On the way to the camp, the priest of the goddess of fortune had been watching the place.

These women of wealth have a keen sense of discernment, especially when it comes to wealth and business opportunities. Not much is known about Lady Fortune Sauron, as she is usually a very low-key deity, and even the new Lady of Fortune replacing the old Lady of Fortune is only discovered hundreds of years later. The reason for the discovery was that the Lady of Fortune was promoted from a weak divine power to a medium divine power, and at the same time, the priesthood she originally mastered was changed to a different position.

In the past, the Lady of Fortune was the 'God of Trade and Wealth', and now the Lady of Fortune is the 'God of Wealth and Trade'.

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

The Fortune Lady, who used to use [trade] as the core priesthood, has quite a lot of fluctuations in her divine power, and once the war spreads to trade, her power begins to be affected, because in that case, there is basically no way to trade, and naturally there is no way to improve the divine power she has obtained. However, with Fortune as the Lady's core priesthood, her divine power gradually stabilized, and since the Temple of Wealth became a bank-like depository, she maintained her powerful divine power almost all the time, and also got involved in the realm of [protection] money.

Wealth, trade, money, and protection!

This new successor Lady of Fortune 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 Fortune has become a first-class force in the continent, occupying an important position in the game of the Church of the Gods.

………………

When he first heard about this knowledge, Sauron was also quite surprised!

Because he didn't think that just by changing the position of the priesthood, he would be able to make such a big change, allowing a god who was already about to weaken to rush into a realm close to powerful divine power in one go. If it weren't for the fact that Lady Fortune was still very strong in her control of trade, and because the lack of development of trade on the mainland affected her divine power, I am afraid that she would most likely become the first god to enter the [Powerful Divine Power] in hundreds of years.

Rows of neat brick houses.

Straight drainage ditches.

The streets are lined with simple and straightforward shops, pubs and blacksmith shops. There are also purpose-built public toilets, which don't have the sordid mess of other towns, and there is not even much garbage to be seen on the roads.

The qiē here is so clean and tidy that others even assume that Sauron has a slight habit of cleanliness!

"Your Excellency, I am really surprised!"

The bejeweled lady pastor looked around, her expression couldn't help but show a thoughtful look, and she said slowly: "This place is full of life and vitality, and that is the breath of wealth gathering. ”

Such a town.

As long as there is a stable order, it will soon attract many businessmen.

Overseas trade was now in the hands of Sauron, and the port of Taylor and the town being built in front of him were two points, strangled the front and back directions of the overseas shipping routes. As long as Sauron is willing to let go a little, he can attract a large number of adventurous merchants. And trade is exactly what Lady Fortune needs, which can expand her faith and strengthen her power, the weakening of Fortune City has temporarily affected trade, and there is no way to recover from the chaos that happened in front of her in a short time.

That's why she's here!

"Please!"

Sauron raised his hand in an inviting gesture before turning and entering the hall.

Just as the priest of Lady Fortune sat down, Golia, dressed in a black witch's robe, appeared in the hall, glanced at Sauron, and then nodded slightly.

"Lord Witch!"

The priest of Lady Fortune stood up and bowed slightly towards Goliath in respect. As a representative from the Church of Fortune, she is well aware of Golia's identity and status, as well as her influence within the Council of Witches. She even knew that Goliath had been promoted and rewarded by the Council of Witches for touching the realm of the Legendary Witches.

Goliath smiled and nodded in response. Reaching out and making a gesture of invitation, it was as if she were the hostess here.

She smiled, "Welcome to the messenger of the Lady of Fortune, your presence has made this place flourish." ”

Everyone sat down.

The priest of Lady Fortune glanced at the others, got up and smiled, "Just call me Kim." In fact, I did bring the kindness of the Lady of Fortune with me. ”

Gold?

Very strange monophonic name.

The priest named 'Kim' in front of him 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's vision is very unique! However, to develop an overseas archipelago that is too remote, it will require considerable human and financial resources. As far as I know. Although Your Excellency has a close relationship with the Sea Temple, they have not provided any help, but on the contrary, a large part of your trade from the overseas islands has to be handed over to them. ”

Dressed in jewels, Jin smiled slightly, her rather delicate face was full of confidence, she took out a card with golden light flowing, and said sternly: "This is a gold card of the divine power of the Temple of Wealth, as long as you hold it, you can withdraw 100,000 Jindeler from any Temple of Wealth on the mainland at any time!" ”

She handed the gold card to Sauron and smiled confidently, "This is just a gift from us to Your Excellency. ”

"Please don't say no!"

