#1223 - The goddess of wealth returns

This can also be regarded as a means for the gods to protect the material plane. The less they know about the lower planes, especially the Abyss and the Nine Hells, the better.

Sometimes ignorance is bliss.

This is the case with the Abyss and the Nine Hells.

If you know too much about it and become more afraid of it, it will only increase the power of the lords of the abyss.

Those abyss lords are all quasi-divine, and they also have the ability to absorb the power of faith and advance to demons. The only difference is that what they absorb is not admiration, but fear.

It is difficult to guide people to be good, especially to make them be good for their whole life.

It often only takes a single thought to lead someone to evil and into the abyss of depravity.

The goddess of wealth Waukeen is a good example. She took a wrong step and became a prisoner of the dark prince Graz'zt, and almost got herself into trouble.

This is so for a god, let alone mortals. Once they fall into the abyss of lies, desires, and power woven by the lords of the abyss, it will be difficult for them to extricate themselves and they will become their spoils of war.

The ancient blue dragon did not react to the words of the goddess of wealth Waukeen. The three high-ranking members of the Waukeen Church who had retreated behind the goddess of wealth Waukeen had already issued congratulations.

In particular, Archbishop Saint Coin said: "We will formulate corresponding policies as soon as possible to implement the will of Her Majesty the Goddess and practice the oracle you issued.

Compliance with contracts is the foundation of good trade. There are too many illegalities in this world, and they should be restrained by the spirit of contract.

We will be the first group of practitioners, using our economic means to regulate and guide the world, so that those who abide by the contract can enjoy wealth and those who break their promises can lose wealth. "

Saranda proved with his own actions that he could become the spokesperson of the goddess of wealth, Waukeen, in the continent of Faerun, relying on more than just fanatical faith.

His understanding of her teachings was also above that of ordinary people. As soon as Woking opened his mouth, he had already thought of the practical steps.

This kind of economic sanctions imposed by the Church of Woking does not have much impact on ordinary people, but it is still very lethal to those businessmen.

Not only because many of their businesses (currency appraisal and exchange, loans) are related to the Church of Waukeen, many businessmen are also very convinced of the Church of Waukeen, or they themselves are believers of the goddess of wealth Waukeen or church members.

Most of them would follow the church's advice and cut off trade with those who betrayed their faith.

Those who break their promises will be unable to move forward and dare not speak out. They will definitely lose huge benefits, which is a heavy blow.

You must think carefully before breaking a contract.

"After I have coordinated everything here, someone will naturally come to find you." After the ancient blue dragon left this sentence, its huge body gradually disappeared in a thunderous storm, just like when it came.

This is not a demonstration.

Tell Gavin and the others that you have the ability to come and go freely in this land.

The strategic deterrent significance of an ancient blue dragon that can teleport freely can be imagined.

When it comes to the size of an ancient dragon, teleporting it won’t be possible with ordinary teleportation spells.

Either have a high enough caster level, or have the methods or tools to break the conventional power.

This is the price you have to pay for your unconventional body shape.

In order to teleport a super-giant size, one must have a caster level of forty or more, which this ancient blue dragon obviously cannot have.

The increase in job level is calculated based on Hit Dice.

The higher the Hit Dice, the more experience points are required to level up.

After all, you are a dragon, and the experience points you need to consume to upgrade your professional level by one level cannot be the same as that of an ordinary person.

After all, experience points are used to transform the body and soul. The higher the life dice, the stronger the body and soul consciousness, and the more difficult the transformation.

This is why those dragons can teleport when they are minors, but rarely use it when they reach adulthood. When they reach the ancient or even prehistoric stage, most of them can only fly.

The ancient blue dragon’s means of teleportation could only be special equipment, most likely the legendary high-level artifact Shane’s Scepter.

I have reached a consensus with Mr. Road Builder and signed an offensive and defensive alliance. He will be my new spokesperson on the ground.

His will is my will, and all you need to do is to cooperate with him to the best of your ability."

What she had seen and heard over the past three months had made the goddess of wealth, Woking, completely determined to put all her chips on Gavin.

If Gavin could achieve greater success, she would surely also make a fortune. Divine power is definitely not as simple as taking a step forward.

On the contrary, if Gavin fails, her power in the continent of Faerun will naturally be greatly impacted and affected.

"We will obey the oracle." The three high-ranking members of the Church of Woking bowed at the same time.

The goddess of wealth, Waukeen, nodded and turned into a golden light, then returned to Gavin's body.

In fact, she is not as weak as she says, especially the closer she is to her religious center in the continent of Faerun, the stronger her strength becomes.

Doing this now is of course intentional.

After all, she is about to return to the kingdom of God, and things on earth require the cooperation of these believers and Gavin.

Before that, of course, we have to support Gavin as much as possible.

Although these believers did not dare to disobey their own oracles, they also had their own interests and little thoughts, and there was a possibility of distortion. She wanted to eliminate this possibility as much as possible.

"Mr. Road Builder, please." Archbishop of Holy Coin said to Gavin enthusiastically.

