Chapter 459: The First Year of Mechanical Popularization (Subscription Request)

Why does Luo Yi work so hard?

The huge sense of crisis was one factor, but more importantly, Luo Yi saw a path that was different from that of traditional combat professionals.

These days, Luo Yi read a lot of books. Although he didn't finish reading all the books in the secret library, with the help of Deep Blue's scanning, he could still say that he had integrated most of them.

Then, Luo Yi discovered a shocking fact - above the legend, there is actually no clear path.

A legendary strong man, even if he has half a foot out of the main material plane, has the ability to navigate the astral plane.

For future development, we will have to use the starry sky as a big stage to seek opportunities.

But the problem is, even if everything goes well and you keep climbing, the legendary peak is the apex.

If you want to break through and become a sixth-level demigod, you must obtain the divine fire.

In other words, the next step is to ignite the divine fire, obtain divinity, and condense the divine nature.

This is the path to becoming a god, and it is the only path.

The only difference is whether you want to be a lawful god, a chaotic god, a murderous demon, or an alien god!

Of course, most people who embark on the path to godhood are not in a position to be picky. Being able to reach that point has already surpassed millions of powerful people.

Luo Yi could actually climb up along this road, but he was also well aware of how crowded this road was.

Over the past tens of millions of years, there have been so many powerful people gathering here that legends are just at the bottom. How many people can reach the top?

What's more, the situation in the Old World is clear at a glance. The Sun God has unified the faith, how powerful he is!

How mysterious it is that the Seven Gods can snatch food from the tiger's mouth!

It's already crowded enough, where is the room for him to develop?

On the contrary, he saw a different path in the secret sacred skills.

Maybe he could escape from the cage and create his own world, so of course he was unwilling to give up easily.

…

December 25, 314 in the New Divine Calendar, Christmas Day.

A four-winged holy healing angel descended upon the flower-filled city of Brussels, spreading the grace and blessings of the Lord of Light.

When the news spread, the Old Continent was shaken!

Countless believers fell into a frenzy, all of them could not believe it.

The reason is simple. Apart from the Habsburg Empire, the Flower Territory is the only one in the Old Continent that has gone the furthest on the road of magic industry.

The political and military system is also different from that of the feudal empire.

A place like this wouldn't be considered heresy, but now, it's actually been blessed by God?!

What is this?!

Is the great Lord of Light going to abandon the original order and instead support the magical industry?

Such speculations were brewing in the minds of countless nobles and causing panic in the hearts of countless people in power.

And this is the authority of the Sun God. Just a small action can cause turmoil in the entire continent.

Of course, it was also at this time that the Papal State stood up and announced Loy's identity to the outside world.

An ancient Knight Templar, a lord who has mastered the sacred fire fighting spirit and is proficient in various sacred combat skills.

Luo Yi, except for not serving in the church, is a devout believer in the sun god in every way!

It is no exaggeration to say that such an existence is of noble status!

As for the magical industry of Flower Territory, how does it conflict with Loy's identity as a Knight Templar?

This is the explanation given by the Papal States.

The layman was confused and didn't understand what it meant, but the expert immediately understood it.

The church finally chose to adopt Loy's opinion and decoupled the magic industry from the Church of the Seven Gods!

The Seven Gods are the Seven Gods. The battle of faith is a fight to the death. It is difficult for them to coexist!

But the magic industry is the magic industry. The use of machines to replace human labor is a symbol of progress and an inevitable trend in social development that is unstoppable.

In a sense, the church has encouraged industrial development and the popularization of machinery.

Of course, on the surface, it seemed that Loy's persuasion had worked, but in fact, the major empires had already begun to take action.

Whether the church agrees or not, it is a done deal.

If they agreed, they could still save some face!

If you don’t agree, you will lose all your face!

This is also an established fact, and after the church announced it, the three empires immediately took action.

Their industrial zones seemed to have popped up overnight and were everywhere.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this has been happening for a long time, but they insist on claiming that they are only starting to allocate resources now.

These things could not be concealed from those in power, but they were very convincing to the common people at the bottom, and even to the grassroots ruling class, that is, the petty nobles and knights.

It was also from this moment that the magic industry spread completely across the Old Continent.

Even many years later, historians regarded the year 315 of the New Divine Calendar as the first year of the popularization of machinery, which was another milestone in the development of the magic industry.

Of course, all of the above is in the past.

The arrival of the Four-Winged Holy Healing Angel brought not only changes to the situation on the continent, nor just a little healing effect, but also plunged the people of Flower Territory into a state of frenzy.

Not to mention Christmas Day, the carnival atmosphere continued for several days afterwards.

The fanaticism brought by faith is fully demonstrated at this moment.

Butler Hoover knew what Loy wanted, and he almost went against everyone's opinion and allowed the carnival to continue, so that they could celebrate two festivals together.

