Pirate Kingship

A week has passed since the end of the international conference at the Faros Lighthouse.

Rhineland Colony, Brandenburg Cathedral.

Most of the monks who were active throughout the Bantaan Islands like stragglers gathered here.

Everyone knows that once the Kingdom of Castile wins, it will definitely choose lay priests it has trained.

But the other two winners will definitely choose them in order to maintain their independence.

The eyes of the devout religious priests are shining with holy light, and they are always ready to contribute their strength and even their lives to the sacred missionary cause.

And they also have a "leader" who is kind, pious and philanthropic, because all of them are confident about the future.

"Mother Teresa, the Lord is with you."

"Good day, Sister."

"."

Today's collective prayer ceremony has just ended. A group of religious priests in the auditorium all humbly greeted Teresa who presided over the ceremony.

Even just saying one sentence is very satisfying.

And nuns are worthy of their name of kindness, treating them equally regardless of whether they are mortals or extraordinary beings, elders or young people.

“Christine, your devotion has moved the Lord, your spirituality has begun to flourish, and your awakening can be completed within three days.

I also have some fine spices here, and I will share some with you. I hope you can make greater contributions to the cause of the Lord after you become a transcendent. "

A nun named Christine went on a mission overseas away from her family and friends. She hadn’t felt such care in a long time.

After taking a small bottle of gold powder-like spices with both hands, he couldn't help but express his thanks with slightly red eyes:

"Thank you for your generosity, Sister."

Theresa, who looked as delicate as a doll, flashed a holy light on her face and smiled gently at her:

"There is no need to thank me. It is the Lord's love that allows us to meet here. Being pious to the Lord is the best reward for me."

Then he turned to the young man next to him and said:

"Francis, you contracted schistosomiasis when you first came to the Bantaan Islands. You only recovered not long ago. I won't arrange for you to do manual labor recently.

The harbormaster's wife happens to need a scribe to enrich the family library, and I have agreed on your behalf.

I'll give you an extra pound a month.

I hope you can study with peace of mind and be familiar with the "Gospel of Creation" before your spiritual awakening, so that you will not be in a hurry when the time comes and you will not be able to satisfy the prerequisite knowledge for becoming a priest. "

The young priest burst into tears of gratitude for the nun's thoughtfulness and bowed deeply:

"Thank you for your concern, Mother Teresa."

Theresa, who was surrounded by everyone, did not have any impatience. She even knew everyone's situation very well and solved their difficulties with great patience.

In this overseas place far away from home, give them spiritual or material encouragement and support.

With his kindness and his thinning wallet, he warmed every religious priest who gathered here.

For her own ideals, the nun is busy but happy.

After she was hit by her own "boomerang", her kind heart finally stopped being so evil and became somewhat normal.

With each person she encouraged, the light in Teresa's eyes grew brighter.

It's like being with God.

Obviously, everyone has their own pursuits.

The ambition and obsession of this nun is to exercise the power given by the Creator, spread the glory of the Creator, and ascend to heaven with glory after death.

While on the ship she began by declaring:

“The power that we clergy exercise is dominion over the immortal souls of men.

The value of each of our priests is greater than anything in the world, whether it is gold, silver or precious stones, or even greater than the sky we can see from here.

We are empowered by the Creator and sent to lead people’s souls into the Kingdom of Heaven.

Therefore, both mainlanders and indigenous people must respect and fear the messenger of the Creator, obey God according to our instructions, and all people must obey God (Chapter 192)! "

Sequence Motto of the Temple Sequence: Be with God!

The series of promotion rituals they use to improve their ranks are basically related to preaching.

The wider you spread your belief in the Creator and the more devout believers, fanatics, and true believers you cultivate, the faster your promotion will be.

Their initial mission to hunt down the [Wild Hunt] had actually failed. They had been to the Bantaan Islands for several months without even seeing a trace of the Wild Hunt.

This time she was appointed to preside over colonial affairs. Even if she only did the dirty work for those really connected households during the development period, she must seize this opportunity.

The small goal I have set is to become the archbishop of this diocese and be promoted to a fifth-level legend!

