Arcane Lord

If you want to open up a new territory, you will definitely need the support of the Saville Territory. The lord has promised a certain amount of supplies, but the princess doesn't know if the supplies are available because she won't go to Conchi City.

Therefore, the location of the territory should not be too far away from the Savile Territory to avoid increasing development costs, but it should not be too close to the Savile Territory to avoid the development of the Savile Territory itself.

Xia Duo lay on the map, observing the terrain inch by inch, studying the right place to choose. He had never done similar work on earth.

However, a lot of public knowledge on the earth is hidden here, such as territorial development that ordinary civilians may not have access to in their lifetime, Xia Duo can still tell 12345.

Similarly, while most people were considering the difficulty of developing territory, Xia Duo was already planning for subsequent development.

First of all, there is no need to be far in the middle from Wolf God Mountain to the Saville Territory. In the future, it is likely to be surrounded by the Saville Territory, so we will have to choose the river or the east.

Watching, watching, Xia Duo suddenly rubbed his eyes. His hand had just swept across a piece of terrain, and he felt something inexplicably familiar.

But he had never been there before. Where did this inexplicable sense of familiarity come from?

Xia Duo blocked other positions with his hands and highlighted that area. Looking again, he felt even more familiar, but he really couldn't remember where he had seen it, unless it was——

"map!"

Xia Duo instantly thought of his previous willingness to search for maps in the library, and immediately started rummaging through boxes and cabinets in the room.

Finally, he found a spell notebook he had used during his apprenticeship. He opened it to a certain page and saw that there were indeed some similar patterns. Sha Duo breathed a sigh of relief:

"It is indeed this!"

This is a long strip of map two fingers wide and one finger long.

After Xia Duo killed Old Neil, he took away two account books. There were two pieces of paper recording the secret text of the account books. These two pieces of paper were obviously secret text annotations, but in fact, when the two pieces of paper were overlapped and faced against the light, You will find——

The secret text that was split into two parts actually formed a map, just like the yin and yang pattern on the earth used to prevent counterfeiting of banknotes.

When Xia Duo first discovered this map, he went to the library to look for a lot of information, but couldn't find the right information, so he slowly put it down.

Unexpectedly, there is another clue now!

Xia Duo quickly removed the page from the notebook and placed it on the map. After careful comparison, the secret of the secret map was revealed.

Savile led about 20 miles south, close to the Wolfburg River but not on the riverside.

"Is this where Old Neil's treasure is?"

Xia Duo expressed his doubts. Putting aside the dangers in the forest in the past, this distance alone was very unrealistic. Who would hide the treasure 20 miles away.

How much wealth can an innkeeper use to make him feel safer hiding his things 20 miles away?

Unless it's not his thing at all, and it's something that can't be moved!

If it were Xia Duo himself, if he really knew where the treasure was, he would try his best to get it to himself!

Xia Duo put aside the matter of the treasure for the time being and continued to study the selection of the location of the territory. As he watched, Xia Duo's eyes focused more and more on that treasure hiding place.

It's not that Xia Duo was fascinated by the so-called treasure, but that area is indeed more suitable for territory. Xia Duo stayed there for a long time before.

Of course, treasures also have certain blessing factors.

However, compared with the territories on the eastern trade routes, it is still difficult for Xia Duo to make a decision. One is that there are trade routes that can quickly open up the situation and obtain the return of funds.

The other is that it is blessed by waterways, which makes transportation more convenient and allows supplies to come in and out. The disadvantage is that there will be no income for a long time.

As long as the territory is not developed to a certain extent, people visiting the lower basin lake will not be willing to stay.

In general, Xia Duo still prefers to choose the eastern territory. After all, treasures and other things are always illusory, and Xia Duo still prefers visible benefits.

After making the decision, Xia Duo rolled up the map and put the "treasure map" page back into the original spell notebook.

Take a shower and go to sleep!

…

In his sleep, Xia Duo unexpectedly came to that magical dreamland again, turned into water again and became the Yangtze River, and his intuition spread rapidly from the Kunlun Mountains.

Traveling across mountains, jungles, canyons, and plains, Xia Duo felt that everything in his body was growing, nurturing the civilizations on both sides of the Taiwan Strait to thrive.

Until it finally merged into the East China Sea, the past dream ended here. Xia Duo thought that this time he would return to the Kunlun Mountains and turn into water, and do it again.

But this time it's different.

Xia Duo felt that his body and consciousness extended from the sea to the sky. His breath turned into a storm, his tremors turned into thunder, and he felt that he was rising rapidly.

Then, there was no more, and Xia Duo once again became the water flowing down from the Kunlun Mountains, rushing all the way to the East China Sea, and so on.

After waking up from the dream, Xia Duo felt that he was still the same lively water, but then he let out a sad and angry roar: "Fuck!"

It turned out that when his bloodline was awakening, he unconsciously summoned water again, and this time the amount was particularly large. When Xia Duo woke up, he was lying on the bed that was completely soaked.

It was a good thing to awaken his bloodline, but it was really unbearable for him to do it every time he awakened.

Xia Duo quickly controlled the water in the room, threw it into the bathroom, and then carefully experienced the gains after awakening his bloodline.

First of all, his strength has not increased, but he can still feel that his body has become stronger. This feeling is similar to intuition, just like a healthy person saying I am good, but Xia Duo's feeling is stronger.

Secondly, the bloodline ability can indeed affect the second layer of the magic network, but the storm and thunder in the dream have no effect.

It’s still just [Control of Water].

Of course, it would be wrong to say that there were no changes at all. Xia Duo could clearly feel that his breathing became smoother, and he seemed to be holding his breath for longer, and his voice seemed to be louder.

Perhaps this is the harbinger of storms and thunder.

But what Xia Duo couldn't figure out was what the rules were for bloodline awakening. He had given up hope on it, and he didn't expect to come out to "tease" him again now.

It’s really both exciting and annoying.

…

The most important thing today was to determine the location of the territory with the lord, but the moment Sha Duo picked up the map, he suddenly remembered the bloodline awakening, which seemed to remind him that it would be more advantageous to choose the waterside.

Of course Xia Duo was not superstitious, but after thinking about it carefully, he did not take the bloodline factor into consideration before. It would indeed be more advantageous to be close to the river.

He has already acquired the ability of "water", and then "wind" and "thunder" seem to be not far away from making clouds and rain.

To a certain extent, the water is his home field. If his consciousness can spread to the entire river basin and control the hydrology like in the dream, it will be almost the power of a god.

Xia Duo suddenly remembered that he had never been to the river since his bloodline awakening. Thinking of this, he was not going to meet the lord. The lord didn't say a specific time anyway.

He was going to the river to see how far this [Water Control] could go.

Jiang picked up the map and put it down, then took some necessary belongings with him, and Xia Duo quickly left the room.
