Li Yu raised his head and glanced at the lady opposite.

"You should have been there that day. If you break your oath and it is made public, your reputation will be ruined."

"I understand, I saw what happened to Antonio." Alisa looked serious, "But it is precisely because of this that I can make the child 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 record the oath."

"I can pay you."

"I'm not short of money."

"Where is the woman? I can help you find a maid more beautiful than Clara."

"I asked Fausto to discuss buying Clara, not because she is good-looking." Li Yu shook his head.

"Then 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 will you know if you don't try," Alisa leaned forward and lowered her voice. "I have heard some rumors recently that you have asked Ilea for the power to establish a cult in the Green Fields."

"Then what?"

"If you are willing to help me, you can gain an ally, and I will stand by your side whenever you need it in the future." The lady said.

Li Yu didn't speak, seemed to be thinking about Alisa's proposal, and spoke after a while.

"Exchange of benefits?"

"Yes, this is a common method among nobles. There is no need for any psychological obstacles. Neither you nor I have betrayed the child. Our starting point is for her good. Judging from your words and deeds, you are in your hometown

I must be a noble, so I must be able to understand."

"I am not a noble," Li Yu said. "I reject your proposal of cooperation. I will get the permission to form the religious order in my own way."

"Are you not going to think about it again?"

"No need, I was thinking about other things before, you shouldn't come to me today."

"I don't think so. Even if you are unwilling to help me, I will not regard you as an enemy." Although Alyssa was a little disappointed, she still said politely, "Anyway, thank you for chatting with me for so long."

After saying that, the lady stood up and left Li Yu's room without any further entanglement.

Li Yu then tidied up a little and went down the narrow spiral staircase to the first floor of the castle. He said to the maid and 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 place of birth.

Not long after Li Yu arrived at Luye, he asked Fausto for the map of Luye.

Maps are also rare items in the Bratis continent, especially those with fine drawings, which usually have important military significance.

Lords everywhere will try their best to prevent such maps from falling into the hands of outsiders. If it weren't for Ilea's unusual trust in Li Yu, it would be very difficult for Li Yu, as a foreigner, to see the map collected by the Arias family.

Not an easy thing.

Moreover, getting the map is only the first step. Understanding the map is also a technical task.

Different from the modern maps that Li Yu was familiar with, most of the maps on Bratis continent used the orientation rules of up, east, down, west, left, north, right and south, which looked very awkward.

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

The most eye-catching part of this map is undoubtedly the statue of the Silver Moon Goddess Pisiya at the top, flying in the night sky, overlooking the earth below. There are also different moon phases painted on the four corners. However, this part of the content is just

I glanced at it and stopped paying attention.

He focused his attention on the territory below. To Li Yu's expectation, the territory of the Arias family was quite large. According to Fausto, if calculated in terms of territorial area alone, the Arias family owned all the land in the western territory.

Probably ranked third among the nobles.

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

Anyone who has ever rented a house will know what a magical creature a roommate is, with outrageous upper and lower limits.

And even if you are lucky enough to meet someone who is easy to get along with, as time goes by and the distance is close, there will still be friction, not to mention sharing a house with six or seven people at the same time, there will definitely be a lot of troubles to deal with.

.

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

In addition, Li Yu also noticed that the big head located in the west was painted with green, occupying almost one-third of the territory, with a lizard-headed monster painted on it, and danger marked with a red boy.

"What is this place?"

"The Great Swamp of Gaigu," the old manager replied, "is a green kingdom of death, hence the name Green Wilderness. It is inhabited by all kinds of poisonous insects and monsters, as well as savage lizard people and their

Worshiping an evil god, the lizardmen would come out of their damp and rotten caves every time the crops were about to be harvested and plunder nearby villages.

"The lords of the Arias family have been troubled by these bandits. Even if you can kill all the invading lizardmen this year, they will still appear tomorrow, snatching crops from the fields, kidnapping women, and killing people along the way.

All the villagers on the mountain are like rats and cannot be eliminated no matter what.

"There were people who couldn't stand the harassment of these bandits. They ignored the instructions of the Silver Moon Church and the prohibitions left by their ancestors, and led troops to chase into the Gaigu Great Swamp, hoping to eradicate those bastards. However, most of them ended up

We suffered heavy losses and had to flee back in embarrassment."

"Where are there a small number of people?" Li Yu asked.

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

"In short, the Gaigu Great Swamp is very dangerous. Outsiders will be swallowed up by it if they are not careful. Therefore, I strongly recommend that you and your assistants do not get close there. Once you are lost in it, even if Miss Ilea summons the territory

All our troops and horses cannot save you."

"I understand." Li Yu nodded, "At this stage, I only plan to conduct some basic exploration and investigation near the castle, and will not go too far."

"That would be perfect."

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

"It's best not." Fausto declined politely.

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