Chapter 1548: The forces under Solam's command (ask for a monthly pass, ask for a subscription, ask for a monthly pass) ask for a monthly pass!
Just as Soram was rebuilding with peace of mind, the effects of Solam's return had begun to spread throughout the world.
First of all, Solam's return is undoubtedly a major incentive for Okasuan. Someone said that Soram never directly intervened in Okasuan's affairs, so is there any difference between his return and not returning to Okasuan?
But things can't be seen that way, so let's first look at some of the forces that Soram controls.
The first is, of course, the island of Okassu, which is always under the control of the Council of the Seven Saints and Violet, and everything seems to be going smoothly. But in reality, this is not the case, first of all, whether it is those human slaves or the indigenous white werewolves and lizardmen, they need a master.
This is very important, this is Faeron, not the world of Soram's previous life, the people here have no concept of freedom, and the people here need a master, a ruler. Even the former Am's empire, which was known as a republic, failed to achieve true democratic freedom, and Am's to put it bluntly was actually an aristocratic republic, where people were still loyal to the lord, but Am's relationship was more secretive.
The history of Faeron is very long, but in the long history, there has never been a real so-called so-called democratic freedom. Since the establishment of civilization by intelligent beings, Faeron has practiced feudal lordship. This is closely related to the cultural environment of Ferun itself.
There are so many dangers for a civilian in Fallon. People always say that Faeron is now the world of human beings, and human beings are the current masters of Faeron. But is that really the case?
Of course not, the true masters of the continent of Faeron will always be those fierce beasts and monsters in the wild. In Faeron, there are not many territories that humans can really fully control, and Ammu is still used as an example.
Amm has been in a highly developed area since the age of the elves, and in the era of humans, Amm has always been an important area for human settlements, and the traces of human activities here can even be traced back tens of thousands of years ago. But in such a highly developed civilized area, the territory that humans can really control is less than half of the land of Amn! The rest of the area is all wilderness and forest, and these areas are monster territory.
Elsewhere it is even worse, in Feren, the factor that controls the population is never the cause of food, in fact, due to the various supernatural abilities and the fertile land of Feren, there is rarely a reduction in food production, after all, there are many ways for spellcasters to ensure a good harvest.
It's monsters that really endanger humans, so why do adventurers always have a job? It's not because there are too many monsters, and even the emergence of the adventurer profession is because the official doesn't have the energy to destroy those monsters that are so numerous, that they will issue tasks for adventurers to help kill those monsters that endanger the safety of civilians.
All in all, since the continent is full of dangers. Ordinary people who have no strength must seek the protection of those who have it. This is also the reason why the aristocracy first appeared. So for millions of years, Faeron naturally formed such a consensus, people must seek a protector for themselves, a master!
This is not servility, but a projection of the needs of reality.
The same is true for the people on Okasuan, even if they are under the protection of the Council of the Seven Saints, there will be no real danger, but they still need a ruler, the Council of the Seven Saints is not a ruler, they are just people who assist the ruler, this point, the Council of the Seven Saints itself is on the lips, so those humans urgently need an object that they can truly be loyal to. The White Werewolves and Lizardmen are slightly better, but the problem is that they have known from a long, long time ago that they have a king to whom they must be allegiated.
It's good that the time is short, whether it is those humans, white werewolves and lizardmen, they can live a stable life under the rule of the Seven Holy Council, but after a long time, there will always be problems. It is a very big problem for a ruler not to appear in front of his subjects all the time.
The noble lords of the entire Faeron Continent basically choose a time every year to patrol their territory, so that the residents have a general understanding of the object of their allegiance, and strengthen the ruling authority through subtle ways to prevent the situation of rights being hollowed out. If a ruler does not show up for a long time, it will cause panic among the lower classes, after all, the lack of clarity of the ruler means chaos, and it will be those who are unlucky at that time.
Therefore, Solam's return is very important to the entire Okasuan, these days, Soram is still under the persuasion of Violet, openly appearing everywhere in Okasuan, although Soram is in a hurry every time, but it is still a huge incentive for the morale of the people on the island.
And the second force under Solam's command is the peripheral business organization represented by Nazaire. Nazaire is a good businessman, and in her hands, the Chamber of Commerce founded by Soram has developed very quickly, and in just a few years, this Chamber of Commerce organization has become one of the top business organizations on the West Coast of Feren.
But just as any organization that grows too quickly can have a negative effect, Solam's Chamber of Commerce has created a lot of problems. One of the biggest problems is that it has developed so quickly that Nazaire's authority simply cannot perfectly control the entire chamber of commerce. For example, Andrei, the former head of the Brown Bear Chamber of Commerce, who was in charge of trading between countries (his chamber of commerce was bought by Solam, and Andrei was also under Solam's subordinate), and Barry, who was in charge of shipping, were in a sense equal to Nazaire.
(Bally, a former captain of the ship, was later given to Soram as a slave by Lazag, the owner of the Colosseum in the Eastern End of Kalinshan, and later became the first mate on Solam's ship, and was later appointed captain by Soram to transport supplies from Ascatla to Okasuan)
In this way, three hills have appeared in Solam's Chamber of Commerce, and although there will be no split in the short term, the seedlings of this kind of factional strife have already appeared, which is normal, and there will be a struggle for someone. But none of them could suppress the three of them, and Violet, the only one who had the ability to suppress them, would not leave Okasuan at all, and if it continued like this, there would definitely be problems.
Now that Soram appears, these three people can't make waves at all, because Solam, as the master, has the ability to pinch the three of them to death!
And Solam's third force is Immanuel.
Immanuel's existence is peculiar, the region is governed by a coalition of dragonborns, brassbeard dwarves, and Tevrin, and is connected to the chambers of commerce run by Okasukan and Nazaire, but they are not very connected to each other, and are somewhat outside the system.
At the same time, Emmanuel is strong, he wants money and money, he wants people, he wants high-end combat power, he has high-end combat power, and he has the ability to be independent, and he doesn't need Birdazel and Viorette at all, they only obey Solam!
And now the return of Solam means that these three forces can finally be closely linked. Although this force is inconspicuous on the mainland now, once Solam appears on the mainland with this force, it will definitely shock the whole world!
