Chapter 211: Development

Sixty years is a very short period of time for the gods. But for mortals, it is an extremely long time, long enough for a family to reproduce for four generations, enough for a mortal to complete his short life.

The continent of Faeron, the West Hartland region, a wild place once filled with trolls, orcs, half-orcs, goblins, ogres and other savage monsters, has now become a rich land flowing with milk and honey.

Although Dugu Feng has been a mortal for less than thirty years, in this short mortal life, her path and her righteous deeds have still influenced and helped many people. Therefore, almost the same people who were officially canonized as gods in Dugufeng, following the induction of divine power, many of those who followed her and respected her converted to her and became her new believers.

The Baldur's Gate area, Dragon Spear Castle, as the last land where the Lord of Killing is located in the mortal world, is also the sacred place where she ignites the divine fire, and when Dugu Feng is officially canonized as a god and holds the authority to kill, it automatically becomes the holy place of the God of Killing.

Without Dugu Feng deliberately issuing an oracle, the believers of the Lord of Killing automatically gathered and spontaneously came to this land where the gods grew up in the mundane period from all over the continent, and carried out sacred pilgrimage rituals in the land of the Lord of Killing.

Of course, the policies and paths that Dugu Feng pursued in this land in the past have become part of the miracle of the Lord of Killing, and all the believers of the Lord of Killing follow and practice it.

Therefore, the land of West Hartland is one of the few places in the entire continent where there are no large-scale trolls, orcs, half-orcs and other barbarian monsters. Adventurers from all over the continent and followers of the Lord of Slaughter, and even many cultivators and warriors, would take the initiative to clear and clear the entire wilderness spontaneously or involuntarily.

Humanity's thirst for reproduction and survival is extremely strong, and after removing the wilderness monsters, the greatest threat to civilian pioneers, the entire West Hartland region has developed at an astonishing rate.

There is no shortage of arable land in West Hartland, a fertile plain land with two rivers running through the meandering and Oisa rivers. The ocean currents and sea breezes from Jianwan also bring a comfortable climate and abundant rainfall to this land.

Coupled with the fact that St. Druid Solomon healed the natural wounds of the entire Supreme Wasteland, solved all the magical and divine power pollution left in this land, and turned all the wilderness into a lush forest and grassland, which made the environment of West Hartland better than ever.

Nearly 100 years of land reclamation and reclamation have made the West Hartland region full of countless estates, farmlands, villages, towns, castles, and cities. The Oza and Meandering Rivers, which run through the entire West Hartland region, have become two extremely busy golden waterways, with a constant stream of sailing boats, day and night, carrying goods and passengers from the central mainland to the West Hartland region.

As a new kingdom, the Kingdom of West Hartland does not have a long history, and even at the beginning, the coronation of Archduke Anta * Silver Shield as king was just a united kingdom formed by various forces compromising with each other and following the trend of history.

At that time, the Kingdom of West Hartland itself was a loose federation of large and small city-states, nobles, lords, and free cities in the West Territory, and although King Anta * Silver Shield became the undisputed co-lord of West Hatland by virtue of the strong strength of the Baldur's Gate region that had been included in the control of the Silver Shield family, this loose federal system made the authority of the Anta Silver Shield family unstable.

However, with the success of Dugu Feng's godhood, he became the most important "Lord of Killing" in the kingdom in one fell swoop, but the Silver Shield family became a "holy family". With the backing of the gods, King Anta *Silvershield took this opportunity to quickly consolidate the foundation of power, and with the help of the long religious wars with the churches of Amm and Shirek, he continued to purge the team and eliminate dissidents, not only rapidly expanding the faith of the Lord of Slaughter, but also sweeping away the local separatist forces in one fell swoop, turning the entire Kingdom of West Hartland into a veritable powerful kingdom that was half-divided and half-centralized.

Now, King Anta & Silver Shield has long since passed away, and it is Princess Shiji who inherits the throne. Unlike the first king, Anta*Silvershield, who focused all his energy on eliminating dissidents and religious wars, Princess Shiki became queen and began to focus on the construction of the country.

Compared with the loose city-states of the past, the relatively centralized kingdom has a stronger mobilization capacity and national power. Under the guidance of Dugu Feng, after Shi Ji morning, the forces of the entire kingdom led to expand waterways, trade routes, canals, and factories.

