The shipyard on River Heart Island was currently building a warship and an armed merchant ship. The merchant ship was progressing faster. Most of the craftsmen were from Northern Town. They had only built inland watercraft before and had never built a ship before.
In order to build the ship, Suhlen specially hired some old craftsmen from the Southern Sea at a high price to guide them. Just like that, the framework of the shipyard was set up.
After the two ships were completed, Suhlen planned to form an exploration caravan to explore the sea route in the east.
The trade route did not have to be developed after Deepwater City was built. In fact, as long as the port was completed, they could explore the trade route. While building, they could conduct trade.
Suhlen strolled around River Heart Island. When he went to eat, he bumped into sailors who had just completed their sea training. These sailors all looked pale, their hair was messy, and their bodies were filled with a sour smell. It was obvious that these sailors had been tortured by Barbossa on the sea.
Suhlen had no objections to this at all. After all, he did not know how to train a navy. Barbossa was the only one in the entire Northwind Dukedom who knew how to train pirates. However, the definition of a navy and a pirate in this era was not so accurate.
If they wore military uniforms and raised military flags, they were a navy. If they took off their uniforms and raised other flags, they were pirates. Now, almost half of the active pirates in the southern sea had an official background. Although the three southern countries had formed an alliance, they were always dirty in private. The three countries had always been competing, but they could not fall out with each other. Therefore, they had obtained a privateer license.
With this license, pirates could rob merchant ships legally. Of course, privateers could not rob their own country's ships. The first country to issue a privateer license was the Tudor Kingdom. Originally, the Tudor Kingdom was far behind the Liberia Kingdom and the Nederland Kingdom in terms of maritime trade. However, with the privateer license, the kingdom's maritime power developed rapidly and was now not inferior to the other two countries.
The privateer license stipulated that half of the looted wealth had to be paid to the king. This way, the Tudor Kingdom did not have to spend a single cent of military expenditure to obtain a large number of troops and large amounts of money. After seeing this situation, the Liberia Kingdom and the Nederland Kingdom also began to issue privateer licenses. In the end, pirate activities in the southern sea became rampant.
If Deepwater City were to engage in maritime trade and open up trade routes, it wouldn't be long before these pirates would rush over like sharks smelling blood. In order to cope with the next challenge, Deepwater City's navy must be established as soon as possible.
Of course, in the early stage, in order to help the weak Navy of Deepwater City, Suhlen would leave the Raging Dragon here to help them fight.
Northern Wastelands, Northwind Tower.
The Astrology Platform was filled with a powerful magic power. Hathaway's body had gathered a frightening amount of energy. A decaying, destructive, and crazy energy was constantly being extracted from the Divinity Crystal. This powerful negative energy could easily turn a person into a demon who would not shrink from any evil. The slightest carelessness would interfere with Hathaway's mind. Only after the Divinity had been purified could she absorb it without any side effects.
Beside Hathaway, a torrent of elemental energy was constantly purifying this evil energy.
After about half an hour, the energy extracted from the Divinity Crystal in front of her was finally purified and restored to its original golden brilliance. Then the surrounding elemental energy slowly dissipated. Hathaway gently waved her hand, and the golden Divinity began to integrate into her body.
The golden energy turned into strands of silk and rushed into Hathaway's body. Because Hathaway was not a god, she could only slowly integrate the Divinity. It was said that the gods could directly integrate the Divinity into their bodies, unlike humans who integrated it bit by bit.
After feeling the Divinity integrate into her body, Hathaway's soul became stronger. After all the Divinity in front of her had integrated into her body, her soul felt full. Hathaway then slowly dispersed the magic power around her body.
Although the Divinity had been cleansed, Hathaway's emotions were still affected during this period.
As the Divinity was stripped away, the faint golden energy in this part of the Abomination's soul began to decrease. Hathaway did not absorb this soul energy. Although the quality of the Abomination's soul energy was very high, the negative emotions in this soul were also very strong. Absorbing this energy was not worth the loss to Hathaway.
With a snap of her fingers, Hathaway sealed the remaining soul energy. After extracting the Divinity, the Abomination's soul energy was an advanced Legendary Crystal. Hathaway and Suhlen were very interested in the guardian statue in the ruins of the Wizard Tower. They planned to use the Abomination's Soul Crystal to make one.
"Milky Way, check the pollution index on my body and soul!" After absorbing the Divinity of the Abomination's Divinity, Hathaway felt her body and soul and then said to the Tower Genie.
"Detecting the pollution index … Detection complete!" A blue energy swept across Hathaway's body.
"The current pollution index on the Tower Master's body is 11.5%. Please take note, Tower Master. If the pollution index is too high, it will affect your magic power control and your promotion will also be affected. The chances of you losing control of your mind will increase. Please try not to take any potions during this period …"
Hathaway rubbed her head. She did not have a good way to clean up the pollution index on her body. She could only purify it bit by bit. The pollution caused by the ancient Arcanists was even more serious. At that time, many places in the Main Material Plane were seriously polluted. Normal life could not survive at all. This was also one of the fuses that led to the war between the gods and the Arcane Kingdom.
The ancient Arcanists later also studied ways to clean up the pollution. The results were so-so. Some seriously polluted areas were still uninhabitable. In this aspect, the Druids were better at cleaning up. The Wisdom Tree planted in Suhlen's secret realm also had a purifying effect. Hathaway was going to live with the Wisdom Tree for a while.
The purifying ability of the Wisdom Tree was very important to Suhlen and the others.
In addition to Hathaway, Alex and Karina had also fused with divinity once. Kris had just fused with the power of the Balor and had not fully mastered it, so she could not fuse with divinity for the time being. Phyllis was not strong enough and her soul power was not strong enough. If she forcibly fused with divinity, her mind would be affected by the divinity, so she did not fuse with it for the time being.
Fusing with divinity required at least the strength of Tier 4. Of course, if it was divinity given by other divine creatures, there was no such threshold, but very few divine creatures would do so.
