Chapter 773 The Holy Spirit (Part 1)

Romon walks through the streets.

This is not a private visit, it is just to get first-hand information.

According to Nick's data, after a thousand druids poured into Yuanfan Port, almost all hotels were full, and consumption more than doubled.

After being stimulated by this, more businessmen flocked in.

Due to the establishment of the Great Temple of the Business Goddess, many merchants have also applied to obtain citizenship qualifications. Now the number of citizens has surged to more than 9,000, and there are also 10,000 people temporarily pouring in. The entire city's population has reached 20,000 during the day and 10,000 at night.

Plus the establishment of the approved adventurer union.

Now, the Mage Tower, Chamber of Commerce, and Adventurers Guild are all complete.

Romon, wearing a wide robe, looked up.

Although after strict planning and sewer channels were established, the garbage in this era was also decomposed garbage, which basically rotted after rushing into the underground tunnel, and there were also cleaners in normal times.

But at this time, it still looked busy and messy. This was mainly because of various temporary stalls, which squeezed the originally very wide streets so narrow.

The smell was not good either. Although the horse manure was cleaned from time to time, the smell of odor never dissipated for a long time. In addition, the smell of sweat and some rotten smell, Romon frowned.

Although he was an ordinary college student on earth and was an ordinary townsman in his early years, he was a little uncomfortable with becoming a social aristocratic class for so many years.

"Whether to ban these unlicensed stalls... Forget it, it's not easy!" Romon thought to himself: "But if this continues, the second planned expansion may start."

Due to the long-term planning, Romon even planned to have 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 does it mean to have 100,000 people? This is not a country that was unified by China, but a small kingdom under the feudal system. I remember that in the 15th century, there were only 40,000 people in London.

The country's royal capital has only 50,000 people every day.

Romon believes that the room left is enough.

At this moment, a caravan passed by and Romon looked up. The caravan had five carriages, and several of them obviously looked like guards and mercenaries.

After the end of the magic disaster, almost half of the adventurers gradually recovered because the trade route required them.

In the distance, the Temple of the Goddess of Business appeared in front of him.

The Temple of the Business Goddess is very busy, and a large number of merchants are coming and going.

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

When they got inside, all the pastors were busy. No pastor came to greet him for a while, and Romon didn't care.

At this time, a merchant was pulling out a piece of paper folded into two stacks and handing it to the priest with a respectful attitude: "This is a bill of exchange of five hundred gold coins, I want to exchange it for gold coins."

The priest looked at it, nodded, touched it with a hint of holy light, and the symbol "Winged Gold Coins" appeared on the paper. This was the mark of the business goddess Miyeji, which proved that the bill of exchange was true.

Only the priest of the goddess of business can make the bill of exchange appear with a holy seal, thus ensuring safety.

"Five hundred standard gold coins, deposit and withdraw once, and the handling fee is one percent. Since you are less than one thousand, you will charge ten gold coins. Are you sure?" the pastor replied.

"Yes, take it out!"

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

Three hundred years ago, after the goddess invented the system of relocation and access to space and standard gold coins, her influence expanded rapidly.

The so-called remote storage and access space system means that you store gold or silver in a space specially opened in the Goddess Kingdom, and then the local priest will open a bill of exchange to prove how much silver and gold you have indeed deposited.

When traveling, you can just bring this bill of exchange. As long as there is a temple of goddesses and a priest in any place, you can take out an equal amount of gold or silver.

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

The merchant took the pocket and dragged it away heavily. Naturally, his guard was waiting outside.

"Sir, what's wrong with you?" The pastor took a breath and went up to Romon and said, obviously, it seems that being a priest of the goddess of business is not easy, especially in the city.

"I am Romon, and I have an appointment." Romon said, following two servants behind him.

"...Ah, it turns out that it is Lord Lord. Please come in quickly. The Archbishop is already waiting for you inside!" The priest said immediately.

Sure enough, when I got inside, Memimi had already greeted me.

When I got inside, there was a gust of air conditioning, which was equivalent to a magic air conditioning.

After splitting the guest and sitting down on the sofa, Romon asked: "Memimi, how are you doing about the ship?"

Now everyone is very familiar with each other. If you are welcome, I won’t say it. Romon once asked her to deal with her ship in full.

