Helping with Adventurer Party Management

Episode 568: Miracle Maker

Throw me a question here to see how Michelino Sabbath is going.

"When I say miracle, do you mean magic?

Many priests can use magic involving healing.

Now adventurers can be treated in church if they pay for it, and Kenji himself has been treated for his legs with advanced sorcery.

In a moment, the high priesthood may need the condition that very advanced therapies can be used.

But Michelino's answer was a little different.

"Right. It may be a form of witchcraft... but, Mr. Kenzi, how well do you know about church witchcraft?

"It's embarrassing, but I know very little"

When I was an adventurer, I wanted to know about the magic of treatment, but I didn't have the edge (cone) for it or the funds to learn.

Now that I've quit my adventurer, I have the edge and the money, but I don't have the time and motive to learn.

My job now is every day I run around as a shoe factory owner and as a deputy to deal with the problems that keep happening, and I don't have time to take the luxury of acquiring one skill as complex as magic.

Now, if you need treatment, it's more efficient to pay someone in the church to do it.

Michelino Sabbath did not look particularly disturbed and continued to explain.

"There are various Church definitions of miracles, but miracles generally refer to what can't be achieved with existing sorcery."

"Existing sorcery..."

"That's right. It includes developing new sorceries, but as priests, you are expected to make something special."

"But is it convenient to be so miraculous?"

I find the explanation that miracles are miracles because they rarely happen, and that all high priests are people who have done miracles, less convincing.

"There, well, yeah. It's hard to prove that a miracle actually put it down. Sometimes miracles happen for a moment, sometimes with little or no witnesses."

Oh, I see. Is that the story?

"So you're going to talk about the fact that making witnesses is essential for miracle certification. And for it to spread widely, when printed, it's better. Besides, if the illustration is central and the unschooled civilian population can understand the content, it will be a great force."

The clergy's miracle certification, in short, refers to public opinion manipulation to gain a reputation that the clergy can perform as many miracles as they deserve.

If we understand it that way, we'll see how effective the printing industry can be in miracle-certified public opinion manipulation and why the Church looks at it.

The idea goes hand in hand with publishing the leader (Jilboa) hero Tan.

Just as heroes have hero Tan, high priests need miracle Tan, which grows greatly with printed booklets going over.

In that case, the meaning of the printing industry for the high priests who seek to emerge can be seen with clarity.

"The exposing of the printing industry will determine the birth of the higher ecclesiastical figures. Is that what this is about?

"Yeah, unfortunately for Mr. Kenji, who wants to distance himself from church politics, that's what I'm saying"

Contrary to Michelino Sabbath, which I explain in quiet terms, I held my head in my heart.
