Emperor of Arcane
Chapter 614 The “price” of “good intentions” (8000)
"good!"
After receiving Matthew's promise, Anthony's face was immediately filled with smiles. {What? You don’t know yet|Read COM, read the chapters without mistakes|Hurry up and Google them}
Matthew couldn't help but sigh in his heart for this legendary great druid with a changeable expression:
"Sure enough, the more powerful a professional is, the more distinct his personality is, and he doesn't hide his temperament at all."
The reason is naturally very simple. People who do not have clear thoughts often cannot truly control their own thoughts, souls and bodies.
Only professionals who have thought clearly and found their own path can have such firm thoughts and ideas.
They can be insidious, cunning, greedy, and cruel, but they usually don't change their minds.
Because they know what they want.
And it is precisely because of this determination and thoroughness of thinking that we can go further on the road of being a professional.
Of course, for most ordinary professionals.
They are often people who are bound by power. They do not have such a profound understanding, and naturally they cannot reach such heights.
Only some extraordinary professionals, stronger legends, and even demigod-level beings can truly control their own souls and wills.
This is why they are often so rare.
Even for gods, such believers and subordinates are rare.
Therefore, they hope that there will be more and more believers under their command, and the chances of birthing such talents will increase.
The Great Druid in front of him was a powerful man at the peak of the legend that Mother Earth valued very much.
Anthony is now one of the strongest among the many druids in the northern continent.
When the first magic tide comes, Anthony will become one of the strongest druids in the entire material plane.
Matthew clearly remembered that Anthony would break through the shackles of the demigods in the future, successfully ignite the divine fire, ascend to the throne of God, and become a general under the command of Mother Earth.
Because of this, Matthew had already made up his mind to "cooperate" the moment he saw Anthony arrive.
Matthew knew very well that Mother Earth and His Church did not owe favors lightly.
Therefore, Matthew and the Gulf Territory naturally cannot take advantage of themselves, otherwise they are seeking death.
So we discuss business very simply.
Doing business with other people is also done.
When doing business with gods, you can't be left behind.
Anthony valued fertilizer very much. After seeing another batch of golem trains transporting fertilizer, he simply let Matthew go.
Under everyone's curious gaze, Anthony muttered something in his mouth, picked up a pile of fertilizers, and buried them directly in the soil.
Noticed that Anthony respectfully saluted the small mound, and finally put the emblem of a flower wrapped in the harvest rice on it.
In the eyes of others, nothing happened after Anthony did this.
But in Matthew's eyes, he saw a burst of rich golden light emerging from the ground.
Then, a middle-aged woman with white hair appeared quietly on the mound.
There was a little bit of surprise and a smile on her face, she was holding very ordinary fertilizer in her hands, and her eyes were shining with a strong golden light.
The indescribable mystery and power gave Matthew extremely amazing pressure.
The kind of majesty and kindness that makes people want to immediately lower their heads and salute respectfully, in Matthew's opinion, is indeed no less than the mental pollution that distorts the halo.
It’s hard to say how many of the many believers in Mother Earth are “confused” by her.
Matthew lowered his head subconsciously, but a soft voice came from his ears:
“I’m very pleased with this gift and very pleased with the development of Bay Territory.”
Before Matthew could answer or think, the huge pressure had disappeared without a trace.
When Matthew looked up, the incarnation of Mother Earth had disappeared without a trace.
On the contrary, it was Anthony next to him, winking and smiling at him.
Matthew didn't bother to pay attention to his teasing, sat on the flying dragon again, and made a departure gesture.
Anthony, who was completely relieved, happily looked at the farm stronghold in the Bay Territory. The surprise in his eyes became more and more intense, and he kept asking Matthew questions.
Matthew did not hide anything, but told Anthony everything about the operation process of the entire farm, especially the cooperative production methods of several crops that complement each other.
After Anthony heard these things that were easy to understand but that no one had ever thought of and put into action, his eyes showed a little bit of shock and emotion. He looked at Matthew's black eyes and hair and said:
"Sure enough, the wisdom of the East is profound and ancient, and it can always be updated."
"Even if you have been living in the northern continent, the talent in your blood cannot be concealed."
When Anthony said this, Matthew was savoring the meaning behind his words.
It is obvious that Anthony obviously knew many Orientals and was very impressed with them.
With his identity and status, there was absolutely no need to lie.
Matthew was very interested in this.
There are many Easterners in the Northern Continent, mostly located in the eastern coastal area.
According to the information Matthew received, 20 years ago there were many reports of Easterners communicating with the Northern Continent, but in recent years there has been almost no news about them.
