Messenger of the Goddess of Agriculture

Vivian has fallen unconscious again.

Although she didn't understand the reason, Goria wasn't too worried this time.

Because Vivian's breathing was very stable, and her condition was normal, she even sensed that Vivian's power was increasing. This time, the Divine Power fluctuations were more intense, much stronger than the one she remembered. She didn't know what had happened, but Vivian's strength was automatically increasing again and again. However, she thought it must be related to Soren. Goria had some guesses in her heart, but she couldn't be completely sure yet.

"Don't disturb her!"

Goria raised her hand to cast a warning Spell, then turned and left the room with little Lulumiao, saying slowly, "You stay here and guard her for the time being. Don't let anyone else approach or disturb her. Vivian will wake up on her own after a while."

Lulumiao tilted her little head, looking like she didn't quite understand, but quickly nodded and said, "Meow!... Lulu understands!... Stay here and don't let anyone disturb Vivian's rest!..."

Upon hearing Goria smiled slightly, gently stroked the Catgirl's head, and said softly, "Good, you understand, my good girl!"

Tap tap tap.

A series of hurried footsteps came from outside, and then a young woman dressed as a maid walked in.

"What is it?" Goria, her delicate brows furrowing once more.

A young maidservant approached Goria and whispered a few words quickly in her ear before respectfully stepping aside.

"Um?"

After hearing Goria's face showed a hint of doubt, and she murmured, "The priests of the Goddess of Agriculture? Why would they be here?"

"Never mind."

"I will go to greet them myself."

Overseas Islands, Port Nyanzaru.

A somewhat unusual Warship docked at this Warship bustling port. It bore a distinctive Rice Ear Emblem, signifying its affiliation with the Church of the Goddess of Agriculture, a follower of a Neutral Alignment goddess. Temple Knight of the Church Warship on board. Arriving in such a dangerous place as the Overseas Islands, it was absolutely essential to have protection. Leading the group was a refined-looking middle-aged priest, dressed simply, yet exuding an air of pampered ease.

Is this the place?

The middle-aged pastor gazed at the bustling port before him, a hint of surprise in his expression. "I never imagined there could be such a prosperous place in the Overseas Islands!"

soon.

Goria appeared amidst a group of guards, and the middle-aged priest from the Warship stepped down with a smile.

This group attracted a lot of attention.

Suddenly, the priest of the goddess of wealth, Kim, appeared near the port. Frowning, he examined the distant church emblem and muttered, "What's the priest of the goddess of agriculture doing here? This place doesn't seem to have anything to do with her sphere of faith."

Many others noticed their arrival, but the vast majority remained on the sidelines, observing.

The Goddess of Agriculture has a powerful background. Although she is Deity who has risen to prominence in the last thousand years, the connections behind her are enough to make many Deity Church wary.

"Welcome, sir!"

Goria glanced at the Crest of the middle-aged priest opposite her and was surprised to find that he was actually Archbishop, a figure of great importance within the Church of the Deity. He was probably close to entering the realm of Legendary. The port and docks were not the place for idle talk, and as the mistress of Port Nyanzaru, Goria naturally needed to welcome and arrange for them. Soon, the group was settled in Port Nyanzaru, and all eyes were on them, trying to discern the intentions of the Church of the Goddess of Agriculture.

Council Hall.

After moving to a relatively quieter environment, the middle-aged priest immediately cut to the chase, saying, "Your Goria! I've come here hoping to cooperate with you on something. I wonder if Your Excellency Soren would be available to meet with me now?"

cooperate?

Goria gently brushed aside her long, loose hair, still somewhat puzzled as to what could be a collaboration between Port Nyanzaru and the Church of the Goddess of Agriculture. Nevertheless, she smiled politely and asked, "What kind of collaboration is it? Soren isn't in Port Nyanzaru right now, but I can handle everything here."

As the mistress of Port Nyanzaru.

Goria naturally wields immense influence. With Soren absent, she is the unsung decision-maker.

That's right.

The middle-aged priest nodded upon hearing this and beckoned to one of his attendants. Immediately, a young man came over with a box. He placed the box in front of Goria and gently opened it, saying, "The Church is very interested in this item! Therefore, we hope to cooperate with Lord Soren. We believe our sincerity will definitely satisfy you!"

So that's what it is!

Goria only needed one glance to understand what was inside.

A type of Granular Crystal that emits a pungent odor.

One of the things Soren had asked her to help with in the past seemed to be fertilizer to help crops grow, which had already started production several months ago, but how could she possibly pay too much attention to such a trivial matter? She just didn't expect that this thing, which seemed completely insignificant to her, would actually attract the attention of the Archbishop of the Agricultural Church, and even have him come to her in person to seek cooperation.

This moment.

Goria really couldn't understand her man anymore.

She didn't know whether Soren had anticipated this or had done so by accident.

"So that's what it is."

Goria's lips curled into a slight smile, her attitude casual, as if testing the waters, she said, "It seems this thing hasn't been shared with outsiders yet. I wonder how Your Excellency the Bishop knew about it?"

They acted as if this thing was a secret.

Goria's every action told the group that this thing was no ordinary trinket, but a secret of the Port Nyanzaru.

Since it's a secret, it's obviously very important.

Important things naturally come at a high price; even a single sentence can imply a great deal.

"Hehe."

The middle-aged pastor smiled faintly and said slowly, "Nothing related to agriculture can escape the goddess's gaze. Please believe that we have come with absolute sincerity; anything mutually beneficial is helpful to us."

"Isn't that right?"

Goria glanced at the other person and said softly, "That's true. But I wonder what's the story behind His Excellency the Bishop's cooperation?"

Now, let's get to the main topic.

The middle-aged pastor smiled slightly upon hearing this and said in a deep voice, "Our tests have shown that this item can meet the growth needs of crops, making barren land Fertility and significantly improving crop yields. The Goddess of Agriculture is a kind and loving Deity, so the Church plans to promote this item so that all believers can experience the joy of a bountiful harvest."

"We plan to purchase this fertilizer in large quantities and then distribute it to more believers."

The Alchemy Craft for fertilizers is not sophisticated.

Any high-level Wizard could see it instantly; the most crucial point is Guano, a natural mineral found near Port Nyanzaru.

Soren initially decided to study this because Guano is an excellent natural fertilizer that can be used directly with simple processing. This land has been undeveloped for a considerable period of time, and the natives certainly wouldn't have noticed that the accumulated guano is actually a treasure. Therefore, the entire mineral resource is currently in its early stages of development, and less than one ten-millionth of the island's reserves have been exploited.

The Agricultural Church was clearly aware of this as well.

This low-level Alchemy refining process is completely worthless; what's truly valuable is the Guano deposits on the island where Port Nyanzaru is located.

The value of crops is not high.

Correspondingly, the value of fertilizer cannot be too high. While advanced Alchemy can produce high-quality fertilizer, the costs and sacrifices are simply too exorbitant, far exceeding the profits from crop harvests. Therefore, the substance Soren discovered, refined from Guano, a naturally high-quality fertilizer, is highly valuable because its cost is quite low, requiring only preliminary processing as part of mineral extraction. This relatively low cost allows for widespread adoption, enabling it to be promoted as an Alchemy fertilizer in many places.

A bumper harvest of crops and an increase in grain production.

This is of great significance to the Agricultural Church, especially since their believers are farmers. If it is successfully implemented, the Church's influence will increase exponentially!

This is also a key reason why a Archbishop personally visited the Overseas Islands.
