Due to some emergencies today, the progress of exploring the Wizard Tower was pushed back for several days.

Because the old sea dog is back.

In fact, Sauron thought that the old sea dog was dead. Sailing on the sea always prevented some accidents, such as encountering an extremely powerful sea monster, encountering a terrible storm, and the ship accidentally hit the reef, etc. The fleet brought by the old sea dog has lost news for two months. Basically, the management of Modo City has already thought that he was dead and has arranged the location for others to take over. However, what no one expected was that this guy actually came back alive.

He came back alive and came back alive. The old sea dog was not a particularly important figure in Modo's management.

But this time his return is a bit interesting.

Because the old sea dog brought back a lot of useful information to Sauron, this time he returned not from the Eastern route to Modo City, but along another route, he arrived at Modo from the other side of the Amazon rainforest. This is a new route, and the old sea dog's return safely proves that this route is not very dangerous. In the simple navigation chart he drew, the final destination of this route is a huge and somewhat deserted island.

Located at the junction of the Eastern World, the area is larger than the combined southern kingdoms. One-third of the land shows signs of desertification, but it is not as serious as the Eastern countries. There are residual ancient relics on the islands, because the era is too long and not much can be seen on the surface, but there may be more undiscovered things underground.

Lao Haigou and others discovered huge urban relics, but did not see any indigenous lives.

This island is about two or three days away from the Eastern Seas. From the area they are currently exploring, only some Eastern pirates use the coastline here as a secret base.

No one from the Eastern Kingdoms studied and explored the island in depth.

It’s not that the people in the Eastern Kingdoms have no spirit of adventure, but that this island seals some powerful ancient evil things in their legend.

The old sea dog and others did not encounter any ancient evil things, and they were unlikely to come back alive if they encountered them. However, when they were exploring the edges of the city ruins, they encountered many undead and ghosts. These things were not something they could deal with. After losing a few people, the old sea dog decisively gave up further exploration and directly led the people to raid the nest of the Eastern Pirates at night, and then robbed one of their warships and returned to Modo City from the Amazon rainforest.

The old furry is still a little brainy.

He actually knew that he would bring some valuable things from it to Sauron. For Sauron, it was naturally not gold and jewelry. These things were not lacking in Modo City. The old sea dog brought back a little strange dark red soil, some special alchemy parts, the corpses of mutant creatures living nearby, and something that looked like a light bulb.

In the words of the old sea dog, this thing was in a room in the ruins, and I don’t know how long it took to light up.

There are two or three boxes of things I will bring.

Unfortunately, they are not something of amazing value. It can be seen that the old sea dog was just taking people around the periphery. Sauron picked up an alchemy part and glanced at it, then handed it to Golia and the Fallen Witch next to him, and said in a deep voice: "Can it be a falling floating city?"

Golia looked at some of these miscellaneous items, frowned and shook her head, "I can't confirm."

"The alchemy craftsmanship of these things is not very high. If it is really a floating city falling there, why didn't a big explosion occur? Logically speaking, there should not be any large city ruins in the material plane now. It may be just another wizard city buried in history. The specific situation needs to be determined."

The Fallen Witch nodded when she heard this and said slowly: "It doesn't seem to be of much value at the moment, but you may consider going to see it after you take down the Wizard Tower."

"The complete floating city ruins existing in the material plane can only be found in the Eastern Kingdoms."

Upon hearing this, Sauron nodded and said, "Yeah. I understand."

After saying that, he turned his gaze to the navigation chart in front of him, and based on the navigation chart drawn by the old sea dog. The route he returned would pass through the Amazon rainforest and finally reach the boundary of the Eastern Kingdoms. Sauron's finger gently pointed on the map, as if thinking about something important. After a while, he shook his head and reached out to erase a sign on the map.

“The eastern seas are too far away.”

Sauron looked at the navigation chart in front of him and murmured: "At the critical moment of the outbreak of the Saint Catastrophe, it is no longer suitable for him to expand his territory again. The Ice and Snow Kingdom is because of Princess Anna and the eldest princess, so that he can suppress the pirates. Otherwise, it would have been full of loopholes because it was too far from the South Coast to manage it."

"Oriental Sea."

“The benefits obtained from taking it and the costs paid are simply disproportionate.”

Sauron already has the territory of the Three Seas.

If you take over the Eastern Seas, you will basically be close to perfection in the seas where humans are active. However, the current situation is that taking over the Eastern Seas is too expensive, and the benefits you get are already very limited. Another route of Arendell is no longer of much use for Sauron. He is better off putting the energy elsewhere than putting it.

However, this sea area still needs to be marked.

The core territory of the Arcane Empire is in the Eastern Kingdom. When the Arcane Empire was destroyed, the place where the floating city fell in the East was in the East. No one was sure if they would encounter a dead mouse if they would encounter a blind cat.

A day passed in a blink of an eye.

Just as Sauron was about to continue exploring the Wizard Tower, a small accident happened again.

Falling Leaf City.

A very important news was sent from the intelligence system of Modo City, that is, some of the half-elves in the fallen leaf city seemed to have organized. They prayed to obtain Soren's protection and prepare to migrate to the overseas archipelago collectively. Because this matter is of great importance, the people below cannot make any decisions, so they were sent to Soren as soon as possible. Half-elves are the main source of believers of Soren, so he also attaches great importance to this matter. He will never think that there are too many populations. If the half-elves intend to move to the overseas archipelago, he will definitely welcome them very much.

but.

Modo City can no longer be installed.

In the initial design, Modo City was a structure similar to ancient Rome, with a population of only tens of thousands, and even the third expansion would not exceed 100,000. It is not that the area of ​​Modo City could not accommodate so many people, but that the supply of various food, drink, defecation and sensation could only be maintained at this scale and was easier to operate. The transportation capacity in this era was very limited, and it took a lot of effort to transport a boat of fishing cargo from the port of Modo City to the inner city. Too large and concentrated population would lead to Modo City becoming quite bloated.

If these half-elves wanted to come over, they would definitely not be as good as the first batch.

They probably can only go to the pioneering towns near Modo City. Only when all these towns surrounding Modo City are established and completed can the supply system be truly established, and the population capacity of Modo City can be expanded to more than 100,000 people!
Chapter completed!
