As long as there is money to be made, there are goblins... Fortune Goddess Chamber of Commerce, well, in fact, there is not much difference between the two, anyway, as long as there are gold coins, they exist almost everywhere.
Beyana, the goddess of wealth, is a god who takes wealth and business as its clergy, but the biggest difference from other churches is that her pastors are basically part-time businessmen, and even many of them are businessmen.
This goddess likes successful businessmen who can make money, and especially appreciates the brand-new business model and market, and regards it as an important criterion for gaining her favor. Any successful business operation is an expansion and interpretation of her teachings. Holy water, healing potions and other routine services will not be mentioned. Every goddess of wealth has a department store in her bag, and you can see all kinds of goods. Even their goddess has created a space god specially for storage and trading. technique.
But unlike the goblins who always make trouble, the priests of the goddess of wealth are very popular everywhere. After all, they do not simply earn wealth for themselves, but create a source of wealth to produce wealth. There is nothing like an emerging business route and wealth. The place of origin can be more favored by the goddess, but the most outstanding priests of the goddess of wealth themselves do not care how much money they have, and they will promote the circulation of wealth when they are spent.
Kind of hard to understand? There was once a typical example, the backcountry corridor to the Icewind Valley area where there is a freezing period of at least 300 days a year, where there are only very powerful ice monsters, and it is impossible for crops to live, but there is a very Delicious ice lake fish, but no one would trek in ice and snow for half a year just to eat a fish.
However, a priest of the goddess of wealth actually discovered that the long-tailed fish bones are crystal clear, just like crystals, and there has always been a local custom of processing fish bones into handicrafts, bone combs made of ancestral craftsmanship. Quality art has its own style. It is said that combing hair for a long time is also good for hair and cervical vertebrae. As a result, through a series of marketing, such as inviting famous city lords to wear handicrafts from the mainland border to important banquets, and hyping prices at auctions , abruptly turned this worthless bone comb into a rare item in the center of the mainland.
And what followed was that every year the caravan traveled thousands of miles to get bone products. The local area also had new sources of money, and a new trade route was born as a result, and the ordinary priest was also influenced by the goddess. He is Archbishop Finn of Orles Diocese, the largest diocese of the goddess of wealth.
The goddess of wealth priests may not have money themselves, but they are never short of money. On the other hand, the more frequent the use of commerce and currency, the more perfect the goddess of wealth will be, and she will become more powerful.
In fact, Beyana is also famous for her aversion to war. For her, stable commerce and trade are good. All Beyana's priests will also work hard to put out the fuse of war. Once war, plague , violence, killing and other priesthoods will rise, and the priests of those gods will make trouble everywhere.
If the war is raging, literature, music and other "civilian" priesthoods will inevitably suffer, and even the hind legs of divine power will appear, but neither the gods themselves nor their believers lack the ability to act. In a sense, Beja Na is also the backbone of the anti-war camp.
And in the declaration of the gods, the goddess of wealth, who has always been an anti-war faction, was the first to declare war, as an iron core of the Death God faction, which surprised many people.
But at this point, in fact, the biggest gainer is the goddess of wealth.
The clergy of business includes the concept of "currency". The tokens guaranteed by official reputation are regarded as general equivalents. With currencies that can be exchanged in any region, there are extensions such as "finance", "futures", and "stock market". The emergence of the concept can further strengthen the concept of wealth. In other words, if there is a true god on the "earth" plane, money worship is rampant, various economic forms are developed, and the goddess of wealth is probably already at the level of the supreme god, but here, Commercial trade remains in the most basic commodity trading, but she is still only a second-rate god with medium power.
"Unified currency" is very important to the goddess of wealth. This is often achieved only after the business has developed to a certain extent. It is difficult to develop and grow in this world. After all, there is no dynasty that will not fall, and there are separate regimes everywhere In the Ashe Continent of the Kingdom, precious metals are the most reassuring hard currency, but it is inevitable that it is inconvenient to carry. Paper money is not something that no one has thought about or tried, but no one really dares to use it, even if there is an occasional Kingdom coercion Implementation, either the use area is extremely narrow, or the final credit goes bankrupt, and it ends bleak.
But since that declaration, there has been a "universal currency established purely on credit" in the world-justice points, which seem to have not changed, but it is the bud of "credit currency", after all, there are no true gods. Guarantee, this currency will be worthless, this is a typical "virtual currency".
As a result, the rules of the world have changed, and Beyana, who has mastered the exchange of justice points, even developed several exclusive magical techniques, making her high-level priests a wartime shop, providing various material exchanges. Such miracles, but She gained more faith, gratitude, and popularity, and what followed was a steady rise in divine power.
Even just creating the concept of "justice point exchange" has given a new interpretation of "wealth" and made it successful and progress.
Of course, providing this kind of service means that the priest and the gods are in direct contact. It is impossible without enough gods and holy power, and basically only high-level priests can do it.
