The Experimental Log of the Crazy Lich

Chapter 659: Prosperity

Spacious walls covered thick ice sheets, the old city was repeatedly revamped over the years, towers, crossbow holes, winches, crossbows, stone throwers, all with post-construction traces, perhaps the taste of war.

With the combined efforts of artisans and practitioners, the entire walled area has been reinforced by at least 30 meters. When the walls over 100 meters stand on the ground, it is as if walking into the clouds and looking only at the exterior, which is probably the first fortified city in the North.

Today the city is not threatened by war, its doors are open, it has not yet entered the city, and the crowd that comes and goes is attractive.

The animals were selling on the street with leather goods and prey, buying tobacco, spirits, cotton clothes and other “luxury goods in the North", wearing black cloaks and careful to stay away from these bloodthirsty guys and buy those dark and legal “merchandise” in small shops deep in the alley.

On the streets of that gully alley, the black fireworks of the melting furnace were raised in the shops of the dwarves. Whenever the dwarves' weapons were bestsellers, the barbarians of the North were showing off their martial arts in the streets outside the shops, hoping to find their employers, while spirits and sophisticated weapons and equipment drooling in the shops.

When I first arrived in Diffindor, I thought I was in the wrong place. After all, compared to that city of fire that was burning forever in my memory, it was full of commercial cities called selling voices and shops, which made people feel that the painting style was a little wrong.

“Compared to eight years ago, the volume of transactions and business taxes rose three hundred and thirty-seven times a year, a hundred times more prosperous, and it is absolutely true. ”

Renee's words are full of pride, but I can also understand this sentiment. Growth is so outrageous. Apart from the fact that the base of the past is so tragic, more is the hard work and hard work of the Diffinds. What is more pleasing and proud than watching the hometown move one step to prosperity.

A look at the map reveals that the market area alone, as a trading venue, is larger than the old town of Diffindor.

I looked at the signs on the map. The vast majority of shops were run by local residents and magicians, and most foreigners were well-known travellers and traders. As the unnamed and solid capital of the Lan Alliance, the increase in political status also greatly improved its economic and military status.

As a fortress city, Diffund is qualified. From the outset, the geographic location and accumulation of Languo's successive construction have made the city a strong fortress facing the north. As long as it is blocked, neither the Orcs of the North nor the Devil's Abyss of the Northeast Wind can cross the barrier.

As it enters a period of peace with the entire North, assuming that enemies are allies, the role of the original strategic points declines dramatically, but does not mean that it is withdrawn from the historical arena. On the contrary, the city of Diffund is becoming more and more important due to the increasing position of the Lan Nation in the nascent Lan Alliance.

Today, Diffund is no longer a lonely lonely city, surrounded by seven satellite towns within hundreds of kilometres, some of which are engineering bases for ore processing and smelting, some of which are stockpiles of raw materials and food, and the largest arms, military food and ammunition exchanges in the North, half of which are Knights of the Land, warrior training bases, Diffund and its satellite urban areas, and the largest barracks in the North.

Every day, traders and diplomatic envoys from the north and south come here with various missions, not far away, young knights and brave men come here with a vision for the future, Lan 'an peoples come here for various reasons, human flow brings prosperity, multi-ethnic and multi-ethnic convergence, economic and cultural take-off.

The heavier the political, cultural, economic and military centers in the North, the greater the role of Diffund, the more the central city was expanded by at least four times compared to that year. If it were a satellite city, it would be good to say that it had been expanded dozens of times. In a short period of time, it had been expanded many times, making the city's streets seem a little crowded and chaotic, but from a different perspective, countless languages and inhabitants lived here, but it also represented infinite vitality.

Compared to other commercial cities, there is an advantage here that no other city state can compare to, and that is fundamental to its ability to prosper.

The sacred silver light forms a hidden tent, and the invisible eye seems to be watching the city of miracles, while those patrolling the streets are not only the guardians of the Land of Lan, but also the priests of law and the righteous knights with the crest of the balance, who remain the guardians of the city.

Trading here is special and fast, and even in the eyes of outsiders, it's a bit incredible and unmagical.

“I make a covenant to the Law and the God of the Underworld that if my covenant is true, I will fulfill all the requirements and regulations of the agreement on time and deliver the goods to each other within three months. ”

“We assure the law and the god of the Underworld that we will deliver the goods within one month of receiving the fur. ”

Barbarians and goblins simultaneously swore an oath to the god of the law and signed their names on the covenant, praying silently as an intermediary in the covenant of witnesses. After a brief silver light, the covenant had been watched by the insomniac owner of the covenant, and no mortal would breach it.

Eight years ago, when I returned to the North with my legions, the sleepless blessed the city, and the divine curse turned it into the sanctuary of the sleepless, a city of innocence free from crime, where all criminals and deceivers would be marked with a red light representing fraud, and the judger, the Knight of Justice, would appear in five minutes.

And with the soundness and promotion of the god of the covenant of the sleepless, the guarantee of the covenant is officially within the scope of his duties, and I'm afraid every honest businessman will go crazy about what it means to be a city free of crime, free from fraud, where the covenant of transaction will surely be fulfilled.

