Green Monster Epic

“The latest tribal census has also concluded. Excluding those out training, adventuring, and stationed abroad, our tribe's permanent population within the Greenwild Plains' sphere of influence has reached 1,572,991.”

“Among them, goblin bloodlines account for over 80%, totaling 1,480,337 people. Humans are the most numerous among the other races, with 35,440, followed by gnolls...”

“There's no need to tell me about these things!”

Allen interrupted Albad's detailed report, but the expression on his face betrayed him. The overflowing smile was enough to show that Allen was in a great mood.

With the increase in the tribe's total population and the impact of abundant food resources, the Greenwild Tribe had finally ushered in the peak of their population explosion. In just a few decades, the tribe's population had surged by more than 50%.

The growth of the total population base also increased the tribe's talent pool. Now, it seemed that the appearance of a legend's advancement and a legend seed, which Albad had just reported, no longer surprised Allen.

He believed that in the long days to come, the tribe's legend seeds would only increase.

“How is the Church of the Food God developing?”

Allen was now more concerned about the development of the cornerstone of his future path. After all, with the current development of the Greenwild Tribe and the abilities of the tribal ruling class, there would be basically no major setbacks. Even if it developed and operated step by step in the future, at most it would only slow down.

“The church now has over 70,000 devout believers. Not only have branch churches been established in important tribal strongholds, but we have also established a small-scale organization in several main cities of the Thorns Ring.”

“I also plan to establish a preaching line in Mansa City, with the goal of developing it into a church branch in the next three to five years.”

Listening to Albad's introduction to the church, Allen was slightly surprised, not expecting the Church of the Food God to develop so rapidly.

“Is there a sufficient number of believers in Mansa City?”

“Chieftain, rest assured. To say nothing else, the scale of graduated magic chefs in Mansa City alone has already exceeded a thousand. Recently, the Culinary Academy is planning to establish a Magic Chefs Guild, and the guild's headquarters is preparing to be established simultaneously in Green Lake City and Mansa City.”

“The Culinary Academy began to expand its enrollment in the two years after the first Culinary Competition. The number of students enrolled has been increasing every year. This year, the scale of new students at the Culinary Academy has once again surpassed last year's number, reaching more than 7,000.”

“Although the academy requires students to obtain chef qualifications before graduating, and the requirements are relatively strict, there were still more than 1,000 graduates who obtained qualifications above low-level magic chef last year alone.”

“That's very good!!”

Although Allen had foreseen that his initial large investment in promotion would eventually lead to such a scene for magic chefs, he did not expect the time to come so quickly.

“In fact, the scale of magic chef-related professionals is only greater in the Wilderness and the North and South continents.”

“Many forces have also cultivated chefs no less than the total number of our academy's enrolled students through the professional books we have secretly disclosed. There are also magic chefs who graduated from our academy in the early stages and obtained professional certification. They also personally take in apprentices. Therefore, the scale of chef professionals in the Wilderness and the two continents today will definitely not be less than 500,000.”

“According to faith-related investigations and judgments, these chef professionals are likely to be potential believers who can be developed by the Church of the Food God.”

“Oh.”

“The Church of the Food God currently has a major problem: there is no complete, systematic training mechanism for divine members. The advancement of students in the major professions of priests and high priests who embark on the path of divinity is slow. In addition to obtaining divine arts through divine grace, there are few other channels to obtain and master divine arts.”

“Although the tribe has mobilized the most outstanding scholars and mages to study divine art-related books and information, the progress so far is not very smooth. The highest level of divine art cultivation that has been developed is only level seven, and most of them are common divine arts such as healing and detoxification.”

“This is indeed a problem.”

The smile on Allen's face gradually faded away. As Albad began to report the current problems, his mood gradually sank.

After all, Allen was just a mortal who embarked on the path to godhood halfway. Although there are many divine members in his circle of contacts, the training of divine members is a divine taboo. Each church is afraid that someone will know and has always had violent institutions such as the Dark Court and the Tribunal searching everywhere, let alone leaking it from their hands.

Fortunately, Allen had already established a relationship with the Truth Council of the alien forces in the south. Now, the other party is plotting against him because of the magic chefs. The two sides exchange various knowledge and books, including a lot of research data on divine arts.

In addition, Allen's own sometimes effective and sometimes ineffective understanding of the domain and authority will directly provide Allen with a lot of information about divine power. It勉勉强强 allows the tribesmen who have embarked on the path of divinity in the Church of the Food God to still be able to self-cultivate and improve, but they are much worse in terms of efficiency and combat effectiveness.

“Increase your communication with the Drow, Centaur, and Truth Council. I will also think of other ways to see where to start to actually get a complete set of divine art books.”

“It just so happens that I have finalized several mature recipes for magic dishes and their related cooking techniques during this retreat to study cuisine. You find a few capable scholars to come over, and I will dictate them to compile them into books. Take them to negotiate with those forces as a bargaining chip. I believe they will be moved by this!”

“Understood!”

“Also, don't neglect the food aspect. In ten years, it will be the time when I promised the alliance to give them a reply. At that time, these recipes and books will definitely have to be handed over. By then, the acquisition of various high-value ingredients, spices, and plant materials on the market will probably skyrocket in price.”

“While the other forces have not yet recovered, you must seize the time to collect as much as possible of those precious ingredients that can be preserved for a long time.”

“Money is just a pile of dead things left in the warehouse. Don't be reluctant to spend them. After the master-level cuisine recipe is finalized, the tribe will definitely have a large income again!”

“Yes!”

“The grand cathedrals established by the Church of Nature and the Church of Rangers in the city are now also vigorously promoting their doctrines in the tribe and have promised many benefits.”

“Let them go. We have no way to compete with them openly.”

The two chatted about the tribe's affairs while flying towards the city, and soon landed in the bustling Green Lake City.
