After crossing into the wizarding world, he quietly became a god
Chapter 28: Fear of Power but Not Virtue
The next day, Richard and his crew, having reorganized themselves, set out on their journey again.
A group of people have been running for a long time and have developed a habit.
For example, Richard, although he was originally an illegitimate child, was recognized as the baron's heir and lived a life of luxury.
In just over a month since I came to Ouyun Continent, not only has my skin become darker, but even the insides of my thighs have calluses from long-term horse riding.
I don’t know if I will be able to sit on a more comfortable mount in the future. I heard that Tunan City also sells magic contract scrolls that can be used to sign a contract with Warcraft, but the price of tens of thousands of gold coins is not something Richard can afford.
However, a third-level wizard can learn the art of wind control, and the sky is the realm that Richard wants to conquer.
After leaving Tunan City, Richard took Hansen and others to the meeting place mentioned by Jenny.
Jenny was already waiting with her motorcade.
Two hundred knights wearing crimson armor were guarding the convoy. Their neat attire and excellent equipment showed at a glance that they were not comparable to the ragtag army like the Green Flag Army.
There were more than twenty carriages loaded with food and building materials, and behind the convoy were thousands of Oyun slaves with their hands tied with ropes.
Compared to the Ouyun soldiers Richard had seen in the past, these Ouyun slaves were obviously much thinner and weaker, and it was estimated that they would not be able to be sold at a high price in Tunan City.
"I plan to take these slaves back to mine," Jenny explained to Richard when she saw that Richard was interested in the Ouyun slaves.
"There is a copper mine next to the town of Teet. We can buy these cheap slaves to dig the copper. After smelting and forging, we can make equipment that can carry enchantments."
"That's why I recruited four wizards this time."
Red copper?
It seems that the output of this red copper ore in Jeff's Kingdom is also very high, and it cannot be sold at a high price.
So do wizards need to enchant equipment to make a profit? Enchanted equipment is hard currency no matter where it goes, especially metal enchanted equipment provided to combat professionals.
Combat professionals who prefer melee combat often experience wear and tear when using metal enchanted equipment. After all, the real world is not a game where durability can be restored with just one click.
Enchanted gear that has been worn enough will no longer have its enchanted effects.
This is also the reason why metal enchanted equipment has been purchased in large quantities in the market.
Soon, the other three wizards also came to the convoy, but this time Bertha no longer had the same enthusiasm for Richard as she had yesterday.
Jenny also introduced the specific situation of Teet Town to the four new members.
Tit Town is a newly built town northwest of Tunan City.
The location is actually at the foot of the Gadlanmon Mountains where the Red Flag Army is stationed, but it is far away from the military road and has long been occupied by the Jeff Kingdom.
Although the Ouyun people are called indigenous people, in fact most of them live on the plains and make a living by growing crops.
Therefore, from a geographical point of view, the town of Tite is unlikely to be attacked by the Ouyun people. On the contrary, because it is close to the Gadlanmon Mountains, it is often attacked by monsters in the mountains.
The town of Teet hunts the attacking monsters to obtain magic materials and magic crystals, but the monsters are not soft persimmons. Instead, because they possess extraordinary emotions and wisdom of wild beasts, they constantly attack the town of Teet, which affects their peaceful life.
For the development of Teet Town, the defense officers regularly carried out hunting operations against the monsters near Teet Town. Both sides suffered casualties, and the battle with the monsters continued.
What Jenny didn't say was that the town of Tite was actually not valued by the owner of this territory, Viscount Fast.
The location of Teet Town is too close to the Gadlanmon Mountains, and the frequent attacks by monsters also make it difficult for Viscount Fast to find many free people willing to settle in Teet Town.
The climate there is not suitable for growing crops. Farming is only possible during the hot summer and autumn. In winter and spring, cold currents will cross the Gadlamon Mountains, and the cold air will freeze the land. There are often hail and blizzards.
Viscount Fast had to accept the advice of Archon Jenny and recruit wizards to make enchanted equipment to make a profit.
……
When food was distributed, the slaves of Ouyun would close their eyes and pray, thanking the great god Ouyun for giving them food.
Although he couldn't understand what the slave of Ou Yun said, Richard could guess that it was definitely the way that the great god Ou Yun harvested the power of faith of the believers. It was probably to thank God for the food he had given.
It’s quite fun to think about it this way.
The slaves of Ouyun thanked God for the food, but the food was actually given by Jeff's soldiers who wanted to kill the great god Ouyun and conquer the entire Ouyun plane.
“Although these natives have become slaves, they have not abandoned their faith.”
Jenny seemed to enjoy talking to Richard. Seeing that Richard was interested in the Ou Yun slaves again, she explained, "The slave owner who sold them to me told me that it would be best not to interfere with their prayers and worship. Apart from their faith, they have been trained to be qualified slaves."
“Oh, I didn’t expect that the followers of Lord Ou Yun would be so devout.”
Richard also became a god in another dimension, so he was naturally interested in how to gain devout believers.
"It's funny to say that these Ouyun slaves have been living a poor life since they were born until they were captured by us. Most of the food they have worked hard to harvest throughout the year has to be handed over to the temple of the great god Ouyun, while they themselves have to live a life of hunger."
"But even with such an oppressive life, these slaves became even more pious to Lord Ouyun. They felt that they were born with sins and needed to work hard all their lives and dedicate their lives to Lord Ouyun in order to redeem their sins."
Richard sighed. Gaining the power of faith by oppressing the people was not what Richard wanted.
"Fearing power but not virtue, the temple has limited the thinking level of the Ouyun people by restricting their thoughts and technological development. They have been trained into a group of fools who only know how to believe."
"If we want to change them, we have to improve their thinking and give them a good education."
"Fear of power but not virtue?" Jenny was a little surprised. She didn't expect these words to come out of the mouth of Richard, a sixteen-year-old wizard.
"If we teach them well, they will be unwilling to mine for us. It's better to keep it this way. If they concentrate on mining for us, the Ouyun slaves will feel that it is the suffering they deserve, and they may work harder in mining."
"..."
It turns out that you are a more brutal slave owner than Lord Ou Yun.
That's fine.
Speaking of which, I have to find a way to gain more power of faith as soon as possible. It feels a bit slow to be promoted to a third-level wizard in two years.
If other wizards knew what Richard was thinking, they would definitely spit at him.
Two years is too slow to become a third-level wizard. Why don’t you just die?
