The drawings are the size of a table, and they are marked with mountains, rivers, seas, and the distribution of power. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

This picture was drawn by Dai Li in seven days, five or six days later than Jiang Xingchen expected, but its detail far exceeded expectations, making Jiang Xingchen feel like a treasure.

Two major powers are marked on this map, one of which is the Yasi Empire in the south and the city-state of Nuya to the north. In terms of size, the two forces are about the same, but the systems of the two sides are very different. The city-state of Nuya is an alliance of hundreds of independent cities, large and small, and the largest force is called Nuya, and the alliance was also promoted by Nuya more than 200 years ago.

Between the two forces is a sea called Dream. To the east of the two continents, there are countless islands in the ocean, and the forces among them are even more numerous, and piracy is also quite rampant.

With so many forces and terrain distribution, of course, it is impossible for Dai Li to draw them all, but the main forces and the scope of their jurisdiction, famous rivers and mountains are basically there. In terms of accuracy, it is definitely not accurate, but Jiang Xingchen does not require accuracy, he only needs to know that those forces are roughly in which directions.

Seeing Jiang Xingchen lying on the table like a treasure and watching carefully, Dai Li couldn't help but feel a little proud, tilting her chin slightly, her snow-white slender neck was like a swan, as if she was making Jiang Xingchen praise herself quickly.

Leo's mood at this time was also a lot lighter, he had been worried for the past seven days, for fear that the map would not satisfy Jiang Xingchen.

After looking at it for a while, Jiang Xingchen raised his head and said to Leo, "It seems that we can have a good talk, I wonder if you are interested in being my agent?"

"Huh?" Leo didn't understand at all, and looked at Jiang Xingchen with a confused expression.

Jiang Xingchen didn't say much, he put away the map with a smile, beckoned the father and daughter to sit down, and started a new round of communication.......

In the days that followed, Jiang Xingchen had to talk to Leo and Dai Li for a long time almost every day. They are also trying to understand each other's language and gestures.

The effect of learning from each other every day is remarkable, from the beginning of the picture communication, to most of the gestures, after three months, some simple topics they can already communicate in language, Dai Li has stronger comprehension skills, and can speak mainland dialect decently.

Through more than three months of exchanges, Jiang Xingchen also has a general understanding of the Western Continent. Nor can the two great powers coexist peacefully in any one place. In fact, the city-states of Nuya were united in the first place to fight against the Yasi Empire.

Although the city-states of Nuya were loosely organized, they even fought with each other, and small countries changed hands or changed dynasties from time to time. But as long as there is a large-scale conflict with the Yasi Empire, all the city-states will put aside their grievances against Yasi. Because they knew that once the city-state of Nuya failed, they would be devoured by the Yasi Empire. Therefore, in the years of fighting, Nuya did not fall behind.

But since five years ago, the strength of the West Asian Empire has suddenly grown by leaps and bounds, and it has developed rapidly in all aspects. Especially in terms of weapons, he invented cannons, grenades and other powerful killing weapons, which suddenly beat the city-state of Nuya to the point that it was impossible to raise its head.

Later, Yasi's ships also made great progress, and the great natural barrier of the sea was useless. Four years ago, Yasi landed in the city-state of Nuya and captured nearly half of the city in one go, and was powerless to fight against the city-state of Nuya.

Later, if it weren't for the decisive role of spies sent out in the early years, who stole the methods of making cannons and grenades, the city-state of Nuya would have been destroyed.

Even now, the city-state of Nuya is equipped with a large number of weapons such as cannons and grenades, but in the battle with the Yasi Empire, the city-state of Nuya is still at an absolute disadvantage.

Leo was originally a merchant of the Yasi Empire, but he discovered a hedron mine on an island overseas, and as soon as the news spread, the first of the empire would come to him and offer to cooperate in the development on the grounds of protection. Then it would be nice for this mine to leave some soup for itself.

That's why he was ready to leave the Yasi Empire and go to the city-state of Nuya, which was relatively free. Although you have to break the bank, it is impossible not to even drink the soup......

After more than three months of communication, Jiang Xingchen finally had a general understanding of the situation in the Western Continent. Judging from the description, the enemy should be the Yasi Kingdom, which can be seen from the rapid improvement of the opponent's technology five years ago, and it must be caused by the arrival of the An family's son.

After learning about the situation in the Western Continent, Jiang Xingchen proposed to let Leo be his agent, and his own side would give him all the help he could think of, including force and money. As for the matter of the colorful crystal vein, Jiang Xingchen didn't even mention it.

Leo didn't even think about it, so he nodded in agreement. Where to find such a good thing, with Jiang Xingchen's help, he believed that he would soon be able to gain a firm foothold in the city-state of Nuya. And what he did was just an agent, as long as he came out on his own, Jiang Xingchen would not let himself be in any danger......

In the past three months, Jiang Xingchen didn't just ask Leo, the pirate leader was named Mike, and he often went to communicate and inquire about the distribution of foreign sea forces and pirates. Also ask why you don't know the location behind the Sea of Death!

Mike told Jiang Xingchen that the origin of the name of the Sea of Death was due to the fact that so many ships and sailors were buried there. It is said that when there is no wind, there will be a sudden huge wave rolling, and the ships will be dragged to the bottom of the sea by invisible forces during normal navigation, and there will be inexplicable disappearances of ships.

So now even pirates don't go there, and it is said that it is a place where the devil lives.

After hearing this, Jiang Xingchen was full of curiosity, and wondered if he wanted to see the Sea of Death after calming Aura down......

These days, the pirates and sailors have also changed their faces, and at first they were pessimistic about their fate, but after a period of good food, drink, and treatment, they realized that perhaps it was not as bad as they thought.

As time went on, they discovered more and more magical places for this fleet. For example, being able to eat fresh vegetables every day and take a bath every day is almost unimaginable on a long voyage. The monsters that followed the fleet were not only the skuas in the sky, but also those behemoths in the sea, and when they first saw the killer whales, their eyeballs almost didn't fly out......

After three months of sailing, Jiang Xingchen's fleet had reached the place where the pursuit battle had taken place. Arriving here means that you have covered more than half of the distance. During this time, Wang Heng's vanguard fleet overtook them, sailed to the front again, and had already begun to sail westward.

At the same time, far away on the continent where they had been away for four months, the silver-robed man appeared in the imperial palace of the Qiankun Empire, with a smile on his face, and said in a low voice: "The time has come, you can act!" (To be continued.) )
