Olivia feels that using Kaer Morhen as a base for development is like playing the game "Civilization". The style of the game system seems to have changed from the original role-playing game to a farming strategy game. World Wonders can also add buffs to your own forces.
It can be said that without the assistance of the game system, she would not have been able to develop the originally barren and desolate Kaer Morhen into the rich and prosperous place it is now within a few years of "hosting idle".
Of course, Kaer Morhen may not be able to compare with those old big cities, such as Vizima, the capital of Temeria, or the Golden Tower City, the imperial capital of the Nilfgaard Empire, or the Free City. Novigrad.
Among them, Novigrad is indeed very prosperous and famous. It is a free city located in Redania. It is the largest city and main port in the north.
Novigrad is often called the capital of the world by northerners, and for good reason.
The city's astonishing wealth, influence and strategic importance have made the city coveted by all countries. In Emperor Emhyr's plan, Novigrad will also be conquered by him.
People of different professions and races gather in this city. There are almost 30,000 residents here, not counting the business travelers and visitors who come here. The main roads were paved with stone, it had a harbor, warehouses, four watermills, slaughterhouses, sawmills, a huge shoe factory, and every other trade you could imagine. . There was a mint, eight banks, and nineteen pawnshops; but the only drawback was that the city was uncivilized.
Therefore, the city's spectacular buildings and commercial facilities are inhabited by cultists named Eternal Fire. The fate of the city is firmly in the hands of local cult leaders and temple guards, who use superstition to control more and more of the city's residents.
It is strictly prohibited to wear any symbols of other gods, perform other religious rituals or preach here. The only thing residents can believe in in Novigrad is the Eternal Fire. Activities involving other religions will be regarded as heresy and will be severely punished by law (public burning).
All in all, the Eternal Fire Sect has a very large influence in this city and has a temple built on a small island, which is also called Temple Island.
In the words of the city's citizens, "Whatever you want, you can find it in Novigrad. Zerikan spices? It's here. Swords forged in ancient dwarven forges? No problem, buy one, get one free. Toussaint wine ? You can have whatever you want - as long as you have money, as long as you have plenty of money."
As a free city, the city council established its own currency and units of measurement. Through these, Novigrad can ensure its trading position on this continent.
In the fierce confrontation between the North and the South, the economies of various countries have been severely impacted, and the currency with the most guaranteed value now is the krona minted in Novigrad.
Although Novigrad is not a country, as a free commercial city-state, Novigrad's economy is prosperous, and the value of the krona has naturally increased. It is now the only universal payment method for northern merchants and nobles. , townspeople and ordinary farmers, or Nilfgaardian quartermasters, dwarf bankers, prostitutes, and of course witchers, all are accepted.
Olivia was currently sitting in a rather luxurious carriage, heading to the free city of Novigrad to discuss a business deal.
After several years of growth, Olivia has completely become a great beauty. She has long silver hair that reaches her waist. She always wears fashionable clothes designed by herself, which not only conforms to the aesthetics of this world, but also It also has an artistic sense that other designers simply cannot design...
In terms of jewelry, she also innovates and uses technology to create "glass". She dares to speculate this kind of jewelry to the price of gold. In fact, its cost should not be too low. She relies on this to make huge profits.
All in all, the clothing designed by Princess Olivia, the "Pearl of the North", has become a very popular brand in the world. The users it targets are those aristocratic ladies and ladies who are particularly wealthy. Obviously the cost of a piece of clothing is not How high, but due to the brand value, selling one often makes Olivia a huge profit.
Princess Olivia, who originally wanted to be the empress, actually used all the savings of those wolf school demon hunters to set up a chamber of commerce in order to make it a purse for her own power in the future. As a result, she herself What no one expected was that this chamber of commerce would actually grow bigger and bigger, and the annual dividends given to those Wolf School demon hunters made it seem like they no longer had to go through the days of licking blood.
This is not unimaginable, because no matter which world or era you are in, if you can have your own exclusive products and have high technical barriers, how can other chambers of commerce compete with it
It is true that some chambers of commerce have resorted to outside recruitment, but unfortunately, they have encountered the ironclad. The witchers resolutely safeguard the interests of the Olivia Chamber of Commerce. After all, they are all shareholders of the chamber of commerce.
In addition, Olivia is Geralt's adopted daughter. After living in Kaer Morhen for so long, they have long regarded her as their own relative. Now she can bring such huge changes to Kaer Morhen and improve The life of all Wolf School demon hunters at least eliminates the need to risk their lives to hunt monsters, and they are all very grateful to Olivia in their hearts.
Now, for all wolf school demon hunters, hunting monsters will only be a hobby, just like hunting, rather than something that must be done in order to survive.
Olivia created a legendary "mercenary union" based on the settings of the fantasy novels she often read, and then regulated various mercenary groups and mercenary squads, and released tasks.
Although mercenaries were not as good as the professional army in her mind, they could still be miraculous at certain times.
This time Olivia came to Novigrad with the apparent purpose of negotiating a raw material business. Kaer Morhen, which is increasingly developing into an industrialized city, needs a variety of raw materials, such as iron ore and copper ore. Stone, coal mines, timber, etc., she will accept all comers, and the real purpose is naturally to expand the influence of the Olivia Chamber of Commerce to Novigrad, and eventually even control such a coveted city through financial means. The city of freedom!
Once this goal is achieved, Olivia's power will no longer be short of money!
