Gou is a dark elf in Warhammer

Chapter 711 562 You Swear First

"At the Hailan Hub, there is everything from food and fresh water to materials for repairing ships. Everything will be registered here. Here, the priests will make a list of the materials you need according to your needs. After paying the deposit or the clause, you will receive the clause stating the materials you need and the part of the payment you have already paid.

With this note, you can go to the dock. The warehouse will prepare everything you need according to the list of supplies on the note. After getting the goods and confirming that they are correct, you can set sail and continue your journey. "Dakeus' tone was very calm, as if all this was a matter of course.

What is religion and what is secular? This is a religious philosophical concept, referring to the two fields of religion and secularism. The religious field is people's pursuit and belief in faith, spirituality, mystery, etc. The secular field is the social, political, economic, cultural and other issues that people face in their daily lives.

The concept of religion and secularism emphasizes the separation of religion and social life, and believes that religious beliefs and secular life should be independent of each other and not interfere with each other.

But there is a but for many things. What Dacus said was originally secular and should be the responsibility of the institutions located at the docks and the bureaucratic groups.

But... currently the bureaucracy of Asheril belongs to an emerging group that is a mixture of old and new. The old factions are a mixed bag, including the Hellwrack Family, other families of Clar Karond, and Malekith's stewards and tax collectors.

The new ones are the orphans of Duruchi brought by the Black Ark Fleet when they came to Asheril. All of these orphans are from Naggarond. When Malekith was in Chapeyuto, he often trained these orphans in the Mask Palace. Now, most of these orphans have become bureaucrats who are not qualified but can be dealt with, and are managed by Walter.

This is why he was relieved to let Walter serve as the Night Supervisor of Ashirel, and he just patted his butt and went to Elsing Alvin for a visit. From a broad perspective, Ashirel has two major forces, namely Duruchi and Lizardmen. From a detailed perspective, the Lizardmen do not have so many forces, as a whole. But Duruchi is different. In addition to the mixed bureaucratic group, his other childhood friend, Garros of the Godrich family, is guarding Salta Province.

Salta Province is located in the northwest of Aishriel, close to the Sotego Ridge in the west and bordering the rainforest in the north. After a distance deep into the rainforest, you will reach the temple city of Okoos. Salta Province has salt and silver, and is the location of Potosí and the Great Salt Lake. In addition, there are a large number of cash crops. Because the situation there is slightly different from other provinces, the model of labor dispatch work is not as relaxed as in other provinces. It must be guarded by a dedicated person, and the old slave owner must guard it.

In addition to Garroth, there is also Valahal Dorion of Asherel, and the factions within Asherel's army are also very complicated, with Dorion's old boss, Baclon from the Nagor, and armies from Clarkarond, Nagorn, and Nagarond.

Aishriel is like Athel Loren today, with political factions closely linked to each other. All forces can coexist peacefully in normal times, doing their own things without disturbing each other, but they can come together at critical moments and deal with unexpected events.

In a world with true gods, believers are mostly in a twisted state. Druki sailors will also play various tricks, but before or during the game, swear an oath to Maserlan. Druki, who drifts on the sea all year round, is very superstitious about sailing and the sea, or even sacred.

For example, before coming to Asheril last time, the Black Ark Fleet set sail in the early night. In the words of the admirals, this was the will of Matheran. Until now, Daquus, the champion of Matheran, has not figured out what the will was. Maybe it was an auspicious time? But the sailing time was approved by all the admirals, and even Malekith did not say anything.

The sailor swore an oath to the moody Matheran. Whether Matheran knew about it or not, or whether he cared about it or not, the sailors on the same boat would find an opportunity to throw the swearing sailor into the sea to avoid being contaminated by bad luck or karma, and avoid being fed to the fish with the swearing sailor.

Moreover, unlike before, Asuryan has relaxed the control. If possible or necessary, the true gods will no longer respond to believers more or more frequently as before. Before, the true gods did not do this except to shut down after knowing that this cycle was over, which was a bit bad.

