"True picture? hehehe...... What do you mean by this, is our picture fake?" asked the old man calmly, not angry. Xia Xinghan replied with a smile: "Old man, it seems that I am right, you are so calm and relaxed, which shows that you have a true plan." How could you be so calm otherwise. And anyone who knows some mapping knows that although the dune map has a dune flow, there are a few reference points that can be fixed even if they change no matter how they change, because the dunes are loose structures. After the sandstorm passed, the largest sand dunes were just like that. But as long as you can find the north, you can still distinguish it on the map. ”

The old man laughed out loud and said, "This is what you only know but you don't know why, hehe...... Boy, the dunes aren't too big, but my plan is to go around the dunes every time and get you to Shakara before the next sandstorm, as long as you reach Sand City, the desert capital. and you will be safe. ”

Xia Xinghan said with a smile: "You can discern the changes in the sand dunes in a short period of time, this is because there is a real map, and the location of the real map is not the sand dunes, but the location of all the ancient cities in the desert. All I want is this picture with the ruins of the ancient city. I believe this picture is also very expensive. ”

"Looks like you know the picture?"

Xia Xinghan said with a smile: "I can also draw, and my ability to work on the map is even stronger than all of you here." ”

The people who were making the map put down their work and looked at Xia Xinghan, it was obvious that everyone was not convinced, Xia Xinghan said calmly: "Unconvinced......? Of course, I won't be convinced. I have here a topographical map of the area around Martial God Harbor that I drew myself. You can always take a look at my drawing skills. ”

Xia Xinghan unfolded the map, and the old man was immediately stupid when he saw the map, because Xia Xinghan's mapping was too accurate and terrifying, because this map not only marked the location, but also the height and changes in the mountain terrain. These are diagrams that his diagrams simply can't do.

The old man was surprised and said, "How did you draw this picture, and how can you draw it so clearly?"

"Quick drawing is one of my skills, to be able to quickly draw the terrain I see by visual method, although it can't be particularly detailed, but at least if you are marching and fighting, this map is definitely much more accurate than your maps. I'm not here to play, I'm hoping to get the real map with the ruins of the ancient city, I need that map, I need to find the ancient city I'm looking for. ”

"Find the ancient city you are looking for?" the old man nodded, and then he whispered, "Didn't you look at my map? ”

"No, you don't, and if you had, you wouldn't be able to change the map every time. And I want a map to have a map of the Nine Shadows Imperial Capital, do you have it?"

When the old man heard this, he stiffened, and then he laughed loudly: "Hahaha, the Nine Shadows Emperor Capital? Boy, you are bold enough. If you're willing to pay for it, I have this picture, but this picture, 10,000 gold. Do you have one?"

Xia Xinghan generously took out two golden coupons and said, "As long as it can be done with money, it won't matter." ”

The old man looked at Xia Xinghan for a moment, he looked at the two gold coupons with a denomination of five thousand, and then said with a smile: "Okay, I can give you this picture, but can you tell me, what do you want this picture for?" The Nine Shadows Emperor Capital has always been a danger, and all the ancient city ruins in this desert are actually part of the Nine Shadows Emperor Capital, and I have marked the location of the inner city of the Nine Shadows Emperor Capital as much as possible, because this location is very dangerous. To stray in is to die. ”

Xia Xinghan said confidently: "I came here for the Nine Shadows Emperor Capital, so I naturally have my own preparations and my own considerations. As long as the shopkeeper gives me the picture, everything is easy to say. ”

The old man raised his hand, and one of the men lowered his head, and he turned and walked into the main house, and after a short time he took out a map of the ancient city. After Xia Xinghan unfolded the map, he said with satisfaction: "I see, in fact, this Nine Shadows Emperor is the ruins of an ancient city buried under the desert?"

"That's right, that's the reference we use to draw the sand map, which is what you call the real map. The old man smiled and took a sip of tea.

Xia Xinghan looked at the picture with satisfaction, then put it away and said, "When will the latest sand map be drawn?"

"I'll give you a picture of it, and I won't be able to make it until the next sandstorm is over. But if you go to find the core of the Nine Shadows Imperial Capital, this one is easier to find, you go to Shakara first, there is an underground passage in Shakara, and you can directly see the Nine Shadows Imperial Capital. This secret passage is also the place where everyone goes to the Nine Shadows Emperor Capital to explore. Shakara was built on the basis of this secret passage. ”

Xia Xinghan smiled and said, "Thank you." ”

Xia Xinghan didn't care at all about what treasures the Nine Shadows Emperor had, because he knew that all the treasures had actually been transferred by the Nine Shadows Valley, and they must have been dealt with when they were transferred. It must be difficult for outsiders to get close to here, the people who forced into the Nine Shadows Valley are still alive, how can people outside easily get their things.

The old man smiled and raised his hand, and he continued: "I have a reluctant request, how did you draw this picture, and what do the detailed annotations represent?"

Xia Xinghan said calmly: "Outposts, fortifications, fortresses, arrow towers, lookout posts, cliffs, rivers, bridges, ......" Xia Xinghan pointed out one by one, the old man looked at it in surprise, this map also uses contour lines to mark the slope and steepness of the terrain one by one, judging from the ease and density of the slope, you can see at a glance where is the slope and where the cliff is.

The old man said in a deep voice: "There is also a reluctant request, how to draw this kind of picture?"

"Generally speaking, this kind of diagram is in equal proportions, and my diagram is calculated according to one to fifty thousand, that is, one grid of my ruler, on the diagram represents the five hundred steps of the real situation, which is calculated according to my personal step, so I use this unit of measurement as the scale of the diagram, so that holding the map is not only to see the direction, even if it is the distance, it can be clear at a glance. ”

The old man suddenly said, "I see! You can already make this kind of picture so accurate?"

"That's right, I can do it so accurately, a big picture of 50,000 to 50,000, for me, I can draw it in minutes, this is one of my basic skills. When Xia Xinghan said this, the old man really admired it very much, and the old man said: "My name is Tu Wen, and my family has been drawing for generations. I have another map here, this map is a part of the map of the Nine Shadows Emperor Capital, I haven't been to the rest of the places, so I can't draw it, you can go there, if you can use it, it's good. However, I hope you can teach me about drawing before the next sand chart comes out, and in return, you two can live with us. As a guest of honor, I believe there is no better place in this town than we are!"

Xia Xinghan smiled and said, "Okay, thank you then! I can teach you how to draw, but take me in, and you won't be afraid that the Blood Tiger Mercenary Group at the door will trouble you?"

"He only dared to be outside, not to come in. You can rest assured at this point, if you provoke us, we will change their drawings at any time, and most of them will be killed or injured. Tu Wen replied confidently, Xia Xinghan nodded with a smile and said, "Well!

Regarding mapping, it is not a top-secret skill, the old man is willing to learn, Xia Xinghan doesn't care, he can teach. And you can get a good treatment, as a VIP in this local museum, but it is much better than the best hotel in the town, and when you encounter a sandstorm, some of the better houses are far better than those dirt houses, and the feeling is different.

Xia Xinghan stopped, and the news spread all of a sudden, and the Blood Tiger Mercenary Group also got the news.

"You say, someone hit you? And two elves?...... Here they are...... Could it be that Xia Xinghan is really here?"
