At first, he planned to make friends with Brian just to facilitate his ability to use the hatred of the dark monarch Glazt to weaken the power of the demon lord when there is a possibility of turmoil in the dark areas in the future.
However, what she, the high priest who had lived in the temple for a long time and had insight into the world, was unexpected that as she gradually explored the inner world and extraordinary talents of the mysterious and powerful mage lord, she found that her interest and curiosity in him were rising like a tide.
The originally calm lake of heart was stirred up by his wisdom and power, and he couldn't help but want to further explore the story behind it.
Once, she personally embarked on a journey to Mokou Town. As the indispensable soul figure in the Temple of Wealth, her eyes were like torches, and with just a glance, she could see through everything.
When she stared at the town that was on the road leading to the desolate Enoak Desert, she found that it was not dead and desolate, but full of vitality and vitality, as if it was an oasis in the desert, gathering all kinds of wealth, which was a prosperous scene created by hard work and wisdom.
In this strategic town, as long as there is an effective management order, it can quickly turn into a magnet, attracting merchants who are ambitious and try to build a stable trade bridge between the central and the distant north.
The reality further confirms this view. Not only are there many independent caravans stationed here to trade, but even the huge and famous caravans under the Temple of Wealth have successfully opened up trade channels with the North, transported countless precious commodities, accumulated huge wealth for the Temple, and also greatly promoted the economic development and cultural exchanges of the entire region.
This is a big bet!
After considering the whole question clearly, the high priest instantly realized what choice he was making.
Goddess of Wealth - this noble existence who was once weakened to almost fall out of the demigods due to the struggles of the gods and the chaos of the world. With her endless control of wealth, her keen insight into trade, her accurate grasp of currency flow, and her deep understanding of the minds of merchants, she miraculously rose from the trough and climbed to the peak area close to the middle divine power in one breath.
In her territory, every trade route is like her bloodline, and the prosperity and decline of each transaction directly affects her source of divine power.
When wars rage and wars rampantly destroy the normal trade order, those prosperous markets become ruins, the busy ports fall into silence, and the circulating currency stagnates, the power of the goddess of wealth will be severely impacted like a river breaks, because the inability to carry out effective trade activities means that she cannot obtain enough power of faith from the world to nourish and enhance her divinity.
However, as the catastrophic event called "The Catastrophe" swept over like huge waves, unprecedented suffering and destruction touched almost every corner of the continent, whether it was a bustling city or a remote countryside, it was not spared.
In this land full of sorrow and devastated, unexpectedly, the divine power of the Goddess of Wealth not only did not appear pale and powerless in the face of disaster, but was gradually declining, but was like a tough seed that broke through the ground, continuously and steadily improved at an amazing speed.
The hidden secret undoubtedly involves a new clergy recently obtained by the goddess - the Merchant Guardian.
This change in identity has made her closer relationship with worldly business activities and transactions, thus allowing her position in people's hearts and the power of faith to be condensed and sublimated than ever before.
At the same time, the temple of the Goddess of Wealth played a crucial role in this catastrophe.
They became a solid fortress for believers to hold their hopes and seek asylum, while the priests in the temple went all out, using the wisdom and power given by the goddess to help the people protect the security of their property and maintain the stability of economic order.
They actively guide believers to resist disasters with a pious heart and seek business opportunities with their eyes of wisdom, and jointly create a solid barrier to resist disasters and protect wealth.
The power of the goddess of wealth was able to go against the current, and her divine power became more and more prominent and deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Her influence was deeply imprinted in every heart on the continent that longed for peace and prosperity with the baptism of this "Aofa Catastrophe".
All of this is closely related to her new clergy and the temple's actions in danger.
However, for the supreme goddess, this undoubtedly touched the boundary line of her power. The invisible barrier seemed to show that it was obviously not a wise move to break through the shackles of medium divine power through the turbulent baptism of disaster and war again through the thunderous force of disaster and war. After all, this method is like drinking poison to quench thirst. Although it can temporarily improve divine power, it will cause irreversible damage to the foundation of believers' beliefs.
Faced with this dilemma, the high priest who was well versed in the world, his wise and keen eyes began to shift quietly, gradually focusing on those rising kingdoms and territories. These areas are like treasure mines with endless potential, ready to go, waiting to bloom with dazzling light.
In a prosperous country, trade exchanges are woven, beating like arteries, injecting continuous vitality into the entire country.
With the vigorous development of the economy, the living standards of civilians are also steadily improving with the rapid progress. The thriving scene makes people yearn for it.
At the same time, the country's wealth accumulation is like green seedlings after spring rain, growing vigorously and rapidly, making the country full of rich and satisfied atmosphere.
The high priest knew very well that behind these accumulated material wealth is the abundance and piety of people's spiritual world. This profound power of faith is the purest and most lasting source of the power to nourish the goddess.
Therefore, she decided to lead the goddess' followers on a path of peaceful development and joint construction of faith, and take this as an opportunity to help the goddess achieve true strength from the inside out, rather than relying solely on conflicts and sufferings in the outside world.
If it continues to develop in this way, the role of the Temple of Wealth in helping civilian merchants or nobles preserve wealth will become an indispensable existence in everyone's life.
If such a prosperous and powerful empire can really continue to develop, it can even allow the goddess to obtain a new protective priesthood. Even if it is promoted to powerful divine power, it is not impossible.
In that prosperous country, the country is prosperous and the people are at peace, and trade activities are at its peak, like a river that flows endlessly, constantly injecting new vitality and wealth.
This is what she decided to take a gamble after carefully considering and weighing the pros and cons of all parties and resolutely devoted herself to the in-depth cooperation with Brian.
