Black Tide City.
As a new city born from the corpse of the old corrupt city-state, it still has many difficulties to face.
The first thing to be solved is the food problem that has existed since the time of Ryan Rondo.
Food is the foundation of a civilization.
After Rogge bloodily cleansed almost all the extraordinary families on the island, Chergen took over all their inheritance at his instruction.
The first thing he had to do, naturally, was to feed the former slaves and civilians.
However, even if the major families have abundant food reserves, it is impossible to keep opening the granaries and eating up all the food. The important thing is to organize everyone and create new food sources.
Fortunately, Chergen did a good job on this point.
After receiving several functional potion formulas from the Lord of the Black Tide, he quickly began to train new extraordinary people.
Things like ripening farmers, blacksmiths and the like, all the things that can be arranged will be arranged.
The management of the Black Tide City also requires talents. Fortunately, Chergen is not the first person in this regard. There is also the Deweis family.
As long as they no longer carry the customs and habits of the original extraordinary families, Chergen doesn't mind using them.
all in all.
Everything in Black Tide City is gradually getting back on track.
The people, who used to have numbness and pain in their eyes, now have light in their eyes.
Although they still looked so weak and thin, Chergen had seen new hope in this old city.
"Praise the Lord of the Black Tide!"
Two former slaves passing by smiled at each other and spoke piously, with hope for life in their eyes.
…
"The number of believers is increasing quite fast..."
Looking at the faith interface, Rogge couldn't help but scratch his head.
He originally thought that the system and methods he implemented would reduce the number of believers and the power of faith, but now it seems that this is not the case.
In fact, you will know if you think about it.
You are a slave, starving and clothed all day long, living a precarious life, and being oppressed and insulted from time to time.
And at this moment, a man appeared and swept away all the injustice and oppression.
Not only does he give you the freedom you never dared to expect before, he also gives you dignity and hope to live, and even to go further and wider.
… In this case, even if he said that he did not need anyone to worship him or believe in him, you would instinctively regard him as a god.
The people of Black Tide City are in such a situation now.
They instinctively regarded Rogue and the Lord of the Black Tide as their saviors and even spiritual sustenance.
Therefore, it is not surprising that the number of believers and the power of faith have skyrocketed.
Maybe after some time, Rogge will be able to gather enough faith to study the angel potion.
Of course, Rogge didn't know whether there would be a decrease in the future.
Thinking of this, Rogge couldn't help but think of the three destinations he would arrive at later.
If they're all the same as the old Ryan Rondo situation...
Rogge frowned and thought for a moment, then shook his head: "No, it's better not to force it. Black Tide City is only just getting back on track, and more problems have yet to be exposed..."
After he massacred Ryan Rondo, he also talked a lot with Chergen.
From him, Roger learned that Ryan Rondo was a relatively poor place.
There is less land here, but there are more monsters nearby. Moreover, the Ryan Rondo family completed the domination and integration of various major families very early, and the degree of blood-sucking for the entire city-state is unmatched by other city-states.
In other words, the situation in other city-states may not be as bad as Ryan Rondo...
"We'll take it one step at a time and see what happens when the time comes."
Roger put away the planning paper on the table.
Before leaving, he still took away some of the Ryan Rondo family's savings, but most of them were some extraordinary materials he needed, and he didn't think much of the rest.
Let’s go and make the self-sacrifice potion first.
…
Magrela.
As the first island to worship the Lord of the Kuroshio, the islanders now live a relatively happy life.
As an ordinary woman on the island, Winnie can truly feel this.
She felt that since the belief in the Lord of the Black Tide became popular in Magrela, the entire atmosphere of Magrela had completely changed.
In the past, when the Church of Kiz, the Church of Nature, and other churches were everywhere, some horror rumors would appear from time to time on the island, such as former acquaintances being eaten by monsters, distant relatives’ sons encountering shipwrecks while going out to sea, and old friends having affairs with believers of the Church of Kiz being discovered by their husbands...
Anyway, bad things will never stop.
