Reborn Dragon Vein Warlock, Genius Beauty Mage

The Principality of Benedictine is located in the north of the Kingdom of France. The two countries have a short land border. This country has a long coastline and an area of ​​about twelve counties. Among them, there are four counties under the direct jurisdiction of Archduke Philip, and the rest were awarded to More than thirty barons.

Archduke Philip is the sacred bloodline of Poseidon, so most of the people in this country believe in Poseidon. The shipbuilding and navigation industries are particularly developed. Although it is a principality, it has a naval power that is not inferior to that of the kingdom. It is also an important force in resisting the orcs crossing the sea to the south.

The principality's navy has reached a strength of more than 8,000 men, with six four-masted battlecruisers, ten three-masted heavy battleships, fifty two-masted light battleships, and over a hundred single-masted patrol ships. As for the Principality Army, its main task is to maintain law and order.

Most of the principality's income relies on maritime trade, and fishing is an important part of its food source. All nobles in the principality have fleets of varying sizes, so they are very wealthy.

A major feature of the Poseidon Church is that priests are very willing to go to sea with the navy or merchants. Generally, any fleet that has the conditions will ask one or two Poseidon priests to follow them. Not only can they provide treatment along the way, but they are also experienced sailors. Maritime merchants themselves have high incomes, so they spend a lot of money in worshiping the sea god. The income of priests who go to sea is also very considerable.

The "Sari" docked at Rotterdam, the largest port in the Principality of Belgium, which is also the largest city in the Principality.

The elf-style battleship was very eye-catching, with the flag of Barony Stuart hanging on it. The port official immediately knew who was coming after flipping through the heraldic album, and hurried over to greet him.

The port officials who greet and send people off every day will inevitably be tainted with the habits of merchants. If they are ordinary honorary nobles, they can naturally pretend not to see them, but Baron Stewart is a real nobleman and has a reputation of being wealthy, so he will naturally receive him attentively.

The port official saw Christine stepping off the ship and immediately greeted him with a smile: "Salute to you, Lord Baron Stewart, I am Oliver Berger, the administrator of the Port of Rotterdam."

Seeing that the other party was wearing the badge of Lord of Honor, Christine responded: "Good afternoon, Lord Oliver."

"My Lord Baron, what can I do for you?"

"I want to live here for a while, please help me find a manor."

"As you wish."

Lord Oliver Berger was obviously already familiar with reception matters. After confirming the number of people with Elena, he immediately asked his men to arrange the carriage, and at the same time recommended several manors to Christine. Obviously, as a port city, this kind of estate rental service is already very mature.

While everyone was waiting for the carriage, the clock tower at the port suddenly rang three times, and people rushed towards the central square. Many foreign guests, including Christine, looked confused and didn't know what was going on.

Upon seeing this scene, the administrator Oliver Berger immediately explained: "Lord Baron, this is the God of Order dealing with the unscrupulous businessmen who have fornicated with the orcs. They will be burned to death in the square."

Then he explained in detail.

It turns out that the Principality of Benedictine has developed maritime commerce and is only separated from the Orc continent by the Principality of Wende. The maritime merchants have ships and are very close. Naturally, some people privately bypassed the Principality of Wende and crossed the Oresund Strait to conduct smuggling business with the Orcs. .

The orcs were poor, so everything they sold in the past could be sold at a high price, and the furs, magic cores, magic metals, gems, etc. of the monsters over there were a hugely profitable business, especially since these things were not big enough and one ship was enough. Coupled with the fact that there is no need to pay taxes, it can be said to be a hugely profitable deal.

With such huge profits, smugglers naturally come one after another. On average, the Church of the God of Order burns to death several unscrupulous businessmen who have had affairs with orcs every month in the central square of the port, but they continue to prohibit it.

In fact, the three countries of the Principality of Wende, the Kingdom of the Rhine, and the Kingdom of Piast, together with the God of Order, God of War, and Goddess of Winter, issue a lot of "private licenses" every year, which is equivalent to official permission to capture slaves. If a team or mercenary group goes to the Orc Continent to rob, of course they have to pay taxes when they come back.

These smugglers do not pay taxes, so if they are discovered, their entire family will be burned to death and their property will be confiscated. The major kingdoms and churches crack down very hard.

After knowing the whole story, Christine stopped paying attention. After a while, the carriage came. Oliver Berger was very good at doing things. The carriage he called was not only clean and tidy, but also smoked with spices. It was obviously specially for female nobles. Prepared, so everyone got in the car and headed to the manor where they were staying temporarily.

Developed trade does not mean that urban construction is good. Although the roads are clean and green, the buildings on both sides of the narrow roads are inevitably messy. Of course, it is much better than Rennes City.

The carriage was driving on the main road of the city, and what you could see through the window were the distinctive pubs on both sides.

The headquarters of many maritime merchants are located here, so the streets are filled with sailors dressed in various colors, including drunkards staggering around with bottles in their hands. After all, wine often has the function of replacing fresh water on the ship. How can sailors open up to drink it? But if you drink a little every day and don't drink it to your heart's content, you will naturally have to have a good meal in a tavern after landing.

Therefore, various taverns in the city provide drinks at different prices for captains and mates down to ordinary sailors, and the enthusiastic waitresses in the taverns do not mind accompanying the generous sailors to spend a wonderful evening.

These sailors who have been at sea for a month or even several months can no longer rely only on the waitresses in the tavern, so some specialty service places have flourished. Don't underestimate these women who sell their bodies to make money. Behind them, there is also the Church of the Goddess of Love.

This goddess's responsibilities include love, joy, etc. Although she has weak divine power (as set in this book), she is also a true god. The port city of Rotterdam with a developed service industry is one of her important believer settlements.

Therefore, I saw several priests of the Goddess of Love along the way. Their priest robes were very different from other churches. They were cut to reflect the female figure as much as possible to show their beauty.

Regardless of whether they are believers of the goddess of love or not, as long as they go to the temple and donate more than a certain amount, they can spend the night with the goddess's priests. They all have professional training and special magical skills that can bring incomparable joy to each other. If the amount is huge, the bishop and archbishop can also Will receive you personally.

In fact, the Archbishop of the Church of the Goddess of Love is the most popular person in the upper-class circles of the Principality of Bihe, because she arranges all kinds of lovers for the nobles and strictly protects the privacy of the parties involved. Of course, it is reasonable to charge a small introduction fee.
