Louis took a deep breath.

Becoming the Goddess of Commerce's divine favorite was a mixed blessing.

He had too many hidden little secrets on him, and if possible, he wouldn't want to attract the attention of the divine.

But divine favor isn't something you can refuse just because you want to.

However, there were benefits too.

The people from the land of merchants essentially believed in the Goddess of Commerce.

What in the world could be more easily recognized by those money-driven people than the divine favor guaranteed by the Goddess of Commerce?

Even though Louis didn't like the Am Empire, he had to admit that the people of the Am Empire had indeed elevated commercial operations to a level that didn't belong to the Star Continent.

"If I remember correctly, the Am Empire has only been involved in the waste disposal device industry for about 40 years, yet they've caught up with Furnace Castle and the Dragon Empire."

He couldn't help but sigh.

Forty years is a long time for humans.

But it's very short for the other three races.

The Elf Race has been developing waste disposal device technology for thousands of years and is the undisputed overlord.

It's normal to have a significant technological gap.

The Dragon Empire and Furnace Castle have been developing these technologies for nearly a thousand years as well.

In his previous life, this duration would have been astronomical.

As an emerging nation, the Am Empire has managed to catch up to Furnace Castle and even surpass the Dragon Empire's technology in such a short time.

To be honest, it's quite astonishing.

This terrifying development capability completely eclipses any country with an average lifespan over 130 years.

In a relatively backward environment, the resource-gathering power of capital was far greater than he imagined.

He would have to reconsider how to handle the blessing of becoming the divine favor of the Goddess of Commerce later.

The focus was on the Lokeshi Empire.

Without the interference of the Am Empire, the Lokeshi Empire would have been the most suitable third nation to join Ense and Tunisia.

Because the three countries formed a trident.

Considering the smaller vassal states of these three countries, they could basically form an obtuse triangle.

Additionally, there was a piece of lawless territory right in the middle of the three countries, which Louis believed was the most suitable transit area for the three nations.

Frankly speaking, excluding Lokeshi, the likelihood of any surrounding country achieving industrial chain cooperation would be very low.

Even in another world, there was never a shortage of the concept that those who are not of our own kind harbor different hearts.

Unless Louis executed a move like "Open the Door, Free Trade.jpg" with heavy artillery, the possibility remained low.

Gathering the power of the three major human nations within the shortest time already pushed the limits.

"The Sword Master died too hastily."

Louis felt the situation was thorny.

As a legend, the Sword Master was crucial to the Lokeshi Empire.

Don't be fooled by the fact that numerous top powerhouses, including demigods, were mobilized in Fox's memory during the Black Sun assault.

But that was their foundation.

It was estimated that Ense used all the available resources they could mobilize.

In normal circumstances, level 20 was the most visible elite of the empire.

A legend was a strategic weapon.

Not to mention that legend was the Sword Master.

"Was it just to cut off the potential of the new generation of the Lokeshi Empire, or simply to take down the Sword Master as a top combat power?"

The names Sword Master and Sword Saint were not mistakenly bestowed.

The cornerstone of the Sword Saint Kulin at Saint Louis Academy's Nine Swords major was formidable.

Having this title not only meant the number one swordsman of humanity but also indicated possessing extremely strong teaching abilities.

An excellent teacher could train tenfold, even twentyfold, more geniuses to walk this path.

Kulin, true to the sword, could even directly participate in the development of legendary martial techniques, directly increasing the upper limits of a nation's supreme force.

Sword Saint Kulin even had the privilege of facing the emperor without bowing, along with the privilege of mobilizing all the resources of Saint Louis Academy's Nine Swords.

Such beings, each one is a national treasure.

"Although Teacher Jino had differing swordsmanship philosophies from Sword Saint Kulin, he never denied that his rapid growth was closely related to Sword Saint Kulin."

"Some people even tried to stir up discord between them behind their backs, only to be personally served fists by him."

"If even the Sword Saint was like that, the Sword Master is beyond question."

Whether Louis wanted to admit it or not, Lokeshi Empire's advantage in blade technology had already thoroughly surpassed Ense's advantage in blade and swordsmanship.

The person who brought about all these changes was the Sword Master.

Without the Sword Master, this turmoil wouldn't be any less than losing a demigod.

The resulting consequences could be even greater.

Louis continued to flip through the diary.

The more he read, the more his brow furrowed.

No way!

What is happening here?

If major events hadn't changed much in recent years, then from five years later, the future had completely become a murky water.

He first noticed the Great River Plan and the Diversion Plan.

These two plans were implemented rather successfully, and ultimately spread across both nations.

The two enormous projects attracted a large number of newcomers to the mage community.

In just five years, a massive number of lower and middle-tier mages were developed.

Even because of the two plans, the magic fever in both countries reached the most exaggerated state in hundreds of years.

In the year 14456, an exceptional talent emerged among the early mages participating in the Great River Plan.

This genius was born in a comprehensive academy in a remote village of the Ense Empire.

About five years later, he participated in the Great River Plan as a level 12 mage.

Because there was an artificial river from the Diversion Plan that would pass through his hometown.

This incident caused a considerable stir.

A remote, impoverished region is hardly expected to nurture young talents.
