After returning home from Green Lake, Xia De took his cat out in the snow and donated the prize money given by Reedvich after the crackdown of the human trafficking case to local orphans through the Dawn Church.
The Church of the Five Gods in the Diocese of Tobesk now provides relief meals to the poor at the entrance of the church and the outskirts of the city, and because it is particularly cold this winter, it also provides small bags of coal to poor families with at least two children.
The paper bags that wrap coal are also flammable materials for ignition, and are printed on them-
[May the saints' remaining food be warm and hungry and cold body].
The newspapers call the church's generosity "the gospel of the ashes", which Xia De felt was very appropriate.
When Shade arrived at the church to donate, he happened to meet the priest Augustus and his group who were about to go out. So he was pulled by the priest and priests of the Dawn Church to go to the Anthem Square in the slums in the north of the city, that is,
At the entrance of the Three Cat Hotel, relief grain was distributed in front of the porridge shop built there. Xia De even found that there was a box of matches in the paper bag wrapped in the coal.
"I don't know if there will be little match girls in this era."
Those who came to receive relief were those poor people who really needed relief, thin-clothed women holding their children, disabled people with disabilities, laid-off workers who were frowning and lowered their heads and didn't want to be seen by neighbors, and their hair was supported by each other.
The gray old people are the most common objects in the team.
The young priests in the church were responsible for supervising people's queues together with the police who maintained order. Xia De in the shed looked around and saw people wearing headscarves and squinted their necks, gradually forming a long-distance team in the bustling square.
.
The snow in the Anthem Square has been cleared out, but the sky is still covered with snowflakes. The singing of the bard from the Three Cats Hotel can be vaguely captured. The weather is very cold and there are not many people outside.
I am willing to speak loudly with trembling trembling.
Shade, who was surrounded by the scarf given by Iluna at the end of last year, and together with Priest Augustus, handed the bread to the people who had received the hot porridge made of vegetables and rice. It was cheap wheat bran bread, although the taste was
Oops, but at least it can fill your stomach.
Although the priest was happy that Xia De was really willing to come with him, he still told Xia De worriedly:
"It's not just Tobesk, but after the snow that affected most of the old continent began, the situation in the entire Old continent will be very difficult this winter.
A cathedral like Tobesk can maintain donations of this scale, and the city hall is willing and the royal family also has to take into account the face, so there is no situation where a large number of hunger falls on the roadside, but the situation in those rural areas can be
It's really not good."
Xia De also learned about the impact of this sudden and massive blizzard from newspapers in the past two weeks:
"I remember this summer, people with insight had already predicted the situation this winter. The Yodel Palace also issued a special decree to allow granaries in various places to store grain in advance."
"Yes, you're very busy in the fall, probably noticing that the number of news about fires in granaries across the country this fall is much higher than normal years."
The priest handed the bread to the hands of the woman who was chalked by the cold water of winter. After accepting the other party's low thanks, he lowered his voice and said to Xia De:
"I heard from the church that the southern part of Delarion had soared bread prices due to poor harvests, causing workers to strike and the poor to rush."
Xia De bent down and leaned out of the porridge shop stall, stuffed two breads to the teenage girl who was holding her baby brother. He gave the girl two shillings coins while calmly. The girl
He looked very surprised, and after thanking him timidly, he hugged his younger brother and ran towards his grandmother with a cane with bread.
Shade lowered his voice and continued to talk to Priest Augustus:
"When domestic public opinion discusses the issue of food shortage this winter, most of them criticized Carsonrick's fertile plains in Delarion during the last full-scale war in the Old Continent. This is not a good signal."
"The natural climate this winter is so poor. If you really want to fight, can the logistics supply really stand up?"
The priest couldn't help asking, because Shade had received news from Galina and Lessia, so he knew more:
"There was originally a plan to start a full war, especially after the funeral of the princess in the south at the beginning of the month. But no one expected that the snow would have such a large impact, which became a good thing. Neither country would have the confidence to end the war in a short time.
, Blizzard will cause major logistical problems, so there is almost no possibility of a full war this winter.
At present, the two countries are likely to support small principalities on the border to engage in proxy wars, and test their opponents first.
Now that the army has already set up troops on the border, naval ships are almost firing fires at each other. From the autumn, the routes of the New World must not only prevent pirates, but also the navy of neighboring countries. In this case, no one can stop the lion Ryan and Larus III.