The only news we got was that the Eastern Continent had encountered some huge changes, and the passage between the two continents had been cut off. The only way from the Eastern Continent was through the areas occupied by the barbarians.
However, the road is dangerous and terrifying, and hundreds of thousands of miles away, cutting off all thought of coming or going.
Even in Matthew's memory, there was little news about the Eastern Continent. It was only in the later stages of his memory that he learned that it had been unified into a powerful and complete empire.
This fits Matthew's impression of the place.
After all, unification is the tradition and beautiful vision of the Eastern Continent.
Matthew did not respond to what Anthony said.
Because he knew that what he was doing was different from that of the Eastern Continent.
Even Lao Li thinks so, and Matthew naturally doesn't want to explain it, just treat it as a wonderful misunderstanding!
Anthony savored the method Matthew told him, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this way of thinking contained great wisdom.
Logically speaking, Matthew shouldn't tell himself such an important thing.
But he just said it and didn't hide it at all.
Anthony could clearly feel that Matthew seemed willing to let him know, and he had indescribable confidence in his heart.
why is that?
If you have questions, just ask.
Anthony never hides anything.
Matthew's answer was also very straightforward: "Ha, there are methods since ancient times, but no one is willing to invest."
After hearing this, Anthony's eyes widened subconsciously, and he looked down at the farm stronghold below. His eyes flashed involuntarily, and then he suddenly realized.
Indeed, as Matthew said, even if this method is known, no one will implement it or promote it.
The reason is very simple. First of all, the investment is very high, so high that even the ordinary lords and nobles cannot bear it.
Then, the cost recovery is very slow. Without the many druids and production golems in the Gulf Territory, according to the normal production and development trajectory, it would take at least twenty or thirty years to recover the cost.
With such a large amount of money, the lords and nobles would either use it for food, drink and fun, or use it on other simpler ways to make money.
For other territories, if you want something, you can just collect it from the people. There is no need to go to such trouble as the Gulf Territory.
Moreover, for many lords and nobles throughout the northern continent.
The force and merits possessed by the territory are far more important than the materials developed by the territory.
Moreover, even if some lords and nobles knew about this method of the Gulf Territory, they would just keep it in their hands.
At most, it is a small-scale production, which naturally cannot create more value.
A method of making money that is implemented on such a large scale in the Gulf Territory and distributes so many benefits to the people of the territory will only make other lords laugh.
With this thought in his mind, Anthony couldn't help but have a deeper impression of Matthew and the Gulf Territory.
When they arrived at Bay City, Anthony and others had not yet had a chance to take a good look at this huge and brand-new city.
The grand welcome ceremony immediately stunned them.
Thousands of children wearing white and blue school uniforms waved little red scarves in their hands and shouted loudly to the somewhat astonished Anthony and his disciples:
"Welcome Mr. Druid Anthony to the Bay Territory!"
“Welcome Harvest to the Gulf Territory!”
Looking at the pairs of big clear and transparent eyes, seeing each of them smiling, full of energy, and arranging in an orderly manner, all the druids, including Anthony, couldn't help but blink.
There is no other reason. Anyone who sees a lot of white, cute, and well-behaved children will not be able to help but feel happy.
Even Anthony, who was well-informed, followed by countless druids, and revered by many Harvest Church believers, felt flattered at this moment.
What he saw from the smiling faces was extremely sincere expectations and yearning for a better life in the future.
If there are only one or two, Anthony thinks they are talented children and will be very happy to cultivate and bless them, hoping that they can thrive.
But when this number is enlarged to thousands, it may even be more.
Anthony felt goosebumps all over his body, and he was even happier than before when he was appreciated and approached by Mother Earth, because what he saw was a large area of hope.
For a druid, there is nothing more attractive than nurturing and nurturing.
When they passed among the children, everyone's face showed confusion and joy, and they couldn't help but smile, looking very happy.
When they saw the children lining up neatly, waving goodbye to them, and happily heading to the Golem Train in the distance, everyone had an unfinished expression on their faces.
It's always very comforting to see so much hope.
Matthew didn't take them to visit Bay City. They had plenty of time later.
Instead it led them to a huge tree.
A circle of rather simple cabins was built around the giant tree.
Lush flowers and small trees growing freely exude wild charm here.
Anthony's students were very satisfied with this environment, and the bad mood caused by seeing a large number of steel golems was greatly relieved.
Only Anthony stared at the tall trees with a shocked expression. He noticed the tree spirits running back and forth among the treetops. He couldn't help blinking and asked excitedly:
"Is this the tree of life?"
