Buffalo, St. Elvin City.
The turbulence in the Transcendent World was treacherous, but it did not affect the development of the mortal world.
With the establishment of the new city hall, the social order in the territory was gradually restored.
At the same time, thanks to the measures taken by Elvin, a small number of areas that did not have an advantage in terms of transportation, resources, and population, as well as the cities that were severely damaged in the past few years of unrest, were abandoned, and the population was moved to the core cities.
St. Elvin City, the center of development that gathered a quarter of the territory's population, was gradually showing signs of prosperity.
This was also the benefit of abandoning the rough and laissez-faire development and having an overall layout of the city and industry.
"Look, the first batch of barges that we sent inland to trade has returned."
Five flat-bottomed barges filled with all kinds of leather goods were flowing down the Hartson River.
The crew of the barges were part of the early Irian immigrants from Buffalo, and part of them were naturalized Hurons. This combination was more popular in the Midwest.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
As soon as the barges reached the shore, a large group of Hartson Fur Company staff wearing uniforms and driving carriages swarmed forward.
After unloading the barges in a messy manner, they filled the barges with the trade rifles, gunpowder, lead bullets, sword oil, holy salt bombs, and other military supplies that were pulled from the carriages. The five barges continued their journey without stopping under the towing of the tugboats.
After the canal was connected, it took another one and a half months for the Hartson Fur Company to establish a real connection with the Atreans living in the Midwest.
Along the way, they left some people to maintain the first batch of fifteen temporary warehouses, and finally completed the first full process of trading, digging out their first bucket of gold from the inland.
Moreover, due to the influence of the "Spirit Tide" that continued to block the transportation, the pelts that were the byproducts of the hunting tribes had long been piled up into mountains. Every minute of delay was a waste of money. Their income was linked to their performance. At this time, even scourges and fierce beasts could not stop their enthusiasm to make money.
The raw materials transported back by the traders would enter the handmade pelt workshop in St. Elvin City and be made into various finished clothes before being shipped to the mainland.
That was because Elvin knew that Buffalo had no future as a raw material production area. He could only obtain the greatest benefits through further refinement. He even established his own brand and gradually occupied the fur market.
Although it was only the beginning, all the employees of the Fur Goods Company believed in the beautiful future described by Elvin from the bottom of their hearts.
At the same time, another fleet from the Tulip Family slowly docked at St. Elvin Port.
The main force of the fleet was still trading ships, but the flagship of the escort fleet had not returned to the mainland ever since they came to the New World. Storm Horn, which happened to be given a long vacation by Elvin during the last war against the rebels, had been given an opportunity by Elvin.
"Milan, over here!"
The Atrian girl who had smooth, wheat-colored skin and was wearing a light yellow dress saw a certain figure walking down from 'Storm Horn'. Her big, bright eyes suddenly lit up as she stood on her tiptoes and waved her hand hard.
"Apsuya! Why are you here? "
Seeing her lover whom she missed day and night, Milan had already rushed to the girl's side. The excited Princess Huron picked her up and spun her around a few times.
The couple, who had been separated for half a year, was still fiercely kissing each other and telling each other their hearts.
Behind them, more people walked down from the deck.
"Brother, is this our new home?"
"Yes, although Buffalo has many things to do for the time being and Georgia is just starting out, Marquis Marquis is a Marquis. But Lord Marquis is a benevolent lord. I believe that under his leadership, this place will become the richest place in the entire New World! "
Gary, who was built like an iron tower, gently patted another young man who looked similar to him. Behind him were his parents and four or five siblings who had traveled across the sea with him.
It was clear that the whole family had moved and was ready to "hang" on Elvin.
And Gary's situation was not an exception. Not only did the entire crew of 'Storm Horn' return, but most of them took advantage of the holidays to bring their families home.
The idea of these 350 crew members was simple.
As Elvin's direct subordinates, they were treated much better in the New World than in the mainland. And everyone felt that their captain, who was quickly promoted to Marquis, would have a far greater future.
They had already bought the original shares. Even a fool knew that the pavilion closest to the water enjoyed the moonlight first.
Then.
They responded to the construction plan of Elvin's territory and moved their families to Long Island, which had been designated as the private manor of the Marquis and had a total area of 4,500 square kilometers. They would also be the first batch of vassals bound to the Garriott Family, and the subordinate relationship would continue for generations.
This was also the necessary accumulation of every noble family. Generations of loyalty and sacrifice in exchange for the cultivation and funding of the Lord. After dozens of generations, they would become the most loyal and reliable team of a noble family.
Most of the butlers, bodyguards, and even Men of Sacrifice in many big noble families came from here. Most of the time, they would be a more reliable force than their own family.
St. Elvin City, which had gradually entered the fast track of development, was more than that.
Because of its superior geographical location, it was a natural gateway connecting the New World and the Old World.
But in the past, when Ilya ruled, like many other countries, this place was used as a source of resources for the mainland. They only thought about constantly plundering and never thought about vigorously developing this place.
Elvin, who was very optimistic about the development of this place, wanted to let the endless stream of pioneers and capital from the Old World stay in this treasure land.
On the basis of a world-class large port, it would be upgraded to a trade center connecting the north, south, east, and west. Through the gathering of capital and talents, it would ride the wave of a series of productivity changes such as steam industrialization to further develop into the world's manufacturing center, trade center, and financial center.
