Li Yu looked up at the lady opposite.

"You were there that day, and if you broke your oath and were made public, you would be ruined."

"I understand, I saw what happened to Antonio." Alyssa looked serious, "But that's why I was able to make that kid trust me again." ”

Li Yu was noncommittal, and just asked, "Who made Torres change his mind?" ”

"I can't say." Alyssa shook her head.

"Then I can't help you keep an oath for you."

"I can pay you."

"I'm not short of money."

"What about women? I can help you find a maid who is prettier than Clara. ”

"I approached Fausto to buy Clara, not because she was good-looking." Li Yu shook his head.

"So what do you want? Tell me, no matter how precious it is, I can find it for you! ”

"You can't find what I want."

"How do you know if you don't try," Alyssa leaned forward and lowered her voice a bit, "I've heard rumors lately that you've asked Ilea for the right to establish a Order in Greenfield. ”

"And then?"

"If you're willing to help me, you'll gain an ally, and I'll be on your side whenever you need it in the future." Lady humane.

Li Yu didn't speak, as if he was thinking about Alyssa's proposal, and only said after a while.

"Is it an exchange of interests?"

"That's right, this is a common method among nobles, without any psychological obstacles, neither you nor I betrayed that child, our starting point is for her good, depending on your words and deeds, you must also be a nobleman in your hometown, you must be able to understand."

"I'm not a nobleman," Li Yu said, "I refuse your offer to cooperate, and I will get permission to form the Order, in my own way." ”

"Don't you think about it anymore?"

"No, I was thinking about something else, you shouldn't have come to me today."

"I don't think so, and even if you don't want to help me, I don't see you as an enemy." Although Alyssa was a little disappointed, she still said politely, "Anyway, thank you for talking to me for so long. ”

After speaking, the noble lady stood up, no longer entangled, and left Li Yu's room like this.

And Li Yu then cleaned up a little, and also went down the narrow spiral staircase to the first floor of the castle, and said to the little maid and the four children waiting by the door, "Have you brought all the tools, let's go." ”

What is the most important thing in the early stages of developing a strategy game?

The answer is - explore the map and find out the resource points around the birthplace.

Soon after Li Yu arrived in Lvye, he asked Fausto for a map of Lvye.

Maps are also a rarity on the continent of Brattis, especially those that are elaborately drawn and often of great military importance.

The lords of various places would try to avoid such maps falling into the hands of outsiders, and if it weren't for Ilea's unusual trust in Li Yu, it would have been very difficult for Li Yu as a stranger to see the maps treasured by the Arias family.

And getting the map is only the first step, and trying to understand the map is also a technical job.

Unlike the modern maps that Li Yu is familiar with on weekdays, most of the maps on the Blatis continent use the orientation rules of east and west, left north and right south, which looks awkward.

However, the solution to this problem is very simple, just rotate the map 90° counterclockwise.

The most striking part of this map is undoubtedly the statue of Picia, the goddess of the silver moon at the top, flying in the night sky, overlooking the earth beneath his feet, and the four corners are also painted with different moon phase changes, but Li Yu only glanced at this part and stopped paying attention.

He focused his attention on the territory below, to Li Yu's surprise, the territory of the Arias family was quite large, according to Fausto, if calculated in terms of territory alone, the Arias family could probably rank third among all the nobles in the western realm.

But Li Yu soon discovered the problem, the Arias family's territory was shaped like the carrots they had been growing, top-heavy, and unusually long, which also meant that they had a lot of neighbors around them.

Anyone who has ever rented a room will know what an amazing creature a roommate is, and the upper and lower limits are outrageous.

And even if you are lucky to meet the kind of person who gets along very well, after a long time, it is inevitable that there will be friction, not to mention sharing a house with six or seven people at the same time, and there must be a lot of troubles to deal with.

And once a war breaks out in the future, the defensive pressure that the Arias family will face will also be extremely staggering.

In addition to this, Li Yu also noticed that the large head part located in the westernmost part was painted green, occupying almost a third of the territory, and the monster with a lizard-headed human body was painted on it, and the danger was also marked with a red boy.

"What is this place?"

"The Everglades," replied the old steward, "a green land of death, from which the Green Fields are named, inhabited by all sorts of poisonous insects and monsters, as well as savage lizardmen and the evil gods they worship, who run out of their damp and rotting burrows and plunders the nearby villages when the crops are about to be harvested.

"The lords of House Arias have been struggling with these bandits, and even if you can kill all the lizardmen this year, they will still show up tomorrow, looting the crops in the fields, taking the women captive, and killing all the villagers they come across along the way, just like rats, they can't be wiped out.

"There were people who couldn't bear the harassment of these bandits, and in spite of the edicts of the Silvermoon Church and the prohibitions left by their ancestors, they led their troops into the Gegu Swamp to cut down those bastards, but most of them suffered heavy losses and had to flee back in embarrassment."

"And what about a small group of people?" Li Yu asked.

"Forever in the greenfield and a part of it." The old man's simple words contained a lot of blood and death, as well as the unwillingness of the successive rulers of the Arias family.

"In short, the Gegu Swamp is very dangerous, and outsiders can be swallowed up by it if they are not careful, so I strongly advise you and your little assistants not to go near it, once you get lost inside, even if Miss Elia gathers all the soldiers and horses in the territory, she will not be able to rescue you."

"I see." Li Yu nodded, "At this stage, I only plan to conduct some basic exploration and investigation near the castle, and I won't leave too far." ”

"That would be better."

"By the way, can I make a copy of this map?"

"It's better not to." Fausto politely declined.

"Okay, I'll take a look at it then." Li Yu didn't argue with the old manager, and looked down at the map in his hand again.
