After entering the pitch-black portal, Ning Yuan didn't feel teleported, after thinking about it, Ning Yuan took a few steps forward again, and then Ning Yuan felt as if he had passed through a thin film, and his eyes suddenly brightened slightly.

Ning Yuan closed his eyes for a while, and when he opened his eyes again, he found himself in a stone cave. Above the stone cave, there are several Chang Ming stones to provide a light source, and below, that is, in the center of the stone cave, is a small stone platform, on which a jade box is placed.

However, the first thing that attracted Ning Yuan in the stone cave was not the stone platform and jade box, but the totem pole-like devices running in the four corners of the stone cave.

After taking a closer look, Ning Yuan found that there were several words engraved in the middle of each "totem pole", the two sides of the cave entrance were "absolute" and "drive", and the two inside were the words "town" and "shift".

Walking in front of the word "totem pole", Ning Yuan carefully perceived it and found that this "totem pole" was indeed running non-stop. Every quarter of an hour, an inexplicable wave spreads from the "totem pole" towards the space outside the entrance.

Ning Yuan spent half an hour carefully probing the state of the four "totem poles", and then faintly had some guesses. Only then did he walk to the stone platform and open the jade box on it.

Sure enough, inside the jade box was a crystal slip containing information.

After reading the information in the crystal slip with his spiritual power, Ning Yuan found that it was a letter left for him or for the heir of the Qin Alliance's inheritance.

"I don't know who you are? Don't know where you're from? But since you can come here and open the void door to enter this secret room, it means that you have been recognized by us. You are entitled to inherit everything we have left behind. Included in this treasure land that everyone in the world wants to grab. ”

"The four corners of this secret room are placed formation pillars with the outer runes as coordinate points, left and right, and all areas within a radius of five thousand miles in front of them. These four formation pillars were refined by me and my sister together, and the purpose was to take a safe area in the treasure land of demon beasts everywhere. ”

"You don't need to understand the specific functions and refining methods of the four formation pillars, you just need to know that the area within the formation is a relatively safe area. Within the scope of the formation, the demon beasts whose basic level is above the middle of the fierce level will be expelled, and all the demon beasts whose advanced strength has reached the level equivalent to the level of a cultivator will also be expelled, and the population of all demon beasts will be suppressed at an extremely low level. ”

"Next, I'll tell you some information about the area within the formation, including some information that we have calculated that will be helpful for building a city."

"Longman Lake and Longwei Gorge are natural deep-water ports and waterways, and I think you can see that if you can be recognized, you can also see it. You must wonder why it hasn't been discovered by the ships and pirates and bandits who travel to and from the open sea every day, right? In fact, our sister and I found out through field investigation and historical review that Longwan Lake, Longwei Gorge, and Half Moon Bay are indeed a natural path for the Dragon Prisoner Jedi to connect with the outside world. However, the entrances to Longwan Lake and Longwei Gorge were formed after the 'Dragon Sealing Disaster'. 6,000 years ago, there was no Longman Lake and Longwei Gorge. Xiaomei guessed that these two terrains were the upheaval that occurred after the earth dragon turned over. In other words, this natural path did not exist 6,000 years ago. ”

"As for why this place has not been discovered since it was formed? There are two reasons for this. One is that all the forces have placed their search for their way into this place on land, that is, the overland route across the mountains of the Fulong Mountains. The second reason is that the unique topography of Half Moon Bay hides this natural path. And the estuary of the underground water veins here is just below the surface of the cliff outside. ”

"But you don't need to worry, my little sister and I have already used puppets and formations to open up the entire channel, and now the exit on the other side of Half Moon Bay is enough for more than a hundred zhang of big ships to pass. As long as you're ready, you can turn on the mechanism and come and go freely. ”

