Chapter 178: The Ice Moon Priest's Methods

According to what Gillentina had learned from the improvised priest before last year's breakout, he was a priest who had been sent out of the Lunar Temple. He also said that in recent years, young priests of the High Shrine have been sent out to add to their experiences through adventures or tours.

After the bulk last year, Gillentina asked the mercenary guild before she really learned that it was because of the Ice Moon Priest.

In the last few years, since the Ice Moon Priest officially took control of the Moon Temple, the entire elven race and the Moon Temple have undergone very obvious changes, both diplomatically and in governance. Even Gillentina, who didn't pay much attention to the situation in the Elven Kingdom, heard about this change.

It is said that more than 10 years ago, the Ice Moon Priest had a secret conversation with Sheng Hui 50, the emperor of the Shenghui Empire, before returning to the Brilliant City to continue his work as a teacher. This secret conversation is very mysterious, except for the 50th generation of the human Fang Shenghui, the Rock Battle Saint Rick Saint Lyle, the Elven Ice Moon Sage Drew Saint Maple, the old monster Hawk Saint Moonlight of the City of Life Library, and the Elven King Kasha. This well-known but mysterious secret conversation lasted for more than a month before it ended in the laughter of the big guys.

After that, the Ice Moon Priest began to show his amazing political skills.

First of all, the Shenghui Empire and the Elven Kingdom fully opened their borders to each other, and for the sake of this alliance, the monarchs of both sides signed a Father's contract with their respective bloodlines as an oath. After that, the two sides jointly stated that except for the joint security forces of the Shenghui Empire and the Elven Kingdom, the two sides would not place any force on the border, and through the joint security forces, they would impose the strictest sanctions on any forces that hindered the friendship between the two sides. If necessary, both sides will invest their own Guardians to maintain friendship!

What does it mean to fully open our borders? It means that any transaction between two parties is completely free of tolls, transit taxes, etc.! This means that the citizens of both sides can walk freely in each other's country after going through some procedures in their respective countries! This system is a huge boon to the businessmen of the two countries that they could not have imagined before! They don't have to pay any other than the commercial tax to both kingdoms, which means that they may save more money later than they would do with each other's domestic trade! So far, except for the dwarves, it seems that no race or power has enjoyed such exaggerated treatment.

Don't underestimate any costs incurred in crossing or crossing the border. Often, the goods of humans and elves are extremely expensive on their own turf, and it is because of this messy charges. Often, the price of magical items produced by the elves will soar to at least 5 times after they arrive in the human kingdom, and various tools from humans will also increase in price by about 5 times in the elven kingdom. This phenomenon is caused not only by the greed of the merchants themselves, but also by the staggering variety of expenses on the road.

After the release of this life, the merchants of the entire Shenghui Empire began to go crazy, and both large chambers of commerce and small traders began to move towards the elven kingdom in an attempt to seize this rare opportunity. The diplomatic department of the Shenghui Empire that signed the business license of the Elf Kingdom was harassed over and over again by this group of crazy merchants, and at this time, the one who took the lead would be the biggest winner, and in order to get the business license before others, this group of businessmen worked hard at the door of the diplomatic department every day.

Of course, there are also some bold businessmen who try to "manifest themselves through the realm", but in the face of the rapid formation of a group of murderous joint security forces and the high pressure of mythical species that travel to and from the border all year round, these "powerful people" quickly become the best businessmen.

The benefits of opening the borders are enormous, and you can understand it just by looking at the smiles that the kings, prime ministers, and finance ministers of the Shenghui Empire and the Elven Kingdom have dreamed of in the past two years. The seemingly pitiful amount of commercial taxes brought unimaginably huge wealth to the two countries! This was vividly demonstrated in the war between the Shenghui Empire and the Cagro Empire! Many generals once predicted that even if the two Earls of Evil Wolf did not go crazy, it would definitely be the Shenghui Empire that would win the war in the end, because the ability of that amazing wealth to provide materials in the war was too amazing.

Second, the Ice Moon Priest built a new city on the elven side of the Seximes of the Shenghui Empire.

This elven city, named the City of Friendship, is completely a city of central drives, according to the Ice Moon priestess, and is the largest link between the Shenghui Empire and the Elven Kingdom. In addition to residential areas, there are various large and small commercial areas, special food areas, art exhibition areas and entertainment venues in this city, which is completely a place for businessmen to sell goods, rest, consume and relax.

This city, which has just been completed for less than 10 years, has now formed the most prosperous commercial corridor between the Shenghui Empire and the Elven Kingdom together with the Sexime City of the Shenghui Empire. These two cities have become the cities with the highest concentration of mercenaries in recent years, and they have also become the cities with the most merchants in recent years. When the city was established, whether it was Sheng Hui 50th or the elven king Kasha, it was said that they all straightened their backs, and their tone of voice was many times harder than before! Of course, the ownership of these two cities belongs to the royal families of both sides.