He was not at all displeased that the goddess of wealth, Waukeen, declared him to be her spokesperson in the continent of Faerun, nor did he feel that his status was shaken.

Because the other party was not a mortal, but a demigod, and the savior of the goddess of wealth, Waukeen. He was equal to the god he believed in, and naturally he was far superior to him.

"I have heard of His Excellency Road Builder's great achievements and have always wanted to visit him, but I was afraid of being presumptuous. I never thought that we were actually a family and that it was His Excellency Road Builder who rescued our goddess from the bottomless abyss.

If you need anything in the future, Mr. Road Builder, just let us know and we will definitely do our best!"

The Archbishop of the Holy Coin praised Gavin all the way and did not hesitate to express his respect and compliments.

This kind of compliment and praise is by no means empty and false compliments, but is meaningful.

He knew everything Gavin had done in the Conqueror's Path, the East, and the Kingdom of Tethyr recently - at least he knew what was on the surface.

It is not surprising to think that the Church of Woking is widely distributed in the continent of Faerun. Wherever there is trade, there may be their believers.

And they would not write the four big words "Wauking Cultist" on their foreheads. If they don't say it themselves, it would be difficult to tell.

After all, the Goddess of Wealth is different from other gods. She does not require believers to talk about their faith all the time. Anyone who engages in business activities and works hard to accumulate wealth is glorifying her.

In his daily life, he probably had a lot of dealings with Woking believers, and the Conqueror's army was probably full of her believers.

For the Church of Waukeen, gathering this intelligence is easy.

Moreover, the roads and trade relations are there - the bonds and relationships between the priesthoods are not fabricated out of thin air, but are reflected by the real relationships in the material plane.

Ordinary people are often the last to feel the impact of the Conqueror's Road on the surrounding areas, while those businessmen with a keen sense of nose are the first to experience it. They often take advantage of the opportunity to take off and make a fortune.

Some people even took the opportunity to complete an identity transition, from a businessman to the manager of a gathering place or village.

In the continent of Faerun, there are very few territories that were truly opened up by pioneering knights. Most of them were opened up by adventurous merchants. Many of the cities that are now famous started as a roadside inn.

In other words, praising Gavin was not just the behavior of the goddess of wealth, Waukeen, but also the behavior of these high-ranking officials in the church.

If not, they would not be able to become the top leaders of the Goddess of Wealth.

The process of belief is the process of pursuing synchronization between thoughts and gods. The more devout the belief, the higher the degree of synchronization.

This is vividly demonstrated in Archbishop of Holy Coin.

Although he was very different from the goddess of wealth Waukeen in terms of appearance, age and gender, Gavin saw a strong shadow of Waukeen in him, which made him wonder if this was one of her divine incarnations in disguise.

This is not an uncommon occurrence in the continent of Faerun.

How can you feel more at ease leaving your church to the believers than doing it yourself?

Since the goddess of wealth Waukeen herself was still in the state of a saint, this possibility was directly rejected.

The so-called saintly state is that the god's divine duties are stripped away, the connection with the kingdom of God is cut off, and the soul is forcibly stuffed into a mortal body.

Most of the abilities of the gods are in a forbidden state - the faith link between believers, the incarnation of divinity, the direct return to the kingdom of God, etc.

The incarnation of divinity was not destroyed, but was sealed into the kingdom of God along with the priesthood, and is in a dormant state. When the soul returns, everything will naturally return to normal.

As they were talking, they had already passed through most of the city of Ascatla and appeared in front of the famous Golden Tower.

At this moment, the place is already bustling with people who are looking forward to it.

There was no doubt that they were all believers of the goddess of wealth, Woking, who had come here upon hearing the news, ready to catch a glimpse of the true face of their goddess.

"Didn't they say that Archbishop Saranda went to greet Her Majesty the Goddess? Why is it a man? I've never heard that Her Majesty the Goddess has this habit!"

"But I sensed the unique aura of Her Majesty the Goddess on him!"

"Should we worship or not?"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"This man is so handsome, his body seems to be shining! I have never seen such a handsome man, ah... I can't take it anymore, I feel like I'm in love!"

"Wake up... Don't you look at your own status? Even if you deliver yourself to them, they won't even look at you..."

"But I feel like he's looking at me!"

"That's not our goddess, but the pioneer of the Conqueror's Road. That Conqueror, I heard that he has now been promoted to a demigod of the road..."

"Then why does he have the aura of the Goddess?"

"I heard rumors that he was the one who rescued Her Majesty the Goddess from the bottomless abyss. It's normal for him to have Her Majesty the Goddess's aura on him!"

Seeing Gavin and his group, the Woking believers couldn't help but talk about it, especially the exclusive priests with powerful perception, who were even more confused and puzzled.

They clearly felt the aura of the goddess of wealth, Woking, in Gavin, but it was not exactly the same.

Some people also recognized Gavin.

"Subjects of His Majesty Waukeen, cheer! Let us welcome the return of our goddess with the most sincere feelings and the most pious voices. The goddess will protect us forever!"

