"Come on, Rubik's Cube Lord, you can choose an area from the area marked as blank on this map as your territory."

The city lord of Todd took out a map and put it in front of Chen Bing.

The map is a map of Tucheng and its surroundings, with gray and blank colors, gray means not selectable.

"Okay, I'll take a look first."

Chen Bing's spirits perked.

He checked the range of his territory, which was about 250*200, that is, an area of 50,000 square meters, although the area was not very huge, but as a private territory, it was enough.

With the territory, Chen Bing can do a lot more.

One of the most obvious benefits is that he can recruit NPC guards in his realm, as well as establish a trading market in his realm to earn taxes.

The NPC guards recruited by players are generally not too strong, and most of the time the reason is that the player's reputation in the NPC is not enough, and powerful NPCs generally do not come.

Another reason is that the cost of forming a guard team is not a joke when the player's reputation is not high, and the price of forming a guard team is not a joke.

And Chen Bing, as the first place on the honor kill list, even the city lord knows his name, and he has also become an honorary lord, his reputation among NPCs is definitely unmatched, and recruiting NPC guards is definitely not a problem.

Chen Bing's eyes flickered, looking for suitable terrain on the map.

As a former special forces, Chen Bing certainly knew that it was best to build his territory in a position that was easy to defend and difficult to attack.

"Lord Todd, there is an ancient castle on the map of this valley, can I directly choose it as my territory?"

After looking at it for a while, Chen Bing suddenly pointed to a valley on the map and said.

In Chen Bing's opinion, this valley is very suitable as a territory.

Behind the valley is a large rift valley, and below the great rift valley is a river, and it is difficult to attack from behind the valley.

In front of the valley is a plain, with convenient transportation and convenient access to Tucheng.

This place was chosen as the territory, and the territory range just covered the entrance of the valley, and as long as Chen Bing guarded the entrance, it would be difficult for the intruders to invade the territory.

Taking 10,000 steps back, the territory has really been invaded, and he can also use the rift and river behind the valley to escape, there is a back road that is difficult to trace.

It can be said that there is no better position for the territory than this.

But the strange thing is that there is an ancient castle in the valley, and Chen Bing can still choose.

"Oh, you are talking about this shadow castle, this shadow castle has long been uninhabited, and the castle is not anyone's property, you can choose it as your territory, and the castle will become your property. But I think you'd better not do that, the Shadow Castle is not a good place, and there are often strange shadows in the castle, so that the people who live in the castle will either disappear or die, and the Shadow Castle will become a borderland, also because the previous owner died. And that is not the only castle owner who died mysteriously, counting the past, there are five castle owners who either died in the castle or disappeared from the castle. So since the death of the previous owner, no one wants to take over the Shadow Castle. ”

Todd glanced at it and explained with a smile.

"And how is the castle maintained?"

Chen Bing thought for a moment and asked.

"I don't know now, but a few years ago, a few years after the death of the previous owner of the castle, although no one lived in the castle, it was still as well maintained as a person, and there was absolutely no problem with the occupants. I said, Rubik's Cube Lord, you don't really want this castle, do you? I think you'd better not do that, the Shadow Castle is so weird! ”

After Todd answered Chen Bing, he persuaded again.

"I know your kindness, city lord, why don't you do this, I'll go over and see the situation first, and then choose the Shadow Castle if it's okay, what do you think?"

Chen Bing's heart moved, and he said to the city lord of Todd.

"That's fine, but you have to make a decision within three days, and I'll report to the royal family when you make your choice."

The city lord of Todd thought about it and felt that it would be a good idea to let Chen Bing go and see him by himself.

Although the Shadow Castle is dangerous, it has not been killed the first time you enter the castle.

As far as Lord Todd knew, the Shadow Castle would initially appear as a haunted cast, and if the owner of the castle was not scared away, he would eventually die.

"This is the master key of the Shadow Castle, it can open any door in the castle, if you see that the situation is not good, leave quickly."

The City Lord of Todd took out an ancient and delicate key and handed it to Chen Bing.

"Thank you! By the way, Lord Castle, I wonder if you can tell me when the Demonic Forest appeared? ”

After Chen Bing took the key, he asked.

In fact, even if the city lord didn't invite him over at night, Chen Bing would find the city lord and ask for more information about the Demon Forest.

"When did it appear? I don't know the specifics, the only thing I can tell you is that the Demon Forest existed before the construction of the Earth City. A long time ago, many people ventured into the Demonic Forest to hunt for treasure, and at that time, people built a resting place outside the Demonized Forest, which was the prototype of the Earth City. Later, in order to resist the monster riots that appear from time to time, the people who came to venture out of the treasure hunt simply decided to strengthen the earth city to resist the rampaging monsters that rushed out of the demonized forest. If it weren't for that, every time the monster rioted, they would have to retreat to a very far place in advance to avoid being attacked by the rioting monster. ”

"In this way, it will take a lot more time, so the construction of Tucheng has been approved and supported by a large number of adventurers, and Tucheng has been gradually built in such an environment."

"Of course, now I don't know how much time has passed, and there are no treasures in the Demon Forest for a long time, and Tucheng is not the original Tucheng, but an ordinary city, which is not what it used to be."

The city lord of Todd answered Chen Bing's question and talked about the origin of Tucheng.

"Did the Demonic Forest exist first, or did the Divine Tree appear earlier in the Origin Continent?"

Chen Bing asked again immediately.

"Then I don't know, whether it is when the Divine Tree appeared, or when the Demon Forest appeared, or how it was generated, although I have been the city lord for more than ten years, I am ashamed that I still don't know anything."

Lord Todd shook his head regretfully this time.

This is a very critical question, Chen Bing really wants to figure it out, but the city lord of Todd doesn't know, and Chen Bing hasn't withdrawn.

The matter on the city lord's side was temporarily over, Chen Bing took the key, returned to a small guest room in the city lord's mansion, and found Sissi.

I'm worried that it will take a long time to talk too much to the city lord, and Sissi will get bored on the sidelines, or if the city lord sees Sissi is cute and pitiful, and wants to hold Sissi's hand or touch her face, the city lord may be poisoned directly.

If that happens, Chen Bingke will be tragic.

So just in case, Chen Bing simply let Sissi play by herself in a living room.

Seeing someone coming in, Sissi was startled at first, and after recognizing that it was Chen Bing, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Brother, are you done talking?"

Sissi thought for a moment and asked.

On the way back, Chen Bing asked Sissi to call him brother.

Sissi was only eight years old, and asked her to call her brother, and Chen Bing felt that he was ten years younger all of a sudden.
