3-080 Explorers and Legions
Ollie was checking the newly delivered map at the makeshift command post.
The original map, the one now attached to the wall, barely gives a glimpse of the surrounding terrain, but this map is so rudimentary that it's miserable. In addition to the color blocks, there are also color blocks, and these color blocks represent different topography. For example, light yellow represents sandy beaches, light blue represents water, dark green represents forests, light green represents meadows, earthy yellow represents hills or mountains, and so on. It's almost like a child's graffiti.
But can you expect a little witch or hawk knight with no professional mapping training to draw the terrain in its entirety?
The map he was looking at was a new version of the map that had been drawn up by some recent expedition team, and while it was still rudimentary in Ollie's eyes, it was at least much more detailed than the original color-blocked map.
Surprisingly, Edka is not only extremely talented in assassination, but also seems to be very good at mapping. Not only is it beautifully drawn compared to the other teams, but several dangerous and threatening areas in the vicinity are highlighted, and a general description is also indicated. In particular, the information on these threatening areas can be explained by Ollie and Chirnith as to whether it is necessary to completely eradicate these areas before they break out.
As a result, he gets paid at least 50% more than others. This kind of reward made the other teams of the drawing team envious and began to follow suit. More and more people who can stealth (including animal trainers who have just acquired the ability to stealth lizards) are learning drawing or shorthand skills.
The map gradually expands and becomes clearer in the continuous exploration of these open-eyed explorers. Although in the eyes of others, such a map is already perfect. But in Ollie's mind, he always felt that such a map seemed to be missing something.
Ollie was in the process of compiling all the maps of the area that had been drawn so far into a complete map, when suddenly the door opened, and Chirnith swaggered in from outside. He was followed by Sif .
The injuries on his body were almost all healed, and even Achea thought that he would have to lie down for a while to fully recover, but he didn't expect that he would be alive and kicking in just a few days, and his vitality was comparable to Xiao Qiang.
Seeing Ollie who was burying his head in sorting out the map, he was not polite, he directly pulled a chair and sat opposite Ollie. He took off his shoes and rested his feet on Ollie's desk. By the way, he also greeted the maid beside Ollie.
"Two tiramisu sets. β
The so-called tiramisu set consists of tiramisu, mocha and crème brûlée. These are all new dishes developed by Orly yesterday, and they have a great taste. Chirnith ate a small piece and fell in love with the taste.
The maid then agreed, and went down to prepare.
Only Ollie, Chiernis, and Sif were left in the hall.
"You're probably not here just to eat tiramisu. Ollie asked, without looking up. "By the way, put your feet down first, and I can't stand the smell when I put on my shoes. β
"I wanted to come to Acea and ask if there's a potion to get rid of the smell. "Chirness looks serious, where is nonsense.
"No kidding. Ollie replied in a serious manner. "Don't bother my sister with this potion. β
"Okay, get down to business. Chirness put away her hippie smile. "Actually, I have a bold idea......"
Hearing this, Ollie had an inexplicable urge in his heart, grabbed the cup on the side and was about to throw it over.
"Don't do it, if you have something to say, you put the cup down first. If you have something to say, it's good to say. Seeing that the situation was not good, Chirneth immediately changed his tone.
"Say, what bold ideas do you have. Ollie finally suppressed his impulse, put down his cup, and then brought himself a cup of coffee.
"Actually. If you look at a large area around it, it's very inefficient to rely on these explorers to spread out and explore. β
"Getting to the point. β
"Okay, I'm thinking about recruiting these people to form a legion and deploy them together. In this way, even if it is managed, it can enhance combat cooperation. In short, it is also easier to develop. β
"Good idea. Ollie affirmed his thoughts, how could he not know that Chiernis had a plan in mind, and on the one hand, there were the benefits he had to say, and on the other hand, the equipment needed to form a legion required a lot. And the best of these equipment will definitely end up in the Duke's private army that Duke's Ridge has come to support.
"Huh. Ollie squinted at Chiernis with his teacup.
Chirnith looked at Ollie's eyes, and his heart was empty. He felt that his mind had been seen through.
"Even the name of the legion has been decided. He quickly changed the subject, "It's called the Flame Legion." β
Ollie's eyes changed as he looked at him: "Another one, it's too ordinary." β
"Well, well, if you don't like it, then call it the Burning Legion. β
"Poof. Ollie couldn't hold back any longer, and the coffee that had just been in his mouth squirted out.
"It's time for you to change your name, Kil'Gardan. Ollie wiped his mouth and spat casually. In fact, he didn't understand why he had such a big reaction when he heard the name of this legion.
Obviously not knowing the meaning of the name, Chirness looked at Ollie blankly, just about to say something.
"Wouldn't it be better to call the Legion of Light. β
"I thought about it, but the largest national knight order of the Holy Empire is already called the Holy Light Legion. Chirness explained helplessly.
Ollie held his glass and continued to listen to what he was talking about.
"That legion commander Troaon is a legendary-level powerhouse. β
When Ollie heard the Legion's leader's name, his hand holding the cup shook visibly. Then he continued to drink tea as if nothing had happened.
However, after a while, the coffee that had been drunk in my mouth spurted out again.
At this moment, there was a loud bang in the distance, and then the whole ground trembled for more than a minute.
Chirnith didn't even bother to put on his shoes, so he followed Ollie and Sif out of the tent. Everyone in the camp was looking around in horror. Not sure what happened.
"Is it an earthquake?" someone said. Many struggles are futile under the forces of nature, such as the tsunami during the animal tide......
Ollie wasn't sure if it was an earthquake, but he quickly dismissed his opinion.
"Look, over there at the altar. Chirnith pointed in the direction of the altar.
Everyone present looked in the direction of his finger, and several huge trees suddenly appeared when they came out of the altar. And these giant trees are still growing.
"I saw the boss there earlier. So said one adventurer.
"Maybe he made it. Another adventurer guessed.
"Let's go over and see, maybe there's something good to be gained. "A speculator was born.
Speculators are like rotten apples, as long as there is one, there will be many in the circle very quickly.
It didn't take Ollie and Chirness to reach the altar with the group of opportunists in less than a minute. By this time, the six trees had stopped growing.
When Achea saw Ollie and them coming, she immediately climbed up to the altar, opened her arms to them, and said like a little club.
"Welcome to the Shadow Trial. β
