Chapter 370: Leapfrogging Advancement of the Times
Nelson sat nervously in the Temple of Fortune, watching the merchants and priests coming and going, and his spirit was already tense.
He was not the only merchant who had been invited, and he was a great merchant in the Kurt kingdom, but in the wealthier regions, he was only a merchant.
He had his own chamber of commerce, but it was not very large, and it was mainly engaged in the business of high-grade timber and iron ore.
He personally led the caravan to the Sorrowful Wind Leader, the purpose was to join the 'Business Alliance', he originally thought that his speed was not slow, but after actually coming to Wende City, he found that the Temple of Wealth was already crowded with merchants.
Although Nelson could also see that many of the merchants here were merchants from the local territory of the Windwind Territory or the Kingdom of Kolo, because the distance was very close, it was not incomprehensible that they arrived in Wende City faster than him.
But not only them, but Nelson also found several merchants from the Moore Merchant Federation...... He knew.
There were even more people he didn't know, and he knew by the way they were dressed that they were worth a lot of money, so Nelson sat on the benches of the Temple of Fortune and couldn't sit still.
Soon, though, he was caught by the light curtain in front of the priests.
Like him, many merchants who came to Wende City for the first time and came to the Temple of Fortune for the first time also opened their mouths and stared blankly at the light curtain in front of the priest.
Not to mention them, even people from developed cities such as Norman, Moro, and Lolandal, as long as they came to Wende City for the first time, they could probably be regarded as 'short-sighted', because many things had never been seen before, just as they couldn't understand what the light curtains in front of them were, and they didn't understand how the head maid had transformed Wende City into what it is now.
If they understood, then they would go to a king and the king would never refuse to give them a good job.
It was precisely because they didn't know anything, and because they didn't understand it, that they admired the head maid so much, and had a feeling of 'looking up to the mountains' for her.
And they were also a little curious about who the head maid's teacher was, who was able to educate such an excellent student.
There were many people who tried to find Serena's 'teacher' with such imagination, but in the end they all had to give up, because when the head maid first appeared in front of people, she was already with the current Duke of Black Dragon of the Sad Wind Leader, and she was only a teenager at that time......
Anyone who has ever known the maid knows that one of the reasons why she is so powerful is because she has gained knowledge of another world, but this is only one of the reasons for her success.
Because they don't understand, it's easy for people to associate this incident with the legendary head maid.
The other gods, not even the other temples of the Church of Wealth, did not have such a thing, but the Temple of Fortune in Wende City had this, which had to make one suspect that it had a close relationship with the head maid.
The hall of the original chapel has been transformed into the lobby of the bank, and Nelson and other people who have seen the magic of the Temple of Fortune for the first time are in a daze in the lobby, and they would never have imagined that the goddess of wealth is hiding in the dormitory at the back of the church, worrying about the 'blueprints' in her hands.
Because this is not the first time, the clergy of the Church of Fortune did not feel anything wrong.
For them, their goddess is working to expand their faith, and they must work harder as priests of the Lady of Wealth.
“...... No, I don't understand!"
Latinia felt that if she looked at the papers on the table now, she would probably spit it out the next second.
Obviously, she can understand every word and phrase, but she can't understand the sentences and paragraphs composed of these words and phrases.
She could understand what 'memory', 'diffusion', 'orientation', and 'extension' meant, but she just couldn't put it in her incarnation - no, it should be called 'server' now, and Latinia wouldn't admit it to being her own 'incarnation'!
She permanently separated a portion of her divine power from her godhead and made it into a 'server', which she should have called, according to Sera.
The maid once said to her: 'This network in the temple of wealth can only be called a local area network for the time being, and there is still a long way to go if it wants to become the Internet. ’
Since then, Latinia has been trying to improve the 'server' because she doesn't need to 'program', so she's much faster at improving the server, but if she comes across something she doesn't understand - like it is now - she can't continue to improve the 'server' on top of what she has now.
Even now, the 'local area network' is still limited to Wende City, although the clergy of the Church of Fortune no longer need to be in the Temple of Fortune to be able to connect to the 'Internet', but except for unexpected places in Wende City, they still can't connect to the 'Internet'.
After tasting the sweetness, how could Latinia be willing to go back to the old days?
The next thing she wants to do is to be able to connect all the clergy of the Wealth Church in the Grim Wind Territory to the 'network', and then continue to expand, the Kingdom of Korot, the Kingdom of Kurt, and the Duchy of Eagle...... Even in the entire Mendes continent, and then in the world of Asatom, every believer who believes in her and Latinia can connect to the 'network', and at that time, the faith she has obtained may be able to directly impact the level of 'powerful divine power'.
She was tempted to ask the maid, but she knew that she couldn't rely on Serena all the time, and even though the Church of Fortune and the Sadwind Collar were now inextricably linked, and the relationship between her and Serena was strong, Serena and Cervantes would leave the Sadwind Territory sooner or later—maybe they hadn't said it, but Latinia had such a hunch.
The matter of the maid cultivating Edith as an heir may not be obvious to ordinary people, after all, they think that their maid chief is like an old duke, who can rule the Sorrowful Wind Territory for hundreds of years, although they are very sorry for Miss Edith, but in comparison, many people admire their maid head more.
Maybe even Edith herself thinks so, but Latinia has long seen that Thera is cultivating Edith, and she wants to cultivate an heir!
If the maid wants to leave, then the black dragon will definitely follow suit, and when the time comes, she will take charge of the Sorrowful Wind Leader...... No, from the Duchy of Sorrow, it's Edith.
She couldn't rely on Serena all the time, she was a god, after all.
Latinia's gaze returned to the papers on the table, and sighed: "Forget it, let's take another look......"
Only reciprocity can ensure the longevity of friendship, when one party helps one party for a long time without asking for anything in return, then the relationship between the two parties will become 'benefactor' and 'beneficiary', and will no longer be friends.
The maid had helped her so much, and the goddess of fortune now only thought about continuing her studies and then repaying her well.
Today's 'business alliance' is such a thing, although the concept was proposed by the maid, but the real implementer is her, if she can establish this 'business alliance', then Wende City will inevitably become the world's 'business capital'.
The surrounding areas will also be affected by the fact that Wende City has become a 'commercial capital', and business will inevitably become prosperous gradually, and a lot of wealth will flow into their pockets, and then feed back to other areas, so that the first rich will lead to the later rich, and finally achieve 'common prosperity'.
In her plan, the 'network' occupies a large proportion, if 'industrialization' is a way to bring more wealth creation to the world, then the 'network' is the key to allowing businessmen to stay in the Sad Wind Territory, which is the 'attraction' of the Sad Wind Territory!