"Let's talk about the situation in the safe zone. The total number and strength of the monsters in the safe zone should be guaranteed to maintain a safe level for 10,000 years, which is enough for you to ensure the basic safety of the city after you establish the city. The terrain is mainly plains, with hills and gentle mountains, so it can be said that it is an excellent terrain for building a castle. If you want a city that's easy to defend and hard to attack, look for the right terrain in the nearby mountains. As for the water source, Lake Longman is the best source of drinking water, and it is also rich in aquatic products. ”

"When it comes to property, the Dragon Prisoner Jedi is worthy of the title of Dragon Treasure Land six thousand years ago. The property in the safe zone alone is enough to feed a large city-state plus two medium-sized city-states, or a population of seven million. It also includes 2.1 million practitioners. There are many kinds of cultivation minerals under the plain area, all of which are large-scale shallow rich ores, and there are various special iron ores and copper ores such as akashi ore, cold smelting ore, dark iron and cold iron, etc. And, of course, the most important source stone mines. There are various grain and grass resources distributed in the hilly areas, including wild anmi, Qimai, etc., as well as various medicinal materials. The mountainous dense forest is rich in fruit tree resources. You will naturally see these things as your city is built. I won't dwell on it. Later, I will mark the specific location of all the proven resource sites on the map, so you can view it yourself. ”

"Finally, let's talk about the real purpose of leaving this letter, which is also our last gift to you. One is where the heart of the rules is placed. Marked by a cliff, a straight-line distance of ninety miles from Longman Lake, there is a natural leyline altar. This is the best place to place the Heart of the Rules in the entire safe zone. Cities with the Leyline Node Altar as the core will receive the blessing of the leyline, and although the specific effect varies depending on the nature of the leyline, one thing is certain, and that is the increase in the upper limit of the registered population. Keep in mind that the core of any city-state's power is population, and it is a registered population. And here, where there is no source of displaced people, the source of the population is only two Chosen Circles and non-human plunder. ”

"Yes, the second point I want to make is about non-people, that is, tribal things. My little sister and I found that although there were no city-states in this place, it was not without traces of intelligent races. Although the cultivators in the historical records have also found traces of the tribesmen's inhabitants here, there are not many, and when they encounter them, they will naturally be cleared. But after the closure of this place, I don't know why it became a concentration of tribal non-people. In the space of 6,000 years, these tribes and non-people have grown to an extremely large extent. Remember, the tribe is not a people, and it is a sworn enemy of the people of my city-state, and only prisoners of war can transform the tribe and non-people into a people through the rules of the city-state. ”

"In the end, () () please."

After Ning Yuan checked all the information, he was a little puzzled by the vague please. Shaking his head, he carefully reviewed the map with the exact location of the resource.

After reading the map, Ning Yuan's pupils unconsciously dilated slightly, even if he didn't know many things inside, and he didn't know the function, Ning Yuan still felt a shock, and he really had a little concept of the "Dragon Treasure Land".

However, after the shock, Ning Yuan floated a little solemn and worried. To be honest, this is the second time Ning Yuan has heard this after coming to this world. The first time was when he met Scar, when Ning Yuan said that he asked why he couldn't enter and leave the Dragon's Blood Forest during that time period, Scar and the others' first reaction was to ask him if he was a tribe or a non-people. The second time was in this letter.

What kind of existence is the existence of "tribal non-people"? What is the causal relationship with the natives of the city-state? These two questions were really imprinted in Ning Yuan's mind.

But for the time being, everything is a question without clues, and before he really meets the so-called tribal non-people, Ning Yuan can't come up with a good one if he wants to break his head. So soon Ning Yuan put down his doubts and turned to think about the altar.

Speaking of leyline altars, in fact, the stars also exist in reality. The capital of Zhuxia was built around a leyline altar.

There are many theories about the leyline altar, and the most crucial one in reality is that the leyline altar is capable of suppressing luck. Many people believe that Zhuxia was able to survive the three hundred years of world war, in addition to the unlimited burning of the essence and the efforts of everyone, as well as the blessing of Zhuxia's luck suppressed by the leyline altar.

