Chapter 614 The “Price” Of “Good Intentions” (8000)

"Okay!"

After getting Matthew's promise, Anthony's face was suddenly full of smiles.

For his legendary druid with changeable expressions, Matthew couldn't help but sigh in his heart:

"Sure enough, the stronger the professional, the more distinct the personality, and he doesn't hide his temperament at all."

The reason is naturally very simple. People with unclear thoughts often cannot truly master their thoughts, souls and bodies.

Only professionals who think clearly and find their own path can have such firm ideas and thoughts.

They can be insidious, cunning, greedy, and cruel, but they usually don't change their minds.

Because they know what they want.

And it is precisely because of such firmness and thorough thinking that they can go further on the path of professionals.

Of course, for the vast majority of ordinary professionals.

They are often people bound by power, and they will not have such a deep understanding, and naturally they cannot reach such a height.

Only some extraordinary professionals, as well as stronger legends, and even demigod-level existences, can truly master their souls and wills.

This is also why they are often so rare.

Even for the gods, such believers and subordinates are hard to come by.

Therefore, they hope that there will be more and more believers under their command, and the chance of producing such talents will be greater and greater.

And the great druid in front of him is a legendary peak strongman that the Mother Earth values ​​very much.

Anthony now is one of the strongest druids in the northern continent.

When the first magic tide comes, Anthony will become one of the strongest druids in the entire material plane.

Matthew clearly remembers that Anthony will break through the shackles of demigods in the future, successfully ignite the divine fire, ascend the throne, and become a general under the Mother Earth.

It is precisely because of this that Matthew has made up his mind to "cooperate" the moment he saw Anthony coming.

Matthew knows very well that the Mother Earth and His Church will not owe favors to others casually.

Therefore, Matthew and the Bay Lord naturally cannot take the favor for themselves, otherwise it would be a death.

So it is very straightforward to talk about business.

It is also business to do business with others.

When doing business with gods, you naturally can't fall behind.

Anthony attaches great importance to fertilizers. After seeing another batch of golem trains transporting fertilizers, he let Matthew fall down very simply.

Under the curious gaze of everyone, Anthony muttered something in his mouth, picked up a pile of fertilizers, and buried them directly in the soil.

Notice that Anthony respectfully saluted the small mound, and finally put the emblem of a flower wrapped in the harvested rice on it.

In the eyes of others, nothing happened after Anthony did this.

But in Matthew's eyes, he saw a burst of strong golden light emerging from the ground.

Then, a middle-aged woman with white hair appeared on the mound quietly.

There was a little surprise and smile on her face, holding very ordinary fertilizers in her hands, and a strong golden light flashed in her eyes.

The unspeakable mystery and power gave Matthew extremely amazing pressure.

The majesty and kindness that made people want to bow their heads and salute respectfully were indeed no less than the spiritual pollution of the distorted halo in Matthew's opinion.

It is hard to say how many believers of Mother Earth are "confused" by it.

Matthew subconsciously bowed his head, but a soft voice came to his ears:

"I am very satisfied with this gift, and I am also very satisfied with the development of the Gulf Territory."

Before Matthew could answer or think, the huge pressure had disappeared without a trace.

When Matthew raised his head, the incarnation of Mother Earth had disappeared without a trace.

Instead, it was Anthony next to him who was winking at him and smiling.

Matthew was too lazy to pay attention to his teasing, and got on the flying dragon again, making a gesture of departure.

Anthony, who was completely relieved, looked at the farm base in the Gulf Territory happily, and the surprise in his eyes became more and more intense, and he kept asking Matthew about this and that.

Matthew did not hide anything, but told Anthony the operation process of the entire farm, especially the complementary production methods of several crops.

After hearing these easy-to-understand things that no one had ever thought of and put into action, Anthony showed a little shock and emotion in his eyes, looking at Matthew's black eyes and hair and said:

"Sure enough, the wisdom of the East is profound and ancient, and it can always be innovative."

"Even if you have been living in the Northern Continent, the talent in your blood cannot be concealed."

When Anthony said this, Matthew tasted the meaning behind his words.

It is obvious that Anthony obviously knows many Orientals and has a very deep impression of them.

With his identity and status, there is no need to lie.

Matthew is very interested in this.

There are many Orientals in the Northern Continent, most of whom are located in the eastern coastal area.

According to the information Matthew received, 20 years ago, there were many Orientals who came and went with the Northern Continent, but in recent years, there has been almost no news.

