Chapter 81: Turmoil in the Empire
Auguste Ellis, the new emperor of the Auron Empire, has been very uncomfortable lately, and the former ministers who were deferential to him have begun to disobey him, and the younger brothers who had respected him have begun to ignore him as an emperor and run their own small forces.
August really wanted to take down those powerful ministers and replace them with his own henchmen, but he was only half-knowledgeable about government affairs, where was he the opponent of those powerful ministers? instead, he was caught and lost a few henchmen.
Failure is the mother of success, this sentence is still very reasonable, Auguste has experienced several failed struggles, he decided to jump out of the circle of Auron City, because the power here has been infiltrated and controlled by the powerful ministers and nobles.
So, August set his sights on those small and medium-sized nobles in remote areas of the empire, well, those small and medium-sized nobles with potential and ability, and he didn't want to find those "Adou" who couldn't be supported, after all, the resources in his hands were also limited.
In this way, Lin Feng, the southernmost "baron of a desert island" in the empire, came into August's sight, how to say that Lin Feng was also a young mage lord, at least on the surface, he was much more valuable than others.
Unbeknownst to Archmage Carrido, after he left Auror, a group of the Emperor's envoys followed the same path as him.
After Auguste took this "good move", he didn't know what to think, he suddenly drove his younger brothers back to their respective fiefdoms, August felt that this was out of sight and out of mind, but in fact, after these princes left the imperial capital, he completely lost control of them.
Therefore, August was not happy for a few days, but he found that there were many "semi-independent" dominions in the empire, and the lords of these dominions were his "good" brothers, and to add insult to injury, those powerful dukes and marquis of the empire were also seeking autonomy.
This is worth it, the old emperor has just died less than a year, and the empire has become like this, doesn't it mean that the new emperor August is an incompetent, well, August will not admit it anyway.
In order to maintain the dignity of the empire, August sent a large army to quell the rebellion, but the generals who led these armies had long been controlled by the ministers and nobles, so the rebellion became more and more chaotic, and more and more local nobles were involved, and the storm that swept the entire empire was inevitable.
......
Tyranya finally returned to Nanlin Island, poor little Tylanya turned into an eagle and flew all the way back, and when she was tired of flying on the road, she would find a random place to rest for a while, and when she was hungry, she would nibble on a fruit, well, that is, she had been promoted to the Moon Pool Druid, otherwise she really couldn't fly.
Therefore, when Lin Feng saw Tylanya, he was taken aback, "This little pale-faced and sluggish elf in front of him is really his Tylanya?" Lin Feng, who had never seen her like this, was distressed and a little frightened, and thought something had happened to her?
Lin Feng was also greatly moved when he learned that Tailanya's flew back in order to be in a hurry, and only said that he would not fly like this in the future, and if he wanted to fly, he would wait until her Liya grew up and ride it.
Speaking of Liya, Tyranya couldn't care about the fatigue of the journey, and said that he wanted to go to see Terge and Riya, Lin Feng had no choice but to send Tylanya to her room first, and then put her into the space.
It is said that good things come in pairs, and after Tyranya's return, another five days passed, and Archmage Kalido, who came all the way from the imperial capital of Holy Dragon City, also arrived at Crescent Harbor. After Lin Feng heard the report of his subordinates, he hurriedly called Tylanya to go with him to greet Archmage Kalido.
That night, Lin Feng held a grand welcome dinner for Carrido at Sunset Fort, which was attended by Linnab, Jackson, Philip and other high-ranking people from South Forest Island, and Lin Feng also introduced them all to Archmage Carrido.
Carrido is very happy, his student is not only going smoothly on the road of a professional, but also very good at governing the territory, Carrido has also known about his own student before, and knows that his territory was still poor and white when he inherited the title!
After the dinner, Lin Feng and Carrido had a long talk in Lin Feng's study, and it was at this time that Lin Feng learned about the great changes in the interior of the empire, well, Carrido learned on the way here that August sent troops to quell the chaos and caused even more chaos.
After sending Teacher Carido to rest, Lin Feng returned to the study, found out the map of the empire's territory, and marked those self-reliant dominions on the map one by one, but thought to himself, "The empire is still only a civil strife, but it is not far from a civil war, I must hurry up and develop." ”
"Maybe it's time to take out the treasure," Lin Feng muttered to himself as he took out Ogo's "Black Tide" treasure map and looked at it. During this time, Lin Feng found a few literate old orcs among the orc refugees and asked them to decipher the beast language characters on the treasure map, and the results were not bad.
Philip has mentioned it to Lin Feng a few times in the past few days, asking him to approve the organization of the fleet to sail to Xilin Port again, the large merchant ships are okay to say, Lin Feng now has ten, well, the "South Wind" has been assigned to the navy, that is, there are still nine, and in addition to the "Breaking Waves" that built the "Rose Relay Station", Lin Feng can use eight large armed merchant ships.
Before Teacher Kalido arrived on Nanlin Island, Lin Feng still had some concerns about how many warships to escort merchant ships, send a few more warships, Lin Feng was afraid that the Marquis of Jinyue would come to take revenge again, so he would only send three or two, and he was afraid of an accident in the sea area of the Orc Empire, you must know that there are many forces there that beat him with the idea of hiding the treasure map.
But the arrival of Teacher Carrido, on the one hand, he can sit on Nanlin Island in his absence, and on the other hand, Carrido brought news of the internal strife in the empire, and the Marquis of Jinyue is estimated to get this news.
At this time, the Marquis of Jinyue should not have time to trouble Lin Feng, after all, the Jinyue family also has a lot of territories within the empire, and it is estimated that it should be chaotic now.
Early the next morning, Carrido knew that Lin Feng was now building his Mage Tower, so he was very interested in visiting it, so Lin Feng said to him: "I have already reserved a room for the teacher in the Mage Tower, and when the construction is completed, the teacher can live in it." ”
Due to the fact that during the construction of the Mage Tower, Lin Feng was required to personally use Adamantite Gold and Mithril to depict the refining rune network inside the tower, which was the key to linking the energy pool and transmitting magical energy to all parts of the Mage Tower, and only Lin Feng could do it on Nanlin Island.
Therefore, the construction speed of his mage tower is very slow, especially in the recent period, Lin Feng has not had time to depict the refining rune network, so the mage tower is now in a state of semi-suspension.
