Chapter 773: The Holy Spirit (I)

Meng walked along the road.

This is not a private interview with Weifu, but just a first-hand experience.

According to Nick's data, after the influx of 1,000 druids in Yuanfan Harbor, almost all the inns were full, and consumption more than doubled.

Stimulated by this, more businessmen also flocked to it.

Due to the establishment of the Great Temple of the Goddess of Commerce, many merchants also applied for citizenship, and now the number of citizens has increased to more than 9,000, and the temporary influx of various groups of people is also 100,000, and the population of the whole city has reached 20,000 during the day and 10,000 at night.

Plus the establishment of the approved Adventurers' Union. Now, the Mage Tower, the Chamber of Commerce, and the Adventurer's Guild are all complete. Romone, who was dressed in a wide robe, looked up.

Although the sewers were built after strict planning, the garbage of this era was also decomposable garbage, which basically rotted when washed into the underground tunnels, and there were usually cleaners.

But at this time, it still seems to be busy and chaotic, mainly all kinds of temporary stalls, crowding the originally very wide street to look narrow.

The smell is not good, although the horse manure is cleaned from time to time, the smell persists for a long time, plus the smell of sweat and some rot, Luo Meng frowned.

Although on the earth, he is an ordinary college student, and he was also an ordinary townsman in his early years, but he has been a social aristocratic class for so many years, and he is also a little uncomfortable.

"Do you want to ban these unlicensed stalls...... Forget it, it's not easy!" Romon thought to himself, "However, if this continues, the second expansion in preparation may be about to begin."

As a result of the planning, Romon even planned room for three expansions.

The first expansion can accommodate 20,000 people, the second expansion can accommodate 50,000 people, and the third expansion can accommodate 100,000 people.

What is the concept of 100,000 people? This is not a unified country in China, but a small kingdom under the feudal system, and I remember that in the first century of the year, there were only 40,000 people in London.

The royal capital of the country has only 50,000 people per day.

Romon believes that there is enough leeway.

Just then, a caravan passed by, and Romon looked at it, the caravan had five wagons, and a few of them were clearly guards and mercenaries.

After the end of the demonic plague, almost half of the adventurers who died gradually recovered, because the trade route needed them.

In the distance, the temple of the goddess of commerce, appeared in front of him.

The temple of the goddess of commerce was very busy, with a large number of merchants coming in and out.

Some are prayers, some are sacrifices, but more are exchanges and commercial contracts.

When they got inside, all the pastors were busy, and for a while no pastors came up to greet them, and Romon didn't care.

At this moment, a merchant was pulling out a piece of paper folded in two and handing it to the priest in a respectful manner: "This is a bill of exchange for five hundred gold coins, and I want to exchange it for gold coins." ”

The priest looked at it, nodded, and touched his hand with a hint of holy light, and the symbol "Gold Coin with Wings" faintly appeared on the piece of paper, which was the mark of the goddess of commerce, Yahahime, which proved that the bill of exchange was genuine.

Only the priest of the goddess of commerce can make this bill of exchange appear with the holy seal, so that it is safe.

"Five hundred standard gold coins, one deposit and withdrawal, one percent of the fee, since you are less than a thousand, so ten gold coins are charged, are you sure?" replied the priest.

"Yes, take it out!"

It is obviously inconvenient for merchants to carry a large amount of currency in business, one is bulky, and the other is unsafe.

Three hundred years ago, the goddess learned about the system of remote access space and the standard gold coins, and her influence quickly expanded.

The so-called remote access space system means that you deposit gold or silver in a specially opened space in the goddess's kingdom, and then the local priest will open a bill of exchange to prove how much silver and gold you have deposited.

When traveling, as long as you take this money exchange with you, you can take out an equal amount of gold or silver as long as there is a temple of goddesses and priests in any place.

The priest prayed silently for a moment, and the space fluctuated, and a pocket fell.

The merchant took his pocket and dragged it away heavily, with his guards waiting for him.

"What is the matter with you, sir?" said the priest as he took a breath and stepped forward to Romon again, apparently it seemed that being a priest of the goddess of commerce was not easy, especially in the city.

"I'm Romon and I have an appointment. Romon said, followed by two attendants.

“...... Ah, it's the lord, please come in, the archbishop is already waiting for you inside!" The priest immediately bowed.

Sure enough, when I got inside, Mei Mimi was already welcome.

Inside, there was a cold air, which was equivalent to a magic air conditioner.

After dividing the guests and taking down on the sand, Romon asked, "How's your progress going, about the ship?"

Now that everyone knows each other very well, I won't say a kind word, and Romon once asked her to "take care of her ship in its entirety."

