The value of the Seawolf was quite high.
Although Søren only found about seven or eight thousand Kindler pieces, the various goods and jewels were worth twenty to thirty thousand Kindler pieces. This did not include the profits from the black market in Shipwreck Bay. If he sent someone to take over this place, the final profit would be more than fifty thousand Kindler pieces. Don't underestimate this wealth. Søren had risked his life many times in order to earn some Kindler pieces. The polarization of wealth in this world was even more serious than in his previous life. The higher one went, the more wealth one would have.
The tax of the Ming Dynasty was about three to five million taels of silver a year. France only had about eight hundred thousand gold coins a year at the same time.
The tax of the Principalities in this world was about the same. Perhaps some kingdoms could reach millions of Kindler pieces, but it had to be a rich kingdom like Arendelle. In the Ming Dynasty, it was easy to kill a few rich merchants and get a year's tax. In the English and French Dynasties, there were many nobles who were richer than the king. The distribution of wealth in this world was not fair at all. The money Søren earned from killing two groups of pirates was equivalent to a city's tax for nearly a year.
This money was very useful!
Although many of them were goods, there were ways to get rid of them.
If it weren't for the wealth accumulated from killing the pirates, Søren would not have easily given away a ship's worth of goods.
This was a very necessary investment!
With the intelligence of the Drows, they naturally knew what Søren wanted. However, because he was not strong enough, Søren wisely did not speak. If he spoke and the other party did not agree, it would be easy to create estrangement. It was better to get closer to them first, and then after he opened up his own situation, he could conquer them all at once. The value of these Drows was amazing. Not only were they strong, but more importantly, they could be a source of faith and build the framework of a church.
Because there must be a priest of the Dark Maiden among them. Without the leadership of a priest, they could not have lasted for so long!
Of course, their value was more than that.
Changing faith was a difficult thing. Even if they could not be the source of faith for Vivian to fight against the Dread Lord and the Demigod Vampire in the future, they could also help Vivian expand her faith and complete the framework of the church. Taking a step back, these people could even become the foundation for Søren to become a god. The Avatar Crisis was a big game of chess. Only the gods were qualified to play on the chessboard. No matter what Søren planned to do in the future, it was never wrong to get the qualification of the gods first.
The Avatar Crisis was the most chaotic period, but it was definitely not the end of the chaos!
After the end of this turbulent period, although a certain peace was restored in the mortal world, the battle between the gods became more and more obvious. If he and Vivian defeated the Demigod Vampire and the Dread Lord, then they would have to face the gods of the upper plane and the demons of the lower plane. A new god was definitely the easiest enemy for them to deal with. Without the foundation from faith and the church, Vivian would become a lamb in the eyes of all the demons in the future.
Søren was a half-elf. These Drows also had human blood in order to adapt to the surface life.
If he remembered correctly, the first gods to fall during the Avatar Crisis were the God of Half-elves and the God of Rogues. This meant that two clergy areas would be vacant in the future. These two clergy areas were Half-elves and Rogues. Although these were only weak clergy areas, they could help Søren go further. In the future, it would be much easier to fight against the Dread Lord as a god than to fight against him as a mortal. The Demigod Vampire had succeeded in becoming a god. They had to speed up and catch up with him.
These Drows were all half-elves.
Søren could give up his life for Vivian. He even thought of transforming into a Shadow Lich. If Vivian could not become a god to fight against the Dread Lord, then he would become a god to fight against them!
After all, Vivian was not a vampire. She had been branded by the Dread Lord.
The Demigod Vampire was a very smart guy. He actually knew to use the Vampiric clergy area to make himself a god first. This undoubtedly gave Søren a little inspiration. Since the Demigod Vampire could use the inconspicuous Vampiric domain to become a god, then it was not impossible for him to use his own half-elven bloodline as a springboard to master the half-elven clergy in the future.
With the clergy, Søren would at least be in the form of a Saint in the future!
As long as he was in the form of a Saint, Søren would have the confidence to fight against any god's incarnation of a Saint.
This was a very long road.
Søren also had a vague direction after seeing these half-drows. The Demigod Vampire gave him the greatest inspiration, because if he used the half-drows as a springboard to become a god after his strength reached a certain level, then he could seek the clergy of the half-elves after the Time of Troubles began. In this way, the half-elves in the whole world could be used as a reserve base for him to develop his believers, and there would not be too fierce a conflict with other ancient gods.
This was a very weak clergy.
But for Søren, it was a very important springboard, because his ultimate goal was definitely not this.
Because he had the Divinity of Slaughter!
…
The road to becoming a god was extremely difficult.
But if Søren intended to take this road, then he must plan in advance. Otherwise, he would not have so much time.
This was something to be thankful for.
It seemed that from the beginning to the present, all his Legend Points were related to slaughter, whether it was the legend of the Throat Cutter or other legendary events. The Demigod Vampire had not fallen. As a new god, as long as he did not fall, his strength was increasing day by day, and his divine power was growing day by day. Søren had opened up a situation, and he could not let the other party widen the gap between them.
A day passed quickly.
The pirates prepared a cargo ship and then loaded the island's supplies. After a night of rest, the drows recovered a lot. Before Søren sent them away, he handed them a letter and said, "Give this letter to the leader of your tribe. Maybe she will understand what to do in the future!"
"I look forward to your reply."
The leader of the half-drows bowed humbly, then reached out to take the letter and put it close to his body, and said, "We are very grateful for your help, and we are willing to help you when you need it."
Søren nodded gently and said, "Go. I think your tribe has been waiting for you for a long time. "
The three half-drows in front of him bowed again and then walked onto the cargo ship. They were undoubtedly lucky to have met Søren at the most desperate moment. Not only did they keep their lives, but they also brought back a ship's worth of goods. But this was just that. If they could not prove their value, or come up with an equivalent benefit, they would no longer be able to get help from this lord. As drows from the Underdark, they knew very well that all the effort was for the sake of getting a return.
Søren watched the departing cargo ship, then turned to look at Adele, and said in a deep voice, "Send someone to take over the black market trade in Shipwreck Bay. We can give some of the benefits to the local forces, but the slave trade must be in our hands."
Slave trade?
There was a trace of doubt on Adele's face, but she had gradually begun to get used to Søren's orders. She did not ask much and was ready to arrange the manpower.
A group of pirates in Shipwreck Bay had been wiped out, and Søren needed to support a group of pirates who could work for him.
Since the Demigod Vampire could use the Vampiric Realm to touch fear, then Søren could naturally try to use the Half-Elven Realm to touch slaughter. In all aspects, Søren actually had an advantage, because no matter whether he became a god or not, not many people would be energetic enough to run thousands of miles to kill him.
This was the key to his focus on the outer islands!
With more and more cards in his hands, Søren's vision became clearer and clearer. As long as he controlled the pirates, it was equivalent to holding the sea route. If they wanted to deal with him, they had to go through the sea first!
