Nora has only one purpose in returning to Sauer Island this time, and that is to complete the important ascension ceremony and begin to learn to master certain powers that only gods have.
Although there are indeed some unlucky guys in this world, such as someone who inexplicably picks up the godhead and directly becomes a god.
But most existences have encountered very severe tests when crossing this threshold, such as attacks from certain enemies, or some kind of test from the world.
Therefore, it is very important for these beings to choose a reasonable place when making a breakthrough. Because if the place is not chosen correctly, they may suffer a fatal blow at a critical moment.
Although Lawrence's house on the island is indeed the most defensive building on the island, it can be said that it is still fragile when faced with this situation.
For Nora, who is preparing to hold her own ascension ceremony, these defenses are not much different from no defense at all. On the contrary, she will be restrained because the place is too close to a densely populated area.
More importantly, these places are all located on the seaside, and can easily be included in the attack range of enemies that infiltrate from outside the island.
So after careful consideration, Nora simply chose the Blue Mountain area, which although it seemed defenseless, was sparsely populated, vast and had complex terrain, so that if something happened, it would be easier to deal with it.
.
And the clergy and church staff who sent Nora back to the island were quite familiar with handling such matters.
Because those Orthodox churches often have some saints who will hold this type of ascension ceremony, so after Nora entered the Blue Mountains in the center of the island, these clergy who knew that the gods they served had recognized Nola's existence also
Then we came to the area around Blue Mountain and began to set up defenses.
At the beginning, Steward Bayer, who was the general person in charge of the island, wanted to mobilize troops to help enter the grasslands under the Blue Mountains and enter a defensive state, but was later persuaded to retreat by members of the church.
Because the members of the church believe that if a battle really breaks out in these core areas, it will be very fierce. Ordinary people and even low-level supernatural beings who are not prepared accordingly are not very suitable to be involved in such a situation. Even mid-level and high-level supernatural beings find it cruel.
in the war.
Therefore, under the persuasion of these church members, the troops on Sauer Island did not enter the Blue Mountain Meadow area for defense, but chose to station themselves scattered along multiple coastlines of the island.
According to experienced church members, in addition to some high-level transcendent beings who may launch attacks, there are also many low-level monsters that will be attracted and then also launch attacks on the island. Therefore, these ordinary troops can intercept those monsters.
Low level enemies.
More importantly, this kind of scattered army can block key points and block most low-level enemies, but it can also miss high-level enemies.
.In this way, they will not suffer large-scale casualties by joining wars that do not belong to them in the first place.
Indeed, the troops on Sauer Island are able to never back down before receiving orders when facing powerful enemies, and stick to their oath to fight to the death.
However, in this obviously unnecessary situation, everyone does not want this elite force to be wasted on the battlefield.
"I really didn't expect that little guy Nora to face such a severe situation." After listening to Lawrence's explanation, Saphiel said with a long sigh.
In the previous interactions, she and the little doll had a very good relationship, so at this time, Saphiel was naturally a little worried about the little doll subconsciously.
"After all, this is a ceremony to become a god. Although Nora will not become a god even if she completes this ritual, she has taken an important step in transforming a mortal into a god." Lawrence also sighed and said.
"As far as I know, if this ritual can be carried out smoothly, Nora's level will be significantly improved. Compared with the benefits after the improvement, it is naturally acceptable to take this level of risk."
Soon, the time came to the next day. It has to be said that for most people, interests are the most motivating thing.
Because in just one night, almost all the noble territories around New Sauer Island expressed their desire to cooperate, and the colonial governors who belonged to the territories directly under certain countries also stated that they would respond after asking for instructions from the mainland.
"I have never seen this group of people move so fast." Seeing telegrams being sent one after another, Saifei said to Lawrence with emotion while translating the telegrams.
"It seems like what you said, even the slowest people will act quickly when faced with interests." She held up a telegram and said.
"You see, this Baron Pierce is a typical example. Last time we hoped to obtain the right to use their port, it took a full two weeks to get it done, but now it only took him one night to complete the summary and send it to us.
A tally of all products available for sale on the island.”
"Isn't this normal?" Lawrence said with a smile and a shrug.
"Don't look at the fact that when we approached them to do some things before, they always used the excuse that the lord was older and the approval process was slower. But in a situation like this where we can see more money, I can guarantee that they will
His movements are faster than that cool guy in his twenties."
"It sounds really helpless, but that's life." Saifei finally concluded, "Although I still don't adapt to their approach, but from another perspective, they also helped us a lot.
A favor."
The reason why Seifer said this is also very simple, because after these noble lords have counted all the specialties in their territories, it will naturally be greatly reduced for Lawrence and others to make next plans.
Especially with the help of Shu Mei, it only took them one day to summarize all the data and obtain specific data about the production of each territory in New Saul Island.
However, on the subsequent issue of coordinating how much goods each territory would deliver, everyone spent more than three days discussing before reluctantly reaching a temporary basic agreement.
In this agreement, everyone divides their respective proportions of shipment quantity and content in the subsequent trade based on a series of contents such as strength, quantity and type of items produced in the territory.
Of course, considering that Lawrence was the initiator of this agreement, he also received a lot of remuneration. If the territory's own quota is included, he got 1/4 of the market share in this trade.
However, the reason why everyone is willing to give up these shares is that in addition to Lawrence himself being the core person in this cross-regional trade, another important reason is that the products he sells are unique and do not compete with others.
To give the simplest example, Lawrence only has a small amount of food to sell because he has to supply the surrounding islands. Therefore, the goods he currently uses for trade mainly come from drugs produced by drug research centers and hospitals.
Compared with food, these drugs occupy very little space and tonnage in transportation, but their value is much higher than that of food.
Therefore, in this case, New Saul Island can free up more tonnage for people in other territories, and this is why those people are willing to let Lawrence occupy more shares.
More importantly, drugs can be regarded as core necessities in various regions. Selling these drugs that are obviously effective in the market can not only make money, but also leave a very good reputation in the region.
