Chapter 412: Where the Gods Fall
Starry World.
On the huge take-off and landing field adjacent to the edge of the mountain range, a caravan of thirty-five large magical energy transports was landing in turn, and then parked in the designated area under the guidance of the ground mage group.
An old man with well-dressed clothes and wise eyes walked out of the hatch surrounded by his entourage, went down the escalator to the ground, and looked around, the square was full of different specifications and different types of magic energy transport ships, among which it was not uncommon for big guys with a body length of more than two hundred meters.
"It's a nice place!"
Hoffman said in a slightly emotional voice, and the attachés understood what this chamber of commerce leader meant, and there were very good business opportunities here, which could make the chamber of commerce reap huge profits.
And there are not only one or two people who hold the same opinion, on the many magic energy transport ships on the take-off and landing field, they found more than ten kinds of complex and exquisite emblems, all of which are from the well-known chambers of commerce on the mainland, especially the magic energy transport ships of several slave chambers of commerce, which have a large number of them, and the hull is also extraordinarily large, all of which are specially modified ships that can transport a large number of slaves over long distances.
"My lord, judging from the size of the fleet here, the scale of the foreign trade of the Xingshan Principality is not small! I'm afraid that even those wealthy middle kingdoms can't compare. A confidant attaché said.
The entry and circulation of a large amount of materials is obvious to the speed of the increase in the strength of the principality, and according to the information obtained in the past, the staff around Hoffman will not treat this nascent regime as an ordinary principality at all.
Just last month, the Duchy's army underwent another round of expansion, more than doubling its territory to nearly half a million square kilometers.
"That's true,"
Hoffman bowed his head and said: "It can be seen that His Royal Highness the Grand Duke is not an ordinary person, maybe it won't be long before the Duchy will be upgraded to a kingdom, and it is not impossible to become an empire in the future." ”
The attachés were deeply impressed, but there was still humanity: "Having said that, the northeast of the continent has a harsh climate and environment, and it is sparsely populated, even if such a bitter cold land gives birth to an empire, how much impact can it have on the situation of the entire continent?" ”
"You can't say that,"
Hoffman shook his head and said, "None of the founding lords are simple characters, let alone the heroes who can build empires?" I heard that this highness is still very young, and he already has the strength of a senior legend, and his long life will give him enough time to expand his territory. ”
Everyone showed a thoughtful look, the characters who can establish a country on their own at a young age must be favored by fate, and it is really difficult to make a conclusion about how far they can go in the future.
The greeting team sent by the principality is quite high-standard, the leader of the team is actually a legendary powerhouse, accompanied by four holy domains, the two hundred knights of the principality who serve as the honor guard all have the strength of no less than ten levels, and the armor and weapons on the body are extremely sophisticated, glowing with a faint magical brilliance, obviously all belong to the enchanted equipment, and the war horses are tall and divine horses, all of which are excellent breeds purchased in bulk from those countries that are rich in horses.
Hoffman exchanged a few polite greetings with the other party, and then boarded the carriage together and rushed to the palace to meet Qin Feng.
The wide streets are neat and crisp, two rows of magic lampposts that look like samurai sculptures stand on the roadside, there is hardly any garbage to be seen, and most of the pedestrians passing by are good-looking, cleanly dressed, and there are very few yellow-skinned, ragged civilians, and occasionally you can see groups of patrol guards passing by, and they are also very well equipped.
On both sides of the street are all kinds of shops, high, medium and low-end, which are full of goods, including many specialties from northern Xinjiang and many luxury goods transported from the central part of the mainland.
Peaceful, methodical, and orderly, that's his impression of the place.
"A new regime with imperial potential......"
The high-ranking person of the Chamber of Commerce remained unchanged, but his sharp eyes kept patrolling all the time, and for a person with a brain, a lot of very valuable information could be derived just by observing these inconspicuous details.
Similar scenes, he can only be seen in the prosperous cities of those big empires, and the Principality of Xingshan is only a regime that has only been established for a short time, and it can actually have such an atmosphere, which shows that the ability of the Principality to govern the country is quite not bad.
It seems that it is a very wise move for the top management of the Chamber of Commerce to send themselves and bring a large number of goods to do business with the Principality of Xingshan, not only to ensure profits, but also to establish a relationship with this new regime as soon as possible.
Hoffman thought to himself, maybe he might as well open the conditions more generously, and the young male master who can have such abilities. It is already worth paying some price for the chamber of commerce organization to make friends.
After a while, the group of chambers of commerce finally met Qin Feng in the palace, a powerhouse with an extraordinary reputation.
Looking at the handsome young man on the throne with a long and majestic body and a powerful breath, Hoffman sighed secretly, he could have the strength of a level 25 legendary mage at such an age, and it was completely possible to become a demigod in his lifetime, and under the reality that it was difficult for the gods to directly intervene in the political pattern of the world, the demigod was already the peak force on the continent.
