Chapter 249 There Is a Mystery in the Misty Mountain [Subscribe Please]

Chen Xuan arrived at the right time.

The sun had already set, and the blue dark sun hung low in the west of the sky.

He took out the leaf bookmark he found in the secret room of Axo Manor from his arms.

This thing needs to wait until the silver moon rises, and the position of the petiole is aimed at the north of Magtan.

The leaf is bathed in the moonlight, and the location of the dark gold mine can be seen.

However, since the last two rounds of magic moons reached the top, the state of the silver moon has become abnormal.

It is obvious that it is also affected by the moon phase.

But no matter what, even if the silver moon only appears for a moment, it is enough for Chen Xuan.

After putting away the leaf bookmark, he turned his head and looked at Baron Bezos.

"How is the restoration of the tower going?"

"At present, the gaps less than 20 meters have been basically repaired."

"As you can see, the large gaps are under construction."

Baron Bezos answered quite familiarly.

After a slight pause, he continued.

"However, the third-order large-scale magic array engraved on the tower is missing some materials."

"We need to purchase it from the merchant house in the giant city of Attucks."

"In addition, the large-scale magic shield generation devices in the four directions of the third circle are also in a damaged state."

"Three of them were destroyed by overload, and one was demolished by monsters."

"At present, Bang City has no ability to manufacture or repair large-scale shield devices."

A good cook cannot cook without rice. Magtan City is not rich enough and is far inferior to the giant city.

Many materials need to be purchased from the giant city or other places.

Only the giant city can produce and provide large-scale magic generation devices for defending the city.

These are problems that Magtan City cannot solve on its own.

There is no way to completely cut off the dependence on the giant city of Attucks for the time being.

Of course, Chen Xuan can also choose other giant cities.

But as a border area, Attucks is already the nearest giant city to here.

In the Naroa continent, the biggest problem of cross-city trade is distance.

It turns out that Magtan City does not even have a caravan directly to the giant city.

Each trade route is only developed around other states or large settlements in the surrounding area.

Like interconnected nodes, a dense trade grid is formed.

And the giant city of Attucks is located in the center.

Under such circumstances, the team sent by Magtan City needs at least five or six Naroya days to reach the giant city one way.

In the early stage, more than 2,000 kilometers must be trekked on foot until reaching the Black Leaf Outpost.

It is the nearest giant city-level teleportation point to Magtan.

As long as they pay a considerable fee, they can use the teleportation array to reach the giant city of Attucks directly.

But even so, it takes at least more than ten Naroya days to go back and forth.

Chen Xuan knows what Baron Besos wants to express.

It's nothing more than that the efficiency of going to the giant city is too low, and it is difficult to complete the indicators he issued on time.

In the final analysis, Naroya is just an extraordinary world where low magic turns into medium magic.

Even if everyone has a certain level of magic cultivation and a relatively strong physique, they cannot solve the problem of long-distance trekking, especially when space teleportation arrays are relatively rare.

When Chen Xuan came into contact with Naroa's space storage jewelry, he already knew that the achievements of space technology here all depended on research and reproduction of ancient relics.

The indigenous people of Naroa did not use space technology to a high degree.

The current mode of transportation for caravans mainly relies on animal power.

They are mainly heavy-duty animals with good endurance, such as mountain mules, four-eyed cattle, and valley horses.

It is necessary to ensure the reliability of long-distance trekking and take into account the carrying capacity.

However, their trekking efficiency is not high, only a little faster than normal jogging, but it is better in endurance.

The solution to this problem is also very simple, that is, to improve the efficiency of the caravan's passage.

Changing the means of transportation becomes the best choice.

The rune-modified 28-bar is good, but it is not suitable for long-distance trekking.

"We need to get a few off-road trucks."

"And in order to ensure the carrying capacity, it's best to gather a batch of storage jewelry in the city."

Chen Xuan pondered in his mind and soon came up with an idea.

"Don't worry about this matter."

"You will make a list of the materials you need later."

"At the same time, search for space storage jewelry and magic items in the city."

"I will bring some steel vehicles, which run faster than mules and horses."

