Abyss Domination

Winning over the Goddess of Agriculture was only part of Sauron's plan.

After returning from Harvest City, his second goal was the somewhat dilapidated City of Fortune.

Sauron's visit was also a big event for the City of Fortune, but he did not alarm anyone, but quietly entered the deepest part of the Temple of Fortune.

There are two priests of the Holy Spirit in charge of guarding here.

If you use one sentence to describe the Temple of Wealth, then there is no doubt that it is resplendent and magnificent. The entire temple looks like it is shining with gold, and the walls are even inlaid with gems as decorations. But there should be no blind thieves coming here, because this is simply asking for death.

In the magnificent temple, Sauron saw the body of the goddess of wealth.

Not surprisingly, the Goddess of Wealth is indeed hiding in this city, after all, this is her base camp.

The appearance of the Goddess of Wealth is an elegant and graceful aristocratic woman, with beautiful long golden hair, wearing a light golden lace dress, a beautiful huge emerald necklace on her full chest, and a goose on her hairband. Gemstones the size of soft stones, she wears various precious jewelry rings on her fingers, many patterns are painted on the golden shawl, and many pearls are inlaid on the boots made of gold silk. The golden beauty who can move.

This goddess loves gold.

Gold and jewels gleam in almost everything she loves, and the goddess is kind to Sauron's presence, at least on the surface.

- Goddess of Wealth - Woking.

Almost every goddess of wealth has this name, but unlike the previous goddess of wealth, the current goddess of wealth is a young and hardworking goddess, she is full of vigor and vitality. She loves wealth very much, but not for its own value, but more for its use. She loves the hustle and bustle of the market and loves to haggle. She's in charge of all transactions, on and off the table - legitimate and black market transactions alike. While she's interested in reforming, she can also display a stubborn side that sometimes gets her into trouble.

The Goddess of Wealth's camp is [absolutely neutral].

That is to say, the goddess may cooperate with any deity, good or evil.

Followers of Volking travel the world, helping merchants with their transactions and serving the temples of Volking in the major cities. The Temple of Woking is often also a local financing center, currency exchange center, and depository. And provide channels for the sale of stolen goods in private, all activities are for the purpose of obtaining wealth. Woking's clergy must hand over a quarter of all their income to the church, and are obliged to invest in profitable businesses run by other pious believers.

Although the Woking Church on the surface seems to disdain the use of rumors, monopolies, and hiring bandits to manipulate trade activities, and criticizes the above methods and has always denied that it has committed these acts, but in private it asks the pastor We must use these methods in the most secret way, so that no one will suspect that these actions have something to do with the Church.

Amassing your own wealth is considered synonymous with success in the church. Of course, the premise must be that the money is earned through investment rather than through improper means.

somehow.

Woking's church philosophy is very similar to modern society, which is a typical money worship.

Wealth was seen as a sign of success, and a person who was able to make money and have a lot of money could easily achieve a high enough status in the church. Woking's believers don't care about means, they will use a lot of shady tricks, but they still maintain their brilliance on the bright side.

welcome.

The goddess Wojin greeted Sauron with a smile, and behind her five beautiful maids of the Holy Spirit gradually emerged: Your Excellency, shadows rule.

These five holy spirits are very famous.

They were beautiful, powerful and ambitious women during their lifetime. These women are the top businessmen, the most powerful diplomats, and extremely powerful professionals. To be remembered - Ballasta Serries, Della Isgil, Fezay Garbrus, Helena Jaxia, Sarilla Tabrantin.

They are the most important [Shangjin] members in the Woking Church.

The strength of an old-fashioned god can be known from the Holy Spirit behind it. Although the Goddess of Wealth is not strong enough, she has a lot of background.

The five maids quickly arranged the long tables and seats in the temple, almost as extravagant as they could be. The pure golden wine glasses and utensils were inlaid with precious stones, and huge pearls were placed in front of them like decorations. Even ordinary people Even the wealthiest king in the world can't compare with what is in front of him.

Sauron smiled and sat down. He looked at Goddess Wojin in front of him and said, I came this time to hope to form an alliance with Your Excellency.

certainly.

I also have a very good idea that I need to discuss with you.

Goddess Wojin smiled and looked at Sauron with a slightly playful expression. She was a tall and slender beauty, just like the most famous and luxurious lady. Have you been to Harvest City just now?