"I have sent someone to inspect it. In addition to the warships, there are also eleven medium-sized flat-bottomed double-brig sailboats, which can be used as the main merchant ship."

"These sailboats can become merchant ships of the Chamber of Commerce. Your own chamber of commerce now has four medium-sized sailboats. You can make ten and form a standard merchant ship fleet. Let me give you the other five? I will 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 within this range." Memimi said simply.

"Where are other ships?"

"Other ships are small or pirate ships, which are not suitable for sailing far away. Except for retaining some as patrol fleets, others can be sold to small chambers of commerce or act as fishing boats. I will deal with these for you. In total, you will receive a total of 90,000 gold coins in cash."

"Ninety thousand? Then you can help me pay back all the loan, how many more is left?"

"Twenty-five thousand gold coins." Memimi said, and she thought about it and asked, "By the way, I heard that the shipbuilding workshop is about to start construction?"

"Yes, construction is going to start. I'm going to build two warships, which will take two years."

"Then, build one for me, too?" Memimi said.

Romon's eyebrows jumped. Strictly speaking, Romon himself had no right to own warships before, and had to use the name of the Fifth Fleet until he became an earl, so he could just establish the "Tathasha Fleet" or "Giant Eagle Fleet" with a large warship-class ship.

Although the Chamber of Commerce has a title of lord and can be armed, this is not within the scope of permission!

"Romon, you want to build a warship. I have a set of drawings. It is a four-masted warship of the Governor-class, which can accommodate 225 warriors. It is a first-class warship now."

"I heard that you have a large number of druids who can practice diamond wood. In this way, you may turn the ship into a powerful warship."

"Ironwood, by casting spells, makes wood as strong as iron, but it only has the weight of wood. However, this is a level six spell, and it is not cost-effective to use druids above level 11." Romon said, shaking his head: "Also, your request really makes me embarrassed, it will destroy the order of the territory."

"It's okay to have a warship, I can give you a special approval to let your local church own a warship like this. How about it?" Seeing that Memimi was a little disappointed, Romon pondered for a moment and said.

"...This is OK, then you can build three ships at the same time in your shipbuilding workshop!"

“The craftsman is a little nervous.”

"It doesn't matter, there are also some craftsmen in the people I brought."

"Then I decided like this... By the way, I have been here for a while. Are you okay now?" Romon nodded and asked.

"It's pretty good. I didn't expect your city to flourish. This city alone has digested half of my pastors, and my chamber of commerce has also gained its foothold."

"After you obtained your permission, I established an altar in five towns and sent people to preside over it. Now I have basically worked, and your city is expanding further, and maybe there is still a problem of insufficient staff!" Memimi said with a smile.

"Most of the Kingdom of Fes is a landlocked country, with only a small piece of the ocean, and we are a coastal kingdom, so business is indeed relatively prosperous." Romon smiled.

He paused and said, "If there were no elves' coastal plunder... By the way, Memimi, how do you think about elves?"

Now, the information about the True God appears in the elves and has spread rapidly. Except for the leaders, all the middle and upper classes know about this news.

Memimi frowned and thought for a while, saying, "This is hard to evaluate. Indeed, this is a big deal. How to deal with it is God's business. But from my position, I hope that the elves can live safely on overseas islands and never come back. Of course, trade is OK and necessary."

Romon couldn't help laughing. According to the information he obtained, at least more than half of the people did not care much about the elves.

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

For nearly a thousand years, elves have been completely at a disadvantage and the threat to humans is getting smaller and smaller. Correspondingly, humans have gradually forgotten their hatred for elves.

However, the immortal will not forget.

After a pause, Memimi said again: "And, this has nothing to do with you, right?"

"Why doesn't it matter? Once a war breaks out, my fleet has to obey the order and go up to fight. The most important thing is that my territory is on the coast and may suffer..." Romon said with some worries: "And for me, I don't want to participate in this battle myself."

"Your worries make sense, but if you don't want to fight, no one can force you." Memimi saw that Romon was a little puzzled and couldn't help saying, "Didn't your wife tell you about the Holy Spirit?"

"Oh, she is only level seven, she has only entered level seven, and the church has not told her about this level yet." Memimi said in a daze.