A big reason is that Asuryan is there. Before Dacus appeared, he didn't care about this or that. He really wanted to mess with you. He didn't allow Aisha to have mercy on the elves. Hos wanted to spread knowledge to the elves, but he burned all the books.

When this situation occurs, many things will be easy to solve... You can do anything, it's completely fine, just swear an oath first and let everyone see.

The bureaucracy of Asheril, or the entire Duruchi bureaucracy, is different from the Maselan system. They have no anchor in this regard. Their daily behavior is related to justice and judgment. The elves' current god in charge of this area, Hos, is more about knowledge.

Loik? This joke is not funny. When Dacus first came to this world, he swore to humans in the name of Loik, but he was just bullying humans who didn't understand and fooling fools. If it weren't for the relationship between Loik and Dacus, and if Loik hadn't personally guaranteed Vetier, Dacus wouldn't have dared to keep Vetier so close to him.

The one with the blue letter?
Maybe... Malekith can? But he only has judgment, and justice is a bit ridiculous...

Bureaucratic groups can be used. When each force or group appears, it is full of vitality and prosperity. After that...

Dacus was not a prophet, and he really didn't know when the bureaucracy would degenerate and become corrupt, and when those orphans from Naggarond would start to learn from those old hands after they gained some power and authority. But he knew that this was inevitable based on the current situation, and he didn't need to observe it, as history was there, so...

After some research, Dacus finally gave this piece of cake to the Storm Weaver Cult, which acted as an intermediary and purchased materials from Chapeiuto at the price agreed upon before. The general process was that the Cult sent people to contact the bureaucratic group first, check the materials, and then put them into storage after confirming that there were no problems. However, the warehouse was provided by the bureaucratic group on a lease basis, after all, the warehouse belonged to Chapeiuto, not the Cult.

He had analyzed it and was not worried about any unexpected problems in the process, such as insufficient supplies or inferior materials being substituted for good ones. If there were problems before the supplies were handed over, it would be the bureaucratic group's business, and if there were problems after the supplies were handed over, it would be the sect's business.

Responsibilities are clear, whoever is to blame is to blame, and there is no way to get rid of it. At most, the cult was deceived, or a believer committed suicide or was caught, which is called "containment" in the words of Crusader Kings. The former is easy to solve, and the latter is even easier to solve. There is a true God in this world, and it is left to Matheran to judge. If he comes to the rescue, you will be drowned on land, and if he doesn't, you are done.

After that, the cult will act as a middleman, add a little price, and hand it over to the admirals and captains. If there is a problem in this link, it is very easy to solve. The investigation link can be cut out, and the two sides can directly confront each other in the mediation room located in the Grand Temple. I have sworn, it is your turn. Okay, the next judgment is handed over to Matheran. And it is not just between the cult and the believers, but also between the cult and the believers in the mediation room. Just swear and it's over.

The True God who got the benefit is annoyed and doesn't want to care? Then why not make trouble for the Phoenix King? It depends on whether Asuryan can do it or not.

There is no helpless compromise, at most it is to resolve secretly, assassination? Aren't you afraid that the target of the assassination will shout: Matheran, look! Even if he doesn't shout, Matheran will notice that the believers have disappeared. For Matheran, the palms and backs of the hands are all flesh. The ultimate meaning of the establishment of the cult is to serve Matheran and the believers, not some religions in the world before Dacus, who use the name of religion to make money, power, and the first atomic bomb used in actual combat.

This is why Dacus plays with religion. Apart from politics, many things in daily life become simple and crude, and problems are easier to solve. Even morality and integrity are brought up.

I can help you up, but you have to swear first. Perhaps one day, the daily greetings of the elves will change from: Have you eaten? to: You have to swear first.

The admirals and captains understood that the entire process was actually an ingenious control chain. From disembarking to re-embarking, everything was under the control of Dacus or the Order.

