Chapter 155 Rich and powerful! 5000 words(1/2)
On the way to the camp, the priest of the Goddess of Wealth was always observing the place.
These people who believe in the Lady of Wealth have a very keen insight, especially in their grasp of wealth and business opportunities. I don’t know much about the Lady of Wealth, because she is usually a very low-key god. Even the new Lady of Wealth replaced the Lady of Wealth, and people only discovered it hundreds of years later. The reason for the discovery was that the Lady of Wealth has been promoted from weak divine power to medium divine power, and at the same time, the clergy she had originally mastered had changed a position.
The wealth lady in the past was the ‘God of Trade and Wealth’, while the wealth lady now was the ‘God of Wealth and Trade’.
The change of one position means that the divine power she has mastered has been several times increased!
The lady of Wealth, who once used [Trade] as the core priest, had a great ups and downs in divine power. Once wars and trade were affected, her power began to be affected, because in that case, there was basically no way to trade, and naturally there was no way to improve the divine power she obtained. However, as [Trade] was the core priest of this lady, her divine power gradually stabilized, and since the Temple of Wealth became a bank-like existence, she maintained her powerful divine power almost all the time, and was also involved in the [Protecting] Money field.
Wealth, trade, money and protection!
This new successor Lady of Wealth was not discovered until this time by others. She had long replaced the goddess of wealth from the past!
From then on.
The power of the Temple of Wealth has become a top-notch force on the continent and occupied an important position in the game between the Church of the Gods.
……………………
When I first heard about this knowledge, Sauron was also quite surprised!
Because he had never thought that just by changing the priesthood to another position, such a big change would be made, allowing a god who was almost weak to rush into the realm of powerful divine power in one breath. If it weren't for the fact that Lady Wealth still had strong control over trade, and because the lack of development of mainland trade affected her divine power, she would probably be the first god to enter [powerful divine power] in hundreds of years.
Rows of neat brick and tile houses.
Straight drainage ditches.
The streets are simply and clearly laid out shops, taverns and blacksmith shops. There are also specially built public toilets, which are not as dirty and messy as other towns, and there is no even much garbage on the roads.
Everything here is clean and tidy, and others even believe that Sauron has a slight obsession with cleanliness!
"Your Excellency really surprised me!"
The Pastor of Wealth, who was covered in jewels, looked around, and his expression couldn't help but reveals a thoughtful look, and said slowly: "This place is full of vitality and vitality, which is the breath of wealth gathering."
Such a town.
As long as there is a stable order, many businessmen will be attracted soon.
Overseas trade is now in the hands of Sauron. Port Taylor and the town being established in front of him are two points, strangling the front and back directions of overseas routes. As long as Sauron is willing to let go, it can attract a large number of adventurers to go. Trade is what Lady Fortune needs, which can expand her faith and strengthen her power. The weakness of the City of Fortune temporarily affects trade, and the chaos that occurred before cannot be recovered in a short period of time.
This is also the reason why she came here!
"please!"
Sauron raised his hand and made an invitation gesture, then turned around and entered the hall.
Just when the priest of Ms. Fortune had just sat down, Goria, dressed in a black witch robe, also appeared in the hall. She glanced at Soren slightly, then nodded gently.
"Old Master Witch!"
The pastor of Ms. Fortune stood up and leaned over to express her respect. As a representative from the Fortune Church, she knew very well that Galia's identity and status, as well as her influence in the Witch Council. She even knew that Galia was promoted and commended by the Witch Council because she touched the realm of the legendary witch.
Goria smiled and nodded in response. She reached out and made an invitation gesture, as if she was the hostess here.
She smiled and said, "Welcome the messenger of the Lady of Wealth, your arrival will make the place shine brightly."
Everyone sat down one after another.
The pastor of the Fortune Lady looked at the others, stood up and smiled, "Just call me gold. In fact, I did bring the kindness of the Fortune Lady."
gold?
A very strange monophonic name.
The priest named "Jin" in front of him walked to the center of the hall and slowly said, "It seems that you are planning to develop this place into a city. I have to admit that your vision is unique! However, it takes considerable manpower and financial resources to develop an overseas archipelago that is too remote. As far as I know, although you have a close relationship with the Ocean Temple, they have not provided any help. On the contrary, a large part of your trade from the overseas archipelago is to be handed over to them."
Jin, who was wearing jewels, smiled slightly, and was confident in her delicate face. She took out a card of golden light and said seriously: "This is a divine power golden card of the Temple of Wealth. As long as you hold it, you can withdraw 100,000 Jindler from any temple of wealth on the continent at any time!"
She handed the gold card to Sauron and smiled confidently: "This is just a gift for you."
"Please don't refuse!"
"This gift is not in our next transaction. Whether we can cooperate or not, this gift only represents our wishes. We also express our gratitude for your re-establishing the South Coast Rules and returning trade to normal order!"
Hundreds of thousands of Jindlers!!!
Not only Soren, but even Golia next to her was surprised.
With Sauron's experience, he has seen rich people. He has also contacted many people in the palace, royal church, gods, etc., but it was the first time he had seen him who could meet so easily and give him 100,000 Jindlers!
The Wealth Church is indeed rich and powerful!
