Puerto Pando.
After submitting the application and going through a rigorous review, Bishop Zuo Na and his party were allowed to enter the port, and they were placed in a building that seemed to be built in a hurry.
Although wood and stone bricks were used, Zuo Na could still see the poor handicraft of the indigenous people, but compared to the thatched cottages on both sides, this place has a feeling of being outstanding.
"A port under construction?"
Zuo Na recalled seeing the bazaars on both sides of the road before. To be honest, it can’t even compare to the commercial streets of any small town on the mainland. And so on, the level of buying and selling is still on barter, and even the most basic currency has not been developed. To Zuo Na, it seems like a blasphemy against her own goddess!
"These bloody natives, lazy! Dirty!"
Several attendants complained, but Zuo Na didn't see it that way. She realized the great vitality of Bankz Island after only a short contact: "Goddess! Although these natives are so despicable and weak, their jewelry They are all made of gold... If the market here can be fully developed..."
For the priest of the Goddess of Wealth, seizing every opportunity to obtain gold coins is simply an instinctive behavior.
"I didn't expect... At the same time as this exploration, there are such gains, but the nearby ocean currents and sea areas are too dangerous..."
Zuo Na frowned secretly.
Dinner was curry rice with a very indigenous flavor. The huge plantain leaf was directly used as a container. Zuo Na was a little surprised by the hot taste.
After enjoying a sumptuous dinner, Zuo Na summoned several high-ranking thieves accompanying her in the room.
A layer of golden light enveloped the entire room. Although Zuo Na didn't believe in the detection ability of the natives, she still arranged it carefully.
"How is it? Did you find anything?"
Zuo Na looked at the tall and thin figure standing in front of her, but wished she could hide her whole body in the shadows.
"It's only one day, how can I get so much news, but fortunately, blessed by the goddess, those natives have no sense of secrecy at all... Although I used a lot of myths and poems, I still got part of the information..."
The thief's voice was dry, like a hoarse vulture.
"Speak!" Zuo Na frowned.
"First of all... This place once belonged to the Zacatecaz Empire. It seems that there was a war. They were defeated by a group of 'white-skinned gods' from the west, that is, from the direction of our mainland. The entire empire was also destroyed..."
"What surprised me even more is that the number of the group of 'white-skinned gods' seems to be very small, probably no more than 20,000!"
The rogue added later.
"Twenty thousand?" Zuo Na was a little dumbfounded, "But with the scale of the Crimson Tiger Pirates, there are indeed only so many people to deal with...an empire conquered by 20,000 people, hehe..."
Zuo Na smiled happily, obviously thinking that Zacatecaz was some kind of big tribe of natives.
"If you knew the true strength of this native empire, you wouldn't be able to laugh now!"
The thief interrupted coldly from the side.
"How many people do they have?" Hearing the other party's solemn voice, Zuo Na also reacted in time.
"According to them, it takes fifty suns to go from one end of the empire to the other. Each city has as many people as the total number of tribes. Moreover, the ruler of the empire has a sun god who rules everything. Blessing of Akban!"
The thief's expression became more and more solemn: "A conservative estimate, the number of people in this native empire is between 500,000 and 1 million, and the territory is as vast as a kingdom, and even has the protection of false gods!"
"To be able to defeat such a powerful empire, and only have less than 20,000 pirates in hand, my God! Even if it's 500,000 pigs, it's not so easy to catch, right?"
Zuo Na said in surprise.
"Well! Indeed! What I want to say next is the key!"
There was a hint of emotion in the thief's voice, which was horror and trembling: "Do you still remember the holy water that was sprinkled on us as soon as we landed?"
"It's just pure water, it seems to be mixed with some kind of medicine, it's not holy water!"
Zuo Na reminded that in terms of religion, this kind of issue is still very important, and it is impossible for her to admit that she has been sprinkled with blessings from other gods, unless she is determined to defect.
"Okay...that kind of potion..." The thief soon realized his slip of the tongue and changed his words immediately.
"In the early days of the war, a huge plague seemed to have occurred here, and a large number of natives died. However, the two-winged giant snake with healing power suddenly descended and gave the natives these holy water..."
"Giant snake?" Zuo Na immediately thought of the oracle of the Goddess of Wealth, and the Giant Serpent Church that she needed to investigate with all her strength.