But they also knew that as long as the price of materials was not too outrageous, this chain would be beneficial to them. The existence of the Hailan Hub meant that the supply of materials would be more orderly and stable, reducing the previous situation of asking for sky-high prices and trying every possible means. With the blessing of Matheran, would the future voyages become smoother? No one could say for sure, but now no one dared to stand up and question it.

"The function of the Hailan Hub is far more than just receiving provisions related to materials. It is not only a place to obtain the required resources, but also a gathering point where fame and opportunity coexist."

Before Daxus finished speaking, water flowed out from Serene's fingertips again, condensing into a huge architectural layout. Its design was extremely complex, like a huge hub where all resources, transactions, and tasks were running and intersecting.

Flanais, who had been watching all this quietly from a distance, understood that perhaps the most suitable person to marry Dacus was not Marest, but the one in front of him. They sang the same tune, and apart from Serene's age, their identities also matched, one was the champion of Matheran, and the other was the daughter of Matheran.

But unfortunately, he knew Dacus's character. Dacus only liked to be friends. His sister, his lover, Kaia, Liv, Nestra and Arohan, Hegria, Morana, Zoya, Arida, and the one in front of him were all Dacus' friends, and good friends. Forget Marest. He could feel that Dacus didn't want to have too much contact with Marest.

"First of all, in addition to the regular collection of supplies, you can also check and redeem points here. But that's not all. If you need to issue a task or entrust someone, you can conduct an asset audit here, submit a deposit after the audit, and issue the task. Believers who are capable of completing the task will come to claim it. Once the task is completed, the church will act as a notary. After checking and confirming that it is correct, the client will be notified. The risks incurred during the entire process will be borne by the church."

Dacus spread his hands at the end of his speech. In the process of speaking, he did not mention the water extraction, that is, after the task is completed, the cult will extract water from the client. How can such a thing be made public? And he also knew that if he didn't say it, the Duruchis would understand it. This is a rule that everyone tacitly accepts.

"Can we all claim the mission?" After hearing this, Drex's eyes lit up and he couldn't help asking, feeling inexplicably familiar.

"Of course, but I'm sorry, there are no points to be redeemed for tasks issued by believers. You all know why. And points cannot be traded or exchanged privately. Of course, points within the same family can be redeemed... Family certification will be carried out soon, so you must remember to declare it and don't miss it." Daxus sealed one hole, but opened another one.

He didn't think there was anything wrong with opening this hole. The situation and facts were there.

Aisha's cult can radiate to the surrounding villages near or in the town, integrating hospitals, seed stations, agricultural stations, veterinary stations, religious sites, etc. Of course, the sale, rental, and maintenance of agricultural equipment are the responsibilities of the followers of Val. Therefore, strengthening religion can not only facilitate governance, but also better serve the people.

Of course, it can't be controlled entirely by religion, it also has to be secular, you can't let Aisha's church collect taxes. You have to add bureaucratic groups and families to form a trinity, and add the Imperial Order Knights and the Investigation Bureau to clamp down.

The elven society could never get rid of the existence of nobles and families at any time, and could only regulate them. This was also the reason why he conducted an investigation into the nobles. However, the investigators he appointed had been relaxing in the Huangqi Temple for some time, or more accurately, venting.

After that, the nobility was regulated. Families that existed before the invasion, passed down to the present day, or were recently canonized by a Night Warden, were all classified. After that, after the next purge, the Nobility Law was introduced to restrict and regulate everything about the nobility, from major political rights and estate size to minor clothing and food standards.

In his opinion, this might be the best solution. His big ass is sitting here. Even if he doesn't sit here, he can't kill all the nobles at once. What will happen after that? History is there. The nobles are gone, but the powerful are here. The powerful are gone...are they gone?

He was actually telling the Duruchis in disguise that it was best not to be a lone wolf or a different name, and to start to stick together. Using the family as an anchor, there are many benefits to doing so. As for disagreements, for example, if the clan leader collects points to exchange for a deep-sea steed, if the family members are unwilling, they can sit down and talk. If they can't reach an agreement, they can just do it, giving full play to the elves' strengths. Anyway, this is all internal family affairs.