In fact, Anthony was able to determine her identity from the moment he saw Quanquan's figure.
However, he still wanted to get a positive answer from Matthew to make sure that he was not dreaming.
"Yes, this is indeed the Tree of Life, a young sapling cultivated in our Gulf Territory."
After hearing what Matthew said, Quanquan felt the close aura of Druid and others, nodded very happily and said:
"Yeah! Bay Territory is my home. Welcome to Bay Territory. I hope you can enjoy your stay here."
Feeling the faint breath of life lingering around them, all the druids, including Anthony, nodded in confusion.
They never thought that the Gulf Territory actually had the ability to cultivate the Tree of Life.
Moreover, he planted the Tree of Life in this crowded city openly.
This makes them feel weird and uncomfortable.
In their minds, shouldn’t the important task of cultivating and caring for the Tree of Life fall on them, the Druids?
Moreover, the Tree of Life should have been well taken care of and not placed haphazardly in the city.
But they didn't know what to say. They could only stare at the approaching spring, feeling a very strange feeling.
Quanquan and Druid are very familiar with each other.
If you have any questions, just communicate with Lao Li and other druids directly.
Druids generally have good senses, but they don't take it to heart particularly.
Quanquan has been studying at the Professional Training Academy, learning to control power, understand the world, and recognize intelligent creatures.
If we say that growing freely in a large forest, it does seem very carefree.
It is inevitable that there will be some loneliness, and Quanquan strongly agrees with the views taught in the territory.
The so-called learning means not only learning the ability to deal with various problems, but also learning how to guide and constrain one's thinking.
Absolute freedom means absolute chaos.
After seeing the beauty and stability of order, Quanquan's inner thoughts and thoughts have been changed.
She didn't want the saplings in the future to be like herself before.
In the midst of loneliness and confusion, I lived through the darkness with no end in sight.
The backer will fall, but everyone will run!
Quanquan has the final say on the growth of the Tree of Life!
The druids with shining eyes were very curious about the situation of Quanquan and the Gulf Territory, so they naturally stayed.
On the contrary, Anthony was busier. He used various means to contact many people in the Harvest Church and asked them to send large quantities of ore.
That’s right, it’s ore!
It is not the various rare metal mines that are very scarce in the Gulf Territory, but the ores that are specially used for the production of various fertilizers.
The Gulf Territory does not produce much of the nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and other minerals needed for various crops.
The fertilizer produced by those guano islands in the sea has limited output under recycling standards.
The Gulf Territory is in short supply of these minerals, and the Harvest Church, with the support of Mother Earth, is in short supply.
Even if you didn't know the value and use of these minerals before, you can find them as quickly as possible, dig them out and produce them.
With the help of the Gulf Territory Thorns Chamber of Commerce’s transportation network, the first batch of minerals arrived at the fertilizer plant in Gulf Territory in just three days.
This also allowed Matthew and the Gulf Territory to fully see how powerful and actionable the church organization can be when it is fully mobilized.
It is no exaggeration to say that in this era when gods return and miracles appear.
God's orders are much easier to use than those of kings and lords.
The reason is very simple. Not many people dare to obey the gods under the watchful eye.
At this stage, the Gulf Territory is also implementing such supervision methods to ensure that the threshold for corruption will be very high.
Try to prevent this kind of thing from happening in the Gulf Territory as much as possible.
Even occasionally, there are still people who are not afraid of death, and they can be easily manipulated without being too affected.
Matthew never believed that the territory would not be able to function without these borers, and the people would not be able to eat without these vampires.
5 days later.
United Chemical Fertilizer Plant.
The first batch of mineral fertilizer production is completed.
Anthony couldn't wait to experiment.
After just using it once, he fell in love with the isolation laboratory in the Druid branch.
When they saw it in person, the crops they brought over produced 450 kilograms per mu.
Thanks to the fertilization of fertilizers, a huge increase in output was achieved, exceeding 700 kilograms.
I couldn't help but start cheering excitedly.
Soon, the production lines of the United Chemical Fertilizer Factory began to increase day by day.
The daily output has rapidly increased from a dozen tons to tens of thousands of tons.
The Gulf Territory received 50% of the fertilizer and used it for fattening wasteland and the underground world.
The Harvest Church specially entrusted the Gulf Territory to transport these fertilizers to the Kingdom of Falsico.
When Matthew heard that they were going to distribute the fertilizers to the poor people and lords there for free, he wisely kept silent.
Just when the entire northern continent was unknowingly falling into the disaster caused by the spread of zombie contamination.
The high-profile Harvest Church used a fertilizer that could greatly increase crop yields, causing an uproar among major kingdoms and organizations.
