With the arrival of the Elf Priest and his entourage, Master Adlet Morningstar and the Elf Mage also returned to Elf Island on the same ship.

Although the Mage Tower has been built, it currently lacks a tower spirit. It can be understood as an intelligent central control computer, so it only has the most basic functions.

The tower spirit requires the mage to use the "activation item" spell in conjunction with the magic circle to activate it. Whoever activates it will be his magic pet, so Christine must cast the spell in person, and wait until she gradually advances.

Now that the mage tower is built, Christine has moved in, and the maids led by Elena live in the main building of the small castle outside. This is another reason why this annex was built in advance.

Marked by the construction of the Mage Tower, the newly expanded city was named Dominaria, and the port was the Port of Dominaria. From now on, Sarzo was just a village without a port.

I found a picture online to get a rough idea.

The fifty infantrymen responsible for guarding the construction site of the Mage Tower directly became the standing soldiers of Dominaria Port. In addition, the fifty cavalrymen stationed at the Mage Tower Barracks and the more than one hundred naval soldiers at the port naval barracks. Enough to suppress anyone with evil intentions.

With the completion of the Master's Tower, the Port of Dominaria has become the largest port in Brittany and the fourth largest port in the Kingdom of France, after Le Havre, Marseille, and Calais. The reason why they are not as good as these three major ports is that they all have branches of the Mages Guild and have wizard towers. They have been developed for nearly a thousand years. Although other ports are much larger than the newly built Dominaria, they do not have wizard towers. guard.

For merchants, a port with a mage tower means safety, and a safe business environment is exactly what they want, so both the number of ships anchored and resting and the number of merchants trading here have increased.

The pastor of the Goddess of Wealth Church is very happy, because the more prosperous business is, the more beneficial it is to the goddess. Moreover, more businessmen will come to the temple to pray and donate, and the church will have more financial business.

The pastor of the Church of the God of Order is very happy, because the more transactions there are, the more agreements will be signed. It doesn’t matter if it’s a small business, but if the amount is high, the pastor of the God of Order must witness it.

The pastor of the Church of the Elf Gods is very happy because a new temple has been built. Even if there are no believers yet, there is an extra place to spread the glory of the true God.

The priests of the Church of the God of Knowledge are very happy because a new port city will attract a large number of second-born children of noble families who have no inheritance rights to seek job opportunities. These are all educated people.

The pastor of the Dragon God Church is the happiest. A new port city means the addition of a new bishop-level diocese. What an achievement this is.

Wherever there is joy, there are naturally worries. A prosperous port is bound to have the presence of dark forces. It just varies in scale depending on the strength of the lord, but it is unavoidable. After all, the Thieves Guild is backed by the Church of the God of Thieves. How could an organization with the existence of a true god be banned?

However, the completion of the Mage Tower in Dominaria Port forced these forces in the darkness to try their best to restrain themselves. The main business of selling intelligence was not affected, but it would not work if they wanted to steal or assassinate. The former depends on luck and whether the mage happened to be killed. The tower scan found out that the latter would immediately trigger the alarm of the mage tower because of the death, and they would definitely not be able to escape. For them, it was like looking at a big cake but not daring to eat it.

It is not possible to assassinate the lord as a deterrent as before, because Christine usually lives in the mage tower and is escorted by at least thirty fully armed elite cavalry when traveling. Being able to assassinate a Dragon Vein Warlock under such protection must be a high-level thief. If he does so, it means the acquiescence of the Church of the God of Thieves, and the revenge of the Church of the Dragon God must be extremely fierce.

The last day of every year is the New Year's celebration on the mainland. In the morning, both nobles and commoners must wash up and put on their best clothes to go to the temple to pray to the gods. The temple will also hold different celebration ceremonies according to the priesthood of the true god they believe in.

Of course, Christine will take the vassals, knights, retinues, and officials who believe in the Dragon God to the newly built Dragon God Temple in Dominaria Port to pray and make donations.

The so-called temple does not only have one building. The larger the town, the more various functional buildings in the temple. The Dragon God Temple in Dominaria Port was built at the city level. From now on, it will be the grand temple of the Dragon God Church under Baron Stewart. If it were the seat of the Holy See, it would be larger than the Vatican in Blue Star. After all, there really is a god in this world, and the level of faith and piety is quite different.

At noon, the lord will hold a banquet to entertain vassals and territorial officials, and then there will be various celebrations throughout the afternoon, including dances, horse racing, martial arts competitions, and of course performances by minstrels and clowns.

The banquet held by the great lord was attended by many nobles. The noble gentlemen and ladies who liked each other could also have a friendly match based purely on instinct. This kind of thing could even be shown off in private. Of course, interactions between two noble gentlemen or two noble ladies are not uncommon and everyone understands them.

The banquet in the evening is the most important. It is the most advanced among all celebrations in terms of scale and richness. After the banquet, the lord would distribute rewards to vassals, officials, and all those who served her. The items given to noble gentlemen are usually tea, wine, etc. Those with knight titles can also be given swords and other weapons. The items given to noble ladies and ladies are silk, sugar, etc., all of which are high-end items that appear elegant.

The rewards given to officials and servants without noble status are very straightforward. Different amounts of gold coins and silver coins are given according to different grades. Even the most demanding lord must give one silver coin to the lowest servant.

At the same time, the village chiefs and priests of various villages and towns will also organize banquets and celebrations. As for the food provided, it depends on whether the lord is willing to spend money, and the people must bring gifts to the lord, such as eggs, dry firewood, vegetables, etc. You don’t have to come empty-handed to eat or drink.

According to custom, the lord also gave rewards to his subjects, usually each adult was given linen cloth that could make a set of clothes or other items of equivalent value.

The specific reward depends on what is abundant in the lord's warehouse, because these are usually collected from the lord's taxes.

The aristocratic dinner party would not end too late, because the guests would go back to their rooms to clean up and pray to God again at midnight.

There will be various celebrations in the week after the New Year, some held by churches, some held by villages and towns themselves, and nobles will hold banquets in order of title, sometimes even lasting more than half a month.

This is a very important social event. The cooperation between many noble families in the next year and the marriage of noble ladies are known and decided during the continuous banquets.
