Working Prophet

Li Yu raised his head and glanced at the noble lady across from him.

"You were there that day. If you break your oath and make it public, you will be ruined."

"I understand, I saw what happened to Antonio." Alisa looked serious, "But it is precisely because of this that the child can trust me again."

Li Yu was noncommittal and just asked, "Who made Torres change his mind?"

"I can't say." Alisa shook her head.

"Then I can't help you record the oath."

"I can pay you."

"I'm not short of money."

"Women? I can help you find a maid who is prettier than Clara."

"I approached Fausto to discuss buying Clara, not because she is good-looking." Li Yu shook his head.

"Then what do you want? Tell me, no matter how precious it is, I can find it for you!"

"You can't find what I want."

"How will you know if you don't try?" Alisa leaned forward while lowering her voice, "I heard some rumors recently that you once asked Ilea for the right to establish a sect in the green field."

"Then what?"

"If you are willing to help me, you can gain an ally, and I will stand by your side whenever you need me in the future." The lady said.

Li Yu didn't speak, seemed to be thinking about Alisa's proposal, and spoke after a while.

"Exchange of benefits?"

"That's right, this is a common method among nobles. There is no need for any psychological obstacles. Neither you nor I betrayed the child. Our starting point is for her good. Look at your words and deeds. You are in your hometown. He must be an aristocrat, so he must be able to understand."

"I'm not an aristocrat," Li Yu said, "I reject your cooperation proposal, and I will get the permission to form a religious group, in my own way."

"Would you stop thinking about it?"

"No, I was thinking about other things before, you shouldn't come to me today."

"I don't think so. Even if you don't want to help me, I won't regard you as an enemy." Although Alisa was a little disappointed, she still said politely, "Anyway, thank you for chatting with me for so long."

After speaking, the lady stood up and left Li Yu's room without bothering her anymore.

Afterwards, Li Yu tidied up a bit, and went down the narrow spiral staircase to the first floor of the castle. He said to the little maid and four children waiting by the door, "Have you brought all the tools, let's go."

What is the most important thing in the early stages of developing a strategy game?

The answer is - explore the map and find out the resource points around the birthplace.

Not long after Li Yu arrived in Luye, Guan Fausto asked for a map of Luye.

Maps are also rare items in Bratis, especially those that are detailed and usually have important military significance.

The lords everywhere will try their best to avoid such maps from falling into the hands of outsiders. If it weren't for Ilea's extraordinary trust in Li Yu, it would be very difficult for Li Yu, as a foreigner, to want to see the maps treasured by the Arias family. Not easy.

And getting the map is only the first step, and understanding the map is also a technical job.

Unlike the modern maps that Li Yu is familiar with on a daily basis, most of the maps on Bratis Continent use the orientation rules of up, east, down, west, left, north, right, and south, which looks very awkward.

However, the solution to this problem is also very simple, just rotate the map 90° counterclockwise.

The most eye-catching part of this map is undoubtedly the statue of the silver moon goddess Pishia at the top, flying in the night sky, overlooking the ground below, and different moon phase changes are painted on the four corners, but this part of the content Li Yu just Glance and stop paying attention.

He focused his attention on the territory below. To Li Yu's surprise, the Arias family's territory is quite large. According to Fausto, if calculated by the territory alone, the Arias family owns all the territory in the western region. Among the nobles, it can probably be ranked third.

But Li Yu soon discovered the problem. The shape of the Arias family's territory was very similar to the carrots they had been growing. It was top-heavy and unusually long and narrow, which also meant that they had many neighbors around them.

Anyone who has rented a house will know what a magical creature a roommate is, with both upper and lower limits.

And even if you are lucky enough to meet someone who is easy to get along with, after a long time and the distance is close, there will still be friction, not to mention sharing a rent with six or seven people at the same time, there must be a lot of troublesome things to deal with .

And once the flames of war ignite in the future, the defensive pressure that the Arias family will face will be extremely astonishing.

In addition, Li Yu also noticed that the big head on the westernmost side was painted in green, occupying almost one-third of the territory, with a monster with a lizard head and a human body painted on it, and the danger was marked with a red boy.

"What is this place?"

"Gaigu Great Swamp," the boss replied, "is a green land of death, from which the name Green Field comes from. There are all kinds of poisonous insects and monsters living in it, as well as savage lizardmen and all their creatures. The evil gods worshiped, and whenever the crops are about to be harvested, the lizardmen will run out of their damp and rotten caves and plunder the nearby villages.

"The lords of the Arias family have been worrying about these robbers. Even if you can kill all the lizardmen who will commit crimes in the future this year, they will still appear tomorrow, robbing the crops in the fields, abducting women, and killing people along the way. All the villagers on the road are just like mice, which cannot be wiped out no matter what.

"There used to be some people who couldn't bear the harassment of these robbers. Regardless of the decree of the Silver Moon Church and the prohibition left by their ancestors, they led troops into the Gaigu Great Swamp, trying to wipe out those bastards. However, most of them ended up The loss was heavy, and I had to flee back in embarrassment.”

"What about a small group of people?" Li Yu asked.

"Stay in the green field forever and become a part of it." The old man's simple words contained a lot of blood and death, as well as the unwillingness of the successive rulers of the Arias family.

"In short, the Great Gaigou Swamp is very dangerous, and outsiders will be swallowed by it if they don't pay attention, so I strongly recommend that you and your little assistants don't get close to it. Once you get lost in it, even if Miss Ilea called the territory All our soldiers and horses cannot save you."

"I understand." Li Yu nodded, "At this stage, I only plan to conduct some basic exploration and investigation near the castle, and will not go too far."

"That would be great."

"By the way, can I make a copy of this map?"

"Better not." Forstall declined.

"Okay, then I'll take a look." Li Yu didn't argue with the manager, and just looked down at the map in his hand.