Mining does make a lot of money, and you can make money fast!
But for the vast majority of lords and nobles, most of the land and people in the territory can bring them a steady stream of eternal wealth.
Fertilizer that can greatly increase crop yields!
Not only can everyone collect more food, but it can also feed more people.
They will have more labor and tax revenue!
This is simply an existence comparable to an artifact!
It can bring everyone's overall wealth to at least a higher level!
Members of the Harvest Church soon discovered that purchase orders from major kingdoms and organizations were pouring in.
The fertilizer they distributed to the people and ordinary lords was quickly taken away by the other parties in various ways.
With the huge gap, they could only watch as if nothing had changed.
Compared to their anxiety, the United Chemical Fertilizer Factory, which is undergoing significant expansion and expansion, has become another pillar industry for the rapid development of the Gulf Territory.
In just one month, it recruited and trained more than 100,000 workers.
The huge scale of production makes the Eternal Church feel astonished.
They watched helplessly as the production scale of the United Chemical Fertilizer Factory increased rapidly from tens of thousands of tons a month ago to an astonishing hundreds of thousands of tons.
The fertilizer produced every day can be piled up into a tall hill.
Faced with so much fertilizer, overseas Chinese could swallow and digest all the fertilizer given to them without changing their expressions.
The druids saw firsthand that the Gulf Territory used it to transform and fatten the land.
A lot of fertilizers that were distributed to Harvest Church were hoarded by major organizations and forces, with no intention of distributing them for use.
Much to their dismay, often they give the fertilizer away.
Farmers who get fertilizers will voluntarily hand them over in exchange for more coins and food.
Transporting huge amounts of ores and minerals every day has placed a heavy burden on Harvest Church.
Many people within the church also began to make vague suggestions.
Since distributing it has no effect and only enriches the lords and nobles who have done nothing, it is better to sell it.
At the beginning, Anthony and the senior leaders of Harvest Church naturally refused.
This is a blessing that belongs to Mother Earth and is not a tool used to plunder wealth.
However, when they watched the wasteland reclaimed by the Gulf Territory turned into fertile land.
In areas where a large amount of fertilizer has been distributed, the land is still very barren.
He was also shaken after a period of intense discussion and debate.
Therefore, the Harvest Church was forced to sell these fertilizers, which should have brought wonderful harvests to countless people, at a price that could only sustain the cost.
This time, no lords or nobles were hoarding anymore.
But they didn't do any good either. In the name of increasing crop yields with fertilizers, they happily increased taxes.
The farmers, who were not already wealthy, suddenly encountered a natural disaster, and their situation suddenly worsened.
Now, the people from Harvest Church are Muggles.
From their original popularity, they were immediately cursed by many farmers and people.
They did not dare to scold the lords and nobles, and could only vent their grievances on the Harvest Church, the instigator.
Harvest Church, which had done bad things with good intentions, is really suffering now.
Their example taught the Gulf leaders a solid lesson.
"Well, don't just think about doing good things."
"Just thinking about distributing money or supplies is always the worst choice, and it will also be used by people with malicious intentions and become a tool and target for them to seek benefits."
The children who greeted the druids with smiles nodded their heads in sudden realization.
After experiencing this incident, they will understand the dangers and horrors of other areas outside the Gulf Territory.
Nor will he be framed and kidnapped by others at will because of his integrity and kindness.
The Harvest Church, which has been struggling to support itself, has no choice whether to sell it or not. It’s a disastrous situation.
Although Mother Earth did not reprimand them for not doing things well, everyone including Anthony was very depressed.
At this moment, Butler Ralph found them with a smile.
He made a very groundbreaking and jaw-dropping proposal:
"We disclose the secret recipe of fertilizer production to all lords and kingdoms without charging a penny."
“And we also help them solve problems in their territory.”
“However, this requires the help of Harvest Church.”
Anthony naturally didn't believe it, but he was also annoyed by those stupid lords and nobles, so he pointedly motioned to Butler Ralph to speak freely.
"It's very simple. Once you tell them the secret of production, they will naturally produce fertilizer."
"This is far more cost-effective and economical than our own production..."
"Moreover, now in major territories and kingdoms, due to the impact of zombie disasters, many refugees and refugees have appeared in the country."
"If these refugees are left alone, they will not only die of hunger but also of war, and may even become food and soldiers for the zombie disaster."
"So we can use the secret recipe for fertilizer production in exchange for the refugees they regard as a burden..."
This proposal, which can be called "selfless", was quickly approved by the senior leaders of Harvest Church.