Regarding the statement that the leylines suppressed the luck, Ning Yuan didn't believe it or not. Some of the details in the historical records are indeed mysterious and mysterious, and it is really said that it is the blessing of the luck of the summer that the leylines suppressed.

However, the leyline altar in the game has all kinds of miraculous things, which Ning Yuan has also heard of in the common sense contained in the memory of the realm. It seems that there is a player city lord on that realm line who has established a city on a certain leyline node, and then his city has gained a permanent city attribute that "the morale of the army will not be lower than normal".

What is the concept? It is that the morale of his city-state army will never be demoralized and demoralized when it fights. The combat strength of the army can be brought into play normally even in the most unfavorable circumstances.

So after knowing that there was also a leyline altar here, Ning Yuan was very surprised.

Since it was already dark, Ning Yuan directly meditated and cultivated in the secret room all night.

Early the next morning, Ning Yuan stepped out of the void gate, resealed the runes, and then walked along the cliff in the direction of the altar.

The dawn of Longman Lake is quiet and elegant, the water surface is smooth, and the wind is not happy. The thin morning mist floats on the water, giving Longman Lake a sense of mystery and ethereal in the quiet and elegant.

Looking back at the direction of Longwan Lake, Ning Yuan understood that this would be a direction that he would inevitably develop first. It is also a direction that must be strictly guarded against.

An hour later, Ning Yuan, who was traveling south along the cliff, finally saw the natural altar.

The so-called natural altar is actually a natural rune stone platform, just like the stone platform that grows on the ground is engraved with natural textures, and these textures form natural runes.

The natural altar in front of Ning Yuan was like this. A naturally formed gossip stone table, the stone table is naturally engraved with runes symbolizing yin and yang gossip, and the center of the stone table is an invisible vitality spiritual spring, with vines climbing on the stone table to stretch the branches and leaves. A quiet and mysterious aura naturally spreads around the altar.

Ning Yuan stood quietly in front of the altar and took a deep breath, a rich and pure vitality entered his body with his breath, Ning Yuan's spirit was suddenly shocked, and the Hongmeng worms in his whole body naturally rose into a burst of comfortable and pleasant emotions at this moment.

"Regardless of other factors, one day of cultivation here will absorb more vitality than ten days of cultivation in other places." Ning Yuan felt the double pleasure of spirit and body, and said to himself with a little sigh.

After his body had completely digested this breath of pure vitality, Ning Yuan had the idea to take the city knot out of the sea of qi with a single thought.

After the self-generated glorious city knot appeared, without waiting for Ning Yuan's movements, he plunged headlong into the "Void Spirit Spring" above the altar as if he were spiritual.

The prompt of the system sounded in my head:

"Are you sure you place the Heart of the Special Class Rules on the Leyline node?"

"Sure."

"The Heart of Rules has been bound to the 129,600th Vein Node of the Fulong Mountain Range. The player can delineate the initial city within a 10-mile radius. ”

In Ning Yuan's mind, all the terrain and landforms within a radius of fifteen miles automatically appeared, and a dotted line that fused Ning Yuan's consciousness appeared above the three-dimensional terrain image.

Ning Yuan's mind moved, and he found that the dotted line would make various movements with his thoughts, and it seemed that in this illusory picture, this dotted line was his incarnation.

"In other words, is this dotted line used to delineate the city limits?" Ning Yuan thought secretly, and then his mind moved, and the dotted line observed the terrain below along the picture.

Because the altar itself was located not far from the cliff, and the altar had to be located within the limits of the city, Ningyuan could only use the altar as the origin to expand north, south, or west. Further south, there is a woodland, which Ning Yuan remembers is the Qinggang Wood Forest marked on the map.

Qinggang wood is a kind of general-purpose wood that is extremely widely used, and can be used in construction, refining, puppets, and alchemy. Arrows made of green wood have the same texture as iron arrows, but they are much lighter in weight, and are the most popular arrow material for many light archers.

To the west is the plain, and at the edge of the stereoscopic image there is a stream that appears to be an above-ground tributary that flows into Lake Longhata and can be used as a nearby source of drinking water.

