most crucial point.
This is something that would only be done by putting one's own feelings above the gods.
But he obviously felt that he was very loyal and full of vigilance against everything outside... At least at this moment, High Priest Schroeder didn't intend to help outsiders do some seemingly easy and insignificant things.
Lowry thought for a while before saying, "His spirit and inertia are in conflict.
Years of dominating one side and holding all the power have made him put his own interests first, even to the point of completely disregarding the interests of the main god, although he still has inertial loyalty.
It is indeed stupid, but it is also what you have indulged him in."
Little Whirlwind shook his head dissatisfied: "What can we do?
It's already good enough to let them know awe.
Look at the Lord of Knowledge! He can't even control the hearts of the people in the Divine Kingdom on earth.
The same is true for the Lord of Wealth, tsk~ humans fear him and are willing to abide by the commercial rules he has set, because he can deplete wealth!
Those operators are not afraid of death, but they are afraid of losing money.
Heh~ As for the Lord of Courage, do you see him come out?"
Lowry was quite curious about this Lord of Courage who had been silent all the time: "Why is this one so silent?"
If the Lord of Courage hadn't been constantly blessing the warriors who had gained his approval in the Temple of Valor, Lowry would have really thought he had fallen into a deep sleep!
"He..." The Lord of Storms shook slightly, "Human understanding of valor is not quite the same as what the Lord of Courage hopes for.
That guy is a bit too naive and persistent in his personality, and he is not very willing to accept this kind of valor full of interests and desires, but he can't refuse it.
He doesn't think that such knights belong to his believers.
Therefore, the current Temple of Valor is more like a transactional belief.
If you meet certain standards set by the temple, he will bless you.
This is a blessing automatically issued by the divine fire, and does not require the Lord of Courage to witness it himself..."
The Lord of Storms immediately became interested and began to popularize some 'inside information' to Lowry, tearing the beautiful legends on the surface to pieces.
Lowry glanced at the Lord of Storms lightly... No wonder the knights of every country basically visit the Temple of Valor, even if they have their own beliefs.
Moreover, the Temple of Valor is not common, and is generally only found in the capital or duchy, and are all built with funds from the king and nobles.
It turns out that it is because the believers of the Lord of Courage are basically pan-believers, and they simply cannot preside over the construction of the temple.
Therefore, even if the Lord of Storms described this Lord of Courage as a strong man pursuing faith, Lowry was still full of doubts in his heart.
But he didn't intend to show it, but just turned the topic back again: "High Priest Schroeder doesn't seem to intend to betray..."
The Lord of Storms said in surprise: "You don't think he would dare to betray me directly in the Storm Church, do you?
Lowry, how can you be so naive?
The biggest problem is that he let Watson finish his words.
Oh, right, you usually don't have much contact with devout believers, and you only think about this from the perspective of ordinary believers."
Lowry was a little confused: "Shouldn't that be called a fanatic?"
"If he were a fanatic, he should have rushed into the scroll the first time the illusion appeared, and he would not allow any threats to appear outside the door of his god's church.
Thinking for even one more second is an insult to his own faith.
Devout believers will consider some external factors and endure for the sake of the overall situation... But is Watson that kind of thing worthy of his forbearance?
He is just a messenger, not a true god descending.
At this point, Lowry, this is already an insult to me, the Lord of Storms!
Killing Baron Watson directly to warn the mastermind behind him to be honest is what the high priest should do.
I am not afraid of starting a war with anyone, does my high priest need to be afraid that I will be defeated by someone?"
The Lord of Storms suddenly found it funny: "Why am I popularizing the common sense of the divine system to you here!
You, too, your way of thinking is becoming more and more dragon-like, and you have no sense of awe, so you definitely can't understand these things.
The faith of dragons is basically no different from that of non-believers."
Lowry squeezed his carving knife and smiled awkwardly: Well, that's actually right.
When he was a descendant of the dragon, even if he went to temples to burn incense and pray, he didn't have much awe.
When he came to this world... Well, whoever enters this damn multiverse wouldn't be full of awe for any god, and it would be respectful if he hadn't read a few related books.
Then let's just say that he is ignoring the majesty of the gods because his dragon blood is boiling.
"Then what are you going to do?" Lowry was about to forget how long it had been since he had addressed the Lord of Storms, who he often visited, as 'you', but the Lord of Storms spoke to him too equally, and his tone was always a bit lacking in virtue, and he found it a bit difficult to regard the other party as an elder to respect.
"What can I do? Just watch!" The Lord of Storms replied indifferently, "It's already like this, so be prepared to make the best use of waste."

Hamilton Storm Bishop Blair looked at the account book in front of him with a solemn expression.
As the manager of the church, he also has a certain revenue task.
Even if it is not possible to obtain a lot of benefits, at least a balance of payments must be achieved.
Logically speaking, churches like theirs that have just opened up the situation should not be so difficult.
After all, the Church of the Lord of Storms, even if there are not many people, rarely faces the threat of a dead end.
What's more, the incarnation of the Lord of Storms is wandering in the Northern Territory.
Even if the people in the Northern Territory don't have the habit of praying in the church every day, and they don't donate money to the church, the Storm Church in the Northern Territory actually only needs a bishop, two or three pastors, and a bunch of trainee pastors... Relying on selling holy water and some wind-based auxiliary potions is enough to support everyone very well.
However, Blair now not only needs to support the respected High Priest, but also needs to support so many formal pastors who have relatively high requirements for life!
The High Priest is easy to handle.
Although the food and wine sent to him every day eventually benefit the few little trainees standing guard outside, the High Priest will not have any dissatisfaction.
After all, for High Priest Schroeder, no matter how hard the church tries, it cannot provide meals that he would be interested in.
As long as Blair maintains enough respect and does not send him bad things, there will be no problem.
But that group of pastors who came to gild themselves are really troublesome.
They live in the regional church, but want to live the life of a duke's mansion... Even Earl Hamilton, who was born in the royal family, is not so extravagant!
The most terrible thing is that they eat and live in the Storm Church, but they don't give the church a commission when selling potions!
They even think that the holy water made every morning is cheap for Blair.
Don't even think about it, which church makes a lot of money by relying on holy water!
Blair stretched out a hand and pinched the root of his nose between his eyes, trying to keep himself from fainting because of the terrible numbers on the bill.
If this continues, there is no need for someone to kick him out to take his place, Blair is going to resign himself!
He slammed the table heavily, but still didn't dare to say anything to High Priest Schroeder... Why did the Storm Church have a financial crisis three months later?
Naturally, it was because after the illusion attack in the summer, the nobles in the Northern Territory unanimously chose to avoid it.
