Chapter 35: The Wind Rises

Lin Feng, who once again became a "poor man", returned to the Chamber of Commerce and met Fabio Sler, who was introduced by Jackson. Lin Feng had a general understanding of his situation, so he arranged for him to be under Jackson and temporarily served as Jackson's fleet staff officer.

As for Jackson, when he took the time to mention to him about Fabio's injury, Lin Feng readily agreed to help. Well, as long as Fabio regulates his body (Fabio's depressed life over the years has also caused excessive wear and tear on his body, and there are also a lot of minor injuries and dark injuries), he can start treatment.

Originally, Lin Feng wanted to stay in Golden Moon City for a while longer, but an urgent communication from Nanlin Island frustrated his wish. This message was sent by Cook, who was left behind on Nanlin Island, and it did not explain much, only a few short lines, to the effect of: "There is a strange ship coming to the island, and I hope to return as soon as possible." ”

......

In a luxurious aristocratic mansion in Golden Moon City, in the low-key and luxurious study, three inconspicuous men stood in front of a desk, and the man in the lead was reporting something to the elderly man sitting behind the desk.

The majestic old man didn't seem to care much about listening to the report, but he also interrupted his subordinates from time to time to ask for some details. This pressure made the face of the man who was reporting to him paler and paler, and some sweat slowly oozed from his sideburns and forehead.

This old man is the most powerful of the three field marquis of Golden Moon City, his ancestor once dominated Golden Moon City, and the reason why Golden Moon City was named "Golden Moon Territory" is because his family territory is called "Golden Moon Territory", and his family is also called the Golden Moon Family.

The Aolong Empire is very dissatisfied with the fact that the largest commercial port in the country is held in the hands of a strong nobleman, so in the past hundred years, successive emperors have supported many agents here, and after continuous infiltration and suppression of the Jinyue family, they finally reluctantly divided two marquis here, so that Jinyue City is no longer a monopoly belonging to the Jinyue family.

Philip, a family of chambers of commerce that was originally only second-rate in Golden Moon City, was promoted to the first-class in just a few years, and he also mastered the exclusive sales channels of physical elixirs, perfumes and other goods, and his future development potential is not ordinary.

The other chambers of commerce in Golden Moon City and the nobles behind them are all enthusiastic about this, and through the investigation in the past few years, everyone basically knows that the Philip Chamber of Commerce can rise because he has relied on a nobleman, a field baron who does not belong to the local area of Golden Moon City.

A field baron can't scare these local nobles in Golden Moon City, there are many field lords here who are higher than the baron's title, and any viscount or earl should be able to subdue that little country baron, and then take over Philip's Chamber of Commerce.

Of course, it is also because there are too many people who take a fancy to this piece of fat, after these nobles in Jinyue City fought with each other, it was easy to coordinate the interests to be divided, and they were about to start, when the bad news came, this baron is still an intermediate mage, well, to be specific, a tenth-level mage who is only sixteen years old.

At this moment, the nobles who felt that their strength was insufficient automatically retreated, and even those nobles with strong strength also suspended their actions because of this, and instead further investigated all the information of Lin Feng, after all, no one could guarantee that there was no greater backer behind such a young intermediate mage.

As the Marquis of Golden Moon who is determined to restore the glory of his ancestors, if he wants to fully control Golden Moon City again, he will inevitably be tempted by the newly rising Philip Chamber of Commerce, and to completely master the Philip Chamber of Commerce, Lin Feng, the baron, will definitely not be able to get around.

Marquis Jinyue also knew that Lin Feng had only one fifteenth-level peak archmage teacher behind him, and he was the biggest backer, but his teacher was far away from the imperial capital, far away from here. And according to the results of the investigation, his teacher basically has no possibility of going one step higher, well, offending a great mage and offending a mage or even a mage, the consequences are still very different.

In this way, Marquis Jinyue had the intention to move Lin Feng again, he had planned to start acting after Philip's auction was over, but at this juncture, the spies in the city brought him bad news, "Lin Feng went to the mage union, and after he came out, he changed into a new badge identified as a twelfth-level mage, and he actually became a great mage."

It's still that problem, taking the initiative to provoke an intermediate mage and taking the initiative to provoke an archmage, the consequences are also different, for the former, as long as he grits his teeth, as a field marquis, he can still withstand the pressure of the empire and the mage union.

However, the Dharma position of the Grand Mage level is not something that he can do at the same time. This level of legal office basically belongs to the backbone of the empire, and they are also the middle and high-level existence in the mage union, and they are the most important force in both the empire and the mage union.

Priests below the Grand Mage level can still be cultivated as long as they have a certain amount of talent and are willing to cultivate resources, while magicians, magisters, and even legends at the Grand Mage level and above can be piled up without relying on stacking resources, so they must have extraordinary talents.

Generally speaking, the great mage is a threshold, and if you step into this threshold, you have further possibilities, even if it is considered that the path to promotion has almost been cut off, no one dares to guarantee 100% that he will not be able to advance, what if there is a miracle?

Therefore, every great mage is a rare talent in the eyes of the empire and the mage union, and every extra one gives him more hope, and a hope of having a place in the top legal field. Well, so they are also the most protected.

As for the magicians and magicians above the great mages, if you have the ability, you can provoke them, and the people who can stand at that height in the field of the Dharma profession, which one does not have two brushes, and which one does not have a single force behind them? Well, no nobleman will try it easily, after all, the worldly power cannot be compared with those extraordinary forces.

Marquis Jinyue waved away his three subordinates and sat alone in the study for a while, and years of forbearance and planning made him restrain his irritability. "The stronger the opponent, the more careful the plan," he muttered as he left his study.

At the same time, several other great nobles in Golden Moon City also received similar reports, and invariably, they all shelved or slowed down their plans against Lin Feng, they were all cunning old foxes, and no one was willing to easily provoke the two great mages without scapegoating.
