I draw a card first

Chapter 322 Stormrage Harbor

However, while outsiders were busy, our protagonist, the future female regent, did not stay in the royal city.

Instead, he quietly returned to the Northland with someone whose name is still a private consultant so far, and came to the only large seaport in the Kingdom of Lotyas
——Port Stormrage

Wearing a pale pink aristocratic girl's long dress and a pink lady's hat, Lilith looks very cute and cute. Accompanied by Ivan, Lilith is like a bird liberated from a cage, strolling happily on the pier full of pedestrians superior.

The strange goods and commodities around made Lilith dizzy. After a while, Aiwen's storage ring was stuffed with a bunch of things.

Of course, since the two of them traveled thousands of miles to come here, they definitely didn't come here for shopping.

While shopping around, Ivan and Lilith are constantly observing the situation here.

The first impression here is that it is extremely prosperous.

Whether it is the goods from the most powerful country in human beings across the bay, or the special products from various sea races, they can only be transported to the kingdom through this place.

The monopoly status has brought massive wealth here.

It can be said that this "cornucopia" built by the Hebrew Grand Duke in his youth was the most important wealth guarantee for him to achieve the position of Grand Duke and essentially seal the border and crack the soil.

Of course, now this place has fallen under the name of Lilith.

It's just that the officials haven't had time to change people, and everything is still the same for the time being, so the two of them came here this time to plan what to do here.

It's impossible not to clean it up first, because it's so messy here.

The extreme wealth, huge floating population, and corrupt and out-of-control managers have resulted in hundreds of various gang organizations, and it is also the largest stronghold of countless cult organizations.

These disorderly existences are obviously intolerable to Ivan, especially those cults, which cannot be let go.

However, Ivan also quickly discovered that these cults are not having a good time now.

Although the previous coming of the saints did not affect the outer gods and demon gods they believed in, the changes in the law still affected Chi Yu, making all the priests of evil gods below the senior level lose their power.

The remaining ones have lost at least 90.00% of their strength, and the combat effectiveness of a high-level priest is even worse than that of a junior mage.

But no matter what, they are still better than those god priests who have completely lost their power.

So after the initial chaos, many sects also began to plan to take advantage of the opportunity to do something, such as taking the opportunity to expand or something.

The result is amazing!
Now, the rest of them are completely gone.

And without the power, especially the most important, those sorcerers that can harm others and benefit themselves, such as the life essence back then, to seduce those fallen nobles and businessmen, and lose the double support of rights and financial resources, the days of cultists are really living now It is not as good as one day.

But no matter what, the existence of these tumors and parasites still seriously interfered with the further development of this port, so they were all included in Aiwen's little black book, and he planned to take them back.

Rearranging ports is only one aspect.

At the same time, Aiwen is still investigating the topography of this natural deep-water port, planning to form the kingdom's naval force.

The importance of the ocean is obviously beyond doubt, especially in this kind of magical world, the coastal area also needs to always consider the threat of those shallow sea intelligent races, so a strong navy is a prerequisite for the development of shipping and ocean trade.

Although Port Stormrage itself has a water defense force, it only has five wooden double-decker magic battleships.

It's okay to guard the port and clear the scattered pirates, but if you want to do something with the outside world, it's far from enough.

Therefore, in Aiwen's plan, even if it is not possible to directly install metal battleship-class water combat modules like Waterdeep City, at the very least, dozens of magic battleships must be produced first to form a rudimentary naval system.

He even found the person in charge of the shipbuilding, that is, the three dark mages who have been trained by the lich for more than half a year.

By the way, this is also a way for them to return to human society with various prepared advanced technologies in a fair manner, so as to further accelerate the overall climbing speed of the kingdom's technology tree.

Even Ivan has found the core base of the future navy.

Through the ever-spreading satellite monitoring network, a huge island located in the northeast direction of Stormrage Harbor has been locked by him.

As long as the time is right, the kingdom's navy can completely occupy this island, which is more than half the size of Hainan Island, and build the kingdom's own water fortress.

But before that, the early navy obviously had to find a place to start, and Ivan also had some ideas about this.

It was an area not too far from the port, and it naturally formed another excellent ship berth, which could just be used to build the initial base.

The only problem, though, is that there already seems to be a master here.

Several luxurious super-large manors are just distributed in the place he selected, and even the beach is invaded and divided by the wall extending from the manor.

If you look through the seven or eight-meter-high wall, you can immediately see that some small ships are docking in and out of the simple small pier built on the beach.

There is no doubt that they are engaged in "smuggling".

Well, that's right, in a place where the straight line distance from the Port Governor's Palace is no more than 2000 meters, countless people are happily evading taxes.

And it also transports some obviously prohibited things, such as bows and crossbows and various magic potions that are included in the military supply control.

"It's completely rotten from top to bottom"

Obviously, these people would not be so unscrupulous when the Grand Duke of Hebrew was alive, but the chaotic situation immediately after the death of the Grand Duke made the successor Duke of Blue Ice have no time to pay attention to this place, which catalyzed their arrogance and anger. greedy.

"However, I still don't know how to restrain myself, this is really stupid"

Aiwen has never hated capable greedy people, but he hates incompetent and extremely greedy idiots.

So, port officials, don't try to escape from top to bottom!
By the way, you can also raid the manor over there, after all, this is all poaching his corner now!

Also outraged by this is our future female regent.

Lilith called the local agent of the Seventh Intelligence Agency, and after getting the estimated list of income loss caused by smuggling, her hands were shaking.
"Every year. More than [-] gold coins!"

The girl counted three times in a row, and after confirming that she hadn't misread the number, she immediately ran away!
After experiencing the hard life of not even having a hundred gold coins in the castle, and relying on Aiwen to pay for her living, and being in charge of financial work for a while, she is quite sensitive to gold coins now.

And such a huge number of losses made the girl feel so heartbroken that she couldn't breathe
Needless to say, they must be killed!