"As for the purchase quantity, it will be arranged according to the upper limit of the carrying capacity."

Hearing Chen Xuan's words, Baron Bezos was relieved.

"Is it like those blankets...tanks?"

He stuttered out a word in Xia Guoyu.

In response, Chen Xuan just smiled and shook his head.

"Not exactly the same."

"First, keep in remote contact with the giant city. I will solve the problem of the caravan in these two Naroya days."

"By the way, has the giant city sent anyone later?"

Chen Xuan then asked a question that he was more concerned about.

Baron Besos frowned slightly, and after a moment's silence, he answered.

"The support team sent by the giant city of Atax has withdrawn."

"But a temporary station was left at the original location."

"I think there is a high probability that there will be follow-up actions."

Just as Chen Xuan understood the problems he faced in coordinating the reconstruction of Magtan City.

Baron Besos also understood what his master wanted from this small city.

Chen Xuan nodded in agreement.

"Wait closely for follow-up notifications."

"Even if the masters of Atax City really take any action, they will definitely inform you, the local governor."

In fact, he was not too worried about this situation.

The reason was very simple.

The large force supporting the city had been withdrawn, which was enough to prove his previous speculation.

That is, the city would not waste its troops in this corner.

Especially when the city already had more information.

As for the establishment of a temporary station, an investigation team might be sent later.

If Chen Xuan stood from the perspective of the ruling class of the city, he would do the same.

There must be something wrong when things are abnormal.

No matter what the reason is, whether there is a foreshadowing or not.

The fact that Magtan City survived the magic disaster itself is very strange.

However, if it was just an investigation team, Chen Xuan would still be confident enough to control them.

Now just wait and see.

Anyway, there is no conflict or conflict of interest between Magtan City and Atax City.

The trouble is never the problem, but the interest is born in the problem.

He didn't believe that the master of the big city would worry about this small place.

It was already cautious enough to send out an investigation team.

Thinking of this, he patted Baron Besos on the shoulder.

Then he asked him about the reserves of food and mineral raw materials in the city.

He got a not too optimistic answer.

"Food can still support Naroa for about one and a half months according to rationing."

"But the mineral materials are on the verge of exhaustion."

"Whether it is repairing buildings, engraving magic circles, or forging weapons, a large amount of magic metal is needed."

"But the good news is that black iron, mountain copper, and dark gold are in sufficient stock due to the large amount of currency."

"In addition, the reserves of magic cores and monster materials are sufficient."

"Among them, many high-level materials of level 4 and above have been stored separately according to your instructions."

Baron Bezos is still quite respectful and has a clear understanding of the material reserves in the city.

After listening to his report carefully, Chen Xuan raised his eyebrows.

The food problem is easy to solve. He can easily solve it by using the channels of Blue Star.

Even the amazing appetite of the Naroa natives with extraordinary physiques is not worth mentioning for the huge food circulation of Blue Star.

According to the transaction prices of bulk meat, milk, and flour abroad.

It only takes one or two million US dollars to import about a thousand tons of food from Kangaroo Country.

He can even choose to purchase in Xia.

There are a lot of emergency foods such as instant noodles and eight-treasure porridge in warehouses and supermarkets in various places.

So the problem of lack of mineral materials is difficult to solve.

Fortunately, most of these raw materials are produced by surrounding settlements and state cities, so there is no need to go to the giant city specifically.

There are several settlements with different specialties near Magtan City.

In the past, there would be caravans coming almost every Naroya day.

But the trade route to Magtan City has almost completely stopped in recent days.

After thinking for a while, he had an idea in his mind.

"Call the caravans that were originally stranded in the city."

"Make up for the animal power and carriage frames that those caravans are now lacking."

"Resume the purchase of raw materials from surrounding mines."

"As for the problem of food, don't worry. I will find a way to supplement it during this period."

"Axo Manor will be used to build a new grain warehouse."

The only thing that Magtan City is not short of is probably money.

After raiding Ansetus's small treasury, Chen Xuan confiscated dark gold coins worth hundreds of millions of crowns.