The only news we got was that the Eastern Continent had encountered some huge changes, and the passage between the two continents had been cut off. The only way to get there from the Eastern Continent was through the area occupied by the barbarians.

However, the road is dangerous and terrifying, and hundreds of thousands of miles away, cutting off all thought of coming or going.

Even in Matthew's memory, there was little news about the Eastern Continent. It was only in the later stages of his memory that he learned that it had been unified into a powerful and complete empire.

This fits Matthew's impression of the place.

After all, unification is the tradition and beautiful vision of the Eastern Continent.

Matthew did not respond to what Anthony said.

Because he knew that what he was doing was different from that of the Eastern Continent.

Even Lao Li thinks so, and Matthew naturally doesn't want to defend it, just treat it as a wonderful misunderstanding!

Anthony savored the method Matthew told him, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this way of thinking contained great wisdom.

Logically speaking, Matthew shouldn't tell himself such an important thing.

But he just said it and didn't hide it at all.

Anthony could clearly feel that Matthew seemed willing to let him know, and he had indescribable confidence in his heart.

why is that?

If you have questions, just ask.

Anthony never hides anything.

Matthew's answer was also very straightforward: "Ha, there are methods since ancient times, but no one is willing to invest."

When Anthony heard this, his eyes widened subconsciously, and he looked down at the farm stronghold below. His eyes flashed involuntarily, and then he suddenly realized.

Indeed, as Matthew said, even if this method is known, no one will implement it or promote it.

The reason is very simple. First of all, the investment is very high, so high that even the ordinary lords and nobles cannot bear it.

Then, it is very slow to recover the cost. Without the many druids and production golems in the Gulf Territory, according to the normal production and development trajectory, it would take at least twenty or thirty years to recover the cost.

With such a large amount of money, the lords and nobles would either use it for food, drink and fun, or use it on other simpler ways to make money.

For other territories, if you want something, you can just collect it from the people. There is no need to go to such trouble as the Gulf Territory.

Moreover, for many lords and nobles throughout the northern continent.

The force and merits possessed by the territory are far more important than the materials developed by the territory.

Moreover, even if some lords and nobles knew about this method of the Gulf Territory, they would just keep it in their hands.

At most, it is a small-scale production, which naturally cannot create more value.

A method of making money that is implemented on such a large scale in the Gulf Territory and distributes so many benefits to the people of the territory will only make other lords laugh.

With this thought in his mind, Anthony couldn't help but have a deeper impression of Matthew and the Gulf Territory.

When they arrived at Bay City, Anthony and others had not yet had a chance to take a good look at this huge and brand-new city.

The grand welcome ceremony immediately stunned them.

Thousands of children in white and blue school uniforms waved little red scarves in their hands and shouted loudly to the somewhat astonished Anthony and his disciples:

"Welcome Mr. Anthony, the Archdruid, to the Bay Territory!"

“Welcome Harvest to the Gulf Territory!”

Looking at the pairs of big clear and transparent eyes, seeing each of them smiling, full of energy, and arranging in an orderly manner, all the druids, including Anthony, couldn't help but blink.

There is no other reason. Anyone who sees a lot of white, cute, and well-behaved children will not be able to help but feel happy.

Even Anthony, who was well-informed, followed by countless druids, and revered by many Harvest Church believers, felt flattered at this moment.

What he saw on the smiling faces was extremely sincere expectations and yearning for a better life in the future.

If there are only one or two, Anthony thinks they are talented children and will be very happy to cultivate and bless them, hoping that they can thrive.

But when this number is enlarged to thousands, or even more.

Anthony felt goosebumps all over his body, and he was even happier than before when he was appreciated and approached by Mother Earth, because what he saw was a large area of ​​hope.

There is nothing more attractive to a druid than nurturing and nurturing.

When they passed among the children, everyone's face showed confusion and joy, and they couldn't help but smile, looking very happy.

When they saw the children lining up neatly, waving goodbye to them, and happily heading to the Golem Train in the distance, everyone had an unfinished expression on their faces.

It's always very comforting to see so much hope.

Matthew didn't take them to visit Bay City. They had plenty of time later.

Instead it led them to a huge tree.

A circle of rather simple cabins was built around the giant tree.

Lush flowers and small trees growing freely exude wild charm here.

Anthony's students were very satisfied with this environment, and the bad mood caused by seeing a large number of steel golems was greatly relieved.

Only Anthony stared at the tall trees with a shocked expression. He noticed the tree spirits running back and forth among the treetops. He couldn't help blinking and asked excitedly:

"Is this the tree of life?"