——Unless the church is willing to directly interfere in secular politics, we all know that unless civilization encounters a crisis, the church will hardly interfere in secular politics.”
"Yes, the change of royal power and the replacement of power are as common to the church as natural phenomena."
The priest sighed and directed Xia De to throw the empty basket behind him, and then moved the new basket full of bread to the stall. He wanted to say something to Xia De, but found the team queuing up to receive the relief grain.
There was a commotion behind.
The man with a brown wool hat who had received the bread handed over to the priest turned around and looked back. Because he was curious, the frost on his eyebrows was shaken off. The young priests responsible for maintaining order rushed to check the situation.
Then I found an old man wearing a headscarf lying on the square.
Shade signaled the priest to see what happened. No matter what the situation was, the people in the lower city obviously respected the respected old priest more.
So Priest August left the stall temporarily, and the noisy crowd blocked Xiade's view. But soon the Priest came back and shook his head at Xiade:
"He has passed away. She has received the food and is on the way back."
"Is it helpless?"
The old priest sighed and continued to hand over bread to those who were still queuing in the snow with Xia De:
"The mortal will die. Perhaps in that eternal dream, she can return home with food and spend a warm night full."
This severe weather caused severe snow disaster in Tobesk area, and the affected area was the central and western regions of the Old Continent. Even the Yara Khan Desert, which rarely rains and snows in winter in southern Lake Green, welcomed 300
The biggest winter snowfall of the year.
Although the second round of snowfall since Monday was not as big as the first round, a snow belt spanning the two countries was still created in the middle of the Old Continent in just half a week.
No mistakes, one song, one post, one content, one reading!
The newspaper reports on the disaster situation in various places gradually overwhelmed the discussion and accusations between the two countries about the "princess assassination" and "Tobesque slave labor trafficking", but Xia De did not take away on Tuesday.
The article in the Southern newspapers still saw the lion Ryan vowed to take revenge on Drarion-
Saradir County borders Carsonrik, where the witch followers always send important southern newspapers directly to Tobesque by special means.
The follow-up response caused by such a large-scale snowfall will probably make this winter a difficult memory that many people will never forget in the next many years. Carsonrick and Delarion frequently issue political decrees to eliminate the subsequent disaster.
Influence, we strive to avoid large-scale turmoil before the end of the year.
Like Xia De, Jialina thought this snow was actually good news:
"Originally, Lesia's father was ready to go all out before the end of the year, but the heavy snow cooled down the war fanaticism between the two kings.
The total war before spring is likely not to happen, but peace talks are also impossible. The agent war I mentioned before will probably come soon, wait and see the news, what will happen recently to let the citizens know.
His Majesty the King did not sit in the palace of Yodel all day and eat the roasted suckling pig."
Shade doesn't know whether Larus III likes to eat roasted suckling pigs, anyway, he and Mia don't like it. The beginning of this week means that the last month of this year has entered the second half of the month, and the big event this week is
Group tasks.
During the day on Tuesday, everyone gathered at Dr. Schneider's clinic again in the snow. It took two full hours to watch the psychologist explain in detail the experimental tasks assigned to the group tomorrow on a small blackboard.
Five Relic Derivatives - [Fate Observer Card] will be delivered tomorrow. After the mission at night begins, the academy has designated five specific locations in the Tobeske area, and the five people need to be in order one by one, in those
Position activates their respective cards.
The college’s suggestion is that the group will act together. After the group members complete a test, they will go to the next location together. The five people are arranged in the order from low to high, that is, Priest Augustus → Luvia → Do
Rothy → Shade → Dr. Schneider.
The doctor informed everyone about the meeting place tomorrow and the relevant situation of the five locations, and was optimistic that except for the road that may be difficult to walk tomorrow night, there should be no other problems:
"Except for the last location, the cemetery on the outskirts of the city, other places are scattered all over the city. Like the last mission, I have rented a carriage in advance, and we will rely on this to move tomorrow night. The priest and I are responsible for driving the carriage in turns,
The Astronomy Academy requires the diviner to be in charge of the cards that have not been activated, and this is Annat's job."
"Does the derivatives of the relics with our information need to be submitted after use?"
Xia De asked worriedly, and the doctor shook his head:
"This is not necessary. These derivatives only have an observational effect and can only exist for 24 hours after activation. We are responsible for recording the exact disappearance time."
