"I have to warn you that this place is not a good place to build a territory. The adjutant said to Xu Yue with a stern expression.

Xu Yue shrugged his shoulders with a smile and said, "I know." County Walker, also known as the Dark Zone, is located on the border of the kingdoms of Sia, Gruni and Arka. At the same time, it also has its back against the Nightsong Forest. ”

The adjutant frowned and said, "Since you know something about Walkershire, you should also know about the ...... there."

"Are there robbers, thieves, murderers, and all sorts of other outlaws?" Xu Yue continued.

Seeing that Xu Yue looked very clear, the adjutant gave up his plan to persuade him, but in the end he still said helplessly: "It seems that you have made up your mind, but I still have to remind you in the end, it is really not a good place to establish a territory." In fact, it was not that no one had ever fought the idea there before, but in the end, after investing a lot of manpower and material resources, they all failed. ”

"Thank you for the advice, I'll be thinking about it. In fact, even after the reclamation order is filed, I will not be able to start occupying it in a short period of time, so I only have an intention for now. If it is really too difficult in the future, I will apply to change the location of the reclamation order to another place. Xu Yue said with some gratitude.

"Okay, I hope you understand what you're doing?" said the adjutant with some helplessness. How could he not see that the other party had actually made up his mind in his heart, and estimated that the possibility of changing his decision in the end was very small.

After Lisuo took out some essays for Xu Yue to sign, the adjutant left with them. There is a very complicated process for the application and conferment of the title, and now it is only to make such an application to the high-level of the empire, and it will take a while to wait for the title to be officially given to Xu Yue. But fortunately, in this matter, Ralph has actually kept up with the upper echelons. The result has been decided, Xu Yue's title is already in hand, all he needs to do is wait for a while.

Seeing the figure of the adjutant leaving, Xu Yue stood in front of the map and pondered again. In fact, he clearly knew that what the adjutant had just said was not too much, and Walker County was really not a suitable place to establish a territory.

Based on what he had learned before. Walker originally belonged to the Kingdom of Gruni, but about a hundred years ago, the first monarch of the Kingdom of Chia, as a lord of the Kingdom of Gruni, united some cities that were dissatisfied with the upper echelons of the Kingdom of Gruni to break away from the Kingdom of Gruni.

For this act of cutting flesh from oneself, although it was already rotten internally at that time. But as the oldest kingdom with a rich family background, of course the Gruni Kingdom will not agree. So the two sides broke out into a war that lasted for more than ten years. The final result was that Theodore, the first monarch of the Kingdom of Chia, led a coalition of several cities to achieve the final victory.

The Kingdom of Gruni was forced to give up nearly a third of its territory, which was officially the territory of the Kingdom of Chia in the early days of its existence. The two countries have been mortal enemies ever since.

However, after more than ten years of war, the attrition of both sides in all aspects has reached the limit, and no one is able to start a war again. Therefore, in the more than 100 years since the founding of the Kingdom of Chia, although the two sides have continued to fight small battles, there has not been a single major war.

The Kingdom of Gruni is an old kingdom...... The country pursues a system of aristocratic supremacy, and the lords in the territory of the nobility are the legitimate property of the lord, and everything belongs to the nobles as lords. It is difficult, if not impossible, for civilians to attain higher status.

The rigid and rigid system not only made the nobles in the Kingdom of Gruni corrupt and degenerate, but the people at the bottom were oppressed by poverty and misery. This makes the national strength of the Gruni Kingdom deteriorate, but as the longest-standing old kingdom among the seven kingdoms of mankind, the Gruni Kingdom still has a very deep heritage, although it is now in a state of relying on the old capital. But it will not fall into the situation of destroying the country for a while.

And Walker County was the last place where the Kingdom of Sia and the Kingdom of Gruni fought, and both sides invested almost two million troops in this projectile land. The tragic war destroyed almost all of Walker County at that time. After the two sides finally agreed to stop, the place had become a ruin strewn with corpses.

Because the cost of reconstruction was too great, neither the Kingdom of Xia nor the Kingdom of Gruni, which had been consumed to the limit at that time, accepted it again. Instead, it is used as a buffer zone between the two countries. Later, it became a colony for criminals and robbers.

