An infinite journey that begins at Hogwarts

Cedric was very satisfied with the performance of the fat man Dolan. The antitrust he talked about was just a sword of Damocles, and it was still too early to actually wield it.

On the contrary, if you want a city or even a country to become strong and prosperous quickly, supporting large-scale consortia is the fastest and easiest way. The profit-seeking nature of capital will liberate all human constraints, quickly plunder all resources, and grow into towering trees.

So now Cedric will not only not suppress Fatty's United Chamber of Commerce, but will also help him become the strongest in the human world of Flanis.

However, there are many things that need to be paid attention to.

Although in this world of individual power, Cedric is not worried about the backlash of capital, but for a race or a country, capital alone is not enough. Even if capital overrides the universal moral identity in the country, although in the early stage, It will be strong and prosperous, but once it encounters natural or man-made disasters, the huge empire will fall apart in an instant. The history of the earth has been rehearsed countless times, and all history is the history of the future.

Of course, Cedric would not hope that the empire he created would fall apart in an instant after he held the Kingdom of God high and was not allowed to interfere with the mortal world.

But these are things that need to be considered later. The most important thing now is to help Dolan's Chamber of Commerce grow quickly.

After thinking for a while, Cedric said, "After I finish meeting the guests later, you can come to my study alone."

An abnormal flush appeared on the fat man's face. Although Cedric understood the fat man's mental activities at this moment, he still couldn't help but feel a chill.

"What about the rest of the population?" Cedric turned to look at Ink.

Mo Mo said solemnly, "This is also the biggest problem we are encountering now."

"Previously, Cresto City had a total population of 30, but 20 of them were floating population, of which professionals accounted for %. Without the leadership of a strong city lord, the residents under its jurisdiction were not interested in this. The city does not have a strong sense of belonging. After our census, although we divided freemen and citizens, there are very few people who are willing to take the initiative to become citizens, and most of them have a wait-and-see attitude."

Cedric nodded. There are many adventurers, criminals, mercenaries and businessmen here. Although they are well-informed, they are not aware of the epic that happened in Joseph's Garden in the heroic realm. Under the premise of worrying about the orc cavalry, It is normal to not have a strong sense of belonging to the city.

"As soon as possible, you should perfect a mature set of laws that can be accepted by everyone. This is the basis for ensuring a sense of belonging. As for how to condense a sense of belonging, leave this matter to me."

The best way to condense a sense of belonging is to have a brutal war, but in the current form of war with the orcs, Cedric estimates that at least three-quarters of the population will take advantage of the chaos and flee.

This method doesn’t work, and the only thing left is to enfeoff the land. In this backward world, land has an irresistible attraction for ordinary people and even professionals. In the past, the entire fertile land of Cresto City was destroyed by the invasion of orcs. They are all semi-uninhabited land.

Cedric can use it to divide his subjects at will, but the prerequisite is that ordinary people must believe that he can protect them under the iron cavalry of the orcs.

The above methods almost formed a deadlock, so Cedric had to find another way.

The extraordinary knowledge of professionals undoubtedly has great appeal to ordinary people. Cedric decided to open a school for professionals in mainland civilization to gather a sense of belonging.

However, this is a huge project that can only be carried out at the same time as the orc war and complement each other.

Other than that, the only option is to introduce true gods to settle in Dawn City. The value of the oracle in this world is still quite high. As long as it is not a certain death situation, ordinary believers will take up arms for the oracle and defend their homeland.

This is a shortcut, but you need to control the key, Cedric made a mental note.

There is nothing left that can unite the pride of a region more than building a miracle.

In the original world, when Cedric played Red Alert, he actually never understood why building a miracle would unite people's hearts. Now he understands.

If a floating city can rise above New Dawn City, it will be no less than winning a war against the orcs, so this is a top priority.

If you want to build a new floating city, you need to meet three requirements: technology, resources, and Myser energy core.

The first floating city created by the great arcanist Iolum now seems to be just a huge flying toy. However, in the late period of the Netheril Empire, a complete floating city was enough for most of the true gods' saints. The person incarnates fear.

A true floating city should have the following technical hard indicators: magic cannon, intelligent golem puppet, arcane tower, mystery lock, floating city intelligent core, and self-enclosed ecosystem.

It is a space carrier that can truly find a new home on the magical side in the vast universe. A legendary mage tower needs to have an independent demi-plane, and a complete floating city must be loaded with at least six legendary mage towers. This is enough to explain that the floating city Technically difficult, it can be called the pinnacle masterpiece of arcane magic, comparable to Karsus's Divine Conferment Technique.

Although it is almost impossible for ordinary legendary mages in this world to independently complete all the technologies of the Floating City, for a godly alchemist like Cedric who has authority, the technical difficulties of the Floating City are only There are a few, although he can't completely reproduce them, but with the help of the knowledge of the heavens, he can definitely do better after breaking through lv3 and moving towards lv4.

The second difficulty in the floating city is the Myser Energy Core, which is a great magic device created by Iolum that can be absorbed directly through the magic network.

However, after the incident of Karsus' deification, the reborn Goddess of Magic has realized the danger of arcane civilization. She added a patch to the magic network to prohibit the creation of new Myser energy cores.

However, Cedric had another method. Although he could not reveal his clergy until he became a medium-level god, if this clergy was condensed into an entity, it could replace the Myser Energy Core, or even do better.

So Cedric can ignore this difficulty.

The only thing that made him feel uncomfortable was the resources needed to create a floating city. As expected, there was only one condition that restricted the growth of all alchemists, and that was money, even he, the Alchemist of God, was no exception.

It would be best to find a fallen floating city, Cedric thought as he walked towards the study.

Hong Ji obediently served the tea. Cedric looked at the bald man who stood up and said with a smile, "Hello, Master Mordenkainen."
