Chapter 34: Old Rivals
On the way back, Lin Feng's mind flashed with inspiration, isn't this refugee on the street also a kind of wealth? Nanlin Island is short of people, after these people are brought back, those who have skills can be arranged in various workshops in the territory, and those who have no skills can also directly become tenant farmers.
As for most of these refugees, they were orcs and other humanoid races, to be honest, Lin Feng really didn't think about it that much, and there was no time to wait. Seeing these refugees, Lin Feng had a faint premonition in his heart, a premonition that a storm was coming, in order not to capsize in the future storm, Lin Feng had to seize every opportunity to become stronger.
......
Jackson was walking in the slums near the Wharf of Golden Moon Harbor, treading on the dirt roads where sewage flowed, and the screams of women and the roars of men could be heard from the alleys on both sides, all of which explained the unbearable and dark place.
Fabio lives here, in a small wooden house in a slum. "If I hadn't met the Baron, would I have ended up like this one day?" Jackson thought as he knocked on Fabio's rudimentary wooden door.
In order to take care of Fabio's face, Jackson came by himself, no matter what they talked about. Out of respect for his former "old friends", Jackson didn't want to bring anyone else with him, and he didn't want to give Fabio even the slightest insult. Respect for the opponent is also respect for yourself.
Fabio Sler can be a formidable opponent for Jackson, and in addition to his excellent sailing skills, his individual strength is also superior to Jackson's. He was a sixth-level knight back then, and Jackson was only a fifth-level warrior at the time, and if it weren't for the mercy of his subordinates, the "memorial" he left Jackson with would be more than just a scar on his right arm.
Fabio sat on the low bed in the cabin, biting a piece of dark and hard bread in his mouth, and his eyes occasionally showed a hint of fierceness, but in the end he only turned into helplessness and decadence. Barely swallowing this small piece of black bread, Fabio was ready to go to bed, and in order to soothe his half-full stomach, he had only one choice.
At this moment, there was a knock on Fabio's simple wooden door, and he rolled over on the low bed, only shouting outside, "I have fallen asleep, and I will talk about it tomorrow."
Ever since he moved to a wooden hut in the slums, there have been wandering warblers or thugs who have come to knock on his wooden door at night. Of course, the knock on the door now is not like a gangster smashing the door to collect protection money, and Fabio is not interested in those street warblers, so he naturally has no intention of getting out of bed and opening the door.
But tonight's knock on the door was very persistent, one at a time, unhurried, persistent and stubborn. Fabio had no choice but to get out of bed and kick his shoes to open the door, and his already poor face was now even more gloomy and dripping.
Jackson looked at the man in front of him, and the past flashed back in front of his eyes, and in the end, only a big face with messy hair and a weathered face was left. Jackson didn't speak, pushed Fabio away and walked in.
Fabio didn't speak, closed the wooden door, turned back to stare at the familiar "stranger", and unconsciously, a bitter taste was spreading in his heart.
After a while, Jackson looked into Fabio's eyes and said bluntly, "There's a position in my fleet that suits you well, can you come?"
Fabio was stunned for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "What?
Jackson asked rhetorically, "Do you need my pity?" After a pause, he explained, "My lord is going to build his own naval fleet, and he is short of manpower, and you used to be a figure in this sea. ”
Fabio said, "You may be disappointed", he paused, stretched out his hands and clenched them, and continued: "I have been seriously injured, and I have injured the origin of the knight's battle spirit, and now I am a little stronger than ordinary people, I am afraid that I am not qualified for your position." ”
After hearing this, Jackson didn't pay much attention to it, this was to be expected, if there were no accidents, the former sixth-level knight would not have been reduced to the point of working as a coolie in the docks.
Jackson replied, "It doesn't matter, we need the sailing experience in your head, and we don't need you to rush to the front and fight." ”
Jackson stretched out his right hand and tapped under Fabio's chest, still a little reluctant to ask, "Is it irretrievable?" After all, a knight captain is better able to convince the public than an ordinary captain, and the chances of surviving in battle are much greater.
Fabio knocked off Jackson's right hand and said, "There is hope, but it is very slim."
"How?", Jackson turned his head to look at the cramped cabin, and asked, "Why is it so small?"
Fabio spread his hands, "As you can see, I'm penniless now, and it takes a lot of money to treat the damage of the origin of the battle qi", he sighed, and then said: "And if you have money, you may not be able to find someone to treat, that requires at least fifteen high-level peak priests or equivalent druids to help, that kind of person is not something I can climb."
When Jackson heard this, his heart was relieved, "What a coincidence, isn't the baronet-to-be baroness of Lord Baron just a fifteenth-level senior druid?" However, his face did not show any discoloration, "This kind of thing should be 'grace from the top', or let Lord Baron say it himself."
Jackson and Fabio are not hypocritical, since it is decided, Fabio took a simple bag of clothes and went back with Jackson, anyway, this wooden house was originally rented, Fabio has nothing to be nostalgic for in this slum, and it is natural to walk very freely.
After Lin Feng sent Tailanya back to Philip's guild hall, he took the little maid out of Shui Rou and went out to the branch of the Mage Guild in Golden Moon City, Lin Feng's current mage level is level twelve, and he has also entered the ranks of great mages. Well, our little Tyranya is a high-level druid, and it's always a bit awkward to go to the Mage's Guild.
Lin Feng came to the Mage Guild to test the magic level and change the badge on the one hand, and on the other hand, to buy some magic items that only high-level mages could buy, such as magic crystals that were limited to purchase in the Empire. In addition, by the way, she also got a junior mage badge for Shui Rou, after all, she now also has the strength of a second-level mage in the water system.
After some tossing, the gold coins in Lin Fengjing's card bottomed out again. It was also he who had the "foresight" to allocate the money for the purchase of warships and the recruitment of refugees before he came to the Mage's Guild. Otherwise, Lin Feng, who was addicted to buying, would probably become a lord who embezzled his "public funds".
