The Church of the God of Courage has long regarded the Redwood Kingdom as its own territory, and has been doing its best to develop believers, and in the past few years, while dividing the diocese with other Church of the Gods, they have intervened in the affairs of the kingdom openly and covertly against the noble families who worship the ancestors

In the bloody battle on the square of the House of Lords, the church of the god of courage was actually equivalent to intervening in the war, but was completely defeated by Richard's side

However, the Church of the God of Courage, which has always been strong and arrogant, unexpectedly chose to remain silent this time, and the momentum of the corresponding Church of the Three Goddesses increased greatly with the success of Richard's parade

In the Kingdom of Sequoia, dozens, if not dozens, of devotees go to the shrine of the Three Goddesses every day to ask for refuge

This was unthinkable in the past, and it was only seen more than fifty years ago after the Temple of the God of Courage helped the royal family win the Continental Highway Trade War

And the development of the three goddesses in the Bloodstained Lands was even more rapid, and as Richard gained a foothold in the Bloodstained Lands, a large number of merchants and adventurers flocked to the smell of gold coins

More and more people chose to settle in the various oasis cities, and many of them were civilians with their families attached to Richard's name, swearing allegiance and becoming his official subjects, a number that had crossed the 100,000 mark at the time of the last count, and nearly ten times the number of slaves

The most surprising thing for the three goddesses is that even in the bloodstained land, the powerful god behind Richard seems to have no interest in developing believers, only a simple small temple is still quicksand, and he opened a separate small hall in the small building where he lives, and this temple is not open to the public at all because of its location, and only a very small number of people in Richard's inner circle can enter

You must know that Richard's income in the Bloodstained Land is more than five million gold coins per year, and it is more than enough to build a great temple that crowns the kingdom, so how can they be reluctant to spend a little bit to build a temple for the true god, it can be seen that their previous bold guess is correct, that is, a secret god in the neutral realm, so strong that he doesn't care about this faith power at all, and as long as there is no conflict of faith, the alliance between the gods will be very stable

As a result, Richard's deity became even stronger, and it is said that the two goddesses of hunting and the forest also had the idea of moving the Great Temple to the Bloodstained Land

The main temple is different from the ordinary temple, it is the foundation of a true god, and it is the fastest and most powerful place to develop faith and increase the power level of the magician

In fact, the move of the goddess of spring water to the main shrine to the bloodstained land was a very unexpected move, because the name of the three goddesses is their priesthood, and hunting in the bloodstained land is better to talk about springs and forests, which is not much to be found

However, in just a few months after the main temple of the goddess of spring water was moved, her number of believers increased by more than two thousand, such a rapid growth rate, and it was found that the powerful true god behind Richard did not care about the believers here, so the two goddesses of hunting and forest naturally couldn't sit still

Previously, they were reluctant to go to Oasis City, partly because the natural environment was a bit nondescript, and partly because they were afraid of the true god behind Richard

Although there is a covenant, the biggest conflict between the true gods is the battle of beliefs, according to the rules of the god system, the realm and the priesthood do not match, they have no missionary priority, and from the quicksand and Io, it can be seen that the unknown true god may even be a powerful divine power, so that in the field where both sides are not advantageous, if the true god is in need, the three goddesses must back down, so the goddess of hunting and the forest does not want to be too controlled by others

But since they found out that this true god doesn't care about believers, the two goddesses naturally refuse to let go of this excellent opportunity, the goddess of spring water took the first step, not only got rid of the predicament of endangered divine power, but also took the lead among the three goddesses after the invader war and the great development of the church

Moreover, wealth was of equal importance to the nobility and to the church

As the situation in the Bloodstained Land gradually stabilized, Richard's taxes on this land began to increase at an alarming rate, and now the toll tax alone was close to four million per year, plus the poll tax levied on the permanent and temporary lords of the realm, and the overnight fee collected by the temporary lords, the daily tax was five million a year, and it was increasing rapidly

Every day, temporary subjects submit applications to become permanent subjects of Richard, and when the number on the roster exceeds the 100,000 mark, the vetting procedures and conditions become complicated, but they still fail to curb the growth