Plus the materials and magic cores produced by monsters.

Magtan City is now rich.

They only worry about not being able to spend money, not having no money to spend.

Facing his order, Baron Bezos did not dare to neglect it and bowed quickly.

But Chen Xuan's face was not good.

He had already felt the disadvantages of the city-wide contract.

Without his guidance, Baron Bezos did not dare to make any decisions in private.

Otherwise, why would he have to make the final decision on such a small problem?

He made a decision with a frown.

That is to relax the authority of Baron Bezos and the City Hall.

"In the future, you have to find a way to solve these problems yourself."

"I allow you to call a large amount of crowns, and I also allow you to make reasonable personnel arrangements."

"Of course, all arrangements must be carried out around the tasks I assign to you."

"Only when it comes to major events involving the safety of the entire city, or problems that cannot be solved, wait for my instructions."

The invisible shackles of the soul contract will greatly stifle their subjective initiative.

This was not what Chen Xuan wanted to see.

Because he could not stay in Naroya for a long time to handle all the things.

"Understood, Master..."

"I will convey your will truthfully."

Baron Bezos was also Chen Xuan's confidant, so he called him Master.

The Baron bowed his head and saluted him.

At this point, Chen Xuan also basically understood the current progress and problems faced by Magtan City.

He nodded slightly to Baron Bezos.

Then he walked out of the temporary tent.

Raised his head and looked at the sky again.

The dark sun had sunk below the horizon.

Two rounds of demon moons hung high in the northern sky.

The silver moon had not yet appeared.

Affected by the two moons reaching the top, it would take a while to see the silver moon.

He just stood there silently, neither anxious nor impatient.

Watching the sky change with his own eyes, the silver moon rose little by little from the southeast sky.

The cold-toned moonlight shone on the earth inch by inch from the sky.

Chen Xuan stared at the shadow in front of his feet until the moonlight fell in front of him before he raised his head.

Holding the leaf bookmark in his hand, he slightly adjusted the position of the placement.

Soon, the silver-white moonlight poured down like water.

The light passed through the gaps in the leaf network and projected a moon shadow map on the ground.

This map clearly depicts the area around Magtan City.

Chen Xuan took out his mobile phone with his other hand, turned on the ultra-wide-angle camera, and took a detailed photo of the moon shadow map on the ground.

Then he slowly put down the leaf bookmark and stared at the phone intently.

He opened the album, clicked on the moon shadow map he had taken, and selected the picture combination.

Then he imported the mark map he had recorded from the mural of the mysterious cave in the Misty Canyon.

After the two pictures were placed horizontally up and down and compared intuitively, the result was clear at a glance.

There were only two marked points on the moon shadow map.

One was Magtan City, and the other was located in the mountains deep in the Misty Canyon.

That should be the location of the Dark Gold Mine.

There was a path line extending from the back of the Misty Canyon.

In terms of points, the number was much less than the marks on the mural of the mysterious ruins.

But after comparison, Chen Xuan found that the mark of the Dark Gold Mine could match one of the mural points.

Such a result explained a situation.

That is, the point mark of the mural must have a great origin.

If you go to other points, you may also find something.

In comparison, the moon shadow map obtained from the leaf bookmark is nothing.

The Dark Gold Mine is just one of the points, but there are five points marked on the mural.

"It seems necessary to form an expedition team to explore the Misty Canyon."

"In addition to receiving the Dark Gold Mine, the remaining four marked points are also worth exploring."

"The Misty Mountain may have a lot of mysteries!"

Chen Xuan thought in his heart.

This is a very important discovery.

He thinks it is necessary to take time out to lead the team in person.

But there will be things to do in the next two days on Blue Star.

In other words, the exploration must be arranged at least one or two Naro days later.

After roughly arranging the time for various things, he turned around and called Baron Bezos.

"By the way, Bezos."

"Before the next Naroa Day, I need you to organize an expedition team."

"Select good players with silver-level cultivation to accompany you, including some shooters."

"In addition, select some natural, wind and fire casters from the Magic Association."

"The total number of the expedition team is about fifty people."