Because it is geographically connected to three countries and borders the Nightsong Forest, it has a very convenient trade status by nature. When the Kingdom of Sia and the Kingdom of Gruni wanted to take back their economic importance here, they were afraid of their old rivals and did not dare to send large armies, which would easily lead to war. The Kingdom of Gruni did not want to fight because of the decline in national strength, and the Kingdom of Xia was unwilling to fight because of the need to show its national strength.

Small units of troops have been sent a few times. But on the one hand, hostile countries will secretly obstruct it, and the main thing is that the robbers, thieves and bandits and all kinds of criminals who have gathered in Walker County are not vegetarians. If you send more people, they will hide in the Nightsong Forest, and if you send fewer people, they will simply be wiped out.

These fellows don't fight with the same dignity as the regular army, and with their familiarity with Walker County and all sorts of vile and obscene means, the small units that were sent to them did not die in their sleep. It was constantly attacked by various local forces, and finally the number of people decreased little by little, until it was completely cannibalized.

Not only the Kingdom of Sia and the Kingdom of Gruni have sent small forces to try to recover Walkershire, but in the end, they have to give up after making a fuss. There were more than a dozen pioneers who wanted to use it as their own territory, and in the end they even took their lives.

In this case, no one dares to fight the idea of Walker County, and those local criminals and various dark forces in Walker County are even out of Walkershire's territory, and outsiders get out of the slogan. It's been almost a decade since anyone dared to make it their own goal.

Xu Yue once had a more detailed understanding of the situation there because of Aiwo's introduction, and Aiwo had also been there when he ran the single gang before, and even almost took his life away by the local robbers and bandits several times.

If it was possible, in fact, Xu Yue didn't want to choose it as the target of his territory. But since he wants to conquer a territory of his own, and after a year of occupation, he will be protected by the Kingdom of Chia. Then it is necessary to choose a place that borders the kingdom of Chia.

But for the past hundred years, the upper echelons of the kingdom of Shia have worked hard. While vigorously expanding production, it also encouraged the upper and lower classes of the kingdom to occupy and reclaim the wasteland, which made the territory of the Kingdom of Hia expand by half in just a hundred years, but at the same time, it also meant that the land that was easy to occupy and be cleared had already been divided by a huge number of predecessors.

The remaining places that can be occupied and reclaimed are all rampant with some magical beasts. The location is remote and barren to the extreme. There are even some places that want to clear out the many demonic beasts entrenched there, even if the Kingdom of Xia sends an army, they can't do it.

And for Xu Yue, he didn't have much time to waste on building the territory. Clearing and occupying a wasteland, establishing and perfecting one's own domain on a barren land, often requires generations of efforts from a fairly wealthy aristocratic family. If there was that American time, Xu Yue might as well work hard to improve his magic level. When he reaches the level of seven or even higher, any country will be happy to recruit him with a real title with a good territorial position.

Walker County was devastated by the war a hundred years ago, and has become a gathering place for criminals. However, its superior geographical location determines that it is the best meeting place for the circulation of materials among the three kingdoms of mankind. The darkness also has its own rules, and under the balance between the local dark forces, the rules there are not impossible to survive.

As a result, various smugglers regarded this place as a paradise for smuggling, so after a hundred years of operation by various local forces. The facilities here are already very well developed. Although it can't be compared with those cities, the pattern is also a bit chaotic. But if it's a territory, as long as you invest a certain amount of money in planning, then it can be a good camp.

Relying on the superior geographical location here, the territory can quickly prosper if you do business. In particular, among the three countries connected here is the kingdom of Arka.

The Kingdom of Arka is known as the Kingdom of Commerce, it is a United Kingdom composed of dozens of large and small cities that have been integrated into the country, and the headquarters of the Pan-Da 6 Goblin Chamber of Commerce Consortium, the largest business organization of the goblins, is located in the main city of this country.

Because the country has a strong commercial atmosphere. There are many industries, and people of any race are not excluded from joining here, so the folk customs are very open. Walker County has a great geographical location, and it is difficult to rely on a commercial kingdom like Alka.

After weighing the pros and cons in his heart, Xu Yue already had a preliminary idea in his heart. However, whether or not to implement it, and how to implement it, will not be decided until he and Ivo meet. After all, the biggest business he could do was the business of pure containers, and as his only partner, Aiwo's opinion was very important.

After turning around and leaving the command post. Xu Yue didn't go back to the hotel he had set up in Black Rock City, but found a hut that Ai Wo had prepared for him in advance as a stronghold to change his clothes, and then his appearance changed drastically, and he quietly came to the camp of the escort team.