The hundred thousand Jindlers were smashed down, and even Sauron couldn't help but breathe a little harder, and then he reached out to take it with a smile.
It’s useless to take it.
He never thought that there was too much money in his hand. Since she had already said it was for free, Sauron would naturally eat it first.
Seeing that Sauron had received the golden card of divine power, a satisfied smile appeared on the corner of the Pastor Ms. Fortune's mouth, and at the same time, her expression became more and more proud.
The Wealth Church is so confident!
No one can refuse them so firmly when money leads the way.
Jin raised his finger and turned the ruby ring on his index finger. Then he gave a look to a servant beside him. Then someone handed a document to Sauron. She said confidently: "The Church of Fortune has the most powerful strength on the South Coast! The financial resources you need to build here can be borne by us! At the same time, the Church of Fortune also has the largest and most minerals on the South Coast. We have very abundant slave resources and can replenish the manpower you need at any time!"
"It can be said that compared to the Ocean Temple that will only extract the value of interest from you, we can provide you with more!"
“As for what we need.”
“Just you open the city to us, give us the freedom to trade overseas, and then build a temple of wealth here to allow us to develop believers for the goddess.”
Jin Po looked at Soren with pride, believing that the generous conditions she provided could make the other party agree.
But what she never expected was that after looking at the document, Sauron said firmly: "I'm sorry! I'm afraid I can't agree to the above conditions!"
The conditions are actually quite good.
The Wealth Church provided Soren with funds, manpower and materials, requiring only the liberalization of the city's authority, giving them the authority to free trade in the overseas archipelago, and at the same time allowing them to develop their faith to build temples. For Soren, who has just completed the prototype, being able to obtain the support of the Wealth Temple is unintentional to greatly speed up the construction progress, but doing so is also quite dangerous for him.
Because of the Ocean Church!
Moreover, after hearing the conditions, Golia was still calm on the surface. She secretly responded to Soren and said, "You can't agree! There is a shadow plane connected to the camp, so we cannot let other forces know the existence of the Wizard Tower!"
Yes.
Hearing Galia's words, Soren woke up immediately.
The value of that wizard tower is immeasurable and must not be known to other forces. So no matter how good the conditions of the Temple of Wealth are, he cannot agree.
The authority of the city must be firmly in one's own hands, and opening up the authority to establish a temple will interfere with Sauron's influence.
Moreover, he relies on everything behind the ocean church. Now that the temple of the ocean church has not yet settled in, he will first let the temple of the lady of Wealth enter, and with the goddess of the ocean, he may find out and settle the score with Sauron.
Kim's face was full of shock. She had never expected Sauron to refuse so firmly.
Sauron was embarrassed to have a stalemate with the Wealth Church, let alone they had just given him 100,000 Jindlers, so he pondered for a moment and said slowly: "But as my kindness, I am willing to open some of the free trade authority to the Wealth Temple. As for other things, I probably have to ask the meaning of the Ocean Temple!"
Temple of the Ocean.
Jin Wenyan couldn't help but frown. She came here because she learned that the Ocean Temple had a far less powerful influence on Sauron. If you ask about the Ocean Temple, it would be basically impossible to agree, because the Ocean Temple also requires faith. This place has not yet developed yet. Once it becomes an existence similar to the Tailu Port, the Ocean Temple will immediately send a priest to settle in. How could it be allowed to enter the Wealth Church at that time? Although the power of the gods is complicated, the establishment of the temple is like a carrot and a pit.
The temple was established to lay the foundation.
You see, the Ocean Church and the Storm Church in Port Terrao are fighting countless openly and secretly, but in the end they still have no choice but to win or lose, because both sides have the support of the temple behind them.
Building a temple here is equivalent to building half a wizard tower!
As long as the god standing behind has not yet fallen, who is able to pull out a temple with divine power in the end?
The battle in Amber City back then.
So many legendary terror knights who challenge the level were unable to easily capture any temple, so you can see how powerful the temple's protection ability is.
Sauron could not allow the power of the temple to settle in his territory.
Even if possible, he would exclude the power of the Ocean Temple from the periphery, which is why he constantly plans to expand the port. There are too many important secrets in the camp.
"this!……"
Jin's expression was a little surprised and disappointed, but he had no idea of giving up, because it was her mission to come here, and not completing the mission means that the temple's evaluation of her will be reduced.
Goria had a smile on her lips. She secretly telepathically said to Soren: "Stay her. She also has an important purpose. We can use her as a bargaining weight and take the opportunity to make requests to the Ocean Temple!"
Take both ends?
Sauron was stunned for a moment, then he thought about something, and could not help but turn his head and look at Galia in surprise.
This woman is very politically keen.
Facing Sauron's surprised gaze, Golia smiled indifferently, then raised her hand and gently lifted up the long hair in her earlobes, and her eyes flicked at him.
then.
Sauron stood up and said, "If the priest is not in a hurry, maybe he can stay here for a few days. I can immediately send someone to ask about the meaning of the Ocean Temple."
"Your Excellency should have seen the port here. The land there is very open."
“In fact.”
"I am preparing to sell some of the land there. Although it is a little expensive, I believe that from your perspective, the potential of those lands should be seen."
A very clever answer.
To be continued...
