"Oh——" A teasing and ambiguous expression suddenly appeared on Fenowita's face, "What did Master Villanse say?"
Villanse is quite famous in the King's City of Cormanthor, and there are countless romantic stories about her. Of course, the most important thing is that this lord is a high-level mage.
In the capital, no one knows that Orlando from the Stardew family has just recently become Lord Villanse's guest. However, everyone will not despise him because of this, but will be extremely envious of him.
Even Fenowita often laments that he and his brother have similar looks, so why can't they be favored by Lord Villanthe!
cough--
Orlando, who was looked at by his brother with such ambiguous eyes, couldn't help but cough slightly to relieve the embarrassment a little, and then said:
"Villanther asked me to restrain myself in Netheril."
Speaking of this, Orlando frowned. His recent action on the human side was just sending people to the Green Bead Forest to search for the Stardew Scepter. How could there be any big action?
Moreover, Villanse was talking about "Netheril". He didn't believe that a high-level mage could not distinguish between "Netheril" and "Green Pearl Forest"!
Or is there something going on in Netheril that could actually affect him in Cormanthor?
Orlando was puzzled, and Fenowita was also very confused. She even wondered if her brother was hiding something, "That's all? What else?"
"That's all." Orlando's tone changed, "You don't really think that I climbed into Villanse's bed and she wanted to tell me everything, do you? Remember, the power of outsiders is empty after all.
Instead of thinking about these things, you might as well think more about how to become a high-level mage. You are very talented, don’t let me down!"
"Yes." Fenoweta lowered his head.
"Okay, no need to be so serious." Orlando adjusted the magic circle in the courtyard with a wave of his hand, and a trace of cheerful music floated from the distance.
Fenowita also raised his head, looking at the brightly lit city of Cormanzo below him, and at the elves walking around on the ground, and suddenly he understood something.
The Stardew family is high in the clouds, but there are countless elves below who want to step on them and climb up. The only support for the family is the high-level mage who is about to return to the kingdom of Avandor.
Once that person leaves, perhaps the Stardew family will fall into the clouds.
Whether it was looking for the Stardew Scepter or making friends with other high-level mages, Orlando was doing it for this family. Fenoweta suddenly wanted to share some of the burden. He looked at his brother and said solemnly:
"Brother, let me go find the Stardew Scepter!"
Orlando turned around and saw in his brother's eyes that he did not see anger, dissatisfaction or eagerness to show off, but rather a sense of calmness and responsibility.
Orlando thought for a while and finally did not refuse this time, but still reminded: "The family guard in the Green Pearl Forest is under your command. Villanse's warning must not be without reason. If possible, try not to have any conflicts with humans.
Conflict, but it ultimately involves the Stardew Scepter, so you can judge for yourself how far it goes."
"By the way, there is a small family on the border who seems to be inquiring about the Green Pearl Forest. They are probably asked by humans. You go over and warn them and tell them not to cause trouble!"
"Yes." Fenowita nodded heavily, then turned and left.
Shortly after Fenowita left, Orlando's figure gradually blended into the night.
…
On the other side, after Xia Duo got the map of Green Pearl Forest and returned to his residence, he immediately unfolded the map on his desk. The map was so big that it almost covered half of the desk.
It starts from the Saville Territory in the north and ends at the foot of the Wolf God Mountain in the south. To the west is the Wolfburg River that crosses the north and south, and to the east it blends into the eastern forest without any boundaries.
In other words, the Green Pearl Forest is originally part of the eastern forest, but the area south of Savile Territory is called the "Green Pearl Forest".
The map is very clear, as if it were taken from a high altitude and then artificially modified to highlight various landmarks.
Seeing this map, Xia Duo thought of the modern maps on the earth. Except that this map did not have a scale, it was actually not much different from the modern maps on the earth.
Xia Duo found the places he had walked during the Orc War last year almost at a glance.
Apart from magic, Xia Duo could not think of any other possibility for such a precise map. It was not like he had never seen ordinary maps in the library, but those maps were very abstract.
Most of them only have some routes, some terrain, signs, etc., almost none, and the ones that are there are just what the producer came up with.
For example, an 0 plus a dot in the center of a circle may refer to a symbol carved on a tree by the maker. As for where the tree is, only the maker knows.
Of course, it may also refer to stones in a certain place, but as long as there is no set of common marking standards, it is impossible to use someone else's map directly.
Now that the lord gave him this map, it was probably a sign of the lord's sincerity.
Xia Duo casually pulled out a piece of twine from his clothes and made a two-inch ring. Given a certain circumference, a circle has the largest area. To enclose land, of course, it is necessary to encircle a circular piece of land.
First, he made two drawings on the map. Through comparison with some familiar terrain, Xia Duo roughly judged that the land promised to him by the lord was not too small.
It is almost a circle with a diameter of 5 miles. If you just look at it from the map, this circle only occupies a very small area in the Green Pearl Forest.
But the reality is that Xia Duo is very worried about how much he can develop in three years. According to the development standards on the golden paper document of the "Pioneer", it requires immigrants to produce and be self-sufficient.
The lord might give him some looser conditions, but he would definitely not be much more lenient. Thinking about it now, the lord promised to develop more than 5 miles within three years. It was still his. Maybe he just said it casually and didn't think Xia Duo could do it.
Do it.
If you want to carve out a territory in the forest, first of all, how to clear the trees within a diameter of 5 miles is a huge problem.
Fortunately, the three-year agreement is only the incentive part. If Xia Duo is not enterprising, he can slowly develop these 5 miles of land.
With this territory, there is no need to go to Conchi City to play with trolls, gnolls, and orcs, which is really terrible.
…
When choosing the location of the territory, Xia Duo had two considerations, one was development potential and the other was convenient transportation.
To sum up, Xia Duo has two choices. One is the section from Savile to Conifera City. If there is a place for the caravan to rest on the way, it will definitely be profitable and it will be convenient for immigration.
The other one [81 Chinese website www.x81zw.info] is similar to the Saville Territory. It goes south along the Wolfburg River and finds a place close to the river. It mainly uses water transportation, and there are many rivers in the lower reaches of the Wolfburg River.
It is a basin lake with nice scenery. People from Naise often come there to visit and take vacations.
There are many places to rest along the way, which must be great. Then we can build a villa area and engage in real estate like Savileland.
Of course, this can only be done after his mage tower is built, otherwise no one wants their villa to be in danger.
As he thought about it, Xia Duo couldn't help laughing.