Moreover, as civilians, they have to be careful of believers who appear on the island from time to time.
This doesn’t mean that believers will kill or commit crimes…
The point is... they want money!
Although it is euphemistically called "God's blessing" or something like that, in the final analysis it just costs money.
And when there were many churches, they were one after another. After the Church of Kiz, there was another church...
Add to that the taxes that already exist on a daily basis, who can afford this
But it would be fine if these churches took money to do the work. After all, there were quite a few monsters involved in Magrela's work.
For example, shallow-sea catfish monsters and sand vipers appear from time to time, and even brain-eating ghosts in cemeteries occasionally appear.
If the believers who possess great power can eliminate these monsters, then they will pay the money with gritted teeth.
But the reality is that these believers are more ruthless than each other in collecting money, but they don't care about the monsters at all.
When he heard someone reporting that monsters were hurting people, he nodded and said "OK", but in fact he turned his head and covered his ears and said he didn't hear it.
The publicity comes one after another, overwhelming and endless.
The main point is to take money but not do the job.
There were monsters when I didn't pay, and there were still monsters after I paid. So didn't I pay in vain
However, due to the silver power of the believers and the knights of faith, they, the common people, could only swallow their anger.
In fact, some of them also thought that if they couldn't win, they would join the church, become a member of the church, and become an oppressor.
However, imagination is beautiful.
Take the Kiz Church for example, it is not enough to just have faith, you have to be devout!
What is piety
You have to put the gold coins into the pocket of the believer who is responsible for recruiting new members. That is called piety.
So, you, an ordinary person, still want to join the church? Still want to eat meat with us
You are so beautiful!
… Never mind, as long as I'm alive.
Most civilians can only live day by day and accept this kind of life.
but.
This situation has changed completely since the Black Tide Secret Society expelled other churches.
After they took over the entire Magrela, instead of being condescending, they opened the door to them.
Not only did they recruit young civilians to clean up the monsters, they also took the initiative to give them some special prayers.
For example, giving people the ability to ripen fruits quickly.
This is unbelievable to many people.
This is power, extraordinary power!
In the past, the believers and masters always used it to show "miracles" in front of them.
Now they are actually giving them seals and prayers
It's just like a dream...
This… Are there any churches like this? Give me a dozen!
Isn’t it just paying money
pay!
Pay it to me! Take it! (Snap a photo of the bank card.jpg)
Without monsters, the quality of life of civilians has improved dramatically.
Winnie was actually very worried before... After all, "Lord of the Black Tide" doesn't sound like a good name, it sounds like an evil god.
Now it seems…
Praise the Lord of the Black Tide!
Moreover, the people in the Black Tide Secret Society never abuse their power, and the rules there are very strict.
In the past, if you looked at a believer for a second longer, you might be accused of being a heretic or a witch.
And now, some brave children even dare to touch the armor of the Black Tide Knight.
There is one thing that is hard to understand. There are only a dozen Black Tide Knights on the island, but they seem to patrol more often than the previous Kizz Knights...
"Wow, so handsome!"
"How cool! I want to be a Black Tide Knight when I grow up!"
"Mom, I want to wear the Black Tide Knight Armor!"
…
"Ha ha… "
Wei Bu smiled silently under the Black Tide Knight's visor, and the corners of his mouth were almost stretched to his ears.
As a former traitor and current senior member of the Black Tide Conclave, he is naturally qualified to wear this set of knight armor.
…This knight armor was remade by melting and forging the knight armor of the Church of Giz and the Church of Nature.
However, the appearance style was transformed into the characteristics of the Kuroshio Secret Society, with black as the main body, some places supplemented with dark purple, some cloth decorations hanging on each shoulder, and the obvious logo of the Kuroshio Secret Society on the chest.
Anyway, very handsome.
According to Boss Sharo, it seemed to be a gift from the Lord of the Black Tide, but he didn't care.
In the past, what he hated to deal with the most were the church knights.
Now it seems…
It’s finally his turn to wear such cool knight armor!
