Chapter 155 Rich and Powerful! 5000 Words (First Update)

On the way to the camp, the priest of the Goddess of Wealth has been observing here.

Those who believe in Ms. Fortune have very keen insight, especially in grasping wealth and business opportunities. Not much is known about Sauron, the lady of fortune, because she is usually a very low-key deity, and even the new lady of fortune replaced the old lady of fortune, and it was not discovered until hundreds of years later. The reason for the discovery is that Ms. Fortune has upgraded from a weak divine power to a medium divine power, and at the same time changed the position of the priesthood she originally mastered.

Ms. Fortune in the past was the 'God of Trade and Wealth', but now Ms. Fortune is the 'God of Wealth and Trade'.

A change of position means that the divine power she has mastered has been multiplied several times!

Ms. Fortune, who used to take [Trade] as her core priesthood, her divine power fluctuated quite a lot. Once a war broke out and trade was affected, her power began to be affected, because basically there was no way to conduct trade under such circumstances, and naturally there was no way Increases the divine power she gains. However, as [Fortune] became the lady's core priesthood, her divine power gradually stabilized, and because the Temple of Wealth became a bank-like existence, she maintained a strong divine power almost all the time, and because of this, she got involved in [ Protection] money field.

Wealth, trade, money and protection!

The newly succeeded Ms. Wealth was not discovered by others until this time. She has already replaced the former Goddess of Wealth!

From then on.

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

………………

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

Because he never thought that just changing the position of the priesthood would bring about such a big change, allowing a god who was already on the verge of weakening to rush to a realm close to powerful divine power in one breath. If it weren't for Ms. Fortune's control over trade, she would still be strong. And because the underdeveloped mainland trade has affected her divine power, I am afraid that she is very likely to become the first god to enter the [Powerful Divine Power] in hundreds of years.

Rows of neat brick houses.

Straight drainage ditches.

There are simple and clear shops, taverns and blacksmiths on the streets, as well as purpose-built public toilets. There is no squalor in other towns, and there is not even any rubbish on the roads.

Everything here is very clean and tidy, so others even think that Sauron has a slight cleanliness!

"Your Excellency really surprised me!"

The Priest of the Lady of Fortune, all in jewels, looked around. His expression couldn't help showing a thoughtful look, and he said slowly: "This place is full of vigor and vitality, which is the breath of wealth gathering."

Such a town.

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

Overseas trade is now in the hands of Sauron. Tyro Port and the town being built in front of him are two points, strangling the front and rear directions of overseas routes. As long as Sauron is willing to let go a little, it will attract a large number of adventurous merchants. And trade is just what Ms. Fortune needs. This can expand her beliefs and strengthen her strength. The weakening of the city of wealth has temporarily affected trade, and the chaos that happened in front of her has not been able to recover in a short time.

That's why she came here!

"please!"

Sauron raised his hand as an invitation gesture, then turned and entered the hall.

Just as the pastor of Ms. Fortune had just sat down, Gloria in a black witch robe also appeared in the hall. She glanced at Sauron slightly, then nodded slightly.

"Your Excellency the Witch!"

The pastor of Ms. Fortune stood up and bowed slightly towards Gloria to show her respect, as a representative from Fortune Church. She was well aware of Gloria's identity and status, as well as her influence in the Witch Council. She even knew that Gloria had touched the realm of the legendary witch. He was promoted and rewarded by the Witch Council.

Gloria smiled and nodded in response, and stretched out her hand as an invitation gesture, just like the hostess here.

She smiled and said, "Welcome the envoy of Ms. Fortune, your presence will make this place flourish."

Everyone took their seats.

The pastor of Lady Fortune glanced at the others. Standing up and smiling, he said, "You can just call me Jin. In fact, my coming here has indeed brought the kindness of Ms. Fortune."

gold?

Very odd 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 vision is very unique! But if you want to develop the overseas islands that are too remote, This requires considerable manpower and financial resources. As far as I know, although you have a close relationship with the Ocean Temple, they have not provided any help. On the contrary, you still have a large part of your trade from the overseas islands to hand over. give them."

