I came to this world to enlighten the gods

Chapter 605 Shanghai New Town
"I heard that you have detected news about the dwarf kingdom. What's the specific situation?" Li Qing directly asked the most concerned question.

The pirate group established by Paladin Hill has been secretly looking for the New World, and has found nothing for nearly a year.

They thought it would be a long-term mission, but they accidentally discovered a dwarf kingdom.

Although there were also dwarves in the Ming Kingdom, most of them wandered here and did not form a system, but an independent kingdom is different.

Whether it is trade or conquest, it will bring great benefits. It should be noted that dwarves are born master forges, and the weapons they forge are excellent and durable.

If you cooperate with a mage, you can even create enchanted weapons. Think about how many territories a knight can charge with an enchanted weapon.

The Duke of Berkeley only felt his heart beating and his eyes flickering. The king brought him to see Dongchang Fanzi to show that the Duke of Berkeley also had the opportunity to participate.

A Dongchang fan named Harry hurriedly reported: "The Dwarf Kingdom is located [-] miles to the southeast. We dare not disturb them. We will return immediately after the preliminary investigation. This is information about the Dwarf Kingdom."

After speaking, he handed over the information, and Li Qing took it over and looked at it carefully, feeling strange in his heart.

This dwarf kingdom is very powerful, no less than the Ming kingdom, and more importantly, the dwarves also have churches, many of which have exactly the same organizational forms as the human race.

Similar to the Ming Kingdom, there are many churches in the Dwarf Kingdom, with a total of [-] churches. The gods they believe in are very similar to the popular dwarf pantheon.

This information is very important, indicating that most of the gods of the dwarf pantheon have recovered and are relying on the dwarf kingdom to rapidly increase their strength.

Now that the fog world's blockade of the gods has been weakened, the restrictions on the dwarven gods are getting smaller and smaller, and the fourteen gods are more powerful than the heavenly gods.

After digesting this information, Li Qing thought about passing the information to Berkeley, and then said to Kerry: "It seems that your dream of going back to be a lord may come to nothing."

"It is my honor to fight for His Majesty"

Kerry knelt down on one knee and said respectfully, not feeling regretful in his heart, but eager to try.

After pondering for a while, Li Qing said, "You don't have to worry too much. I will set up a knight training camp in your territory. You can help me train knights while developing the territory. It's hard to say whether war will break out."

While Li Qing was communicating with Kerry, Berkeley quickly browsed through the information.

Then he said with a heavy face: "The strength of the dwarf kingdom is no worse than ours. I'm afraid it won't work by force. My suggestion is to trade with them, make profits through trade, and then investigate the intelligence of the dwarf kingdom."

"You and I want to go together"

Li Qing nodded. It is the most stupid way to fight against the dwarf kingdom. Even if you want to conquer the dwarf kingdom, you don't have to go to war.

Sometimes trade dumping is worse than war!

"Let's get on the boat and go to the new city to have a look. It's closer to the Dwarf Kingdom, and it's also the front line to deal with the Dwarf Kingdom."

Li Qing said in a deep voice, and ordered the accompanying knights and mages to board the boat. The Sun Moon Merchant Guild has 7 boats in Daybreak City, which cannot accommodate so many people.

Therefore, Grand Duke Berkeley dispatched the Dawn City Navy, and personally boarded the ship to accompany Li Qing to the new city.

The new city is located in the southeast of the Daming Kingdom. It is a newly built trading city based on the Xiaoxiao City. It has been built for half a year.

Originally, the Duke of Berkeley was not worried about the appearance of the new city, after all, it was three hundred miles away, but the appearance of the dwarf kingdom made him a little worried.

If the trade with the Dwarf Kingdom is opened up there, many business routes can completely avoid Daybreak City and change to the new city under construction.

Dawn City will inevitably fall into decline.

Huge merchant ships sail in the sea, riding the wind and waves. Only when they go deep into the ocean can they realize their own insignificance and the horror of nature.

Even the most experienced captain can't guarantee that he can survive every storm safely. Therefore, most sailors worship the goddess of the sea and borrow the power of the goddess to pray for blessings.

It's a pity that none of the fourteen gods of the heavenly pantheon has the priesthood of the ocean, so they can only believe in the spring of water and the goddess of peace, Edas.

The water spring and the realm of Adas, the goddess of peace, have little effect in the sea, and sailors can only be better than nothing.

The clergy possessed by a pantheon needs to be closely related to believers, and it does not have to be comprehensive, but it must be helpful to believers. This is the greatest virtuous circle between humans and gods.

Since Li Qing boarded the ship, he has been staying in the cabin and seldom goes out. Three hundred miles is far or near, at least it will take two or three days.

It wasn't until the newly built city that I left the cabin, and I could see the huge dragon flag waving in the wind from a distance.

The pier has been built, and there are a few merchant ships parked here and there, all of which are chambers of commerce within the kingdom. Other territories do not know that there is an additional pier here.

More than 20 large ships docked, and the city had already noticed that a knight order was approaching rapidly, and there were mages on guard on the shore.

Paladin Hill is now on the pier. Seeing Li Qing and others get off the boat, he hastily bowed and said, "Your Majesty is welcome to inspect the new city."

"Okay, you've worked hard recently"

Li Qing walked towards Hill with a smile. He was responsible for both managing the territory and finding new continents. Hill has been very busy recently.

Looking at this newly built wharf, this wharf city carries the hope of developing in the southeast direction.

"The city has already seen its scale in half a year, it's not easy for you"

Hill is very excited. He is most proud of working hard to be recognized. He has witnessed a city from nothing to its present scale. He really likes this city.

Immediately smiled and said: "Since Your Majesty likes this place, it happens that this place has not been named yet, how about His Majesty naming this city?"
“Also good”

Li Qing agreed with a smile, looked around in thought, and then said dumbly: "This is a port city, and most of the supplies of the Ming Kingdom are shipped from here to all over the world. How about calling it Shanghai?"
"Shanghai?"

Hill carefully considered the name, and the more he thought about it, the better it sounded. Although it was simple, it was very vivid.

"Let's go, find a place to settle down first, we will live here for a while," Li Qing ordered, and then said to Hill: "Knight Hill, follow me around the city."

The others left alone, knowing that the King and Hill had something to say alone.

The two were visiting this newly built city. Because it was a new city, there were not many people in the city.

There are no local residents here, so most of the city is filled with members of the chamber of commerce and family members of soldiers.

"Your Majesty, although we have discovered the Dwarf Kingdom, they don't seem to be easy to deal with." Hill hesitated to speak.

Li Qing asked curiously: "How can I see it?"
"The dwarves are straightforward and not good at communicating with people. They are very wary of outsiders. It may be difficult to get in touch with them."

"Whoever said that dwarves are difficult to contact, it is just that they have been deceived by the human race."

A rough voice suddenly sounded from behind.