In fact, Anthony was able to determine her identity from the moment he saw Quanquan's figure.

However, he still wanted to get a positive answer from Matthew to make sure he was not dreaming.

"Yes, this is indeed the Tree of Life, a young sapling cultivated by our Bay Territory."

After hearing Matthew's words, Quanquan, who felt the intimate breath of the druids and others, nodded happily and said:

"Yeah! Bay Territory is my home. Welcome to Bay Territory. I hope you can live happily here."

Feeling the faint breath of life lingering around, all the druids, including Anthony, nodded in confusion.

They never thought that the Bay Territory actually had the ability to cultivate the Tree of Life.

And, they planted the Tree of Life openly in this city with a large population.

This made them feel strange and uncomfortable.

In their impression, shouldn't the important task of cultivating and caring for the Tree of Life fall on the shoulders of druids like them?

And the Tree of Life should have been well cared for, not placed casually in the city.

But they didn't know what to say, they could only stare at Quanquan who was walking over, and they had a very strange feeling.

Quanquan and the druids were very familiar with each other.

If there were any questions, they would communicate directly with Lao Li and other druids.

They generally had a good sense of druids, but they didn't take it too seriously.

Quanquan had been studying at the Professional Training Academy, learning to control power, understand the world, and recognize intelligent creatures.

If you say that growing freely in a large forest does seem to be very carefree.

But it is inevitable to be a little lonely, and Quanquan agrees very much with the views taught in the territory.

The so-called learning not only requires the ability to learn various processing methods, but also how to guide and restrain one's own thinking.

Absolute freedom means absolute chaos.

After seeing the beauty and stability of order, Quanquan's inner thoughts and ideas have changed.

She doesn't want the saplings in the future to be like her before.

In loneliness and confusion, she spent the darkness that could not see the end.

Rely on the mountain and the mountain will fall, rely on people and people will run away!

The growth of the Tree of Life is up to Quanquan herself!

The druids, with shining eyes, were very curious about Quanquan's situation and the Gulf Territory, so they naturally stayed.

Anthony, on the other hand, was quite busy. He used various means to contact many people in the Harvest Church and asked them to send large quantities of ore.

That's right, it was ore!

It was not the various rare metal mines that were very scarce in the Gulf Territory, but the ores specifically used for the production of various fertilizers.

The Gulf Territory did not produce much of the nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and other minerals needed for various crops.

The fertilizers produced by the guano islands in the sea had limited output under the standard of recyclability.

The Gulf Territory was in great need of these minerals, but the Harvest Church, which was backed by Mother Earth, was not.

Even if the value and use of these minerals were not known before, they could be found and mined and produced at the fastest speed.

With the help of the transportation network of the Thorn Chamber of Commerce in the Gulf Territory, the first batch of minerals arrived at the fertilizer plant in the Gulf Territory in just three days.

This also made Matthew and the Gulf Territory fully realize how powerful and capable the church organization can be when it is fully mobilized.

It is no exaggeration to say that in this era when the gods return and miracles appear in the world.

The orders of the gods are much more useful than those of the kings and lords.

The reason is simple. Not many people dare to disobey the gods under the watchful eyes of the gods.

At this stage, the Gulf Territory also implements such supervision methods to ensure that the threshold for corruption will be very high.

To the greatest extent possible, this kind of thing will not happen in the Gulf Territory.

Even if there are still people who are not afraid of death occasionally, they can be easily controlled without being affected too much.

Matthew never thought that the territory would not function without these termites, and the people would not eat without these vampires.

5 days later.

United Chemical Fertilizer Factory.

The first batch of mineral fertilizers was produced.

Anthony couldn't wait to experiment.

After just one use, he fell in love with the isolation laboratory in the Druid sub-base.

When they saw in person that the crops they brought over had an output of 450 kilograms per mu.

After the fertilizer was applied, the output exceeded 700 kilograms.

They couldn't help but cheer excitedly.

Soon, the production line of the United Chemical Fertilizer Factory began to increase day by day.

The daily output also soared from ten tons to tens of thousands of tons.

The Gulf Territory was allocated 50% of the fertilizer, which was used for fattening wasteland and the underground world.

The Harvest Church specially commissioned the Gulf Territory to transport the fertilizer to the Kingdom of Falcico.

When Matthew heard that they were going to distribute the fertilizer to the poor people and lords there for free, he kept silent very wisely.

Just when the entire northern continent was unknowingly caught in the disaster of the spread of zombie pollution.

The Harvest Church, which made a high-profile appearance, used a fertilizer that could greatly increase the yield of crops, which caused an uproar in major kingdoms and organizations.

