-- Because the island is a little too big.

They had the most advanced topographic instruments of the time, and the detection area was large enough to cover the territory of a small country, but even with maximum power, they could not detect the edge of this "island".

At first, they thought it was a malfunction of the instrument, or that there was something on the island that could interfere with the meter, so they sent an expedition into the depths of the island, ready to see the island in its entirety.

As a result, the first expedition did not return, and the second did not return...... Three teams have been missing, Bouya. Nitty finally notices that something is wrong.

The strength of the first team and the second team is relatively weak, perhaps because they encountered a monster and encountered an accident; But the captain of the third team is Roan. Garcia and Roger. Garcia, the two powerful twin mages, together is strong enough to deal with any crisis, but they still lost contact without even sending a warning back.

So the leader of the fleet began to prepare supplies, and once he had enough supplies, he took the rest of the men on a journey to find his missing companion.

"The middle paragraph is missing, master."

Little Lori in black said:

"I don't know exactly what happened, but the Empire has a broken map with five areas outlined, which should be the last clue left by these people."

"Those people are all dead?"

Natsu frowned.

The modern history of the empire mentioned these two twin mages, one of them is a dark mage who is good at dark spells, and the other is an elemental mage, both of them have reached the peak of the archmage, and under normal circumstances, even if there is danger, they can calmly escape, because they can fly.

"All of them are missing, I don't know if there are any people who are still alive."

The little Lori in black replied:

"The hosts. Elio and they've talked about everything, and now they're going back to their rooms to rest, do you need me to keep going? ”

"Forget it, come back."

Xia thought about it for a moment and decided to see what was drawn on that map first.

The little Lori in black followed her master to the cute room, and used the system panel to draw the picture she saw. And thoughtfully marked five areas with different colors on it.

"Based on the conversation between the two of them, the southwest corner, and due east, are the most dangerous, because the information received does not contain any information about these two areas, which means that none of the people who entered it will be able to return."

She said, pointing to two black-covered patches.

"And then these two yellow areas are the places where monsters are detected, and the danger is not very great, but there are very many of them, even if the whole area is cleaned up on the first day, it will pop up densely on the second day. I have absolutely no idea where these monsters came from. ”

"It could be underground, it could be in the jungle, it could be in the mountains."

Xia said disapprenanently:

"A lot of monsters that are elusive in the eyes of ordinary people actually just have some special means - the most common ones are burrowing and lurking, and these people are too much of a fuss."

"That's it, master."

The little Lori in black obediently echoed:

"These crew members don't even have a five-turn profession, and if they encounter a powerful hunting boss, it's easy to wipe them all out, and those monsters who are good at hiding won't be detected by them."

"Go on."

Xia stretched out his hand and pointed to the white position in the middle:

"This place should be a safe area, right?"

"That's right. Master. In the middle was the safest place the expedition had ever discovered. ”

The little Lori in black flew to the right side of the master and introduced her:

"The first people to come to the New World built a sizable camp in that place. Elio seems to think that the place could be converted into a city. ”

"He wanted to use it as the Harlem Empire's first territory in the New World, and then use the city as a base to extend around it, and at the same time build a special defense line along the coastline against enemies at sea to prevent others from prying eyes."

"It's quite thoughtful."

Xia sneered and said:

"If he envisions that the New World will be completely in the possession of the Empire, this appetite will be too great."

"But if there is an Imperial Fortress by the sea. It will indeed cause a lot of problems for other countries, as well as for us. ”

She gently curled her hair with her fingers:

"If the New World is rich in real estate, there is no need to transport materials specially; But if you want to occupy the territory, you need to have people, at least the artisans and the inhabitants. ”

"Master, you sued me before. You don't want to be the queen of Westminster, and you don't want to wage wars of aggression against other countries, and now is probably the best chance to do so. ”

The little Lori in black clapped her hands and said:

"After the continental hegemony system is upgraded, we must find a suitable place to develop, and it is not enough to rely only on the barren territory in the southern region, and it must also be restricted by the kingdom; But the New World is different, and we can quietly occupy an area without the Imperials noticing, and then find a way to emigrate and transform. ”

"The idea is right, but you can't do it directly, otherwise you'll tear your face with Harlem."

Xia shook his head and said:

"No country will make concessions on the territorial issue, not to mention that we do not have the capital to bargain with the other side now, and this matter must be considered in the long run."

"Stephanie, keep an eye on Elio."

She put down her hand wrapped around her hair and gave an order to the little Lori in black:

"If there is any accident or any serious information, be sure to tell me as soon as possible."

With that, she turned around and closed the hatch and flew as fast as she could.

……

"Your Highness Princess, where have you been? I couldn't find you anywhere just now. ”

Sweating profusely, Merlin came to Xia's door and was relieved to see that she was safe and sound.

"There's something to do, is something going on?"

Natsu didn't open the door and asked through the crack in the door.

"Ebner has told that spy everything he knows, and has learned important news."

She didn't open the door, so Merlin naturally didn't dare to go in, and stood outside the door to report to her the information she had just obtained:

"Sadara has sent a large fleet to the east coast in conjunction with the Divine Grace Nation, and it is all combat ships, and it should have sailed near the coastline so far, but we have not observed any trace of those ships yet." (To be continued......)
