The sun is scorching in the sky, the scorching sunshine is scorching the earth, the cicadas are chirping, the eyes are green and full of vitality, summer has arrived.
Allen was sitting in Twilight Castle, holding a crystal cup filled with juice in his hand. Allen extended the cup to Barton, who was standing quietly next to him.
Barton understood, bent down slightly, and the power of the water element in his body moved slightly. He saw three ice cubes the size of broad beans suddenly condensed in the sky above the crystal cup, and fell into the cup with a pop.
Allen leaned back on the chair, shook his hand, and quickly took a sip of tea, with a look of satisfaction on his face.
The high-level water element knight is simply an ice-making machine! But there is probably no territory that dares to use the high-level knight as an ice-making machine! Allen thought in his mind.
In this era, ordinary people among the nobility, who wanted to escape the summer heat, would not only move into a special summer manor, but also make a special ice cellar, store the ice cubes collected in winter, and then take them out for use in the following summer.
"Earl! Master Andy is here!" At this time, Bud hurriedly walked in from outside.
"Well! Let him in!" Hearing that it was Andy, Allen couldn't help but sit up straight. It seemed that what he told Andy had been completed.
Then, Andy walked in with Bud, holding a large parchment roll in his hand.
"Earl! The map you requested has been made by my subordinates!" Andy bowed and said excitedly.
Allen stood up, walked to the table in the hall, pointed at the tabletop, and said with a smile.
"Open it!"
"yes!"
Andy responded, immediately grabbed the parchment and walked to the table, slowly opening the parchment in front of Allen.
"How big is the map?" Allen asked while looking at the map, which was more than one meter long.
"Count! This map was obtained by my subordinates after synthesizing the maps collected from various places over the past few days. After all, some maps are too old and there will inevitably be some deviations!
This map covers most of the countries and forces in the east of the Scarlet Continent. It only covers the northernmost area of the continent. Perhaps due to climate reasons, humans seldom set foot on it, so my subordinates looked through all the maps and found no relevant information.
Record!" Andy said.
Allen nodded after hearing this and began to pay attention to the map.
In addition to drawing the eastern part of the continent, this map only briefly draws some coastal outlines in the west.
Looking at this map carefully, you can see the long Black Dragon Mountains, spreading from the middle of the southern coast, cutting straight into the center of the continent.
The map also uses the Black Dragon Mountains as the boundary, and draws most of the countries to the right of the Black Dragon Mountains and to the east of the continent.
Among them, the Principality of Kane is close to the starting point of the Black Dragon Mountains. To the east of the Principality of Kane is the Principality of Blue, and to the north is the Principality of Linton.
As for the Principality of Side, it is located to the east of the Principality of Linton and to the north of the Principality of Bru.
From the map, the four principalities together look like a curved field shape.
There are two other principalities to the north of the Principality of Side and the Principality of Bru, and further north is the territory of the Charles Empire.
The Kingdom of Austria-Hungary is located to the east of the Principality of Bru and the Principality of Side. It has a huge land area and truly occupies the southeast corner of the continent.
To the north of the Austro-Hungarian Kingdom is the Kuroshio Kingdom and the Flame Realm. The three areas border each other. Where these three territories are handed over at the same time, a point is marked, which is the Blood Underworld City, the famous mercenary city.
Of these three forces, Allen focused on observing the Flame Realm, which is where the alien Balrog people are active. The Balrog people's home base is not actually in the Yanhuo Realm. The Yanhuo Realm can be regarded as the bridgehead for the Balrog people to invade the mainland.
The Balrog people's home base is overseas, which is the Black Phoenix Island drawn on the map. The Black Phoenix Island is in the sea east of the Flame Realm. It is not very far from the Bloody Continent and has a huge area. Allen refers to the Black Phoenix Island on the map.
Judging from the size of Phoenix Island, the distance between Black Phoenix Island and Black Phoenix Island is probably three times as large as the Principality of Kane. It can already be called a small continent!
Looking at this very detailed map, Allen couldn't help but praise Andy. With this map, commercial trade in the territory can begin!
Allen is so eager to get this map, naturally he wants to open up the territory's trade routes, especially maritime trade. Due to the war, the maritime trade of the Principality of Kane has been stagnant for a long time.
The mainland has a variety of resources, and there are countless things that can be used in the territory. Allen does not dare to exaggerate and say that his territory is rich in products and there is no need for external items.
At the same time, due to long-term production, the territory's woodensis now has a large inventory. It is just in time to take advantage of the coming summer to promote the woodensis to surrounding countries, even the distant Charles Empire and the Kingdom of Austria-Hungary.
Allen's potential clients.
After solving the map problem, Allen no longer needs to personally participate in the next trade issue, and his own territorial caravan will handle it.
Not long after, a gorgeous carriage stopped outside Twilight Castle, and then Allen boarded the carriage and rushed towards Black Shark Port. In addition to Barton Bader, there was also a squadron of Flame Knights soldiers accompanying him.
Black Shark Port is now a berthing port for the fleet, with forty large ships parked together, which seems a bit too crowded.
When Allen arrived, Captain Fran of the second fleet greeted him with many sailors.
"Your Majesty the Earl!" Fran bowed and saluted, as did many sailors behind him, looking at Allen with a reserved expression.
"My Lord Count! Everything is ready, you can board the ship at any time!" Fran said respectfully.
"Well! Then let's get on the boat!" Allen looked at the ten large ships with sails raised in the harbor and nodded.
This time when he went to sea, Allen naturally did not go to Heilan Island. Heilan Island is now extremely stable. After the first Near Mouse City was established, the second city is being planned in an orderly manner. It is believed that it will not be long before construction begins.
This time Allen went to Snake Dance Island, which was the island that Fran went to sea to find a few months ago. It was also one of the four large islands that Allen saw on that chart.
It has now been four months since Allen unified the Principality of Kane. During such a long time, the three surrounding principalities have been extremely honest and there has been no change. In addition, the Nine Principalities are undergoing rapid expansion in the Principality of Kane.
Now, there is no place where Allen is needed, so Allen is going to explore Snake Dance Island.
Of course, in order to prevent extraordinary powerful men from the three principalities from attacking after he went to sea, Allen recruited Bahamut to the Principality of Kane and asked him to guard it for a period of time.
As for the original Black Orchid Island, there was the mermaid Harmony Tina. After the Ice Scepter fell into Allen's hands, Harmony Tina became much easier to talk to.
Allen asked him to temporarily guard Black Orchid Island and ensure the human race on Black Orchid Island, and Harmingtina did not refuse.