Therefore, when the deal terms spread to the major territories and kingdoms, most nobles and lords were tempted.
The refugees are gone.
They are safe.
Got a lot of benefits again.
He also freed up a large area of unclaimed land for his own territory.
This is simply a win!
Of course, there will naturally be ignorant idiots who try to get more.
But they were soon dumbfounded again.
The Harvest Church, which had been very unhappy with them for a long time, decisively placed their transaction at the end.
Clay Bodhisattva still has three points of fire energy!
Not to mention the church, which was naturally at odds with lords and kings.
When the first lord completed the transaction, and with the help of the Gulf Territory, he had a fertilizer production factory in just a few days.
Naturally, other lords and nobles were not willing to lag behind and came to visit one after another.
Some lords and nobles wanted to complete cooperation with the Gulf Territory as soon as possible.
They actually gave an operation that made Harvest Church dumbfounded.
"Don't you want a large number of refugees and refugees? Is 100,000 enough? If not, I will get more!"
Good guy!
This operation is indeed very noble!
What the Harvest Church members didn't expect was that the Gulf Leader didn't dislike it at all and happily completed the deal with them.
Matthew and the Gulf Territory naturally don't care what the Harvest Church thinks.
Anyway, Matthew has got the thing he wants most besides the population.
Harvest Church’s specialty—essence of life!
This is a real good thing. It is the essence of life left behind after the natural death of magical creatures and plants.
They have been purified by the secret arts of the Harvest Church and turned into healing elixirs that replenish vitality.
Compared with the water of life produced in the Gulf Territory, the effect is even better, and even the price is only the same.
The latter can increase lifespan!
The value of life essence is very high. Each gram can easily be sold for thirty or forty gold coins, and there is a considerable purchase threshold.
The most fundamental reason is that the effect is good but the output is indeed low!
In the dangerous nature, magical creatures and plants die in many ways.
Killed by natural enemies, starved to death due to lack of nutrition, caught or collected, their lives will end prematurely.
Those who can live to the end of their lives and go to bed are definitely rare!
As for those that can be encountered by people, it can be said to be almost non-existent.
Even druids who are very close to nature cannot guard magical creatures and plants every day and do nothing.
And once something unexpected happens, decades or hundreds of years of hard work may be in vain.
The reason why Harvest Church can obtain enough raw materials.
It's because these materials come from the magical creatures and plants that travel with them.
Druids will protect their safety, give them some guidance, and help them thrive.
They will also give up their life essence and return to the embrace of nature after they die and go to bed.
To put it simply, this method is similar to the raising of magical creatures and plants that the Gulf Territory has always advocated.
It's just that these magical creatures and plants are raised in the Gulf Territory.
Usually, after the year and effect reach the standard, they will be sacrificed with honor.
After having the essence of life.
It only took Matthew two hours to obtain the secret production method that the Harvest Church had kept secret.
That afternoon.
Matthew gathered some of the raw materials from across the Gulf Territory.
At the cost of hundreds of thousands of Destiny Power, Matthew "successfully" produced the Gulf Territory's first life essence.
essence of life
Type: Advanced magical creation.
Quality: Excellent.
Effect: Restores health equal to 100 health points.
Cooldown: None.
Rating: An excellent magic item.
Looking at the light blue life essence in his hand, Matthew touched his chin and quickly issued a new supplementary order to the entire Gulf Territory:
"The proportion of magical plants and creatures cultivated in breeding grounds and farms has been increased from the original 1% to 5%."
If Matthew does this, the early profits of the breeding land and farms will drop by 40%.
Breeding and nurturing 5% of magical creatures and plants until death means providing them with a steady stream of care and nutrition.
Moreover, the task of selecting and optimizing varieties will also become heavier.
However, after understanding the effect of life essence.
Butler Ralph implemented this policy very firmly.
The investment will be greater, and the quality and output of the magical plants and creatures that can be cultivated will be better.
Although the investment cycle will be longer, the huge return ratio of more than 800% can suppress all problems.
Of course, the Gulf Territory and Harvest Church's "recruiting refugees" operations are in full swing.
Matthew, Aini and Yaya are busy in the underground laboratory.
The first batch of well-behaved experimental subjects have actively completed training and learning, and are waiting for the operation to begin.
Matthew has made a commitment to them.
In view of their proactive atonement.
As long as they hold up during surgery.
They can gain a certain degree of freedom.
Well, from a prison where I can't move, to a prison where I can move normally.
As for letting go?
How can it be!
Their minimum sentences are more than the death penalty + 200 years!
Matthew is in short supply of test subjects for his subsequent transformation surgery...