Especially finance, this thing was a double-edged sword for a country. It could not be relied on as the foundation, but it could not be ignored.
In another world, China's international bankers controlled a huge amount of capital, and they could even determine the rise and fall of a country. Even the government that gathered all the people's power could not resist.
They built banks to take in public deposits and give them interest. Then they made profits by investing in industries and distributed the profits to the depositors' accounts.
In the process of investment, the bankers unknowingly penetrated their tentacles into many industries.
As a trend of world development, if Elvin did not plan ahead in this industry, sooner or later, someone else would fill in the gaps for him.
Therefore, Hawkins, who had left the New World for a long time and went to Ugore Island to preside over construction matters, had just returned. Under Elvin's authorization, he selected a group of financial elites from the territory's talent pool.
In St. Elvin City, the "Long Island Development Bank" was established, and it also operated an insurance business.
It was also the second "state-owned" company, after the "Hartson Leather Company", that was fully controlled by the Hou State.
In his new team, there was Speaker Zerom's widow, who had changed her name to Edith Hobion, a very young and charming lady.
Although she changed her appearance, her beauty level was still the same as before. Hawkins had to admit that this guy … cough, had a good eye.
After hosting the bank's ribbon-cutting ceremony with Olivia and explaining his development plans, Elvin did not care too much about the bank's affairs. Although worldly wealth was important, it was not fundamental to him. Elvin had already immersed himself in his new research.
.....
Wizard Tower, Third Floor Internal Ecological Circulation System.
After becoming an upper-level wizard, he had gradually expanded the space in the wizard tower. The smallest floor had been expanded by at least three times, and the largest area had almost become a huge botanical garden.
After Elvin found the "Iron Wall Knight" Ambrose, he had temporarily put aside the so-called "clock that is about to appear in this era …".
He was not sure if it had anything to do with him, so it was not worth spending too much energy on it.
Instead, he turned his attention back to his own strength, which was also the most important research topic at the moment, [Genetic Theory].
Especially at this time, the Silver Knight coincidentally provided him with a very interesting material.
Neigh —
Four shining silver pegasi with an excellent appearance. They were at least 2.6 meters tall, but their weight was very light, only about 300 kilograms. Their flight relied on their strong and powerful wings and outstanding innate magical abilities.
Elvin and Angel realized that the pegasi were not like Angel's familiar, "Celestial White Deer" Minnie, who was a heavenly creature that was close to an energy body. Instead, they were a kind of magical creature with flesh and blood in the material world.
Perhaps a long time ago, the pegasi were artificially bred by the "Church of Dawn" or someone else. Only then would they be able to produce such a powerful flying unit that could be ridden by a Grade 2 Knight.
It was simply the best mount that every knight dreamed of, except for the giant dragons.
Armed with bows and javelins, the Silver Knight had the same advantage against ground troops as the "Emerald Corona" against ordinary naval warships.
Elvin also knew that a powerful Great Knight with a holy sword would easily give up on these pegasi. He was not worried that someone else would copy such a powerful mount. On one hand, it was difficult to raise them. On the other hand, these pegasi were all males. Even if they were obtained by someone else, they would not be able to reproduce normally.
Elvin, who was wearing a wizard's robe, sneered, "Naive."
If he was in a hurry, he didn't even need an entire pegasi. A drop of blood would be enough.
Right now, he and Angel were staring at a few processed blood slides in front of them. With the help of [Witchcraft — Microscopic Vision], they were reading the secrets in them as if they were reading a book.
With the continuous development of [Microscopic Vision], it was no longer a problem for him to directly 'see' the structure of genes at the microscopic molecular level.
The DNA double helix was formed by two DNA strands in opposite directions. Each strand was made up of four bases (A, T, C, and G). They were paired according to the principle of base complementarity to form a DNA double strand.
The so-called [Gene] was a DNA fragment with hereditary effects. It was the basic genetic unit that controlled biological traits.
Compared to the 01 code of a computer program, [Gene] was only a sequence code of four base pairs. They were now able to get a sample and extract the life code from the DNA like reading a hard drive.
Since the creation of [Microscopic Vision] last summer, they had begun to explore the secrets hidden in the blood of the world's ordinary creatures, demonized creatures, Extraordinaries, and other existences.
In addition to recording the relevant theoretical knowledge in the secret scroll [Flesh Sacrifice], Elvin also created an additional magic book [Genetic Code].
He recorded the sequence of the various creatures' [Gene] in this magic book, which became the cornerstone for the subsequent research of the members of the school. At the same time, it also provided theoretical support for transforming the [Talent Spell — Bloodline Plug-In] into a common spell of the school.
This milestone in life science, [Biological Genome Project (Not Just Humans)], was led by Elvin and assisted by Angel. It was originally prepared to provide an excellent research direction for Angel, who had successfully crossed the threshold of a senior official Sorcerer, to obtain resources for her to advance to Tier 3 in the future.
Elvin was more of a guide for Angel.
Therefore, when he noticed that Angel's face suddenly revealed a trace of surprise, Elvin could not help but go over and ask.
"Angel, did you encounter any problems?"
The girl raised her head, her silver pupils flashing with doubt. She said to Elvin with some uncertainty,
"I seem to have found something amazing in the [Gene] sequence of the Pegasus. Teacher, I think you'd better come and take a look!"
