Chapter 418: The Small Stage of Dorset Port
It was completely within Leo's expectation that the medical school had its power taken back by various countries. When he was in France, he had already felt some restrictive measures against the medical school by the French Empire and the United Kingdom of France, but those measures at that time were more restrictive.
It is still soft, such as using cooperation as an excuse to participate in some things in the medical school and taking the opportunity to take back some of the power that was given to the medical school in the past.
However, like now, all countries are ruthless against the medical school almost at the same time, knocking the medical school from being the largest non-state force on the Velen continent to the bottom in one fell swoop. And judging from various signs, the governments of various countries seem to have
They are not ready to stop just yet. They seem to be ready to completely carve up the various resources accumulated by medical schools over the years. This can be seen from the time when governments of various countries began to establish national medical schools of their own countries and aggressively poached talents from medical schools.
Leo's sense of the Velen Medical College is not very good, although he has several friends who are members of the medical school, and even some important members.
Because he could see that the current Velen Medical College was too huge. It was so big that the dean of the medical school might not be able to control such a huge non-state force. There were many factions within the medical school, and the power struggle was extremely serious. What happened in Miria City
The incident shows the chaos among the factions within the medical school.
In addition to the Great Miria Plague and the supervision of medical schools by various countries, which are the most sensational events in Velen in the past six months, there is another event that is also very sensational, but this event is not widely spread among the people, but in the academic world.
This incident was far more sensational than the other two incidents.
This matter is that the expedition team led by Rembrandt discovered an ancient ruins deep in the wilderness. According to the information obtained from the research, this ancient ruins appeared far earlier than the earliest ancient ruins discovered in the world of Velen, directly moving the time of civilization forward.
It has been estimated for more than 30,000 years, which is longer than the current recorded history of Velen.
As soon as they received the news, the highest academies in various countries immediately formed teams and sent scholars to the Moissan continent to participate in the excavation of the ancient ruins.
However, compared to the highest academies in various countries, there are some people who are faster. These people are adventurers and treasure hunters from various countries. For them, the appearance of every monument represents a lot of wealth, so now this
In their eyes, the monuments of prehistoric civilization are a completely open gold mine. What they have to do is to steal as many valuable things as possible from the monuments before governments take action. Any one of those things may cost them a lifetime.
No worries about food and clothing.
When mentioning these adventurers and treasure hunters, the expression on Old Seagull's face was not very good, and he was obviously worried about Old Rembrandt.
Before that, he had sent three groups of adventurers and treasure hunters who were very famous in Velen to the Mosang Continent. All of these adventurers were veterans, and it was not difficult to see from his experience that all of them had more than one life on their hands.
.
Although old man Rembrandt was willing to move around without protection, he was still worried about old man Rembrandt. For this reason, he even violated his own rules. After sending those people to the place, he secretly reported the whereabouts of these people.
It was delivered to Rembrandt through special channels so that Rembrandt could prepare.
When he heard this, Leo was not worried about Old Rembrandt. He knew the forces behind Old Rembrandt better than Old Seagull, and he also knew that there must be powerful supernatural forces around Old Rembrandt.
, as long as you don’t encounter that kind of mythical existence, I believe that with the strength around Old Rembrandt, you can survive any danger safely.
Leo was concerned about the ancient ruins discovered by Rembrandt. Although he had not seen the appearance of the ancient ruins, he could vaguely feel that the ancient ruins might be related to the Weiya people, and he couldn't help but have an impulse in his heart.
Going to Moissan continent.
But in the end, Leo still suppressed the impulse in his heart and decided to go to the Port of Set to rest for a while according to the original plan and take over the property that should have been in his hands before. So he asked the old seagull: "Have you finished the supply?
In the future, can you take me to the Port of Set? As for the shipping fee, I will use this instead."
As he spoke, he took out a high-energy substance from a psychic creature directly from his storage space. This high-energy substance usually appears in the shape of a ruby, and the color is very bright, and looks better than ordinary gems.
better.