"That's right! These holy waters have astonishing power, and they have extraordinary healing effects on diseases. Therefore, those white-skinned gods are also regarded as heroes sent by the heavens to save the aborigines, and they have won wide support, thus defeating the original Zacatecaz Empire…”
"Is that so..."
Zuo Na lowered her head, seemed to be lost in thought, and then looked at the thief, her voice was dignified: "Do you think... the plague here has something to do with that plague lady?"
"Probably not! I have fought against the plague priest of the other church. Although the other party can spread the disease, it is not so contagious... Moreover, the other party's pastor can only kill people but not save people..."
The thief pondered for a while, and replied very simply.
"That's good... continue to search for information, especially about the Giant Snake Church..."
Zuo Na let out a long sigh of relief, and sent the thieves away, while she looked at the oil lamp on the table and fell into deep thought.
"The Crimson Tiger pirate group, the legendary mage of the Faolan family, and the winged snake that can cure diseases... What is the connection between these three?"
At the beginning, Zuo Na thought that all of this was a prank by Leylin, but now it seemed that it was becoming more and more confusing.
"My lord... please guide me!"
Zuo Na began to hold the holy emblem in the center of her hand, and began to pray devoutly... A layer of dark golden light fell, enveloping the entire room with a misty brilliance.
…
"It's actually the Goddess of Wealth... But that's right, I deal with her the most, and there is the only Temple of the Bishop of Wealth on Venus Port, and it's normal to be recorded..."
Leylin didn't feel much surprise, after all, the communication between Banks Island and the outside world is also necessary.
Only through trade can Bankz Island, which has been in ruins, be revitalized as soon as possible. From this perspective, it is much better to be discovered by the Goddess of Wealth than to be discovered by the Church of Heim.
After all, the former is also a neutral camp.
With the rich resources of the entire Bankz Island and the consumption market of an empire, Leylin has no doubts about the attraction of this to the gold coin priest.
But it is obviously not enough to make Zuo Na and her party risk their lives to come here by relying on these.
The only one who can drive a coin bishop is Woking, the Goddess of Wealth!
"No matter what kind of thoughts the other party has, the current Bankz Island is completely self-sufficient, and there is no need to fear any blockade or threat... Of course, if we can win over the other party and have the support of the commercial network of the entire continent, it is naturally very good... "
Leylin waved his hand: "Send the order, receive the other party with the highest standard of etiquette, present the vessel inlaid with gold and agate gemstones, and pave the floor with cashmere, and welcome the other party into my palace..."
At this time, Leylin was already the king of the new empire, and also the patron saint of the empire, so his orders were naturally carried out without hesitation.
Zuo Na and her party received a large number of gifts from the natives, and were almost dazzled by the wealth here. They stopped and stopped along the way to Faolan City, which was being rebuilt.
This was originally the capital of the Zacatecaz Empire. The roads and houses are the most spacious. Now it is being expanded. The wide driveway can even allow twelve horses to gallop side by side.
"Judging from the planning of the capital, we know that the 'King of Conquest' has great ambitions..."
Zuo Na mentioned Leylin's name among the natives.
Obviously, in the other party's eyes, Leylin, the conqueror, represented blood, conquest and slaughter!
But Zuo Na saw more.
Due to the understanding ability of the natives and the communication problems between the two sides, Zuo Na still doesn't even know the identity of the King of Conquerors, but she can be sure that the other party has great courage, strong force, and is even stronger than the devil. Sly heart!
This huge gap and powerlessness made Zuo Na sigh deeply. If it weren't for the light of the goddess on the holy emblem still supporting her, Zuo Na would have fled Banks Island long ago.
"The news about the Church of the Serpent is also vague, but it is certain that the other party's priest possesses magical powers. This means that the person behind the Church of the Serpent is at least a [false god]..."
Regardless of anything, once you get in touch with the gods, it will definitely become the source of trouble. Zuo Na felt her brain hurt even more, and even twitched.
"Here we are! This is my emperor's palace, and you are only allowed to enter by yourself!"
At the gate of the splendid golden palace, the elite aborigine [Devil Hunter] stood in front of the Fortune Mission.
As the guards guarding Leylin's safety, these natives are not only unquestionable in terms of loyalty, but also their own strength is at the elite level, even at the level of heroes. Even Zuo Na was secretly shocked by it.
