Let's Manage The Tower

Episode 11: Gods and things

In Earthgard's world, the blessings of God... the divine gifts have been confirmed in a considerable number.

Historically, the manifestation of God has been confirmed many times, so it is not uncommon to talk about giving things from God at that time.

Of course, what you said is gathered in the temple... and not all gods and objects are in the organization called the temple.

Somehow, if something blessed by God is forcibly taken or acquired from the owner, some sort of ”punishment” is given.

In fact, there are many records that when the people on the temple side forcibly acquired the divine objects they said in the past, they suffered a divine punishment.

Therefore, the gift of God is inviolable except for its rightful owner.

There are many things that can be handled by divine gifts.

It ranges from small objects that fit in the palm of your hand to weapons and armour, to buildings like shrines.

What is common is what God has touched directly, or given directly from God's hands.

Most of what is now considered divine gifts were confirmed and recognized by the temple side.

Of course, the temple side does not approve, but some people insist that the owner is a divine gift, but such things are only temporary.

Some people lie by insisting that it is a gift of God, but there is no way that the gods will do anything to such people.

Well, if I were a god, I wouldn't mind that kind of person.

Regardless of what I said, the value of what is recognized as a divine gift is immeasurable because even the giant organization of the temple cannot be devious.

Naturally, it can be taken for granted that somehow a person who intends to receive a legitimate assignment from the owner will emerge.

Even if it is an exchange of money, the owner has to admit it, so there are people who accumulate a lot of money.

Even in these cases, there is an agreement between the two, so what I said will not happen as a divine punishment.

Though I don't really understand the detailed line drawing, even if it takes the form of a contract, it may not be accepted as a contract in the form of a deception.

It was thought that the standard was only in God.

The fifth temple, where Kaiseki summoned Ellis and blessed him under his protection, is undoubtedly a divine gift in that sense.

Therefore, even if it were the temple side, none of them could do anything circumventionally.

As an examiner, naturally, I did this summons with that aim in mind.

However, the participants in this event were not far behind.

No, it is also important that a new divine gift is given to the world by God.

But more than that, the process that inspired the creation of the divine creature was problematic.

The process is the summoning of the gods who conducted the study.

For the first time in history, God was called to this world by man's hand and by man's will.

This is not going to be a commotion, and naturally it will soon spread around the world.

It would be pointless to lay down a moratorium.

It is a question of who will issue the decree, but the assistant who executed it is not going to stop the rumor.

It was a summons carried out in the presence of more witnesses than ever before.

If the temple side insists that it is not recognized as a god, it will only lead to the loss of authority of the organization called the Temple.

Therefore, as for the temple side, along with this summons, the fifth level of the temple can only be recognized as a divine gift.

The three pillars of the gods who appeared at the time of the summons were undoubtedly known to be authentic.

Doubting it in itself would eliminate its significance as a temple and a high priest.

If you say that it is a fake, you may even lose your power as a believer in the worst of gods.

As a clergyman, that's the last thing I want to happen.

And recognizing the fifth level of the temple as a divine gift is naturally a building that I would like to participate in as much as possible on the temple side.

The policy we have been pursuing so far has had to be changed.

Even if he actively lowered his head, he had to keep priests and witches in the fifth level of the temple.

Otherwise, it is visible that inquiries about why no priests or witches will be sent to the fifth temple, which has received blessings from the people.

I would certainly go to the tower, but perhaps not as much as the temple.

On the tower side, even if there is an inquiry, it is just a word that there is no inquiry from the temple side.

When the gods of the three pillars departed, there was a groan in the hall about the magnitude of the affair.

Among them, Laurel understood that all the temple's schemes to date had been lost.

And I sighed thinking about the future.

Until this happens, as a shrine, we can no longer dispatch priests and witches.

But on the tower side, you don't have to be a priest or a witch to manage the fifth level of the temple.

The management of the temple on the fifth floor, which is a divine gift, will be carried out under the sole authority of the owner, Kaiseki.

If the examiner doesn't have to be a priest or witch, he doesn't have to take the trouble to use the breathtaking priests or witches on the temple side.

Those who visit the fifth level of the temple will also accept the words of Kaiseki who summoned God.

Because the value of the fifth layer of the temple is first as a divine gift.

At least in the fifth temple, it is important that the God of the three pillars be summoned, and that the God of the three pillars be blessed, which is secondary with regard to its contents.

"... I thought you said you were drowning in a cure."

While the priests around him were still stunned, Laurel looked at the priests of the other two temples for a moment and murmured.

Laurel is no longer in the mood to give up.

I managed to devise a plan to make up for some of the rights in the tower, but each one was blown away.

Kaiseki, who summoned the God of the Three Pillars, can only treat him in the same way as Kouhi, the servant of God, if he is a person related to the temple.

For thou shalt not sneak to God that toucheth not.

Naturally, the opponent is the same person, so it's not unlikely to do a lot of things.

However, Kouchi has always refrained from examining beside him.

If I stimulated the exam aid, it was revealed that Kouchi came out, and that the exam aid itself was powerful in this case.

If we respond poorly, we can see the consequences of not losing authority on the temple side.

It was Laurel who gave up a big sigh thinking about the future.

While listening to the sighs around him, Reines asked Rick, a loyal minister sitting next to him.

"... is it real?

Lines herself is super classy as a merchant, but there is a neglect of magic and sanctity.

The feeling, or instinct, of the three pillars of God appearing in front of him undoubtedly claimed to be the real God, but Rick confirmed it much more familiar with what he said.

Rick has been instrumental in Lines' auxiliary presence because he knows exactly what he said.

"... undoubtedly..."

It felt like Rick had finally said it, so he narrowed down his words.

Thanks to the divinity of the gods of the three pillars, their influence has not yet fallen.

"I see..."

Rhineth closed his eyes after saying so.

I thought about examinations once more.

Summoning a single pillar of God would be a historic feat, and this summons was a three-pillar one.

That overwhelming power will soon spread among the adventurers invited this time.

Adventurers are sensitive to what they say is the power of others, thanks to their requests.

Naturally, depending on the content of the request, it may be hostile.

The more reckless the challenge is, the more adventurers who don't know the rumors of the mighty.

For this reason, this summons will spread among the adventurers.

Adventurers who are sometimes loyal to power.

It is natural to think that the number of Crown adventurers is increasing.

It is still the case today, but it will become an even more untouchable organization.

With that in mind, Lines trembled over his future relationship with the Crown.