He cleaned up his mood and said: "Your Royal Highness, our Dragon Oak Chamber of Commerce has brought you 20,000 tons of high-quality grain, 3,000 tons of meat, and 1,000 tons of medicinal materials, as well as kerosene, cloth, fine iron, spices, etc., and is willing to sell them to you at a 20% discount, hoping that our cooperation and friendship can continue for a long time." ”
"Then thank you for your kindness, we are willing to maintain a long-term trade cooperation relationship with you,"
Qin Feng said warmly: "The new establishment of the principality has a great demand for all kinds of resources, as long as you are interested, you can get more orders in the future." ”
Hoffman was waiting for this sentence, and immediately smiled: "Of course, this is our honor." ”
As a well-known chamber of commerce organization in the mainland, it naturally hopes that the business will get bigger and better, as long as the profit is guaranteed, the more orders from the principality, the happier they will be.
These chambers of commerce have a long history and a large scale, and of course the business scope will also be focused, such as this Silver Oak Chamber of Commerce, which is mainly engaged in food business. Not only is there a vast area of grain production in the southern part of the continent, but grain is also resold between different continents. There are unconfirmed rumors that many of the Centaur tribes and dwarven empires underground have purchased food from this chamber of commerce.
"I heard that there is Mithril produced in your country, and it is better to settle the payment with Mithril in the future, what does Your Highness think?" Finally, Hoffman tentatively proposed.
Qin Feng glanced at him deeply, and said, "Of course you can." ”
Since he had paid for his purchases with Mithril on more than one occasion, the higher-ups of the Chamber of Commerce began to suspect the existence of Mithril Mines in the Duchy, or in the Black Frost Rock Mountains, otherwise it was not enough to explain the unusually large financial resources of the new regime, although it was not clear where the Mithril Mines were located and how much they produced.
Of course, Qin Feng didn't care much, if someone dared to sneak into the depths of the mountain range to find out the news, he would definitely find nothing, and maybe he would have to throw away his life.
In the end, he held a banquet in the palace to entertain the high-ranking members of these chambers of commerce, and the guests and hosts dispersed happily.
In the secret room, Phantom Ling is sorting out a lot of news from the newly formed intelligence spy system. Since he was promoted to the Holy Domain, Qin Feng handed over this errand to her to take care of, and after a period of time, he has done a good job.
“…… The situation in the Red Snow Valley has been roughly determined, and it is one of the secret strongholds of the Church of the God of Shadows and Killing, and it is rumored that after the fall of this god, its incarnation once resided here for the last time, and there are many treasures hidden here by its fanatical followers, as the capital for its resurrection in the future. A subordinate reported cautiously.
The Red Snow Valley is a strange area near the Black Frost Rock Mountains, a special area that cannot be seen clearly on satellites. Now, with the expansion of the Duchy, the area is very close to the Duchy's borders, and the army guarding the border has clashed with some suspicious free adventurers.
Huanling pondered for a while, then motioned for her subordinate to go back and rest, and she brought the information to find Qin Feng.
A moment later, in the study.
"This news is not too confidential now, is it?"
Qin Feng stared at the magic map and muttered, "Those free adventurers are probably going for the treasures in the valley, and there must be many remnants of the church in them. ”
The god of shadow and killing, Mokotor, for unspeakable reasons hundreds of years ago, clashed with the gods of the god of war, and the two sides broke out a god war that lasted for more than a hundred years, and finally Mokotor was defeated, the kingdom of God was shattered, the priesthood was deprived, and he fell in gloom, less than five hundred years ago.
However, Mokotor is an old and powerful god, and he has every chance to be warned of fate in advance, and has made a series of arrangements for this to prepare for his future resurrection.
In the past, there are many precedents of fallen gods rekindling the divine fire and successfully returning to the heavenly vault for various reasons.
Therefore, in today's Xingmeng Continent, the believers of the God of Shadow and Killing still exist, and there are still a lot of them, and they are actively running in the dark under the banner of resurrecting the gods, and a lot of things have happened.
"What is the master going to do?" Phantom Ling asked.
"Now that you know the secrets of this place, you have to go and see it to rest assured." Qin Feng said.
In any case, he could not allow such an unstable factor to exist in his own land, otherwise if there was any hope of resurrection of this bloodthirsty god, it would immediately pose a mortal threat to the survival of the principality's power.
Qin Feng's goal is to gather the power of the faith of all the people and prepare for himself to ignite the divine fire, if a resurrected god suddenly appears, it may ruin his plan in a minute.
Therefore, from his standpoint, the best thing to do is to send out a large army, kill all the believers in that valley, and then destroy it completely.