We must come out to patrol vigorously, clear out monsters, and show our power!
Under the mask, Wei Bu enjoyed the praises of the children outside the heavy armor and the gazes of the ladies in the distance.
"Hey, you can't touch there!"
After feeling a dishonest little hand, Wei Bu subconsciously shrank back and quickly spoke in a serious tone.
Webb was very happy.
But in comparison, his boss was much calmer.
In other words, they need to consider more.
"A large church war broke out on the Mother Goddess's land, with many churches participating..."
After reading the report in his hand, Tariq was thoughtful.
"The Church of Kitz must have been involved as well. No wonder their revenge has been delayed so far."
Although Magrela is a large island with a large population, it is ultimately just a small island in the border area and is not even ranked in the entire Sea of Repentance.
It is no wonder that the Church of Kiz acted nonchalant after suffering a setback and turned around to deal with more important things.
And because of this, the retaliatory action that the Black Tide Secret Society had been wary of has yet to arrive.
It was not until today that they received this information from the newly established intelligence network and learned the reason.
"That's great. We can take this opportunity to spread the faith of the Lord of the Black Tide."
"We can put aside the issue of combat effectiveness for now and focus on helping Magrela develop..."
Sarah rubbed her brows and felt a little tired.
She has too many things to do now.
Although it is a free island, there has always been a management system on the island.
But the Lord of the Black Tide instructed him to dismantle and reorganize it directly.
Because in Rogge's view, the original management system was basically a leech.
On almost every island in the Sea of Confession, the church coexists with the local management system.
In other words, the original Magrela Island had not only the church and its subordinate believers and knights, but also the lord and his managers.
The church is not stupid either. The lords can cooperate with some of the original nobles to help them better control the territory and gain benefits after reaching a deal, while they focus on spreading the faith, which is a win-win situation for both parties.
The lords can use this to bully others, so some insects are always happy to do this.
Anyway, it is the civilians who pay more, not them.
However, Rogge doesn't want such meaningless things to appear in his faith. He needs to cultivate more talents.
If those insects were left alone, they would just continue to suck blood through the Black Tide Secret Society's skin, which in Rogge's eyes was no different from sucking his own blood.
Therefore, lords and nobles, just hand over your lands and be good citizens. If you are not honest, then go and reason with the Knight Sword.
"The forging department is too busy again."
"They keep saying they're short of people."
Tariq took another report.
Sara rubbed her brows and said with a headache: "Then recruit more... Reduce the budget of the Black Tide Knights..."
"Anyway, Webb won't make a fuss as long as he's wearing armor..."
Sarah felt helpless.
There is no way. Their Lord is different from other gods. He requires that every civilian in his territory has a mark to use.
This is a huge expense.
Fortunately, He did not make any rigid requirements, but only asked them to popularize it as much as possible.
Limited by the materials, Sarah has tried her best to make the mark more civilian and simple. Anyway, as long as it has the function, He will not say anything.
However, even so, the supply of manpower and materials is still relatively tight.
After all, it is an island and there are only so many resources.
"The Lord of the Black Tide is truly... completely different from the other gods..."
Sarah couldn't help but sigh helplessly.
She thought that after becoming a follower of the Lord of the Black Tide and being promoted to an agent, she would become a high-level combat force and her life would be easy.
But it turned out that she was overthinking it.
Now she is as tired as a donkey all day long, but she still falls for it. After all, she became a rebel because she couldn't stand the church's secret evil methods of harming civilians.
Now she is very happy to see that life on the island is getting better.
"Huh..."
After finishing the task at hand, Sarah stretched herself. After working all day, a transcendent would also be physically and mentally tired.
"Boss Sarah."
At this time, there was a knock on the door, and at Sarah's instruction, a subordinate came in.
"What's up?"
Sarah frowned slightly.
It's not that she dislikes this subordinate, but his arrival symbolizes that there are more important matters that need to be dealt with immediately.
"A fisherman found a person drifting on the sea while fishing."
“He is an extraordinary person.”
One ball a day!