Mining does make a lot of money, and it makes money quickly!

But for the vast majority of lords and nobles, only the majority of the land and people in the territory can bring them an endless supply of eternal wealth.

Fertilizer that can greatly increase crop yields!

Not only can it allow everyone to collect more food, but it can also feed more people.

They will have more labor and taxes!

This is simply comparable to the existence of a divine weapon!

It can make everyone's overall wealth at least move up a level!

The members of the Harvest Church soon discovered that purchase orders from major kingdoms and organizations came in one after another.

The fertilizers they distributed to the people and those ordinary lords were soon taken away by the other party in various ways.

The huge gap made them watch as if nothing had changed.

Compared with their anxiety, the United Chemical Fertilizer Factory, which is expanding and expanding production, has become another pillar industry of the rapid development of the Gulf Territory.

In just one month, it recruited and trained more than 100,000 workers to join.

The huge production scale made the Church of Eternal Life feel astonished.

They watched the production scale of the United Chemical Fertilizer Factory grow rapidly from tens of thousands of tons a month ago to an astonishing hundreds of thousands of tons.

The fertilizer produced every day can be piled into a tall hill.

Faced with so much fertilizer, the overseas lords could swallow and digest all the fertilizers distributed to them without changing their expressions.

The druids saw with their own eyes that the Gulf Lords used it to transform and fatten the land.

The many fertilizers distributed to the Harvest Church were hoarded by major organizations and forces, with no intention of distributing them for use.

What made them very frustrated was that they often distributed the fertilizers.

The farmers who received the fertilizers would take the initiative to hand them over in exchange for more coins and food.

The huge amount of ore and minerals transported every day brought a heavy burden to the Harvest Church.

Many people in the church also began to make vague suggestions.

Since there was no effect when distributing it, it would only fatten the lords and nobles who did nothing, so it would be better to sell it.

At the beginning, Anthony and the high-level leaders of the Harvest Church naturally refused.

This is the blessing of Mother Earth, not a tool for plundering wealth.

However, when they watched the wasteland reclaimed by the Gulf Lords become fertile land.

However, the land in those areas where a large amount of fertilizer was distributed was still very barren.

They also wavered after a fierce discussion and debate.

So, the Harvest Church, which was forced to do so, began to sell these fertilizers that should have brought a good harvest to countless people at a price that could only maintain the cost.

This time, no lords and nobles hoarded them.

But they also did not do a good thing. They happily increased taxes in the name of increasing crop yields with fertilizers.

The farmers, who were not rich to begin with, suddenly encountered a disaster from heaven, and their situation became worse.

Now, the people of the Harvest Church are Muggles.

They were immediately cursed by many farmers and people from their original popularity.

They did not dare to scold the lords and nobles, and could only vent their grievances on the initiator, the Harvest Church.

The Harvest Church, which did bad things with good intentions, really had no words to say.

Their example taught the Bay Leader a solid lesson.

"Well, don't just think about doing good things."

"Just thinking about giving money or materials is always the worst choice, and it will be used by people with ulterior motives and become their tools and targets for profit."

The children who greeted the druids with a smile nodded in sudden realization.

After experiencing this incident, they will understand the dangers and horrors of other areas outside the Gulf Territory.

They will not be framed and kidnapped by others because of their integrity and kindness.

The Harvest Church, which has been struggling to support itself, is now in a dilemma.

Although Mother Earth did not reprimand them for their poor performance, everyone, including Anthony, was very depressed.

At this time, Butler Ralph found them with a smile.

He made a very pioneering and jaw-dropping proposal:

"We will make the secret recipe of fertilizer production public to all lords and kingdoms without charging a penny."

"And we will also help them solve the troubles in their territories."

"However, this requires the help of the Harvest Church."

Anthony naturally didn't believe it, but he was also annoyed by those stupid lords and nobles, and directly signaled Ralph to speak freely.

"It's very simple. After telling them the secret recipe, they will naturally produce fertilizer."

"This is much more cost-effective than our family producing it alone..."

"Moreover, now the major territories and kingdoms have many refugees and refugees in the country due to the impact of the zombie disaster."

"If these refugees and refugees are left alone, they will not die of hunger but also of war, and they may even become food and soldiers for the zombie disaster."

"So we can use the secret recipe of fertilizer production to exchange for the refugees they regard as a burden..."

This "selfless" proposal was quickly approved by the top leaders of the Harvest Church.

So, when the terms of the deal were passed on to the major territories and kingdoms, most of the nobles and lords were tempted.