"This gift is not in our next deal, whether we can work together or not, this gift is just a representation of our hearts. And express our gratitude to Your Excellency for re-enacting the rules of the South Coast and bringing trade back to normal order! ”

100,000 Jindeler !!

At this moment, it was not only Sauron, but even Goliath next to him was surprised.

With Sauron's experience, it's not that he hasn't seen people with deep pockets, and he has been in contact with a lot of palaces, royal families, churches of gods, etc., but it's the first time he's seen it when he can give 100,000 Jindler so easily!

The Church of Wealth is indeed wealthy!

The 100,000 Jindler smashed down, and even Sauron couldn't help but breathe a little heavier, and then smiled and reached out to take it.

Don't take it for nothing.

He never had too much money in his hand, and since she had already said that it was a free gift, Sauron would naturally eat it first.

Seeing Sauron accept the Divine Power Gold Card, a satisfied smile appeared on the corner of Lady Fortune's mouth, and at the same time, her expression became more and more proud.

Wealth Church is so confident!

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

Jin lifted his finger and spun around the ruby ring on his index finger. Then she gave a look to one of the servants beside her, and then someone handed a document to Sauron, and she said quite confidently, "The Church of Fortune has the most powerful power on the South Coast!" If you want to build this place, you can afford it! At the same time, the Church of Fortune also controls the largest and largest minerals 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 compared to the Ocean Temple, which will only extract value from you, we can provide you with more!"

"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 for us to develop believers for the goddess."

Kim looked at Sauron with some smugness, believing that she had offered a generous offer that would make him agree.

But what she never expected was that. After Sauron glanced at the paperwork, he said in a resolute tone, "I'm sorry! I'm afraid I can't agree to this condition! ”

The conditions are actually quite good.

The Church of Fortune provided Sauron with funds, manpower, and materials, and demanded only the release of the city's permissions, giving them free trade rights in the overseas islands, and allowing them to develop their faith and build temples. For Sauron, who had only just completed his embryonic form, having the support of the Temple of Fortune was not intended to greatly speed up the construction process, but it was also quite dangerous for him to do so.

Because of the Ocean Church!

Moreover, after hearing the conditions, Golia was also silent on the surface. Secretly responded to Sauron with inspiration: "I can't agree! The camp is connected to the shadow plane, and we can't let the other forces know about the existence of the wizard tower! ”

Yes.

Hearing Goliath's words, Sauron suddenly woke up.

The value of that wizard tower is immeasurable, and it must not be known to other forces. So no matter how good the conditions of the Temple of Fortune were, he couldn't agree to it.

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

Moreover, he relied on the Ocean Church behind him. Now that the temple of the Ocean Church has not yet been settled, let the temple of the Lady of Fortune enter first, with the temper of the sea goddess with a small belly and chicken intestines. I don't know if I know that I'll settle accounts with Sauron.

Kim's face was full of consternation, she didn't expect Sauron to refuse so firmly.

Sauron was also embarrassed to get into too much trouble with the Church of Wealth, not to mention that they had just given him 100,000 Jindel, so after pondering for a moment, he said slowly, "But as a matter of my kindness, I am willing to open up some of the free trade permissions to the Temple of Wealth." As for the rest, I'm afraid I'll have to ask the Ocean Temple what it means! ”

Temple of the Sea.

Jin couldn't help frowning when she heard this, she came here because she learned that the Ocean Temple's influence on Sauron was far from that great, and if she asked the Ocean Temple, it was basically impossible to agree, because the Ocean Temple also needed faith. It has not yet been developed, and once it becomes a depository similar to the port of Taylor, the Sea Temple will immediately send a priest to settle in. At that time, how could the Church of Wealth be allowed to enter, although the power of the gods was complicated, but the establishment of the temple was a turnip and a pit.

When the temple is laid, the foundation is laid.

You see, the Ocean Church and the Storm Church on the Port of Taylor have fought countless battles openly and secretly, but in the end, they still have 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 gods standing behind them have not fallen, who has the ability to pull out a temple with divine power in the end?

The Battle of Amber City that year.