Thirdly, the Ice Moon Priest organized a group of luxurious mages composed of elves and human earth magicians above the golden rank to build roads in the Shenghui Empire and the Elven Kingdom.

In the past 10 years, there have been beautiful and spacious roads in the Shenghui Empire and between the major cities and important places in the Elven Kingdom. The Ice Moon Priest paved a wide road between the City of Friendship and the City of Sexime, which could accommodate 10 carriages in parallel, and because this road was too wide and bright, the merchants chose to use this road to go to the Elven Kingdom or return to the Shenghui Empire.

The road surface that has been carefully compacted by the earth magicians is not afraid of wind and rain at all, and the two sides will organize the earth magicians to add some hardening magic to the road surface every year to prevent the road surface from being damaged. Even in the event of a natural disaster, these highly protected roads will not be easily disconnected. Of course, such a painstaking effort to make something is not something to be seen. Whether it is the Elven Kingdom or the Shenghui Empire, the logistics situation within the Shenghui Empire has increased by more than 3 times after these roads are paved, and the most typical example is that the current international student team from the City of Life can reach the Brilliant City in about 2 months.

Many countries have expressed their incomprehension of the actions of this Ice Moon Priest, but they only know that the Elven Kingdom and the Shenghui Empire, which have made a fortune in silence, do not want to ask questions from other countries except for scolding this priest every year when repairing the road. It wasn't until a genius of the Cagro Empire calculated the benefits of these paths in terms of efficiency a few years ago and announced them that other countries began to follow suit of the Shenghui Empire and the Elven Kingdom.

At this time, it began to circulate, and I don't know where it came from, and the words from that Bingyue himself became the truth in the Ella Continent.

"To develop, build roads first!"

Fourth, and something that is closely related to adventuring groups and mercenary groups like Gillentina and them - the priest is devolved.

I don't know what went crazy, after the end of the great war between the Shenghui Empire and the Kagro Empire, this Ice Moon Priest summoned the other 3 priests of the 4 Supreme Temples, and discussed some more things with them in the Moon Temple of the City of Life. There didn't seem to be any secrecy added to the conversation this time, and the words of the Ice Moon Priest were passed down.

"From what I've observed, our pastors, especially some of the younger ones, are a little too pampered. Except for those guys who have taken the initiative to go out and wander for a few years, the others are not to mention on the battlefield, even if they are standing in the rear ward, they don't even know the most basic common sense such as judging the condition, the timing of using healing techniques, the choice of using divine arts, and the saving of divine power! A few days ago I saw a small priest sent out by our Moon Temple in the City of Splendor desperately trying to heal a wound with a misplaced bone. The flesh injury is not so big and can be completely healed by the treatment, but don't forget that this person's bones have broken and misaligned! Is she trying to make the patient disabled for the rest of her life? ”

"Don't just joke about it, I bet a few of your subordinates must have this kind of funny guy too! Since 1,000 years ago, the education methods of our several Supreme Temples have hardly changed, and they are all staying in the temples to practice various divine arts, so I dare to assert that there must be quite a few little ones who are completely out of touch with practice and theory! And we will not let the priests leave the temple unless they are voluntary, so as to protect the increasingly noble priests. This kind of education is fine when nothing happens, and we can continue to raise priests in such a foolish way, but I don't think this kind of otaku will be able to exert their due strength in the upcoming chaos in the future! ”

"Don't forget, there's one more son of the Plane in the Abyss! The Abyss's invasion of the continent of Ella is only a matter of time. Is it really okay for a group of priests who feel they should play their most role in the Abyssal Invasion? ”

"While pastors are valuable, I would suggest that it is better to let these young people go out and see the world. This is something I've recently investigated, and you can see that the priests who have been wandering around for a few years have improved faster and are more skilled in using magic than other priests who have been in the temple at the same level. ”

After this tirade, the chief priests of the other three supreme gods did not know how many times their hearts had sudden. And when they saw the data handed out by the Ice Moon Priest, they began to break out in a cold sweat, and after each returned to the temple for further investigation, they sent a message of agreement to the Moon Temple very tacitly - to throw a group of imps who currently lack even the most basic common sense to the Ella continent to suffer.

For a while, the number of priests walking on the continent of Ella suddenly increased several times, and although Gillentina didn't like the Ice Moon Priest very much for some reason, she was very lucky enough to thank the Ice Moon Priest when she kidnapped a Moon Temple Priest to her own adventure team.

Of course, the Ice Moon Priest did a lot, such as strengthening the cooperation with the Academy of the Brilliant City, increasing trade with the Dwarf Kingdom, and opening trade with the Orc Empire. But compared to the previous few things, Gillentina didn't know much about these things, and it wouldn't affect her too much, so she didn't know any further.
