Rise from the coffin and rebuild the vampire empire

Chapter 95 The Abandoned

Uther quickly calmed down, mainly because Lord Karen was too calm, which made him feel embarrassed to continue to get excited.

"By the way, Lord Karen, the site selection for the Dawn Radiance Church in Stone Forest Harbor has begun."

After calming down, Uther talked about the other news he had heard. This was currently the hottest topic in the entire Stone Forest Port.

"As expected."

Karen nodded. Since Archbishop Rios had come here, the Church of the Dawn of Glory must be built.

The travelers, the merchants, and the Earl of Stone Forest Port, these three groups finally held back. None of the three groups took action, allowing Archbishop Rios to arrive at Stone Forest Port smoothly.

The only person in the New World who caused Rios some trouble was Karen, but Karen's target was not him.

"Don't you think others will take action?"

Uther spoke with a strange look on his face. Did the three parties, the Church of the Wanderer, the Church of the Goddess of Commerce, and the Earl of Stone Forest Port, so willingly accept the result of the Church of the Dawn's Radiance coming to share a piece of the pie?
"It's not impossible."

Karen smiled, but it was pointless to say these things now. The entry of the Church of the Dawn into Stone Forest Port had become an established fact. The originally harmonious situation in Stone Forest Port would definitely change because of this, which was not a bad thing for them.

"Let them fight, and we will develop with peace of mind."

Uther obviously also understood that the more fiercely these people fought, the better. They would definitely not get involved anyway, so he could develop with peace of mind.

Soon, the salt was transported away. The merchant who took over was very satisfied with the quality of the salt, and Uther also received the payment smoothly.

However, these golden dragons did not remain in Uther's hands for long, and he soon exchanged them for various crops.

A lot of wheat, barley, rye and oats were bought. Of course, barley and rye were the main items. Wheat was too luxurious and ordinary families rarely bought it. As for oats, the camp was not in such a shortage that they had to eat oats. Oats were mainly bought as animal feed.

In and out, salt was exchanged for food. Although the amount of food exchanged was several times more, it was still distressing. Wangbo Port actually needed a lot of things urgently. Now they earned a lot of gold royals but could only buy food.

There is no way around it. This is the price that must be paid for the rapid expansion of Wangbo Port.

The country is unable to be self-sufficient in food, the population has increased suddenly, and the consumption of stored food has increased. The country can only rely on importing food to make up for the gap.

Speaking of population issues, Uther suddenly thought of something else.

"Lord Karen, I met some abandoned people in Stone Forest Port today."

Standing with Karen and watching the boatmen carrying food, Uther mentioned a strange thing he had encountered today.

"The Forsaken?"

Karen was stunned for a moment and looked at Uther with some confusion. What was this?
"It's a group of humans who worship vampires."

Uther explained. This was actually his first encounter. After all, the Forsaken were always hated within the Empire and rarely showed their faces. It was said that there were many of them in the northern kingdoms, wandering everywhere, without a fixed place to stay. "They seem to be protesting the arrival of the Church of the Dawn."

Uther continued, "Can the free city of Stoneforest Port truly remain free after the Church of the Dawn's Radiant Light enters? Can it truly maintain the tolerance it once had?"

This is definitely very important for those "abandoned ones", because the Church of the Dawn of Light is not polite to them. Basically, they will strictly interrogate and question them when they see them, hoping to search for traces of the vampires through them.

Therefore, there are relatively few "abandoned people" wandering within the empire, and most of them have left the empire and wandered in other countries.

It is not surprising that there are wandering "abandoned people" in Stone Forest Port, a free city that tolerates everything and treats everyone equally.

"."

Karen was silent. He really didn't expect that with the vampires' current situation in the human empire, there would still be humans who worshipped the vampires?

The Blood Clan Empire existed thousands of years ago. These humans had never experienced the glory of the Blood Clan Empire, so why would they worship the Blood Clan? Worship a bunch of stray dogs?
Are they all descendants of devout citizens of the Empire?
Are they the descendants of the imperial citizens who refused to submit to the conquerors after the empire's fall?
It has been passed down from generation to generation and formed such a nation?
Karen couldn't help but click his tongue. If that was really the case, then he felt that Wangbo Port should absorb a large number of these "abandoned people".

Now the people of Wangbo Port are still in a state of fear rather than reverence for his existence and the existence of the vampires.

There is no way. The short ruling time is one reason, and the empire’s long-term propaganda is another reason. If we want to reverse their cognition and change their attitude, it will probably take a long time. At least we have to wait for the next generation to come out and grow up before we can do it.

The next generation, having grown up in this kind of environment and with this kind of cognition, will naturally get used to the existence of vampires, accept their rule, and even aspire to become vampires themselves.

However, the emergence of these "abandoned people" made Karen see the possibility of accelerating the progress of this cognitive transformation.

If we join a group of such "abandoned people" in Wangbo Port, a group of "abandoned people" who have always inherited the tradition of "blood worship", perhaps we can influence other people and make it easier for them to accept this change.

Human beings are creatures with a strong herd mentality. When most people act like this, the minority will change themselves and move closer to the majority of the crowd.

Of course, this idea is just a thought now. Whether it can be implemented depends on when Wangbo Port can become self-sufficient.

Wangbo Port has just experienced a population boom. If it attracts a bunch of "abandoned people" again, the logistics will really explode.

Furthermore, how to attract the "abandoned" is also a problem.

You can't just expose yourself openly and release the news that Wangbo Port is ruled by the vampires. If you do that, the first people to arrive will definitely not be the "abandoned", but the army of the Church of the Radiant Dawn and the Empire.

Moreover, the Free City's approach does not work in Wangbo Port, because compared with Shilin Port, Wangbo Port is indeed not free enough.

At the dock of Shilin Port, pirate ships and merchant ships can be moored side by side, which is absolutely impossible at Wangbo Port.

"Let's go back first. We'll talk about this later."

Karen thought about it for a while and finally shook his head. In the current situation, there was no need to go to great lengths to contact these "abandoned people". It was not the right time yet. The development of Wangbo Port should be prioritized.