Sauron smiled, took a glass of wine from the maid, tasted the wine, and said with a smile, Yes. I just made an intimate covenant with the Goddess of Agriculture.

Woking looked thoughtful.

Sauron stared at the goddess in front of him, and said directly: I plan to build a bank. A bank in the real sense. Let's start with Modo City first, so I think Your Excellency Woking will also be interested in this.

Woking's expression changed slightly upon hearing this.

Immediately, she smiled and said, I don't know what your Excellency Sauron thinks? If you don't mind, maybe you can tell me.

bank.

Just by hearing the name, it must be related to her priesthood.

After finishing speaking, the Goddess of Wealth waved her hand and signaled the five maids on the side to step back.

Sauron thought for a while, and then began to speak slowly. What he was talking about was not how to create a bank, but the role of a bank and its future prospects. To some extent, what Sauron is describing is the bank of the future, a bank that is needed by all people, that can be used for any transaction, and has a very, very important role of deposits.

current level of civilization.

Most ordinary people do not have excess wealth, so it is impossible to save money naturally. At most, it is needed by nobles and merchants, but most of the time they protect it by themselves.

Sauron described another situation.

An era in which all have excess wealth and all need banks to deposit.

Ms. Woking had been listening quietly all the time, but later her expression became more and more agitated, as if she had seen the scene described by Sauron, and she could almost foresee that if all this was achieved, her power would become stronger and stronger , will almost certainly enter the range of powerful divine power.

At this time, Sauron proposed an alliance agreement.

Without any hesitation, the Goddess of Wealth readily agreed, because she knew very well that it was impossible to achieve everything Sauron described by relying on her own strength alone. This is a mutually beneficial cooperation, she has what Sauron needs, and Sauron has what she needs.

This time the alliance is not as strong as the goddess of agriculture.

Sauron didn't ask for the covenant of the true god, because he couldn't trust the goddess Wojin like he did to the goddess of agriculture, and the goddess of wealth didn't see the real benefits, so she might not be willing to go all-in with Sauron.

but.

Unsurprisingly, Sauron convinced the other party.

At least the prospect of wealth for all, everyone needing access to a bank, and anyone being her disciple convinced her. The Goddess of Wealth simply cannot resist this temptation. If all this can be done, her believers will no longer be limited to businessmen, and everyone will be closely related to her priesthood.

So.

The Goddess of Wealth seemed impatient to say: Your Excellency Sauron, when will our plan start?

Sauron smiled and shook his head, No hurry.

Establishing a bank is not an easy task. It requires sufficient strength and reputation. And at present, mortals have not accumulated much wealth. From the current situation of the material plane, there are only Modo City, Tyro Port, and Shipwreck Bay. And Arendelle, those few places have the capacity to build a bank.

It takes a little time to prepare.

Also. We need a strong enough armed force. After all, there are many dragons in the material plane.

The biggest trouble in setting up a bank is nothing else.

That's right!

It's those damn dragons.

These pure-blooded dragons who can't control their brains at the sight of wealth and gold are definitely the biggest enemy of the bank when they go crazy.

Perhaps these giant dragons dare not offend Sauron and the Goddess of Wealth, but when wealth accumulates to a certain level, even the ancient dragons may have a headache. Maybe they are not the opponents of the two gods, but if the bank is opened to other places, these giant dragons are very likely to attack places that they don't care about.

10,000 Kindlers, maybe the dragon doesn't care.

100,000 Kindlers, maybe the dragon is just heartbroken.

But when a million Kindlers are piled up, these giant dragons are probably already thinking about how to act in their minds.

Banks can never make mistakes.

Not even the slightest possibility, so this plan needs enough time to prepare. However, it is currently impossible for Sauron to issue banknotes. In the current civilizational background and turbulent period, Sauron has never considered the issue of paper currency issuance.

Hearing Sauron's words, the Goddess of Wealth couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

Okay. Woking looked up: This really requires a detailed plan.

As if thinking of something, the Goddess of Wealth suddenly turned her eyes, and her eyes fell on Sauron. Then she smiled gracefully, slightly lifted the corner of her skirt and leaned over, revealing the seductive ravine in front of Sauron, playing with taste: I think there are still many aspects of this plan that need to be discussed in detail. Why don't His Excellency Sauron stay here tonight, so we can have a long talk tonight.

Maybe we can get closer to each other.

Sauron was taken aback for a moment, and then readily accepted the invitation from the Goddess of Wealth.
