Construction of Phoenix's walls is in full swing, and large wooden boxes filled with gravel and clay are piling up on top of each other.

Although Lin Jue simplified the process of building a wall, this city wall is not just a direct stack of boxes, each time a box is placed, a circle of bricks needs to be enclosed at the bottom, the box is wrapped, and the wall bricks are bonded together to reinforce, so that the next layer of wooden boxes can be placed.

Because the process is much simplified, at the current rate, a layer of wooden boxes can be laid in one day, and if you want to build a five-meter-high wall, twenty days is enough.

Although the colony has been established for several months, the whole of Phoenix is still like a large construction site, bustling with all kinds of building materials and shipbuilding materials, transported by various immigrants with different divisions of labor, shuttling through the city.

On the dock, more than a dozen small warships and dozens of small transport ships, or docking, or patrolling, or traveling, this young dock has begun to operate, and this will be the lifeblood of the entire Phoenix City in the future, and even all the colonies of the Eastern Continent of the Orlante Kingdom.

On the coast, a huge dock has been built, and a keel nearly seventy meters long is being laid in the dock, and it is foreseeable that a sea giant will be born here.

Now under construction is a slightly modified battleship based on the most famous Spanish sail warship of the 18th century, and the only four-deck battleship in the world, the Santa Trinidad, tentatively named the Sandbank, the seat of the future naval commander Gloria, and the flagship of the navy of the Kingdom of Orlante.

In the center of Phoenix City, there is a large area of houses that have been demolished, leaving a vacant land, and in this vacant land, Lin Jue and the heads of the liaison agencies of the major guilds, as well as the elves and dwarves, will discuss the construction of a joint office of the major guilds here.

Since the total population of Phoenix City has reached about 10,000 people at this time, it is already one of the major cities of human beings in the Eastern Continent, and the liaison organization between elves and dwarves has also begun to be set up here.

This office will be built by the forest elves and supervised by the governor's palace, and according to the previous agreement, the elves will plant a towering tree here, just like the Great Banyan Tree Restaurant in Dawning City, which will have a huge space to meet the needs of the major guilds.

At the same time, Lin Jue also sent someone to Dawn City to invite the person in charge of the Big Banyan Tree Restaurant and invited them to open an elf bar here. This office will be mainly a bar, supplemented by the offices of various guilds, and is committed to creating an organization dedicated to serving explorers who come to the Eastern Continent and the major aboriginal races and rangers of the Eastern Continent.

Just when Lin Jue was tired of running around for the affairs of the entire colony, a news reached Lin Jue's ears.

Lin Jue was carefully looking at a piece of paper on the table, on which a string of symbols was drawn, this string of symbols was drawn by Lin Jue last night according to the symbols composed of stars in the sky, and this morning Lin Jue copied it by taking advantage of the sea water to destroy the trace.

"When is this?" Lin Jue frowned, sat in the governor's office, raised his head and asked Bi Fang, who was standing at the table.

Bi Fang replied: "Last night, when a group of soldiers was patrolling, they found it near the eastern section of the city wall. When they were found, they were scarred and dying. ”

After a moment of silence, Lin Jue asked, "Can you determine their identities?"

"One of them, judging by his attire, is supposed to be a forest elf archer, and the other is a dwarf, but neither of them can be determined. The two were badly injured, especially the elf, and our medical treatment didn't seem to work much for her. ”

"Is there a liaison to inform the two communities?"

Bi Fang shook his head and said, "Not for the time being, it seems that the two escaped from the forest, I think something is wrong, they are still in a coma until now." I'm going to settle these two people first, and I'm going to ask you for advice first. ”

Lin Jue thought for a while and asked, "Could it be that they came here when they encountered some beast in the forest and were seriously injured by the enemy?"

"No way, the wounds they received were left over from the battles with people, mainly knife wounds, arrow wounds. ”

"So, until you find out what's going on, keep quiet for now, protect them secretly, and let me know when they wake up. ”

After Bi Fang was ordered to leave, at this time, a soldier walked in: "My lord, there is an elf lady who wants to meet you, it is said that she is from the Great Banyan Tree Restaurant in Dawning City, she has received your invitation and is waiting in the reception room. ”

Lin Jue said, "Invite her here." ”

When he was the only one left in the office, Lin Jue fell into deep thought.

There's something strange about this. Dwarves and elves are two races, although the two sides are not mortal enemies, but they are two races that hate each other to the extreme, the elves dislike the dwarves for being dirty and grinning, and the dwarves also dislike the elves for being delicate and coy.

Two races that looked at each other completely invisibly, got together, and were seriously injured, and were found near the human town. Let's not talk about the dwarf, let's talk about the elf, a forest elf will actually escape from the forest, it is like a fish jumping out of the water and waiting to be picked up on the shore, which is completely impossible. But she did, and she appeared with a dwarf.

"But why are they together, and who wounded them like this? Or are they mercenaries who support each other in order to escape because they have encountered a powerful enemy. However, in the forest, why didn't they go directly to the elven kingdom, but ran to the territory of the human race?" Lin Jue was analyzing in his heart.

"Unless, for this elf, the forest is no longer safe. But who can threaten a forest spirit in the forest?"

Lin Jue was thinking about this strange question, and the soldier had already led an elf girl into the office. Lin Jue looked up and was stunned.

"Eltanis...... Miss?" it turned out that she was the elf girl who served them at the Great Banyan Tree Restaurant in Dawning City before.

The elf girl smiled and said, "It turns out that you are Your Excellency the Governor of Phoenix City, it is an honor, but I didn't expect Your Excellency the Governor to remember my name." ”

Lin Jue's face turned a little red, and he stood up, not knowing what to say for a while.

"Can I sit down?" Eltanis said with a smile tilting his head.

Hearing this, Lin Jue's face became even more ruddy, and he hurriedly said, "Of course, please sit, please sit." ”

Eltanis came to the desk and was about to sit down, when she saw the paper on Lin Jue's desk, or more precisely, the strange string of symbols on the paper.

This detail was noticed by Lin Jue, who picked up the paper and asked her, "Miss Eltanis, can you understand this?"

Eltanis shook his head and said, "It seems to be Elven language, but it's not like it, please forgive me for my limited knowledge and can't tell the difference." ”

Lin Jue was a little disappointed, he was sure that this string of symbols must be very crucial, but it couldn't be translated like this, and it was useless to have this string of symbols alone. This witch is really, why don't you write Chinese directly? It can't be because she can't write it, right? Lin Jue complained in his heart.
