Chapter 328 Goddess of Wealth

As long as there is money to be made, there are goblins... Goddess of Fortune Chamber of Commerce, well, there is not much difference between the two, anyway, as long as there are gold coins, they exist almost everywhere.

The Goddess of Wealth, Beyana, is a god of wealth and commerce, but the biggest difference from other churches is that her priests are basically part-time businessmen, and many of them are even businessmen who have changed careers.

This goddess likes successful businessmen who can make money, and especially appreciates brand-new business models and markets, and regards them as important criteria for gaining her favor. Any successful business action is an expansion and interpretation of her teachings. Not to mention routine services such as holy water and healing potions, every Goddess of Wealth priest has a department store in her bag, where you can find all kinds of goods, and even their goddesses have created space gods specially used to store transactions. surgery.

But unlike the goblins who always make troubles, priests of the Goddess of Fortune are very popular everywhere. After all, they do not simply earn wealth for themselves, but create a source of wealth to produce wealth. There is nothing better than a new business route, wealth The place of origin is more favored by the goddess, but the best priest of the goddess of wealth does not care about the amount of money, and instead promotes the circulation of wealth after spending it.

A little hard to understand? There used to be one of the most typical examples, from the backcountry to the Icewind Dale area with a freezing period of at least 300 days a year, where there are only very powerful ice monsters, and it is impossible for crops to survive, but there is a very Delicious ice lake fish, but no one will trek through the ice and snow for half a year just to eat a fish.

However, a priest of the Goddess of Wealth discovered that the bones of the long-tailed fish were crystal clear, almost like crystals, and there has always been a local custom of processing fish bones into handicrafts. Bone art made of bone combs made by ancestral handicrafts has a unique style. It is said that combing your hair for a long time is also good for your hair and cervical spine. As a result, through a series of marketing, such as inviting famous city lords to wear handicrafts from the mainland border to attend important banquets, hyping up prices at auctions, and abruptly turning this worthless bone comb into a A rare item that is hard to find in the center of the mainland.

And what followed was that caravans traveled thousands of miles every year to obtain bone products. The local area also had new sources of income, and a new trade route was born. And the ordinary priest was favored by the goddess because of this. He is now the Archbishop of Orlis, the largest diocese of the Goddess of Wealth.

The priests of the Goddess of Wealth may not have money themselves, but they are never short of money. On the other hand, the more frequently businesses and currencies are used, the more perfect the priesthood of the Goddess of Wealth will be, and she will become more powerful.

In fact, Bijana is also known to dislike war. For her, stable business and trade are good. All Biana's priests will also work hard to extinguish the fuse of the war, and once there is a war. Plague, violence, killing and other priesthoods will rise, and the priests of those gods will make waves everywhere.

If the flames of war are raging, the "civilian" priesthoods such as literature and music will inevitably suffer blows.

There may even be hind legs of divine power, but both the gods themselves and their believers lack the ability to act. In a sense, Biana can be regarded as the backbone of the anti-war camp.

And in that declaration of the gods, as a hardcore death faction, the Goddess of Wealth, who has always been an anti-war faction, also took the lead in declaring war, which surprised many people.

But at this point, the one who has actually benefited the most is the Goddess of Wealth.

The concept of "currency" is included in the priesthood of commerce, and the tokens guaranteed by the official reputation are used as general equivalents. With currencies that can be exchanged in any region, there are extensions such as "finance", "futures", and "stock market" The emergence of the concept can further strengthen the concept of wealth. In other words, if there is a true god on the "earth" plane, money worship is rampant, and various economic forms are developed. The goddess of wealth may already be at the level of the supreme god, but here, The legacy of commercial trade stays at the most basic commodity trading, but she is still only a second-rate god with medium divine power.

"Unified currency" is very important to the Goddess of Wealth. This is often only possible after the development of commerce to a certain extent. It is difficult to develop and grow in this world. After all, there is no dynasty that never falls, and there are separatist regimes everywhere. In the Ashe Continent of the kingdom, precious metals are the most reassuring hard currency, but the inconvenience of carrying them is inevitable. It is not that no one has thought about and tried banknotes, but no one really dares to use them, even if they are forced by the kingdom occasionally. The promotion, either the area of ​​use is extremely narrow, or the credit is bankrupt in the end, and the end is dismal.

But since that declaration, there has been a new kind of "universal currency built purely on credit" in this world-justice points, seemingly unchanged, are the seeds of "credit currency". After all, there are no true gods. Guarantee that this currency will be worthless, which is a typical "virtual currency".

As a result, the rules of the world have changed, and Biana, who has mastered the exchange of justice points, has even developed several exclusive magic techniques, allowing her high-level priests to become wartime stores that provide various material exchanges. This allowed her to gain more faith, gratitude, and popularity, and what followed was a steady rise in divine power.

Even just creating the concept of "justice point exchange" has given "wealth" a new interpretation and made it successful.

Of course, providing this kind of service is equivalent to the direct connection between the priest and the gods. It is impossible without enough divine family and holy power, and basically only high-level priests can do it.