Before leaving, Ivo had secretly instructed some of the people in the escort team, and although they didn't fully know Xu Yue's identity, they knew that he was a guest of the boss who was allowed to enter the camp at will.

Xu Yue found Ellie in a tent who was trying to learn about magic. I watched as Ellie carefully flipped through a book that introduced basic Carthic language. Xu Yue nodded with satisfaction. Speaking of which, it was just a casual move on his part to promise to teach Ellie magic, but he didn't expect Ellie not only to have this talent, but also to have this perseverance. The seriousness with which he studied magic was even better than that of his teacher, which also made him feel a little ashamed.

In fact, with Ellie's qualifications, even some level 6 or even level 7 mages are happy to accept a magical apprentice like her with a relatively good talent. However, after Xu Yue and Ellie said that they wanted to send her to study at a famous magic academy, or find her a new senior magician as a teacher, she was strongly opposed by the little girl. The little girl even tugged at the corner of his clothes with tears in her eyes and didn't say a word, just staring at him like that until she gave up the idea.

However, for Ellie, Xu Yue still felt very guilty. I was busy until I ran. Either leave Ellie alone in the inn, or give it to Ivor to take with her. And he only taught Ellie the basic meditation method and some zero-level magic during this time, which is the Carthusian script that magicians must learn, and he only gave Ellie the most basic spelling method, most of which he learned by reading books by Ellie. He was a little worried that he would delay Ellie if he continued like this.

The thought that he was about to go out again because of Ralph's mission made him feel a little headache. After thinking about it. He decided that he had to find a temporary teacher for Ellie, otherwise it would be a waste of time and inefficiency for Ellie to study alone, and it would be a waste of the little girl's talent.

In this regard, he already has a candidate in mind. Although that guy seems to be a very unreliable type, after working with the other party a few times. He still labeled the other party as trustworthy.

After temporarily letting go of the thoughts in her heart, Xu Yue quietly walked to Ellie's side. The little girl was very alert, and when she heard the sound of someone walking in behind her, she immediately turned her head quickly. However, after seeing Xu Yue's appearance, a happy expression suddenly appeared on his face.

"Teacher!" Ellie excitedly threw herself into Xu Yue's arms. Originally, Ellie was originally called his uncle, but after he corrected it repeatedly, he changed his name to brother. Later, because she wanted to take the little girl to the Magic Guild, she asked the little girl to call him teacher, and after getting acquainted with some mages in the Magic Guild and understanding the relationship between magic apprentices and mages who teach magic, the little girl has always insisted on calling him teacher.

Xu Yue smiled and hugged the little girl, walked to the chair to the side and sat down, and said, "Ellie, is she good here alone?

"Ellie's good! Everybody here loves Ellie. Sister Lisa, Brother Bobby, Uncle Blue, and many others are very nice to Ellie. I just can't see the teacher, and I feel a little missful for the teacher. Teacher, will you leave when you come back this time?" said Ellie seriously as she sat on Xu Yue's lap.

After gently hanging Ellie's little nose. Xu Yue said with a smile: "The teacher still has a lot to do, so I came back this time just to see Ellie first." I'm going to be out for a while while this time, but I won't be leaving Ellie alone next time I come back. ”

Hearing that Xu Yue was leaving, Ellie's expression was obviously a little disappointed. But after hearing Xu Yue say that she would not be left behind after coming back next time, the little girl finally had a smile on her face again.

The little girl stretched out her little thumb very seriously and said to Xu Yue: "Then it's decided, when the teacher comes back, she won't leave Ellie alone." You have to pull the hook, and you can't go back!"

Xu Yue laughed after hearing this, he handed over the matter of the hook to the little girl, but he didn't expect the little girl to remember it. He stretched out his little thumb and hooked the little girl's little thumb and said, "Okay!

After spending a day with Ellie. Xu Yue seized the time to give Ellie a lot of Carthic reading and writing, and the little girl completed the most practical zero-level magic of 'fast reading' under his care and guidance. In the subsequent learning process, the progress will become very fast.

The next day, Xu Yue found Julils, who was hanging out in the Magic Guild, and after telling him that he wanted to ask him to teach Ellie Carts and magic during the time he was away, Julils simply agreed. This middle-aged mage who looks like a bad uncle seems to like children very much. After seeing Ellie, he became completely different from usual, and became gentle and serious, but he didn't let the little girl have a bad impression of him.

