I am a god in another world
Chapter 922: Inverted Light and Shadow
"The method is basically the same, but not as shady as theirs." Gavin explained, "As long as the interest rate is relatively standardized and reasonable, in most cases, it can be a win-win situation with those merchants.
Those merchants use these liquidity to get through the most difficult times.
The person in charge of a large amount of cash allows huge amounts of funds to flow and create new value.
If there are enough banks, it will provide those merchants with unimaginable convenience. They don't need to transport large amounts of cash or goods around the world. They only need to carry the receipts to purchase goods at the destination, reducing their risks on the road.
This will play a positive role in the development of business.
The church monastery of the goddess of wealth had already been involved in this business before the turbulent years.
But with the disappearance of the goddess, everything came to an abrupt end."
Catherine said thoughtfully: "You don't want to enter this industry, do you?"
"Originally, it was just a consideration, but now we have sufficient capital." Gavin nodded and admitted, "So many people are starting to get involved in this industry, which fully shows that there is a demand for it.
Especially for ultra-long-distance trade such as Far East trade, the demand for funds is particularly huge. Even if many large chambers of commerce want to make a trip, it will cause a huge impact on their capital chain, not to mention the consequences of failure.
If we set up a bank in Tevram and the Xianglong Empire to provide currency exchange and credit services to these merchants, even if we charge a 10% or 20% handling fee, do you think those merchants will be willing?
I also have the advantage of roads, and those commercial hotels along the way can add this kind of business.
If my statues are built along the entire road, the safety factor and speed of our transportation of these precious goods will definitely not be matched by ordinary merchants. They will even ask us to transport some precious goods."
This is obviously not a whim of Gavin seeing the Shadow Nest Vault, but a related development plan has long been in place.
It is not enough to just build road infrastructure. He also needs to find a way to make full use of these roads. The logistics industry has its own unique advantages. As long as the road priesthood is firmly in his hands, others cannot take it away.
Then, based on this, he began to enter the trade and wealth field of Faerun.
In Faerun, although the three major priesthoods of trade, money and wealth are taken, the dear goddess of wealth is a typical big-breasted and brainless one.
In the turbulent years, she foolishly ran to the dark lord Grazite for help, wanting to borrow a passage from the abyss to return to her kingdom of God.
The result is imaginable. When she went deep into the abyss, Grazite betrayed her without hesitation and imprisoned her in the abyss for more than ten years. She was not rescued until 1371.
Now her priesthood is managed by her best friend, the goddess of joy, Lila.
The goddess of joy is not a material for managing money. In just over a year, the wealth and believers of the Church of Wojin have shrunk significantly, and many of them are used for enjoyment, which is a serious waste.
Many merchants turned to the god of travel and exploration, Shanda Kor. Although the priesthood of the helping hand was a bit far-fetched, it was at least quite helpful to the merchants. His followers were very enthusiastic on the road.
It was much better than a group of happy priests who were addicted to wine and sex and did nothing.
And these ten years were Gavin's opportunity.
Roads were an important part of commerce. With his involvement in the commerce field, I believe that those merchants who have tasted the sweetness will take the initiative to turn to his side.
The Golden Road was the best point of intervention, and now the shadow thieves have sent him enough start-up funds.
The right time, right place, and right people, two and a half things have been collected, and the remaining Tukan army can be fully launched after it is eliminated.
Catherine couldn't help but look at Gavin deeply. She knew that the other party was very ambitious and wanted to peek into the realm of the gods with a mortal body, but she didn't expect that his ambition was so great that he was not just peeking into one realm.
But thinking back carefully to what Gavin did, he had to admit that the other party was rushing in this direction step by step.
Even the lady had to increase the stakes on him again and again, until now the two were completely tied together, rising and falling together.
Tying a new god to one's chariot is not something that ordinary people can do.
The only thing Catherine could do was to promise: "General, if you need me to do anything, just tell me, I will definitely do my best to support you."
"Your main task is to run the war academy well and cultivate more exclusive priests and excellent officers."
Gavin took the opportunity to further refine Catherine's task, "Your burden is heavy. In the East Region of Despair, you must build at least two war academies, one in Tevram and one in Kronte.
Madam, you don't need to worry about the funds and the construction of the academy, leave it to me, but I can't do anything about the corresponding tutorials and teachers, and you have to worry more about it."
He and the goddess of strategy have a complementary relationship.
His rocket-like development began when he embarked on the road of conqueror.
Of course, his own accumulation of experience contributed to this, but the church organization of Lady Strategy also played an indispensable role.
He fully utilized the influence of Lady Strategy to organize a large immigrant team and armed them with her core doctrines. The immigrant team was filled with a large number of exclusive priests of Lady Strategy, making its skeleton stronger.
The chariot corps was built by using those academy officers.
