Overseas archipelago.

The geography of this area is a bit special, because it originally belonged to a continent, and then a large area of land shelf plate collapse and subsidence occurred, and finally the regional geography became like this. On the map, it looks a bit like the Spratly Islands near Singapore after the past, except that there are more scattered islands than the continental plate, the largest of which is the territory of the Amazons, then the base camp of the indigenous people, and many large and small islands scattered across the sea.

As he entered the area of the overseas archipelago, Sauron's face became solemn.

The environment in this area is a bit like a tropical rainforest area, full of unknown dangers, and it doesn't seem like the small islands are too noticeable, but in fact the challenges of these islands are all level 9 or higher. In other words, even a team of adventurers composed of third-order strength or so could be wiped out on some of these small islands. There are a lot of unknown and terrifying creatures here, some of them are even smaller, but they are more dangerous than the wurmists.

And there are also quite difficult prehistoric pythons to deal with, and some of them can reach more than 15 challenge levels!

It's basically the same as dragons.

Sauron didn't have the slightest idea of going up to see these small islands, and there were some places that even the natives wouldn't approach lightly, so he naturally didn't plan to explore those dangerous places indiscriminately. His destination was a large island further ahead, and if he remembered correctly, there was an island in front of him with a diameter of more than five hundred square kilometers, and next to it there were other partially inlaid islands. This was Sauron's first stop, and he had set up camp here if it was suitable.

Because the places he picked were all locations with natural harbors!

Two more days passed.

When Sauron saw a towering mountain in front of him and a cliff standing on the shoreline, he finally knew he had reached his destination. There were many seagulls in front of him, dense woods could be seen in the distance, there was a thick guano on the ground, and the nearby islands were all stopover points for migratory birds. That's why a huge amount of guano has been accumulated here for thousands of years. Don't underestimate these guano, they're a valuable resource!

Because to put it more simply, these guano cover the land over time, and they are the best fertilizer when they are refined a little!

Sauron chose this place as a stronghold, and naturally it was not only because of the geographical advantage.

"Stop here."

Sauron looked at the others, then cast his gaze to a spot on the cliff where there was a metal cross on which it seemed that bones could still be seen. This white bone was once a well-known pirate king, but he later fell into the hands of his enemies and was directly crucified to it with a cruel penal code. His ghost appears there, but it must be encountered at a certain time. He will make a difficult request to the others, and if completed, he will receive his treasure.

The soul of this pirate king is in the spirit world, and it seems that meeting his soul requires special requirements!

Sauron wasn't interested in taking on such a task right now, and although the difficulty of the mission was quasi-legendary, he looked at the others and said, "You guys stay here!" …… Adele Isabella! …… Humpback Whale - Hulk! …… Come with me to the islands! ……”

A small clipper was put down.

Sauron soon arrived on the island with a few people, probably because there were few outsiders here, and when they first set foot on the island, they actually flew into the sky full of birds. There seemed to be a noise in the distance, but it quickly calmed down. This area is only relatively safe for towns to be built, and Sauron is naturally not naïve enough to think that there is no enemy here. He didn't go too deep into the jungle either. Instead, they came to a flat land south of the cliffs, a natural flat land where others found it and finally founded the town.

There are some white-looking stones in the woods that are brittle to the touch. It shattered with a pinch.

Sauron picked up a piece and sniffed it, then a smile appeared on his face, and the others picked it up and sniffed it curiously. But immediately threw it away with a look of disgust, because of the smell of feces and urine. None of the pirates saw the value of the stones, but to Sauron they were the most important treasures, even more valuable than a gold mine. It's an inexhaustible gold mine, but the natives don't know how to use it.

- "Struvite is a type of ore, also known as the dung of birds and beasts. The accumulation of droppings and carcasses of birds, bats and seals is an excellent fertilizer. [Geography of Knowledge]

Sauron's mind was reminded of what he had learned.

The location of this island near the woods is the accumulation point of struvite, because it is in the area where migratory birds migrate, and it is not known how much struvite has accumulated for thousands of years.

But!

There's more to it than that.

Sauron looked around cautiously, then pressed his hands on the hilt of his sword, gestured to a few of his subordinates behind him, and said in a deep voice, "Attention! There's a chance you'll encounter monsters around here! ”

He gradually advanced along the flat ground, and as he got higher and higher, the terrain began to turn into a high slope.