But when I just returned to our residence, I found that there was already a long line outside the tent, and at the front of the line, Betty was fulfilling the requirements of her priesthood and providing justice point exchange services for adventurers.

Silver brilliance converged in her pupils, and her old smile turned into an emotionless indifference and dullness. Beside her, there was a dark space like a black hole that could not distort the light.

"He" simply listened to the other party's request, erased the record of justice points in the wrist wheel, and then took out the finished product from the black hole and handed it to the other party. The speed was very fast, but there was no mistake.

Seeing this situation, I knew my worries were unnecessary. Betty alone was the necessary strategic element of the operation. As long as there is her hand. There is no need to worry about being squeezed out of our team.

So, I turned around and left, and walked out of the temporary residence alone.

In a sense, this is my bad habit. Even if there are professional scouts, I will investigate the situation by myself. It is true that I do not trust others, but it is this bad habit that will provoke criticism from others. It has saved my life several times.

But before leaving the gate of the village, I met a guy who looked a little familiar, who seemed to be called... what was his name?

"Kay... Kate?"

"It's Keith, Keith Ironon,"

It seems that at least my self-cultivation is not bad, and my smile didn't change at all when I was called by the wrong name.

"What's up?"

"I look forward to talking to you if I have time."

Obviously, this guy seemed to want to find out about me, but I was too lazy to flirt with him.

"No time. I'm just going out to investigate."

"Exactly, I also have this plan. Why don't we go together. Black Hurricane, come out."

Saying this, he activated the enchantment on the glove, and in the black smoke that suddenly rose, an all-black steed came out. It was at least a head taller than ordinary war horses, with red eyes and The bloodthirsty light shone on him, but it was slightly distorted.

"Nightmare war horse?"

This is a rare product. This kind of war horse has the blood of hell nightmare beast. It is far superior to ordinary war horses in terms of endurance and speed, and even has a little supernatural ability. Once it gallops at high speed, the distorted light can form a series of The phantom makes bows and arrows make mistakes, and its bloodthirsty nature makes it not afraid of any opponent. The most convenient thing is its nightmare blood, which can also be summoned at any time as a contracted beast, which is very convenient.

"Yes, our team got it by accident during our last adventure in Tressil, and it's so beautiful, isn't it?"

While stroking the horse's head and touching the other's neck affectionately, Case smiled at me. For some reason, this scene reminded me of a Beastmaster hunter who was deliberately forgotten but probably would jump out again soon. At least if he's here, I don't have to investigate it myself.

But seeing the scene where Case summoned the mount, I had to reassess the opponent's strength.

For knight professions, more than half of one's strength depends on the mount. Although this good horse does not have any powerful special abilities, twisting the bow is also an extremely useful ability, which can at least increase the combat power by more than 30%. Being able to get a mount that is priceless in the market also shows the strength of this magic knight.

I'm a little funny, this guy is actually showing off his abilities in front of me, it seems that he intends to overwhelm others, but he doesn't make people too disgusted when he does it.

"Okay, just keep up if you can. Irene Bella."

But strangely, the waved hand fell into the void, and my call was not answered.

"puff."

Not far away, the unstoppable sniggering of the magic knight made me a little embarrassed, but I was also a little puzzled. Although Irene Bella has been sleeping in my frozen soil recently to accumulate strength and prepare to advance, it is not enough to listen to it. Not to my call.

"Hmph, you haven't let me out to play recently, have you forgotten me?"

Well, I've been wandering around the city recently, and there really aren't many opportunities for her to play, so it's no wonder she complains.

"Sorry, I will remember to take you for a walk regularly in the future..."

Inexplicably, I remembered that I hadn't taken a walk for a while, and when Ah Bao was awkward, it was the same.

"No sincerity."

Isn't this forcing me to use my trump card? Do you think I don't know what you want?

"Strawberry ice, banana ice, ten servings..."

"One month, take care of yourself."

In a sense, since the "invention" of fruit-flavored shaved ice, ice ogres also have new hobbies, but apart from the taste of fruit shaved ice, what they really like is the coloring effect of fruit juice after entering the body. The poop-yellow ice dragon and the turquoise tortoise really test people's endurance, but the most unacceptable thing is that they even change their body shape and appearance to match the color, for example, the x-yellow lump is bigger than a house High x... Well, just thinking about it makes people uncomfortable, so let's not get too deep into it.

"Okay, deal, come out quickly, look at that kid who is snickering, my face is almost lost."

As soon as the voice fell, I floated into the sky, but at this time I was not on the saddle, but was held in the hand by a huge claw.

On the top of my head, there is a huge monster covering the clouds. It is a crystal clear ice dragon. Although it is somewhat similar to the bone dragon in appearance, it is more holy and powerful.

"The incarnation of the frost dragon? Irene Bella, have you advanced?"

"No, it's just recovered. Your world is simply a plane of ice elements. I can feel the comfort of home there."

"Home? Ice plane?"

I vaguely grasped something, but it was not the time to delve into it. After all, looking at the stunned magic knight below, I am afraid I have to think more about how to deal with it when I go back. (To be continued..)

ps: The state is indeed a bit bad recently. When the state recovers, let's add an update in the near future... ()
