V5.Chapter 115

Today, due to some unexpected events, the progress of exploring the Wizard's Tower was delayed by a few days.

Because the old fur seal is back.

In fact, Sauron thought the old fur seal was dead. Navigating the sea is always unavoidable from accidents, such as encountering a powerful sea monster, encountering a terrible storm, accidentally hitting a reef, and so on. The fleet that the old sea dog brought out has been lost for two months. Basically, the management of Modo City has already thought that he is dead, and the position has been assigned to someone else to take over. But what everyone didn't expect was that this guy actually came back alive.

Come back alive and come back alive, the old seal was not a particularly important person in Modo's management.

But this time his return was a bit interesting.

Because the old fur seal brought back a lot of useful information to Sauron, this time he did not return to Modo City from the eastern route, but arrived at Modo from the other side of the Amazon rainforest along another route. This is a new route. The old seal's safe return proves that this route is not very dangerous, and in the crude nautical chart he drew, the final destination of this route is a huge and somewhat barren island. .

Located at the junction of the eastern world, the area is larger than the southern kingdoms combined, and one-third of the land shows signs of desertification, but it is not as serious as the eastern kingdom. There are remnants of ancient ruins on the island, because the age is too old to see not much on the surface, but there may be more undiscovered things underground.

The old fur seal and others discovered huge urban relics, but they did not see any aboriginal life.

This island is about two or three days away from the route of the Eastern Sea. From the local area they are currently exploring, only some Eastern pirates use the coastline here as a secret base.

No one from the eastern kingdom has studied and explored the island in depth.

It's not that people in the eastern kingdom have no adventurous spirit, but this island has some powerful ancient evils sealed in their legends.

The old sea dog and others have not encountered any ancient evil, and they are unlikely to come back alive if they encounter it. However, when they explored the edge of the city ruins, they encountered a lot of undead and ghosts. These things are not something they can deal with at all. After losing a few people, the old fur seal decisively gave up further exploration, and directly led the people to raid the lair of the oriental pirates at night, and then robbed them of a battleship and returned from the Amazon rainforest. Modo City.

The old sea dog still has some brains.

He actually knew that he would bring something of value from it to Sauron and show it to Sauron. Naturally, what was valuable to Sauron was not some gold jewelry. Modo City has no shortage of these things. What the old fur seal brought back was a bit of peculiar dark red soil, some special alchemy parts, the corpses of mutant creatures living nearby, and what looked like a light bulb.

In the words of the old fur seal, this thing was in a room of the ruins, and I don't know how long it was on.

There are two or three boxes of things that will come.

It's a pity that it's not something of amazing value. It can be seen that the old sea dog really just took people around the periphery. Sauron picked up an alchemy part and glanced at it, then handed it to Gloria and the fallen witch next to him, and said solemnly: "Could it be a fallen floating city?"

Gloria looked at some of these sundries, frowned and shook her head and said, "I can't be sure."

"The alchemy craftsmanship of these things is not very high, if it really is a floating city that fell there. Then why didn't a big explosion occur? Logically speaking, there should not be large cities with relatively complete preservation on the material plane now. Ruins. It may just be another wizarding city buried in history, and the specifics will have to be seen to be sure."

The fallen witch also nodded when she heard the words, and said slowly: "It doesn't seem to be of much value at the moment, but maybe you can consider taking a look after you take down the wizard tower."

"The complete floating city ruins on the material plane can only be found in the eastern kingdom."

Sauron nodded and said, "Yes. I see."

Done. He turned his eyes to the nautical chart in front of him, based on the nautical chart drawn by the old fur seal. His return route will pass through the Amazon rainforest and finally reach the borders of the eastern kingdom. Sauron tapped his finger on the map lightly, as if he was thinking about some important issue. After a while, he shook his head. Reached out and erased a marker on the map.

"The Eastern Sea is too far."

Sauron stared at the nautical chart in front of him and murmured: "At this juncture when the catastrophe of the saints broke out, it is no longer suitable for him to expand his territory again. The ice and snow country is because of Princess Anna and the eldest princess. It can resist those pirates, otherwise, because it is too far from the south coast, the management would have been full of loopholes."

"Eastern Sea."

"The benefits of taking it are disproportionate to the costs."

Sauron was already sitting on the territory of the Three Seas.

If he wins the Eastern Sea Area again, then basically in the sea area where human activities are carried out, it is close to completion, but the current situation is that the cost of winning the Eastern Sea Area is too high, and the benefits obtained are already very limited. One more Arendelle route was of little use to Sauron. He might as well put his energy elsewhere.

However, this area still needs to be marked.

The core territory of the Arcane Empire is in the Eastern Kingdom. When the Arcane Empire is destroyed, the place where the floating city falls is the East. No one is sure if they will run into a dead mouse.

A day passed in the blink of an eye.

Just when Sauron was about to continue exploring the wizard's tower, a little accident happened again.

Fallen City.

A very important piece of news was sent from the intelligence system of Modo City, that is, some half-elves in Fallen Leaf City seemed to be organized. They prayed for the protection of Sauron and prepared to migrate collectively to the overseas archipelago. Because this matter is of great importance, the people below can't make the decision at all, so they were sent to Sauron at the first time. Half-elf is Sauron's main source of believers at present, so he also attaches great importance to this matter. He definitely won't be too much about the population. If the half-elf plans to migrate to the overseas archipelago, he will definitely welcome it very much.

but.

Modo City can no longer hold it.

In the original design, Modo City was a structure similar to ancient Rome, and the population it accommodated was only tens of thousands of people. Even the third expansion would not exceed 100,000 people. It's not that the area of ​​Modo City can't hold so many people, but that the supply of various food, drink and Lhasa can only be maintained at this scale to make it easier to operate. The transportation capacity of this era is very limited. It takes a lot of effort to transport a boat of fishing goods from the port of Modo City to the inner city. Too large and concentrated population will cause Modo City to become quite bloated.

If these half-elves want to come over, they must not be treated as well as the first batch.

They estimate that they can only go to the towns that are being developed near Modo City. Only when these towns surrounding Modo City are all established, can the supply system be truly established, and the population of Modo City can be expanded to 100,000 people. above!