Jin, who was dressed in jewels, smiled slightly, and her delicate face was full of confidence. She took out a card that was shining with golden light, and said seriously: "This is a divine power gold card of the Temple of Wealth, as long as you hold it, you can use it anytime." Take 100,000 pieces of Kindler from any temple of wealth on the mainland!"

She handed the golden card to Sauron, and said with a confident smile, "This is just a gift from us to Your Excellency."

"Please don't refuse!"

"This gift is not part of our next transaction. No matter whether we can cooperate or not, this gift just represents our heart. And express our gratitude to you for re-establishing the rules of the South Coast and restoring the normal order of trade!"

One hundred thousand Kindlers! ! !

This time, not only Sauron, but even Gloria next to him were surprised.

With Sauron's experience, it's not like he hasn't seen rich and powerful people. He has contacted a lot of courts, royal families, churches of the gods, etc., but it is really the first time for him to give away 100,000 Kindlers for such an easy meeting. See you!

Fortune Church is really rich and powerful!

When the one hundred thousand Kindlers fell, even Sauron couldn't help but breathe a little harder, and then smiled and stretched out his hand to take them.

Do not take white do not take.

He can never have too much money in his hand, since she has already said that it is free, Sauron naturally eats it first.

Seeing that Sauron had accepted the Divine Power Gold Card, a satisfied smile appeared on the corner of Ms. Fortune's pastor's mouth. At the same time, his expression became more and more complacent.

Fortune Church is so confident!

No one can reject them so firmly when money clears the way.

Jin raised her finger and twirled the ruby ​​ring worn on her index finger, then gave a glance to a servant beside her, and then someone handed a document to Sauron, she said quite confidently: "Fortune The church has the most powerful strength on the south coast! The financial resources you need to build here 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. We have very abundant slave resources, which can be replenished at any time The manpower you need!"

"It can be said that we can provide you with more than the Ocean Temple, which only extracts benefits from you!"

"As for what we need."

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

Jin Po looked at Sauron with some complacency. She believed that the generous conditions she offered would make the other party agree.

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

Conditions are actually quite good.

The Church of Wealth provides Sauron with funds, manpower and materials, asking only to release the authority of the city, give them the authority of free trade in the overseas islands, and at the same time allow them to develop their faith and build temples. For Sauron, who has just completed the prototype, being able to get the support of the Temple of Wealth is unintentionally able 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, Goliath remained calm on the surface, and secretly said to Sauron with telepathy: "I can't agree! The camp is connected to the shadow plane. We can't let other forces know the existence of the wizard tower!"

Yes.

Hearing Gloria's words, Sauron suddenly woke up.

The value of that wizard tower is incalculable. It is absolutely impossible to let other forces know, so no matter how good the conditions of the Temple of Wealth are, he cannot agree to it.

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

and. He relies on the Church of the Ocean behind everything. Now that the temple of the Church of the Ocean has not settled in, let the temple of Ms. Fortune enter first. With the goddess of the ocean's petty temper, maybe he will find Sauron to settle the score if he finds out.

Jin's face was full of astonishment, she never thought that Sauron would refuse so firmly.

Sauron was too embarrassed to have too much trouble with the Church of Fortune, not to mention that they just gave him 100,000 Kindlers, so after a moment of thought, he said slowly: "But as my kindness, I would like to Open some free trade authority to the Temple of Wealth. As for other things, I'm afraid I have to ask the Temple of the Sea what it means!"

Ocean Temple.

Jin Wenyan couldn't help frowning. She came here because she learned that the influence of the Ocean God Temple on Sauron is far from that great. If you ask the Ocean God Temple, it is basically impossible to agree, because the Ocean God Temple also needs faith. This place has not yet developed yet. Once it becomes something similar to Port Tyro, the Ocean Temple will immediately send priests to settle in. How could the Fortune Church be allowed to enter at that time? Although the power of the gods is intricate, the establishment of the temple is a radish and a pit.

Once the temple has been erected, the foundation has been laid.

You can see that the Church of the Ocean and the Church of the Storm on the port of Tyro fought countless battles, but in the end they still couldn't decide the outcome, because both sides had the support of the temple behind them.

Building a temple here is equivalent to building half a wizard's tower!

