The investigation work was completed in less than ten minutes. If it weren't for Lucifer's urging, the Lord of Mengli City would have almost been fascinated by the mermaid. These creatures are different from other combat units. They do not need attack value or defense value. Their only weapon is their bewitching beauty. When the crew members in distress saw the cannibal banshee with fangs exposed before they died, they could only regret it. It was a mistake at first.
¡°I have to say, it¡¯s really soul-stirring.¡±
"During the day, yes." Lucifer stared at the mermaids without being confused at all. He said quietly, "But at night, you will see their true colors Well, I won't say so much, I don't recommend it. Hurt these little creatures, they are guarding the door for us on the outside, now it¡¯s time to land.¡±
"Let's go to the big island first!" Lord Mengli finally came back to his senses and set his sights on an ear-shaped island in the easternmost part of the archipelago. Viewed from a high altitude, the other small islands looked like they were from the big island. The total area of ??the separated ones is less than twice that of the big island, but this big island is indeed an island.
"Succubus, go scout the surroundings first and establish a foothold for us." After the Lord of Mengli City gave the order seriously, it took a few minutes before he and Lucifer started taking action.
The succubi planted branches around a higher raised lawn, establishing a foothold for the Lord of Mengli City. Once any creature crosses this boundary, it will be immediately killed without mercy.
"This is really a good place to set up camp, with a panoramic view of more than a thousand meters around. Soon, we will be able to conquer this island, and Mengli City will add another annex."
The island is picturesque, with mountains, lawns, creeks, and flowers, but there are no dense woods that trouble the Lord of Mengli City, so the magician secretly announced himself as the new master as soon as he set foot on this land.
Members of the direct team also have their views: "To be honest, since the geographical location of this island is so unique, it would be perfect for us to build a castle here, without being involved in the war, every day (game day) We can earn two thousand gold coins? We should treat this land as a colony, gradually expand to other small islands, and control all these portals in our hands."
"Well said!" The Lord of Mengli City clapped his hands, "Then let us take the first step of conquest and see if there are gold mines and rare resource mines, nests of wild soldiers, and even some other buildings on this island. !¡±
Exploring this island in a blanket manner is a big project. Logically speaking, it would be more efficient to separate the members of the direct team, but the Lord of Mengli City has always been worried about them. In order to train their combat capabilities, he is still determined to take them with him. It doesn't matter if the progress is slower.
Looking at the entire island, it is long, narrow and curved. The current location of Mengli City Lord and others is at the southern end of the island, so they only need to gradually explore in one direction to the north. There is no need to divide the troops.
"You guys conquer it slowly. I'll go to the north of the island for a walk first, and we'll eventually meet in the middle of the island!" Lucifer said and disappeared like a gust of wind.
Naturally, the Lord of Mengli City arranged the succubus on the outside, with the members of his direct team in front, and the three personal heroes surrounding the Lord of Mengli City in the back. After making a foolproof deployment, the conquerors began to advance north.
They traveled a full two thousand meters without encountering a single creature, but it has to be said that the Lord of Mengli City gained a lot from this trip. Not only did he control a gold mine, but he also mastered three rare resource mines, each of which produced gems. , crystal and mercury At this time, the Lord of Mengli City estimated that there should be no life on this island, and he seemed to regard it as his supply point.
A breeze blew by, and City Lord Mengli and others gradually approached a garden. Everyone couldn't help but close their eyes, greedily breathing the air here, and completely relaxing their bodies and minds.
After wandering around the garden for a long time, the Lord of Mengli City finally shouted: "There are elves and fairies, the second-level arms of the elemental race, here! It's so beautiful!"
Seven or eight elves and fairies were dancing among the flowers. It was quiet all around. Except for the gurgling sound of the creek, the only sound left was the flapping of the wings of the elves and fairies In a blink of an eye, they all came over.
"Hello, I am the new owner here. In the days to come, I will ensure that you always live a peaceful life."
"Magic, although you are different from other conquerors, this place is by no means privately owned by anyone. This is a sacred and solemn place that no one can defile."
The Elf Fairy's answer surprised the Lord of Mengli City. He said with a straight face: "This island belongs to me. The garden is on the island. Why doesn't it belong to me?"
"Then?? You'd better go and debate these things with our scholars, we are willing to lead the way."
The Lord of Mengli City grinned: "Haha, okay, I want to take a look at the school."?Can you convince me? "
Gradually, some scattered marble stools, chairs and tables appeared in front of Mengli City Lord. He continued to walk forward and finally saw a small academic palace.
"Ah, no one has visited the Garden of Truth for a long time. People nowadays are keen on plundering and killing, and prefer intrigues and intrigues to the eternal truth. I am a scholar here, you can also call me Doctor." An old man in plain clothes, bald and barefoot, closed the book and welcomed him, "Everyone who comes to visit the Garden of Truth can gain knowledge. What do you want to learn?"
After seeing the doctor, Lord Mengli immediately felt respectful. He slowly took a step forward and said with a smile: "Whatever, just teach us random knowledge, as if we met you by chance, doctor."
"Ah. This magician is indeed extraordinary, okay, in that case??" The doctor quickly opened the book, pointed with his hand, and read aloud, "Did you know? It is said that there was once an explorer who did not enter the portal. He was the smartest person at that time, but after entering the portal, he became a fool. Many years later, he came back from the portal and became the wisest person?? Excerpted from the greatest doctor in history, Varro, oh, This was a long time ago.¡±
After the doctor finished speaking, he closed the book.
"What kind of knowledge is this?" Lord Mengli looked at the doctor with suspicion, "This is a bit like nonsense."
"Acquiring knowledge is knowing something you didn't know before. Do you dare to say that you have heard this story before?" The doctor smiled and looked at the magician, "You must tell the truth."
"Uh?? That's not true."
"That's right! Remember this sentence carefully, maybe it will be really useful to you. This is the garden of truth, not the wall of wisdom. I only teach knowledge and truth here, and never teach people the little wisdom of intrigues."
"But are you sure that the knowledge you impart is better than the little wits of intrigues?" the magician asked.
"The truth is the truth. There is no need to explain or participate in the argument. You can go." After finishing speaking, the doctor stood up and nodded slightly.
¡°You must know that this is my territory??¡±
As soon as the Lord of Mengli City finished speaking, there was no trace of the doctor, and only a vague voice was heard: "Child, you can only understand once in life, and you will not gain any knowledge by visiting the Garden of Truth for the second time."
"Huh??" Lord Mengli shook his head helplessly, waved, and led everyone out of the garden, but he kept thinking about the doctor's words and pondering about the portal.
"My knowledge value has been increased by +1." Xiaojian shouted first, and then the team directly under him and the private hero also said the same thing.
The Lord of Mengli City checked it and found that his knowledge value had also increased by 1 point. He thought to himself: This may be just a program. There is nothing worth thinking about. I can't figure it out anyway. Forget it. Who cares? ??
Unknowingly, everyone was several hundred meters away from the Garden of Truth, but suddenly they heard the sound of a fierce fight.
"¡ª¡ªGet ready to fight!" Lord Mengli City immediately gave the order and rushed over first.