The refugees left.

They were safe.

And they gained a lot of benefits.

They also cleared a large area of ​​unowned land for their own territory.

This is simply a win!

Of course, there will naturally be fools who don't know what's good for them and try to get more.

But they were soon dumbfounded again.

The Harvest Church, which had long been very unhappy with them, decisively put their trading order at the end.

Even a clay Buddha still has some anger!

Not to mention the church that is born to be at odds with lords and kings.

When the first lord completed the transaction, and with the help of the Gulf Territory, he had a fertilizer production factory in just a few days.

Other lords and nobles were naturally unwilling to lag behind and came to the door one after another.

Some lords and nobles, in order to complete the cooperation with the Gulf Territory as soon as possible.

They actually gave the Harvest Church an operation that made them laugh and cry.

"Don't you want a large number of refugees and displaced persons? Is 100,000 enough? If not, I'll get more!"

Good guy!

This operation is indeed very noble!

What the members of the Harvest Church did not expect was that the Gulf Territory did not dislike it at all and happily completed the transaction with them.

Matthew and the Bay Territory naturally don't care what the Harvest Church thinks.

Anyway, Matthew has already got what he wants most besides population.

The specialty of the Harvest Church - Life Essence!

This is a real good thing, which belongs to the life essence left after the natural death of magical creatures and plants.

After being purified by the secret arts of the Harvest Church, they have become a healing medicine that replenishes vitality.

Compared with the water of life produced by the Bay Territory, the effect is better, and even the price is only a bit different.

The latter can increase life span!

The value of life essence is very high, and each gram can easily sell for thirty or forty gold coins, and there is a considerable purchase threshold.

The most fundamental reason is that the effect is good, and the yield is indeed low!

In the dangerous nature, magical creatures and plants die in various ways.

Killed by natural enemies, starved to death due to malnutrition, captured or collected, all of which will end their lives early.

Those who can live to the end of their lives are absolutely rare!

And those who can be encountered by people can almost be said to be non-existent.

Even the druids who are very close to nature can't just watch over the magic creatures and plants every day and do nothing.

And once there is a little bit of an accident, decades or even hundreds of years of hard work may be wasted.

The reason why the Harvest Church can get enough raw materials.

is because these materials come from the magic creatures and plants that travel with them.

The druids will protect their safety, give some guidance, and help them reproduce.

They will also give up their life essence and return to the embrace of nature after they die.

To put it simply, this method is similar to the raising of magic creatures and plants that the Bay Territory has always advocated.

However, these magic creatures and plants raised in the Bay Territory.

Usually, they will be gloriously sacrificed after the year and effect meet the standards.

After having the life essence.

Matthew only spent two hours to get the secret method of production that the Harvest Church has always kept secret.

That afternoon.

Matthew mobilized some raw materials from all over the Bay Territory.

At the cost of hundreds of thousands of fate power, Matthew "successfully" produced the first life essence of the Bay Territory.

Life Essence

Type: Advanced Magic Creation.

Quality: Excellent.

Effect: Restores vitality equivalent to 100 health points.

Cooling time: None.

Evaluation: An excellent magic item.

Looking at the light blue life essence in his hand, Matthew touched his chin and soon issued a new supplementary order to the entire Bay Territory:

"The cultivation ratio of magical plants and creatures in breeding lands and farms will be increased from the original 1% to 5%."

Matthew's doing this will reduce the initial profits of breeding lands and farms by 40%.

Cultivating and cultivating 5% of magical creatures and plants until death means providing them with a constant supply of care and nutrition.

In addition, the task of selecting and optimizing varieties will become more difficult.

However, after understanding the effect of life essence.

Butler Ralph implemented this policy very firmly.

The greater the investment, the better the quality and output of the magical plants and creatures that can be cultivated.

Although the investment cycle will be longer, the huge benefits of a return ratio of more than 800% can also suppress all problems.

Of course, the "refugee recruitment" operation of the Bay Territory and the Harvest Church is in full swing.

Matthew is busy in the underground laboratory with Annie and Yaya.

The first batch of well-behaved experimental subjects have taken the initiative to complete training and learning, waiting for the start of the operation.

Matthew has made a promise to them.

In view of their voluntary atonement.

As long as they persist in the operation.

They can gain a certain degree of freedom.

Well, from the prison where they can't move, to the prison where they can move normally.

As for being released?

How is it possible!

Their minimum sentence is more than the death penalty + 200 years!

Matthew's subsequent transformation operation is in need of experimental subjects...
