Chapter 133: Land reclamation (Part 1)

The warship dropped the anchor, and the pirates on the pirate ship were already exhausted. They rushed on the road for half a month, although it was always north wind, but the sailors consumed many times more physical strength than the magic-powered ship. In the past half month, more than one hundred pirates were almost exhausted, but no pirate dared to have any objection.

Salin's three warships were not decorations, and they just wanted to escape at this time, but they had no chance.

Looking far to the land, the coast was towering mountains. Rex took the magician onto the battleship from the underwater Alchemy ship. She came to Salin and shook her head when she saw the situation on the coast. The mountains here are continuous, and there is probably no place suitable for opening a port for hundreds of miles nearby.

To build this city, you need to lead to Phoenix by land and connect Lianyun City by water. Phoenix is ​​mountainous in the north. If you want to open a road in the mountains, even if you have a large number of magicians help, it will be extremely time-consuming and may not be able to open this road in three years.

Rex took out her magic map, opened it, searched upwards, found the northern part of Phoenix, enlarged the map, searched the coastal areas, and finally found several parts marked with the establishment of deep water ports.

The closest place to Phoenix is ​​obviously not good. It is isolated from the world, with tall mountains on three sides and sea on one side. More than 400 miles north, there is a place that is a broken belt formed by the mountains. Here you only need to open up a few peaks to connect this small area with the plain behind it.

There are not many obstacles between the plains and Phoenix. You can enter Phoenix south by less than 800 miles to the west. The total distance is more than 2,000 miles. There are mountains blocking the straight line, which is already the closest way.

"Two thousand miles, even if you use the best carriage, you can run eight hours a day, and it will take five days to get there." Salin looked at the map and felt that this place was too far from Phoenix.

"It's already good. We can build cities on the plains. This port by the sea cannot be used as a commercial city. This place, more than 700 miles south, can build a second harbor. It is not a trading city anyway, and it can be used to moor warships."

"We will not cause any trouble when we open up the land here, right?" Salin asked.

"No, the territory of the empire will be suspended when it reaches the border of Phoenix. Any noble can expand the territory of the empire outside the territory. No one wants it here because it is not suitable for farmers to cultivate. There is another frozen period of nearly half a year, and the port will be frozen, and it is impossible to develop sea transportation with Skochenya. In order to open up land here, the income is not enough to be paid to the royal family."

"Then aren't you going to pay for money?" When Salin heard this, it turned out that the nobles had to pay a certain amount of property to the royal family to obtain land outside the empire. No wonder no one wanted such a large piece of land.

"I am the royal family. This place can be used as a land developed by Kushui County and the country, without paying anything to Holy Rock City. I can just support the farmers on this land."

When Salin heard this, he felt relieved that Rex had such benefits in founding the country.

After discussing with Salin, Rex flew up in the air, compared the coordinates seen on the magic compass, and combined with her magic map, she finally determined her current location.

From here, it is more than two hundred miles north of the place she and Salin chose. Salin was not in a hurry at this time and ordered the three warships to rest and set sail again tomorrow.

The pirates heard that they could rest for one night, and they collapsed on the bed, and even the boat was unable to clean it up.

Salin was not tired at all. He summoned all the magicians on the three ships and told the mages about his plans with Rex. The mages had no objection. Jason had already issued an order that unless they were asked to die, the others would follow Salin's arrangements.

After resting for one night, the next day, the fleet sailed for four hours and arrived at the place chosen by Rex.

This is still the coastal landform in the northern part of the Meers continent, with mountains and peninsulas protruding out of the sea. What makes Salin happy is that the mountains here are all pure white stones, I don’t know what category it is. They look a little similar to mica, but they are extremely hard.

It is a hundred times more difficult to develop such a landform, but once the harbor is built, it is the most solid. Salin remembered Pompei's white city walls, and it seemed that some of the walls were built with this kind of stone.

Moreover, a half-moon-shaped peninsula extends here, and north of the peninsula is a naturally formed deep-water port. About two miles north of the peninsula is a bare white stone mountain. The magic turret is dug into pieces to protect the port. The peninsula itself can directly build a platform and design the twelve magic stone pillars.

There is a second place behind the White Stone Mountain to the north where a port can be built. With such a terrain, it is not a problem to build a large city here.

There are yellow forests on the land, and the mountains here are covered with snow for half a year, so it is not a problem to get water.