This was used to the extreme in the defense of Tevram.
In war after war, the officers trained by the War College proved their value.
However, Gavin's expansion speed far exceeded the training speed of these officers, and now the gap is frighteningly large.
Catherine couldn't help but laugh and said, "For me, the more burdens like this, the better. Thanks to the general, we have accumulated rich experience in the establishment of the War Academy. Teaching is not necessarily limited to the academy. On the contrary, results can be seen faster on the battlefield.
The establishment of the Tevram War Academy has begun since those exclusive priests entered the city defense garrison. It only needs to make up for their theoretical courses after the subsequent formalization. Doing so will take less time and produce faster results."
Gavin added: "The War Academy in Tevram City will be open to all people in the desperate East Region, not limited to soldiers. Merchants' children are also a good choice. Ms. Strategy still needs you to be responsible for in-depth exploration in the field of business warfare. This is a major direction for the future and can expand new priesthoods for Ms. Strategy."
"Of course, Ms. Strategy also attaches great importance to this matter and has begun in-depth research and is ready to create a new doctrine. This new priesthood belongs to Ms. Strategy." Catherine showed a strong sense of confidence.
It means that Ms. Strategy has already had an idea of this matter, and the rest is a suitable opportunity.
Gavin stopped asking questions and gave Ms. Strategy and Catherine enough confidence. Often, when a new priesthood is opened, what is lacking is not the ability, but the flash of inspiration. As long as there is a direction, Ms. Strategy's initiative is absolutely amazing, not to mention that there is a powerful god behind her.
I believe that the King of War is very interested in expanding his war field outward and incorporating commercial wars.
"Kronte's War Academy is mainly aimed at those Xianglong people." Gavin continued to explain his plan, "It's just that this one is different from the others. It is much more practical than faith. Those Xianglong people have their own belief system. Don't get involved for the time being before you figure it out.
Don't just teach them, but also learn. The Xianglong Empire has been passed down for thousands of years and has a rich historical heritage. Many things are self-contained. The military formation and military spirit of the Tukan people originated from them. See if you can get this and integrate it into the lady's belief system.
If you have this, I believe that the lady's status as a believer will rise with the tide, and many lords will rush to send their best officers to our war academy to study.
But you To prepare for long-term combat, those Xianglong people must be very vigilant. They have a strong concept of family inheritance and have the bad habit of passing on knowledge to men but not to women. They would rather take many top-secret knowledge and skills to the grave than share them.
Do not use force or magic on them. They are an important part of my foothold in the desperate East Region and my march into the Far East Empire. I can only use time and true feelings to slowly influence them. It may not be that they integrate into us, but it may also be that we integrate into them. The process is as important as the result. "
Gavin's selfishness is also mixed in this. Although he only had time to have a brief contact with those Xianglong people, he has a heartfelt good impression of them and has a strong interest in that distant ancient empire.
He is interested not only in the same places, but also in the different places.
A person's first origin is really very important.
Even though Gavin has experienced so many things, his identity as a flower-growing family on Earth still controls him. I am afraid that he will never get rid of it, and he is not going to get rid of it.
"General, rest assured, we know what to do. No matter how stubborn and conservative they are, they can't surpass the dwarves. Even those stubborn stones can be penetrated by water drops, let alone the flying dragons.
A long period of slavery will change many things and make them understand some things that they couldn't understand before." Catherine was still confident.
Although the identity of the flying dragons is unique, this is Faerun, a land known for its tolerance.
Not to mention those from other continents, even those from other worlds are numerous here, and they are not accepted by this land and become an inseparable part of this place.
I believe that it is only a matter of time for these flying dragons to integrate into this continent.
"If the general is interested in getting involved in the Far East trade, I am willing to go to the Far East Empire for the general." The shadow assassin Feodor said at the right time.
The stealth ability of this shadow assassin is really to the extreme, especially after he turned into a real shadow.
If he didn't take the initiative to speak, Gavin and Catherine almost forgot that he was standing aside.
However, they were not afraid of outsiders hearing what they just talked about, because the things they were involved in were too high-end, and even if ordinary people wanted to intervene, they were not qualified.
Gavin asked curiously: "Your mission has been completed. When you leave the Shadow Demiplane, you will be free. Why did you suddenly change your mind?"
"I'm afraid I can't hide the fact that I betrayed the Shadow Master Guild. Once I leave here and the Shadow Master Guild knows about it, they will definitely eliminate me at all costs. I'm afraid there will be no place for me in Furen."
The Shadow Assassin's thinking was very clear, "But Karatu Continent can, it is covered by a continent-level city defense maze, and those flying dragons call themselves the Nine Provinces Barrier.
East of the Great Ice Sea, there is no way to teleport. The Xianglong Empire has a very strict supervision on teleportation. Except for a few large cities with teleportation arrays, individuals basically cannot cast teleportation spells.
