"But, I wondered, why do I have to go to the territory of the elves? Sivania has an outlet to the sea, and a seaport, though not very large...... There's also a lot of coast on Ryan's side. ”

"Host, probably you don't have common sense in this area, and it's no wonder that all this time, you haven't touched the sea. Carrie seemed to be laughing a little. "Let's put it this way, with the ability of human navigation, it is impossible to cross the ocean at all! Both humans and dwarves have the skill to build ships, but they are only ships in the near sea. Those who have the ability to cross the ocean are the only elves. ”

"Ah...... But ......"

"Yes, master, in fact, I can give you the skills of sailing directly, but with the strength of one person, even you will not be able to steer a ship well! Because it is impossible for a small boat to cross the ocean, to meet the requirements of wind and waves, at least medium-sized vessels, the kind that require a crew of more than ten people, are needed. Considering the requirements of shipbuilding skills, navigation skills, etc., I think it is more appropriate to go to the port of the elves and find a way to rent or buy a ship of the elves, plus a group of crews. ”

"I see!" Ashrufat had to admit his mistake. "Then do as you say, let's go!"

"Wait, master, you're too impulsive to do this. We have to arrange everything after you leave, and it will take about two days. ”

"Oh...... What else?"

"Master, it seems that you have forgotten that you are also the supreme ruler of Sivania. What will happen if you just leave quietly? What will happen to your men? At best, it will cause a wave of chaos, or at worst, the Ryan may take advantage of the opportunity to attack, and the victory you have won so hard will be meaningless. Also, what about Leia and Scarlet? You're too impulsive! Actually, impulsiveness is not a bad thing, impulsiveness itself also represents action, but your tendon type of impulse is a bit out of place. ”

It must be said that Carrie occupied the high ground this time, leaving Ashrufat speechless.

"So, as the saying goes, 'The king can't leave the palace at will,' that's what it means. If you leave, it means that it is easy to become a leaderless group. Especially in your case, in the sense that you don't have the qualifications to leave Sivania at all!"

"What qualifications do you need?"

"Because although you have temporarily ruled this land, it is based on the great military power and strength of the army. If you lose militarily, it means that your rule will fall apart in an instant! If it is known that you are gone and will not return for a long time, it will have very serious consequences. ”

Ashruphat nodded, and although he felt a bitterness in his mouth, he had to admit that Carrie was right. Everyone was afraid of his strength, not anything else.

"But, fortunately, master, you have my help! Master, turn around and don't be surprised!" Carrie's tone suddenly changed, and she grinned.

Ashruphat turned. Carrie had already reminded him, but he couldn't help but shake all over.

In front of him, there stood another Ashrufat. It's not a mirror, because the clothes are completely different. Ashrufat was wearing a linen tunic at the moment, and this man who looked exactly like him was wearing the ornate gown of the nobility.

"It's ......," Carrie had reminded, otherwise Ashrufar would have instinctively shown his weapon. It's just so weird. In front of him, there was an existence that looked exactly like him - it was not a human who looked like him, because the corners of the other's mouth were slightly baring fangs, indicating his identity as a vampire.

"This is the embodiment I have for you!" said Carrie with some smugness in her mind. "Isn't it alike?"

"No need to be polite. The avatar said in a voice that was very familiar to Ashrufat. "Sit down. He reached out and made a "please be seated" gesture.

However, there were no chairs around. Ashrufat subconsciously understood that this "avatar" was not a stand-in in the usual sense, but something completely different. The body of this "incarnation" does not feel the breath of life.

"What the hell is this?" Ashruphat watched the other man's every move carefully. Every action is familiar, every detail is indistinguishable from himself, this is simply himself!

"Master, I said this is your incarnation......"

"What the hell is this!" Ashruphat asked sharply.

"Well, master, this is actually the magic map. Carrie replied helplessly.

"Magic Figure?" Ashruphat looked at the other man carefully...... Indeed, this was also the feeling on Motu at the beginning, this feeling that was different from ordinary creatures, lacking the breath of life. "What kind of magic map becomes for you...... What do I look like?"