"Sarin, this place is good, but I have to leave." Rex looked at the crescent-shaped peninsula and felt very moved. If it hadn't been frozen for nearly half a year, it would have been reclaimed by humans long ago. The blue sea, white stone mountains, peninsula, dense forests, the style is rough and has a unique charm.

"Are you leaving?"

"The materials your teacher gave me were not enough to build a city, so I still need to go back to Qinyin to buy it. Didn't you say you wanted to move the Caucasians? I happened to take Shika to Galoran to see the local situation. After going there for at least half a year, you and others basically can't do anything. Please clean up the open space according to the drawings and wait for me to come back."

"How many people do you want to bring?"

"I'll take a boat and Shika will follow me. The magician will leave most of you. I'll go ashore in Lianyun City and rush back to Kushui County as soon as possible. When I arrive in Lianyun City, the warship will let them drive back. I will come back from Phoenix and find the location for the future lane construction."

"You have to be careful." Salin was a little reluctant at this time. After spending a long time with Rex, he had forgotten the identity of Prince Rex, and did not even regard her as a great magician who was two levels higher than him.

Rex didn't know what to say. Salin was her only friend. Among the closest people, Faren passed away. The teacher could not follow him all year round. His father died. Suddenly he wanted to separate from Salin, who had been with him for a few years. Rex's heart was a little sour.

She secretly warned herself: It's only half a year, for the magician, this is just a hurry. This feeling must be Jason who gave her psychological hints, which made her feel reluctant. Rex, you have something more important to do...

Rex thought about it, but became more sad. As a royal family, she lost far more than she got. For example, now, if she was just an ordinary magician, why would she still want to build a city or build a plane teleportation array that could see the full view. She just needs to stay in the half plane with Salin.

Pushing these thoughts out of your mind with all your might, Rex forced a smile and said to Salin: "I won't go ashore and see it anymore. Let's go now. Do you want to say goodbye to Shika?"

"Of course!" When talking about Shika, Salin immediately forgot the sorrow of parting, and he became worried. If Shika doesn't follow him, will she be deceived outside? In addition to the matters related to fighting, she is the most concerned about the people in the village. Shika doesn't care about the rest of the things.

Most Caucasians were like this, otherwise how could this nation's strong fighting instincts gradually decline?

Thinking of this, Salin did not call Sica, but went to find Daniel first. The undead mage has become much more honest now. Seeing the grand occasion of Salin Master Sect, Daniel did not want to make the dozens of magicians on Srieg Island unhappy. He now only hopes that he can surpass Salin at level as soon as possible, let him fulfill the contract and give himself freedom.

"Daniel, I want undead toxins, give me as much as I have." Salin didn't beat around the bush. Daniel took out a small bottle with heartache. Undead toxins are not extracted, but the summoned undead creatures will secrete some of them every day, which is extremely precious. This thing is just a strong poison for others, but the undead mage can be used to practice.

Khasarin and Rex provided him with so many magic cores that he couldn't even refuse Sarin.

Salin came directly to Shika's room with the undead toxin. He pushed the door and entered. Shika was holding a book to read. Salin was a little surprised. Although Shika was literate, Salin had never seen her read.

"Sarin, what's the matter?" Shika saw Salin coming in and put down the book. She was not carrying a weapon on her back, and finally had a bit of a ladylike look. Her long black hair spread over her shoulders, and her close-fitting soft armor was covered with a snow-white fur.

Salin and Shika told Sakar that Rex was leaving and that he would take her back to the village. Shika suddenly cheered. She jumped over the table, picked up Salin, and turned around for a few times. Fortunately, Salin was able to fly and was used to such intense exercise, otherwise she would have to vomit.

"Shika, let me down." Salin shouted. Shika's arms were even more powerful than the power of the monster.

Shika said happily to Salin: "I can finally go back to the village. I used to want to leave, but I was afraid of getting lost."

Seeing that Shika was not nostalgic, Salin felt a little strange in his heart. He thought Shika would not want to go back. But that would be fine. Salin thought to hand over the undead toxin extorted from Daniel to Shika.

"This is the undead toxin..." Salin said halfway, then took off his gloves and stuffed them to Shika, saying: "When using the undead toxin, remember to wear this glove. The undead toxin can be directly applied to your boomerang. As long as you see blood, even advanced monsters will be poisoned to death. However, this thing is not as effective as mine. Be careful when you use it, don't get poisoned by yourself."