Then a red earth appeared in front of me.

There were a few moving beasts nearby, but they fled as soon as they saw Sauron, and the beasts sensed the danger on them, and even a cheetah ran into the jungle in fright. Sauron cut through the dirt with his scimitar, then reached out and twisted the red dirt, which he pinched in his hand and threw it on the ground with a smile on his face.

Clay indeed!

At the beginning, he remembered that the town built here was made of red bricks, and he didn't know what kind of craftsmanship was used, but in just three months, a brick house was built, and a large wall was cut out. Bricks have been around since ancient Rome, and humans have been trying to make other things out of clay since the beginning of firing pottery. Sauron even knew a little about the process of making porcelain zuò, and the firing requirements of red bricks should not be too simple for him.

But.

The most critical point is how to increase production, the world's construction technology is still quite high, but it is not popular in mass production. Most of the high-end products were made by spellcasters, and Sauron didn't know how the group had burned so many bricks in such a short period of time. But that didn't matter, that group of people only started to expand overseas after the Sage Catastrophe, and he was now two years ahead of schedule. Even if he lacks a little technical advantage, he can preemptively develop into a larger scale.

"What are you doing?"

A guy who looked like a big-headed doll, but with a fierce and hideous face, stood behind and muttered, "It's looking at the rocks and the dirt!" Are you looking for a suitable place for farming? Overseas land is wasteland, and even if it is cultivated, it will take several years to become mature land. ”

"Don't look at me like that! …… I also worked for years before I became a pirate! ……”

The pirates all looked weird, anyway, it basically had nothing to do with good looks, he noticed that other people looked at him strangely, and couldn't help but laugh: "Don't look at the sharp when I cut off my head." Actually, I'm pretty good at farming. ”

Sauron ignored the back.

He walked all the way to the top of the high slope, then looked down at the flat land in the distance, and then calculated the size and distance of the space in his mind, perhaps because of the powerful computing power, or because of the numerical simulation, he actually built a rough model of the town in his mind, which can actually accommodate the development space of a medium-sized city. Don't underestimate those guilds that opened up overseas in their previous lives, many of them are professional-level talents, and the places they choose naturally have many comprehensive advantages.

………………

The other side.

The half-elf first mate stood on the bow of the ship. Suddenly, he seemed to feel something, and couldn't help but look down at the bottom of the water, and the person next to him asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?" ”

He stared at the bottom of the sea for a moment before shaking his head lightly, "It's nothing. It just seems like I've seen something. ”

Minutes and seconds passed.

It was about two hours later. Sauron finally finished surveying the nearby area, and then returned with the others.

He's got a decision in mind!

Although he still had two spare places to visit, Sauron was already very satisfied with this place. The other two places are a bit out of the way, both of which are still a day or two away. I want to expand overseas. It is necessary to rely on the resources of the mainland, so the closer the route is, the better, and it is easier to transport other materials. This location is whether it is a natural port, geographical advantages, land resources, etc. It can be regarded as a first-class place for overseas islands.

Another advantage here is that the location is relatively far from the range of the Amazons, and it is not near the base camp of the indigenous people.

Due to the small size of the island, not many indigenous people have migrated there.

This place in the overseas archipelago.

Generally speaking, the larger the island, the more competition is fierce because it is a large territory, and conversely, the smaller the island, because there is not enough room for development, sometimes there are no indigenous people.

The island in front of me is just right, not too big, not too eye-catching!

"Disembark!"

A smile finally appeared on Sauron's face, and he said in a deep voice, "Bring all the supplies down to me, and arrange for men to camp on the flat ground in front." ”

He's ready to enclose here.

(It's not easy to quit smoking, day 6...... Recently, the mental state has been difficult, and this plot is written slowly, so there may be fewer updates. Exploring overseas is not just a matter of casually enclosing a lot, it is completely an act of looking for death. In fact, there is a lot of foreshadowing in this plot, and many things must be explained clearly. Finally, in two days, I will announce to you a major event full of positive energy. Momda. Wait until I get through this time, and then I will have a big explosion. (To be continued......)