In this world where a large number of supernatural forces exist, once the power of the entire king is integrated, it can completely burst out with a power no less than that of an industrial society. With the help of magic and magic, the Chongsa and Meandering Rivers that run through the whole of West Hartland have been widened and repaired, all the reef carpets that are not conducive to the waterways have been blown up and bulldozed, and canals have been built in some key places, opening up all the waterways and connecting them into a vast water transport network.

The entire West Hartland region is now accessible from the Baldur's Gate and up the meandering river, which can completely cross the entire green fields and the Sunset Mountains, and reach the Dragon Lake and the Falling Star Sea region in the southern part of the Cormier Kingdom. This golden waterway completely connects the transportation between the central part of the continent and the west coast, making it easier to trade in the central and western parts of the continent than ever before.

With such a convenient waterway, the entire hinterland of the Kingdom of West Hartland and the two river basins also prospered rapidly, and Baldur's Gate, as a hub for shipping and water transportation, surpassed Waterdeep and Winterfall in one fell swoop, becoming the most brilliant pearl on the West Coast.

Today's Baldur's Gate is barely visible as the dividing line of the city, and when viewed from the former meandering dragon bridge across the river, there are countless high-rise buildings, workshops with huge chimneys, and many more warehouses, warehouses, boats, and vehicles. It's a standard industrialized city, full of steampunk-inspired machinery, workshops, and buildings under the power of magic and industry.

Although the city is owned by the Holy Family of the Lord of Killing, and the Killing Temple under Baldur's Gate is also the main temple of the largest Killing Church on the mainland, due to the nature of the Killing Priesthood, in fact, the most worshipped by the city's civilians are Woking, the goddess of wealth, and Gunde, the god of craft.

"The era of primitive accumulation of capital, the conspiracy and killing in the shadow of society, far exceed the pastoral age!"

Dugu Feng, who lives in the kingdom of God, has set her sights on this city where she has single-handedly guided its development. Without a special search, the sense of intrigue and murder-related priesthood allowed her to clearly see every conspiracy, every murder, every fraud, every evil in the city......

In room after room, politicians and conspirators are conspiring one conspiracy after another; In one feast after another, merchants and nobles made one contract after another and an agreement in the midst of deceit; In one dark alley after another, one battle after another is going on quietly. In one busy factory after another, one worker after another died of overwork in numbness......

The progress of industry and the development of civilization have not only brought prosperity and glory, but also the shadow and sin of civilization.

After Dugu Feng killed Ciric and accepted all his priesthoods, he had completely replaced Ciric and became one of the important gods of the underworld. Killing, murder, conspiracy, lies, these priesthoods are almost inseparable from the dark side of this world. Thieves, assassins, politicians, killers, adventurers, conspirators, and many more, many people living in the dark world bring a huge faith to the masters of killing and intrigue.

Regardless of Dugufeng's own inclinations, as the master of killing and conspiracy, she must assume the corresponding beliefs of the priesthood.

If it is an ordinary god, in the face of the impact of such a huge dark world believer's faith, under the subtlety, it will inevitably slide into the evil camp.

However, Dugufeng is not like this at all, the Tao is not biased, and there is no good or evil in his heart. Although Dugufeng can't be as objective and fair as the heavens, and has no partiality, it is a very simple thing to divide and drive it.

Dugufeng did not establish a unified church in the world, but borrowed the concept of Taoism from the Oriental Immortal Dao, preaching the Tao to the world and spreading the Dharma to others, so that believers can establish different "sects" and organizations according to their own understanding and practice!

Because of the nature of the killing priesthood, Dugu Feng is committed to building his believers and the church into a "river and lake", that is, a model in which groups of believers with similar ideas and professions form the same sect and fight and cooperate with other sects.

For example, the Dragon Spear Castle, the holy place of Dugu Feng's gods, inherited the martial arts concept she spread, and brought together many martial artists and practitioners on the mainland who pursued combat and killing skills, and was a more pure and neutral martial arts and swordsmanship holy land, whose members were mainly martial artists and ascetics.

The underground temple of Baldur's Gate is home to the League of Assassins, the Thieves' Guild, and other organizations in the dark world, where fanatical believers are constantly plotting to unleash plots and killings on the continent to please their gods. Moreover, because of Dugufeng's subtle influence, these guys who are always ready to make some big news have become highly organized and orderly, and have become an organization specializing in terror and killing activities across the continent, and its destructive power and lethality are more terrifying than the originally scattered dark organizations. Thus being regarded as a great threat to the new era by the good forces of the entire continent.
