Every time I come home, my wife is making garbage

Chapter 222 There is only one way now
The servant quickly returned to Gilneas Town and reported to Zhang Jingyi: "Your Majesty, your prediction is correct. Grand Duke Suleimani and the Golden Archbishop of the Holy See of Light really had a quarrel over whether to use the clockwork water pump. The two sides were very unhappy. Suleimani insisted on buying more water pumps from us despite the Archbishop's objection."

Zhang Jingyi chuckled: "Very good, a very beautiful start. Go and inform the dwarves to produce a large number of clockwork water pumps and sell them in large quantities to the towns and villages under the jurisdiction of Sunshine City. Then more interesting things will happen."

The dwarves in Gilneas town were happily working on their ironwork. By selling a clockwork water pump, they could earn some money to buy beer, and they were extremely happy.

These pumps were transported to Sunshine City one by one under the operation of Adrian's servant caravan and handed over to Soleimani.

Soleimani certainly would not spend the money himself to save civilians. He asked civilians in villages and towns to raise money to buy water pumps.

In the world of swords and magic, just like in medieval Europe, there is a serious shortage of manpower. The villagers simply cannot irrigate the large farmlands by carrying water in their hands or on their shoulders, so they can only pay to buy pumps.

People in a village pool their money to buy a water pump, and the whole village shares the pump, just like the whole village shared a water truck in the past.

Heavenly division… …

Glass brought several followers to the rural area outside Sunshine City, preparing to preach and recruit believers. Unexpectedly, as soon as he reached the small river outside the village, he heard cheers coming from the river.

When I got closer to take a look, I saw that it was the farmers in the village who were setting up the water pump they had just bought by the river.

The water pump was bought with money pooled by the whole village, so everyone came to see the sight.

The pump was set up not far from the waterwheel, but the waterwheel could no longer reach the water surface. It was looking pitifully at the villagers who had abandoned it as they surrounded their new pet, feeling full of grievances.

The strongest man in the village was in charge of winding the spring. He turned it up to full speed with a creaking sound, and then when he let go, he saw the pump start to work, pumping the white river water into the canal.

When the whole village saw this scene, they all smiled.

"That's great. Finally, I can get water conveniently."

"As long as this is wound up, it will work for a long time, right? How long can it last when it is wound up last time?"

"The merchant said that this clockwork has a very powerful enchantment. If you fully wind it up, it can be used for a whole day."

"Then we can just take turns sending one person to wind it up every day?"

"Wow, this is really convenient."

“Who on earth could have made such a powerful machine?”

"It's the work of the Black Hammer Dwarves. Look, there's a Black Hammer Dwarf logo engraved on the base of the machine."

"Oh, it's the Black Hammer Dwarf. I've heard of it, but never seen it."

"More than a decade ago, there were Blackhammer dwarf blacksmiths in Sunshine City, running a large blacksmith shop. I ran into them in a tavern in the city, and they were fighting with their fists... It is said that many noble lords in the city used armor and weapons made by them, but later... you know..."

The villagers had just started chatting here when they heard a cough nearby.

Everyone turned around and saw Glass standing nearby with a few followers.

The villagers were immediately frightened and their faces turned half black.

Several people took two steps back in panic, shaking their heads desperately: "Father, we didn't say anything." Glass had heard it!

But you have heard it, and you can't get angry in this situation. These villagers are the ones that the Holy See of Light has been "converting". In order to attract them to join the church, the Holy See of Light has spent a lot of effort, reading the "Bible of Light" to them, teaching them knowledge and culture... If you give up just because of their few comments, it would be too cruel.

When facing the lower-class people, the Holy See of Light cannot be too cruel; it must act like that.

Glass showed a gentle smile on his face, as harmonious as holy light: "It's okay, it's okay. The God of Light loves everyone in the world, regardless of skin color or race. The God of Light is also happy to see that you have solved the drought. Well... use this machine well to irrigate the farmland..."

But in my heart I was cursing: Shit! Shit! Dwarves are so fucking disgusting.

The villagers were still a little nervous. Everyone knew the nature of the Holy See of Light. If they caught a heretic, they would burn him to death… Human heretics might be “reformed” or “corrected”, but if they caught a sub-human, they would burn them all to death without any discussion.

Very scary!

The villagers sneaked away carefully...

Glass had originally wanted to preach here and tell Bible stories to the villagers, but now he was not in the mood. He twitched his facial muscles awkwardly and headed to the next village.

As soon as we arrived at the next village, we heard cheers from the people in this village by the river. They had also set up a clockwork water pump.

Moreover, they were talking about the same topic as the previous village.

The magical machines of the Black Hammer Dwarves have begun to be fully deployed... As long as Soleimani supports it, the Holy See of Light will be helpless and can only watch the influence of the "evil god" Moradin slowly spread.

Glass returns to the Cathedral of Light in Sunshine City...

When he was walking on the street, his face was still full of gentle smiles, but as soon as he entered the church, where ordinary people couldn't see him, the expression on his face immediately got out of control and collapsed.

With a sullen face, he quickly came before the golden-robed archbishop.

"Archbishop, the situation is very bad." Glass said, "These damn pumps are taking away the civilians' faith in the God of Light, and we can't do anything about it."

The Golden Archbishop's face was extremely grim. "This is all your fault. If you hadn't suffered a huge defeat in the Western Forest and killed all the subhumans in the forest... this wouldn't have happened."

Glass: “…”

The archbishop continued, "We have lost control of West Wasteland Town, and we have lost our bridgehead for continuing to attack the Western Forest. If you were still in the church in West Wasteland Town, these clockwork pumps would never have a chance to be transported to Sunshine City."

Glass was unable to defend himself and had to remain silent.

Archbishop: "There is only one way to solve this problem now."

Glass: “?”

Archbishop: "Send someone to buy a clockwork water pump. We will disassemble it and study its structure. Then our blacksmiths of the Church can forge it and engrave the sun mark of our God of Light on it and sell it all over Middle-earth before these water pumps flow into other cities... When the water pumps we make occupy the mainstream market position, we can openly say that this is divine technology bestowed by the God of Light. We made it first, and it was the evil god Moradin who stole the technology of the God of Light."