So many legendary challenge level horror knights have not been able to capture any temple lightly, which shows how powerful the temple's protective ability is.

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

Even, if possible, he would keep the power of the Ocean Temple out of the periphery, which is why he kept planning to expand the port, and there were too many important secrets in the camp.

"This! ……”

Kim's expression was a little stunned and disappointed, but she didn't have the idea of giving up, because coming here was her mission, and failing to complete the task meant that the temple's evaluation of her would be lower.

A smile tugged at the corner of Golia's mouth. Secretly responded to Sauron with inspiration: "Stabilize her." She also has an important use, and we can use her as a weight to make a request to the Temple of the Sea! ”

Eat it all at both ends?

Sauron was stunned for a moment, then thoughtful, and couldn't help but turn his head and look at Golia in surprise.

This woman's politics are sharp and high.

In the face of Sauron's surprised gaze, Goliath smiled indifferently, then raised her hand and gently stroked the long hair of her earlobe, and glanced at him with her eyes fluttering.

Thereupon.

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

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

"Actually."

"I'm about to sell some of the land there, and although it's a little more expensive, I think your eyes should be able to see the potential of those lands."

A very clever answer.

Lady Fortune's priest was thoughtful when she heard this, and then she looked at Sauron deeply and played, "That's nature. ”

"Okay. I will remain here and await 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 a part of the land.

This is very meaningful!

In Kim's opinion, Sauron was undoubtedly still 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 Wealth, and he didn't want to give up such a powerful help. That's why there is such a euphemistic answer. If he is willing to sell the land near the port, then the ownership of the land goes to the Temple of Fortune. Even if it is not possible to build a temple openly, it is possible to serve as a base for the Church of Fortune to develop its faith.

As for whether he can build a temple here in the end to strengthen the faith, it is obvious that he wants to see the strength of the two churches collide.

A very cunning and treacherous man!

He wanted to swallow the good from both churches. However, they did not want to get involved in the battle of faith between the two churches.

A piece of land.

King looked at the topography of the port, it was a very superior natural port, and if it developed into a place like the port of Taylor, then the port would undoubtedly be the most prosperous place with the most people. Flotillas of ships coming and going will fill the entire port. On the contrary, the camp here is surrounded by mountains on both sides because it is built inside. It's close to the tropical jungle on one side and a little far from the port, so it's not very advantageous geographically. However, the terrain here is quite open and can be used to cultivate farmland, and she saw a lot of farmland when she came.

I thought so in my heart.

Jin couldn't help but have a little contempt for Sauron, after all, he was just a pirate leader with little business acumen, and he only cared about what was dug out of that little land, and he didn't realize that the greatest wealth here was trade.

If she were to build here, the city would definitely be close to the coastal port, and it would be directly established as a port city!

Right now.

If the port is developed, it is equivalent to the layout of two cities, even if the distance is relatively close, but in the end it is not connected, with the strong strength of the Temple of Wealth, it may not be impossible to encroach on the port little by little. If the port is swallowed and the core area of trade is occupied, then the value of this city will be much lower.

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

Now.

The most important thing is to confront the Ocean Temple, if you can't collide head-on, you can only give up some of your benefits to each other, and strive to let each other get what they need.

It's a terrible thing to have two powerful churches of gods to clash!

………………

A group of believers from the Lady of Fortune were quickly settled.

As Kim left the hall, she couldn't help but see some drow warriors, which surprised her quite a bit, and turned to take a deep look at Sauron.

Drow Elf!

These creatures are quite difficult to deal with, and they seem to be the pirate's subordinates?

Maybe I thought too much of him.

The group was settled near the South Gate by Sauron, and at the same time secretly sent people to keep an eye on them, preventing them from moving around the camp at will. Goliath also quietly set up a warning circle, sealing off the area connecting to the shadow plane, and the portal has not yet been completely secured. If the portal is secured, the shadow rifts will concentrate, and the rest of the camp will not be able to enter the shadow plane. The port is being developed, and when the time is right, they will be settled near the port.

"This could be an opportunity!"

After Gloria waited for Priest Fortune and his party to leave, she immediately came to Sauron's front and said in a condensed voice, "The kindness from Lady Fortune will make the Ocean Temple full of a sense of crisis!" This can win us more benefits! ”

"I know." Sauron nodded slightly.

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

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