The southwest gate of the town faced the harbor on the southeast side of the bay. A large road connected the harbor and the gate of the town.
After exiting the town from the southeast gate, one walked along a straight road. After passing through an olive grove, a large wheat field began to appear on the roadside.
After walking for about ten kilometers through the fields, a small hill appeared in front of him.
At the top of the hill stood a small castle. The castle was surrounded by low walls around a small town.
If one climbed up this small hill, one would discover that on the north side of the hill, there was a large dam that used the terrain of the hill to block a three square kilometer reservoir.
Standing on the top of the hill and looking down, one would discover a complex irrigation ditch system. Using the raised water level of the reservoir, large tracts of farmland on the east and southwest sides of the hill were irrigated by the ditches.
Although the construction on the island had already realized Feng Chou's blueprint, the construction had not stopped. Several construction teams were busy at the seaside. On the seaside where the construction teams had been busy, a section of the dam was standing tall.
Once this dam was completed, the farmland on the island would be able to extend to the flat plains near the coast. At the very least, it would allow the farmland in the territory to expand by four to five times.
Feng Chou turned invisible and patrolled the sky above the Green Dragon Island. Then, he teleported away with satisfaction.
… …
Feng Chou teleported from the Green Dragon Island to an unexpected place, the Port of Tortuga!
Feng Chou secretly stayed in the Port of Tortuga for a week. His Seagull Magic Pet brought Qiankun Pagoda to hover above the pirate port every day.
In the end, Qiankun Pagoda silently abducted nearly four thousand pirates from this pirate port.
The pirates that Qiankun Pagoda selected were the most outstanding sailors in the entire port.
After these pirates were loaded into Qiankun Pagoda, Qiankun Pagoda modified them according to their past sins. Those with lighter sins had many memories that did not belong to them. Those with heavier sins were completely brainwashed. They were all transformed from vicious pirates into good, loyal, and reliable people.
After leaving the archipelago where the Port of Tortuga was located, the Qiankun Pagoda spirit opened up a large dimensional door that was concealed by an illusion. A total of seven large magic-energy steam-energy hybrid ships slowly sailed out of the dimensional door.
These seven magic steam-powered merchant ships were similar in appearance to the Frontier Knights. However, they were narrower than the Frontier Knights. The ratio of length to width was similar to the flying scissors in Earth's history.
Due to the reduced width, these new magic steam-powered ships could carry a lot less weight. They could only carry about eight thousand tons...
The magical wood used in these seven ships came from the Amazon speedboats. The steel was from Feng Chou's inventory at Golden Port.
Their magic steam-powered and magic steam-powered ships were similar to the Frontier Knights and Warriors. Due to the reduced width and tonnage, these magic steam-powered ships were much faster than the Frontier Knights.
The seven ships were filled with goods from the Northern Continent. These goods were the spoils of war that Feng Chou had swept through Bloodsail Town. Qiankun Pagoda had carefully removed the markings on the goods to ensure that they would not arouse the Bloodsail Pirates' suspicions.
Feng Chou planned to build a wizard tower on Green Dragon Island. Even if it was only a Master-level wizard tower, the cost would be more than a billion crowns. Feng Chou needed a way to make money on the surface. That was why trading fleets between the Northern and Southern Continents were a necessary facade for him.
Half a month later, Feng Chou led the fleet to Green Dragon Island.
After the fleet arrived at the port of Green Dragon Island, Feng Chou decided to undergo a long period of recuperation.
On one hand, it was because Feng Chou planned to hold a Legendary-level golden dragon ceremony for himself.
After the ceremony, Feng Chou estimated that it would take a long time to fully unleash the power of the bloodline.
On the other hand, Feng Chou had recruited some rather strong pirates from Tortuga Port. He planned to let these pirates be the instructors for the students in the territorial school for a period of time.
Among these pirates, the one that Feng Chou valued the most was the captain of the fleet's flagship, Green Dragon, the demon wizard Anrick.
Anrick was a crazy wizard. He had a crazy pursuit of bloodline modification. When he was still an academy wizard, he used the demon bloodline ritual to turn himself into a half-demon.
After the matter was exposed, he was wanted by the Guild of Magic because of his forbidden experiments and his demon bloodline.
Anrick, who could not find shelter on the mainland, had to escape to the sea and become a pirate.
It had to be said that this crazy wizard was also a genius. Generally speaking, when a high-level wizard injected himself with the demon bloodline, he would be completely demonized and eventually fall into the abyss as long as he reached a high level. However, Anrick had injected himself with the master-level demon bloodline very crazily, and still maintained his human identity. He did not completely demonize, nor was he rejected by the Plane of Existence of the Main Material World. This was a miracle.
After being sneaked into the tower by Feng Chou, Anrick's secrets were all dug out by Qiankun Pagoda.
Feng Chou found that the secret of Anrick's ability to maintain his human identity after injecting himself with the master-level demon bloodline was that he had made great innovative changes to the demon bloodline ritual.
As everyone knew, the biggest difference between demons and humans was that humans mainly relied on their physical bodies to carry the spirit, while demons mainly relied on their spirit to carry the body.
Anrick's change to the demon bloodline ritual was that he could allow the recipient of the ritual to maintain their physical form during the bloodline modification. As long as they could maintain this form, humans would not completely turn into demons, and would not fall into the abyss.
This kind of improvement was easy to say, but difficult to do. As early as the Arcane Empire, arcanists had proposed this conjecture. However, throughout the entire Arcane Empire, countless arcanists had worked hard to achieve this, but they had all ended in failure.
If it had been in the Arcane Empire, Anrick's success would have been sensational and epoch-making.
However, in this era, this wizard had no choice but to become a pirate because of his extraordinary research results.
It had to be said that this genius wizard was born at the wrong time.
After Qiankun Pagoda's investigation, Anrick did not commit any other crimes other than conducting research on demons. Even when his pirate ship was raiding, he never carried out unnecessary massacres.
Therefore, Qiankun Pagoda only made a small amount of memory weave on Anrick. In addition, he signed a devil's contract with Anrick. He promised to build a wizard tower within ten years and share it with Anrick for use. In return, Anrick had to be loyal to him for thirty years.
In Feng Chou's plan, Anrick's position as the captain of the merchant ship and the leader of the fleet was only temporary. He would be the chief mage under Feng Chou in the future.