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

The Battle of Amber City.

So many terrifying knights of legendary challenge level failed to capture any of the temples easily, so it can be seen how powerful the protection ability of the temples is.

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

Even, if possible, he would keep the Ocean Temple's power out of the periphery, which was why he continued to plan to expand the port. There were too many important secrets in the camp.

"this!……"

Jin's expression was a little astonished and disappointed, but he didn't have the idea of ​​giving up. Because it was her mission to come here, failure to complete the mission meant that the temple's evaluation of her would be lowered.

There was a slight smile on the corner of Gloria's mouth, and secretly said to Sauron with telepathy: "Steady her. She still has important uses. We can use her as a weight and take the opportunity to make a request to the Ocean Temple!"

Eat both?

Sauron froze for a moment, and then thought about it. He turned his head and glanced at Gloria in surprise.

This woman's political acumen is so high.

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

then.

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

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

"In fact."

"I'm planning to sell some of the land there. Although the price is a bit expensive, I think you should be able to see the potential of those lands from your eyes."

A very clever answer.

The pastor of Ms. Fortune thought deeply when he heard the words, and then took a deep look at Sauron, playing with his taste: "That's natural."

"Okay. I will stay here and wait for your reply."

They did not agree to the terms of the exchange, nor did they agree to allow them to build a temple. But they are willing to sell part of the land.

This seems very meaningful!

From Jin's point of view, Sauron was undoubtedly still quite afraid of the Ocean Temple, and he didn't want to lose the support of the Ocean Church. But he was also attracted by the superior conditions of the Temple of Wealth, and he didn't want to give up such a powerful support easily. That's why he had such a tactful answer, if he was willing to sell the land near the port. Then the ownership of the land belongs to the Temple of Wealth. Even if it is not possible to openly build a temple, it is possible to use it as a stronghold for the development of the Church of Fortune.

As for whether it is possible to build a temple here to strengthen the faith in the end. Obviously he wanted to see the strength collision of the two churches.

A very cunning and treacherous man!

He wants to swallow the benefits from the two churches, but he is unwilling to get involved in the faith struggle between the two churches.

a piece of land.

Jin has seen the topography of the port, it is a very superior natural port, if it develops into a place like Taylor Port. Then the port will undoubtedly be the most prosperous place with the most people, and the fleet of ships coming and going will fill the entire port. On the contrary, because the camp here is built in the interior, there are two sides surrounded by mountains, one side is close to the tropical jungle, and it is a little far from the port, so it is not very advantageous geographically. However, the terrain here is quite open and can be used to open up cultivated land. When she came, she saw a lot of cultivated land.

I thought so in my heart.

Jin couldn't help but look down on Sauron. After all, he was just a pirate leader without much business acumen. He only cared about what was dug out of the land, and didn't realize that the biggest wealth here was trade.

If she came to build this place, the city must be close to the coastal port, and it would be directly established as 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 after all. With the strength of the Temple of Fortune, it may not be impossible to eat away at the port bit by bit. If the port is swallowed up and the core area of ​​trade is occupied, then the value of the city here will decrease a lot.

Her sharp business vision made her realize that the port is the key, and the competition for faith in the future will also be in the bustling port area.

now.

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

Friction between two powerful churches of the gods is a terrible thing!

………………

A group of people from Ladies of Fortune 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!

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

Maybe I underestimated him too much.

This group of people was settled near the south gate by Sauron, and at the same time secretly sent people to watch them, preventing these people from moving freely in the camp. Gloria also quietly set up a security circle to seal off the area connected to the shadow plane, and the portal has not been completely stabilized yet. If the portal shadow rifts are stabilized, the shadow rifts will concentrate, and then the rest of the camp cannot enter the shadow plane. The port is under development, and they will be settled near the port when the time is right.

"This may be an opportunity!"

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

"I know." Sauron nodded slightly.

But he immediately said in a deep voice: "But this matter must also be cautious, because if we are not careful, we may offend two churches of the gods at the same time."

Goliath frowned when she heard the words, and then raised her fingertips to swipe lightly on the planning and construction map, dividing an area from it, and then slowly said: "Give up part of the benefits! Let them fight for themselves! "
