Chapter XXXIII
The civil strife in the Orc Empire has lasted for nearly three years, but it has not shown any signs of stopping, but has become more and more intense, and there are even signs of gradually spreading to other surrounding countries. The northern part of the Auron Empire was affected by this, and it also became chaotic and unstable.
Against this backdrop, the old emperor of the Aolong Empire also fell ill, and as a result, the rivalry between the crown prince and other princes became more and more obvious and fierce. To add insult to injury, the internal turmoil of the Aolong Empire has also become turbulent, and the constraints of the imperial power on the nobles such as lower kingdoms and principalities have become weaker and weaker.
Golden Moon Harbor itself is located between the Orc Empire, the Auron Empire, and the Elven Forest Dominion. Although it belongs to the Auron Empire, it is also heavily influenced by two other alien neighbors. In the chaotic environment inside and outside, all kinds of speculators, adventurers, and orc refugees are flooded with it, which makes Jinyue Port City also chaotic a lot.
Of course, risks and opportunities coexist, there are bankrupt and self-sold slaves, and there are poor boys who step on luck and climb to the sky. Fabio Sler was a hapless man, and after losing his last copper coin, he had to find a job at the docks carrying a bag of hard work to make ends meet.
On this day, Fabio, as usual, leaned against the stone pier of the pier to bask in the sun. At this moment, an ugly orc merchant ship approached from a distance, but the name of the ship was written in human language, and the large "South Wind" was nailed to the side of the armed merchant ship. Unbeknownst to Fabio, at this moment, his fate had taken a turn for the worse.
Right next to the rudder of the South Wind, Captain Jackson was looking at the dock with a telescope, and Fabio's fleeting figure appeared in Jackson's sight. Jackson immediately grabbed this somewhat familiar figure, looking at this "old friend" who had fallen to such a situation, Jackson put down the binoculars, and gently stroked a long scar on his right arm with his left hand, but he didn't know what he was thinking.
Lin Feng also followed the "South Wind" to Golden Moon City this time, and Philip made this auction a little louder, and Lin Feng, a powerful partner, was naturally invited to the town. Because the development of Nanlin Island has also reached a bottleneck, Lin Feng was bored, so he brought Tailanya with him.
Nanlin Island now has a population of about 30,000, but slaves account for 20,000 of them, and Lin Feng is not ready to buy slaves before these slaves are completely converted into tenant farmers, and these people are very nervous to take care of the 50,000 acres of farmland newly opened up on the island, and they are really unable to continue to expand.
In addition, the lack of various talents is also a major bottleneck restricting the development of Nanlin Island. Under Lin Feng's vigorous cultivation, Locklan, as the chief guardian knight of the family, has only risen to the peak of the tenth level in the past few years, and the other guardian knight families are barely "worthy of the name", and Lin Feng does not have much expectation from them.
With the completion of the Crescent Harbor on Nanlin Island, Lin Feng was also eager to establish a formal naval fleet, and Lin Feng could barely make up the prototype of a small fleet of various warships and ships in this fleet. But its composition is also very lacking, and Jackson alone can't do it.
This time he came to Jinyue City, Lin Feng also had the original intention of looking for various talents. Lin Feng's thoughts, he also told Lockland and Jackson, and he also had the idea of asking them to recommend talents. Of course, Lin Feng also promised that Lockland would be the head of one of the family's main knights in the future, and Jackson would be the best choice for the commander-in-chief of the fleet.
Before Captain Jackson could go ashore, he found an "old friend". Fabio originally belonged to the Viscount Jin Hui family in Golden Moon City, and Jackson's original fleet fell apart under the blow of this family.
As the sharp knife of Viscount Jin Hui, Fabio has fought with Jackson several times, and he has left a permanent memorial to Jackson, well, the long scar on Jackson's right arm.
Although the two of them are opponents, they only have public enmity and no personal grudges, Jackson still admires Fabio's talent, although he doesn't know what happened to Fabio and fell so far, but Jackson also has a faint idea in his heart, but he still needs to send someone to investigate.
Philip's Chamber of Commerce headquarters is bustling with lights and crowds, and tonight's auction here is a big spotlight. As long as there is a little power in Jinyue City, the leading figures have received invitations to the auction. Of course, the top celebrities are in the VIP box, the secondary ones are in the front row of the auction hall, and the last ones can only be relegated to the last seats.
Lin Feng sat in Philip's private box, eating fruit while looking through the auction catalog. Tailanya looked at the various people in the hall boredly, she had also learned a lot of etiquette from human nobles with Shui Wan in the past few years, and she still gave Lin Feng, a baron, face in front of outsiders.
"Hmph, Sister Ben Elf is still very good at taking care of Lin Feng's little brother, why does he still take that little girl from Shui Rou?" Tylanya scolded in her heart, and observed the little maid Shui Rou standing behind Lin Feng with the corner of her eye.
Shui Rou is only two years younger than Lin Feng, and now she is also a sixteen-year-old quasi-big girl, and her figure and face are really worthy of her name. Especially after discovering that Shui Rou also had a certain affinity for the water element, Lin Feng spent a lot of effort to train her to become a little mage of the water system, although she was only second-level, but she was even more qualified for the position of "maid".
This housekeeping, cleaning, well, the water mage doesn't do too much. Therefore, Lin Feng's daily life is becoming more and more inseparable from Shui Rou, seeing this, Shui seems to have transferred Shui Rou to Lin Feng as a personal maid, as for whether she has other thoughts, only she knows.
The auction was very successful, and Lin Feng made a lot of money because of it, and the gold coins for buying the battleship were basically available. However, for the sake of future development, Lin Feng also intends to establish his own shipyard, only in this way can he better develop the fleet. Then again, it's hard to find the gold coins and personnel needed to build this shipyard.
Putting aside these worries for the time being, Lin Feng took Tai Lanya and Shui Rou to prepare to visit Golden Moon City, but when they got outside, they regretted it. Fortunately in the aristocratic quarter, there are a lot of guards patrolling and standing guard, and there is not much chaos on the streets.
In the civilian area, it is much worse, the already dirty streets are occupied by a large number of refugees, thieves and beggars can be seen everywhere, that is, Lin Feng and his party are not easy to mess with at first glance, so no one dares to come up and entangle. However, this also made Lin Feng and the others lose interest in continuing to shop, so they had to go back early.