To the north, that is, in the direction where Ning Yuan came, the northwest corner of the image seems to be a corner of the granite mine marked on the map. Granite rock is one of the most widely used and best building stones in the Nino continent, and the buildings built with granite naturally have the effect of being warm in winter and cool in summer.

"Looks like there's not much to choose. Any location here is surrounded by abundant resources, and the soil is very suitable for growing crops. ”

Ning Yuan thought about it, with the cliff behind him as the natural boundary to the east, and the altar as the coordinates to the south to delineate ten miles, just keeping a distance from the dense forest dominated by green and rigid trees, and directly delineating ten miles to the west, as long as a little transformation, the stream not far away that does not know the specific width and depth of the water can become a natural "moat". To the north, it is still delineated for ten miles, and the angle in the northwest is just next to the Gangliyan mine.

"So be it for now." Ning Yuan muttered as he looked at the rectangular area that was twenty miles long from north to south and ten miles wide from east to west set by the dotted coil he had turned into.

After Ning Yuan retracted the thought on the dotted line, the dotted line suddenly lit up, and the area circled by Ning Yuan in the image lit up with a faint shimmer.

"Have you confirmed that the delineated area is the initial building range of the Heart of the Rules?"

"Sure."

When Ning Yuan completed the confirmation in his mind, Ning Yuan suddenly felt that he seemed to have established some kind of mysterious connection with the land in front of him, as if as long as Ning Yuan's mind moved, he could vaguely perceive what had happened somewhere.

Of course, Ning Yuan knew that this was just an illusion. As the owner of the Heart of Rules, Ning Yuan does have control over the land to some extent, but everything is based on the modification permissions that the Heart of Rules can grant. For example, in the case of Koca City, the entire city is set as a forbidden zone. However, any city rules are only valid during non-war periods, and all artificially set city rules during war will be completely invalidated.

"Ask the player to name the heart of the rules."

Ning Yuan thought for a while, and replied in his mind: "Because of dreams, dreams come true." Let's call it 'Yuanmeng'. ”

"The player's Rule Heart confirms the name 'Yuanmeng', and the city established according to the Rule Heart automatically gets the name 'Yuanmeng'."

"I really hope that all the power I have in my hands, whether it is personal strength or the power of the city-state, is completely mine, and not a fantasy given by some existence." Ning Yuan unconsciously sighed inexplicably, "My life is up to me, not to heaven." ”

As soon as the words were spoken, Ning Yuan was suddenly stunned, but before he could react, a feeling of dizziness and extreme exhaustion suddenly hit, and when Ning Yuan didn't understand what was going on at all, the whole person fainted instantly.

At the moment before Ning Yuan fainted, Ning Yuan seemed to hear a thunderclap and a faint cracking sound in a trance.

At the moment when Ning Yuan's inexplicable exclamation came out, the entire Nino Continent seemed to pause inexplicably. However, because the pause was so short, that the monk did not even have time to move, almost everyone did not feel it.

However, a certain being somewhere in the void seemed to sense something at that moment, and let out a slightly confused "um" sound.

When Ning Yuan woke up, it was already night.

Ning Yuan, who had a splitting headache, struggled to stand up, and a look of confusion and horror flashed in his eyes.

"What happened?" Ning Yuan muttered to himself.

"Ugh!" Ning Yuan rubbed the side of his brain a little unnaturally, relieving the pain of his brain a little.

Although he didn't know what was going on, Ning Yuan clearly sensed that something was wrong with his body. This feeling is a feeling of exhaustion when the spirit is fully overdrawn.

Ning Yuan, who barely kept his consciousness awake, frowned and took out a Bigu Pill and took it down, then sat cross-legged with difficulty, activated the Nine Refining Runes with a movement of his mind, and began to breathe and recover.

With the help of the exercise runes, Ning Yuan quickly entered the state, forgetting the pain in his mind for a while, and his entire consciousness naturally entered the state of contemplation and inward-looking.