The old seagull was a little confused about where the gem in Leo's hand came from, but he did not pick up the high-energy material. Instead, he stood up and said with a smile: "Since you are Mr. Rembrandt's student, you can also be regarded as a student of Mr. Rembrandt."
My friend, my friend does not need to pay a fare to ride on my boat. So just have a good rest! You will arrive at the Port of Sète tomorrow."
After saying that, the old seagull walked out, closed the door, and the sound of retreating footsteps quickly disappeared from outside the partition.
Leo put the things back into the storage space, then lay down on the bed, thinking about nothing, not thinking about his own body, nor thinking about the ancient ruins discovered by Rembrandt. He completely relaxed his mind and let himself
Fell into a deep sleep.
As usual, when it first lit up in the Port of Sète, noisy noises appeared in the dock area. Boats fishing for night fish slowly sailed into their specific dock at this time, carrying boxes of catches on board to
In the warehouse built on the dock, you can directly trade with the fish merchants who have been waiting here for a long time. Various quotations are heard one after another in the warehouse, which is very lively.
Baffo is the person in charge of this fishing pier. Every morning he patrols the fishing pier under his control like a lord inspecting his territory. Although he does not need to do this kind of thing himself, he only needs to instruct his subordinates to do it.
It's okay, but he still does it every day, rain or shine.
This is not because he loves his job, nor is he responsible, but because he enjoys the awe looked at him by the fishing boat owners. Of course, in addition, there are those who fell into their pockets.
Little guys.
Although as the person in charge of the fishing wharf, in addition to the fixed salary given to him by the city government every month, he also gets a commission from the wharf's income. He is considered one of the rich people in Sète Port, but
The bottom one.
However, recently he has had a lot of needs for money, mainly because he received the news that the person in charge of the pier controlled by Old Hairtail will be elected.
Old Hairtail is an old man in the dock area of Port Sète. He has been working here when there were only three cargo terminals in the dock area. After the dock area was expanded, Old Hairtail relied on his qualifications and many years of business contacts to obtain
He took over the management of the most valuable freight terminal in the dock area, and also took charge of the warehouses in that area.
It is precisely because of the dock area as a foundation, and the continuous financial support he received from the dock, that Old Hairtail has gradually become one of the most powerful people in the Port of Set. Not long ago, he was awarded a knighthood.
Became a nobleman.
Perhaps because he has made enough money from the dock area, Lao Haiyu also had the idea of retiring not long ago, and he also mentioned it in some public occasions. However, at that time, no one would believe that Lao Haiyu would give up this gold mine. Knowing the past
Soon after Lao Haiyu submitted his retirement application to the city hall, everyone realized that Lao Haiyu really wanted to retire. They also found out that Lao Haiyu had bought a manor in his hometown and planned to live there after retirement.
Tiannian.
The retirement of Old Hairtail caused some fluctuations in the upper echelons of Port Sète, but this fluctuation quickly subsided. For the powerful people in the upper echelons of Sète Port, they just lost a capable subordinate. The real big shock was
At the bottom of the Port of Set, after receiving the news, their sights all fell on the large cargo terminal area controlled by the old hairtail. Everyone knew that as long as they controlled that terminal, the new owner would be the one who controlled it.
old hairtail fish.
Although Baffo was not the first person to know the news, he was the first to react. He quickly found some big people who could influence the final decision, through the favors left over from the past and a large amount of money.
Gaining some advantages, he has received news that his name has been included in the list of candidates.
However, even if he had the upper hand, he was not without competitors. In fact, several of his opponents were very strong, so he had to be careful.
For example, Cass Langton, the owner of the Langton Hotel, although Cass Langton is a hotel owner in name, secretly he is one of the leaders of the gang in Port Sète. Through the hotel, he has won over some municipal officials.
, giving him extraordinary power in Port Set.
However, no matter how powerful he is, he is still just a hotel owner and gang leader, and is still far from a truly powerful person. Now that there is an opportunity for him to be promoted to the ranks of powerful people, he will naturally not let it go.
Although it had been a long time since Cass Langton received the news, he exerted great efforts and by winning over the support of officials, he was able to catch the last train on the candidate list.
