V2.Chapter 155

On the way to the camp, the priest of the goddess of wealth has been observing here.

These people who believe in Ms. Fortune have a keen insight, especially in the grasp of wealth and business opportunities. Not much is known about Lady Fortune, Sauron, because she is usually a very low-key god, and even the new Lady Fortune has replaced the old Lady Fortune, and people didn't discover it until hundreds of years later. The reason for the discovery was that Ms. Fortune was upgraded from a weak divine power to a medium divine power, and at the same time, she changed the position of the priesthood she had previously held.

The Lady of Fortune in the past was the 'God of Trade and Wealth', while the present Lady of Fortune is the 'God of Fortune and Trade'.

The replacement of a position means that the divine power she has mastered has been doubled!

The Lady of Fortune, who used to have [Trade] as her core priesthood, can be said to fluctuate greatly in her power. Once a war affects trade, her power will begin to be affected, because there is basically no way to conduct trade in that case, and naturally there is no way. Raise the power she gains. However, with [Wealth] as the core priesthood of this lady, her divine power has gradually stabilized, and because the Temple of Wealth has become a bank-like existence, she maintains a strong divine power almost all the time, and because of this, she has meddled in [ Protection] money field.

Wealth, trade, money and protection!

This newly succeeded lady of wealth was not discovered by others until this time, and she had already replaced the goddess of wealth in the past!

Since then.

The power of the Temple of Wealth has suddenly become a first-class force in the mainland, occupying an important position in the game of the Church of the Gods.

………………

Sauron was also quite surprised when he heard this knowledge for the first time!

Because he never thought that just by changing the position of the priesthood, such a big change can be made, so that a god who was already about to be weakened, rushed into the field close to the powerful divine power in one breath. If it wasn't for the fact that Ms. Fortune still had a strong control over trade, and because the underdevelopment of mainland trade had affected her divine power, she would most likely have become the first god to enter [Powerful Divine Power] in hundreds of years.

A row of neat brick houses.

A straight drainage ditches.

The streets are lined with straightforward shops, taverns and blacksmiths. There are also purpose-built public toilets, there is no squalid mess of other towns and there is not even a lot of rubbish to see on the roads.

Everything here is so clean and tidy that other people even think that Sauron has a slight cleanliness!

"Your Excellency really surprised me!"

Ms. Fortune, the pastor dressed in jewels, stared at the surroundings with a thoughtful look on her face, and said slowly, "This place is full of vitality and vitality, and that is the breath of wealth gathering."

such a town.

As long as there is a stable order, many merchants will soon be attracted.

Overseas trade is now in the hands of Sauron, and the port of Taro and the town that is being built are the two points, strangling the front and rear of the overseas route. As long as Sauron is willing to let go a little, it can attract a large number of adventurous merchants. And trade is exactly what the Lady of Fortune needs, which can expand her faith and strengthen her power. The weakening of the city of wealth has temporarily affected trade, and the chaos that happened before has no way to recover in a short time.

That's why she's here!

"Please!"

Sauron raised his hand and made an inviting gesture, then turned around and entered the hall.

Just when Ms. Fortune's priest sat down, Gloria, who was wearing a black witch robe, also appeared in the hall. She glanced at Sauron, and then nodded lightly.

"Your Majesty the Witch!"

Ms. Fortune's priest stood up and bowed slightly to Gloria in respect. As a representative from the Church of Fortune, she is well aware of Gloria's identity and status, as well as her influence in the witch council. She even knew that Gloria had been promoted and rewarded by the Witch Council for touching the realm of the legendary witch.

Gloria smiled and nodded in response. He stretched out his hand and made an inviting gesture, as if he was the hostess here.

She smiled and said, "Welcome to the messenger of Madam Fortune. Your presence makes this place full of brilliance."

Everyone took their seats.

Ms. Fortune's pastor glanced at the others, got up and smiled and said, "Just call me Kim. In fact, I did bring Ms. Fortune's kindness here."

gold?

Weird monophonic name.

The priest named 'Jin' walked to the center of the hall and said slowly: "It seems that Your Excellency intends to develop this place into a city. I have to admit that Your Excellency has a very unique vision! But if you want to develop the overseas islands that are too remote, This requires considerable human and financial resources. As far as I know, although your Excellency has a close relationship with the Ocean Temple, they have not provided any help. On the contrary, your trade from the overseas archipelago still has a large part to be handed over. give them."

The jeweled Jin smiled slightly, and her delicate face was full of confidence. She took out a card with golden light flowing, and said solemnly: "This is a divine power gold card of the Temple of Wealth, as long as you hold it, you can use it at any time. Draw 100,000 Kindlers from any temple of wealth on the continent!"

She handed this gold card to Sauron and smiled confidently: "This is just a gift from us to your Excellency."