Xu Yue didn't wait for Ivor to return to Black Rock City, and the day after he settled Ellie, Ralph informed him that the team that had gone to investigate the altar was leaving. After leaving a note for Ivo in the camp and briefly describing his situation, he hurried out.

When he arrived at the conference room of the command post, he saw an old man in a scholar's robe talking happily with Ralph, and Captain Brandt, who had been on a mission with him before, was standing behind Ralph.

"Hello Lord Ralph, I hope I'm not late!" Xu Yue said after knocking on the door and entering, bending down and bowing slightly.

"Oh! No, of course you weren't late! Actually, you came faster than I thought. After Ralph finished with a smile, he continued: "Let me introduce you to you, this is an Arix scholar, he is a master in the linguistics of Black Rock City, and he is already a third-level scholar. This time, he was in charge of interpreting the Aleka text on the altar. ”

"Hello, Arix Scholar, may the light of wisdom shine on you!" Xu Yue greeted very politely.

Ralph pointed at Xu Yue and said to Alex, "This is Master Xu Yue, I think you can also tell that he is from Chatterner." Master Xu Yue is a second-level mage, but he has made unimaginably great contributions in this battle. It can be said that in the victory of this war, Master Xu Yue's contribution was the greatest. ”

The Aris scholar smiled and returned the salute to Xu Yue and said with a smile, "Hello, Master Xu Yue. Nice to meet you. The people of Chaltner have always been able to do miracles, and Ralph has told me about the things you have done. ”

Xu Yue smiled and said, "It's just a little reckless impulse plus some luck." In fact, if it weren't for luck, I wouldn't have been able to do what I had done before. ”

"Oh, I believe that other combat classes may be reckless, but I don't believe that a mage can be reckless. And even if you're lucky, you can't do as well as you do. The Arix scholar looked at him and smiled.

"Alright, let's not hold each other back, or we'll have to talk about it until it's dark." Let's talk about this mission. The upper echelons of the kingdom have been urged several times, and they can't decide what to do next against the trolls without figuring out what the damn trolls are up to!" Ralph said after interrupting the conversation with a smile.

"I'm sorry! It's just a way for people who like knowledge. Ralph, if there's anything you can just say, you'll be fine. Alex said with a smile.

Ralph nodded, and said with a straight face, "Although those trolls have been defeated, it is still unknown whether they will come back, whether they will leave those altars or not. So this operation will be protected by Captain Brandt, with about 500 soldiers, and you will need to get the message back as soon as you have finished reading the text on the altar and understanding the role of the altar itself. The sooner the better. ”

The Arix scholar nodded and said, "There is no problem with that. Although the text on the altar is very ancient, it should only take two days to decipher. But if you want to deduce the function of the altar with those magic patterns, the time is uncertain, but I'll do my best. ”

After seeing Ralph looking at him, Xu Yue also shrugged his shoulders and said, "I will fully cooperate with the Alex scholars, although I don't know anything about Aleka writing." ”

After getting the affirmative answer from the two, Ralph did not ramble any more, but simply asked Captain Brandt to escort the two on the road with the team. The 500 soldiers who were the protection team were all the elite who survived this war, and the fierce iron-blooded momentum of each of them who had experienced the baptism of the battlefield made passers-by look sideways.

Xu Yue and Alex sat in the same beast cart, and the team of followers slowly walked towards the outside of the city. Xu Yue asked with some curiosity, "Scholar Alex, I think you must have seen the previous image of that altar. Although the text shown in the video is not complete, I wonder if you can roughly deduce the purpose of the altar. ”

Alex hesitated for a moment after hearing his words, and after thinking about it, he said cautiously: "There is too little information, and it is difficult to make a judgment." However, based on some of the words and patterns in the video, it can be inferred that this altar is probably using blood sacrifice to condense a huge breath of life. Generally speaking, this breath of life is used to summon or resurrect some powerful beings!"

Xu Yue's brows jumped after hearing his words, how powerful is it, only to need trolls to capture 200,000 humans as sacrifices to summon or resurrect. Looking at the gates of Black Rock City, which were gradually moving away in the distance, a feeling of uneasiness suddenly rose in his heart, as if he felt that this time it didn't seem to be a very difficult mission, and it might not be smooth sailing, as if there was a great danger waiting for him.