Opportunities are only reserved for those who are prepared. If she wants to seize the opportunity, she must prepare in advance and unite everyone who travels with her, just like what Byron is doing now.

In fact, winning over priests is not fundamentally different from winning over ordinary people.

According to the teachings, they cannot wear luxurious clothes and jewelry, but they must have sophisticated weapons to defend their faith, right?

We should not indulge in enjoyment and advocate frugality and asceticism, but we must always need the finest spices required for daily practice, right?

Any first-level servant-level clergy who goes out to preach will need at least a pure silver or even mithril cross, plus an armor-piercing crossbow that is purchased according to tradition, in the simplest configuration, right?

This is all money!

According to Hermann, the quasi-swordsman of [Wild Hunt Servant] who stayed with her for most of the day.

A seemingly poor and miserable transcendent monk secretly consumes several times more resources and wealth than a wealthy businessman who eats a lot of fish and meat all day long.

Theresa, who often subsidizes other priests with her private money, is naturally under great financial pressure.

And this is what Byron wants.

Click!

Theresa's door closed again, blocking the fanatical eyes of the priests outside, and the warm smile on the nun's face gradually faded.

"Wealth, spices, and various resources are just means for me to achieve my goals, and have never been my pursuit.

But just like a tree always has a process of taking root, sprouting, blooming, and bearing fruit, even gods cannot expect no process, only results.

The premise of achieving a great cause is to make money first!

Money is not omnipotent, but without money is absolutely impossible."

She pretended to continue praying in front of the silver cross, but her consciousness took the initiative to enter the virtual platform-Financial Street through a yellow diamond intermediate membership card.

This street on the line was no longer deserted when she first came here. It was bustling with at least a few thousand new people.

Many people already had the decoration of Red Diamond Junior Member on their heads, and a sense of urgency arose.

Her mind could not help but re-emerge with the words that Mr. Wednesday had said:

"As you can see, this attempt has just begun to test my abilities and is still very simple.

But I believe that it will soon become lively here, and various facilities and services will gradually be improved.

It will eventually become a financial, trade, and logistics center that the entire human world cannot ignore.

By the way, start a wealth creation movement for a group of people who can seize the opportunity, such as you!"

Theresa had already made a solemn vow to her shrunken wallet:

"I will rely on my first-mover advantage as the customer of Financial Street No. 001 to earn a mountain of gold and silver that can support my ideals."

But reality is always contrary to ideals.

She found that she had no business talent, and the biggest deal she had ever made was the indulgence of monopoly.

Even if she was given a large number of cheap and high-quality goods, there was no place or manpower to sell them for cash.

Until Theresa discovered an excellent investment business in the financial street some time ago.

It does not require a complicated business mind at all, just sufficient funds, a keen eye and the blessing of the Creator, and you can use money to make money.

That is.

"It's half past nine, the stock market is open!"

With a call from the financial street, a stock exchange that had just opened not long ago in the core area suddenly lit up the phantom projection screen.

Many doors along the street opened one after another, and one by one, the stockholders, uh, the atmosphere group pushed the door out and rushed to the exchange.

Theresa was naturally among them.

Most of the enthusiasm in the eyes of others is just pretending, but her enthusiasm is not fake at all.

Relying on her petite figure, she squeezed to the front of the line and looked up to see eight stocks displayed on the phantom projection screen:

Code 000001: Hastings Pioneer Pilot Colonial Trade Company; Code 000002: Netherlands Ocean Shipping Company; Code 0000003: Rhine Alliance vs. Bantaan Trading Co., Ltd.

A pair of eyes gleamed with envy:

"Buying stocks is profitable, but these eight companies themselves are the most profitable.

However, these people are really rich. They bought premium memberships not long after the opening of the financial street, which allows them to use their own projects. Or the company will be registered and listed on the Financial Street.

I don’t know how I can package the church I lead and list it on the market to raise money from all over the world.

When the winner chooses our order’s priests to settle in the colony, I will try it. At that time, it will be called ‘Bantaan Cathedral Joint Stock Company’!