"Please don't refuse!"

"This gift is not part of our next transaction. Whether we can cooperate or not, this gift only represents our hearts and minds. And express our gratitude to your Excellency for re-establishing the rules of the South Coast and allowing trade to return to normal order!"

One hundred thousand Kindlers! ! !

Not only Sauron, but even Gloria next to him was surprised.

Based on Sauron's experience, it's not that he has never met someone with a lot of wealth, such as the Church of the Gods and the Royal Family, and so on. see you!

Fortune Church really has a lot of money!

The 100,000 Kindlers smashed down, and even Sauron couldn't help but breathe a little harder, and then reached out to take it with a smile.

Do not take white do not take.

He could never have too much money in his hands. Since she had already said that it was a free gift, Sauron naturally ate it first.

Seeing that Sauron took this divine power gold card, a satisfied smile appeared on the corner of Ms. Fortune's mouth, and at the same time, her expression became more and more complacent.

Fortune Church is so confident!

No one can refuse them so firmly when money makes the way.

Kim raised his finger and turned around the ruby ​​ring he wore on his index finger. Then she glanced at a servant beside her, and even though someone handed a document to Sauron, she was quite confident: "The Church of Fortune has the most powerful strength on the south coast! Your Excellency wants to build this place. The financial resources needed can be fully borne by us! At the same time, the Church of Fortune also holds the largest and most mineral resources on the south coast, and we have very abundant slave resources, which can replenish the manpower you need at any time!”

"It can be said that we can provide you more than the Ocean Temple, which will only extract profit value from you!"

"As for what we need."

"It's just that you open the city to us, give us free authority to trade overseas, and then build a temple of wealth here so that we can develop believers for the goddess."

Jin stared at Sauron with some satisfaction, she believed that the generous conditions she offered would make the other party agree.

But what she never expected was. After Sauron glanced at the document, he said firmly: "I'm sorry! I'm afraid I can't agree to the above conditions!"

The conditions are actually quite good.

The Church of Wealth provided Sauron with funds, manpower and materials, and demanded that only the authority of the city be released, the authority of free trade in the overseas archipelago was given to them, and at the same time, they were allowed to develop their beliefs and build temples. For Sauron, who has just completed its prototype, being able to get the support of the Temple of Fortune is not intended to greatly speed up the construction progress, but doing so is also quite dangerous for him.

Because of the Ocean Church!

Moreover, Gloria remained calm on the surface after hearing the conditions. Secretly speaking to Sauron with telepathy: "I can't agree! The shadow plane is connected to the camp, and we can't let other forces know the existence of the wizard tower!"

Yes.

Hearing Gloria's words, Soren woke up suddenly.

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 were, he couldn't agree.

The authority of the city must be firmly in his own hands, and opening the authority to build a temple would interfere with Sauron's influence.

Moreover, behind everything he relies on is the Ocean Church. Now that the shrine of the Ocean Church has not settled in, let the shrine of Lady Fortune enter first, with the temperament of the goddess of the ocean. Maybe if I find out, I will find Sauron to settle the account.

Jin's face was full of astonishment, she did not expect that Sauron would refuse so firmly.

Sauron was too embarrassed to be too stiff with the Fortune Church, not to mention that they had just given him 100,000 Kindlers, so he thought for a while, then slowly said: "But as my kindness, I am willing to Open some free trade permissions to the Fortune Temple. As for other things, I am afraid I have to ask the Ocean Temple what it means!"

Sea Temple.

Jin Wenyan couldn't help frowning. She came here because she knew that the Ocean Temple had far less influence on Sauron. If you asked the Ocean Temple, it was basically impossible to agree, because the Ocean Temple also needed faith. This place has not yet developed. Once it becomes an existence similar to Taro Harbor, the Ocean Temple will immediately send a priest to settle in. At that time, how could the Church of Fortune be allowed to enter? Although the power of the gods was intricate, the establishment of the temple was a pit.

When the temple stands, it lays the foundation.

You can see that the Church of the Ocean and the Church of the Storm above the Port of Taro have fought incessantly and secretly, but in the end there is still no winner, because both sides have the support of the temple behind them.

To build a temple here is to build half a wizard's tower!

As long as the god standing behind has not fallen, who has the ability to pull out a temple with divine power in the end?

The Battle of Amber City.

So many horror knights of the legendary challenge level have not been able to easily take down any temples, so it can be seen how powerful the protection capabilities of the temples are.

Sauron could not allow the power of the temple to enter his own territory.

Even, if possible, he wants to exclude the power of the Ocean Temple to the periphery, which is why he keeps planning to expand the port. There are too many important secrets in the camp.