"I have already sent someone to investigate, in addition to the battleship, there are eleven sailing ships, these sailing ships can become the merchant ships of the Chamber of Commerce, your own Chamber of Commerce, now has four medium-sized sailing ships, you make ten, form a standard merchant fleet, and give me the other five? I buy them at the market price, and our Chamber of Commerce also needs this. ”

"Okay, it's just a merchant ship, won't it be recruited in future wars?"

"It shouldn't be in that range. Mimi said simply.

"What about the other ships?"

"The other ships, all small, or pirate ships, are not suitable for long-sea sailing, except for some reserved for patrol fleets, the others can be sold to small chambers of commerce, or used as fishing boats, these, I will deal with them for you, and you will get a total of 90,000 gold coins in cash. ”

"Ninety thousand, then you can help me repay all the loans, how much is left?"

"Twenty-five thousand gold coins. Mei Mimi said, she thought for a while, and asked, "By the way, I heard that the shipyard is about to start?"

"Yes, construction is about to start, I am going to build two warships, and the time is two years. ”

"Well, build me one, too?" said Romimi.

Luo Rong's eyebrows jumped, strictly speaking, in the past, Luo Meng himself did not have the right to own warships, and had to use the name of the Fifth Fleet, until he became an earl, he could justifiably establish the "Tetashaw Fleet", or the "Giant Eagle Fleet", with a battleship-class ship.

The Chamber of Commerce does have the title of Lord and can be armed, but this is not allowed!" Romong, you want to build a battleship, I have a set of drawings, it is a four-masted warship of the Governor class, which can accommodate another 5 fighters, and it is a first-class warship now. ”

"I heard that you have a large number of druids who can practice vajra wood, and in this case, you may be able to turn a ship into a powerful warship. ”

"Ironwood, through spell casting, wood is as strong as iron, but it only has the weight of wood, but this is a sixth-level spell, and it is really not cost-effective to use a druid above eleventh level. Romon said, shaking his head: "Also, your request really embarrass me, it will disrupt the order of the territory."

"It's okay to have a battleship, I can give special permission for your local church to have one of these warships, how about it?" Seeing that Mei Mimi was a little disappointed, Romon groaned for a moment and said.

...... That's fine, then your shipyard can build three ships at the same time!"

"The craftsmen are a little nervous. ”

"It doesn't matter, the people I brought with me also have some work areas inside. ”

"Then it was decided...... By the way, you've been here for a while, and now you're okay?" Romon asked, nodding his head.

"Pretty good, I didn't expect your city to be so prosperous, this city alone has digested half of my priests, and my chamber of commerce has also gained a foothold. ”

"With your permission, I have set up shrines in five towns and sent people to preside over them, and now I basically have a job, and your city is expanding, and maybe there is a shortage of manpower!" Memimi said with a smile.

"Most of the kingdom of Faith is landlocked, with only a small area of ocean, and we are a coastal kingdom, and commerce is indeed relatively prosperous. Romon smiled.

After a pause, Wen said, "If there is no coastal plundering of the elves...... By the way, Mimimi, what do you think about the elves?"

Now, the information that the true god appeared among the elves has spread rapidly, and in addition to the people who don't know, the other middle and upper classes know the news.

Mei Mimi frowned, thought for a while and said: "This is difficult to evaluate, indeed, this is a big matter, how to deal with it, it is a matter of God, but from my standpoint, I hope that the elves can live in peace on the overseas islands, and never come back, of course, trade is possible and necessary."

Luo Meng couldn't help but laugh dumbly, according to the information he obtained, in fact, at least more than half of the crowd didn't care much about the elves.

After all, thousands of years have passed since the time when elves posed a powerful threat to humanity.

In the past thousand years, the elves have been completely vulnerable, and the threat to humans has become smaller and smaller, and in response, humans have gradually forgotten their hatred of elves.

However, the immortals, do not forget.

After a pause, Memimi said again, "And, it doesn't have much to do with you. Ba?"

"Why doesn't it matter? In the event of a war, my fleet will have to obey the dispatch and go up to fight, and the most important thing is that my territory is on the coast, and maybe it will suffer...... Romon said with some annoyance: "And, for myself, I don't want to participate in this battle myself. ”

"Your fears are justified, but if you don't want to fight, no one should be able to force you. Seeing that Romon was a little puzzled, Memimi couldn't help but say, "Didn't your wife tell you about the Holy Spirit?"

"Oh, she's only at level seven, she's only at level seven, and the church hasn't told her anything about this level yet. Mei Mimi said with a somewhat abrupt look.

Just the other day, Eleni was promoted to the seventh level.