It was not until the Divine Grace Festival was over and the fatigue after the frenzy set in that the entire territory finally quieted down.

Two days later, Xianhualing resumed its work in full swing, and everyone was back to work, busy as a whirlwind.

At this point, it was January of the 315th year of the New Divine Calendar. Luo Yi was still sleeping, but the Flower Leader was busy counting the accounts again.

After a year, the accounts have to be settled again and the dividends are distributed to everyone.

This is mainly the job of Mira Greenman and Butler Hoover.

Mira is mainly in charge of the Raymond Magic Energy Group, which involves a wide range of businesses, even including the current sea trade.

Butler Hoover was in charge of the traditional business of the Flower Territory, such as maritime trade, perfume business, taxes and land income, etc.

Now, there is an arms middleman who trades arms and supplies between the Empire and the Allied Forces.

This is also the biggest source of profit, and the profits are so high that they cannot be disclosed to the public.

As a result, the current accounts of Xianhualing are more complicated than one can imagine.

Even if the recipients of flowers are professional accountants with good abilities, they still need time to sort out and settle such huge accounts.

Of course, even though the specific figures have not yet come out, everyone knows that this year's revenue will be astronomical.

Compared with last year, a tenfold increase is the minimum requirement.

Even this is based on the fact that Luo Yi never hesitates to spend money.

The cost of building two cities at the same time is so huge that it is beyond the imagination of ordinary nobles.

But for today's flower collars, there is no pressure at all!

In fact, because of its control over the arms and machinery trade, Flower Territory is now eligible to accept facial recognition payments from major nobles and empires.

If these nobles and empires want to purchase weapons and various mechanical equipment from Loy and want to ensure subsequent maintenance and repairs, they have to establish good relations with the Flower Territory.

As long as you miss out on a little bit, or cut in line and give them some high-quality goods, they will be happy.

Correspondingly, Flower Territory purchased various magical materials, ores and various raw materials from them, and they were really begging for credit.

However, on the side of Xianhualing, Luoyi has very strict requirements on deposits, payments and final payments, and does not allow fraud.

It is worth mentioning that just after the Chinese New Year, Xianhualing ushered in a wave of breakthroughs.

First it was Alfonso Zeke, then Thor Dean, two of the three Grand Knights directly entered the retreat room of the Mage Tower, intending to attack the fourth-level natural disaster.

They are all wealthy people, and the awakening potions they received are customized versions that best suit their physiques.

Of the three bottles of customized potions, the last one was exchanged by the female Tyrannosaurus Tanya.

Grand Knight Vincent Ackerman also wanted it, but Tanya refused to give it to him, and the two sides even had a fight over it.

There is no need to say much about the outcome, Tanya won by a narrow margin!

In fact, in terms of strength, Vincent Ackerman is not much behind, but Tanya really fights without regard for her life.

What's the result?

Since you have lost, you can only admit defeat!

However, Vincent Ackerman did not suffer much loss, because there was already a batch of "Kratos Awakening Potion" in the secret library, which was very suitable for his physique.

It’s a pity that both of them were injured in the battle, so the breakthrough had to be postponed.

They are all like this, and there are even more people who have broken through to the second level and become extraordinary.

In order to encourage everyone to practice hard, the Lord's Mansion even opened up a series of high-quality material exchanges.

This is the annual dividend distribution period again. Everyone has money in their hands, so naturally they won’t be stingy.

In fact, everyone can see that the development and growth of Xianhualing is obvious to all.

The benefits became more and more substantial, and even the people he came into contact with were princes and princesses from various countries and cabinet officials.

Even the cardinal and the legendary strongman came.

Roy also obtained the status of a Knight Templar, and everyone could see this improvement in his reputation.

In the past, the Raymond family was known as a thousand-year-old noble family, but now that they are gone, who cares?

It's all different now.

But the more Flower Territory develops, the higher the requirements for people like them will be.

Luo Yi scolded everyone in the meeting hall for not striving for progress, and asked everyone to keep up with the pace at the Christmas party, which was already expressing his dissatisfaction.

At this time, everyone must seize the opportunity, work hard to practice, and seek breakthroughs.

Of course, there was one more thing that really irritated them!

Hector Hunter, an old acquaintance of Loy's, was a newly recruited second-level peak swordsman. As a result, he had obtained resources and magic potions and had now successfully broken through.

This is certainly due to his profound accumulation, but at this point in time, achieving the third level has a different meaning.

As a result, the news spread, and a group of people were stimulated, and their enthusiasm for cultivation increased by unknown percentage points.

Then there is the leader of the Dragon and Beauty Mercenary Group, Sike Francis, a third-level transcendent who has defected here.

Now, I have started to learn from Lien Vasquez.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that what he was about to take over was either the Security Department or the Police Department, which was a sure step to buy into the core of Xianhua Ling's power.
