Rise from the coffin and rebuild the vampire empire

Chapter 71 What is your background?
In Uther's opinion, there was something that Ravi said that was actually very true.

If you want to make a living out there, you do need a background.

So now, Uther couldn't help but ask, what is your background, Ravi?
The Duke of Durham.

And what is Uther's background?
Lord Karen! The Blood King!

Although Uther was not clear about what this concept specifically meant, he was able to get a glimpse of Lord Karen's power from some descriptions of the dwarf blacksmith Granny Oak.

The Blood King of the Blood Empire was erased from human history. Thousands of years ago, Gorgor, the Dwarf High King of the Mountain Kingdom, the legendary "Dragon Slayer", personally forged weapons for him!
These few words had already made Uther see how powerful Karen was, and these were probably just the tip of the iceberg.

Uther didn't even dare to think about it. How could Ravi dare to compare his background with his?

The Duke of Durham is probably not worthy of standing in front of Lord Karen. Even the current emperor of the empire is nothing in front of Lord Karen.

"With less than half an acre of land, we produced nearly 400 kilograms of salt. I love this guy on the Internet. He's quite capable and a man of action."

Karen sat in a chair, looking at the report on the table, and sighed. He didn't know what Uther was thinking, but was surprised by the results of "I Love the Internet".

What’s even more surprising is that there is still a lot of room for optimization.

"have a look."

Karen threw the report to Uther, asking him to see some good news.

Uther, still emotionally excited, took the report, a little confused, and then was immediately surprised by the results.

This output is much higher than that of boiling sea water to make salt. Not only can it solve the urgent need for salt in Wangbo Port, it can even be exported!

Not only can you save the high cost of buying salt, but you can also sell the salt. The economic benefits generated from this round trip are huge!

"This method must be protected!"

Uther realized this. To put it bluntly, this method is actually not complicated, and it is not difficult for others to learn it.

"We'll keep it going as long as we can. If we can't, the most we can do is lower the price of salt. This method isn't applicable to every place, and not every place has such high output. Sword Bay still has some advantages."

According to [I Love Surfing the Internet], the Sword Bay area has sufficient sunlight, suitable temperature, high salt concentration in the seawater, and flat terrain. It can be said to be a perfect place for salt production.

Even if others learn the method, they can still maintain some geographical advantages, which others cannot learn.

Karen is not greedy. No matter what the result is, the salt will bring good economic benefits to Wangbo Port.

"Master Karen! Big brother, the interrogation is over!"

Karen and Uther were surprised by the salt incident. John and Trevor, who had just finished interrogating Ravi and the others, hurried over.

"How is it? How many professionals are there?"

Uther's attention immediately turned back, and he asked anxiously. This was the most important thing. Although he had great confidence in Lord Karen, whether it would work or not still depended on Lord Karen himself. His thoughts were just imagination.

"A Dawn of Glory Archbishop, a Lionheart Knight leading the charge, a Kingdom Knight Lieutenant, five Exploration Knights, eight Chivalrous Knights, and fifteen ordinary knights. Oh, yes, we captured one Chivalrous Knight, so there are seven left."

John spoke with a serious expression. There were quite a lot of professionals here. There were thirty knights of all levels. If he remembered correctly, there were only a little over a hundred soldiers in total! "It seems that there are still ships that haven't arrived yet, or maybe their ships will go back to pick them up. But there shouldn't be more professionals coming, right?"

Uther was also surprised after hearing this. He could only say, worthy of being the Duke of Durham, he was so generous! It was just a colonial settlement, and he even sent the Lionheart Knight!

Of course, the Church of the Dawn of Light has already sent an archbishop. Even if it is just to show respect, Duke Drum has to arrange for a Lionheart Knight to accompany him, which can also be regarded as a demonstration of his determination to build a city in the New World.

"I remember the last time I went to Stone Forest Port, there seemed to be news that the Church of the Radiant Dawn was going to send pastors to Stone Forest Port to establish a church?"

Karen suddenly raised a question, which made Uther and the other two stunned.

"Yes, there is such news."

Uther nodded, as he had found out about this.

"So, are we going to build two churches? But at this stage, Durham is far from being a place where churches can be built, right? Stone Forest Port has been developing for a long time. Do we really want an archbishop to wait here for that long?"

Karen found this very strange, so was it possible that the archbishop was not actually permanently stationed in this new colony?
"Could it be a boat trip?"

Trevor looked suspicious and felt it was unreliable.

"The Church of the Radiant Dawn can't even afford a boat, right?"

John also complained that after all, it was the most powerful church in the empire, and it shouldn't be so cheap that the archbishop had to piggyback on someone else's ship.

"No, that's not necessarily true. Don't forget, there are churches from other churches in Shilin Port. The Church of the God of Travel has been established long ago. Logically, it belongs to the sphere of influence of the God of Travel, as well as the Goddess of Commerce. They jointly protect Shilin Port."

Uther held a different opinion on this. Stone Forest Port was not a traditional parish of the Church of the Radiant Dawn. Even Stone Forest Port itself could not be considered the traditional sphere of influence of the empire.

The God of Travel and the Goddess of Commerce are allies in the traditional sense, because the believers of the Goddess of Commerce mostly travel around the world and do business everywhere. When they encounter trouble, they will occasionally pray for protection from the God of Travel and the God of Roads.

If you think about it this way, it's possible that the Archbishop of the Church of the Dawn of Glory came here secretly to avoid trouble.

Now Shilin Port is the territory of the empire. Even if it is autonomous, it is still the territory of the empire in name. As long as the archbishop arrives in Shilin Port, it will be a natural thing for him to build a church.

The difficulty lies in how to get there in a high-profile manner. There are so many ways to kill an archbishop on the sea.

And yet, there's nothing wrong with them. With strong winds and rough waves and sea beasts roaming everywhere, others can die, but you, a pastor of the Church of the Radiant Dawn, can't die? Do the wind and waves know you? Do the sea beasts know you?

"Duke Durham, there have been rumors that he actually believes in the goddess of the sea, right?"

Uther went on to say that this made more sense, as Duke Durham had every motivation to help the archbishop.

The Ocean Goddess and the God of Travel are in a competitive relationship, and they would do anything to strike a blow to their competitor.

"I'll understand everything once I go there."

Karen smiled. People always talk about the affairs of gods. The main reason is that these gods don’t have the ability to “make everyone know what they say”. It won’t matter if you talk behind their backs.
