And without pesticides, pests are pretty scary.
In some wild areas without the blessing of gods, half of the crops grown by the wild tribes were fed by pests.
In the kingdoms and empires of the Continent of the Gods, eliminating harm is a matter for magicians.
Every church magician specializes in pest-killing magic.
However, the Fire Empire did not send any church magicians to eliminate the pests, but there was not a single pest in sight. This puzzled Empress Tina.
Meng Ying said: "I don't know the specific reason, but I think it's because my god sent a blessing."
"God's blessing?"
Empress Tina repeated it and couldn't help but ask: "Your Excellency Mengying, how big is the area of the Fire Empire now?"
She couldn't help but be curious.
God's blessing can indeed eliminate harm and promote growth, but the biggest problem is the coverage area.
And the blessings from the gods need to be done regularly.
With an area as large as the Evernight Empire, separated by the barrier of heaven, even if the Goddess of Evernight wants to send blessings on a large scale, she is probably not willing to do so.
The consumption is too great.
It would be better to let a large number of magicians from the church remove harm and promote growth.
This is also the reason why Empress Tina asked.
After hearing Empress Tina's words, Mengying pondered for a moment.
She had already discussed it with the fox girl Qing Ling.
This time when Empress Tina comes to visit, some things about the Flame Empire may not be hidden, and there is no need to hide them anymore.
After all, the Eternal Night Empire will not expand, and judging from Empress Dina's attitude, there is no threat to the Flame Empire.
So, after thinking for a while, Mengying said:
"Your Excellency Dina, I didn't tell you the truth last time. In fact, we have conquered a small empire and three kingdoms in the northeast. The current Flame Empire has a total of eighteen provinces, which is almost 30,000 miles long from east to west, and from north to south. Nearly ten thousand miles!”
After hearing Mengying's words, Empress Tina's beautiful eyes slowly widened.
Chapter 0358 This empire is so different! (two)
A team of tens of thousands of people marched toward the capital of the Flame Empire.
This team was walking on a straight road built from the capital to the western border.
This straight road extends from the western border of the Flame Empire to Yan Province. In the future, it will run through the endless desert and connect the thirteen provinces in the northeast.
In order to build this road, the Fire Empire mobilized a large number of magicians and many powerful temple knights.
In addition, many orcs also joined in.
With the cooperation of these magicians and temple knights, the Flame Empire opened mountains and built bridges when encountering water. This straight road was completed in a few months after the Flame Empire mobilized millions of civilians to build it.
Such speed was unimaginable even before Lin Yan traveled through time.
This is the power of magic.
Like some big rocks, if Lin Yan traveled through them, they would need to be specially blasted, but here, a sixth-level temple knight only needs to cut them into half and throw them away.
Some small hills can be removed directly with earth magic, or a path can be burned directly with fire magic.
When encountering some big mountains and needing to dig tunnels, Mengying took action personally, blasting with flames to create a tunnel directly in the mountains.
The efficiency is simply too fast.
Of course, the western part of the Fire Empire is relatively flat to begin with, and there are not many road sections that require special treatment.
This straight road is also very wide, more than 60 meters wide.
On the straight road, there was an endless stream of caravans. These were caravans formed by the nobles of the Flame Empire, and they looked like a prosperous scene.
On the exquisite carriage, Empress Tina was still digesting Mengying's words.
It wasn't just the Fire Empire's expansion speed that surprised her.
And the methods of the Lord of Fire.
Such a large country does not rely on church magicians to promote growth and eliminate pests. The blessings sent by the Lord of Fire himself can make the crops in the entire Fire Empire grow quickly and without pests!
Even her sister, the goddess of eternal night at the peak of the third level, cannot do such a method!
Along the way, Empress Tina paid special attention.
In the endless land, there is indeed no magician casting spells.
This shows that the Fire Lord is probably more powerful than she imagined.
Moreover, some of the Flame Lord's ideas made Empress Tina see something different.
For example, Empress Tina originally thought that these lands belonged to the royal family or some big nobles.
But later she learned that these lands were actually reclaimed by a large number of civilians.
Every civilian in the Flame Empire owns a large area of land, which makes the civilians in the Flame Empire richer than the civilians in the Eternal Night Empire.
The civilians working in the fields would send prayers to the Lord of Flame every once in a while, praising the Lord of Flame for his greatness and generosity.
This kind of scene is rare even in the Evernight Empire.
The Eternal Night Empire is still an empire in the standard sense on the Continent of the Gods. The nobles are the cornerstone of the entire country. Under the requirements of the royal family and the church, the nobles do not treat civilians too harshly, and the civilians live quite well.
But compared with the civilians of the Fire Empire, it was far behind.
The gap at the civilian level is already large enough.
At the aristocratic level, there is also a gap.
Although the nobles of the Flame Empire are not as wealthy as the nobles of the Eternal Night Empire on an overall level, the spiritual outlook of these nobles is completely different.
On that flat straight road, Empress Dina saw many small and medium-sized nobles who personally led the team. From their conversations, many of them were full of admiration for the Lord of Fire.
These nobles seem to have devout faith in the Lord of Fire!
As the empress of a large empire, Empress Dina knows these nobles very well.
The nobles are not as easy to fool as the common people, and the religious beliefs of the nobles are often not as pious as those of the common people.
But in the Flame Empire, the religious piety of the nobles is no less than that of the common people.
This is a bit surprising.
Often, only by completely identifying with a god from the bottom of your heart, rather than being frightened by the god's majesty, power and other external factors, will your faith become as pious as the nobles and commoners of the Flame Empire.
And this kind of piety is rarely seen even by Empress Tina.
At least, the civilians and nobles of the Eternal Night Empire cannot achieve such a degree of piety!
"This Lord of Fire is indeed a bit unusual."
Empress Tina thought.
In the next half month, the huge visiting group continued to penetrate deep into the territory of the Flame Empire.
Empress Dina, accompanied by Mengying, would enter every city she visited to experience it.
The cities in the four western provinces of the Flame Empire have all been renovated. The sewer systems and sanitation systems are quite good. Every city is clean and tidy!
Even civilians rarely litter the city streets.
And it’s not just one city.
This is true in most cities.
Such consciousness is rare in the Evernight Empire.
In addition, something called newspapers appeared in the city. These newspapers sold very well and were loved by many nobles and literate civilians. They told many of the recent major events in the Fire Empire.
And at least a quarter of every newspaper's page is devoted to the anecdotes of some devout believers.
These are actually soft articles in disguise.
Empress Dina had people collect a lot of newspapers and read them with great interest.
In addition, Empress Dina also noticed something.
That is, there is a school in every city in the Flame Empire.
These schools do not teach advanced knowledge.
But the simplest thing.
Be literate!
The most important thing is that these schools are completely free!
Whether they are commoners or children of nobles, they can enter these schools for free.
At the same time, the rapidly expanding Fire Empire required a large number of officials, and the Fire Empire did not select officials directly from talents recommended by the nobles like other empires.
Instead, a special examination system was adopted.
