Infinite Journey From Hogwarts

Passing through the strait between the southern island chain and the mainland, the "Dawn Goddess" finally arrived at the end of the voyage, Pasto Port.

Although this is the most developed port in the countries of the southern island chain, it is not as prosperous as imagined, not even the inland port of the elves, Caranto.

The main reason is two reasons. First, the countries on the southern island chain are not developed. Although they are not as uncivilized as the barbarians, they are far inferior to the countries in the Flanaess region in terms of productivity.

The second is that the previous ocean trade was not the mainstream of world trade, especially the moodiness of the Goddess of the Sea and the Lord of the Storm, which made ocean trade extremely dangerous. The huge risk made merchants reluctantly give up this kind of higher profit and costly trade. Shorter trading methods.

But now everything has changed.

After arriving at the end of the voyage, this ocean-going trade was considered half completed, and Cedric, Woking, and Umberley all received great feedback.

They no longer cover up the changes on the River of Destiny, and the three saints stood on the River of Destiny in the posture of a descending god, and announced at the same time.

"I, Umberle, Woking, and Cedric, shall together be the patrons of the trade of the seas."

The turbulent river of fate connects with [Great Source], although it did not arouse the personal feedback of the will of the world like Cedric created the Yan Clan and You Clan, but the priesthood of [Ocean Trade] is still condensed from [Great Source], And one was divided into three and fell into the hands of three people.

Cedric fused this incomplete priesthood with his [Fortune] priesthood, and he suddenly felt that he was one step closer to becoming a god, and he could even hold a god-conferring ceremony with the faith he has condensed now, if there is no external interference , he will easily become an eternal true god.

However, it is impossible without external interference. Neither the Destiny Twins nor Gewush will allow him to become a god smoothly, so his own god-ascension ceremony still needs to be prepared separately.

Cedric smiled and said to the two goddesses, "Since the plan has been carried out smoothly, I will leave it to you later."

Both of them knew that Cedric had other things to do, so they understood his departure. Volkin nodded, "You give us such a good opportunity, we can't wait for it."

It is undoubtedly the best time to form a faith after condensing the priesthood, and Cedric's departure at this time obviously gave up this part of the cake. To a certain extent, the three are also mutual competitors.

However, their competitive relationship is not like a mortal enemy holding the same priesthood, but an alliance holding common interests.

The main reason is that [Ocean Trade] is not the main priesthood of the three, but an expansion of their authority, and this priesthood will become incomplete without the assistance of any party.

After Cedric greeted the two goddesses, he found Dolan in an excited state again. He is now not only the saint of the goddess of wealth, but also the most important financial officer in Dawn City.

Dolan excitedly reported to Cedric, "If this voyage returns smoothly, we will make a profit of tens of millions of gold coins at a time."

In this era, ocean trade is a profitable industry. At the same time, the route of the three most prosperous trading cities, Dawn City, Caranto and Pasto Port, is undoubtedly the most profitable among the huge profits.

The rich raw materials on the southern island chain, the exquisite elf products of Caranto, and the huge market of the Flanaess in Dawn City, the three formed an excellent complement.

Cedric gave Dolan instructions, "In addition to this route, you can prepare some new routes, such as starting from the Emerald City, following the direction of the stormy ocean current, and opening up a route that bypasses the Flanaess Commercial Coast, or even It is possible to open up a route across the Chaos Sea and directly to the Eastern Continent."

"Perhaps you will become the first businessman connected to the planet Oss in the future."

Hearing Cedric's words, even the ambitious Dolan fell into a slump. If he could really become the first businessman connected to the planet Oss, he would be immediately promoted by the goddess to be a god, right?

Of course, it's not bad to be the god of His Highness in front of you.

The Goddess of Wealth doesn't mind her followers believing in other gods, especially now that she's still in the honeymoon period with Cedric.

"Of course." Cedric painted a big pie. How to stimulate subjective initiative is the most important thing for leaders to do. You must know that the power of these businessmen is no less than that of the army.

The power of the countries in the southern island chain is not strong, and even Cedric's current fleet of the "Goddess of Dawn" can completely separate a huge island and establish a country, but this is not the best solution, because Dawn City does not lack land However, what is most lacking is the 'citizens' who agree with the concept of Dawn City.

In Cedric's view, the concept of nationality is even more important than land. Only a unified empire with a high concentration of cultural identity can last long.

Even if it falls into the trough of history, there is still the possibility of rising again. This is undoubtedly the case in the Eastern Land in the previous life, and the opposite example is the ancient Roman Empire.

Although this was also a powerful country with a great reputation in history, its citizens did not have a high degree of recognition of the common culture, which caused this powerful giant to fall quickly in a short period of time, and never stood up again. .

The economic and cultural invasion is the first step for Cedric to expand the sphere of influence of Dawn City to the southern island chain, which is far more useful than conquering a group of slaves by force.

After Cedric explained his philosophy to Dolan all night, he left the fleet of the "Dawn Goddess" the next day, but he did not return to Dawn City, but went to the underground world.

As the full-scale war with the orcs is approaching, Cedric must also quickly accumulate his own strength.

Although on the surface, Dawn City has gained an overall advantage in the battle with the orcs, but this is just a flower in the mirror, a moon in the water.

In this autumn hunting operation, the orcs dispatched only 20,000 small tribe hunting troops. Even because of the floating city, the 20,000 elite troops and 100,000 servants of the three orc tribes never officially entered the battlefield.

But next year's war will not be so simple. First of all, the 20,000 elite troops and 100,000 servants will become the vanguard of the orcs after a year of integrated training, pointing directly at Dawn City.

At the same time, the orc empire with the same orc king can at least gather millions of troops, although in order to prevent the main force of elves and humans from stealing their homes, the orcs must set aside a large number of troops.

But the number of elite troops attacking Dawn City is likely to reach more than 500,000, which is almost a military force that can destroy a powerful human kingdom, and now Dawn City needs to face it by itself.

Not to mention the true gods of the orc pantheon behind this army and the evil gods peeping at Dawn City.

Now, although Dawn City has the powerful weapon of Floating Void City, Dawn City, with a total force of less than 50,000 troops, is actually in danger. All prosperity now must be based on completely resisting the attack of the orcs next year.

So Cedric not only did not relax, but became more urgent.

Of course, his first focus is on improving his own strength. After all, the real god is the primary productive force in this world. If he can really defeat Gruumsh head-on, there probably won't be any war in Dawn City.