"This!……"

Jin's expression was a little stunned and disappointed, but she had no idea of ​​giving up, because it was her mission to come here, and failing to complete the mission meant that the temple's evaluation of her would be lowered.

There was a smile on the corner of Gloria's mouth. He secretly spoke to Sauron with telepathy: "Stabilize her. She also has important uses. We can use her as a weight and take the opportunity to ask the Ocean Temple!"

Eat both ends?

Sauron was stunned for a moment, and then he was also thoughtful. He turned his head and glanced at Gloria in surprise.

This woman's political acumen is very high.

Facing Sauron's surprised gaze, Gloria smiled indifferently, then raised her hand to gently lift her long hair from her earlobe, and glanced at him.

then.

Sauron stood up and said, "If Your Excellency Pastor is not in a hurry, maybe you can stay here for a few days. I can immediately send someone to ask the meaning of the Ocean Temple."

"Your Excellency should have seen the port here. The land there is very open."

"Actually."

"I am preparing to sell some of the land there. Although the price is a bit expensive, I must be able to see the potential of those land in your eyes."

A very clever answer.

The pastor of Ms. Fortune was thoughtful after hearing the words, and then took a deep look at Sauron and said, "That's natural."

"Okay. I'll stay here and wait for your reply."

They did not agree to the terms of the exchange, nor did they agree to let them build a temple, but they were willing to sell part of the land.

This seems very meaningful!

From Jin's point of view, Sauron was undoubtedly quite afraid of the Ocean Temple, and did not want to lose the support of the Ocean Church. However, he was also attracted by the superior conditions of the Temple of Fortune, and did not want to give up such a powerful help easily. So there is such a tactful answer. If he is willing to sell the land near the port, the ownership of the land belongs to the Temple of Fortune. Even if it is impossible to blatantly build a shrine, it is possible to serve as a stronghold for the Fortune Church to develop its faith.

As for whether he can finally build a temple here to strengthen his faith, he obviously wants to see the strength of the two churches collide.

A very cunning and treacherous man!

He wants to swallow the benefits of both churches. However, he was reluctant to be involved in the battle of faith between the two churches.

a piece of land.

Jin has seen the topography of the port. It is a very superior natural port. If this place develops into a place like Tayro Port, then the port will undoubtedly be the most prosperous place with the most people. The fleet of ships coming and going will fill the port. On the contrary, the camp here is built on the inside and is surrounded by mountains on both sides. One side is close to the tropical jungle, and it is a little far from the port, so geographically speaking, it is not very advantageous. However, the terrain here is quite open and can be used to develop farmland. When she came, she saw a lot of farmland.

I thought so in my heart.

Jin couldn't help but despise Sauron a little more. After all, he was just a pirate leader who didn't have much business acumen. He only cared about what was dug out of the land, and he didn't realize that the greatest wealth here was trade.

If she came to build here, the city must be close to the coastal port, and it would be built directly into a port city!

Now.

If the port is developed, it is equivalent to laying out two cities, even if the distance is relatively close, but in the end, they are not connected. If you swallow the port and occupy the core area of ​​​​trade, then the value of the city here will decrease a lot.

The elite business vision made her realize that the port is the key, and the competition for faith in the future will also be in the prosperous port area.

now.

The most important thing is the confrontation with the Ocean Temple. If they can't collide head-on, they can only give each other a part of their interests, and strive to make each other get what they need.

It is a terrible thing to have friction between two powerful churches of the gods!

………………

A group of people from Lady Fortune's followers were quickly settled.

When Jin left the hall, she couldn't help seeing the figures of some drow warriors, which made her quite surprised, and turned to take a deep look at Sauron.

Drow Elf!

This kind of creature is quite difficult to deal with. It seems that they are the subordinates of this pirate?

Maybe he underestimated him too much.

The group was settled near the South Gate by Sauron, and at the same time secretly sent people to watch them, preventing these people from freely moving in the camp. Gloria also quietly arranged a vigilance circle to block the area connecting the shadow plane, and the portal has not yet been completely stabilized. If the portal is secured, the shadow fissures will concentrate, and the rest of the camp will not be able to enter the plane of shadow. The port is being developed, and when the time is right, they should be settled near the port.

"This may be an opportunity!"

Gloria waited until the Fortune Priest and his party left, and immediately came to Sauron, and said in a condensed voice: "The kindness from Ms. Fortune will make the Ocean Temple full of sense of crisis! This can win more benefits for us!"

"I know." Sauron nodded lightly.

But he then said solemnly: "But this matter must also be careful, because if we are not careful, we may offend two churches of gods at the same time."

Gloria raised her eyebrows when she heard the words, then raised her fingertips and swiped lightly on the map of planning and construction, dividing an area from it, and then slowly said: "Give up a part of the interests! Let them fight for themselves! "