There is also a strong enemy, Jim Langton, the dock tax collector. Jim Langton’s work qualifications and abilities are not terrible, but he has a very strong identity and background. He is a member of the Langton family, one of the most powerful families in Port Sète.
member.
Although the Langton family has little say in the dock area, it is one of the powerful families in Port Sète after all, and it still has some influence. Ever since Jim Langton was included in the candidate list without any warning,
It’s obvious.
For the wily Buffer, both Cass Langton and Jim Langton were easy to deal with, and he had already prepared methods to deal with them.
In fact, the method is very simple. For example, Cass Langton's gang background is his most fatal weakness. As long as some gang fights are triggered at a specific time, you can imagine what the powerful people in Port Set will think.
As for Jim Langton being easier to deal with, the Langton family is indeed one of the powerful families in Port Sète, but the Langton family is not the only powerful family in Port Sète.
According to some rumors obtained, the Langton family's move to forcefully include their own family members on the candidate list has caused dissatisfaction among other families in Port Set.
The dock area is the core area of the Port of Set. In order to compete for the control of the dock area, various families fought hard, causing some unnecessary casualties. In the end, no one gained control of the dock area, but the dock area became the default area.
The neutral zone is managed by people who do not belong to any family.
The Langton family had already crossed the default bottom line when they stuffed family members into the position of dock tax officer. However, the Langton family was well prepared and won the support of the vast majority of people, plus a dock tax officer.
, this small position will not have any big impact on the dock area at all, so I let the matter pass.
But now the Langton family actually wants to push family members to managerial positions in the large freight terminal area. This is almost equivalent to the Langton family planning to control the entire terminal area. This is the most important thing for other powerful families in Port Sète.
Don't want to see it.
In recent years, the Langton family's power in Port Seth has expanded rapidly, almost approaching that of the first family in Port Seth. If he gains control of the dock area, then the Langton family's power in Port Seth
It will expand to the point where no one can control it.
Anyone with a little bit of savvy can see this, so Jim Langton is the least likely person to get that position. However, in order to ensure that there will be no surprises, he has prepared a big job for Jim Langton.
meal, whether Jim Langton eats the meal or not, he will be kicked out.
Cass Langton and Jim Langton may be the people who are most capable of threatening Doubafo in terms of background strength, but the opponents that Bofo is most worried about are not the two of them. He feels that the biggest threat to him is the dock warehouse management.
by Jason.
In terms of background, Jason is the most inconspicuous among all the candidates. He comes from a humble background and does not even have a surname. The only thing worthy of praise is his status as a veteran and the royal medal he received.
Logically speaking, it is impossible for such a person to become the manager of the warehouse in the dock area, but this incredible thing happened. What's more, what Buffer didn't expect was that Jason actually formed a dock porters' union to organize
The porters at the dock gathered together and formed a huge force, a force that even the gangs in the city did not dare to provoke.
Because Jason's appearance was so strange, Buffer, like other curious people, also tried to find out some information. Only then did he discover that Jason was actually with the upstart Dr. Nelson Mathieu and Katherine Nightingale of Port of Sète.
The ladies are good friends, and they are the kind of good friends who go to each other's homes for dinner on holidays.
Dr. Nelson Mathieu is not a big deal. Although he is a member of the city council, he is basically not responsible for specific things. He only acts as a parliamentary observer and has limited influence on the freight terminal.
But Ms. Catherine Nightingale is different. Known as the Lady with the Lamp, she has an extraordinary reputation in Port Sète and even in the entire Kingdom of England. Not long ago, she was honored by eleven countries in Velen.
At the invitation of the head of state and the king, special nursing schools were established in various countries, and their reputation far exceeded that of anyone in Port Sète. Even the dignitaries in Port Sète had to lower their status when they saw this lady.
If such a big shot really supports someone to become the person in charge of the large freight terminal, the powerful people in Sete Port will not object to this matter. Instead, they will take the initiative to help Jason in order to get closer to this lady.
Get that position.
When Bafo thought of this, his head began to hurt.