After all, Richard's land taxes are still much lower than in other countries, and there are more opportunities to make money here, and the tax rate for permanent subjects in any area is much lower than that of non-subjects, and to change from temporary to permanent territory, you need to pay a sum of money to Richard, or buy a piece of land in the new area of the five oasis cities, or you want to serve Richard for five years, and if you can join the regular army, then it will be three years

Therefore, Richard's wealth is accumulating rapidly, and the biggest result of this tour is that Richard has increased his rights and interests in the longitudinal line trade route from the original 25% to 55%, which is a huge leap, and the immediate benefits are more than 3 million

It can be said that the land of blood has now become a land of gold

On the other side of the Bloodstained Lands, Richard's dwarven allies have also expanded rapidly in the past year, having just annexed three small tribes, gaining tens of thousands of people and 10,000 qualified dwarven warriors, but the appetites of the dwarven allies are clearly not satisfied, because Richard is still constantly transporting food and ore away

The dwarves originally thought that their ore was like a mountain range, but when the trade routes were actually opened, they immediately found that the ore that had been piled up in the warehouse for hundreds of years was rapidly declining, and the demand from human friends was simply a bottomless pit

However, Richard's great wealth in front of the dwarves also dazzled their eyes, abundant food, abundant liquor, and all kinds of consumer goods that ordinary dwarves had never even seen in their lives, making them feel that they could be strong, stronger, stronger, and never ending stronger

It's no wonder that after all, Richard has transported almost all the rare minerals back to Norland, as the main plane of the extremely developed magical civilization, Norland's demand for all kinds of materials is almost unlimited, which is also the confidence that Norland can support hundreds of plane wars at the same time

All the dwarves needed to do now was dig up the almost endless ore from the depths of the mountain in exchange for food, liquor, and all kinds of clothing and daily necessities, and for the first time they felt that there was a shortcut to more labor in the miners, so Richard's dwarven allies followed the same path as the humans, which was to wage war and plunder slaves

When Richard returned to Oasis City, Luoqi, who had been living a two-point life between the magic room and the meditation room, also had a harvest, and she was able to complete the first magic circle that Richard gave her

This is actually a core function in the primary power, and the difficulty of the magic array has increased after Richard has been modified, and of course, the bonus range has naturally increased

Luo Qi can already complete such a magic array in two days, although the success rate is not yet 100%, but 80% is also an excellent number, the most important thing is that Richard only needs to spend an extra hour on the basis of this magic array, and he can complete a power-type non-standard construction between the first and second orders, which is also one of the wild suits

Luoqi hardly sleeps, combining sleep and meditation, but doing so will also have a negative effect, and after a long time, she will gradually feel tired mentally, but Luoqi seems to have forgotten Richard's warning, and has been insisting on this cycle, and before you know it, more than a month has passed

Before Richard walked into the magic room, an elite humanoid knight who was in charge of guarding the room walked over and whispered something in Richard's ear, Richard showed surprise on his face after hearing this, Luoqi's current schedule was almost a copy of when he was studying in Deep Blue

The elite humanoid knight stepped back, and Richard walked into the magic room

Now, after several expansions, the magic real room in Bluewater Oasis City has occupied an entire building, and alchemical instruments from the Norland dwarf country have begun to appear in it, and in terms of the quality of this real yàn room, it can barely squeeze into the first-class in Norland, and the price is that Richard has invested more than two million in this real yàn room, and if you want to stand on the first-class, you have to have a basic investment of five million

The hall on the first floor is a workshop for handling various magical materials, and above the second floor are workshops for various special purposes

In the studio on the second floor, Richard saw Luoqi who was immersed in drawing and constructing, and there were ten sealed magic boxes on the shelves, each of which would have two standard functional magic arrays

Richard's gaze swept over the shelf, and then fell back to Luoqi's back with an indescribable rhythm in her gestures, and it seemed that her success rate in building had increased during this period of hard work, and her magic power had also increased to level ten

It wasn't until Luo Qi finished drawing a functional magic array that Richard spoke up: "It's really good to be at level ten."

Luo Qi let out a low cry, looked back and saw that it was Richard, and suddenly showed a happy look and said, "What happened a few days ago was careless...... It's the tenth level."

But at this point, Luo Qi suddenly seemed to remember something, and there was a slight apprehension on her face, Richard had given her a promise that when her magic power reached level ten, he would teach her a new meditation technique.
