Don't call me evil god

Chapter 256: Build the road directly to the border
"Fair play? That's for sure!"

Bishop Henry agreed without hesitation.

Because he was sure that even without resorting to any unorthodox means, the equipment replaced by the Crusaders would be able to directly flatten the equipment market in Ceylon!
The so-called equipment replaced by the Crusaders was actually a cover-up by Bishop Henry.

What they really want to sell is the equipment made by human blacksmiths!

In the field of forging, human and dwarven blacksmiths have the same starting point.

They all rely on various minerals, with the help of casting magic, to melt, forge, and hammer them into various weapons and armor.

The difference is that.

Dwarves are more favored by the God of Forging. They can obtain more powerful divine blessings, which can make the equipment they forge have better quality.

For example, reducing the weight of armor while making it stronger;

For example, making weapons sharper, more durable, etc.

Because the Crusaders are fighting against the followers of evil gods, monsters and cultists, their equipment enhancement route is to use the glow magic to complete the blessing.

Whether it is the product of a dwarf or a human forger, after being blessed with the divine power of radiance, it will have a better damage effect when fighting against monsters and will be more difficult to be contaminated when resisting attacks...

The point is that the number of human blacksmiths, due to their huge population base, actually far exceeds the number of Stone Castle dwarves!
for example.

The armor made by human forgers is limited by the effect of the casting magic, and its upper limit is to block the attacks of level 1 monsters;

Ordinary armor produced by dwarven forgers has a chance to block damage from tier 2 monsters, and has a higher starting point;

After blessing the dwarf's ordinary armor with the blessing of the divine power of radiance.

You can have a chance to resist the attacks of level 3 monsters.

Adds divine power of glory to the armor of human blacksmiths.

Because the starting point is low, the upper limit is to block the attack of level 2 monsters.

Although from the perspective of "upper limit", the dwarf's equipment is undoubtedly better.

But the equipment sold by human blacksmiths is produced in larger quantities and at lower prices!

For the same piece of armor, the dwarf's product would easily cost 5 or 6 gold coins, while the human blacksmith's product would cost only 2 gold coins, which is quite profitable!
The Crusaders of the Cult of the Radiant, especially those paladins who directly engage in combat with monsters, need to be equipped with the best equipment, so they have to use the dwarves' excellent products.

But those sold to adventurers, mercenaries, and kingdom nobles don’t actually need to be of such high quality!
The price is affordable and the effect is slightly reduced, which is definitely a huge temptation for those who can't afford dwarf products.

The more important point is.

The blessing of the Radiant Divine Art will expire.

The duration of a blessing is about a year or so.

Buying such equipment means that these people will have a closer bond with the Cult of the Light.

Want to maintain the effect of your equipment?

Then you have to come to the priests in charge of the Glowing God Church regularly to bless them!
This is the real purpose of Bishop Henry Tran's attempt to sell "replacement equipment" to the Ceylon market.

With the help of the equipment market, you can gain more voice among the professional community!
……

Petun followed Connie and passed more than thirty signposts. The first thing he saw was not the city wall of Siwei Territory.

Instead, it was a group of workers who were busy building the road!
When Petunia saw this scene, her jaw almost dropped to the ground in shock.

"Building a road in the Dark Forest?!"

This was not one of those muddy country lanes or the dirt roads between towns in Ceylon that were used for horse-drawn carriages.

Instead, it is a spacious avenue that is more than 6 meters wide and carefully paved with stone slabs and gravel!
It is more than enough for four carriages to pass side by side.

Petunia was shocked.

There are only a few important main roads in Ceylon that meet the requirements of this quality, and there are still various alleys and dirt roads in the city.

The conditions in the surrounding towns were even worse. After people walked, horses and cars pressed down the compacted soil, it became the so-called road. Such a road was built so carelessly outside the territory, in the dark forest?

It turns out that the territory of this heretical church is even more powerful than that of the Glorious God Cult!
Establishing a territory in the Dark Forest is already a remarkable achievement.

The Crusaders of the Cult of the Light have been defending the Kingdom of Reyak under the protection of [Past Glory] and have no intention of entering the Dark Forest at all.

It turns out that it’s not enough for them to have their own territory, but they are also planning to carry out this kind of infrastructure project that is difficult to defend and maintain?

This is too outrageous!
Listen to the discussion of the people who are building the road.

In addition to Xiwei Territory, two other territories are also building roads at the same time. Three roads and six construction sites have started construction at the same time and are expected to be completed at the same time.

Once the connecting roads are completed, carriages or other vehicles can be used to travel between the three territories, which can greatly reduce the time of traveling back and forth.

Pete Twain held a mouthful of wine in her mouth.

"You guys are already doing such a luxurious road construction, why not just build the road directly to the border!"

In that case, the carriage he hired from Ceylon City would not have to take him only to the border defense camp.

If Western Territory could build a road of this scale and quality that goes directly to the border of the kingdom, wouldn't it be possible for carriages from Ceylon City to set out in the morning and arrive in Western Territory in the evening?
……

Arriving at the gate of Siwei City, Connie's commission of "leading the way" was considered completed. When Petwin gave the final payment of 8 silver coins, he was filled with regret.

"Hehe, thank you silly... Sorry, I mean, thank you sir!"

Connie couldn't suppress the smile in his voice when he took the coin.

His rough voice and small stature form an extremely contrasting contrast.

He sounds like a big man;

It looks quite small.

It's not that Pete Twain was stingy with money.

There were more than a dozen gold coins in the purse he stole from the treasury at home. Ten silver coins were just a drop in the bucket for him.

The main thing is that it’s not worth the money!

Don’t know the way?
There are road signs along the way, correcting his direction every 500 meters. As long as he follows the trails left by his predecessors, he will basically not go wrong.

in danger?
Petunia now wished she could pull over the brother who had told her how dangerous the Dark Forest was, so that she could see it with her own eyes!

"It's dangerous somewhere!"

He didn't encounter any monster attacks along the way!

He heard it all from the people who were building the road.

If you want to hunt monsters, you must now go deeper into the Dark Forest or enter the forest from other border defense checkpoints.

In the area near the Territory of Xiwei, there are people working in the wild every day to clear out the monsters that wander into the area. This place is now almost as safe as the interior of the Kingdom of Reyak!
Getting his own identity certificate in front of the city gate brought Petunia a lot of surprises.

The territory of this heretical church was even more magical than he had expected.

There are new things that he has never seen in Ceylon!

No wonder it could attract the King’s Army.

After entering Xiwei Territory, I didn't have time to take a look at the situation inside.

Petunia was completely distracted by the various "recruiting voices" that came towards her.