The downside... if something happens, no one can escape, and if the boat capsizes, everyone will fall into the water, and this is exactly what he wants to see. It's good to have weaknesses and concerns. The Nine Clans are a good thing.

After seeing Dacus say this with a smile, the dignitaries present laughed awkwardly. They knew why. If the points exchange ratio was within their tolerance, they could just do the trick of transferring the points from one hand to the other. They knew how to do this. It was nothing more than paying some fees to the cult.

“In addition to the client, the cult will also issue tasks. Once the task is completed, the cult will reward the person who completed it with corresponding points.

These tasks can be projects to build the temple area, explore undeveloped islands and underground seas, detect hydrological information of a certain water area, underwater fishing operations, strange phenomena and sea beast sightings, etc.

In addition to entrustment, believers can also conduct transactions within the HaiLan Hub. The church will act as a notary, witness the transaction process, and issue legal documents and filing records.

In addition, believers can register themselves and indicate various information, such as identity background, work experience, skills, achievements and expected salary. I don't need to say more, right?

In short... this is a great platform for you to dedicate your talents to Maserlan, display your abilities, and accumulate wealth and influence. As the champion of the Lord of the Abyss, I swear that the Hailan Hub will protect the interests of every believer and ensure fairness and justice! "

After Dacus finished speaking, he just set an example and swore an oath first.

The venue is named "Hai Lan Hub" because it combines the image of the sea with the function of a core hub. Hai Lan not only conveys the dynamic feeling of surging waves, but also implies that wealth and opportunities are surging like waves. The hub emphasizes the core position of this institution in transactions, task releases and power transfers, implying that all important resources, information and wealth are gathered and circulated here.

The current Hailan Hub is a mixture of multiple functions. In fantasy terms, it is an upgraded version of the mercenary hall.

He planned to run the trial run for a period of time until King's Landing and Ulthuan were stable. If there were no problems during this period, he planned to rent out the ship agency.

A shipping agent is responsible for handling ship-related business, including pilotage, quarantine, tugboats, berthing, loading and unloading, materials, documents, etc.

Freight forwarder is... that’s it, the freight forwarder is already included in the entrustment.

What is religious and what is secular, tax is secular. In any case, he will never pay taxes, this is the bottom line.

In addition, he was very considerate. He did not charge any pilotage fees, which are the fees for pilotage. The terminal is responsible for the process from entering the port to berthing the ship, and the fee is charged according to the size of the ship. The pilotage work in Chapeiuto is the responsibility of the church, which is a welfare distribution and serves Matheran and believers.

At this stage, some things are vague and not yet formalized. The ships coming from Naggaroth to Chapeiuto are a bit self-righteous. They can be maintained in the short term, but not in the long term and on a large scale.

Later, when he returns to Naggaroth, he will determine a clear system, including how many ships each family will provide to form the fleet, the sailors' salary for a round trip, the insurance premium for the ship, and the fees that Malekith will pay after the goods are shipped to Naggaroth. These must be clearly marked. It can be long-term, but we can't let the Duruchi bleed and cry.

This is, of course, one of the reasons why he expanded Chapeuto this time.

Like Delasir, Drex was a captain, although they were of different genders and birthplaces. He was born in Carlond Carr and Delasir was born in Carla Carlond, but they both climbed up from the civilian class.

At this time, something different happened. His ship belonged to him and he could go wherever he wanted, so he became a mercenary. But Delasir's ship belonged to the Hellbane Family, who were the owners of the ship and she was the captain. She had no freedom or independence and could only revolve around the radiation range of the Vicious Temple.

Different classes and perspectives see different things. Drex focused on the family certification in the near future. Although he didn't know the specific details, he had guessed it. Maybe this was not the last ship, but for him, this was definitely the best one to board, as long as...

"Dreux!"

Just as Drex was still thinking quickly, a call came. (End of this chapter)
