Even if you make him work for free, his efficiency and attitude would probably be unmatched by others. Besides, Aiven is not a heartless boss; the benefits would never be any less than elsewhere.

Finally having recruited a core crew member who can be relied upon as a backbone, Aiven felt immensely pleased.

Chief Navigator Milan, Boatswain Gary, First Mate and Cannon Commander Boris, plus himself as a captain who is both a Peak Knight and an Official Wizard, this is a luxurious lineup that many Level 1 Battleships can't boast!

The two chatted casually as they walked to the bustling port area.

"What is this?"

Aiven suddenly noticed a striking red notice on the bulletin board nearby. When they docked, it was empty.

Curiously, he walked over. The content of the notice was very simple, just a short line.

He read it out softly:

"Report immediately to the city hall upon discovering traces of Olivia and receive a Golden Lion as a reward?"

The abrupt notice left people baffled. Who is Olivia? Why look for her traces? A wanted criminal? Without a portrait, even if we saw her, we wouldn't recognize her!

Before he could ask, Boris, who also saw the notice, was already explaining this unique Far Sails phenomenon to Aiven with a stifled laugh.

"Hahaha... This has been a regular program in our Far Sails Territory. It started last year, appearing once or twice every now and then."

Boris, continuing to walk, explained the inside story to Aiven.

This Olivia is not a criminal but the cherished gem of the Marquis and Marchioness Yuanfan, their only daughter, and the sole legal heir to this burgeoning prosperous territory.

If this were a few hundred years ago, during the era when the feudal system was in full swing, calling her a princess for this territory wouldn't be an exaggeration.

However, this young lady is somewhat different from other well-behaved noblewomen.

To many old-timers, she might even be considered "rebellious."

Though extraordinarily intelligent, excelling in literature, arts, mathematics, etiquette, and territory management, possessing all the skills a noble heir needs, surpassing 99% of the noble ladies, and being the pride of the Marquis family.

But her interests and hobbies extend far beyond this.

She is actually more proficient in marksmanship, swordsmanship, navigation, loving adventure, hunting, and... fighting!

She often sneaks out alone for adventures, during which she discovered a massive phosphate mine for the family in the central western part of the Aimoer Peninsula.

Although there are no chemical fertilizers at this time, it's also an important raw material for "alchemy bombs," possessing indescribable strategic and economic value!

Thus, this became unstoppable.

Mines, rare medicines, economic plants, aboriginal relics... gradually the Aimoer Peninsula could no longer satisfy her interests, and her exploration took her farther and farther.

Going out for ten days, half a month, or even one or two months was quite normal.

Even three years ago, she organized a group of privileged youths from the colony to form an armed fleet claimed to be the "Dragon Cavalry."

She secretly went out and eliminated a pirate gang "Fiddler Crab Pirate Gang" with Official Knight Level pirates, just because they plundered a birthday gift she bought for the Marquis from the Kingdom Mainland through a merchant group...

At that time, she was only fourteen years old.

Other similar "great achievements" are even more numerous.

This really caused the Marquis and Marchioness a bit of a headache, but due to busy territory affairs, they couldn't keep her by their side all the time and could only let her be.

"She's really a unique girl.

But in a place like the New Continent, only a leader with such a personality can ensure the safety of her people, right?

I think as an heir to a large family, there's nothing bad about it."

From Aiven's viewpoint, there was nothing inappropriate about having an heir with such a personality; no matter how outlandish, could she be more so than his sister who went to be a pirate?

"Of course, there's nothing bad for the inhabitants here.

But for those dignitaries who want both financial and human gain, it's terribly bad! Hehehe..."

Boris chuckled mischievously as he continued to tell Aiven the deeper story behind the notice.

Eighty-five years ago, pioneering hero Count Old Aimoer led the family's private army as a Great Knight, expelling a strong remnant group that lingered due to the demise of the Azik Empire and had occupied this place.

Then, he took over this feng shui treasure land with a warm climate, fertile soil, and abundant water, also known as Tallahassee in Azik's native language, meaning "the land of blooming flowers!"

You don't know what Old Aimoer was thinking at that time; he directly moved the entire family from the comfortable Kingdom Mainland to this barren land with nothing.

Although the title advanced to Marquis, it was far away from the kingdom's core powers.

What seemed like a foolish decision back then gradually paid off in the following decades.

Especially as these years saw the territory thriving, the title of Marquis Yuanfan also became more prominent, incomparable to the domestic nobles who mostly traded land for economic benefits.

However, regardless of how high the value is.

Under normal circumstances, no one would dare to covet this land belonging to a historical great noble, with a Great Knight overseeing it.

But many people's thoughts are simple: "Daughters are destined to marry!"

The higher the Extraordinary level of a family, the later the fertility time.

The main reasons are twofold: One, the stronger the power, the harder it is to raise offspring, two, the higher the Extraordinary level, the more optimized the family bloodline, giving offspring an excellent starting point at birth.

So, this family has never been populous. In this generation, Marquis Aimoer, Duke Amor, is only the single grandson directly descended from the lineage of Old Aimoer.

To Olivia Amor, even more so, she is the only child of this family generation.

Whoever marries her, even if it's a son-in-law, is equivalent to having an equal share of this rich independent kingdom!

Therefore, since a year ago when Olivia turned 16, there have often been young nobility with good self-esteem visiting.

This scope is not only limited to Phaletis; even eligible young people from other Tulip colonies are eager to give it a try, wanting to achieve both personal and financial gain without effort.

"So, I believe this notice is never to find the runaway young lady, but to tell those buzzing flies, the main character is not home.

Moreover, even as a Great Knight, Marquis Yuanfan could live for 150 years, those coveting someone's beautiful daughter and this vast estate should look in the mirror, can they outlive the father?"

By the time they reached this point, the two had boarded the merchant ship of East Lenz again.

Watching Far Sail Port getting smaller and smaller.

Boris continued:

"Moreover, compared to the excellent leader Duke Marquis who devotedly manages the territory.

This young lady seems to have inherited Old Aimoer's legacy; she is more like an adventurer at heart than a lord!

No matter how big the territory is, it cannot contain her heart exploring the unknown world.

Those who dream of sudden wealth must be disappointed."

Regarding Boris's earlier words, Aiven just listened with a smile; sometimes listening to gossip from great noble families is quite interesting.

But when he heard the term "adventurer at heart" from Boris's mouth, Aiven seemed to be struck by lightning.

Instantly stunned on the spot!

"An adventurer at heart?"