I have a hunch that under the leadership of Teresa, the company will open a few more peripheral sections: vegetarian, cross peripherals, clothing, remote prayer, and it will definitely make a lot of money! ”

The membership levels of the Financial Street are mainly divided into: red diamonds, yellow diamonds, and green diamonds, which can also be simply understood as primary, intermediate, and senior members.

At the senior member level, you are eligible to use this online platform to raise funds for your own business or project, share risks, and receive dividends.

And this shareholding operation model is not a very trendy thing. Teresa has already had a concept in her mind.

During the early days of the great voyage, businessmen with limited strength often needed to find partners and investors in order to raise funds for business activities.

Especially for high-return, high-risk business activities such as ocean shipping.

In order to facilitate fund-raising and risk diversification, they distribute the shares of an ocean trade to different investors according to the amount of capital contribution, and the investors share the profits and risks of the enterprise through their capital contribution.

Today, the stock market here has only expanded this model and added the property of tradable trading to stocks.

Anyone who takes money to buy a stock is a shareholder of the company, and trading the stock is the stock market.

In the financial street, you can use your identity to establish a unique account, and you can buy and sell at will, without waiting for the shipping cycle of several months to recover the funds, and you can cash them out at any time.

Of course, it is inevitable that normal business behavior has become a naked speculative market.

Theresa doesn't care about speculation or not, she only knows that this thing makes money quickly.

After observing others for a few days, I saw that more and more people participated, and each of them made a lot of money.

After hearing about winning tricks such as "chasing the rise and killing the fall" and "selling high and buying low" from several members, she finally couldn't help but participate in person.

She also knew the "good man" operation of the Pioneer Navigation Colonial Trading Company to acquire merchant ships. Even if she had some friendship with [Sea Hunter], she would not buy it.

Instead, she listened to the gossip of "insiders" and bought code 0000003: Rhine Alliance vs. Bantaan Trading Co., Ltd.

On the first day, she invested all her hard-earned savings.

After listening to people's advice and eating a full meal, the stock price really rose that day!

Because of the good news, the company undertook the first batch of silver transportation business of the Rhine Alliance Volcanic Silver Mine (Chapter 69), and the stock price rose by 20% in a single day (there is no upper limit or lower limit at the beginning of the stock market).

On the second day, according to the principle of "chasing the rise and killing the fall", she and a group of stock friends she knew continued to chase and invest.

The public funds from selling indulgences for several months, as well as the savings of [Armed Priest] Brandon and Quasi-Sword Saint Hermann, were all invested.

As expected, the stock price continued to rise.

On the third day, which was yesterday, she could not resist the encouragement of several stock friends and the increasing financial pressure on her.

She put all the public funds of the order on the account she temporarily managed.

She even borrowed the maximum leverage of two times that only intermediate members can borrow from the exchange, ready to go all in!

According to the expected increase, the interest generated by the principal alone is enough for her, a third-level extraordinary person, to work for twenty years without eating or drinking.

As long as she wins this time, she will have everything.

In her excitement, she had long forgotten the slogan of the exchange: "The stock market is risky, investment should be cautious."

She stared wide-eyed and waited for the trend chart to update.

At the French window on the top floor of the exchange, Mr. Wednesday and Ms. Friday, who had a panoramic view of all this, each held a red wine glass and gently clinked it.

Catherine looked at her brother who was "gurgling" and emitting bad water, and her eyes that quietly turned into golden vertical pupils were full of admiration:

"The rehearsal of the pig-killing plate went smoothly, you are going to get rich, rich man!"

Byron also smiled and replied:

"You are going to get rich too, little rich woman!"

"By the way, although this is just a rehearsal virtual plate that has not obtained the company's authorization to issue shares, everything else is real, and the market also has a stress response to good or bad news.

Both the staff and the atmosphere group are acting in their true colors, and even Theresa's income in the past few days is a subsidy from our own pockets.

What is spent every day is real money.

However, money can be earned again if it is gone, but conscience is gone"

The brother and sister who personally mobilized thousands of extras and directed a good show smiled at each other and said in unison:

"That will make more money. Hehehe"

"Now, it's time to let Miss Sister know the dangers of the world and the cruelty of the financial market.

Come on, teach her a lesson!"