Even if the people of the Shadow Master Guild chased me to the Karatu Continent, they could not send too many people there. I still have some connections and influence there. "
"No wonder the trade between the Furen Continent and the Karatu Continent is so unclose. It turns out that this is the reason. In this case, the Golden Road is even more indispensable." Gavin was not surprised but happy, "So, have you been to the Xianglong Empire?"
For Gavin who wanted to take the road priesthood, this was good news rather than bad news. He wished that the exchanges between the two continents would be more difficult.
If this is the case, the Golden Road would be more worthy of his great efforts to develop, and he would easily become a more indispensable existence, which would be more helpful for him to collect faith and wealth.
"Yes." The Shadow Assassin explained, "Although the Shadow Master Guild did not directly involve in the Far East trade, they did not stop at placing their own people in those caravans.
Supervise their trade, collect intelligence along the way, so as to facilitate their business. I have made three trips, and the total time I have lived in the Xianglong Empire is more than three years. "
"If you have made up your mind, I will let you go after leaving the Shadow Demiplane. Do you need my help?" Gavin did not change his original promise because of the understanding of the Xianglong Empire shown by the Shadow Assassin.
However much he knows about the Xianglong Empire, how can he know more about those Xianglong people.
He did not collect a lot of intelligence about the Xianglong Empire before, not only because he did not have time, but also because he did not need it.
Now that the Tukan army is surrounded on all sides, it is only a matter of time to completely resolve it, and some things can be prepared.
The Shadow Assassin thought for a while and said: "If possible, I would like to ask the general to resurrect me.
Walking outside as a real shadow is convenient, but there are many restrictions.
When you arrive in the Xianglong Empire, if you are not careful, you will be subdued and killed by those monks as demons and monsters. "
"Resurrection? Can the real shadow be resurrected? "Gavin asked in surprise.
Although he has many real shadows under his command, he has never considered this problem.
The shadow assassin answered confidently: "Yes, but doing so will reverse the light and shadow. The original shadow will become the real body, and the real body will become the shadow. You can't use ordinary resurrection spells, you can only use complete resurrection spells to reshape the body. "
"There is such a saying, let's go out and try it now. "Gavin was immediately interested.
He really wanted to know how the light and shadow were reversed, and what the difference was.
With Gavin's order, the dark light enveloped the Vizeme Manor, expelling all the shadows, and then the shadow power began to converge.
When the sun shone on the manor, the Vizeme Manor had returned to the Three Rivers District of the Battle Valley.
As for the shadow demiplane, the shadow power dissipated, and there was nothing in the original place. Not only did the Vizeme Manor disappear, but the original location of the Shadow Nest also became a flat ground. Soon a large number of shadows surged up and completely submerged the place, as if nothing had happened.
The cold sun in late winter shone on the manor, and it could not be felt. There was no warmth, only endless coldness, which was not directed at the body, but directly penetrated the soul.
All the shadows cast here became unusual and seriously mismatched with themselves, especially the main castle, where the shadow on the ground was clearly a huge castle.
Except for the shadows that were going in and out, no living person could be seen here.
The Vizeme Manor is now famous, and the residents of the Battle Valley will never approach it within two kilometers.
Gavin's mentality has also been adjusted, and he no longer tries to turn the Vizeme Manor into a place for living people to live.
It is the carrier of the immortal divinity and is destined to become a paradise for the undead.
Gavin said to Daphne: "How is your study of the complete resurrection technique going? "
Full resurrection is a nine-ring spell.
It requires eighteen spellcaster professional levels to cast, and the drow priestess has just met the casting conditions.
But meeting the casting conditions is one thing, and being able to cast is another.
Casting requires a lot of time and energy to study.
The highest spell level that many spellcasters can cast does not match their professional level, and Gavin is a typical example.
In recent times, various wars have occurred frequently, and his influence in the East Region of Despair has soared like a rocket. Even if most of his professional experience is absorbed by the milestone of destiny, the remaining small part is enough for his professional experience. The level is rising rapidly.
Compared to when he first came to the East Region of Despair, he has already risen three levels in a row.
But he has no time to study mental magic, let alone spells.
All spellcasting abilities are stagnant.
This is inseparable from the fact that the resources he has are too huge and the equipment he has is too powerful.
When they are enough to help Gavin solve all battles, the need for him to study spellcasting is not too urgent, and it is delayed again and again.
Daphne said confidently: "This is the housekeeping skill of the priest. After being able to cast the Nine Rings spell, I learned it thoroughly at the first time. After all, it is just an upgraded version of the resurrection spell, which is relatively simple to study."
In comparison, the drow priestess is a qualified spellcaster. Even if she can transform into a night shadow, she attaches great importance to her spellcasting ability. (End of this chapter)