Not to mention that a large number of transactions in the countries of the North have chosen to take place here, that is, between kingdoms within the continent, but also here, where the law clerics who supervise contracts are drawn from contracts are already astronomical figures.

Even a number of people have suggested expanding the scope of supervision of this contract, praying that the sleepless not only monitor the commercial contract, but also the more important diplomatic and military contracts, and if this is done, I fear that the reputation of the sleepless will peak again.

But when I think about it, I know it's a pit.

“Covenants between States" sounded remarkable, but States were not personable; they had only a pure interest in each other. Betrayal of covenants was a matter of routine whenever needed, and once monitoring was genuine, it would not be possible to impose divine punishment on the whole country for breach of covenants, which would be betrayed.

Even if divine punishment were imposed on the signatories, the covenant would be broken. In the long run, it would not be lost. One failure, two failures, more and more covenants would be broken, and the divine priesthood of the covenant would be desecrated, which would have a negative impact.

Far from it, to be honest, Renee called the surge in commercial taxes, at least half of which were drawn from the transaction contract tax, while the establishment of a financial exchange for remote trading of bulk commodity orders and futures made Diffindor the financial center of the North, and the revenue of the treasury skyrocketed in geometry every year, which was also premised on the massive spending of money on military construction.

Small enough to buy and sell the fur of hunters and animals, big enough to buy and sell arms and goods between super empires, taxes are drawn from 6% to 30%, just think of it as astronomical digital income.

It took less than a decade to spill oil from bitter cold to rich, and it seemed incredible, but the world of Ash, where God exists, is the norm in this world.

The rise of a new god, bringing up a country, a nation, is too normal. As the first country to adopt the god of the law of the sleepless as the state religion, the Lan are eating the Divine Divinity of the Underworld and the rising dividends of the sleepless, at least before the divine meteorite, prosperity is inevitable.

And the gaze of God brings with it another element necessary for prosperity - a sense of security.

No one is foolish these days, who is behind the Northern Lands Alliance is already an open secret. The long-term stability of investments and transactions is not only conventional security stability, but also the "security stability” of domestic regimes and policies.

In this regard, the nascent underworld gods are all old gods, wealth goddesses, destiny gods, moon gods, reapers, at least a reputable group of neutral gods, and the sleepless represent the law, fairness, and the most desirable thing of the merchants.

As for the most important commercial routes and road safety, floating boats in the North have opened up several routine routes to and from mainland cities, including King Bayer's Dow - Diffund, King Orlando's Dow - Diffund, although the transportation costs are a bit more expensive than the bandits, warcraft, war hazards that may be encountered by land routes, which can be expected to have extra costs that are really nothing, much better than forwarding the costs to cargo without even carrying it.

Safe, fast, stable, incredible contractual justice, guided by many factors, implicit, Diffindor actually has a tendency to become the commercial capital of the mainland, but remote northern cities have embarked on commercial routes, and the potential to become super commercial cities, so people really don't know how to evaluate it.

And prosperity also brings wealth to the Langhuan and all the people of the North. The North is not really nothing. The complete fur of a northern winter wolf is worth about fifty gold coins in the North, but thousands of gold coins can be sold in the heart of the mainland. In the past, it was not nobody's idea of these North Territories specialties, it was just expensive transportation costs and the hardship of the road, which allowed the vast majority of hunters to prefer that safe fifty gold coin.

Arms, all kinds of non-human ethnic crafts, warcraft materials, alchemy, engineering products, are the most common trades here, and are bestsellers.

And I personally, even though I am very impressed, must always wear a thick white cloak, even if I drink water and eat, I dare not take it down.

After all, even if I always have a thick face, I can't help but see my statue everywhere. Some people are nagging at the statue god, some are grateful and some pray, and some are really unbearable, especially...

“Bless the promotion, let it be. Bless Hideyoshi for not paying me a visit to Baikavins, which clearly discriminates against me. Bless Mother and Son for peace and many grandchildren for worshipping me, and worship the likeness of the sad wind for worship. ”

“Forget it, there really are worshippers, it's just a cult banned by the mainland order, they call themselves the" Brotherhood of Truth without Borders "...”

“ ……. I don't want to know at all. ”

While blocking Heroise's mouth, I remembered the man who was still in the abyss. A while ago, he sent me a letter saying that it would take a little more time to get rid of the arrogant bird man and let me rest... I wanted to ask him “who wants you to get rid of the bird man, all I want is epic material, just materials, please don't make big news, positive images these days are important...”

But I don't think it's going to work, no matter what I say, the user doesn't have to be suspicious, or whatever. Well, it's definitely not that I'm going to get the material and clear the line with that bastard and throw it out for a bounty. Am I such a ruthless, river-bridge-breaker?

“You still have the face to say, Emila, I... you were so kind. Do you remember how many bridges you had already dismantled? But for the sake of world peace, the bridge was dismantled sooner rather than later, and the world will thank you. ”

And I'm still drinking tea with this boring nonsense, and Renee's got a big problem.

“The Principality of Thorne and the Kingdom of Fieldias apply to join the Langham Alliance? When did this happen? For what? ”