The Archbishop of Holy Coin was surrounded by golden light, and he spoke to the confused Woking believers.

Although the sound was not loud, it reached everyone's ears.

Before he finished speaking, the huge golden-domed temple located above the bay burst into a tangible golden light, which gathered into a beam of light and fell on Gavin.

At the same time, a golden light burst out from Gavin's body, echoing it from a distance, and the two intersected in the air.

"ah!"

A sigh of satisfaction that made people imagine endlessly came from Gavin's soul consciousness.

There was also the sound of breaking glass, as if something was pierced through.

Of course, this golden light was not directed at Gavin, but at the goddess of wealth, Waukin, in his soul consciousness.

All temples are sacred places and are the territories of gods on earth, which are equivalent to national embassies in nature.

The more famous a temple is - it's not about the size. Some temples are even just a small cave or a piece of stone, but because they are holy relics or sanctuaries, they have a very high reputation and can still attract a lot of faith.

There are very few places like this, and most of them have magnificent buildings. Even if they did not originally exist, the gathering of a large number of believers will turn them into luxurious places, because only in this way can they match the gods they believe in.

The Golden Tower is the largest temple of the goddess of wealth Waukeen in Faerun and the core location of the church. Not only the believers, but even many non-believers have heard of its existence.

This is also the reason why the goddess of wealth Waukeen chose to cancel the demon contract with Graz'zt here and return to the kingdom of God.

After hearing the words of Archbishop of Holy Pennies, these Woking believers were still somewhat skeptical.

At this moment, there was no longer any doubt, and everyone knelt on the ground and prayed loudly.

"Praise the goddess of wealth, you will lead us to pursue wealth."

"Praise the goddess of trade, you will protect our trade and bring us wealth."

"Praise the goddess of wealth, we will always follow your footsteps."

Strands of golden light emanated from their bodies and converged directly onto the golden light column, making the golden light blooming from Gavin's body even brighter.

It was as if Gavin was the goddess of wealth and they were kneeling down to him.

"What's wrong? Not enough power? Has the devil contract not been cancelled?" Gavin asked the goddess of wealth Waukin in his soul.

He clearly felt that the road to the kingdom of the goddess of wealth, Waukeen, had been built.

The goddess still remained in her soul consciousness without moving.

The only possibility was that something went wrong in the termination of her demonic contract with Grazzt, causing her to not dare to act rashly.

"That's enough." The charming smile of the goddess of wealth, Waukeen, appeared directly in Gavin's mind. "When I entered Faerun, I already had enough power to cancel the demon contract. I used the power of the temple just to be safe."

"Then why don't you leave?" Gavin said speechlessly.

There are certainly great benefits to having the goddess of wealth squatting in your soul.

But the side effects are also very obvious. Everything in his life has become transparent to her, including the intimacy with his woman.

Well, that doesn't count.

At this point, not only did he not mind the prying of the goddess of wealth, but he was secretly excited. It is estimated that most men are in this situation.

If the person being peeped is a man, that’s another story.

Other than that, it seems that I have nothing to hide.

The goddess of wealth, Wu Jin, was a little dissatisfied and said, "Don't be ungrateful. I didn't leave immediately because I was thinking about you.

Aren't you planning to hold a trade fair at my Textile Festival? I will return to the Kingdom of God at that time, which will attract another wave of faith for you! "

"Don't make it sound so high-sounding." Gavin said mercilessly, "I think it's just to attract some faith for yourself.

Or do you want to make this trade exchange a regular event? Do you want to do it every year? "

"Nothing can be hidden from you!" The goddess of wealth, Wojin, was not embarrassed at all by being exposed. "I have been trapped in this saint state for three years. Of course, I must fully tap its value to make up for the loss. Anyway, I can return to the kingdom of God in a moment!"

People's mentality will change as their circumstances change, and God is no exception.

Three years ago, the laws were shaken, and the gods were driven down from the kingdom of God, and could only walk in the form of saints.

The gods were in a panic and tried various tricks to return to their own kingdom as soon as possible.

The result was a series of stupid moves, with the goddess of wealth Waukin being deceived by the dark prince Graz'zt and imprisoned in the Abyss not being the most miserable.

The worst case was that of Mystra, the magic goddess of the previous generation, who tried to force her way into the ladder - the only gate to the outer plane left by the gods above all gods. However, she was killed by her ex-boyfriend, the guardian god Heim, who was guarding there.

You know, the goddess of magic has great power, while the guardian god Heim has only weaker power.

If it wasn't for the special period of the turbulent years, let alone killing the Magic Goddess, even her slightly more powerful incarnation of divinity might not be her match.

Now that the gods have returned and the restrictions on them have been lifted, the goddess of wealth Waukin is not in a hurry to return.

Because the state of saint is not something that gods can enter whenever they want, she now has uniqueness.

Anything that has something to do with uniqueness will bring unexpected benefits.

As a person who can extract oil from stones, how can he not make full use of this and maximize his profits! (End of this chapter)
