In this way, Il and Lin lived in Nicholas's castle, and Il was finally able to understand that the resources that Nicholas possessed as an ancient nobleman at the level of a prince were definitely not comparable to some minor nobles, and even the territory area and population owned by Eren were only a rarity compared to Te Cente, which was not worth mentioning.

This is definitely an unexpected gain for Il, with these things, in the future development of Il, Ilr will change from passive acceptance to active attack!

In the past few days, Il and Lynn have traveled through Nicholas's territory under the guidance of a map, and he has to feel what a huge fortune he is about to inherit, including three large cities, a dozen towns, and countless villages, as well as hundreds of miles of mountains, forests, and a large area of sand and gravel bordering the endless desert behind the mountains, all of which are the areas that Il can use.

It's a problem about how to quietly develop technology and build factories without being discovered by the church, but it's not an unsolvable one, especially since Il's possession of such a vast and sparsely populated territory makes things much easier.

Il and Lynn traveled to the sandy and gravel area behind the mountains, far from human settlements, and undoubtedly the best place to build a factory, where Il planned to build an industrial park after some investigation.

The westernmost part of the sandy and gravel area is connected to the endless desert, where the wind blows non-stop all day long, and the scorching rays of the sun seem to dry every life that walks here.

"Il, are you sure this area is what you want it to be? there's nothing here except the rocks and the yellow sand, and the sun is about to scorch me, which is not good for the skin. ”

Lin complained while wiping her sweat, she had been spending a lot of time with Omina lately, and it seemed that she had talked a lot with Omina about the problems between women, and now she opened and closed her mouth to protect her skin, and she didn't know if it was a good thing or a bad thing.

Eir stood on a sand dune and looked into the distance, holding in his hand a simple wooden telescope that he had honed himself at night when he was fine, and although it was only simple, he could already see the scene beyond.

This single-hole telescope can only be used with one eye, and Il's left eye is closed and he only uses his right eye to look into the distance, and all that enters his eyes is a yellow world and the occasional gray-green dwarf wood. The reason why this place is called the sand and gravel area is because it has not completely turned into a handful of yellow sand, and there is still dry loess and very rare vegetation on the ground, so it has not yet been zoned into the endless desert.

At this time, a rare green band appeared in the telescope, and there seemed to be a sparkling water in the green encirclement.

"Lynn, come and see if there's a lake in that direction?"

Lynn heard Il's call and quickly ran over to take the telescope from Il's mouth, she was not used to using this thing, but under the influence of Il's ears and eyes, she had gradually developed a strong interest in the magical world of technology in his mouth.

"It seems like there's a lake, but even if there's a water source, there's no way to live there. ”

Yir smiled and shook his head, in the future, he must find an opportunity to write down all the knowledge in his head on paper and bind it into a book, and then distribute it on the mainland, this deserted sand and gravel area is considered useless in the eyes of others, but in his own eyes it is full of treasures.

As they walked towards the lake, they got closer and closer to the edge of the endless desert, where the sun was so fierce that the human eye could already see the shadow of the desert, and the air was all illusory under the scorching sun, and Lin put a spell on herself, and the wind that blew on her body was hot.

She now regrets that she shouldn't have gone out with Il, otherwise she would have been lying in bed leisurely eating pastries and drinking afternoon tea at this time.

Walking on the sand and gravel with one foot deep and one foot shallow, the distance as far as the eye could actually walk was actually very far, and just when Lynn's physical strength reached its limit, they finally reached the green area.

There is a desert lake surrounded by sand dunes formed by yellow gravel, and its center, shore, and surroundings are filled with plants from different habitats, creating a unique scenery that connects the pale blue water with the blue sky from a distance.

The area of this lake is not small, and then look to the west is already one sand dune after another, the outline is clear, the layers are distinct, the ridge line of the mound is smooth and smooth, the sandy slope on the windward side is like water, and the quicksand on the leeward side is like a pour, and what comes into view is already an endless desert.

Lin saw that there was a lake, ran to the lake and picked up the lake water to drink, the water in her kettle had just been drunk, and now her mouth was dry, if it weren't for the poison of the sun here, she would have taken off her clothes immediately and went to the lake to bathe now.

"Phew, this water is so salty!"

Ill was still looking at the size of the whole lake, and when he heard Lynn's cry and looked back, he found that Lynn was spitting over there, and he smiled helplessly, this is a common saline-alkali lake in the desert area, which contains a lot of salt, and it is also an excellent way to collect soda ash.

As an important chemical raw material, soda ash is inseparable from it if it wants to make alkali and acid in the future.

"Lynn, I have water here, and the water in this lake is very difficult to drink without treatment, very similar to seawater. ”

"Il, you have to talk about this kind ......of thing next time!

"Lynn, get out of that position!"

Before she could finish complaining, she suddenly screamed, Lynn looked at him strangely but suddenly felt that it was dark, she had a bad premonition, and slowly turned around, she saw a large worm that she had never seen before.

The big worm was as long as three people, and it quietly came out of the ground and appeared behind Lynn, its appearance was very terrifying, with seven or eight pairs of small claws with fluff, and there were spines along its back, and its whole body was like an earthworm that had swelled countless times, and its head only had two small black dot-like eyes looking at Lin intently.

Ilr threw down the telescope in his hand and pounced on her at the same time releasing a fireball spell, the worm wanted to quietly use its short claws to hug Lynn's body, but was frightened by Il's voice, and suddenly the whole body flipped to the right and rear, and quickly dived back into the ground.

Lynn was knocked to the ground by Il, and the fireball only hit the ground, and the worm was no longer visible between a few breaths, but her intuition told Il's that the worm had not gone far, and that the area around the lake should be its range.
