During this period of time, other than the bad news of the same talent recruitment, Feng Chou had also received another piece of bad news.
Qiankun Pagoda had analyzed some disappointing information from the daily information collected by the scanners installed in the Grand Theater, high-end clubs, and other places.
According to this information, it seemed that the churches of the various gods had strictly prohibited the sale and dissemination of magic information.
In order to verify this information, Feng Chou went to the Casablanca Grand Library to look up some historical and legal documents.
In these historical documents, Feng Chou discovered that not long after the fall of the Arcane Empire, the various gods had signed a "Treaty to Prevent the Spread of Arcane Magic."
Based on this treaty, various countries had formulated many corresponding laws.
Feng Chou found detailed legal provisions in the "Constitution," "Arcane Magic," and "Aristocratic Law" of Alvendell that prohibited the sale and dissemination of magic information.
The law stipulated that people could only obtain magic knowledge through the Mage Academies in various places. This was a limited and controllable way.
Any individual or organization that sold or even gifted spell materials without permission would be severely punished.
If any aristocrat wanted to cultivate mages, they could only cooperate with the Mage Academies in various places that were recognized by the Church of the God of Arcane Magic and the God of Knowledge to set up local Mage Academies. Moreover, the level of magic knowledge that could be taught in Mage Academies of different levels was strictly controlled.
It was illegal for any aristocrat, organization, or individual to cultivate mages privately. Under the most serious circumstances, such an illegal act would be treated as a blasphemer. This was almost the most serious crime in the world. Even a king could be exterminated because of this crime.
Because most of these laws were targeted at the upper-middle class aristocrats, only they would have magic information that had been passed down from their ancestors. Therefore, Leo, who was born in the lower class of aristocrats, was not aware of the existence of these legal provisions.
With such strict laws, Feng Chou's plan to enter the upper-class society of Casablanca and obtain magic knowledge through monetary transactions was completely unsuccessful.
This news made Feng Chou disappointed, but he also heaved a sigh of relief.
From Chapman, Feng Chou knew that it was not easy to enter the upper class of a city. It was a long and painful process. You had to face endless banquets and repeated probing. It might take you several years to enter the outer circle of the upper class. If you wanted to enter the inner circle, you might need a generation or even several generations. Of course, powerful strength and rich territory were essential.
Since the upper class did not have what he wanted, he did not have to suffer.
Feng Chou asked Qiankun Pagoda to collect the scanners scattered in the slums. After reinstalling the magic gems, the scanners were placed in schools, courts, commercial districts, prosperous factories, docks, and other places in the city.
For the time being, there was no hope of continuing to obtain information on high-level spells. Feng Chou simply focused on the training of his own warriors.
During this period, Natasha was extremely depressed. Feng Chou practiced the Steel Soul Style. Natasha, who loved martial arts, naturally would not let go of Feng Chou. She used the excuse of guidance as an excuse to spar with him. Then she realized in despair that almost every three to five days, Feng Chou's strength would undergo an obvious change. This change was not only in the improvement of his physical fitness, but also in the improvement of the Steel Soul Style.
In just three to four months, she went from being able to easily suppress Feng Chou to being suppressed by Feng Chou. Then, she watched as Feng Chou broke through to become a high-level warrior in just four months.
Of course, all that she saw was what Feng Chou wanted her to see. In fact, in just four months, Feng Chou had grown into a powerful warrior close to level-14.
What made Natasha even more depressed was the progress of her knight apprentices. In just a few months, some of them had already reached the level of a level-3 warrior. This unbelievable thing even made Natasha start to doubt her own life.
Just like this, after another three months, Feng Chou received a letter from Chapman. The renovation of the new Amborite castle had been completed and it was ready to move in.
After receiving this news, Feng Chou did not rush to the territory. Instead, he went to Casaranca City to visit some down-and-out gentlemen, law school graduates who could not find a job, business school graduates, and failed businessmen.
Feng Chou used rather generous rewards and official positions in the new territory to recruit a group of destitute gentlemen, law school graduates with mediocre grades and bad eloquence, business school graduates with lower family backgrounds that were hard to find jobs, failed businessmen …
After recruiting these people, Feng Chou summoned them to his territory and introduced them to each other. Then, he wrote out a list and let these newly recruited subordinates work together to make purchases. For example, he let the failed businessmen be in charge of purchasing, the down-and-out gentleman be in charge of reviewing, the accountant who graduated from business school be in charge of payment, and the law student be in charge of supervising the purchasing process.
Of course, the cooperation of these people was full of loopholes, but under the supervision of Qiankun Pagoda, there was no cheating.
This was not to say that the people of this world had high moral standards, but because these people recruited by Feng Chou had been strictly inspected and analyzed by Qiankun Pagoda. In terms of moral standards, they were definitely qualified.
After a week of hurried preparations, Feng Chou successfully recruited more than a hundred families and boarded a small magical passenger ship called the Windward to the new Amborite.
In addition to carrying hundreds of people, the passenger ship also carried more than ten tons of supplies.
After a week of sailing, the passenger ship docked at the new Amborite port.
After more than half a year of construction, the new Amborite port had been completed, and most of the port town had also been completed.
According to Feng Chou's plan, the town's central square was located not far behind the port. Surrounding the central square were four of the town's most decent buildings. Among them, the one facing the port was the territory's parliament building. On the left of the square was the territory's court building, on the right was the town hall building, and on the back was the port administration building. The port administration building was a double-sided building, facing both the square and the port.
These four three-story buildings were not eye-catching in Casablanca, but in this remote countryside, they were a little too extravagant, causing the whole of Benedict to spread the news of Baron Amborite's wealth.
In addition to these four buildings, Feng Chou also built some shops facing the street. Further away from the town center, there were many open spaces where basic roads had been built.
