Reborn Dragon Vein Warlock, Genius Beauty Mage

As mentioned before, the coastline of Stewart Territory accounts for a quarter of the entire Western Continent, and the city of Dominaria is one of the top three port cities in the entire continent. Therefore, relying solely on maritime trade can bring Christine a lot of money every year. Come to huge wealth.

During the demonic disaster, small groups of demons were randomly transmitted from small cracks in space to various parts of the continent, hindering the trade routes between countries, forcing many trades to rely on sea transportation, even if they needed to go far away. But after the disaster, land transportation resumes, and the demand for sea transportation will naturally drop. Coastal countries also need a way to respond to this.

It was for this reason that Christine used the name of the king to invite people from various countries in the Western Continent to attend the meeting.

To be honest, the kings of these countries were confused at first after receiving the invitations, because there had never been any precedent for holding such a high-level meeting because of trade routes.

Countries on the continent have a feudal system, so even within the same country or even the same county, merchants who pass through the territories of different nobles have to pay taxes. This tax is commonly known as tolls. It is a ship docking fee in coastal port cities. It is very low and focuses on small profits but high profits.

As long as the merchant paid the money, he could travel freely in the noble territory. For the nobles, they have never considered what they would do if there were fewer merchants passing by. If there were fewer merchants, they would charge less. After all, their main income relies on the output of the fields and agricultural taxes.

Even the Church of the Goddess of Wealth has not considered this issue. It is really not necessary. If the caravan does not leave from this noble territory, it will leave from another noble territory, which will have no overall impact.

Christine also knows this. She also knows that even if the countries along the coast send envoys, they can only represent the royal family. The nobles below will not have to abide by any agreement signed by your king.

The reason why she still does this is to sign an agreement for the sake of signing an agreement. What she wants is a name, a name that no one has done something before but she is the first to do it. The prerequisite for becoming a god is to have believers. The initial development of any new god church is very difficult, and it takes a lot of effort to develop each believer. But it would be different if you had a very high reputation before becoming a god.

This thing is the same as selling goods through live broadcast. Ordinary people (new gods) can only watch live broadcasts, so they have to slowly accumulate popularity (preaching). A celebrity’s live broadcast not only has a large number of viewers, but also many people who are willing to buy her things (believe in her).

Otherwise, why would Christine use the magic disaster to establish a heroic character, issue her own currency, create her own luxury jewelry brand, and get the title of the most beautiful woman in the Kingdom of France and the only real duke in the mainland.

After receiving the invitation, the kings and grand dukes of various countries could not understand why Christine did this, but they were all very generous and sent high-level missions.

City Hall, large conference room.

At this moment, Christine was talking. The content of her speech also centered on the two main subjects of the meeting, maritime trade and combating piracy. In order to cope with the reduced demand for maritime transportation due to the restoration of land transportation after the demonic disaster, she suggested that all countries conduct a centralized anti-piracy operation. With fewer pirates, ships would be safer to sail, and with fewer maritime losses, the coastal nobles would naturally have more profits. Moreover, pirates would also land and harass coastal villages and towns, which jeopardized the rule of the aristocracy.

Representatives from various countries strongly agreed with this proposal, but again, the demonic disaster has just ended and everything is ready to be revitalized. It is really difficult for countries to invest a lot of manpower and material resources to eliminate pirates.

In this regard, Kristen gave a solution, which is that the Stewart leader can cooperate with the actions of various countries. She sends battleships to various countries to provide intelligence.

The representatives from various countries present were very surprised after hearing this. Could it be that they heard it wrong? This Duke of Stuart didn't mention the cost. Using her own fleet to eliminate pirates for other countries was not like her style. Could it be that the sun was rising in the west? But in such a formal meeting, it was impossible for Duke Stewart to speak freely. If there was such a good thing, they would indeed be unable to refuse it.

After finishing all her proposals, Christine asked: "Everyone, do you have any questions?"

Everyone, look at me and I look at you. The hereditary honorary count Mikita Este of the Kingdom of Iberia asked: "Your Majesty, the proposals you just mentioned are very good to me, but there is one more thing that needs to be confirmed. Next, you said you can exclude the fleet from cooperating with us to eliminate pirates. Is it free of charge?"

Kristine replied: "Apart from the normal docking and logistical supplies that you are responsible for, there is no need to pay any additional compensation."

After hearing this, everyone present praised: "Your Majesty the Duke, you are so kind."

If he sent his own fleet to eliminate pirates, he would have to bear the cost of the ships, soldiers, logistics supplies, etc. But now Christine only asks for logistics supplies, which can save a lot of money.

Besides, the navy and warships are not militiamen. Weapons are issued to fight in wartime, and farm tools are used to farm in peacetime. Once the navy is established, it will require various daily maintenance expenses, which is a huge expense. If they can use the fleet led by Stewart, many nobles can reduce the size of their navy, and even some nobles with poor financial resources can no longer have a navy.

Since everyone had no objections, Kristen came up with a prepared agreement. The members of the mission could not see any problems in this. Everything was exactly as the Duke said, so they sent the contents of the agreement back to the country through the summons circle and asked His Majesty the King to review it.

The kings and grand dukes of various countries were also surprised after reading the agreement. Although this matter did not conform to Duke Stuart's usual style of doing things, but once the agreement was signed, it was protected by the God of Order. It was absolutely impossible to go back on it, so After letting a professional check there were no problems, I agreed to sign the contract.

On XX, XX, Year XX in the continental calendar, the Kingdom of France, the Kingdom of Iberia, the Kingdom of the Rhine, the Principality of Belgium, the Principality of Wende, and the Duchy of Stuart jointly signed an agreement on maintaining maritime trade and combating piracy in the city of Dominaria. Because the maritime area involved is the North Atlantic, the agreement is also called the "North Atlantic Treaty", and the official name of this joint organization is the "North Atlantic Treaty Organization".

This unprecedented convention made the initiator Christine famous on the mainland. However, many people did not realize how big a storm this organization would make in the future.