"That's one of its abilities. Well, while you're here with Mimilu, I'm busy with all the odds. I connected the portal between the base and our castle, so I brought back all the useful things there, including the Magic Map. ”

Eshurufat stared at the Magic Atlas carefully, and the latter was clearly under Carrie's control, standing still, smiling, and staring straight ahead—almost like a statue.

"Actually, master, I expected you to leave Sivania. That's the same in my original idea. Sivania can be your base, your area of control, your safe haven, but you shouldn't be stuck in West Vania. You should have the freedom to leave here whenever you want and go on urgent business. In my original plan, you should have an agent, and I initially thought Leia would be a good fit. Leia plus Scarlet, on the one hand, can be your lover, and on the other hand, you can be your spokesperson. But now it seems that there may be a better option. ”

"You mean the magic map?"

"That's right, that's it! The magic map can be used as your avatar, and when it is designed, it has the ability to be a 'stand-in', so it can easily impersonate you. Moreover, the Magic Map has a powerful combat power that can replace you in any highly dangerous mission. You can imagine," Carrie described. "After we leave, the usual engineering construction, urban development and other odd things can be ordered by my doppelganger to your subordinates; if there is an emergency, it can be handled by Leia and Scarlet; if there is a large-scale accident, for example, if a subordinate must come to see you, you can be brought forward by Motu. In a word, although you have left Sivania, no one will know about your departure. Isn't that wonderful, you say?"

Ashrufat suddenly realized that Carrie seemed to have arranged this matter a long time ago. It seems that in Carrie's plan, after seizing Sivania, he should have left Sivania to do something else. Of course, Mimilu's incident is beyond Carrie's expectations.

He didn't quite understand why Carrie was doing this, but he unconsciously recalled what Yilan had said.

“...... It is always manipulating you with clever excuses and lies, guiding you like a puppet to the path it needs...... You have never been its master, but only the object of its use!"

No! Ashruphat drove the thought out of his mind. Now is not the time to think about these chores, saving Mimilu is the number one priority right now. The first thing you have to do is get to the ancient portal and get your hands on the chip...... The rest or something, there will be time to think about it slowly in the future.

"Are you sure it's okay?" Ashrufat asked Carrie in his mind.

"I'm pretty sure of that. Carrie replied. "I believe that with the level of your subordinates, it will be impossible to see through the magic plot. In fact, the magic map, like the castle, is my doppelganger, and maybe in some ways it is stronger than you, the master. The only problem is the energy - when inside the Dark Castle, the magic map can be powered by the energy system inside the castle, but if you have to leave the castle, you must bring the energy system with you. It's that little backpack...... However, because it was damaged in previous battles, it will not last more than a day. ”

"I see. Ashrufat replied. "Anyway, don't leave the castle as much as possible, right?"

"That's true. Carrie replied. "Don't worry, master, we've only been gone for about a year, and during this time, there won't be any strength to challenge you. And if there is a situation that cannot be controlled, you can also use the anchor point to teleport back at any time. ”

Ashrufat did not answer.

"Anyway, master, now you can take your avatar to meet Leia and Scarlet. Carrie suggested. "The two of them will take on very important work after you leave. And they're all already your wives and can be trusted. Then you have to do a couple of things personally, first check in person how the road works are going, especially Eric, you have to talk to him. I suggest that you have him come forward and organize a quick force to rid Sivania of the spies sent to Sivania by all sides. In addition, he should be able to assume the post of governor of the harbor, and the construction of the port will be completed soon. Second, prepare to meet the Ryan's secret messengers - Neil has returned with a letter, and the secret messengers have arrived in Sivania, and should be able to meet you tomorrow. At the end of the day, there are some troubles of the Bin. You have to give Damon a warning that he knows how to be a little measured, and not expand as he is now. ”

"So many things?"

"Oh, master, don't complain. I've taken care of everything else for you. There are only a few things that require you to be in person. If it weren't for me...... You need to have at least a staff of 30 people, and at least 100 or more capable middle-level officials to handle so many things. However, I want you to meet Léa and Scarlet first, I've already told them about Mimilu. ”

"And they seem to be understanding, and have no intention of dissuading you. Carrie added.