And I just returned to our station, but found a long queue outside the tent, and at the forefront of the queue, Betty was fulfilling the requirements of her priesthood, providing justice points exchange services to adventurers.
Silver brilliance converged in her pupils, and her old smile turned into apathy and sluggishness without any emotional fluctuations, but beside her, there was a black and different space that distorted the light like a black hole.
"He" simply listened to the other party's request, erased the justice points record in the wrist wheel, and then took out the finished product from the black hole and handed it to the other party. The speed was very fast, but there was no mistake.
Seeing this situation, I knew that my worries were unnecessary. Just Betty was the necessary strategic factor for this operation. As long as she was there, there was no need to worry about our team being crowded out.
So, I turned around and left, and walked out of the temporary station by myself.
In a sense, this is my bad habit. Even if there is a professional scout, I will investigate the situation myself. It is true that I do not trust others, but it is this bad habit that will make others criticize. Saved my life several times.
But before leaving the village, he was met by a familiar guy, who seemed to be called... What's his name
"Kay... Kate?"
"It's Case, Case Elon."
It seems that at least the cultivation is not bad. Hearing that I called the wrong name, the smile did not change in the slightest.
"What's up?"
"I hope to talk to you if I have time."
Obviously, this guy seems to be trying to find out about me, but I'm too lazy to make excuses with him.
"No time, I just want to go out to investigate."
"Exactly, I also have this plan, why don't we go together. Black hurricane, come out."
Saying this, he activated the enchantment on the glove, and in the black smoke that suddenly rose, an all-black horse came out. It was at least one head taller than an ordinary war horse, with red eyes with The bloodthirsty light, the light shines on him, but it is a little weirdly distorted.
"Nightmare war horse?"
This is a rare commodity. This kind of warhorse has the blood of a hell nightmare. It is far superior to ordinary warhorses in terms of endurance and speed. It even has a little supernatural ability. Once it runs at high speed, this distorted light can form a series of Phantom, let the bow and arrow make mistakes, the bloodthirsty nature makes it not afraid of any opponent, the most convenient is its nightmare bloodline, and it can also be summoned at any time as a contract beast, which is very convenient.
"Yeah, our team got it by chance during our last Treyhill adventure, and it's beautiful, isn't it?"
While stroking the horse's head and touching the other's neck affectionately, Case smiled at me. For some reason, this scene reminded me of a certain Beastmaster hunter who was deliberately forgotten but probably will jump out on his own soon. At least if he's here, I won't have to investigate myself.
But seeing the scene where Case summoned the mount, I had to re-evaluate the opponent's strength.
For the knight class, more than half of one's own strength depends on the mount. Although this good horse does not have any powerful special abilities, the twisting bow and arrow is also an extremely useful ability, which can at least increase the combat power by more than 30%. Being able to get a mount that is priceless in the market also shows the strength of this magic knight.
I'm a little funny, this guy actually showed his ability in front of me, it seems that he intends to overwhelm people, but it doesn't make people too objectionable.
"Okay, just keep up with you. Erin Bella."
But strangely, my waving hand fell into the void, and my call was not answered.
"puff."
The uncontrollable snickering of the magic knight not far away made me a little embarrassed, but I was also a little puzzled. Although Irene Bella has been sleeping in my permafrost recently, saving strength and preparing to advance, but I don't listen to it. Not at my call.
"Hmph, you haven't let me out to play recently, have you forgotten me?"
Well, she's been in the city recently, and there really isn't much chance for her to play, so it's no wonder she's complaining.
"I'm sorry, I'll remember to take you for a regular walk in the future..."
Inexplicably, I remembered that I hadn't taken a walk for a while, and Po was like this when he was in trouble.
"Not sincere."
Isn't this forcing me to come up with a trump card, do you think I don't know what you want
"Strawberry ice, banana ice, 10 servings..."
"One month, enough."
In a sense, since the "invention" of fruit-flavored shaved ice, the ice wolves have also had a new hobby. Besides the taste of fruit shaved ice, what they really like is the dyeing effect of the juice after entering the body. The yellow ice dragons and turquoise turtles really test people's endurance, and the most unacceptable thing is that they even change their body shapes and appearances to match the colors. For example, the X-yellow lump is bigger than a house. High X... well, it's uncomfortable just thinking about it, so let's not delve into it.
"Okay, deal, come out quickly, look at that kid who is snickering, my face is about to lose my face."
As soon as the words fell, I floated into the sky, and at this time I was not on the saddle, but was held in the hand by a huge claw.
On top of my head, there was a huge monster covering the clouds. It was a crystal clear ice dragon. Although it was similar in shape to the bone dragon, it was more holy and powerful.
"Frost dragon incarnation? Erin Bella, have you advanced?"
"No, just recovered, your world is simply the plane of ice elements, where I can feel the comfort of home."
"Home? Ice plane?"
I vaguely grasped something, but it was not the time to delve into it. After all, looking at the stunned Demon Knight below, I am afraid I have to think more about how to deal with it when I go back.
